The Mischief of a Name.

There can be scarcely any question but that the
fiippant name of "the Grip" has kept musa de-
served sympathy from those attacked with the cpl
demie while il has also tended to make the sur
ferers much less concerned about themselves than
they otherwise would be- The truth is that this
disease is a most serious one. and many people
have died because of their failure to appreciate the
fact its greatest havoc is made among weak and
aged people For that distressing weak ness which
claracierzes every genuine case of La Grippe,

The Tree Cut Down by Bullets.

tainly mistaken, as not only large tree but
two or three smaller ones in its immediate
vicinity were also cut down in the same man

Confederates our regiment list u. 5. Chasseurs,

chance Of learning the facts in the case. Where
the tree broke was probably IL feet above the
ground, and it was funne-shaped above and
below the point whore it broke in falling, as
were also the smaller trees that had fallen near
it. As our First Division. Sixth Corps charged
over the open field in front of the rebel works
for some distance to our left these works were
concealed from men by low ridge, and
only small portion of their line just in front
of those trees was exposed and drew the fire of
our line for perhaps one. fourth of a mile,
which caused such concentration of fire

ART.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
Comprehensively stated, God creates
all things; but III a restricted sense we
recognize primary creation, as Gods
work, and secondary creation, termed
art, as mans work. As Hugo states:

by nature and destiny an artist, from
the Cave Dweller down TO our present
civilization: and it is possible we are,
yet, not civilized. Genius is the guiding
star in the armament of ideality. The
ideal conception has lis founda-
ton in reality. Esthetic con-
ception and appreciation of color,
tone, form and moral character,
prompt initiative delineation. The
subtle skill, in reproducing color, tone,
aud impersonation. as displayed by ar
tistic genius is often achieved by the
genius of interchangeable effort. The
phenomena of nature provide material
for infinite ideal creation. Nature is
ever prompting expanding desires to at
tempt new creations. Beautiful concep-
tons, innumerable, are lost TO the world
for lack of skill in expression, but are
not lost to the individuals whose mind so
conceives-there remains then an in
effaceable impression. The utility of
esthetic art has never yet had adequate
appreciation.
The love of music is almost universal.

In the face of the appalling loss of life
and enormous destruction Of property
caused in South Carolina by the recent
West Indian cyclone, the people of that
section take remarkably optimistic
view of the situation. A telegram from
Charleston declares that ''the cyclone is
even regarded as blessing in disguise"
This is explained by the statement that
the work ofrebuilding, which was begun
at once. will give employment to thou
sands of workmen; and their earnings,
wien put in circulation, will help to
relieve the currency stringency. The
spirit which turns apparent calamities
into blessing is not often manifested in
such cheering manner as it has been by
the people of South Carolina.

Mr.. Gompers has a remedy for the
trouble that besets the unemployed. He
proposes that the hours of Labor shall be
reduced until there shall be work for
every one that wants to work. This
plan would seem TO be feasible, if the
wages of labor should be reduced in pro-
portion TO the reduction of hours work;
but Mr.. Gompers insists that work shall
be reduced and wages remain unreduced.
Until some way can be found to satisfy
the six-hour laborer with six-hour pay
it is to be feared that Mr.. Gompers'
psnacea will be found yalueless.
