THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG.
Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holmes
 and William Cullen Bryant.

Oliver Wendell Holmes received the degree of doctor of medicine ill 1896, being then 27 years old, and in that year he also published his first volume of poems Nothing of Dr. Holmes has been more popular than "Thc Last Leaf" contained in this early cOllcc- tion, and mono has more richly deserved to please by it's rhythmic beauty and by its exquisite blending of humnr and pathos SD sympathetically intertwined that Wo feel the lonely sadness of the old man even while we arc smiling at tho quaintnrss so feelingly portrayed.
 Dr. Holmes was liko Bryant, who composed "Thanatopsis" and tho "Lines to a Waterfowl long before he was 20, in that he early attained full development as a poet. Although each of them wrote many verses i'll later life, nothing of theirs excelled these poems of their youth. In their maturity they did not lose power, but neither did they deepen nor bruadrn, and "Thanatopsis' on the one side and The Last Leaf" on the other are as strong and characterls- tic as anything either poet was ever to write throuShuut d long life. What Bry- ant was, what Holmes was, i'll this, his first volume of poems, each was to the end of his career.
 To neither of them was literature q livelihod Bryant was first a lawyer and then journalist. Holmes was first practicing physician and then a teacher of medicine. He won three prizes for dissertations upon medical themes, and these essays were published together in 1888. In 1889 he was ap- pointed professor of anatomy and phys iology at Dartmouth, and the next year he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson Shortly afterward he resigned the posi- tion at Dartmouth and resumed practice in Boston. He worked hard ill his pro fession and contributed freely to its lit erature, and in 1S47 he went back to Harvard, having been appointed pro lessor of anatomy and physiology, a position which he was to hold with great distinction for 35 years.

Sunshine and Disease.

It is rather surprising to be told that sunshine is not always a promoter of health, and that London fog may be a blessing in disguise Ill experiments by De Renzi guinea pigs inoculated with tuberculosis died after 24 to S9 days when kept in glass boxes ill the sun shine, but survived only 20 to Al days ill opaque wooden boxes. This makes it evident that sunshine is material aid ill combating consumption. In a later investigation by Dr. Masella, however, guinea pigs were inoculated with chol- era and typhoid bacili respectively, when it was found that previous expos ure to sunshine increased the suscepti- bility to both diseases, while exposure to sunshine after infection so accelerat- ed the progress of the malady that death occurred in to hours instead of 15 to 24 hours. That this was not due to in crease of temperature was proved by cooling the boxes in sunshine by circu- lation of water, r,-LOndon Letter,

The Peculiarities of Genius as Illustrated by the Favorite Discourse of Elder Rum Iey-Story of a Man Who Looked Upon Soda Water For the First Time.

 AT NOME, SUMMER OF '95.
 It is not generally known that in this immediate neighborhood the first steps were taken in the direction of abdomi- nal surgery, branch of the science which has since grown so great. It was not so many years ago in these moun- tains that a party of young men on an autumn evening started gayly off with their musical instruments to serenade the youth and beauty of Buncombe county.
 Chestnuts and green apples wero fail ing anon in the chaste moonlight, and here and there little private jag foun- dries sent up their thin blue coils of smoke to mock the internal revenue off cer and bring the flush of shame to the nose of the pioneer.

Domestic Architecture In Chicago.

The inhabitants of Chicago are the least curious and observing people in the world. According to their own news papers, they permitted one H. H Holmes to construct in their city a house so ex traordinary, so full of hidden doors and secret passages and acid proof vats that it would have attracted thousands of curious visitors had it been built any where else. But the guileless Chicago ans suspect nothing. Neither the man who issued the building permit nor the men who did the building saw anything unusual about the house. What is the matter? Is all Chicago blind, or are acid proof vats and secret passages part and parcel of the ordinary Chicago dwelling? Perhaps there is an interest ing chapter to be written about domestic architecture in Chicago = Milwaukee Sentinel zse- .=A

 government will expend $2O, 900 in see- ing to it that its officials are properly represented. The bill appropriating this sum was prepared by General Wheeler of Alabama, who commanded Confed- crate battery at Chickamauga. It was presented by General GroSvenor of Ohio, who was on the field on the Federal side.
 The only private monument as yet provided for is now being built at Hart ford to commemorate the bravery of George w. Landrum, lieutenant of the Second Ohio. It will be erected by the sister of the deceased, Mrs. Obed J. Wilson of Cincinnati.
 Tho handsomest monument is the memorial on Snodgrass hill to the Sec ond regiment of Minnesota. The most striking feature of this monument is 8 group of three figures ill bronze of rath- CT more than life size, representing the color guard i'll action. The central fig ure, standing, represents the standard bearer himself. At one side there is a kneeling figure with hand pressing a wounded breast. On the other side there is figure stepping with gun ill posi- tion for defending the flag.
 The coming reunion will furnish oc- casion for the recital of many reminis- cences of wartime days, and these rem iniscences will, no doubt, include hu- morous as well as tragic incidents, for the ridiculous often follows closely up on the heroic Here is one oft told story that will probably be repeated with many variations. It was at Chickamau- ga that western and eastern soldiers first fought together in the army of the Con- federacy, and men from each section had before this believed themselves su- perior to men from the other section. On the second day of the fight Long street s men went into battle. As they did so they passed lot of the Tennessee troops who G'ere waiting for orders.

 Sept. l9; Brigadier General Benjamin H. Helm, C. S. A, of Brockinridge's division, mortally wounded Sept. 20, Brigadier General James Deshler of Cloburne's division, killed Sept. 20; Brigudicr General Preston Smith of Cheatham's division, killed Sept. 20, and General Pcytun H. Colquitt of the Forty sixth Georgia, mortally wounded Sept. 20. For the regular troops nine monuments have been set up by the general government, while each state is expected to contribute monuments to its own troops. Ohio has so far done more in this direction than any other state. It will thus be seen that this magnifi- cent park will be amply furnished with memorial objects. Not only is it the most extensive military memorial and object lesson ill the world, but, every thing considered, the engagements it commentaries were among the most important of the entire struggles be- tween the north and the south. They include the battle of Chickamauga, one of the bloodiest of modern times, which took place on Sept. 19, 20 and 21, 1863, just 32 years before the time set for the coming celebration the scarcely less sanguinary engagement of Mission ary Ridge and the subsequent battles at Lookout Mountain, Orchard Knob, Browns Ferry and Wauhatchie
 The battle of Chickamauga was a Confederate victory, but the engage ment of Missionary Ridge, which closed the series of fights i'll the immediate vii | cinity Of Chattanooga, caused the cam- paign as whole to result in Federal 1 triumphsI This occurred on Nov. %, q little more than two months after the battle of Chickamauga, and was a much more sweeping victory, owing to the uncomfortable zeal of the Federal troops, than their commanders had thought pos. sible.
