"'' It In BE .':i S 'Hi; ' "10 :' THE HOUR OF DEATH.' Scieatlie Iaveatigalion. . - f 1 'In' Mr.; John1 Trimble's " Notable : Things of Our. Own Times," are some i accounts of the cariosities of scientific investigation among the following con-j cerniug the .iiourof death. ..L. ... j The subject pf the .hour ofRdeath, (ays Mr. Haviland, an eminent surgeon. , in 'a paper' read to'theBrhish-Associa - tion,) has ; occupied 1 the - attention of medical writers from the time of Aetius, who flourished at the Court of Constan tinople icr the'fifth century, up to the present date, but no practical" fruit" has"" been the result for the' physician in his treatment Cot Hfsease..HQ!lcojaclud'c4f that the time had now arrived for a thorough' investigation-of the facts 'In our possession, inasmuch as if there be-. any latent truth in 'them - of importance to mankind, it is our simple duty to in-" voke that truth, and avail ourselves of r its teachings in the practice of medicine. He remarked that the physician's duties does not cease when he has ascertained the disease of the patient, and prescribed medicine to remove it; by medicine aIoTth'epatient is not he"aledThe""has"' to act upoaj the, Advice' oCHippocrates and see that those in attendance do their duty also, and in bis absence watch every phase and by "the living present But," to 'so"' direct, the physician, must know each cause of change, and by his knowledge anticipate . what , may occur ; lay down simple rules for the guidance -of friends and nurses, and teach them how to watch each circumstance ,, of disease; he must know the cbangefulness of our bodies in health; he must take due account of this changefulness when illness supervenes; he must know when they are; at the lowest ebb ; for .this knowledge is a most necessary element of success in his combat with the enemy he is implored to encounter. Of late years the art of nursing has more than ever occupied the thought of physicians and thi laity at large." We havehad noble efforts made in the camp and at home to" sooth 'the ' anguish; of the wounded and diseased. The author has collected over five thousand cases of death, with the hour of death and i other circumstances: recorded, which he had tabulated, and exhibited on a large chart, the different collections being distinguished by colored diagrams. By this chart he showed that in one thousand cases of death in children ; under 'five '"years of age, the period of greatest mortality occurred between the hours of one and eight a. m., that an extraordinary depression took place-in tue-houra between nine., and twelve "p. Mtaridthe iratibof "mortality was at its minimum. He then compared these statistics with 2,891 deaths from all causes, and the chart showed how remarkably the wave lines of death compared with those above. He then compared these diagrams with deaths from consumption, which, although they showed a general resemblance in the wave lines, yet between the hours of four and tight A." m. there was a depression when compared with the first four hours period. : v iHe then showed that small numbers are not sufficient for a 'Statistical truth, ' and he therefore urged upon bis provin cial brethren to assist him in his work by forwarding to him data for further investigation of this interesting subject. He contended that the tables on the chart proved the extraordinary mortality in the early hours of the morning, when the powers of life are at their lowest ebb, , and, strange to say, when the patient was most cared for. He urged the necessity of feeding and stimulating the patient at their weakest hour, so as to tide them over a critical period; and, even if death be inevitable, to so support the patient that he might at least have a few hours more of life snatched from eternity to admit of his being able to carry out some neglected duty, pardon some enemy,- or see , some beloved friend. He next urged upon

3 1 Uis professional brethren the importance

of teaching friends and nurses 'how to attend to those under their charge. . He concluded by saying that the subject itself required no apology for its introduction to the Association, however much the mode of its treatment might. He felt convinced that it was one which had occupied the attention of many of his bearers when tbey bad been watching hour by hour (the fitful change of disease in the persons dear to them, or or tnose to: wnom, as nurse, tbey had

desired conscentiously to do their duty. To simplify this duty and to claim their solicitude, at a time when either an excess of the one' or an ignorant neglect of the other might be fatal, was one of the main objects of this investigation; and he felt convinced,, however imperfectly be might have expressed bis opinion on the subject, that it is one of deep interest, not only, to his profession, but to the community at large. . - -

THE A SOLDIER ON , SEYMOUR. Gettysburg The Draft Riots In New. York , , The Lookout Mountain of Republik f i CBBUBI. . One of the speakers at the Grant and Colfax ratification meeting1 in Brooklyn, New "York, on Wednesday evening, the 15th inst , was - Lieutenant Governor Stewart L. Woodford, of New York, a brave and gallant soldier. r Some Democrats-present tried to hiss him down,: when he paid his respects to Horatio Seymour. in the following eloquent and truthful language : fr .'On the Fourth of July, 1863, when Governor of the State, he stood at the Academy of Music in New York, and in a most elaborate address apologised alike for slavery, the South, and rebellion. He had no word of cheer for the patient man who was bearing the nation's sor row in the capital. Applause. He had no word of encouragement for our gallant soldiers who that very hour were grappling with Lee in a life and death struggle, among the hills of Pennsylvania; nothing but icy sneers, but cold calculations, and but illy concealed sympathy with trt-aon You are right Thank God,' at the same hour 'Meade gave the lie1 to his ' eloquent sophistry, as he burled General Lee back in terrible defeat from Cemetery Hill and Round Top, at Gettysburg; and Grant's cannon made strange echo to his cowardly but concealed appeals for compromise and surrender, as Vicksburg fell, and Pemberton's host cast down their flags of defeat. Applause. ' At this point there were some indications of disturbance, when the speaker said it was a good sign when, so soon after a Democratic Convention, the devotees of that school r are finding-their way into the Democratic church.j A few short days passed, and on July 13th of the same year, the terrible draft riots broke out in New York city. Now I do not charge that Seymour did not seek to quell the riot.' But I do charge that I those riots .were, the natural, logical, j and .almost necessary results of. his speeches, his teachings, and his public official acts. It was the logic of his polished brain rooted and growing in the passion of the mob. And then when the storm had gathered, he addressed these maddened j brutalized rioters as ' his friends, and besought their patience by the plea that he had sent his Adjutant General to Washington to beg that the draft might be suspended. When the tidings ot these riots and Seymour's conduct and speech reached me with my regiment, I was toiling along . a dusty road of Maryland applause and hisses in pursuit of the retreating rebels. Fainting under the terrible heat, some falling and even dying by the wayside, our men were still pressing on. The loyal arms had been victorious at Gettysburg, and we had heard of glad news from Vicksburg. ' We were weary, but still we could see the victory drawing nigh.. Like thunder from a clear sky fell the tidings of this cowardly uprising of our own home against the Government and the flag. Strong men wept with shame and rage. Firm lips closed in a firmer wrath as they whispered the news down - the - ranks and muskets were grasped with vengeful feeling, such as we had not known before in skirmish or in battle. Could we have filed that day in Broadway there would have been a bloody reckoning,',, and short work would have been made of his Excellen ce's especial friends., Applause. We had left home to fight your battles, and we felt that you were bound to tax yourselves, if need be, to your last dollar, to pension our widows, to succor our wounded; and to feed our little ones. We were there just as much for your sakes as for our own, and we felt that when our ranks grew thin we bad a right to reinforcements, that you were bound in honor to send us your young men and your strong men, even if your old men and toys had to work in your fac tories, and the women; had to ; till the fields. We were terribly in earnest. We were fighting rebels. We meant to stand up to our work, and we very solemnly intended that you should stand squarely up to yours. Applause. How reverently we thanked God when the good Lincoln and the lion hearted Stanton said the draft should be enforced. Applanse. v" And how we cheered the soldiers who were sent from our midst to enforce the law and upheld the honor ofourflag against the Northern mob. You can now understand how we soldiers feel toward His - Excellency Horatio Seymour. In the hour of our sorrow and weariness he bad no encouragement for ns, no faith in our courage and no faith in final victory. Now, in our triumph, when ' the flag , streams out on every. breeze, and all our land is one again, we have no need for thee, Horatio Seymour. - Applause. Let Southern rebels shout thy praise; let the burners 'of orphan asylums, and the deserter and the skulker from the ' draft twine I

laurels, for thy brow; we"' will, stand by T the old flagman battle-searred, butVglo-' rious in 'victory whiie-we follow the great Captain of our armies, our own Ulysses Grant. Applause. At the battle of Lookout Mountain, as, following the line of fire, our surgeons climbed tip the hilly steep, they met four, soldiers coming' down and carrying in a blanket a shapeless mass. ' Laying' their burden tenderly down, they asked the doctor to look at their wounded .color sergeant. His shoulder and forearm had been torn away by .a shell. The surgeon knelt, and putting the hair back from his manly brow, asked, 'My brave fellow, where are you hit?' His eye unclosed for a moment, as he faintly answered, 'Almost at the top.' No, no, my good man, whereabouts are you wounded? Again his dying eye opened, again his dying 1 lips moved, as he whispered, I was almost at the top, bearing the flag, when the shell struck me. One moment more, and I should have been clear up.' He gave one gasp, and his brave spirit was gone forever. And so, dear friends, it is with us to day. We are almost at the top. In faith and love we have carried the dear old flag for four long years of struggle, until now we are above the clouds, lighting as Joe Hooker fought, up in the clear sunlight of absolute justice and righC Applause. Only once more pres3 up the mountain slope, and we shall plant our dear old flag clear up on the mountain top of a final victory for liberty and the rights' of men." -Loud and continued applause. From the Missouri Democrat: . A FALLEN STAR. The Democrats seem to have become disgusted with the nomination for President, and satisfied that the game was -lost, for nobody wanted to be Vice-Pres-ident but General Blair, and the whole convention was willing to "let the tail go with the hide." It must be confessed that they could not have done a better thing -for the radicals. If we can not beat Blair, the revolutionist, with bis' proposal to disperse State governments by armed force fresh in mind, we could not beat anybody. In this State, his nomination will add five thousand to our majority. Perhaps it may help the ticket in Kentucky and Maryland, but j we doubt it. ' ' " ! i General blair was once an honored : i i name in this State. Greater credit is given him elsewhere, it is true, for the course of Missouri in the early years of the struggle, than he really deserves, and yet, in kindly recollection of bis admitted services the radicals of this State have never cared to lessen respect which others might feel for him, and have regretted to see it lessened by his own conduct. Perhaps it is enough to point to the record. How much of influence General Blair ever, exerted is perhaps sufficiently shown by the fact that after he and his friends, the : Blair faction or Clay banks, choose to desert the Radical party, taat party, nevertheless moved on with solid front to more complete victories over the Democrats and Blair than it had ever won, with his aid, over the Democratic party alone. W bat the Radicale in this State have accomplished, they have done with General Blair, backed by the whole power of the Fedeaal administration, fighting them with all the desper ation of a ruined political gamester, For he is a political gambler, as reckless, and now in his ruin as desperate, as can be found anywhere in the land. Sober men in the East have asked, with if wonder, the revolu tionary letter recently printed could have possibly come from- Frank Blair. But those who know him better have long ago ceased to be surprised at the manifestations ! of a desperation which borders on political insanity. By his letter and his nomination, General Blair renders the only service now in his power to the party which he has so long tried to destroy. Long ago he learned that the proud boast, 'I made it; I can crush it !" was not easy of fulfillment. To-day, he has reached, that point that, in Missouri at least, he can help any party only by being a candidate against it. For that last service to the Radicals of Missouri, and for a letter which will tell the whole country what manner of man the Democrats have nominated for Vice-President, we heartily thank him. T ,The; Jamestown Journal tells of a gawky who saw for the first time a school girl going through some of her gymnastic exercises' for the amusement of the little ones at home. After gazing at her with looks of interest and cbmmisseration for a while, he asked a boy near by "if that gal had fits?" "No," replied the lad contemptuously, "that's eym nasties." Oh, 'tis bey," said Verdant, ''how long ha the had yem ?" - ; . , 7, The wife of a wood-chopper, living in Illinois, near Goose Island, gave birth to two boys and a girl a few days ago.

GOD'S, THY COUNTRY'S AND -TRUTH'S!",

ii' THEN AND NW.s r When the greenbacks were first issued by the government, the democrats treated them with the utmost contempt, and predicted the speedy arrival of the , day when they would he exchanged for potatoes bushel for bushel. Then the government was obliged to depend upon the greenbacks to pay and feed its armies who were fighting the rebels. It was therefore to the interest of treason, that' greenbacks should be depreciated and the people be made to believe that they would become utterly worthless. Then it was that , we saw democratic speakers at public meetings holding up gold pieces as the true democratic currency, and ridiculing the greenbacks as illegal, worthless, abolition rags. Now, greenbacks, once derided, have become tbe corner stone of the democratic financial policy. Illegal and worthless, though they were once held to be, the democracy now make greenbacks the great remedy for all our national pecuniary necessities. Now it is democratic to urge the issue of greenbacks by the hundreds of millions, in amount sufficient to pay off the National debt. There is no more showing of gold pieces, but on the contrary, democra's adopted the greenback as a party badge, and the Pendleton financial theo ry was represented by a greenback pinred to every member of the famous Escort. This change from gold to greenbacks must be observed by all the democrats. It is a dishonest change of course, and it means mischief to the whole country. Let the . present circulation of greenbacks be maintained without material increase, and in a few years they will command the gold on presentation. ' In crease the issue as the democrats propose, and they will indeed become almost worthless. , CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE'S REMORSE. A letter from Utica to the Chicago Tribune,' sketches the present status of the Chief Jnstice his wrongs and bU remorse. Unfortunately for him, his repentance comes too late. His amour with the Democracy has destroyed all confidence in bis honesty. "Judge Underwood, of Virginia, who is here in Utica to attend the commence ment of Hamilton College of which Horatio Seymour, Governor Hawley, Gerritt Smith and himself are graduates says that he has seen Chief Justice Chase since the Democratic nomination was made. Judge Underwood was a co-laborer with Mr. Chase in Virginia reconstruction, and is still friendly with him.' Mr. Chase expresses himself as a supporter of Grant and Colfax. T He states that the Democrats treated him with treachery and design, assuring him of the nomination at New York as a forgone matter, but asking his co opera, in little paragraphic points of platform, so that they might harmonize in convention, and not estrange the great minority of Western or. Brick Pomeroy Demo crats. Leading him so from admission to admission, they magnified and exagerated his relinquishments with the intent to bring his friends over to their nominee, while they should cast himself aside. The Chief Justice claims that the only interest he had in the Demo cratic nomination was to secure the per manence of universal suffrage by assisting the Democratic party to acknowl edge it. With the minority party moved up in charity nearly to the position of the majority, Mr. Chase believed that the suffrage could never be again assailed by , either. ,He seems , to have had a bellyful of Democratic professions, particularly of the kind that New York politicians give,- and in this campaign, going back to his cardinal humanities, has concluded to hate his last enemies the most. All this shows that justice has no business to tamper witn the scaless and perhaps Chase may be spitted with bis own steelyards. : When Jove makes a bid for. the vote of the frogs, JEsop has no fable severe enough to apply to him. It was on a similar occasion that the eagle, seeing that Esop had come to a place where bis art was inadequate, dropped a tortoise on the satirist's bald scalp and closed his literature. The American eagle has only the tortoise remedy for Mr. Chase. ' You men in the Mississippi Valley must get up early to beat these New York politicians. The Chases are poor rivals for the Van Burens. ;"" ' " ' ; '. ; : -J'r-- - The Douglas Democrats ' think it wonderfully strange that their standard bearer should be the same Frank Blair who denounced them in such unmeasured terms in the speeches which he made in Indiana daring the campaign of 1860, when be branded the Democracy as a " vile, 'miserable party, " and ? abused Douglas and Hendricks so fiercely that Voorhees called him (Blair) the "prince of blackguards."

' No matter ' what double tongned utterances - Mr. Seymour may deliver, were he President he would necessarily select his Cabinet from the prominent members of the Con vention to whom be is specially indebted : for bis, nomination. Foremost among these would be Clement L. Vallandigham of Ohio, who seconded bis nomination' on behalf of the Ohio delegation, and from the first worked for it and against Pendleton. Vallandigham, in view of his rank as a hero and a martyr of the peace cause during the temporary subjugation of the Democratic party, ought to bo Seymour's Secretary of State. George H. Pendleton would undoubtedly be his Secretary of the Treasury. A portion of his Cabinet should be selected from the Southern States, and probably no appointment would be more in harmony with Mr. Seymour's views than that of Wade Hampton or N. B. Forrest or Gen Beauregard for Secretary of War. Jerry Black, Mr. Buchanan's Attorney General, who discovered by bis explorations of the Constitution that though a Stale has no right to secede nobody has the right " to prevent it, might return to the Cabinet as AttorneyGeneral Raphael Semmes, the gallant commander of the Alabama, .would be rewarded for his services to the cause of our merchant marine by being made Secretary of the Navy. .", We have some doubts whether the post of Secretary ofthe Interior would belong more properly to Howell Cobb or Brick Pomeroy. The untimely : death of the lamented J.Wilkes Booth limits the choice of the new Administration for Postmaster-General, and the sudden decease of Captain Wirtz renders the selection for this va-. cancy still more.embarassing.V There would still remain the first-class diplo matic positions, but the discussion these would at present be premature. of IjETTER FROM GEN. GRANT. -General Grant was tendered a public reception by the City Council and the citizens of Leavenworth, Kansas. He declined the honor in the following sensible letter : St. Louis, Missouri, -) Tuesday, July 14, 1868.J Hon. C. R- Morehead, Jr., Mayor of Leavenworth, Kansas : . ; Dear Sir: Your, favor of the 11th inst, inclosing resolutions of the Council of Leavenworth City extending to me a public reception, and asking when I shall be in your city, is received. I expect to leave this city for Leavenworth in the train which starts in the afternoon to morrow. I will probably be in Leavenworth one day, at the quarters of Gen. Sherman, when I will be happy to meet all the citizens of Leavenworth who may do me the honor to call. But allow me to decline a public reception. I fully appreciate the compliment conveyed in the resolution which you forward, and thank the City Council and citizens for it; but while traveling for recreation, and to inspect personally a country with which I have so much to do aad have never seen, I would much prefer avoiding public demonstrations. Believing that you and the citizens of Leavenworth, to whom I reiterate my thanks, will fully appreciate this feeling, and the motive which induces me to decline this proffered kindness, I subscribe myself, : : Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, U. S. Grant. SOME FACTS. The Democratic orators and presses have expended volumes of abuse upon the Republican party for violations of the Constitution, yet their national Convention did not denounce secession, which was intended to overthrow the entire Constitution. , ,, :. Tbey have denounced the Republican; party because it has been in favor of protecting American industry against foreign manufactures, yet they adopted a platform in favor of "incidental protection." They have always proclaimed themselves a "hard money" party, yet they declare in favor of an overwhelming issue of paper money. They declare themselves "the white man's party," yet they recieved "Hon. Joe Williams," a negro delegate from Tennessee, and invited Mr. Quigley and Mr. Wade, two black negroes from the South, to make ratification speeches for the 'Democracy1 in New York, and in Mississippi they elected a 'nigger' to the State Senate. s t , They have declared themselves sympathisers with the. working men, yet there is not a law on the statute books of any State, passed by a Democratic Legislature promoting the interests of workingmen, while every law of that kind that exists was the work of The Republican party. " " " ; ' Some of "the Democratic papers are trying hard to explain why Mr. Seymour addressed the New .York rioters as "My friends." But the reason is. plain enough; they were bis friends. , . , An appropriate design for a Seymour illumination a colored orphan asylum on fire. ::;',it ,. ; 77 ; r ,u ,7
