Two Grave. In Death Valley.

As one enters the easterly end Of
the road through Death valley two
unmarked graves are seen in the salt
crust near the track. They are the
graves of unknown men who died
there from the heat, and after the
fashion of the country were buried
where they fell. They were covered
over with pieces of salt broken from
the pinnacle near by. The crust was
too hard to warrant digging into it.
One must travel a long time to find
two more graves like these, IL in
deed two more can be found in the
world. Age of Steel.

LESSONS IN DYING.
Some instances ~ the Heroic and Self Sac
rincinR Deaths Of phssIcisna.

Some fnstsnces OF the Heroic aud self Sac
rincine Deaths of Physicians.
Medical men have the reputation
among the profanum vulgus of being
nervous" about themselves when
they are i'll, and II is no wonder II
they are 80, seeing that they are do
MED the bliss of ignorance as to the
possible developments of apparently
trifling symptoms. Captain Marryatt
tells us that when boy he passed
among his companions for a coward,
not. as he is careful to explain, that
he had less courage than they, but
because ne had more intelligence, and
therefore saw danger where they
saw none Knowledge, in fact, as
well as conscience, does make COW
ards Of us all. But it will be gener-
ally admitted that man who Is
keenly alive to the dangers of bat
tie or pestilence, and yet nerves
himself to face them in the cause Of
humanity, is more truly brave than
one who exposes himself out of mere
recklessness.
In the same way medical man,
who knowing himself to be smitten
with mortal ailment, yet goes on
doing good while strength holds out,
is entitled to all the more honor, as
for him the hope of recovery, which,
springing eternal in the human
breast, buoys other men up to the
very brink of the grave, does not ex-
ist. He knows that he is under SEN
tence of death without the possibility
of reprieve. Many readers no doubt
remember Thackeray's fine and
touching story" about great doctor,
who while ministering to the wants
of crowds of sufferers had suspicion
that there was something wrong
with himself. So DR.. London, as he
calls him, went to Dr. Edinburgh, who
punched his comrades sides and lis.
tened at his heart and lungs, and
when he had done gave prognosis
of only a year of life.
DIR. London came home, made up
his accounts with man and heaven
and went about healing and cheer
ing and soothing and doctoring" as
usual, and living cheerful and ten.
der and calm and loving" among his
family, to whom he said not word
as to his condition. "And it was
winter time, and they came and told
him that some man at distance
very sick, but very rich-wanted him
and though Dr. London knew that he
was himself at deaths door, he went
to the sick man, for he knew the
large fee would be good for his chill
dren after him. And he died, and hi
family never knew until he wa
gone that he had been long aware O.
the inevitable DOOM"
We do not know who the hero o
Thackeray's story-evidently found
ed on fact--may have been; but
mutato nomine, it might be told o
very many members of our profes
sion. Dr. Murchison and DR.. Hiltol

REGULALY OBSERVED.
Sons of the Revolution Celebrate eritish Evacuation with Imposing
 Ceremonies.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 25.-Eyacu- ation day is regularly observed un- der the auspices of the society of the Sons of the Revolution and kindred patriotic organizations. At o'clock this morning salute WIS fired from the old block powder house on the bluff i'll Central Park. Notwithstand- ing that it was not yet daylight and that the weather was chilly there was quite a crowd, including repre- sentatives Of the Old Guard, of the Washington Continental Guard and the Washington Light Infantry.

The salute was then fired and with the singing of America and the Star Spangled Banner the ex- ereises came to a close This after- mood the military organizations marched over the route tfayefsed by the Continental army to the Battery, where the stars and stripes were raised on high pole and a salute was fired. The Old Guard was then joined by over 1000 of the troops from Governors Island and the line of march was taken up to the Broad way corner of City Hall Park Here the statue of Nathan Hale was un- yelled under the auspices of the Sons of the Revolution. Addresses of pre- sentation and acceptance were made by Frederick $. Talmage, Mayor Gil roy, Gen. o. 0.

MOB LAW
Our Thoughts are Our Own.

We do not believe that because a negro is an imitator of the white man that the white man is responsible for his cruel deeds and fiendish actions. We feel that such a thrust at the Caucasian race is an insult to it's dignity and honor, both of which are beyond question. We cannot twink att the Warner lynehing in such a way. We believe that those negroes have taken into their own hands the execution of justice and indirectly said to the Circuit Courts honor, we defy you in any attempt on your part or that of the Prosecut- ing Attorney to punish us for this crime.
 Let no man undertake to excuse the deed because white men have at times been guilty of similar crimes. 1t is claimed that there was once q mob of white men at Warner who forced open the cell doors of the jail and shot a man to death This act was recently taken for an argument that, where a great multitude force themselves ahead of the law to punish crime, that it is so obviously within the line of the public senti- ment of the community that the act can't be punished. and no reason was seen why this should not apply as well to the negro as to any other class or race. Now it appears from the above argument that Judge John NJ. Elliott, who was holding court at Warner at the time this oc- ccurrcnce took place, did not use his utmost power and exertion to bring the perpetrators to trial. We know in fefutati0n of this argument that His Honor did do all ill his power to have these men detected and ar rested. As far as the sentiment of the community is concerned it is known by everybody that the day I lynched was set for the following day. The witnesses had all been summoned and everything was in readiness when the mob interferred and prevented the execution of the law by an honest and upright court. When Judge Elliott went to Warmer last week he told the people in that community that little did he think when he last warned those people against such high-handed disregard of the law that so soon would he be compelled to leave the session of a regular court and come into their midst on such a mission, that of preventing further outrage.
 Now there is no use trying to pull the WOOL over anybody's eyes by undertaking sto lead white men to think that their example brought about the recent lynching on the part of negroes at Warmer, and there is no use trying to critieise the action of an official by general l izing on mob law. We say what we do in a spirit of kindness (and we will add iustice) at the same time in that line of candor that the action justifies. Example had nothing to do with the recent Warner lynching, nor did public sentiment undertake to shield the latter or the former deed of cruelty.
