DR.. Gardner cited as an example his personal
observation Of the body of the late General
Farnsworth, on which he counted thirty-two
scars received in battle from shell, shot
swords, and bayonots, many Of them seemingly
fatal, though he recovered and lived to die
quietly in his bed as a Christian. He also
personally knew Gen. Schuyler Hamilton, who
when aide to General Scott during the Mexican
war, was, while carrying an order, pierced
through the body by a Mexican lance, the wea-
pom entering the back just below the right
kidney and emerging from the front Of the
abdomen He recovered and served in the
late war.
Perhaps the most wonderful instance of re-
covery was that of man working on a railroad
in Massachusetts,. While ramming blast in a
rock the powder was ignited and premature
explosion ensued, blowing the steel rammer,
about two feet long and one inch thick, through
his head, entering below the left eye and COM
ing out at the top of his head. He recovered,
went to California and was in business there
many years. When he died he willed his skull
to DIR. Henry Bigelow, the attending physician,
and it il now in the medical museum at Har-
ward.
DR.. Gardner will deliver three other lectures
before the troops at the barracks and the ques-
ton is being discussed by Gen. Ordway and
others Of having them delivered before the
District militia. Quite o number Of citizens
are interested in them.

became heated and began using abusive
language which resulted In a fist fight.
Parks wrapped his arm around De-
Mainville while the latter got Parks

him. Parks pushed Dc Mainville against
the railing where his foot caught and he
fell heavily to the ground with the little
attorney on top, who used bis hands and

ident Livingston Talks of the Propo-
sition to Consolidate With the
Knights OF Labor.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4-The annual conven-

the city, and by Gov. Francis for the state,
and a brief response by J. II. Mcdowell.
chairman of the executive board, the con-
vention took a recess until afternoon.
At1:30 O'Clock the convention reassembled
in executive session for business. These
meetings are to be secret.

Arkansas alliance, Kentucky wheel, Ken
lucky alliance, Kansas wheel, Virginia
alliance, Georgia alliance; Tennessee
Farmers and Laborers' Union, Louisiana
Farmers Union, Oklahoma wheel, Mary
land alliance, Alabama alliance, Nebraska

THE NORTHERN ALLIANCE.
The delegates to the convention of the
northern alliance meeting at the Planters

Secretary August Post, held an informal
conference in parlor No. %. There are
seventy-five delegates to the convention,
representing the state organizations of
Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Iowa,

Union, a committee was appointed to con-
fer with a similar committee from the

dation. A majority of the committee are
not in favor of consolidation.
PROPOSAL OF THE KNIGHTS.
As to the proposed consolidation with the
KING is of Labor, f. L. Livingstone, presi-
dent of the Georgia state organization,
said:
We propose to form an offensive and defen-
sive alliance with the Knights of Labor. and to
cooperate with them as long as it is mutually
advantageous. If our paths lead us along the
same road it adds to the strength of both orders
to work together. When our ways diverge we
can part in friendship to meet farther along in
some other issue. / am not one of the principal
advocates of cooperation with the knights, but
can see the advantage to be derived from such
a stem.
