A NEW MAN ELECTED.

Dr. TIclP. Giltnili, cf Beyxaaar, Clioiea Superintendent f the Iesmi EopiUL Dr. Fletener Tenders His Services far Another Term, but the Trustees TJnanioiujr Favor Change. A regular meetinjr oi the Board o f Trustees ! the Indiana Hospital lor the Insane -wss held yesterday at the institution. It has been known lor some time that Im portant business would be transacted at this meeting and the outcome can not be chronicled as a rarpsise. All three of the Truit(i irere present, Dr. T. IL Harrison presiding. There has been ro secret of the intention ot the Board to make a change in the Buperintendency of the Hospital. Dr. W. B- Fletcher's term of four years expired on the Cth day ef June, last, and he has since been waiting for his successor to be duly elected and Sualified. He was known to be a can diäte for re-election, bat had not made for mal application for a renewal of official life. There was another application on file, however, that of Dr. Thomas S.; Galbraith, and the authoritative statement was published several weeks ago that he would be the new Superintendent. His flection bad teen agreed upon and all that - was lacking was formal action on the part of the Board, which was delayed tor a period owing to the absence of one of the trustees. Dr. Galbraith had been unofficially informed that he wonld be the choice of the Board, and, by request, was in the city. The usual routine came before the Trustees. There were the customary bills to pass upon and the various reports to be examined and approved. Accompanying the report of Dr. Fletcher was the following formal notice of hia candidacy for reelection : I hereby tender my services Superintendent for anather term. VV. B. F letch er, gup't. This was simply read with the report at the time of its submission, but afterward the Trustees went into executive session to coneider the matter of the Saperintendency. Air. Burreli moved that Dr. Galbralth's application be accepted, and that he be elected Superintendent of the Indiana Hospital fcr the Insane for the ensuing term cf four years. The motion prevailed without dissent, and President Harrison thereupon declared Dr. Galbraith the unanimous choice of the Board for the position for the time fpecified. Dr Fletcher and Dr. Galbraith were at once apprised of the action of the Board, and neither manifested the least surprise. Dr. Fletcher accepted the denouement without any show oi feeling. He stated that he had expected to retire at this time and was ready to do so; that while his views had cot always harmonized with those of the Boaid, he was pleased to know that their relations, in the main, had been pleasant, and he would step down and out with no complaint. Dr. Galbraith, the snperintendent-elenr, spent the rtst of the day, a3 well aitht night, at the institution, and will be Installed this morning. He went through every ward of the two departments and his familiarity with the scenes was apparent. He afterward dined with Dr. Fletcher and family, and in courte of a short time was introduced to almost the entire corps of attendants and other employer. The new superintendent is not only a physician of high standing, but has thoroughly fitted himself for the work which be now undertakes, and will carry with hJm an experience acquired by study and travel, which should eas ly enable him to maintain the reputation of the hospital as a model public charity. Dr. Galbraith is a Hooaier, a native of Bartholomew County, fourty four years of age. His professional practice covers a period of twenty-one years. He is a graduate of the Ohio Medical College, and has spent three years 1877,1880, 1S82 in Bellevue Hospital, New York. Last year he traveled extensively in Europe, visiting all the important insane hospitals of that country for the purpose of familiarizing himself with the details of their management. He has a wife, but no children. The salary of the Superintendent of the Insane Hospital is $2,000 per annum, it was fixed at this amount by an old statute enacted when the Hospital was but half its present tize and consisted of but one department. Besides the salary, however, provision is made for the living expenses of the Superintendent and family. Dr. Fletcher's wife has held the position of matron, which pays an additional salary of $1.000. - Few changes ere expected at the hands cf Dr. Galbraith. He, like Dr. FJe'cher, is a believer in the non restaint system in treating Insane JjtrsoES, and there will be no departure romthia. The Superintendent-elect an nounces that there are to be no material changes of employes, and that all of the minor attaches of the institution who do their duty may safely rely upon holding their places. No changes in the more Important positions are contemplated, but it is probable that an assistant physician to succeed Dr. Brown, who resigned to go to Tennessee, will ultimately be chosen. The change In the superin tendency scarce created a ripple at the institution and appearances yesterday indicated that everything would go on in machine-like order as if nothing nad happened. SPEAKER CARLISLE'S CASE. He Tails IV hy he Took no Testimony In the Contest of Tlioe-be. Washtkgtox, September 9. Mr. Carlisle, in explaining his position in the Thoebe contest, said last night: "I don't want to try the case in the newspapers, or to talk about it for publication, Dut there is such a lingular misapprehension m regard to it that it is not improper, I suppose, for me to say that I took no testimony for the simple reason that it was not necessary far me to do so. The contestant in his notice charged fraud and irregularities in almost every precinct In the district, but when he came to his evidence he did not even attempt to prove anything except that there were four Illegal votes cast for me at one precinct in Covington, and I do not think tie evidence is sufficient to show thit these four votes were actually cast for me. But assuming that they were, It makes no difference in the result, as my majority was 815. Of course there was no reason why I should take the testimony. "The charges tLat I intend to rely upon seme legal technicality and that I will ask an extension of time to take testimony are preposterous. The law allowed me all the time necessary if I had desired to avail myself of it. Certainly I would not accept a seat in the House if my right to it could be sustained only by relying upon a technicality, and bo far from relying upon any such ground I do not even intend to employ an attorney or submit any argument to the committee of the House, Members can take the record just as my opponents have made it up and upon that they can decide the cose without interference from me." Temperance Topics. I Exchange. I There is a comer in whisky. Drink tea and coffee in preference to ice water. Ho bicycle rider ever comes home drunk on his bicycle. A most refreshing and satisfying drink during this torrid season is a lemonade tea. Squeze lemons as for any other lemonade, then use cold tea Instead ot water as a compound. It is delicious and will satisfy the longing for a cool drink quicker than any other iced beverage. Ja the early age of Borne women were

prohibited from using wine, and hence their sear relations were allowed to salute them with a kiss is order that they might ascertain by the sense of smell if they had been drinking it: They were so fond of it, however, that Romulus, the first king, made a law that a husband might kill his wife for drinking. BEFRIENDED BYJEPF DAVIS. A Man who Holds Kx-President Davis In Grateful BXemorv I Washington Star. 1 -. Mr. John W. Smith, an old resident of Washington, chatting with a Star reporter the other day, remarked: "I was the first watchman appointed on the extension of the Capitol, end it was through the instrumentality of Jeff Davis." The reporter expressed some interest as to how he came to know Jeff Davis, and Mr. Smith said: "Ihe way that I came to secure the position is somewhat curious. It was upon a winter niht and the last cent in my possession had been expended in obtaining some medicine for my child, who was ill with croup. As I was walking along my foot Struck something soft, and, picking it up, I discovered it to be a lady's handkerchief. Stuffing it in my pocket I walked on until I came to a shop of an old friend of mine, and, going in, putted out the handkerchief, and found it to be cf fine texture and workmanship. Not yet fully appreciating its value, aud hatirg to go home penniless, I o&ered it to him for a quarter. He said. 'No, Smith, you had better take it home,' but I did not want it. I was very thankful afterward, however that I did not tell it,as it was worth $50. Upon reaching home my wife and I inspected it, and found lnthe corner the wordf.'MrP. Jefferson Davis.' It appeared that Mrs. Davis and her husband resided in the honte adjoining the place where I was doing business. One of my daughters, being sent in with the handkerchief the following morning, was met at the door by Mrs. Davis, herself, who Immediately retarned with, the child to our house, and remained there two hours. Upon leaving she said to me: 'Why don t you get a place under the government? You will never be able to raise all these children.' I told her that I had tried, and that one had to get a man shoved out to get one in, and for this reason I would not accept a position. Said she: 'What kiad of c place do ycu want, Mr. Smith?' and I told her that if I could get a position in the Treasury I could have every other day' off, and could work at my trade. Before going sbe gave the child who brought the handkerchief three silver dollars, and a

few hours later brought me an appointment as watchman in the Treasury Department. I desire to say right here that Jeff Davis was the best friend I ever had, and in the darkest hour that I ever experienced. Bhe handed me the appointment personally, and smilingly told me to come and see JefiV A short time previous to the election of Gen. Taylor I wa3 conversing with Mr. Davis, in his room, when he said: 'Smith, what is thefoeling about Gen. Taylor's gettiosr the nomination?' acdltoldhim tht from the drift of the talk in the city I thought Taylor would get the nomination. 'And if he gets the Eominauon,' be rejoined, 'he will be elected. Make yourself perfectly easy, and if you are turned out come to me and I will make a place for you.' And it was not a month before I was turned out, and I went to him and told him that I was out Thereupon be went to the Commissioner of Fublic Buildings end asked him if hi wanted any more help. The Commissioner, who was a Whig, replied that he did. and that he had to have two additional men cn the 'extension. 'But,' says he, 'Co'onel, if you want a man put on I will put one on for you now.' Davis replied that he did not want to have any turned out, and forthwith went to the Senate and drew up a resolution to appoint two additional watchmen on the extension of the Capitol. Through the sole efforts of Davis that resolution was passed by the Senate and House immediately. He then addressed me a letter to carry to Mr. Mudd, Commissioner of Public Buildings (whom I knew). As scon as I reached the Commirsioners office Mudd put the question, 'How did you get acquainted with CoL Davis? He is one of the best men on God's earth.' And then I recited the affair of the handkerchief. I was under Mr. Davis' care as long as he stayed in the Senate, and when he went South I lost my best friend. At one time two of the big guns of the Democratic party at that time went to ssa CoL Davis to have me turned out. Well, the messenger that waited on Davis was a particular friend of mine, and accidentally overheard the conversation that passed that morning. As the visitors entered, Davis was seated at his desk, doing some writing. After the usual greetings, one of the visitors stated that his business was regarding a man named Smith, who was em ploy ed as watchman at the Capitol. Davis threw his pen on the table ana said: Ye3 Major, I know Mr. Smith; I put him there.' ,Tbe other then stated that Smith was a black Republican, and urged Davis to withdraw from his support. Said Mr. Davis: 'Major, I am astonished at you. I put bim thtre, and he has as much right to his political opinions as you have. If there is any charge brought against him I will have it investigated, and will have him t Ii reed out if found guilty." The visitors withdrew immediately. I was ar ranged before Mr. Meigs upon six different occasions, and acquitted each time. Shortly after the above episode, Mr. Meigs spoke to rxe retarding another charge. 'Bat,' eajs he, 'Smith, I have made up my mind not to notice iL' He rked me if I had any friend who could aid me in such a matter, and I replied that I had. The result was that I was also acquitted of this charge. I continued to hold the position of watchman about fifteen years, or until Davis went South, when I was dismissed." A Tiiesome Xvenlag.

Strefgel, the man Injured Tuesday morning by Htcker, and whose condition was very critical, is now reported to be (loin? as well as could be expected. Mrs. Hackcey, ihe woman whom he had been m Jesting, would have had him arrested had he not been hurt. De Had Been Drinklog. ITexaa Bitting. Wife Drunk again, eh?

SAVED BY A KISS.

lma Griffin Awakened In Her Coffin by Her Lover's Caress. I San Francisco Examiner. "Elma Griffin, died April 15, 1819, aged 19 years, 4 months and 6 days." The words were engraved upon a silver plate, bat there was no coffin under them, Mrs. Purroy, an elderly lady, visiting friends living on Clinton avenue, Alameda, but whose home is in Brooklyn, N. Y looked with an air of mingled pride and reverence upon the carving, lor her name was once Kima Griffin, and the coffin that was made to hold her remains. "On my nineteenth birthday," she said, "my mother invited a party of acquaintances to our house to celebrate the day. We lived some distance outside of Williamsburgh, as it was then, and the ground was a little ecft and bogzy. One of my friends remembered this as she was about to start for her home with her brother, and she laughingly congratulated me on being housed already and having no occasion to brave the swamp. I was a wild young girl in those days, and I declared at once that I would go with them and return alone. Everybody present tried to dissuade me except the girl's brother. We b tar ted, and when we reached my friend's house I was conscious that my feet were quite wet, and that a disagreeable chill had crept over me, but I declined an invitation to go in, and went away at once. Of course Jlob the brother, I mean came with me, and somehow 1 forgot the cold and damp as I walked home. "I think we must have talked for a long time as we stood on my uncle's doorstep, for suddenly Bob my escort, I mean, said: VElma, your face is very pale. Have I kept you standing here too long ?' He talked to me for ten minutes after that, and then wished me good night and left me. I rang the bell, and when my mother opened the door I told her what I might have known an hour sooner, if I had given it a thought, that I was really ilL She hurried me to bed Immediately, and when she came to call me the following morning she looked very anxious. By noon I was delirious, but I could hear the doctor tell my mother that I had typhoid fever, and that he could not hold out much hope for my recovery. I knew that my mother waa weeping, but I was always a selfish girl, and I could only cry out: 'Robert! Robert! Where is Robert?' and they told me, bardly thinking that I heard them, that Robert had been suddenly called upon to st8rt for California early that morning and had not even heard of my illness. He sent a letter to me, however, but I did not see it until many weeks later. "1 grew rapidly worse, and gradually the knowledge of all outward thioga pissed from me. I fancy that I had a certain consciousness, but not of matters around me. I was in another ataie of being, la which the person acting and speaking always strangely speaking was myself, and yet not myself. Iben came an utter blank, from which I awoke, after nearly three weeks of oblivion, to see my mother and the doctor standing by my bedside. The doctor eaid the crisis was past, and I should probably recover, but I did not feel my intereet in what he was talking about "lne quiet days oi convalesence followed,, and the doctor, seeing that I was very weak, regarded me seriously, and warned my mother that a relapse should be carefully euarded against. I used at that time, too, to fall into curious physical conditions that I suppose were trances, ia which I knew all that was going on around me, but from which I did not seem to care to arouse myself by moving or speaking. Thete periods lasted longer and longer, but they were not observed, and as they were rather pleasant than otherwise I said nothing about them. One morning I awoke from whet seemed to be a natural sleep, and lay with my eyes closed listening to sounds that I could sot at first interpret; but slowly the kcowledge came to me that mv mother was Bobbing beside my bed. I tried to ask her why she was grieving, but I could not move or speak. The trance was upon me. I was tens itive, however, and knew that I was lying unon a bard substance and not upon the comfortable mattress of my bed. 1 could feel, too, very little cover over me, and despite my eyelids being down the gloomy darkness of the room could be de tected. 'Where in the world have they carried me to? I thought. 'TreBently I heard my mothers voice. and I knew shs was speaking to my cousin Mary, who was staying in the house with us " 'Poor Elms,' she said, 'I was so sure that God would spare her to me. She struggled through that dreadful illness only to die quietly in her sleep at last. It is very hard, Mary. "I have often wandered since that I dip not really die of horror at tbat moment, as I realized like a lightning flash that they thought I was dead and had put me into my coffin. They were going to bury me! I strove hard to speak, but the sphinx was not more dumb than I. I tried to stir, but the rock of Gibraltar might have moved as easily. 'Must my life be smothered out in a grave for want of a little speech or action sow?' I thought. " 'It h hard, indeed, dear aunt,' replied Mary, 'but His will be done.' You must arou&e yourself. The undertaker will close the coffin la a few minutes. Do you think Robert Mr. Purroy will be here?' " 'I hardly think so now,' answered my mother, wearily. 'Something must have happened to delay him. He was to have arrived at home yesterday, but he did not come, and I postponed the burial until today. He had rot heard of her death. Poor fellow! The news will nearly kill him. There ' one person in the world, I think, who loved poor Elma as dearly as I did.' " 'Oh, Robert, Robert, 1 cried, with a silent voice, 'come quickly. If you look at me you will know I am not dead.' "I heard a knock at the bedroom door. Was it Robert? No, it was only the undertaker. " 'May I close it now, ladles?' he asked, in professionally mournful tones. "Nobody but m j self knew that my heart was beating, and even I hardly knew it as the undertaker spoke. A second afterward it seemed to me tbat it throbbed loudly enough for every one to hear it, for somebody rang the door bell, and I knew as well tbat it was Robert as though my sealed eyes could have looked through brick and wood and mortar to see him standing outside. Softly and quietly he entered the room; gravely and calmly he asked my mother and cousin to leave him for a few moments alone with his dead, lie closed the door after they had goie out, and, stopping over the coma, gently kissed me. Then he started. I heard the quick, nervous movement, and I knew that I was saved. "fie hastily called my mother, and the doctor was quickly summoned. He saw at once tbat life was not extinct, though he had been just as positive four days earlier that I was quite dead. "My husband declared that an old woman may say it now that I blushed and smiled when he kissed me. At all events, I lived to marry him, and he would not part with that silver coffinplate for ten times its weight In gold." The Sing Sieg Boodlers. I Albany Journal, f An Albany man who was down at Sing Sing a few days ago on a visit to Keeper Connaughton, formerly of Albany, was afiorded an opportunity of seeing the prisoners on Sunday. Arcong them he saw Ferdinand Ward, the financier; Jaehne, McQuade, and O'Neill. the boodle Aldermen; CrowJey, the New York ex-police sergeant, doing eighteen years for an assault, and other notable prisoners. Crowley he describes as one of the finest looking men in the prison, and in conversation the ex-sergeant of police said that he did not expect to he con ansa much longer. Ward wears a white necktie to service in the chapel He seems to have carried

business methods into his prison life, and where he formerly went for the dollars and let the pennies take care of themselves, he now goes fcr the pennies utterly regardlasj of the dollars. Ward does not use tobacco but gets his allowance the same as other prisoners and can do what he likes with it. "And what do you suppose he does?" inouired the keeper of the Albany visitor. "Don't know." "Well, he will sell it to those who run short, for ten cents, Bat if while negotiating the aale, another man comes along and offers him eleven cents, the leven-cnt man will tret the tobacco." Ward is now in the printing office, printing the tags used on goods shipped from the prison. The boodle Aldermen .all looked well and contented.

A DRUGGIST'S EXPERIENCES. The Queer Orders He Iteeeives, and the Crank Ilm lias to l)etl With. While waiting for a horse-car the other night, a reporter for the New York Mail and Express dropped into a drug store not faraway. Presently a little fellow came in with a note which he gave to the clerk, who laughed, did up a small box of each ous, put a cime In the till and then passed the note over to his customer. It read: "tend me something to taae tobacco out of ny mouth." "That note," said the clerk, "is from a printer, and is a fair sample of many queer orders we receive. I don't suppose there is any business in which a man is asked for more peculiar things than in the drug busnees. Bat we generally guess pretty rarlywhat is wanted, and really get atari? very welL" "If that note tad come to me," said the reporter, "I should have sent the fellow a corkscrew." "No doubt; but you are not a druggist. What would you send in receipt of this order?" and he handed down from a file a note that read : "I want some of that smellin' stuff what goes through your brain." "I give it up." "I knew at once what was wanted it was ammonia. The note read describes the e fleet ef inhaling It very well. I gt a note ODce in a while though that bothers me. Here is one of them : Tiease send me enough stuff to thro up a girl 4 years old." "The man wanted an emetic. The dose was for ajgirl4year3 old. Another note that bothered me was this one:" "I want something for a caustic." "I was wrapping up some nitrate oi silver when all at once it strack me that the order was for u purgative, and I asked tbe boy who brought the note what ailed his father. Cramps, he replied, and then I was sure caustic should have read costive. A postoffice employe sent oVer here one day last winter saying: "The old woman has got a bad cough and Bhe can'tcough;sendme something for it." "Another sent word that his wife and two little girls were down with ths chills and fever, and he wanted tbe very be9t thing I had that would kill them. Of cc urse he meant the chills." "A lady sent only to-day for a plaster to take the stitches out of her back. Orders for the essence you put people to sleep with when you cut off their legs call for chloroform or ether. Something for a woman whose appetite is loose on her, means she wants a tonic, ts she ia losing ber appetite. Then there are orders for something for a sore baby's eyes, a baby's top for a nursing, end the like. The greateft, however, of these peculiar orders, is the call for 'something which I forgot the nsrae of, but it's a sure care for dyspepsia,' or any other common ailment.' To such I always send our own preparation." The Beward of Good Acting. Boston Budget A Boston Sunday-school teacher was endeavoring to impress epen the minds of her liUle pupils the necessity of gxid behavior. "You mcst be very cartful how you act." said she, "for if you act badly you will be punished, while if you act good jou will be rewarded. Now, my dears, can anyone tell me what he will get If be acts well?" A bright little fellow, whose father was an actor, immediately replied : "Det tailed before da turtain, I dess."

"WEARY, WEARY WOMBN.

Words of Wisdom to American Wires Who Are Overworked. Have ycu ever noticed, asks a writer in the American Cultivator, while oa the Ltreet, how many women you pass with tired weary expressions on tneir laces? They may be laughing and talking pleasantly, to all appearance as happy as anyone could wish, tut their sweetest smiles cannot conceal the weiry, want-of rest exprtssiens that are stamped upon their features. These may, in some cases, bs to the demands of society, which quite frequently are the causes of ill-health, but the msjority of them are housekeepers, working housekeepers, many of them mothers of large families. To all house keepers, but more particularly to the latter class docs this article tefer. It is a duty you owe to yourself and fam ily to lighten your houajwork as much as possible, so that your husband and child ren may not be called upon to mourn the loss of wife and mother long before your natural time. Every year there axe many women die from overwork, and most of them from unnecessary work. To be sure, this is not the disesse set down as the cause of death, on the certificate of the physician; there was probably pneumonia, 'typhoid fever or some other kindred disease, but could we gst the opinion of the attending physicians, I have no doubt that they would E&y that were not the constitutions of many of these women debilitated by overwork they would have been living today. It is, 1 think, admitted by most physicians that unless the constitution is naturally weak, or weakened by excesses, the above diseases teldom prove fatal. American women are cot, as & rule, of as robust constitutions as those of other countries. Whether tbe warnen them selves are to blame for this, or the climate of the country (that, by the way, is made to mother a good many ills she had no hand in making), it is hard to determine. but that the American women are no. strong is an established fact. You, then, knowing this, have no right to abuss your constitution by excessive work where there no necessity for it. Don't have white clothes for the little ones to play in, but if you do have tbcm, make them plain. Throw away all tucks and ruffie3 in every day wear for yourself and children. Don t wear lice or linen collars every day; they are cot worth the strength used ia doing them up, and if tent to the laundry wear out in such a lit'.le while that they do not pay in the end. Use tourists ruining for every day.. It cannot be washed, but it is very pretty, and when soiled can be thrown away, ana in the end he much cheaper ban collars that are washed every week. Particularly is this milling suitable to warm, sultry weather, as it retains its shapB and is much coolor than linen collars, which are the most uncomfortable kind of neckwear for hot weather. With the exception of a few articles, don't Iron but very slightly the plain clothes. Only the sheets for the spare bed need be ironed all over. The rest may be pressed only at top and bottom. The plain underclothing need get but a slight ironing, and if the family is large none at all. Sjms people prefer to wear their underclothing rough dry, claiming that it is healthier. The neatest and best housekeeper I ever knew was an old lady who would never have her clothing ircned on this score. She never used an iron pot or kettle when she could get a tin or some other light ware to answer the same purposes. Bhe claimed that though the tin would wear out quicker than iron yet in the end it was cheaper, for it saved both time and strength, it saved time, for when in a hurry, whatever she wished to cook could be done in one-half the time than if iron was used, and it saved strength, for in lifting from one part of the stove to the other it required very little exertion, öome mey claim that the tinware is not conducive to health, but, however, if the tin is kept clean there is very little danger to be feared oa that score. Don't have heavy furniture, particularly in your dining-room or kitchen. Light furniture, both in color and weight, win save a great deal ot unnecessary work. Dark colored furniture shows every speck of dust that settles on it, and though there would cot be enough to harm anybody yet the least speck is an eye sore to the housekeeper, who must keep continually at work to keep it clean. Light-colored furniture does not show dust ia this way, and is more preferable, and if of light weight, the lifting of it is a very easy matter. Uet ail the labor-saving articles you can possibly effort. You will, very likely, find some that are of little account, but there are some that are excellent, and it will be worth your experiment with the others to find the article you want Above all things, don't cling to a certain way of doing things because your grandmother did it that way, when you can find an easier way of doing it. Do you suppose your respected ancestress would have done it the way she did it she could have known of en easier one? Certainly not Remember the world moves, and you are expectsd to move with it. LEE'S FATAL ERROR. General Longstreet in a Recent Interview Criticizes Lee at Gettysburg. On tbe evening of the first day's fighting, when the Confederates occupied Seminary Kidge and the Federals concentrated upon Cemetery Hill, Lee and Longstreet were upon the ndüe.and after study ing the situation Longstreet saldtoLe: "If we could nave cnosen a point to meet our plans of operation I do not think we could have found a better one than that upon which they are now concentrating. All we have to do is to throw our army around by their left and we shall iaterpose between tho Federal army and Washington. We can get strong position and wait, and if they fail to attack us we shall have everything la condition to move back tomorrow night in the direction ot Washington, selecting beforehand a good position into which we can place our troops to receive battle next day. Finding our object Is Washington or that army, the Federals will be sure to attack us. When they attack we shall beat them, as we proposed to do before we left Fredericksburg, and the probabilities are that the fruits of our success will be great." "No," said Gen. Lse, "the enemy is there and I am going to attack him there." Longstreet says: "I suggested that sach a move as I proposed would give us control of the roads leading to Washington and Baltimore, and reminded Gen. Lee of our original plana. If we had fallen behind Meade and insisted on staying between him and Washington, he would have been compelled to attack and would have been badly beaten. Gen. Lee answered, 'No ; they are there in position, and I am going tn whm them' I saw he was in no frame of mind to listen to further argument At that time, so l did not push the matter, but determined to renew the subject the next morning." He did renew the subject on the morning of the 2d. but Lee would not consider the proposition to move ;to Meade's left and rear. On tne morning of the 3d Lee came to him to renew the attack on Cemetery UUL Once more, the third time, LongStreet argued the movement to Meade's left, lie says: "I stated to uen. Lee mat I bad been examining the ground over to the right, and was much inclined to think the beet thing was to move to the Federal left " 'No.' he said, 'I am going to take them where they are on Cemetery Hill. I want you to take Pickett's division and make the attack, l win re-enurce you nytwo divisions or the öd Corps " "Tbat will give me 15.000 men," Ire plied. "I have been a soldier, I may say, from the ranks no to the position I now hold. I have been in pretty much all kinds of skirmishes, from those of two or three soldiers up to those of an army corps,

and I think I can m fely ssy there oer-r was a bed? of 15,000 men who could make that attack successfully." "The General teemed a little impatient at mylremarkp.BO I Eaid nothing more. As he showed no indication of changing his plan, 1 went to work at once to arrange my troops for the attack." The result was as already told. Pickett wascruBhed, and the Confederate army was only caved by Meade's mistake. All of this Gen. Longstreet will elaborate fully in his book. ALWAYS ON THE GO

AVhy Trainmen Stick to m Bard ami Very DangerouK Life. "We see many strange things in our life and many strange people. But that existence would be a burden, and you could not get a man to run on the road at all, for the pay is not great and the danger is not little.He was a trainman on one ot the many roads tbat run out of Bnflalo, and had just finished his supper and was quietly enjoying a cigar. The girl next door was trying to strike up a flirtation with him but in vain. Nor, did she show poor taste. He was young, tall, fair lookine, with an athletic frame and a pair of honest, fearless blue eyes, that compelled propped from men and won tte hearts of women. He was in a talkative mode and went on' pausing now and then to keep his cigar going. "I don't know wpy it l.', but I am never contented except whon I am on the move. I may be dull and depressed when I am down town, but the moment the conductor calls out 'All aboard !' and the engine pulls out, I forget everything except the bustle, rumble, roar, and the swaying of the train. The rapid motion has an exhilarating effect and as the trees and heida whiz by my oicoa oegins to ungie. "Ilien a man makes mends at every stopping-place, and there is always bo me one to eay 'good-day' and 'good-bye' at every station, lou are always on the go, and there are always old f rends and new faces at every turn. I like the life, and it is tbe excitement in it that keeps so many men tied down to it i ou must not think we could Dot do better. Why, I have auit two or three times, and I did well. too. bat I cculd not stand it, so I returned to the life egain. Promotion is slow but sare, and each of us know that a conductor's punch will surely come in time if we do our duty. It ia all very well to talk of BouIleEs corporations, but a railroad appreciates an honest employe just as much, if not more, than a bank president does an efficient clerk. ' I don't know why it is." he went on. after a few vigorous pufls, "but the brakeman or trainman as he is now called is a greater masher than the conductor. The shy country lass, the coy village maid, and the aristocratic city lady all take to us. One reason Is we aie more obliging. We have few of the cares that annoy the conductor; people are not trying to beat us.and we have no spotters watching us. I sup pose it is necessary to put Bpies on the conductors, but I think as a class they are honest Now and then one yields to a pitiful tale, but he is too good a judge of human nature to be deceived often. I often think that if the officials had to be tried and tempted as the conductors are they would make as many mistakes of the head and heart, l will give you one pointer if you wish to eet a ride make 1 our talk with the conductor before you board the train. He will do just ai much for you then as he will when you strikb him on board. A man who is honest never gets aboard and tries to beat his way, ana no one knows this better than the conductor. ' No, we seldom get ti ps," he continued, "and a great many of us never take them. Of course, we can pick up many cigars, but they are more in the line of sociability than anything else. We have so many f i lends along the road that they are always doing something of the kind. I knew one day I returned a book to an old gentleman who had left it In his seat as he changed cars here. He offered me a dol lar, which I refused. He then thanked me very gracefully, with a marked English accent. I found out afterward he was Herbert Spencer, I was glad then I refused the 'tip.' "I can give you another instance." he said, after another struggle with his cigar "and thai happened between here and Syracuse. We pulled out one night, and as 1 walked through the car I saw a young girl with a pinched face, dark, sad eyes and a hacking cough. I caw that ske was a consumptive, and I made up my mind that she was hurrying home to die. i was all sympathy at once, and made up my mind that I would keep track of her and see that her journey was pleasant as possi ble. We whirled alon?, and as l went by her I saw that she was suffering. I proffered my services, and she siid She wanted a cup of water. I got it and then I fixed the seats and made her a bed. I gave her all the help I could, and she finally told me her story. She said she had been a student at the Normal School at Albany, but she had been broken down during the course of study. Now, I had a cousin there and I told her so, and she knew her. She became more confidential and told me she was going home to die, and that the doctors had told her ehe eonld not live fix months. When we parted I turned her over to the conductor on tbe next run, who had at one time been a trainman with me, I never saw her gain. "it was a good six montns atterwara," ne bald, as he lighted his cigar, which had gont cut, "when I heard that there was a reward ottered to the trainman wno naa been kind to a sick lady on his train. I tl. ueht of my adventure, but I made up n , mind that I was not the lucky man. Now, all tbe boys had a sick passenger, due none cot the reward. One day in Syra cuse a man came up and began to talk with me about my sick passenger, and wanted a description. I am a good hand in remembering names and faces, and I told him about her pinched face and her eyes and her cough, as I have told you. He told me that I was the man he was looking for, but wanted me to tell how she was dressed, and I did not miss that. Then he informed me that she had requested on her death-bed that I should be well rewarded for my kindness. He told me that ehe had a little money, but that her mother was in rather bad circumstances. I am not very saving anyway, but I have enough for my ordinary expenses. I thoaght of my own mother, and then I made up my mind that I did not want any reward, and I told them so. I knew that she was grateful, and I told them I did not value the reward half as much as I did her remembrance of me. I never got the reward," he added, with an attemptata smile, "and these are the only tips that I ever received. But I must report for this train, so that If the other man can't go I may take his run. If jou ever take a run down our road go on our train. I will try and make it pleasant for you."
