Stokes'long imprisonmentin the Toombs
and still longer one at Sing Sing. Ger
tainly, no one imagined that "Ed." v
Stokes would ever be man OF note Id
the community, with so very dark
cloud hanging over him. He
served his term at Sing Sing, and soon
after his release he went to Califer-
MIA. Very little was heard Of him
for some time. Only his personal friends
knew how he was employed there. No
one had any thought that, having been
down so low, he would ever rise again.
But the stuff that makes men rise was
in him. After while New Ysrkers
heard that magnificent bar, the most
elaborate aad costly in the city, had
been opened in the Hoffman House, with
Ed Stokes as proprietor, aud they went
ia thousands TO see IL. 1t certainly was
worth seeing, the pictures and statues
alone representing small fortune. The
bar fourished, aud after another while
it became known that the Hoffman
House itself was largely owned by
Stokes. It's business grew rapidly and
Stokes made money fast. lie also made
the acquaintance OF q number OF wall
street men, for his bar became the favor

A Rhode Island soldier, while on
picket guard, was rushed upon by a
party of Confederate cavalry. He fred
81 the foremost OF them an0 ran. Be
fore him was an open field about fifty
rods across, bounded by az old log
fence, and beyond that q thieket Of
brierS aud underbrush. For this bushy
retreat the soldier started, half dozen
horsemeu after him. Fortunately for
the fugitive, the rains had softened the
soil, and the horses slumped through
the turf so badly that pursuit was slow.
A pistol bail passed through the run
ner'S hat, but he reached the fence, and
with one bound landed on the top, in-
tending 20 give a long spring ahead, hut
the old fence crumbled beneath his
weight and down he went.
But luck favored him again, for a hog
had rooted out gutter at this place
and at the moment was lying in it. The
soldier fell plump into the hole, and
the frightened hog uttered one sQueal
and scampered into the underbruSh,
leaving the newcomer in possession o.
the waliow and buried under the debris
of the fence.
A minute more and up dsshet. the
horsemeu. Hearing the rustic OF the
fleeing hog in the bushes. they Supposed
+, 10 be the picket, aud dashed through
the gap in the fence and hsStened on.
When they we're well out Of sight the
fugitive crawled out from the mudhole
and ran back 70 camp.
The following day one OF the same
horsemeu was taken prisoner. Our
hero reCogniZed him az once.
"I say" he asked, did you catch
that hog yesterdays"

THE REPUBLICAN TACTICS.

A certain pious republican in Alpine
is industriously circulating the state
ment that it is the wish of the first
presidency of the Mormon church that
the republican party should prevail
this fall, and he quotes as his authority
a certain bishop who in turn named a
higher church official as his source of
information. No doubt this same
scheme is being worked elsewhere, just
as it has been in every campaign since
the division movement. We know the
republican organ in this city is openly
appealing to democratic Mormons for
assistance to that party. But as our

Parieto.spIancbnic Canpli.

Mr.. Frank Cramer writes in The Pop.
ular Science Monthly to prove that the
logical methods of the old schoolmen
ought to be adopted at least in part IN
the study of biology. We quite agree
with Mr. Cramer. We cheerfully do oul
part herewith in helping him lay before
the public some of the good results OBJ
tanned by applying deduction to biology
Steinach showed by this method that an
introacular reflex involving the retina
has nothing to do with contracting the
pupil in the excised eye of fishes or am
phibia, but that this contraction is quite
independent of the chromatophores. To
be sure!
Our minds are set completely at rest,
however, by the a priori reasoning of
Professor Spengel, who has given to the
world the chief part of its information as
far as it has got on the noses of mollusks.
Professor Spengel knew already that va
rious ciliated organs in mollusks had
never been brought under the yoke Of
homology. He at once prepared through
the logical process of reasoning the big
gest kind of yoke of homology for the
mollusks. By way of explanation Mr..
Cramer tells us that one of the decisive
tests in morphology for the determine.
ton of homology is the mode of minerva
ton of an organ When you want to
get at the morphology of our organs,
therefore, you only have to determine
how they innervate.
Professor Spengel used the common
scientific method till he found out that
various ciliated organs existed in the
prosobranch gastropods, likewise in the
tectibranchs. Then he inferred by the
logical method that they ought also to
occur in the opisthobranchs and the la.
mellibranchs. He was on the high road
to discoveries that are to shake the plan
cts. with one stroke of deduction he
swept away whole brood Of old views, =
says the enthusiastic Mr.. Cramer. He
had found out by his learning that the
olfactory nerve of the lamellibranchs
rises from the ganglia inserted in the
visceral commissure and not from the
pleural ganglia. The thrilling find that
overturned the old system of thought
was obtained by reasoning that the pari-
eto-splanchnic ganglia of lamellibranchs
were thus genuine simon pure visceral
ganglia and not at all the homologues of
the pleural ganglia of gastropods. There
fore the parieto-splanchnic ganglia of la
mellibranchs are morphologically homo
logues with the visceral ganglia of other
m ollusks. See2

The Creates, Nation That Ever Was.

The Greatest Nation That Ever Was.
II is not England or even the United
States or any nation that now is, This
greatest nation exists as yet only in the
brain of some enthusiasts, But, like the
dream of enthusiasts always. it is catch
ing. 1t becomes the dream of more and
more people as time goes on. until there
are those who begin to believe that many
are now living who will see its actual
realization.
1t is plain that the language Of the fu-
ture is to be English. The people who
speak it are all conquering in every part
of the globe. Take them altogether-in
Great Britain itself, in North America,
in Asia, in Africa, in Australia aud the
Pacific islands-they constitute third
of the inhabitants of the civilized world.
They are increasing faster in all these
continents than the people of any other
blood. Divided as they are by seas, by
government and by apparently diverse
interests, they are still the same at heart,
energetic, aggressive, strong and steady
and in the main honest. Say what you
will, on the average they are superior to
any other race.
The dream of the enthusiasts is that
these English speaking nations, bound
together by every tie that constitutes
real kinship, shall form one great fed
Grafton. Whatever their form Of gov
eminent, they should unite not politi-
cally, but in pledge Of unity of SEN
timent and harmonious action. and hold
all the rest of the world in the ways Of
peace and civilization. English speaking
peoples today hold the worlds balance Of
power if they will use it. Awar between
Great Britain and the United States
would really be as monstrous as fight
between parent and child. Whatever
else may come, the true interests Of the
English speaking peoples of the globe lie
along this path.
