ed that extracts from his speeches fur
nished large part cf the political lit
erature of the campaign of 1864. But
history will carefully preserve the story
of his struggle with poverty; how his
wife taught him the rudiments Of edu-
cation after his marriage: how he lived
in an humble way, earning his daily
bread by working at the tailor's bench:
how he became alderman of his adopt
ed village, Greenville, Tenn: and later
on was elected State Senator, Governor
and United States Senator: then ap-
pointed military governor of Tennessee
by President Lincoln: and afterward
elected Vice President, succeeding to
the Presidency ON the death of Lincoln,

thousand East Tennesseans. While not
a polished orator, he was logical and
earnest, and impressed me as man Of
great intellectual strength and person

steal proportions, and always appeared
grave and dignified. He did not affect
the suavity of manner, or attempt the
role of 'Hhail fellow, well met" so COM

method Of reaching the popular mind
was deeper than this. In seeking
solution Of the question of his marvel
GUS popularity and success, one cannot
attribute it to that mysterious personal
magnetism which characterized many
public men, notably Clay and Blaine.
He did not possess the faculty of arous-
ing great enthusiasm in his followers.
He was q student of human nature as

of his country, and sought to put him

KEPT ALIVE BY OXYGEN.

KEPT ALIVE BY OXYGEN.
millionaire Reich1ing Paid $2,1OO for
HE Last Weak ON Earth.
Three hundred dollars a day for
breath was what Francis Reichiing,
the millionaire mdne owner, paid for the
last seven days he lived.
1t was by the administration of oxy-
gen gas that Mr., Reichling was given a
brief lease Of life, and while this treat
ment is not absolutely new in theory.
no effort to test it in practice to such an
extent has heretofore been made.
Through the grounds of Mr.. Reich
ling's beautiful home at Piedmont runs
a little mountain stream. While at work
in it's vicinity the millionaire contracted
malaria. Congestion of the brain and
pneumonia followed. and in their wake
came yalvular disease Of the heart
Half of the sick mans lungs became
closed and it was apparent that death
must soon follow from the lack OF
breath.
The dying man begged his physician
to at least keep him alive until his son,
travelling in Mexico, could reach him.
There was but one hope-that of giving
the patient a supply of artificial air by
means of oxygen. This plan was at once
adopted. The doctor procured a tank
containing 100 gallons of oxygen. At
tlched to this was q rubber tube with
a mouthpiece. There We're two stop
0n0kS-nnn a ho of thu frIhp
the other at the point where the tube
joined the tank.
Whenever it became evident that Mr..
Reiohling was suffering from a want
Of breath he was required to inhale gas
from the tank. The oxygen produced
the same effect upon the blood and body
as that resulting from ordinary breath
ing, and immediate relief followed the
Inhalation. The entire contents of the
tank was consumed by the patient the
first night-Saturday. On Sunday he
absorbed 500 gallons. and the effect
was visible on Monday in the mani
fest improvement Of his condition. On
tina vday the patient inhaled 800 gallons
Of oxygen.
It was evident that the trea tment was
greatly reducing the umOnia and re-
lieving the heart trouble. On Tuesday
the amount Of oxygen absorbed was re-
duced to 900 gallons. On Wednesday
400 gallons were, inhaled, and ON
Thursday only 300 gallons were admin
istered. The following day the allow
ance was 200 gallons. On Friday night,
however, there came great change for
the worse. Paralysis, followed by apo
plexy, was added to the other ills from
which the patient suffered. Three hun
dred gallons of oxygen was inhaled on
Saturday, but proved of no avail. The
pneumonia and yalvular heart trouble
had been conquered by the administra-
ton of the oxygen, but Mr.. Reichling's
enfeebled system was unable to with
stand the complications and death
brought freedom from pain on Satur-
day night.
The wish of the patients heart had
been gratified, however, as the son for
whose presence he longed arrived the
Tuesday before his death Mr.. Reich
ling was conscious and recognized the
young man, although unable to speak
to him.
While tank oxygen is frequently used
to restore vitality, medical records show
that it is expensive to keep death at a
distance by a fee of $500 Il day.-San
