When Richmond had fallen and the great
commanders had met beneath the historic
apple tree at Appomattox, the SD Penn
sylvania Volunteers, prematurely aged, clad
in tatters and rags, broken in body but of
dauntless spirit, swung into line for the last
grand review" and then quietly marched
away to begin ife's fray anew. Rebel shot
and shell, the dread miasma of the southern
swamp, sleepless nights and wearisome days
had depleted their ranks until only hand
full remained. Among the number Asa Rob-
inson came back to the old home IN Mt.
Sterling, Ills.; that he had left at the call to
arms four years previous. He went away in
the first flush of vigorous manhood; he came
back a ghost of the self that answered to
President Lincoln's call for" 800 GOO more"
With his return to the old homestead
there came to him the knowledge that war
with him was only begun; that he must
fight the battle with disease to the end of his
days; that the glare of southern sun and
the CALLING fire of southern soldiery were
as nothing compared to the onslaught Of an
enemy that fought under cover and disre-
parded all the rules of civilized warfare.
Sciatic rheumatism fastened its fangs upon
him, incapacitating him for manual labor and
rendering him, much of the time, physically
as helpless as an infant. The years passed
by, but his sufferings, with increasing age,
were increased rather than diminished. He
spent small fortune for doctors medicine,
praying for even temporary relief, but it did
not come.
To-day he is an alert, active man of fifty
five years. His rheumatic pains have de-
parted, and while there are traces of his
years of suffering in his face he walks with
the soldierly bearing and springy step of a
healthy young man.
To the Democrat Message reporter he talked
freely about his case. Mr.. Robinson is a man
of much more than average education and
intelligence. Where he is known in Brown
County his word is as acceptable as the bond
Of the average man, and there is no question
but that in his case an almost miraculous cure

PASSENGERS ON SAILING SHIPS
Reasons That Prompt Them IL
Take Long Sea Voyage.

Almost everybody that travels on the
sea nowadays goes by steamer, but
there are still some persons who, for
one reason and another take passage
on sailing ships going usually long voy-
| ages. All big ships have one or two
or perhaps more spare staterooms in
their cabin, and SO are able to carry
comfortably limited number of pas
sengers. American ships sailing out Of
this port carry passengers-one, or it
may be more-on probably half the
voyages they make. Sometimes there
are applications from more than can
be accommodated, sometimes there are
none at all.
For long time 1t has been custom
to some extent to send on long voyages
men whom it was sought thus to cure
of a craving for liquor; for the benefits
of the voyage and for enforced absti-
nence. There are yet such passengers,
but some vessel owning firms now de-
cline them.
Passengers making these long voyages
in sailing vessels go some for pleas
ure and others are actuated by various
motives. For example: Two young
men who were friends went out from
here together TO Japan. One of them
was the son of a New York importer.
who was going to be resident agent in
Japan of his fathers house This house
charters ships and has constant deal
ings with ships, and it was desired
that its representative should have
some practical knowledge of them.
which he could acquire on the voyage
out The other passenger on this voy-
fn I'll he
fession on steam vessels. He took this
voyage as part of his preparatory ed
ucstion in acquiring a knowledge Of
ships.
Men sometimes make the long yoy-
ages TO gather literary material. There
are sometimes passengers who take
passage simply to get to some port of
destination.
A while ago New Yorker of ample
means and of perfect health and with a
love for the sea. who went out from
here to San Francisco in a sailing ship.
liked the ship and the Captain and the
life so we'll that he sailed in the ship
for three years. He went in her from
San Francisco to Liverpool and back
to New York; out to San Francisco
again, once more to Liverpool and
back TO New York, and then to japan
in her.
But while some men make long voy-
ages simply for the pleasure of it. prob
ably more go for their health: the
number Of those who go to recover
from the effects of overwork. men who
are pretty nearly worn out and who
need a rest. is considerable. They get
here three to five months of absolute
rest and freedom from care. and the
results attained in some cases seem al
most marvellous.
The charge for long voyage on the
finest ships is $500. A long VOYAGE
would be that to San Francisco. 100 to
100 days; TO Japan the same. or TO
Australia, 100 to 125 days; If the pas
senger remains aboard in port the
charge for that is $40 a week.-New
