PRESIDENT Cleveland went south to
hunt docks last winter and when he
came home he opened vOlley or Great
Britain that startled the world. Now
he has again gone south and when he
returnes if he will open upon Spain in
the same way he can redeem a small
fraction of the respect of the people.
If he would stay in the swamps of the
south all the while he might learn wi5-
dom and become respectable.

Of July until the afternoon Of the 4th, We
had nothing to eat but what scraps Of food
We could pick up by foraging during lnlls
in tho battle; and what water We had to
drink came from q we'll which was con-
stantly dipped dry, and was in so much de-
mand that it was necessary to wait several
hours before we could fill our caDteeEs.
The strain on our nerves when we lett
our regiment on that skirmish may well De
imagined. We were half starved, thirsty,
and very nervous from the constant strain OF
three days of firing and three nights of alarm,
and then to start out on what seemed to be
q mission the result of which could hardly
be anything but death, it is no wonder we
proceeded with the greatest caution. Ihere
was not a man in the party who would not
have volunteered to 60 out, but those went
who were chosen, and all arrived safely with
the news that the battle, which was the
turning point in the civil war, had been won
by the Northern army.
"Of that squad of ~ who went out to Get
tysburg on the morning of July a, 1868, there
are now hut three lett alive. These are Lieut..
Milton II. Daniels, of Co. c, who at that time
hailed from Danbury, but who is now from
indianapolis; myself, Serg't Patrick Wade
of Bridgeport, q member of Co. X, and Prl-
vate John II. Grannis, of SaybrOok. 10 the
comrades of the 18th is due the credit that
it was q squad of IL of her men who sent
hack to the waiting army the news that the
battle was over. 1t was news which the
Union Generals and army waited for; 1t was
news which the President and his officers at
Washington waited for; it was news which
every family in the land prayed for; and the
18th was the first to bring it."-VETERAN

brigade charged the enemy at what was
called Boyden Plank Road, driving them
from their works. The next day we again

record from the War Department correctly,
why are these battles omitted; or how many
men would we have TO lose TO be considered
participants? II seems to me if We were
there we should be credited. Also, forgot

we lost two men.-GROyE DULLEN, Go. ID

it was only by superior numbers. The loss

Romance of the Telegraph.

A great deal of romance hovers round
the means by which the worlds news
is gathered. The speed and accuracy
with which messages are transmitted
between the uttermost parts of the
earth is marvellous when the conditions
under which they are sometimes trans
mitted are considered The ndo-Eu-
ropean line offers good illustration.
1t runs from London to Lowestoft on
the east coast of England. 1t then dips
under the sea to Emden, on the Ger
man coast, where 1t passes right
through Germany to the Russian from
tier. From this point the wire passes
by way of Warsaw, Rowno, Odesse,
the Caucasus and Tiflls, to Persia, and
by Tauris to Teheran, the capital of the
shah's dominions. There 1t joins the
Indian government line, which runs
from the Persian capital to Bushire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run

In Australia they are exploiting n
whale cure for rheumatism, which is
said to be effective, though Disagree
able. 1t was discovered by drunken
man, relates the New York Press, who
was staggering along the beach near
the whaling station Mt Twofold Bay,
aud who, seeing dead whale cut open,
took header into the decomposing
blubber. 1t took two hours for HIM
to work his way out, and he was then
not only sober, but cured of his rheu-
matism. Now, they say, hotel has
been built in the neighboring town of
Eden, where rheumatic patients wait
for the arrival of O whale in order to
take blubber baths.

New cnres for consumption continue

None has SO far proved a specific cure,
invariably successful or exclusively

the worst enemy of mans health in
this day, and it is probably incrcas-
ing. 1t is these seriogs considera-
tions that arc urging Uoientists to
study more closely the pathology of
the lungs. Nature abhors unhealth

route by connecting Kurrachee, north
India. The operation of this immense
stretch of line, passing through coun-
tries of such varying climates and char
acteristics, is one of much difficulty.
On the snow-swept steppes of Russia
the wires are often snapped like thread
by the rapid flight of nocks of wild
geese. The poles are cut down and
made into firewood by the nomad tribes
of the Caucasian districts, and the cum
ming innkeepers of Georgia seek to
boom their post-horse trade by delib-
erately creating faults in the wires. In
the mountainous regions of Asia the

often cut off by n snowfall of five or six

Discovered Plgmies in Africa.

Donaldson Smith, the young ply
sician who has been on an expedition
to Lake Rudolph, Africa, arrived in
New York from London on board the
American line steamer st. Louis yes
terday afternoon, and last evening
reached his home in this city, says
the Philadelphia Times.
Perhaps of the greatest popular in.
terest is his discovery of many new
tribes whose existence was previously
unknown. Among these is rnce OF
pigmies, the fact OF whose discovery
has caused commotion in scientific
circles. These curious people are of
African type. Although of great ply
sical beauty, with well-formed limbs,
they are barely removed from animals.
Late In life, they settle down aud
marry. These remarkable people are
all between four aud five feet high and
live in primitive conical huts.
Their only industry is corn raising
and the rearing of sheep and goats.
They arc born hunters. In warfare
they use poisoned arrows, the wounds
inflicted by which provo fatal within
