The Dispatch received last night the
following communication:
WEST POINT, January 18th.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
On reading your paper of to-day l saw
a letter from the chief of the Pamunkey
Indians. stating that a donation OF $50
had been sent to the Indian reservation
from the Baptist and Methodist churches
| of West Point. This Is a mistake which
| would like to see corrected. as the
donation was not exclusively from these
two denominations. but from all the
churches. and West Point generally. AS
! was an eyewitness 10 the ~gallantry OF
DR.. Roland Lewis In the charge at Gettys-
burg, for which he deserves so much
credit. | think he is now equally as much
entitled to all the praise that can be
given him for his care for the suffering
Indians. Too much cannot be said in
regard to the untiring energy and perse-
vcrencc OF his brother, H.. l.. Lewis. in
doing everything possible for the comfort
ard welfare of these poor sufferers.
Since its last report the Dispatch has
received the following sums. for the

day last Monday. as had been announced.
instead Of Goldsmith's She Stoops to
Conquer" there is no doubt that the
financial results of the Potter-Bellew en-
gagement would nave been vastly more
satisfactory. The account given OF the
former play by this company at the
Academy last night stands out In pleasing
relief against their work last Monday and
Tuesday. The company seemed more en-
rapport with the piece: there was more
earnestness and spirit infused into their
work. and n s~;ricter attention to detail.
Mannerisms were in several cases less
conspicuous, and there was n pleasing
absence OF that dominating note which
is a characteristic feature OF the Potter
Bellew companies. AS n rule Il Is POT

nowhere" Every character was admira-
bly, sustained last night. and Mrs. Potter.

trayal OF the patriotic and hapless Char

In the descending scale of animal life
the relations between the organs are
less and less intimate, and the mis-
leading suddenness of the arrest of the
machinery fades away. The heart Of d
turtle from which the brain has been
removed will continue to beat for days.
A worm OF starfish may be cut to
pieces, and each piece remains alive
sometimes even reproducing the whole.
Who shall name the point of death of
an oyster or of seaanemone? No
stoppage of a single organ causes sud
den and conspicuous change in the
whole. When protoplasmic death of a
part occurs, either the part is slouched
away and replaced or the ripples of
destructive change spread slowly from
cell to cell, each unaffected part re-
manning active to the last In the
simplest animals of all, organisms that
consist each of a single cell, death may
be seen at its lowest terms. There is
no composite multicellular body, no
bodily mechanism to break down, no
possibility of the failure of one set of
cells gradually creeping upon others
Each organism is alive or dead as its
protoplasm is alive or dead
Here, in their simplest forms, are
life and death and here, asking if
death be inherent in.living matter,
we find surprising answer. Violence
of heat and cold, mechanical forces,
the assaults of chemical aflinities may
destroy these single PARTICLES of life:
but it is not overthrow by rude acct
dent, and if provided with food and
drink, their protoplasm lives forever.
Each particle feeds, until, outgrowing
a convenient size, it ceaves asunder
and one life becomes two lives. So far
