COULDN'T CONFUSE HER.
How a DeepIy-Enamored, But Backward.
Sutton Proposed.

A certain young man, who, as every
one knew, was deeply enamored of a
certain young lady, whom he would
gladly have made his wife, but could
not screw up his courage to the stick
ing point, resolved at last to take the
first opportunity which presented it.
sell of learning his fate. No ooner
however, had he formed this resolution
than fortune seemed to desert him.
He often met the fair one, but never
could get the chance of speaking to
her alone. Driven to desperation, he
succeeded in accomplishing his purpose
at a dinner party. Nothing is easier
than to hold converse with the person
who sits next to you at a large dinner
party, provided always that you do not
look at that person, speak in an ever
tone, and abstain from mentioning
names; but, in this case, the Lady was
seated on the opposite side of the ia.

ADDED TO THE TRANSPORTS.
The Steamer Arizona, of the Northern Pa.
cite Steamship Line, Purchased
by the Government.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Assistaut Sec.
rotary of war Meiklejohn has secured
by purchase the steamship Arizona, of
the Northern Pacific Steamship Co.
She is a vessel of over 5000 tons, and
is to be devoted to transport purposes
on the Pacific coast.
For some time past the department
has been anxious to obtain vessels of
the Northern Pacific company, but ow-
ing to some international question
which presented itself, this was inn
practicable. The acquisition of the
Arizona, however. indicates hat the
objection has been removed.

SATISFACTORY Showing

vailing During the Civil Wharf.-The Hos.
pital ship SOlace-Surgeons Assigned
for the Care of the Spanish Wounded
at Seavy's Island.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Surgeon-Gen.
eral Van Reypen of the navy has re.
ceived a report from the surgeons with
the fleet, showing that in the many
cases of wounded, some of which are
serious, not Il rise of temperature or
an accumulation of pus has appeared
in any case. From a medical stand
point this is said to be a marked adj
vance from the
Conditions During the Civil War,
and is attributed to the introduction
of antiseptic treatment of wounds. 1t
shows that no fever follows the
wounds, and that, with the absence of
pus, the wounds heal rapidly without
complications. Considering the great
number of wounds to be treated, now
and hereafter, this is regarded as a
most satisfactory showing.
The Hospital Ship SoIace.
Word has been received from the ma
val hospital ship Solace that she has
on board about 40 naval wounded, and
a number of Spanish wounded. The
remaining accommodations will be Civ
en- to the wounded from the army. 1t
is expected she will arrive within the
next few days.
To Care for the Wounded Spaniards.
The surgeon general has assigned
Surgeon PursenS to take charge of the
wounded Spanish prisoners at Seavey
island, Portsmouth harbor. Surgeon
Pursens has recently been at the re-
cruiting station at New York. With
him will be four other surgeons besides
the two Spanish surgeons. They will
afford exactly the same surgical cart
to the Spanish wounded as that
Given to American Sailors.
The hospital has accommodations for
60 men, although there are only 43
Spanish wounded in the first party.
DIR. Van Reypen has arranged, howev-
er, for fitting up two large Pavilion
wards to take the place of the hospital.
Work on THE wards is being rushed,
and they will be ready by next Satur-
day.
