A THOUGHT.

The serinus wounding of Mrs. Soffel
and the killing Of the Biddle BROTH
ers, whom she aided in making their
escape from jail and the gallows, hasa
lesson for mankind all over the world.
for the reason that sentimental con-
sideration for those. who are condemn
ed to death, has grown to such an OK
tent that the criminal often becomes
great hero, while his victim is soon
forgotten. except by his near OF kin.
In the case of Mrs Soffel, this un-
braided sentiment was permitted to
run, until it got the better OF her
judgement which is generally the
case--and happy home is forever
broken up, devoted husband, and
faithful officer of the state is disgrace
ed and ruined. perhaps forever SO
far ~ his usefulness as an officer is
concerned. the innocent children who
'lo-ed and still love their mother,
driven in disgrace on cold, and nom
charitable world, all for the want of
proper thought, and judgement in the
hour Of trial. when sentiment held
sway over her thoughtless act. The
State should see that those who are
condemned to death, are separted
FIR ON all contact with the human fam
lily, except the proper guard selected
fer the purpose, just as room as the
court decides that the criminal shall
no longer be considered. as worthy of
life.
Why should one whose life is con-
sidered as forfeited, by an honest
Judge and jury, be made the subject
of the tender care of the sentimentally
disposed portion OF a community. and
loaded with flowers and dainty food.
until the whole community is work
ed up to considering the courts.
which execute the law. more guilty
TN an the one whose hands are stained
with blood.
Sentiment is noble attribute, to be
admired in all who possess it in high
degree, vet justice must be consider
ed as well, lest sorrow may result,
where joy was hoped for.

BOY CURES ALL AILMENTS.
Michigan Youth Who. 1t Ii Alleged,
Has supernatural Powers of
Treating Disease.

John Griffit, who until recently re-
sided near Gilead, recently has been
found to possess great curative pow
ers. To date he is reported to have
cured over 400 eases, in nature cover
ing a large proportion of the catalogue
of human affection.
Griffit's method is to pace his hand
on the afflicted part, simultaneously
praying. While he cannot explain
wherein lies his power. he attributes
it to divine gift at birth. He has
visions and believes everything he
dreams. He will undertake to cure
only at certain times intervening the
new and full moon and at night time.
The boy Invariably bestows his serv-
ices gratis and says that he believes
what he does for the sick is charity
well bestowed. He is not a member
of any church and was never baptized
in any faith. The young man is not
familiar with the full extent OF his
power, as he has never yet met with
failure in his attempts to cure. The
case is attracting widespread atten-
ton. especially in medical circles.

Nine. D'Ajuria, or Marchioness
D'Ajuria, as she claims the right to
call herself, flashed upon the fashion
able colony Of Lakewood, N. j., in the
season of 1895. She appeared to be
possessed OF ample means and rented
from George Gould for the season the
handsome cottage known as Gray
Gables. One OF her new neighbors,
says the Chicago Chronicle, was man
of large wealth who had recently be-
come a.widower. On returning from
New York to his Lakewood home one
evening he found awaiting him per-
fumed note from Nine. D'Ajuria invit-
ing him to call. He did so, and found
her lavishly arrayed in a superb vel
vet evening gown. After some con-
versation and an exchange of neigh
borly courtesies Nine. D'Ajuria sug-
gested that, as her caller was then liv-
ing alone, she had thought it might
be agreeable for him to become
boarder with her at Gray Gables. She
would at the same time, she said, if
such an arrangement were pleasing to
him, utilize the opportunity to paint
for him his portrait in miniature. Her
neighbor did not care to give up his
own home and courteously declined to
approve of such an arrangement.
Nine. D'Ajuria was well known at
Lakewood also two years ago. At that
time she rented expensive apartments
in the leading hotel and lived on scale
of luxurious indulgence. With her was
her only child, Orc, daughter, then
about IL years old, and young wom-
an who acted as Oro's governess.

CONFEDERATES' LAST TRIP
Dates About Final Passage Of Po-
tomac River.
SOME INTERESTING HISTORY
An Old Soldier Tells When the Confederates
Crossed the River for the Last Time and
Of Other Operations Around
Maftinsburg.

"Old soldiers sometimes get mixed
up about matters relating to the Owl
| War, !" said veteran the other day
who was q member of the Fourteenth
Pennsylvania Cavalry of she Union
! Army. "You would think, he con-
tinued. thatIthey would be SO strongly
| impressed by the events of those days
that they would remember nearly
everything. suppose we are growing
old and orr memories are failing.
The other day in car three seats
ahead Of me sat two men-a lame man
and man with long hair. These
men who had fought against each
other during the Civil War were talk
ing over the old days of 40 years ago.
1.-The lame man who had fought
under General Meade, was mixed in
his date. He declared that the Con-
federate Army had never crossed ii
Potomac River again after the battle
of Gettysburg. The man with long
hair knew little better, for he had
marched with General Jube Early
along the dusty pixies of MARYLAND in
July, 1864, but he was also much mix
ed in his dates OF some engagements.
when did the Confederate troops
recross the Potomac River for the last
time? / say that on July 20, 1864, two
Confederate Cavalry brigades com
manded by Generals John McCausiand
and b T. Johnson, crossed the Po-
tomac River about Willlamsport, Fa.,
destroyed Chambersburg, Pa, the
next day, and for four days Skin
mished with our brigade, commanded
by General Averill, in the mountains
above Hancock, Md, and early on the
morning of August recrossed the POI
tomac River above Hancock. Later
our brigade charged their camp, at
Moorefield, W. Va, August T. We
returned to Martinsburg on the l4th.
and were told by the men Of Duffy s
brigade that no other Confederate
cavalry had attempted to cross the
Potomac. However, on August Goth,
some other Confederate commands
tried to cross the river at Villa ms
por and were driven back by our brI-
gade.
"Then came the following fights
Martinsburg, August 81; Buckles
town, September 8; Bunker Hill, Sep
TENDER 4; near Stephens Depot, Sep
TENDER 5; Bucklestown. September
10; Martinsburg September Is. Then
our brigade joined General Sheridan's
army at Winchester, and we fought
the battle there on September 10. Az
ter that were the battles of Fisher
Hill, Cedar Greek and dozen small
or ones, all fought south of the town
of Winchester.
81 am aware that some of Mosby's
men in disguise crossed the Potomac
River into St. Mary's county, Md,
later in the fall of 1864. / also know
that some of Captain McNeal's men,
in disguise, stole into Cumberland
and captured Generals Crook and KEEL
ly in January, 1865.
Il repeat that the last Confederate
tro ops, dressed like Confederate
troops, marched like Confederate
troops, with their bonnie blue flag
floating to the breeze crossed the Pc
tomac River from the Maryland to
the West Virginia side some time be-
tween midnight and daylight on Aug
ust 4, 1864. -
