A Bullet In His Brain.


Merct, the Philadelphia veteran, who
lived twenty-five years with a bullet i'm.
bedded in the tissues OF his heart, has a
parallel in the case of Abraham Delong,
q prominent farmer of this County, who
carried an ounce of Confederate lead on
his brain for twenty years before it
caused his death, the atrangest features
Of the circumstances being that the
presence of the bullet never was known
until the autopsy brought it to light.
Delong received his wound at the bat.
tie of Stone River. The bullet struck
him squarely on the nose, we'll up be.
tween the eyes, in such way as to split
the bone, which, closing up again, left
only slight wound that the surgeon
declared had been caused by bullet
coming from a side direction and clip
ping off the skin as it sped by.
Delong kept his feet, suffering very
little, and in few days was again in
fighting trim. he served to the close OF
var and returned home to his little
family and his plough. As the years
passed Delong experienced painful
sensations in the head, at first
slight, but more and more severe at
each recurrence, until his suferinga
finally drove him crazy. He was taken
to the Insane Asylum at Drayton for
treatment, where he regained his mental
faculties, but received no relief from the
terrible pain and pressure in his head
that made life almost intolerable.
Some time before his death, which took
place in 1882, Delong got Che idea that
the bullet that struck him at tStone River
had indeed entered his head and pro.
posed to submit to a surgical operation
that would determine whether he was
right about it. This opinion was not
shared by bis physicians, and the opera
tion necessarily being dangerous one
they declined to search for the suspected
missile. He then requested that after
his death an examination be made, in
order that his widow and children
should it appear that he had died o.
injuries received in the service of his
country, might receive greatly needed
pension, his long period of illness and
inability to work having quite eaten uE
his little fortune.
Accordingly an autopsy was held. Tt
the surprise of the doctors, and as Delong
had predicted, they found bullet, OIL
rather two jagged pieces Of lead, in his
head back of the frontal bones. One
portion had lodged just over the brain
where, together with fragment Of bone
that had been broken off by the bullet
as it tore its way into the Uranium, had
become incysted with hard growth
which, extending year by year, pressed
harder against the brain, causing that
terrible pain of which Delong com
planned, and resulting in arrangement
and death. Had it been known that the
bullet which struck him at Stone River
found lodgnent in his head surgical
skill might have availed to prolong The
victims life for many years. As it was
it was looked upon as most remarkable
that Delong should have survived as
long as he did. Mrs. Delong applied fol
and received pension. Cincinnati En-

During the past winter we observed
every Salesday that there were certain
teachers, both white and seolored, Who
were always here on that day and ;,if We
are not mistaken, We have seen one or
two of them coming out of the saloons.
This is not as it should be. Certainly
absence from the school room just to be
in town on Salesday to attend to some
trivial matters of business is ine1cusable.
Teaching is a business, and must be fol.
lowed just like any other business to
make it q success, and that means that it
must be followed with persistence and
energy. The time from Monday morn.
ing until Friday evening does not belong
to the teacher, but to those to$whom he
has basgained it for a consideration, and
he has no more right to take that time
than he has to take anything else. Aside
from that, the children get loose ideas of
the value and Importance of school if
the teacher may dismiss for day to 60
to town, OF to a flolic, or for any other
purpose short of stsrn necessity. "Hold
the fort" constantly, and by your pune.
tuality and faithfnlness show the children
that you, at least. are in earnest, and
they will as certainly catch the spirit Of
earnestness as that fire will spread when
fed with fuel. - -

Don't enter your school room with 8
long face like you we're going to q
funeral. Be bright and cheerful. Be
approachable and make the children love
to be neas you. Be sympathizing, and
encourage their confidence. Be in earn.
est, and teach them that life is full of
earnestness. Condone their little mis-.
takes and teach them not to make the
same mistake the second time. Don't be
cross, don't be Grabbed, don't be sour.
That kind of teacher is sure to be
unsuccessful.

AGAINST THE CENTENNIAL.
The remnants of the old anarchist
organization, which was so strong three
years ago, was much interested in the
celebration in New York.
At the last meeting at Waverly Hall
the anarchists and socialists came 10 an
agreement that the present Constitution
of the United States was fno use 10 the
poor people. One speaker observed:
"The Constitution Nas the work of Alex.
a2der Hamilton, who led the people di-
rectly away from the Declaration of In
dependence. The party he represented
is still alive. The four hundred of New
York who will conduct this centennial
performance know where their safety
lies, and they know they are safe as long
as the Constitution is as it is."
Remarkable as it may seem, Mrs. Lucy
Parsons upheld the Constitution. She
said: "You talk about the Constitution

The young man who prides himself OH
his family or his money and snubs the
honest artisan ought to be taken behind
the house and kicked. There is a ton of
pig iron that cost S12 and sells for Sic
s11.50 of that ton is labor. The material
cost only half dollar for the ore is in
the earth and labor gets it out. The
charcoal is in The timber, the limestone
in the quarry and the sand in the sand
bed. That ton Of pig iron is converted
into pipe at the pipe works by labor and
is then worth thirty dollars; or it is con-
verted into nails and is worth sixty.fYe
dollars. Admission soon will be making
four hundred tons per day, and will con-
vert it all into pipe and car wheels and
nails and boilerplate and bar iron and
other industrial products. Before long
there will be stove works and works for
edged tools and potware and spades and
picks, and all these will add still more to
the value of the half dollars worth of raw
material, and it will all come from labor.
It is believed that within Eve years the
400 tons of pig iron will be increased in
value to forty thousand dollars, and this
amount be realized every day.
I asked my iron friend how far the
beneficial influence of these Admission
industries extended into the farming
country. SIT is impossible to tell" he
said, "but certainly for twenty-five miles

each individual farmer to put forth his

when each farmer gathers his own crop

And when any man takes more than this,
