Probably the people have long since de-
SPARED of ascertaining the exact facts in
regard to the.health of any prominent
public man after the rumor has gone
abroad that he is i'll. 1t is difficult to
see why people should array themselves
on opposite sides of such a question, but
experience has shown that they do, and
the result is that we get exaggerations
from both sides, one contending that the
mans health was never better and that
all stories to the.contrary are pure inven-
lions, while the other claims that the
person inssquestion is sick with some or
ganic disease which threatens his life.
For weeks.past rumors have been flying
about in regard to the Presidents health,
but how much of truth Cor how little
there is in them it is. practically impossi-
BILE to determine, yet the mere fact that
they are in circulation gives reason for
uneasiness. 1t would undoubtedly be a
great misfortune to the country to lose
President Cleveland at this juncture
In many ways he is good deal better
than his party, and he has more infu-
ence over it than any man has had since
Jackson's time, and as far ssas financial
questions are concerned hissinfuence is
in the right direction.

THE UNITED: STATES MARINE.
Useful in Time of Peace. He is Doubly So
In War Times.

1t was the lack..of military qualities
in the sailor that led to the formation,
in the first days of the navy, of the
United States Marine Corps. The pass
ing of hundred..years has not changed
the character of Jack Tar. While formi-
dablessin impetuous assaults with cutlass-
es or sabres, he has not the steadiness
and discipline necessary. in sustained con-
aicts and. in the.effective use of the rifle
and so with the recent growth of the
navy the marines have come to consti-
tute one of its most important branches.
The corps is maintained by an annual
appropriation from Congress. This ap-
preparation last year was $50, 10000, which
covers the wages, clothing and living ex-
penses of..the 2, 500 men who compose the
body. The marines are useful in times
of peace for police duty in the navy yards
and no shipboard, but it is when the
country,,is engaged in war that they are
expected to justify their existence i'll
Uncle Sans navy. They are sea sol
diers. If the. time comes when the white
battle SHIPS of the United States will en-
gage with the men-of-war of a hostile
power it will be thesduty of the marines
to man the rapid-fring Calling guns, fill
the vacancies at the other guns, scour
the enemy's decks from the tops, the
poop, and. forecastle with their rifles,
cover boarding parties with their fire,
and repel boarders with fixed bayonets
Should the enemy gain foothold they
must gather at the mainmast, so as to
command the deck. They must make
enemy's men, while the great guns, with
which the marines have nothing to do,
except in case of emergency, play havoc
with his ship. But all naval fighting is
not done on the decks of men-of- war.
The surprise of camps OF posts, and the
escalade of forts, render shore operations
necessary. Picked men are sent with
the attacking sailors, known as pioneers,
and the rest of the marines form sup
porting column to cover the retreat and
embarkation Of the sailors in case the
undertaking fails
Every maynard in the United States
has it's detachments of. marines. The
barracks in the Brooklyn yard, however
are the most popular, and as the marines
have their choice5of stations when they
return from cruise, the largest number
are ouartered here. The full complement
of men is 300. The thing which first at
tracts the attention of the visitor enter
ing the the part of the yard set aside for
the marines is a very long and narrow
building of gray brick, with piazza run
ming the whole length in front, shaded by
a line of trees This is the barracks, the
living quarters of the men in neat uni
forms who pace slowly to and. from

AN UNNECESSARY DISPUTE.

The assertion of Colonel Ingersoll in
his address on the character of Abraham
Lincoln, to the effect that he was free
thinker after the manner of Voltaire
and Paine, challenged emphatic contra
diction which was no more conclusive
than the Ingersoll declaration. Fortu-
nately. so much has been written and is
known about the personality of Mr..
Lincoln that there need be no contro-
versy in regard to his religious feelings,
Those who have higher appreciation of
that great man than to claim him as an
infidel. as has Ingersoll, or believer in
certain creeds, as has General Calls, of
New York, have examined his recorded
acts and words. They have found that
Mr.. Lincoln was not what is or has been
called a protesting Christian in the
sense that a declaration of belief in
certain tenets is essential. Like many
men, in their early years. Mr.. Lincoln
expressed dissent to prevailing creeds,
but no irreverent word can be traced
to him or any expression indicating that
he did net believe in and accept the
fundamental principles of Christianity.
In 1851, writing to his half brother re-
garding the approaching death of his
father Mr.. Lincoln said:
Isincerely hope father may yet recover
his health; but. at all events. tell him to
remem Der TO call upon and confide in our
great. and good aud merciful Maker, who
will not turn away from him in any ex-
tremity. He notes the fall Of q sparrow,
and numbers the hairs of our heads. and he
will not forget the dying man who puts his
trust in Him. Say to him that il IL be his
lot 10 90 now he will soon have a joyful
meeting with many loved ones gone before.
and where the rest Of rs. through the help
of God. hope ere long TO join them.
So sincere man as was Abraham
Lincoln would not have expressed so
