WHERE SHE COMES.
With heavy elders overhung.

With heavy elders overhung.
Half hid in clover masses,
An old fence rambles on, among
The tangled meadow-grasses,
1t makes shade for lady-fern
+ Which nestles close beside it;
While clematis, at every turn,
And roses almost hide it.
In shade of ov srhanging sprays
And down a sunny hollow,
By hazel-copse, and woodland ways,
The winding fence follow;
By rose, and thorn, and fragrant dew,
In search Of something sweeter-
The orchard-gap, where she comes through
And go down to meet her!
The sunlight slants across the fence,
Where lichens gray it over,
And stirs hundred dreamy scents
From fern, and mint, and clover;
But though the air is sweet to-day,
know of something sweeter:
That she can only come this way,
And am sure to meet her!
And So while chipmunks run match
To tell the wrens who's coming,
And all across the brier patch
There sounds a drowsy humming-
The hum of honey-seeking bees
l seek for something sweeter:
a gap, amongst the apple-trees,
Where l am going to meet herr

the latter organization. Several years ago
he was first lieutenant in the Worcester
Light Infantry. He had salary Of $1,000
at the bank ana his wife had an independ-

General Schenck and the Tough.

A correspondent of the Boston Globe
relates the following characteristic ancc-
dote of the late General Schenck:
was camped just across little creek
opposite General Schenck's tent, where
| could see all that took place and also
hear good part of the conversation.
One fine day was aroused by loud words
coming from across the stream.
Looking up saw General Schenck in
excited conversation with o man about
his own size. The general was saying:
II don't want to hear anything about
the business Get away from here, sir,
or | will call the guard and have you
arrested
The mans dress and manner were
characteristic of the cowboy; he had
lost something and had come to Gen.
Schenck as he would go to common
soldier and wanted the general to look
it up for him. He was not inclined to
move off at the generals request, but
persisted. The general became still
more angered, and finally told the man
that he was only hanger on to the
army and no better than a horse thief
anyway.
The man answered by telling the
general that he took advantage of him
because he was protected by his shoulder
straps.
In second off came the coat and
shoulder straps, and Gen. Schenck was
even handed with his man; and if you
think he didn't thrash that man you
don't know him as we'll as l did, and
he did 1t in style, too.

PennsyIvania's War Gain.

Representative Marsh of Pennsylvania has
reported 10 the House from the committee
on war claims the bill appropriating So, H.
9l5 for the payment of damages sustained by
citizens OF Pennsylvania from Union and
Confederate troops during the late war.
These claims, says an accompanying report,
have been adjusted and readjgsiel under con-
ditions and methods of procedure which
would seem TO exclude al possibility of
Misrepresentation OF imposition. They are
deliberately and car, fully passed upon in
an orderly proceeding. in which the adverse
interest was represented. The report also
refers to cases where governments have
made good the losses sustained by citizens
in time of war, and says that the manifest
and conclusive tcaching Of them all
is to Pdmonish legislatures and governments
that he spirit of the age and the morality of
the public law unite in demanding that
where war has brought upon individuals
peculiar and special losses which have been
incurred for and resulted in the general
good OF the entire people, the treasury ofthe
entire people ought 10 make compensation
therefor.

Driver was to Blame.

Judge Ely of the municipal court at Bos
ton has sent to the sup, rior court his finding
on the inquest on the death of George H.
Bradford, who was killed by an electric car
Feb. IL. judge Ely SAYS il appears from the
testimony of the driver an others that the
car was running with great swiftness, and
be closes as follows: at appears to me also
that if said driver had applied his brake at
the time when he saw, or should have seen,
the danger in which Mr.. Bradford was
placed at the time-indeed, when a number
of persons did see the danger-the car would
have stopped before it reached Mr.. Bradford,
and this accident would not have happened.
So far as it appears in the testimony taken
before me, the failure of the driver to sea-
sonably stop his car is without palliation or
excuse. therefore find that the death OF
George H. Bradford resulted from the I'M
lawful act of Daniel w. Lizet.

Wonderful Surgery,

in surgical practice, the successful substitu.
ton of ivory and bone free from chalk in
cases OF osseous carries, causing necrosis of
the bone, and catgut, in cases Of disease OF
the muscles, sinews or nerves. The profess

up the natural juices of the body, and
thus establishes function with the sep
arated ends by the process Of knitting, and
causes no shortening of the limbs, or con.
traction of the muscles, sinews or nerves A
patient was brought forward who had from
6 to 10 centimetres of catgut inserted in
place of diseased sinews of the hands, by
which perfect mobility was attained, q
thing hitherto impossible. Another had
had tumor removed from the thigh, caus.
ing considerable defect in the femur. A
piece of ivory was inserted and no shorten
