one of the 6ercest charges of the war

said it was the happiest hour of his life.
The fight had gone his way, yet he was

The writer took trip into the un-

the saying is, but still not wholly in

of getting even. The bullet fired at me

showed more nerve in the matter than
the subject Of the tragedy, or perhaps he
was spellbound and not SO cool after all.
During the charges of the Ninth corps
upon Lees new works, June II, SER
geant Of the Fifty seventh Massachu
leaped upon the works to stimulate his
men. It was the third charge at that
point, two having been repulsed. In such
moments soldiers savagery comes to
the fore, if he haveany and it may have

target upon the head log, with his cap
in his left hand and his musket in his
right, waving both and cheering, to in
cite the men beyond to come on. The
head Of the brave fellow was taken off
by a shell, but the tall form kept it's po-
sltlon, the arms gesturing as before, and
the decline of power was noticeable. At
last the body collapsed and fell back

The nerve persistence Of Captain No
Ian and the Massachusetts sergeant was
extreme as compared to that of the
wounded prisoner or the Irish boy fight
ing with bullet in the groin. But there
seems to be condition where the will
is not destroyed by the wound and re-
mains active and responsible A battle
frenzy akin to that Of savage warriors
may seize upon civilized soldiers. The
nerve displayed by Gushing when he
stood in the bow of his launch directing
the torpedo and guiding the movements

kind by itself. But had Cushing board
ed the Albemarle cutlass in hand, as he
originally intended, and found his party
surrounded by the crew Of the ram, he
would have laid about him like mad
man until he conquered or was cut
down. u
In soldiers who fight on when they
are more than half killed there is a
counter sensation at work, stimulating
the purely physical nerve to keep up its
first bent Instead of ignoring the
wounds they either don't know Of them
or don't realize their awful nature.
Then indeed ignorance is bliss, and a
smarting but harmless wound is a god

hurt. - .5>
That preoccupation which takes the
mind from the sad truth is often of the
sanest and most valuable to the soldier.
When Farnsworth fell at the head of the
charging squadrons at Gettysburg, he
died with his face and his sword like
wise set toward the foe. There were
five wounds upon his person, either of
which would have killed him. It was
death that stopped his fighting. not the
wounds Of themselves. s--- -.

CanntbaIs on the American Coast.
In the gulf Of California, of the Mex
lean state Of Sonora, is the island sc
Tiburon, as large as Martha g Vineyard.
The peculiarly Of this spot is that it is
inhabited by tribe of cannibalistic
aborigines as fierce and wild as the
south sea islanders in the old time be-
fore they were forced to behave them
selves. Tiburon belongs Cstensibly to
Mexico, and to the state Of Sonora, but
neither has the slightest control over it.
On the contrary, the Mburones have CON
troll over the state Of Sonora, to the ex-
tent Of terrorizing its adjacent coast.
The Tiburones are almost as much at
home in the water as Oh land, and they
can run down and catch by sheer wind
and feetness of foot both the jack rabbit
and the deer. These are their only viz
tues. They are as low down in the scale Of
humanity as a gorilla, lower than that,
in fact, for they eat raw flesh and car
rion, which the gorilla will not do.
They are as treacherous as the fox and
as fierce as the wolf.
Last year they lured into their fast
nesses two American newspaper cor
respondents, and then killed and ate
them. That is the point which makes
these wretches Of particular interest to
the United States. A writer in the ST,
Louis Globe Democrat mentions that
the two correspondents were sent to I'll
huron by San Francisco paper to ex-
plore and describe the island. They new
er returned, and their horrible fate was
afterward ascertained
This is certainly a matter for the
United States government to look into.
If American citizens are to be killed
and eaten by handful of wretched saw
ages within few hundred miles Of our
own coast, then their fellow citizens want
to know the reason why. The United
States should ask permission Of Mexico
to send force of soldiers to Tiburon
and whip these exeerable barbarians till
they are convinced they cannot kill and
eat white men with impunity. Plenty
Of volunteers can be found for the little
task.

The law under which New Jersey is
gradually getting the best roads of any
state in the Union appropriates 500, 900
year from state funds to be distribut-
ed among the counties that will take up
the building of stone roads. The county
and it's citizens must defray two-t thirds
Of the cost. They get from the state a
sum equal to one-third Of what they pay
out. 1t is an admirable law. The law
specifies the kind of road to be con
structed. It must be of the most ap-
proved macadamized pattern, with deep,
solid roadbed, covered with crushed
stone Of small and uniform size, the
stope in turn filed in and covered with
material to make it smooth and even.
Other states might we'll pass a law of
this kind, each specifying the kind Of
road best adapted to it's own locality.
Then if in addition the prisoners in the
county jails and the state penitentiaries
were sentenced to make the highways
the cost would come light.

The United States does not want to be
mixed up in the Armenian question,
Until there is absolute evidence that
American citizens have been murdered
or seriously interfered with, this counn-
try has no call to NEEDLE in any official
way. There are men and ships and guns
and money enough in Europe to avenge
even the wrongs Of the Armenians, great
as they are, and it is the proper task Of
the powers there to do it, not ours We
do not want to send any warships to the
Dardanelles. They should be kept at
home. There is, however, one American
citizen whose death the United States
should hold the sultan Of Turkey re-
sponsible for. That is Frank LEM,
the American bicycler, foully murdered
while making journalistic tour Of the
Turks country, a country with which
we are at profound peace and on most
friendly terms. Let not the United States
forget Frank Lenz, a young man as full
Of promise for brilliant and useful fu-
ture as any who ever claimed this as his
native land. ..-*..

respect their sincerity OF purpose ana
the honor and uprghtnes5 when marks

The akers have always been success
ful inventors. and some OF the greatest
~ tho convenience OF the present day
found origin in u4lr settlements.
In one partlculay they excel ait other

They have made IL study for more
than one hundred years. il is one or
their peculiar industries. Their lives
have been devoted TO It,
Their latest and greatest achievement is
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. IL Is not
offered as a cure for all diseases. IL
does not pretend 10 be. but one disease
IL will cure. and that Is indigestion.
Sufferers who resort TO It's use have
not long TO walt 70 see the result. The
effect IL almost immediate. Tho first dose
usually gives relief and II continued a
permanent cure will follow.
Ii not only contains already disested
food. but il digests food as well, thus
toning up the general system. An in

THE TIMES TELLS THE DISPATCH
WHAT FIAT MONEY Is.

We are afraid there is moro in our sng-
gestion that the Dispatch il about to re-
Iapse 10 free silver than we thought
when We called attention to its article
Of last Sunday 1t has replied &c what
we said but no'er a word has IT used
that 10y any possibility can be consuiu7u
as a denial Of the relapse. We take IT,
therefore. that our neghbor is on the
HIGH road 10 rei0ining its old love.
The dispatch makes characteristic
replv. however. 1t always runs to the
IN quoque argument when 1t finds IL
self in a hole. and IL has resorted to that
method Of proof in this case. All 1t has
TO say is you're another" The other
this time Is that The Times is an adj
vocato Of nat money Well If The Times
were. how would that affect the question
whether the Dispatch was or was not
returning TO free silver? But is ii pos
sipie that the writer of the Dispatches
article knows what fiat money means?
The quotation he makes from The Times
refers to the well known fact that
thing which Is not money may be made
10 pass as money by the Government
accepting 1t in payment Of money due
#. SO long as the quantity Of 1t in eNis-
teuce Is not too great for the Govern
.nent to Doe able TO accept all Of 1t That is
offered Every schoolboy knows this TO
be true. Bat a has no relation of any
sort whatever to fiat money. We VIII
tell tho dispatch what fiat money is IL
is thing which no one Will accept vol
unfairly as that which it prrports TO be-
Nm, which the Government makes a legal
tender for debt and compels the citizen
by physical force to receive in payment
Of debt or 20 without anything. Surely
the Dispatch sees the distinction between
the two cases.
