Delaware, 0., Aug. 30.—The hospital train of the Eighth New York regiment reached here yesterday evening. Captain Dr. George XV. Lindheim was iu charge, and he was the only commissioned officer or physician on the train. There were 260 sick men, 40 of whom were unable to get out of their berths. They are likely to die before reaching New York city. There were pitiful sights in the last three cars, where the sick and wounded ineu were. There were 12 cars in all. Grocery and restaurant men, assisted by many citizens, had sandwiches, coffee, milk, lemonade and fruits ready when the train arrived and kindly women's bauds carried the food to the sick men. OUR NAVY. Tn He Placet* Iu Beller Shape Than Be fore the War, Washington, Aug. 30.—1 tis not the intention of the navy department to make any considerable reduction in the number of ships on the commissioned list at this time. Aside from the questionable prudence of reducing the effectiveness of our naval strength in advance of a satisfactory outcome of the peace commission's work at Paris, the department is desirious of using the time now available to make many necessary changes in the ships so they will be gathered at the navyyards and put in the most thorough repair, one after the other being docked, cleaned and painted, so that iu the course of a few weeks it is hoped to have the navy in even better shape than it was at the outbreak of the war.

Br.ebbishness. The Hssea-w of snobbery lies in a superficial view of life which confounds a man with his external conditions. I humbly confess that it is snobbery which causes iu me a slight feeling of amusement when I see in a certain church a stalwart policeman in his private capacity acting as usher, and with measured tread marching up the aisle with the worshipers in tow. It is snobbery pure and simple which has effected in me a sudden diminution of solemnity when I have seen a popular dispenser of soda water leading the singing. For I see in each case the accidental, the irrelevant rather than the real, the essential—the stamp of occupation rather than the man. So, too, there was a dusky propeller of a handcart, who used to pass under my windows calling “Kebbage! Kebbage!” who became in my eyes invested with a shade of absurdity when I learned that he was the chief soloist of a prominent negro church. I have viewed the cemetery lot of a well known butcher containing a row of five small graves and felt a disposition to smile at the five small lambs surmounting them. And yet there was nothing really incongruous in any of these cases, unless ; in that of the butcher’s favorite emblem of innodence, and even that only argued a freshness of feeling which is some- i what unusual.—Lippincott’s. Famous Warhorses. Horses in war suffer more fatalities; than men. Out of the many thousands who perish in their duty toward their I masters only few return home to spend | their lives in the ease and honor they deserve. One warhorse, however, which ' made a splendid record for himself and I now has his virtues, name and noble I deeds engraved on a fitting tombstone | was Copenhagen, the horse the great, Duke of Wellington rode at the battle of Waterloo. Nine years after the Emperor Napoleon died at St. Helena an old white horse perished of old age and pneumonia in England. The skeleton of the animal is set up in the Royal Service institution, and to all visitors it is pointed out as Marengo, the charger Napoleon rode at the battle of Waterloo. Marengo came originally from Egypt and was left to wander on the dismal battlefield when the emperor was forced to fly for his life. An English officer found and took him, and he was sold to a general in the British army. In English pastures, cared for by kindly grooms, this noble horse passed the latter years of his life far more peacefully and happily than his great and unfortunate master. —London Mail. A Weighty Question. The story is told of a gilded youth of Chicago whose father employed a pri- : vate tutor to ram algebra into the young man’s head. In order to simplify the “plus” and “minus” the tutor used the familiar illustration of the counting of years from the birth of Christ. “Now, for instance, we speak of so many years A. D. or in the year of our Lord,” he said. “Those years counting from the birth of Christ we may consider as the plus units. The years counting back one by one before the birth of Christ we may take to be the minus units. Now, suppose I ask you the question, How many years elapse between the date 10 B. C. and 10 A. D.?” “Let me get that straight, ” said the young man. The question was repeated. He sat in deep thought for several moments and then said: “Well, now, I’ll tell yon. I could answer that if I only knew in what year Christ was born.” —Chicago Record. Subdued the Virago. While Spurgeon was still a boy preacher he was warned about a certain virago and told that she intended to give him a tongue lashing. “All right, ” he replied, “but that's a game at which two can play.” Not long after, as he passed her gate one morning, she assailed him with a flood of billingsgate. He smiled and said: “Yes, thank you, I am quite well. I hope you are the same. ’’ Then came another burst of vituperation, pitched in a still higher key, to which he replied, still smiling: “Yes, it does look rather as if it is going to rain. I think I had better be getting on I” “Bless the man!” she exclaimed, “he’s as deaf as a post. What’s the use of storming at him?” and so her ravings ceased and were never again attempted. The Boston of It. “You would be pretty,” persisted the other, “if you didn’t know it yourself.” The gorgeous Boston creature shook her head. “I can know nothing,” she argued. “I have mental impressions, but they do not establish external fact. Externality is a figment of subjectivity. Ergo, I do not know I am pretty, quod erat demonstrandum.” Casuistical subtleties, doubtless, but not easily to be swept away for all that. — Detroit Journal. A Narrow Escape. “Ah, no!” she sighed. “There is nothing new under the sun.” He felt around for the mustache he thought he was raising and turned a beseeching look upon her. “Os course,” she went on, “that can’t be classed as new. It looks several weeks old at least.” For a moment, however, she thought she had permitted the Cooplethwaite millions to get away. —Indianapolis Journal. Freedom From a Terrible Slavery. At last, I am thankful to say, the opera is dead. No longer shall my soul be corroded by the thought that I ought to be in my stall and am not. No longer when I am in my stall shall I writhe in auger to think of the stupidity of wasting my time so.—London Saturday j Review.

The Rules of the House. “How can I learn the rules of the house?” asked a newly elected Irish member of the late Mr. Parnell. “By breaking them,” was the prompt reply of the Irish leader, who, as is well known, spoke from experience on the point. But few members would care to adopt that heroic method of obtaining the desired knowledge, and their task in mastering the rules is rendered all the more difficult by the curious fact that many of these regulations are unwritten. Some will be found in the standing orders, or permanent rules; but those that deal with etiejuette and decorum have not been officially recorded anywhere, save in a few quaint and obsolete regulations to be found in the old issues of the journals of the house or in the minutes of proceedings taken by the clerk and published daily during the session. For instance, a strange rule for the guidance of the speaker is set down under the 15th of February, 1620, “The speaker not to move his bat until the third ccngee. ’ ’ Propriety of carriage in leaving the chamber is thus enforced, “Those who go out of the house in a confused manner before the speaker to forfeit 10 shillings.” Thisrule is dated the 12th of November, 1640. Again we find that on the 23d of March, 1693, it was ordered, “No member to take tobacco into the gallery or to the table sitting at committees.” —Nineteenth Century. Useful Slwwh Dogs. If you are going to prospect in Alaska and expect to travel much, a pair of good "Siwash” dogs are very essential —almost indispensable. These dogs greatly differ from our domesticated dogs, taking to the harness like a duck to water. They do not bark at strangers. They are kind and affectionate, showing the wolf in them only among their kind. It seems to be against their principles to get off the trail to let another team pass. This means a fight, an exciting episode if the teams number five or six do*< each. In an instant the wildest confusion takes place. Dogs, harness and each driver with a club iu his hand form one grand jumble from which order can only be restored by some of the dogs being knocked senseless. The dogs are trained to “gee” and “haw,” like an ox and stop at the word “whoa!” “Mush” is the word used generally by the whites to indicate go ahead, a perversion of the Indian word “husch.” The dogs prefer their master, but if lent for use they work as faithfully as for their master.—San Francisco Chronicle. Fresh meat easily absorbs nicotine from tobacco smoke and soon becomes tainted. Aware of this fact, the proprietors of some of the New York hotels will not permit kitchen employees to smoke in the kitchens or storerooms. Kongo negroes are remarkable for their thick skins. A case is mentioned of a black slashed with a razor in a scuffle’ The hospital surgeon broke two needles in trying to put in the stitches and at last was driven to use a brad awl. So accurate is the range finder used on American ships that in a recent test with two shots the projectiles fell within 30 yards of each other at a distance of 12 miles. Beth would have hit the hull of a ship farther than the unaided eye could reach. Bishop Cosin’s copy of the Sarum Missal of 1544, which disappeared from a locked case of the Durham Chapter library in 1844, was recently returned to the library by express iu perfect condition, but with nothing about it by which the sender could be traced. To populate the section of country through which the new Siberian railroad runs the Russian government offers the cheapest railroad fares ever announced. A through ticket for 1,200 miles will be furnished for 6 shillings, or. for over 4,000 miles, 14s. 6d.

Damaging* A Chicago politician—a veteran in the ranks—was recently accused by a former henchman of having offered him a bribe of SSOO to do a job for him. The wily “second fiddle” kept the SSOO and afterward brought it in evidence against his former chief. While the scandal was being blown about town an acquaintance of the accused met him one day and slapping him good naturedly on the back said chaftingly: “Well, John, so you were going to drop SSOO in Bill's way, were you?” The politician colored, or, to speak accurately. bis already florid complexion took on a purple tinge, as he said by way of explaining his agitation (hia original language is revised): “Now, I don’t give a hang for the talk about bribing him. That ain’t nothing. But it hurts my reputation to have my friends think I was such a clam as to give that heeler SSOO when I could have bought him with a ham 1”
