tary prestige had suffered in consequence,
gave public opinion a decidedly sharp
tillip.
One evening, while this rumor was
gaining strength, l chanced to be in the
family sitting-room at the White House,
where the President, Mrs. Lincoln, and
several callers were assembled, when an
indiscreet young lady directly attacked
Lincoln with the ex xtraordinary question:
Mr.. President, is Mcclellan going to be
recalled 10 the command of the Army of
the Potomac?" The President good
naturedly parried this home-thrust, but
gave no satisfactory answer. Afterward
Joining in the conversation, intimated
to the President that as he had not settled
the matter. there probably might be some
ground for the general suspicion that
Mcclellan would be recalled. Lincoln,
who sat near me, put on very severe
look, and turning, said in an undertone,

Noises That Help Deafness,

ST have noticed that deafness is on the
increase" said physician recently. "It
is a deafness of peculiar sort, too. For
instance, | know number of people
who are very deaf when addressed in a
quiet place, and yet if surrounded by
various loud noises they can hear with
out any trouble. Engineers tell me when
off their engines it is impossible for them
10 hear ordinary conversation, but
as they get back on their en-
gines they can. hear the ightest
sounds. This strikes me as being strange,
yet it is a fact. The telephone has
been recommended by certain medical
authorities as cure for deafness of some
sort, the causes of which are quite ordi-
nary. When there is hardening pro-
cess of the membranes OF the ear, the
gurgitating noise of the telephone when
put to the ear stimulates and promotes
circulation so that it is beneficial."-

LINCOLN AND MCCLELLAN
The Latter Kept In Command Because

Just before the battle of Chancellors-

its headquarters being then at Falmouth
in President Lincoln's company. We were
detained en- route by storm, and spent
one night on beard the steamer anchored
in the Potomac. In the course Of conyer-
sation that evening the President was
communicative and III confidential
mood, and discussed the military situa-
ton with much freedom. Speaking of
Mcclellan, he said: 81 kept Mcclellan
in command after L had expected that he
would win victories, simply because [
knew that his dismissal would provoke
popular Indignation and shake the faith
of the people in the final success of tue

Chancellorsville, and before the battle O
Gettysburg was fought, the old rumor O
