Detroit Free Press.
The proverbial %shrewdness and ingenuity
of the Yankee were never better illus
trated than by a boyhood chapter in the
life of Samuel @. Rand, now a prosperous
and ~well-known Detroit contractor. Mr..
Rand was raised in a farming district down
in Maine and when quite a lad met with an
accident that ave him a permanent lame
ness. At first the injury was OF such nature
that il prevented his mingling with other
boys of his acquaintance and enjoying the
outdoor pastimes that they enjoyed. In his
loneliness ne made a pet of a little pig that
had become neglected by its mother be-
cause of her large family. The pig was a
very intelligent and tractable little fellow
and the boy oun him a very apt pupil i'm
the little tricks that he taught him. In
cluded among the household pets was a
young dog. and the dog and the pig be-
an idea came TO the enterprising lame boy.
He built a small vehicle. and by great pa
thence and perseverance he managed 10
break both the pig and the dog to harness.
After awhile the oddly-paired team were so
trained that they could be driven as readi-
ly as horses.
sometimes I used 10 drive them as a
team" says Mr.. Rand, sometimes in tan
dem, and sometimes singly. That pig.
which 1 used 10 call Punch, could go as
fast as the average roadster, and he was
always obedient and under control"
The boy and his strange outfit became
familiar objects TO the Inhabitants of the
surrounding villages. which they used 10

with great awe by the youngsters, and the

turn an honest penny. He used 10 place a

JOHN BROWNS PAPERS
LETTERS THAT II LITTLE
LIGHT ON THE VIRGINIA RAID.
Some from Correspondents i'm Indiana
and Other States-TwO Pathetic
Missives from n Sister.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 21.-The Rich
mond papers will tomorrow print what are
known as recently discovered John Brown
papers, which were found in a lot of
rubbish in the State Library. 1t cannot
be said that they throw any additional
light on the John Brown raid into Virginia,
which resulted in his arrest and execution.
There is not a scratch of John Browns
pen among them. They are of two classes,
letters to Brown and his fellow-prisoners,
and letters from the prisoners to persons
throughout the country. The prisoners, it
is supposed, never saw the letters sent to
them and the letters written by them were
never mailed. Those 10 Brown and his
assistants are for the most part signed
with initials only, and no prominent per-
sons can be identified with them. They
are largely from correspondents in New
England, Ohio and Indiana.
Two letters to Brown from his sister
Elizabeth are both poetic and pathetic,
and it is evident she had no conception of
the fate that was in store for him. From
marks on all it is shown they were in
spected by Andrew Hunter, of the proSecu-
ton, or Governor Wise. What value there
is in the letters TO the prisoners, if any,
lies in their showing the widespread SYM
pathy throughout the North with JOhn
Browns desperate venture. The letters
from the prisoners tell nothing. Search is
now being made for a carpet bag of

Many, however, doubt the existence of
such "a historical treasure. Several letters

tured. 1t is not at all certain that some
of the letters nave not been published be-
fore. In not a few cases the letters to
Brown and his band are written in red ink.

A CLASSICAL PARALLEL.
Rome Once Had an African War on
It's Hands.

The Spectator.
DR.. Richard Garnet notes a curious his
tCrical parallel in Tuesdays Times. In
the days OF Tiberius, Tacfarinas, a Numid-
ian chieftain, maintained a contest against
Rome which positively bristles with pros
pective plagiarisms of the latter stages of
the war in South Africa. On the one hand
we find the Romans baffieG by the superior
mobility of the Numidians, existing CO.
and seeking to bride the activity of the
enemy by erecting castella (block houses
on the other we find TacfarinaS forestalling
De Wet by spreading reports that Rome
was assailed by other nations and was
evacuating Africa. General after general
came home reporting that the war was at
an end, till there were at the same time
three public statues in Rome wreathed
with laurel in honor of as many com
manders, each of whom had finished the
war, let adhuc raDtabat African Tao
farinaS." When at last q meritOrOus Of
ficer actually did finish il Tiberius refused
him the triumphal ornaments, having al
ready bestowed them upon another general,
who had come home some time before al
leging that the war was over. If DR.. Gar
nett cares TO prosecute his parallel hunting
researches in the annals" Of Tacitus fur
Their, he will find in Book ", Chapter Is. a
curious passage bearing on the disastrous
results of feminine influence in time of
war. We may add that he is hardly cor
rect in stating that the parallel breaks
down in one respect-that there were no
p~ro-Numidians in the days of Tacfarinas.
There were at least accusations of pro-
Numidianism, Tacitus expressly stating
Canals III, Chapter 33) that two
Romans were put on their trial and ac-
quilted for having supplied Tacfarinas with
corn.

VACCINATION AND LOCKJAw.
Complications May Be Avoided by
Proper Treatment Of Wound.
American Medicine.

The vaccination wound must be treated in
a surgical and scientific manner. Such Is,
we take ii, the one clear and admitted re-
suit of our recent experiences. The public
must be thoroughly educated in this highly
important matter. characterization should
be absolutely forbidden, and the physician
whose neglect of the proper precautions
and after-treatment permit tetanus or other
Infection is ~blameworthy. I'm the report of
the Camden Board of Health the tetanus
cases are said not to be due to the char
acter of the virus, but TO the distribution
of the desiccated tetanus germs by the
wind. How, then, did they gain access to
the wound? As the committee reports: by
the neglect of the patients TO present them
selves to the physician so that the wound
could receive proper attention" In all
the cases the wound was exposed by the
scab being knocked off or removed, or else
the arm had been injured and infection re-
suited. Frequently children scratched the
wound and infected it IN this manner.
''Tetanus or other infection can never oc-
cur if the vaccination is properly protected
from contact with the atmosphere or with
soiled clothing, b~andages,' etc. In a word,
the vaccination must be regarded as q sur
gical operation. and it's after-treatment
should be under the physicians direction.
There will then be no tetanus or other
complications. The principles of aseptiC
surgery are as imperative in this as in
any other wounds or operations.

MORE BOILERS EXPLODE
ANOTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A

Seven Men ScaIded, One So Badly III
Died, and Twenty to Thirty
Slightly Burned.

PITTSBURG, Dec. q. For the third
time within seventy-two hours Pittsburg
steel workers have been killed or manned
by terrific explosions. Following on the
heels of the accidents at the Soho fur
mace of Jones & Laughlin on Thursday
and at the Black Diamond steel works
yesterday, the city was shocked this morn
ing by the report of another explosion at
Singer, Nimick & Co.'S West End plant
of the Crucible Steel Company of Amer
lea, in which seven men were scalded, one
badly cut and twenty or thirty others
slightly burned.
At ESQ o'clock two of a battery of five
boilers used TO operate the sheet mill ex-
ploded with terrific force. Scalding water
played havoc among the workmen, who had
just started in for the day, while pieces of
the boilers caused great destruction to the
mill property. OF the seven men scalded
one died tonight and another is in a seri-
Gus condition.

went TO their homes. are Frank SpitZinger,
roller, age unknown, scalded about the
head and face, and an unknown Slav,
struck by a piece of boiler, causing loss of
the little finger on right hand. There are
at least twenty other men who were at
work in the mill at the time of the explo-
sion, who were more or less injured. The
men were all hurt by the escaping steam.
The cause of the explosion Is attributed
to frozen pipes which supplied the two
boilers of the five with water. They froze
some time early this morning.

MASO'S MEN WITHDRAW
WILL TAKE No PART IN THE COM
ING CUBAN ELECTIONS.
Will Publish n Manifesto Accusing
the United states of Acting in an
Unfair Manner.

HAVANA, Dec. 21.-The supporters of
General Maso in his candidacy for the pres
idency of the republic have decided to take
no part in the coming elections, fixed for
Dec. 81, all the candidates of the party
have withdrawn and the Maso members of
the provincial boards have been requested
to resign. These steps were decided upon
after the receipt of a letter from Governor
General Wood refusing to grant the party
representation on the board of scrutiny or
an extension of time in which to modify the
voting list.
AT a meeting of the party leaders a reso-
luton was adopted declaring that the cen
trail board is a coalition of partisans, and
that General Maso, after ~exhausting every
means to insure impartiality, rectitude and
justice at the coming elections, has become
convinced that neither in official circles in
the United States nor in Cuba does the IN
tention exist TO see that the the elections
are carried out with sufficient legality to
reflect the real wish of the Cubans, who
are DESTROYS of independence and anxious
to freely elect their first constitutional gov
ernment." 1t was voted TO inform Secre-
tary Root of the decision arrived at and
also TO publish a manifesto to the country.
La Lucia a%pplauds the withdrawal of the
Maso candidates and says that without the
guarantees asked from Secretary Root
every one KNOWS lhdl luS SlScllOn Vii De a
Justification of the will of the majority.
1.-THE MasO coalition" says La Lucia,
should not lead themselves to the be-
trayal of the public and should not CO.
operate in a policy which tends to lay the
foundation of the republic in a gigantic
fraud"
Besides having the so-called Conserva-
tives with him, Maso is said to have a
strong following among the blacks in the
country districts, and it is intimated in
Havana tonight that this Q ement may not
take kindly to the present condition of
things and may cause trouble. Maso S
Conservative leaders, however, say they
have no fear.
The Discussion, the Palma organ, asserts
that the withdrawal Of Maso's supporters
is due to the fact that they are a hopeless
minority and their candidates have no
chance of being elected.
