Phil sHERlpAN.s APOLOGY.
The Amende Honorable to the Captain
of His Escort,

The Amende Honorable TO the Captain
of His Escort,
On this particular morning of which
] write, for some good reason the hour
appointed to move was earlier than
usual Four o'clock found the head-
quarter tents struck and the general
and staff mounted, ready to move out
but no escort A moment or two
later and, amid the blare of bugles and
roll Of drums, the troops started and
the road was filed with the marching
army. Still no escort
Turning impatienuy to his chief Of
staff, Col J. W. Forsythe, the general,
said:
What does this mean? Where is
the escort? Was the commanding OIL
Ger noti6ed?"
Certainly" was the reply
''Send an aid and find out the
trouble
An officer dashed Off to where the es-
cort was encamped on a little stream
few hundred yards away, and returned,
saying that the escort was saddling in
haste and would be there in few mo-
ments. Shortly after the squadron
dashed up at a gallop, and fronting
into line almost on a run, Capt. Claffiin
saluted, and turning to the chief of

AN ARTFUL DCDGsR.
The Looms Immed:ateness in Getting

The Looms Immed;Rteness in Getting
Under Cover.
Every treatise upon looms dwells adj
miringiv upon their wonderful pow
ers Of self-protection. says q writer in
the Boston Transcript There is no de-
nying that all looms over hatched ub
todate have been 'artful dodgers in SUI
perlative degree. The question is often
raised whether they are quick enough
to dodge a bullet once had a guide
who drew a distinction quite too fine,
as / thought He claimed that "a loon
could see the fash ofa percussion cap
at the breech of a muzzle-loadinr
piece and could dodge, but admitted
that with the rifle loaded like all mod
ern ones, at the breecb, no loon could
escape a shot rightly aimed For
my part, l do not believe the inter
val of time between the fire a. the two
ends of the barrel to be measurable bv
eyes of birds or men. or anything short
of chronograph. As to the question,
however, it is possible to reason with
tolerable confidence We know the
speed of rifle bullet. Call it
fourteen hundred feet a second.
Imagine your loon at that distance, or
nearer. Then reflect how slowly
birds head must move to use up more
than second in dropping few inches
under water. Gravity alone would
carry it further than that 1t is easy
to believe that if the wary bird hap
pens to be looking toward the hunter,
the rifle flash suggests danger. A half
second would give ample time to
dodge, provided the action begin
promptly. 1t is safe to say that it
takes a looms weight in lead to kill
him, and we may call it settled that if
loon does not dodge bullet, at least
the lead goes down in the same hole in
the water

I That there is most urgent need Of a
Sunday-School Missionary in Grant
county, cannot be doubted, when it is
shown that seyenty-ive per cent. Of its
Protestant children are receiving no
regular religious instruction. That
we have no adequate agency for reach
inc this restitution needs no proof, for
the Sunday School cause in the county
has for years been steadily losing
ground, The pastors cannot do the
work, as a majority Of them already
have three appointments each Sunday.
1t is physical impossibility for them
to reach these communities, without
giving up other important work. The
lay members cannot do it, for it often
takes days of house-to-house visitation
to work up Sunday-School, and after
wards keep it running. These COM
munities too, need and should have
revival services, and if some one can
give them these, the results in CONVEX
sions are often remarkable: The need,
and the inability of existing agencies
to meet it, is not peculiar to Grant
county. In no county in any state,
has it been found that the preachers.or
the mbership could in any adequate
or satisfactory manner do this work.
Always and everywhere, the result has
been the same woeful failure. The
plan proposed for Grant county has
been tried in about fifty counties in
different states, for the last fifteen
years. Incvery case it has been found
to do the work. In no case whore a
good man has been put in the field, has
it failed The American Sunday
school Union has kept a man in Grant
county eight months, without expense
to the people Of the county. lie has
organized twenty-three new sunday
Schools, most Of which have proven 3
great blessing to the communities
where planted. The need Of the work
and its value have been demonstrated.
The society must now withdraw from
the field. unless the Christian people
Of the county come to its support.
Whether the good already done is to be-
largely lost. and the work settle back
where it was, or whether the work be
pushed forward to complete success,
rests with the churches and sunday
Schools. The Society is ready to COM
mission a good man, who has beer
tried and proven successful, as soon as
the funds are pledged for his support,
but it cannot do so before. The re-
sponsibility is with the Christian peo-
pie Of Grant county Ten cents per
member from all our Sunday-Schools,

DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBlA.
No Doubt About the Nature of the Dis.
eose- Hurrib1e Suffering.

JACKSONVILLE. FLA. November q.
a special to the Times-Union from
Gainesville. Fla. says: Mary Anderson
died here to-day Of hydrophobia. The
woman suffered untold agony. The sight.
or even the suggestion of water, threw
her into spasms. The disease was con-
tracted from the bite of cat, which,
on the 9th of July. inflicted n wound
on the woman's hand. The animal was
very ferocious. and fastened its teeth In
the woman's hand so fiercely that Its
Jaws had to be forced open in order
to release her. DR.. Lancaster attended
the woman. and dressed her wound, and
thought the wound was entirely cured.
on Sunday night the woman began
to experience a feeling of numbness OF
the muscles. She was depressed and
peevish. Her skin was hot. and her
pulse extremely rapid. She grew worse
rapidly, and yesterday spasms set In.
She has been unable to eat anything
whatever, and for a time she attempted
TO drink water, but it was forced back
before II entered her throat.
There is no doubt as 10 the nature or
the disease. as the doctors OF this city
have made It the subject of much study
during the past few months, and agree
that this was hydrophobia.
