The late Senator Plumb" said
Senator Il. T. Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, to n reporter of the \. Y.
Press, "was one Of the strongest men
in the senate. | knew him intimately.
If he had lived few years longer the
whole country would have been forced
TO recognize his mental caliber He
had the constitution Of an OK, but he
burned the candle at both ends. | re-
mem bef he told me one day that he
had been over to Philadelphia to con-
suit an eminent physician. The doc

The late James L. Osgood, the
famous publisher, was of like disposi-
ton. No man was more popular. Few
men had rarer talents. He consulted
a doctor one day about his health,
which was giving him uneasiness, al.
though Mr.. Osgood was little over 40
The doctor said. after asking few
pointed questions: You must give
up big dinners, smoke not more thar

or two afterward the warden of the old
capitol prison was directed to give the
dispatch bearer an opportunity of es-
Gaping with proper show of attempt
ed prevention. One afternoon he
walked into my Office. 'Ahw said I.
you have run awayr Yes Sir" he
answered. Did they shoot at you"
They did, and didn't hit me; but I
didn't think that would answer the
purpose, SO [ shot myself through the
arm" He showed me the wound; it
was through the feshy part of the
forearm, and due care had been taken
not to break any bones. A more de
hberate and less dangerous wound
could not be, and yet it did not look
trivial.
He was ordered to get away for Can
ada as promptly as possible so that he
might explain the loss Of his dispatch
before it should become known there
by any other means. An advertise
ment offering two thousand dollars for
his recapture was at once inserted in
the New York Herald, the Pittsburg
Journal and the Chicago Tribune
No one ever appeared to claim the re
ward; but III about a week the escaped
prisoner returned from Canada with
new dispatches that had been intrust-
ed to him. They contained nothing
Of Importance however. The wound
in his arm had borne testimony in
his favor. and the fact that he
had hurried through to st. Gather
ines without having it dressed was
thought to afford conclusive evidence
OF his fidelity to the Confederate cause.
The war was ended soon after this
adventure and as his services had
been Of great value, a new place, with
the assurance Of lasting employment
was found for the young man in one
of the bureaus of the War Depart
ment. He did not remain there very
long, however, and | do not know
what has become OF him. He was one
Of the cleverest creatures | ever saw.
His style Of patriotic lying was sub
lime; it amounted to genius.

THE CHISHOLM TRAIL.
Bleaching Skulls Mark the Most Famous
of Old Cattle Roads

of Old Cattle Roads
The most famous of the old cattle
roads was the "Chisholm Trail" 1t
was named after John Chisholm, an
eccentric frontier stOckman, who was
the first TO drive over it. Chisholm
lived at Paris, Texas, was a bachelor,
and had many thousand head of cattle
on the ranges in the southern part Of
the State.
From 200 to 400 yards wide, beaten
into bare earth, it reached over hill
and through valley for over GOO miles
Gncluding its southern eXtensiOn), a
chocolate band amid the green prairies
uniting the north and the south. AS
the marching hoOfs wore it down and
the wind blew and the waters washed
the earth away, it became lower thar
the surrounding country and was
tianked by little banks of sand, drlfteA
there by the wind. Bleaching skulls
and skeletons of weary brutes who had
perished on the Journey cleaned along
its borders, and here and there was Il
low mound showing where some cow
boy had literally died with his boots
on" Occasionally diiapidated wagon
frame lOlu OF the DIedh-uOWH, anu
spotting the emerald reaches on either
side were the barren circle-like "bed
ding grounds" each record that a
great herd had there spent night.
The weight of an empire passed over
the trail, leaving its mark for decades
to come. The traveller of to-day sees
the wide trough-like course, with
ridges being washed down by the rains
and with fences and farms Of the set
tiers and the more civilized red men
intercepting its track, and forgets the
wild and arduous life Of which it was
the exponent. 1t was 4 life now out
grown, and which will never again be
possible = ScribRcr'S Magazine.

WHAT MANS BODY IS COMPOSED OF,
Liebig Says 1t Is Formed of Condemned
Air and Liquid Gases

| In the st. Louis Republic of Dec. s.
! 1870, was gwen Prof Huxley's table of
! the chemical composition of man-in
other words, table exhibiting the
4 number of pounds, ounces, and grains
| OF the different elements in the make
! up of the average man. The table
shows thirteen elements in the chem
lcal composition of human being
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen.
| phosphorus, calcium, sulphur, chlorine.
salt, iron, potassium, magnesium, and
silica. The weight of these several
gases and solids varies with the size of
the man. In the man of the average
| of l5i pounds there will be III pounds
OF oxygen. the other elements Scaling
down to only two grains, the last in the
table being silica
The following, which will make an
excellent companion piece to the
article reviewed above, is from the pen
of Justus Liebig, the greatest chemist
OF the century: Science has demon
strated the fact that man, the being
which performs the greatest wonders,
is formed of condensed air solidified
and liquid gases, that he lives upon
densed air, and that by means of the
same mysterious agent he moves or
causes TO be moved the heaviest
weights with the velocity of the wind.
But the strangest part of the matter
IS that thousands and millions of these
tabernacles of condensed air are going
on two legs, destroying other forms Of
condensed air which they may need
to build up their own wasted tissues or
for shelter or clothing, or. on account
Of their egotism and fancied power, de-
stroying each other in pitched battles.
using implements which are but an
other form of condensed air, the
material of which they themselves are
formed or composed. Chemistry sup
plies the clearest proof that, so far as
concerns this, the ultimate and most
minute composition and. structure.
some of which are SO infnitesimal as
10 be beyond the comprehension of
our senses, man is, to all appearances,
ut least, composed of materials identi-
lied with those which compose the
structural being OF the OK or the doc.
or even the lowest animal in the scale
of creation.
Solomon seems to have entertained
the same idea. See Ecclesiastcs ill.,,
10: For that which bcfalleth the
sons of men befalIelh beasts; rs the
one dicth so dieth the other; YES, they
have all one breath. 50 that Il man
hath no pre-emincnGe above a beast"

Why Putnam County Is Small.

In examining the map of the state
of Illinois the question is often asked
how it happened that Putnam county
was founded so small. This is the rea-
son given by the Firden Record: A
embraced all the territory now in sew
eral of the adjoining counties, and had
member of the legislature. When
ever the citizens of portion of this
district would object to any of his ac-
tions the representative would intro
duce a bill making another county of
that particular territory. This plan
he followed for several years, until all
that was left of the original county of
Putnam was four townships, and this
he continued to represent until he
died.
