Entertaining 8 Patient. TEroT1 tho Topdor, uozrikaI


 Nurses in hospitals are rather apt to lay too much stress on the advantages received by the patients and their duty of thankful ness, but still it is the poor soldier who suf- fers the most from always having his causes to be grateful flung in his teeth. Witness the following true story:
 Chaplain-So poor Hopkins is dead. I should have liked to speak to him once again and soothe his last moments; why didn't you call me?
 Hospital orderly-I didn't think yeu ought to be disturbed for 'Opkins, sir, 50 just soothed him as best could myself. Chaplain-Why, what did you say to him! orderlY-t"opkins," i" seE I, "you're mortal bad"
 ."opkins," ," sez I, ''I don't think you'll get better"
 ssNo," sez e.
 'sOpkins," sez I, "you're going. fast" "Yes," sez e.
 s"opkins," i" sez I, ''I don't think you can 'ope to go to 'eaven." stI don't think can," sez e.
 .'Well, then, 'Opkins," sez I, "youu go to 'ell." "I suppose so" sez e. 'sopkins, P sez I, ''you ought to be wegy grateful as there's place perwided for you. and that you've got somewhere to go." And think @ 'eerd, sir, and then @ died.

to bring about repetition of the state of things which hindered the French from real- izine the full superiority of the Chasspot dur ing their last war with Germany. At the commencement of that war thousands of the French troops did not even know how to fire their new rifles, and had to ask for instruc- tions on that subject. In the present case the danger is accentuated by the issue of a new regulation forbidding men to take into ac- count either the smoke or the noise in battle. This is of course, on account of the new smokeless rife. The position of party on the defensive, hitherto betrayed by cloud of smoke, will henceforth remain undisclosed to the assailants, and the practice of forceing the enemy to deploy by fire from great distance will have to be abandoned. The more the attacking party marches in serried ranks and the quicker it advances upon the enemy, themore fearful will be the losses inflicted upon it by the invisible foe. These are very momentous changes, amounting, ia fact, to s revolution in the modern art of war. But the plan of making French soldiers carry their old rifles while they go through move ments appropriate only to the new arm can only lead to confusion

MIR. SARGENT SQUIRMS. A Editor nf tha InnRNAI AHn GouRIER.

To the Editor ofthe JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 learn that you innocently published, pre- suming it to be correct, 8 garbled forgery that learn is being circulated by the Re- publican party of this city and State, being an alleged statement by me before the Tariff commission in August, 1882, when I was member of the Republican party, and while the Republican President, for whom voted, was the chief executive of the United States.
 My statement contains 544 lines and was published in pamphlet of sixteen pages. This garbled and patched together forgery consists of sixty-two lines or parts of lines of the 544 lines of my statement, and they were taken from various places on ten different pages leach page containing ffty-six 1ines) and were patched together to make the circu- lar appear as 8 continuous statement. I know the partisan liar in New York who got it up, because there is only enc liar in New York mean enough to do it. I wish the punishment might be that the author and abettors should print and circulate the whole statement as originally made it.
 J. B. SARGENT.
 This letter from Mfr. J. B. Sargent relates to leaaet containing pithy extracts from MT. Sargent's testimony before the Tariff commission. He does not deny that he made the statements attributed to him. He complains that only part of all he said on
  cusably, ss it seems to us, calls what does not purport to be his entire testimony a for gerry. His statement that he knows ''the par tisan liar in New York" who compiled the extracts indicates that MT. Sargent has lost control of his temper. A comparison of the extracts with the original publication shows that they are accurately copied from his tes- timony. Many of these statements were made by Mr. Sargent on his cross-examina- ton. Statements thus obtained usually con- tain good deal of "trus inwardness." Mr. Sargent Is free trader. The hearty sup- port which such men as Mir. Sargent, Pro- lessor Sumner and others of like faith give to MT. Cleveland shows what they think Clevelandism really means. From 8 careful reading of all Mir. Sargent's testimony before the Tariff commission as published in their report, it appears to us that no injustice is done him by the publication of the extracts. Our readers can verify this by referring to the report of the Tariff commission, Vol I, page 597. Let Mir. Sargent, if he thinks it of interest, print and circulate all his tssti- mony It will not help the cause he advo- aatea

 But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh gives but faint idea of what this remedy will do in the chronic forms, where the breathing Is ob- structed by choking, putrid mucous accumulatons, the hearing affected smell and taste gone, throat ucerated and hacking cough gradually fastening itself upon the debilitated system.

MRS. HARRIsON's EASY MANNERS.
Her Grac1Ousness Charmed the People
 Who Met Her in Cincinnati.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
 Mrs. W. W. Seely, as chairman of the reps oeption committe of ladies, stepped quickly to Mrs. Harrison and welcomed her in few
 well-chesen words, and then performed her duty of presenting the other ladies with sin- gulsr tact and pleasant cordiality.
 Mrs. Harrison stood the test then required of her in a manner that sent away each lady that shook hands with her
 eloquent with praise of her unaffect.
 ed cordial manner, and the easy grace with
 which she received old friends and new ad-
 mirrers. The first effect of Mrs. Hsrrison's
 appearance is that of woman who is think
 ing first and always of those about her, and who is not thinking in the least of herself;
 she never touches herl ldress to see if it hangs right; she never adjusts her bonnet-strings or looks at her gloves, or makes 8 movement of any kind that suggest she has one thought of
 her personal appearances. To be sure her mirror must have told her yesterday that she was dressed in exquisite taste, and shat every detail of her costume was faultlessly adjusted; l; her dress of brown gros grain silk fell in graceful folds, and half hidden in thse folds were panels of pale blue brocade in pattern of rich embroidery in the same shade of blue, and soft folds of white illusion and of lace formed 6 surplice trimming from the throat to the waist; this trimming was caught with long diamond pin, the only ornament of the costume; her bonnet was of black velvet, tuf- ted with white, and on the black loops of the trimming of the front softly nestled the wings of dove. Tan gloves completed this handsome costume, which it goes without saying, was peculiarly becoming to the wear CT. Mrs Hsrrisons hair is of that beautiful shade between gray and snowy white which, l when seen, reconciles every woman to the prospect of her own hair turning, if only Il would 1t would be sure to turn that kind oi gray. It rests in wavy lines about fore head which is singularly smooth and white | to be crowned with gray hair, and above 6 pair of calm, penetrating eyes, whose kindly expression at once makes every one who takes her hand feel at ease and quite well satis. | fed with herself or himself either

EDTTORTAL NOTES.

A prominent Philadelphia engineer has been making a series of experiments with re- speot to the draught power of horses on the various kinds of oity pavementS. He finds that what one horse can draw on asphalt re- quires three to draw on common Belgian block and about six to draw on cobble- stones.
 There were 1e.912 patents issued last year, and of these but 1 ,0S3 were granted to south erners. Texas led the southern States, a patent being granted for every 6,006 Texans. Florida came next. Mississippi's ratio was one patent to every 25, 148 of her population. Alabama, in spite of the recent great mes chanicaI development of the State, vas cred- ited with but ffty-four inventions in the year.
 A Georgia husband refused to pay his wife aNmony, as he was ordered to do by the court. He was accordingly sent to prison. He then raised the point that his commit- ment was imprisonment for debt and hence contrary to the constitution of Georgia. The Supreme court of that State says that pay- ment of alimonY when decreed is 8 duty which 8 husband owes not only to his wife,
 but also to the community, and that if he is
 able to pay it, but will not, the court has
 full power to seud him to jail until he does
 pay 1t.
 Senator Ingalls, says of the Republican
 prospects: Taking all can learn by conver- sation and correspondence, representing in- formation from all sections in which we are most concerned, like New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana, and putting every thing together, cannot see how 1t can be possible for the Republicans to fail. The campaign has been most judieiously man. aged. The party is united everywhere and will receive strong re-enforcements from the conservative elements of the Democracy There will be no mistakes made in the last 1 days ot the campaign.
