The G. A. r. Encampment for 1892.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch
1t is now an assured fact that the National
Encampment of the Grand Army of the Re
public will not be held in Philadelphia next
year. AT a meeting of the commanders of
the various posts in this city yesterday final
action was taken upon the subject, and the
encampment will not come here next year.
Twenty y-seven posts were represented, of
which 15 voted against instructing represen-
tatives to tender the invitation to hold the
meeting here and IL voted in favor. The
representative of one post declined to vote.
From Reports IN Philadelphia Papers
From the above it would appear that
Philadelphia is keeping up her reputation of
bers of the G. A. R. throughout the United
States should know that they are not wanted
in Philadelphia in 1892. We're it not that
Philadelphia has taken such great pains to
let them know, the members of the National
Encampment might have voted to have the
next encampment held in Philadelphia. The
votes of the 26 posts would not be drop in
the bucket 1t the National Encampment, but
when it is known that they are not wanted,
it is hardly likely that Philadelphia will be
troubled with the National Encampment in
1892, or any other year in the near future.
The great West mas plenty of first-class
cities where the boys in blue are welcome at
any time the National Encampment shall
honor them with visit, and extend to them
a soldiers welcome. All delegates know
that a soldiers welcome means that the dele
gates pay their own expenses and the city
nays for the fireworks. OLD PITTSBURGER.

A BAR TO KISSES.
A Little Boy Who Eats Onions to Get Ahead
of the Ladies.

of the Ladies.
New York Commercial Advertiser.I
Down at Nantucket Beach they tell this
story: When Governor Hill visited that
place recently he was received with quite
an ovation from the assembled natives and
summer boarders, who gathered on the
beach to receive him as he stepped from the
small boat that carried him from the yacht
Fra Diavalo.
Among those congregated on the beach
was the Rodgers family, of this city. The
senior Rodgers is a prominent lawyer. The
next conspicuous member of the family,
besides the mother, is their son Tudor. This
boy is child of years. If a vote was taken
in this big city as to who was the most
beautiful child it is conceded by those who
know that this boy would get the prize. No
one appreciates this fact more than
the women. The child is con-
slant object of their admiration, and
if it is possible to get him
within arms reach they are bound to secure
a kiss from him, and the child has become
heartily sick of it. When Governor Hill
stepped on shore little Tudor very naturally
became an object of his admiration, and the
Governor naturally wanted to kiss the child;
but upon his attempt to do so the boy drew
back and emphatically refused TO be kissed.
The Governor was rather amazed at this,
but to humor the child said to him. "But,
my little man, if you refuse to kiss me, what
do YOU do when the ladies want to kiss

His Health by 1t.

His Health by 1t.
PATERSON, July 31.-Paterson has q man
who has voluntarily equaled the fasts of
S1gnor Succi and DR.. Tanner. Dennis Quig-
ley abstained from food for 81 days in order
to regain his health.
Quigley entered st. Joseph's Hospital. in
this city, about three months ago, suffering
from an injury to his spine which he re-
ceived in mine at Sterling. The injury had
affected Quigley's stomach, and he could not
retain particle OF solid food. Finally his
taste left him, and Quigley decided to starve
himself, and exactly IL days ago last Satur-
day he stopped eating.
No food passed his lips and no nouri5h-
ment, except an occasional cup of strong tea
or glass of water. He showed no particular
desire for food and had no craving for any
thing. He wasted away to a mere skeleton,
but declared that he felt much better. The
physicians in charge of the case kept q close
watch on their patient.
On Saturday morning Qufgley said he
thought he would like to have piece of
homemade pie and insisted upon having it.
piece was brought in and set before him.
He soon ate it, after which he had hearty
meal. As he took the first piece of pie in
his mouth and swallowed it he smiled, and
the physicians present were surprised when
he informed them that he conld taste it.
His taste not only had returned, but all of
the solid food of which he partook remained
on his stomach.
Although very weak ,Quigley is greatly i'm
proved, and the physicians pronounce the
case 81 most remarkable one The injured
spine is gradually improving and a complete
cure is hoped for by the doctors. Quigley
now rests well and eats heartily. He Is
rapidly gaining in weight and expects to be
about in few weeks.

BAVARIA'S MAD KING.
Otto Has Lucid Intervals, but They Are
Very Few and Short.


Glasgow Mail.l
King Otto Of Bavaria has of late shown
some lucid intervals, and there is actually
hope of at least partial restoration of the
unfortunate monarch's senses.
Two Sundays ago, after a day passed in
alternate spells of peeling potatoes and
standing on his head, the demented monarch
was carried in an exhausted condition to his
bed. He awoke at an early hour on the fol-
lowing morning and began to weep silently
but bitterly. An attendant approached His
Majesty and asked, as usual by signs, if he
were in pain, and to his surprise received a
coherent reply from the King that he was
not suffering from bodily trouble, but that
his tears were caused by his unhappy condi-
tiOn.
He then asked for his mother and per-
mitted himself to be dressed and ate his
breakfast without giving signs of insanity.
He conversed for moment or two intelli-
gently with one of his physicians and then
suddenly relapsed into stupor and sleep.
When he awoke again his madness was with
him and he sprang from his couch and began
to walk on all fours, growing like dog.
On two subsequent days the King has given
signs Irrational comprehension and the ply
sfcians are consulting in regard to an entire
alteration in their treatment of the royal
madman. Hypnotism and electricity, it is
stated, will be brought into prominent use

REvULSION.

The very bones of me rebel,
Icannot be resigned;
1 am so all too tired to tell
Of being so refined.
NV instincts are to nasty nice,
I'd rather be more brute,
And not so easy to disgust,
And difficult to suit.
NV fun is all a razor-edge
And needle-point affair
That hasn't any vicera;
My very woes are spare
And decOrous. and qualified;
A robust grief to me,
With groans and tears and takings-on
Would be luxury.
Ivow I'm going to learn to chew
And navy plug, what's more!
I'm going to wear gingiram shirt,
And spit right on the floor.
Cravats and collars I'll abjure,
A slouch shall be my hat;
My diet, pork with cabbage (boiled),
And beer-bock- beer at that.
I'll learn to drive a speedy nag,
And laugh boisterous laugh;
To down men bluntly in debate,
Or shut them up with chaff.
I'd go to Congress if l could,
And since L can't go there,
III gladly be an Alderman,
Or even run for Mayor,
Icannot stand it any more,
My cultures not the stuff,
For though it's pretty to be nice.
It's wholesome tn hp touph
Perhaps when I've grown coarser-grainet
I'll have less cause to sigh
At finding that my fellows have
So much more fun than 1.

CLEANLINESS AND GOODNESS.
Origin of That Saying as Found by David
M Stone

NJ. stone.
David M. Stone editor of the New York
Journal Of Commerce writing to the .Sun says:
"The most gifted Homer may nod-in hot
weather. unearthed the saying, 'Cleanli-
ness is next to Godliness' after all the quo
tation books had failed" He then quotes
from his paper:
"We do not wonder that our Sunday
School Pupil could not find Cleanliness
is next to Godliness in the Bible, because
it is not there. The sentence first made its
appearance in Berdithd as the last Mishna of
Sofa, chapter TX. lishao (instruction) is a
word applied by the Jews to the oral law,
which is divided into six parts. The Jewish
Talmud is a commentary on the Mishna.
The reference to that are: Talmud Jerus,
Skakaliln, chapter Ill, page 6; Talmud babI.
Alb. Sarah, page 20 b: Jalket, sh. Isaiah No.
263; and Alfassi alb; Sarah. ibid loc. Here it
reads as follows: 'Phinehas ben Yair says:
The doctrines of religion are resolved into
(or are next toy carefulness; carefulness into
Vigorousness; vigorousness into guiltless-
ness; guiltlessness into abstemiousnesS: alb
stemiousness into cleanliness; cleanliness
into godliness equal to holiness.) ETC., etc.

literally cleanliness next to Tor akin to)
godliness;' and this saying is older than the
gospels"

UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY
LYON declares that there are no trusts in

recent instructions to prosecute under

elimination to detect the difference between
trusts and some Pennsylvania business asso-
Citations There are some organizations very
like trusts, and it behooves the District
Attorney to make close investigation
before making his final decision on the
question. If he finds trust or two, and he
doubtless will if ne looks close enough, the

His Own Cow Ruined HIS Garden and He

Lewiston Journal.l
Perhaps the most disgusted man in Somer-
set county is q Justice of the peace who is
the owner of a fine garden, the PRIDE of his
heart. The other day he was informed that
an unruly COW had wrought desolation in
his Eden and at once ordered the animal
sent to the pound. Then he went up to
view the wreck and after noting the
vacant places where the beets and corn
had been, the trampled down squashes
and cabbages and the demoralized pea vines
and sunflowers, and ascertaining, as he sup
posed, the owner of the cow, he made out a
writ against that individual, containing, SO
the Fairfield Journals informed, IA different
and distinct counts, including trespass, forci-
BILE entry, malicious mischief, nuisance,
riotous and disorderly conduct, and assault
and battery with intent to kill.
1t was then that he learned that the tres
passer was his own COW, and his ire cooled
as he meekly paid field driver for getting
her out Of the pound.
