General Cntchings TO Retirc.-It

General Cntchings 10 Retirp.-Tt l.
reported that the Fifty-seyenth Congress
will not contain among its members the
Hon. r c. Catchings of Mississippi. The
reason assigned for General Catchirgs' de-
termination to quit public life is his de-
sire to actively resume the practice of law
in order 10 safeguard himself against the
inevitable rainy day. At the expiration of
his present term he will have served con-
tinuously in Congress for sixteen years,
and. being an honest man, he has had 10
opportunity to prepare for the time when
il will be necessary to retire from the
heat and turmoil and strife that only
young men can endure. That his party in
Congress will miss his wise counsel goes
without saying. For years he has occu-
pied a conspicuous place in the front rank
of Democratic leaders. and has many
time prevented his party from committing
grievous mistakes. His services on the
Rivers and Harbors Committee have been
of inestimable value TO the whole country
and even the Republicans concede that he
has mastered the details of this important
subject as have few men in either branch
of Congress. 1t is said that General Catch
ing very soon will formally announce to his
constituents his wish to retire to private
life with the expiration of the Fifty-sixth
Congress. Who his successor will be is not
vet known.

The Duke of Wellington once declar-
Ell that there was nothing SO stupid as
a gallant officer. and a correspondent
of the London Times complains that
while the British officers are as brave
us brave can be they are mostly stu
pid." This charge Is not brought
against the British navy. In explana-
ton of it Navy and Army Illustrated
says: When an army officer is careless
or stupid in handling his men, he rare
ly kills anybody. 1t is otherwise with
n naval officer. If he is careless or stu
pid. he will in all probability not only
come 10 dismal grief himself, but will
bring il on others. Therefore there is
perpetual stimulus to efficiency in the
case OF naval officer, and his superb
ors have L powerful motive to be sharp
with him. An easy going colonel or
general may tolerate ShamS in field
days and maneuvers, but the admiral
or captain who wants 10 sleep with

EIccfricity In Aedicfne

Some curious cXpedeDts are neceS-
sary at times in the medical applica
tionS of electricity. 1t Is not uncom-
mon now for the electric cabs in New
York to be pressed into service as per-
ambulating sources OF electric power
by physicians who are called upon sud-
denly To make Y ray examIhatf0ns OF
patients who are in localities where
electricity from street circuits Is not
on tap. Recently on Il steamboat ply
ing from New York to neighboring
town a passenger undertook to commit
suicide by swallowing iaudanum-
Among those on the vessel n physician
was discovered. but naturally he did
not have with him the apparatus for
shocking the patient into SenSibility.
1t was for awhile an even chance
whether or not the suicide would be
successful. Finally the electric light
man on the boat bethought himself OF
his testing magnetic. which is the same
in construction as the calling part or
the ordinary telephone-a box with
two little gongS in front and a crank
to turn. This machine can give live
ly shock: So, armed with Il few feet of
wire and Il husky deckhand to turn
the crank, the electric light man ap-
peared on the scene and offered the
service of his apparatus. ItwaS prompt
ly accepted, and by dint OF vigorous
grinding of the crank the patient was
shocked TO the extent of keeping him
alive.
