BAD AS OPEN SEWERS.
A Penn Avenue Physicians Startling Snni-
tury Pointer.

tary Pointer.
A Penn avenue physician raised the point
that the cable railway conduits are equivalent
to open sewers on the public thoroughfares; and
that they are liable to cause more or less sick
ness this spring. His theory is that more or
less filth runs into the conduits with the water
from rainfalls; that it lies there, not having
the open egress TO the river which the sewers
have; and that the open slot-way will emit
terrible ordor when warm weather reaches
town.
This physician suggests that the street car
companies be required to dump lot OF disen-
fectants into the conduits, and give them
thorough cleansing frequently

AN IMPRESSION MERELY.

oh, spring is the season when trees become green
And the blossoms begin to appear,
When the breezes are balmy and all is serene
And the heavens are smiling and clear.
'Tis the season when Nature in tenderest mood
Gives her sweetest ideas expression,
When she scatters her dainties through meadow
and wood
At least that's the common impression.

The Prisons.

E. R. Jackson. 81 Gill street, Columbus, o.,
was a soldier during the war, and was unlucky
enough 10 be captured, being held by the rebels
nearly Is months. His health was so injured
that no is unable to do any kind of hard labor,
and he would like a position Of some kind
under the Governments.
Wilbur L. Halo, Sergeant, Co. I, 120th n. Y,
Rondout, n. Y, says that some people think
ex-prisoners of war should not receive special
favors. The records of each regiment viii show
that the men captured in fights were among the
best of the Union army. They certainly we're
the last to run before a charge or a repulse Of
the enemy, and because they fought SO long
after the hopelessness of their case was apparent
10 faint-hearted comrades they were captured.
They also proved their loyalty by refusing
offers made by rebel officers. The writer was
in Pemberton Building, opposite Libby, where
an old man preached to the prisoners several
times. At first his words were sweet and his
coming welcomed, but later on he told them of
Federal wickedness in fighting the South, and
urged them 10 desert making promises of large
pay and employment beyond any danger of
capture from the Union army, nntil the men
led him 20 a secOnd-story window and told
him if he ever dared TO talk in that manner
again they would throw him out.

George f. King. lst Conn. II. A., Killingly,
Conn, says the record of his State In the wars
Of this country cannot be beaten. In the war
Of 1912, Connecticut was one Of the first to defy
and assail the Englishman, and the first two
British flags struck were TO sons of Counec-
ticut, as was the first British dag and the first
British gun captured in the Revolution. In the
late rebellion, the LIST Conn. three months was

viewed it and exclaimed THANK God, we
have one regiment ready 10 take the field"
On every great battlefield Of the rebellion
Conneeticuts sons aud grandsons lie. In the
regiments of every State they bore muskets
and held commissions. Not only Winthrop,
Ellsworth, Lyon, Foote, SedRwick, Mansfield,
Wright and Terry, but William T. Sherman,
u. :. Grant and host Of other soldiers sprang
straight from the loins Of the sturdy little
Commonwealth.
J. w. Campbell, Skunk, Pa, gives a brief ex-
tract from the history OF his regiment written
by the Adjutant Lewis Orator. The companies
comprising the 50th Pa. were recruited as fol-
lows: A, C and part of /, from Schuylkill; b,
and part of ii. Birks County; ID from Sus-
quehanna County; + from Lancaster County

from Chester County; part Of / from LuzeTn.
The rendezvous was Camp Curtin, Sept. 2S, 1861.
The Colonel was ID. C. Christ, Minersville. On
Oct. Gov. Curtin presented tho regiment
with a beautiful flag, which was duly accepted
and acknowledged by the Colonel. After this
tho regiment went To Washington, d. C., and

Knight Commander Five Times Over and
an Excellency" Besides.
John Ericsson, by virtue of mis- appoint
ment as Knight Commander of the Royal
Order of Isabella. was Spanish nobleman,
and his position as knight Commander,
first class, Danish Order Of Dannenbrog,
gave him the title of Excellency," with
ank next to that of Field Marshal and Ad-
miral, and entitled him to the military
honors due to Northumberland
The army regulations provide paragraphs
427, 449) that officers of foreign service shall
be received and saluted according to their
rank, says the Army and Navy journal. 1t
says nothing concerning funeral honors to
be paid them, but the regulations provide
that on the occasion of the burial of a
Northumberland salute of fifteen guns
shall be fired and a funeral escort be pro-
vided. under the command of a Lieutenant
General or An officer nearest to that grade
in rank, 10 consist OF regiment OF lnfan-
try, battalion OF cavalry and a battery of
artillery paragraphs 40, 467. 474, 40. AS
Ericsson ranked next alter an Admiral, or
with Vice-admirai, under the Danish law,
this fixes his status under the navy regula-
tons governing the matter Of funeral cere-
monies.
Aside altogether from the question Of
merit the honors bestowed upon Ericsson
while living may serve as guide in the ar
rangement of the function attending the
transfer of his remains to Sweden. Besides
the decorations referred to, he received
those Of knight of the Swedish order of
Vasa, a Knight Commander of the Norwe--
gian order of st. 0lOf and knight Com-
mander with the Grand Cross of the Swed-
ish order of the Polar Star. He received
by formal vote the thanks Of the American
Congress, Of the Legislature of the State of
New York, and of the Swedish Diet. He
never made any display of these honors,
and when he was once asked what titles
should accompany his name in the dedica-
ton of "HaSwelPs Engineering Hand
book" he answered, Captain and LID.
He was proud of the title of captain, re-
ceived in his youth from the Swedish Gov
eminent and of the degree bestowed as a
recognition of his contributions to science.
We have by no means given a catalogue
of Eriesson's honors They include the be-
stowaI in 1862 of the Rumford medal. which
had up to that date been awarded but once
before in this country during period of
nearly three-quarters Of century since the
establishment OF this fund by Count Rum
