The Military Career OF General Colston
DR.. L. v. Brooke. sutherlin, Va.
sends us the following note on tho
military career OF General Colston, re-
printed IN this column from the Con.
tederate Military History:
In tho sketch of General r. r.. Col.
ston printed In your column last sat
urday 1t Is stated that as Majo. Col
ston he marched to Richmond in
1861 in command OF the cadets This
is q mistake. Major r.. j. Jackson
and not Major Colston, was in com
mard of the battalion. from the front
OF barracks to the Fair Grounds at
Richmond. Jackson then left for Har-
per's Ferry, and Major Gilman was In
command Of the corps and the camp

Hartford, Connecticut, will be 81. and

IS. Tho Courant explains that tho IN
crease in tho charge for this service ls
the result OF tho increased cost OF food
supplies and other expenses OF keep
Ing horses and carriages, and also bo-
cause carriages and hacks arc not SO
much in demand now as formerly. and
tho expense Of Keeping them UP for
occasional use Is therefore greater.
There Ia great deal of virtue In
therefore," but It docs not seen to 1T,
exactly the present situation. Besides
we do not see why anybody who Is for
tunate enough to live in Hartford
should do. It Is q perfectly lovely
place and SO much better to live In
than to dio In. Out there near Eliz-
nbeth Park. for example. and on the
brow OF the hill where Brother Charles
Hopkins Clark has his domicile. we
should rather BIO than out in the finest
cemetery that WIS ever built by the
hands Of man, all by ones self and ter
ribly Lonesome for tho lack OF good
company. The price Of carriages for
funerals. however has nothing to do
with this view OF the case
We cannot understand why any
body in Connecticut, even Re-
publican, should want to die,
particularly in tho cherry bios
som time; but then we do not see why
anybody should care to live or die
either. in Connecticut, when Virginia
is SO much nearer Heaven than any
other State in the Union, and Rich
mond is its front gate. How the
Courant is to reconcile tho law of sup
ply and demand in this case we do not
know and 1t does not care. It is a
thick and-thin Protectionist and would
doubtless defend the Payne-Aldrich
tariff in spite Of the fact that 1t has
raised tho price of funeral carriages in
Hartford from 25 to SO per cent.

with tho best people OF HIS Draft. At
least these seem to BIO tho only pos
siblo excuses for the assault which hc
made recently on trained nursing. II
ono may believe DR.. Beates. tho
trained nurso Is tho most tempted
and tho most dangerous OF women. She
enters hospital and finds herself
surrounded by depraved men and
debased women: her moral nature Is
warped and her future 10 ruined. Few
Of tho girls who enter tho hospitals,
he says, ESCAPE with character and
honor" and even these '1oso much
and frequently all OF that indeflnable
bloom and grace which Is at once
tho charm and the browning glory Of
true womanhood."
II this charge were true It would
BIO far better to close tho nurses train
ing schools and return to tho days
when old women and men nursed the1,
kind. Society could not afford the
loss of so many fne girls. even FOL
the caro- Of the sick, and morality
could not afford to sacrifice SO much
honor in healing the diseased. AS
matter Of fact, DR.. Beates has prob.
ably picked out tho worst nurses
school and tho worst hospital he
knows and has taken them as type
Of tho whole. There arc hospitals II
this country where precisely what Dr.
Beates describes might occur. but
these are fortunately SO few that they
do not affect the tonc Of tho profes.
sion or damage its high morality.
On the contrary. no man who has
labored with trained nurses or watched
them in the hospitals can fail to bear
honor to their worth. their sacrifices
and their service. They endure hard-
ships, they perform mental duties but
they do It with charm and a grace
that dfgnifles tho labor and Elor1hes
tho laborers. They learn many les
sons which are contrary to their ma
ture. and oftentimes their souls rebel
against these things. but most OF them
bear all in patience, knowing that
their calling is high and their mission
sacred.
There may be another profession
which is as exacting. but there IS
none in which the standard Of morality
and the standard of sacrifice is higher.
For one trained nurse who follows her
profession for tho emolument and ex-
c,tement there are a hundred who
enter 1T as solemn life-worR, and
who devote to 1t the purity OF noble
hearts ana the conservation Of the
truest womanhood.

OF Doctor Robert Koch, which occur
red Friday, brings tho achievements
of lifetime to mind Koch's SOL
cntiflo career covered little moro than
generation,-from the time he was
graduated from Gottingen in 1866 and
began to practice as IN obscure
young physician until he died at
Baden Baden tho most renowned bac-
terlologist OF tho world, tho most fam
GUS man of science,--but this brief
space Witnessed q revolution in mod
icine and tho birth Of new science
When Koch began his studies in tho
causes of disease, bacteriology and
pathology were sciences almost I'M
known. Van Leeuwenhocks early dis
coveries Of bacteria had been extended
by the work OF Schultze, Swami,
| Schroeder and a number OF others, but
they had not resulted In any definite
theory of tho origin Of disease. Pas
tour was but beginning his work, and
was preparing to test the opinions he
had formed in his study of torula;
Lister had no inls1ing of asepsis; the
great school Of psychologists was
still in training. When Koch ended
his career, his views had been spread
to every corner of tho earth; the
germs Of many diseases were known
and anti-toxins for their treatment
were in use; the bounds Of pathology
cal investigation were daily being ex-
tended. and every textbook Of medi-
elmo had been rewritten.
1t was DR.. Ikoch's good fortune to
play a great part in this revolution,
