Joseph Jefferson, in his autobiography
in the forthcoming Midsummer (August)
Century, relates what was probably the
last jest of Artemus Ward.
When the famous wit lay dying in
Southampton he was tended by his de-
voted friend "Tom' Robertson, the Eng
lish playwright, who was also a friend Of
jefferson.
Just before Wards DEATH" writes Mr..
Jefferson, Robertson poured out some
medicine in glass and offered it to his
friend.
Ward said. My dear Tom, can't take
that dreadful stuff
"Come, come, said Robertson, urging
him to swallow the nauseous drug;
there's dear fellow. Do now, for my
sake; you know would do anything for
you.
"'Would your said Ward. feebly
stretching out his hand TO. grasp his
friends, perhaps for the last time.
81 would indeed, said Robertson.
"'Then you take it, said Ward. The
humorist passed away but few hours
afterward."

christ hospital Not Liable.

Counsellor James Flemming obtained
from Vice Chancellor Green this morn
ing an order to dismiss a rule to show
cause in the case of the executors of
Francis G. Whetmore against the Hud-
son County Hospital and others, which
unravelled a complicated case The
executors brought suit against the hos
pital to fore close mortgage upon the
property of the institution upon which
was due balance of So, 900. The Hud-
son County Hospital was succeeded by
the Hudson County Hospital and Home,
and later by Christ Hospital. which
leased the property from the second or
ganization. Christ Hospital was made a
defendant in the suit because of the pos
sible interest which it might have in the
property through conveyance made to
it by the old institution, but which, how
ever, Christ Hospital did not accept.
The executors obtained a Judgment
and Mr. Flemming applied for rule to
open the Judgment and let Christ Hos
pital in to defend. That rule was vacated
this morning, as John w. Heck, counsel
for the executors. released Christ Hos
pital from all liability.

His voice saved Him.

The late Cyp Whitman, who had very
peculiar voice. was member of the
Twelfth Maine in the Department of the
Gulf. One day the regiment was out on
dress parade when a short, stumpy officer
with short legs and a broad expanse of
abdomen came riding past. Cyp allowed
his astonishment to overcome his discre-
tion.
'sWhat is that?" he asked in his inimit-
able voice.
Instantly discipline was lost and laugh
ter ruled supreme. Cyp was arrested and
taken to the guardhouse ana finally be-
fore the regimental officers, and was
asked
"Did you not know that military dis
cipline forbids you to speak disrespect-
fully of an officer?"
And again was heard that thin drawl:-
''Was that an officerW
And now it was the officers turn to
roar, and Cyp was dismissed without pun
ishment or reprimand. 1t is added that
the officer was Benjamin Franklin But

piled. THAT is to say, it can not be

1t is beautiful soil, rich and mellow
enough to make any body who likes gar
dening want to climb over the wall and
go to digging. However handsome our
gardens are at home, there come the
yellow leaf and the blighting frost, and
for five months the prettiest garden is
no more than pit of mud or frozen

no sleep for the garden. 1t is as busy
in January as in July. And every gar
den is sheltered from the high winds,

got there. In the lazy Bermuda eli

let the city OF New York represent the

perhaps, there are too many saloons to

Dissertation of graves in the District was
accompanied by a report which incOr-
porated a long argument signed by a

The argument from the committee OF

Anatomy and surgery can be learned
only by the dissection of human bodies.
There is no other way. If there were
any other, physicians and students
would be glad enough TO give up dis
secting and medical colleges would be
glad to avoid the expense and bother of
building and running dissecting rooms.

of this method-the former often visit

every one of us.

the necessity for dissection, and they
know that our methods of obtaining
bodies are the same as have prevailed

suitable legislation rendered legiti-
