work of her life.

He enlisted Aug. 20, 1861, at Lafayette, Ind;
was slightly wounded ut the battle of Mill
Springs. and severely at Chickamaugs, Sept.
90. 1863, where he fell the field and was
captured by the enemy. When paroled he was
found unfit for further military service. and
discharged This wound never healed, bat oc-
casiOned constant suffering, no doubt fastening
his death. Since the war Comrade Lingo has
resided in Cincinnati. where he has been aimose
continuously employed in Governmental serv-
ice. The funeral services were conducted under
the auspices of the Masonic frsternities, as

IL. Col Dickinson Woodruff, U. S. A. Col.
Woodruff was born in 1917, in the house in
which he died. He took prominent part In
the Mexican and civil wars. He was grad
nate from Princeton, and Immediately took up
the study of the law. He began practicing in
ST. Louis, where he took prominent part in
municipal affairs. At the breaking out OF tho
Mexican war he returned to New Jersey, and
went to the front as tCoonel OF ono
of the New Jersey regiments of volunteers.
At the close of the war he entered the Regular
Army, with the rank of Captain. The people
at Vancouver Island became very much ex-
cited over the destructive work of a pig, owned
by one FIannery, and during neighborly dis
pnfs some one shot the pig. This brought
about boundary dispute between the United
States and the British Governments, as the
courts of the two Governments claimed jaris-
diction in the case. A Commissioner and Sur.
veying Corps were dispatched to the border BY
each Government and Capt. Woodruff was
commandant of the escort of the United States
Surveying Corps. British troops were also sens
to the scene, and for q time an open rupture
was tn reat ened. The deceased entered the civil
war with tie rank of Captain, and rose to the
rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was present.
at the fall of Richmond, and was Provost-Mar-
shall of that city after the war. During the
war he was stationed at Governors Island.
He was in charge of a number of prisoners
among them being Col. James Wall, OF Bur.
Iin.ton. Col. Woodrufs life was replete viii
interesting experiences. He had the distine
ton OF first introducing Gen. Grant to hie
future wife, Miss Dent, at So. Louis. He was
the last member of an old Now Jsrsey family
which has played . conspisuous laxf u Tie

THE badness Of thee Italian troops, as
demonstrated by the disaster in Abys-
sinia, is being very seriously considered
by the German military authorities. 1t
is generally conceded that if the Italians
made such a poor showing against the
Abyssinians, they cannot be relied on to
do anything effective against such fine
troops as the French-at least, aggres-
sively; and therefore Germany can
hope nothing from them by way of a
rear invasion of France, in the event of
war. 1t will be as much as can be
expected if they succeed in holding their
own country against an invasion Of the
French. If they will do this, they will
prevent the French from penetrating as
far as Austria, and thus leave the Aus
TRANS free to help against the Russians.

HOW DUELING WAS STOPPED IN KENTUCKY.
In the Geatlemen's Magazine, ]. Cuthbert
MADDEN tells this story to how dueIing was
ridiculed out of Kentucky some so years ago ::
At this time travelling preacher named
Bowman-a strong, muscular feilOw-was con-
Quoting some services i'll Kentucky. At one of
his meetings we'll known desperate character
created q disturbance. and being publicly re-
huked by Bowman, sent him u challenge to
fight. Bowman, as tue challenged party. had
the choice of weapons. lie selected Il half
bushel Of Irish potytocs, as big as his fist for each
man, and stipulated that his opponent must
stand Is PAGES distant, and that only po-
tato ut a time should be taken from the meas
ure The desperate was furious at being thus
freshly insulted. and made An indignant pro-
test But Bowman Insisted on his rights AS
the challenged party, aud threatened to de-
nounce the desperate as coward If he did not
come to time. As there was no way out Of the
fix but to fight, the desperate consented. The
encounter took place the outskirts of the
town. Almost everybody was present to see
the fun The seconds arranged the two men
In position, by the side OF each being a half
bushel filled with very large and hard Irish
potatoes. Bowman threw the first iuber. 1t
struck his opponent and few TO pieces. yell
of delight went up from the crowd, which
Hurried the desperate. and his potato went
wide of the mark. Bowman watched his
chance, and every time his opponent stopped
for :. potato another one hit him in the side.
The desperate was struck about five times, and
then the sixth potato took him in the short.
ribs, knocking the wind completely out of
him, aud doubling him up Oh the grass. The
people were almost crazy with laughter, but
bowman locke as sober as If preaching fun

and nut to bed, and there he stayed for more
than week before ne was able to be out.

How little real feeling the Free Silver
leaders have for the wage-earners of the
country is shown by speech Senator
Teller made no longer ago than last
Winter, and which is contained in Sem
ate Document 81. In brief, Mr.. Tel
Ter commends and indorses the argument
that as Japan has really decreased
wages by becoming silver country, the
rivalry of her manufactures is to be
feared, and cannot be met unless our
own manufacturers also reduce wages
by adopting the silver standard. This
shows that the mine-owners are unscrup-
ulously ready to sacrifice the working
men in order to increase their own dlvi-
dends and profits.

SILVER AND PENSIONS.

All comrades know of the struggle we
have maintained for 80 years to get pen
sions to where they are now. Every
step has been bitterly contested. The
men who are now shouting for Free
Silver have been solidly arrayed against
us, and have not only fought against the
rightfulness of pensions as a principle,
but have deluged us with the foulest
calumnies and ISLANDERS.
Are we now to lose the major part Of
all we gained by these long years of
contention and strife, by having every
pension cut in two by being paid in de-
preciated silver? Can we endure such
a calamity at our age, when we need all
that the money will give It's far more
than ever, and when we feel far less able
to make battle for our rights than we
did years ago?
A hundred times, No.

~ rRosr. IN NEW YORK.

As we expected from the speeches
made en- route, Mr. Bryan's great effort
at New York was rank failure. The
New York papers speak of the meeting
rs ga frost" He had exerted his ut
most ability to prepare at home, where
he could be free from distractions, an
address which would vindicate bis intel
lectual capacity, justify the Popoerats
for bestowing Oh him the nomination,
and be the KEYNOTE of the campaign.
1t was dreary fizzle in all these aims.
1t was typewriter essay, tremendously
lons-about 10000 words, or seven col
umns of small type-and merely a re-
hash, without any happiness OF state
ment, of logical force, of well-worn
Populistic statements. 1t contained
nothing new, nothing strong, nothing
particularly well-put. Then, instead OF
being delivered, it was read from the
manuscript.
An immense crowd had gathered to
receive him, many impelled by curiosity
and the expectation of rich intellectual
treat, but the audience thinned rapidly
under the long, monotonous reading.
Even the force of party enthusiasm
and discipline could not keep the ball
respectfully filled toward the end OF the
address
The affair was a severe blow to the
pride and confidence of the Popocrat;;
| in their chosen leader.

four years in the rebel army as Orderly
Sergeant of Go. F, Sd Ark. Cav, and
was candidate for Colonel of the 11th
Ark. (rebeD, but missed election by a
few votes. He was under Forrest most
if not all of the time. The results Of the
war compelled him to live on his own
plantation until 1873, when the Demo
Gratis regained possession Of his State, and
he has been continuously in office ever
since. His experience as working man
is confined to working the Arkansas
Democratic machine, In which he has

GoRMAN's shrewdness was shown in
the advice, which Bryan accepted, to
give up his projected trip to Maine.
Bryan, who is a shallow-brained en-
thusast, actually felt that his going to
Maine might help carry the State, but
Germans cooler brain recognized the
folly of any such an expectation, and
succeeded in convincing Bryan that his
going there in the face of an overwhelm-
ing defeat would give his campaign a
very bad black eye at the outset We
wish German would go home and at
tend to his own business.
