FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 80.

Col. ANDERSON, in bis excellent ADDRESS
at the unwilling of the Lse statue IN NICE
mond yesterday, said:
General Lee In the union OF military
greatness with the noblest public and pri-
Vate virtue presented that rare combination
cf qualities which men delight to honor.
Virginia had produced two such stainless
captairs. The lame of the one had been Coz
secrated by a century of universal reverence
aud the growth of colossal empire; the
fame of the other, not yet generation old'
and won in cause which was lost. was al
ready established upon pinnacle equal TO
that of the other. Virginis's monument TO
Washington had found its only fitting con-
pletement and companion in the monument
to Lee unveiled to-day"
This paragraph voices the opinion OF
every upprtj udicsd man at all familiar
with the life and character OF General Lee
Virpinia has the proud and singular distinc-
ton of having produced the only two great
men of whom history makes record, who's;
patriotic actions were not In some degree
Influenced By thoughts of self.

A Mountain Tribe.

A strange aud interesting class OF
people live in the mountain regions of
eastern Gallicia and Rukowina, and in
the border mountains OF hungary.
They are called Huzuls, and are a
mixture OF two tribes which were
driven out of Slavonia and Mongolia
six hundred years ago.
They are at present about so, 900 in
number, and live in small settlements,
seldom more than six or seven fami-
lies in a settlement. These settle
ments are called "starosties," the
"starost,n or governor, being always
the Oldest son of the founder of the
settlement, and his direct descend
ants.
This governor has unlimited control
of the people, but he possesses no moro
land or focks than any other man in
the starosty, as the fields and sheep
which form the wealth, and are the
pride of the Huzuls, are the common
property of the settlement
Although they have regular homes.
they make very little use of them as
abiding places. AS soon as the first
signs of spring, which they call the
green time" appear they are of. and
for seven months wander through the
mountains as hunters or herdsmen, and
only the ''black time" of winter brings
them back to the settlement. AS to
their religious belief, they are heather,
and are filed with all sorts of strange
superstition.

Haiistones Extraordinary.

The hailstones that fell in recent
thunderstorms in Connecticut were
extraordinarily large, and cut like
flying shot In one tempest along
the Sound they were simply misshap-
pen chunks of ice. They tore corn
into tatters and pierced the hides OF
cattle so that blood followed the impact
of each ice-ball. The foliage of shade
trees was slashed from the boughs
At Bradford, on Long Island sound,
the stones were two or three inches il
diameter. Many inches were smashed
by the ice.
1t is u theory of a Connecticut
weather observer that the ragged,
irregularly formed hail accompanies
any cyclone of the genuine western
breed. There have been two cyclones
in the State this month, and the curious
hail was a feature of each. One
cyclone, the first one, which was
noted in the Sun at the time swept
down the Quinnebaug river valley
from a point forty miles north to this
city and wrought great havoc. The
other one roared along the Sound
shore last Sunday afternoon. 1t came
in funnel-shaped cloud and with a
horrible grinding roar. In each in
stance thunderbolts did as much dam
age as the blast. Miss Josie Peck Of
Madison was out in the storm. anG
her face was badly cut and Scared by
the ice pellets. AT Waterbury, also.
several ladies had their face, hands
and arms deeply cut, and blood flowed
from their wounds.

twenty hours without q moments rest.

A Fortified Monster.

The long-continued drought in GEN.
trail and southern iowa has brought to
light the petrified remains OF some an
tediluvian monster, over which the
waters of the Des Moines river have
rolled for centuries, says the st. Louis
Republic. The resting-place of this
original settler is in the bed of the
river near the little village of Percy,
in Marion county. During the great
drought of three years ago, when the
river was lower than it had been with
in the memory of white men, S. r.
Dawson, a gentleman living near
Percy, claimed that he had found a
queer thing" in the river near town.
The present dry spell proves that
Dawson was right, and that his queer
thing" is an extinct monster of gigan-
tic proportions. The head has been
detached and lies forty or fifty feet
from the body. which Is now about
fifteen yards in length, notwithstand-
ing the fact that several joints are
missing. At a distance of thirteen
feet from the tip of the tail the stony
monster is 4 feet inches in breadth.

A KNOWING ANIMAL.
A san Francisco Dog Goes TO the Hos
naYmi for Treatment.

patai for Treatmsnt.
The surgeons at the receiving hos
pital have 10 deal with many peculiar
patients. says the San Francisco
Chronicle, but until yesterday they
had never been called upon TO minis
ter to the needs of a member of the
canine family. An hour or so before
noon handsome setter dog came
limping up to the hospital door, and
asked, as well as any dog could be eE-
pected TO ask, to have his injured foot
attended to. The request was made
in piteous whines, and the wounded
foot was held up toward the astonlsh-
cd doctors in the most supplicating
manner.
Matron Karr was about to bid the
canine intruder begone when DIR. Wolf
interfered, and invited the strange
patient to enter. He accepted the in
vitation with alacritY and without
moments hesitation mounted the
operating table and stuck OFT the in
jured foot in the same manner as be-
fore.
Cn examination it was found that
the poor animal had stepped upon q
piece of sharp glass, which still re-
manned Undecided in his foot. The
surgeon hesitated for moment, as
though debating the question OF ad-
ministering an anesthetic to the pa
tient and then, suddenly seeming to
make up his mind, he grasped the ex-
tended paw firmly, but gently, reached
| for surgical instrument. and in a
| jify had drawn the foreign substance
! from the foot The dog gave howl
OF pain rs the glass was drawn forth,
but q moment later began tapping the
hands of the surgeon, thanking him
as plain as plain could be for the SER
vices which he had just rendered
him.
DR.. Wolf then applied an ointment
to the wound, wrapped the foot in a
bandage and dismissed the patient,
who hobbled away on three feet, with
many bark of gratitude and thankful
wag of his shaggy tail.

THE IDEAL PHYSICIAN.
He Must Ne Nearly Perfect to Fulan All
These Reauirements.

These Requirements.
According to writer in the Con-
temporary Review. the physician
should be strong and healthy man.
master OF his profession, OF course,
and a gentleman: tho last word i'm
plying gentle manners and fine
sense of honor. His approach to the
sick chamber should be like s.foot-
steps upon WOOL" and his presence
therein benedictlon. Strong in his
knowledge firm but gentle even to
womanliness in his touch, magnetic in
his sympathies discreet of speech,
sincere in counsel. he would always
inspire not only the relatives but the
patient with confidence and gratitude.
Ii the case Were not serious the loss
OF prospective fees would not prevent
his mingling his sincere pleasure with
that of the relatives; it it were past
hope his sympathy would make the
terrible affection easier to bear.
Would it be impertinent to ask how
many members of noble profession
satisfy these requirements The
medical profession in America
aDounds with competent and honora-
BILE men satisfying some of them.
Some have the knowledge and expe-
rience without the more graceful
qualities. Others have the social ac-
complishments without the scientific
requirements. 1t is better to have
honesty and ability united, even with
degree of rudeness, than to have all
the social graces in the world without
the necessary skill. A doctor may be
a bear in manners, yet if he keeps
death from the door. his attentions
cannot only be tolerated, but CRATE
fully accepted.
