spective sympathizers, aud, of course,

During the battle of the Wilder
ness, saws a Western exchange, Henry
F. Lowpenny, a corporal in the 32nd
Indiana volunteers, lost his right arm
at the elbow by the explosion of
shell. His cousin, Bradley Jamison,
ex-State chancellor, of Missouri, now
lives on the scene of the battle, and
last week, when his 15-year-old son
was birds'-nesting, he found a nest
built in skeleton hand in the fork of
a large maple tree. On the hand was
a seal ring, and on taking his strange
find home the ring was at once re-
coguized as his uncle's. The latter is
now dead, but the ring has been sent
to his widow, who lives with mar
ried daughter in Seattle, Washington.
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage prides
himself on his optimism, and evidently
does not sympathize with DR.. Park
hurst's attacks on municipal evils. ~
am tired" he said last Sunday in his
sermon at, the Philadelphia Academy
of Music, ''of hearing the city assailed
for its supposed iniquity and rottenness.
The cities are the haven of practical
helpfulness. There is the Bowery
Mission, with its hundreds of thousands
of saved souls; the hospitals, homes
for restoration of intellects, orphan
houses, midnight missions, prison re-
form associations, houses of mercy,
sheltering arms, infrmaries, aid socie-
ties, industrial schools, sailors snug
harbor, foundling asylums and free
dispensaries. And with all these, show
ing how much good is being done in
the cities, they talk of nothing but their
iniquities. Why not of their good?"
1.-THE canned horse flesh industry"
says the Chicago Tribune, "has evident
ly come to Oregon to stay. 1t is only
about a year since the first horse flesh
was canned and sent to France. 1t was
so much liked that large orders from
that country have been placed in
Oregon, and a syndicate of ofstockraisers
and capitalists has been organized for
exploiting the industry. The Oregon
men figure that they can make a clear
profit Of IS on every carcass after al
lowing SIS for first cost and an addition
al 50 for freight and care. The ranges
of Eastern Washington and Oregon
are expected to furnish 10000 head Of
horses before fall. The Montana In
dependent urges the people OF that
State to 20 into the industry and says
there is money and big money for the
wide-awake Montanian who will take
advantage right now of this opportu-
nifty, buy up some part Of the surplus
horses that are uselessly eating Oft our
ranges, and make Helena the center
of horse flesh packing and shipping
industry"
- Chicago Times-Herald: "During
the next year," said member of Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet recently, "we are
going to witness a remarkable cam
gaign in this country. 1t will be neith-
er sectional nor political. Two eco
nomic ideas are to struggle for the
mastery in the minds of the people.
1t will be campaign of the printing
press. -hiiliouS upOh hili'oHS OA ooOhS
and pamphlets bearing upon the sill
yer question will be circulated. More
over, clubs will be formed for and
against the free coinage of silver in
every State, every county, almost
overy township and school district in
the country. In my opinion, it will
be the most remarkable intellectual
struggle ever seen in the world. 1t
is simply that and nothing more. If
any one imagines it to be an array of
the debtor against the creditor class,
he is very much mistaken. 1t is not
a question of selfishness on the one
side OF the other. You can't stir up
the American people in that way over
a matter of dollars and cents. No;
the great campaign must be regarded
as an evidence of the wonderful intel
lectual activity of our people, of their
desire to study these questions, of
pride of opinion, when once formed,
of the spirit of proselyting in a cause
which chances to enlist ones interest.
No other period could produce such
agitation on such question"
