Andnow, because we have not found it in our province to grow frantic over the refusal of Mr. Boyd to permit Mr, Wood- bey to sit in the parquet, it is intimated that the Republican is weak in the faith, The fact Is that every one of the men to whom the Republican refers has never failed to exert his influence in be- helf of clvil rights, That the negro ls not accorded his constitutional rights in Canrer HARrIsON has at last been ccunted frr as mayor of Chicago by a ma- jorlty of 375.

Tue Philadelphin Record confesses that it never regarded General Logan as & “model man,"” but on his re-election to the United States senate from Illinols it could not forbear paying him the fol. low!ing compliment: Heis a manly antagonist; there is in his composition neither hypocrisy nor cant, and in a period when men in public life without his ability or his opportunities have amassed great fortunes he remains honorably poor, It is also to be said to his credit, that during tho last few years he has given gratifying sions of growth and brondening of mind while his condust during and since the recent presidential campaign has been that of an American gentleman, who honestly aspired to high office n the gift of his fellow-citizens, and received their adverse verdict with man- liness and decency. Jerr Davis has crawled out of his shell long encugh to intimate that ke does not express a very hopeful view of our fature as the respoct, love and ven— eration for the constitutlon which ani- mated a citlzen of the United States before the war have now departed from our people, and that the system of gov- ernment erected by our forefathers ex- isted only in neme. It ia safe to say that the great msjority of our people have more respect for the constitation than Jeff Davis ever entertalned. If he had been trled under that cons'itution, he perhaps would have known more of his fature than he does now. Taz epldemic of tumbling buildings has not abated in the least.

SEVERAL tests during the last few year have shown that ocean steaniships have a 82lldity and power of reslstance which is simply wonderful. The bow of the City of Rome is as perfcct in ehape and appearance as before it crashed through land banks, and many people on the steamship haraly felt the collision, so solid and massive was the vessel’s con- struction. The damage sustained by the City of Berlin, when the steamer rushed falrly against an iceberg a few days ago, proves to have been very slight, and of the ship, although the force of the colllsfon was terrible.

That is _a good deal better than loafiog around waiting for the hens to Iay.

In China there nsed to be a system of fues whereby consu's received $1 each for shipping railors, but since Col.

In his free and easy way the tall sycamore asked questions that the witness resented, 80 1t seemed, for though inqulry after inquiry was propounded not the alightest sign of attentlon came from the witness box, Mr, Vooorhees became impatlent and his questions grew a little snappy. Not a bit more effect was pro- duced. Flnaliy, in dire exaspetation, he demanded In his own all-sweeplng ora- torical way whether or not he was going to be answered or not.

For some time past Murtin bas been rooming at Jcsaph Hilleke's house, No. 1224 Dodge street, and Officer Bur- dish, who Is on day duty In that section of town, became convinced from what bo saw of 1he fellow’s move- menta and &ctions at varl, timen that he was not straight, by a long ways. Yesterday Officer Burdish followed Mar- tln into Hilleke's house, intending to look thrcugh his spartments. When Bardish went in Martin ran out and made a bold dash down tho street, apparently eatlafied that he had been cor- nered snd was compelled to make his escape by flaelng, or be captured, which he was anyway. The officer gave chaso and fired two shots after Mattin before he haulted and per- milted himeelf to be arrested. He was taken to headquartera, arraignod before Judge Stenberg, ¢nd in default of 1,000 ball was sent up to the county jail, where he will await the actlon of the grand jury. In the meautlme s rearch hsd been made throvgh Martin’s room and the cflicers secured qulte an involce of plunder, which ;was at hesdquerters as evidenco againat the prisoner Among the articles were pinety silk handker- chiefs and two atockings filled with fine jewelry. Where it all came from is not known, but the supposition is that Martin has beon stealing wherever he went, and accumulated the goods in tkat way. - — LINCOLN'S MONUMENT, Said to he Crumbling Away—Fatlle Efforts to Repair it, A correspondent who recently visited Lincoln monument at Springfield, under which sleepa the body of the great eman- cipater, avera that it {s in a lamentable state. Thers is no reason to believe that it i3 geivg to fall down right away, but he declares that fate is certelnly in store for 1It. Repairs may main- taln the place for years, but Im- portant parts of the structure have twice fallen away. The kegstone of one of Its important arches {s wedged with bits of pine weod, which decaying, cauzed 1t to be rebuilt, The chambers under the terrace are filled with wooden bracer. This important support was never held except by a few avgle irons, and they so small avd far apart that the seams have broken open, the supports tot- ter and the immedlate satety of the en tlre ttracture is threatened. Repaits were ordered, and the whola east end' of the terrace was taken down and replaced. ‘When the statuary came to ke placed on the pillars designed for 1t, they wece found to have In:ufficlent bearing to trust the bronzes upon, and they wera required to be rebullt. Now the west chember, or wing of the terrace, is going the same way. The monument was constructed under the auspices of the National Lincola Monument asociation, Governor Oglesby beifng president. Funds wera contributed by the soldiers and eallors of tha United States to the amount of $27,000, Of that sum_ §8 000 was raleed by the colored soldiers, Several thousand Sunday school scholars gave 20,000, This s'ate in two appropriations paid 877 000, New Ycrk $10,000, Missouri $1,000, California $500 and enough to make up §200,000 was secured by mis- cellaneous contrlbutions. An association was formed at the etate capltal several weeks ago to keep the monument in re- peir, but no active steps have been faken to that end, and it Is doubtful from the nature of the decay whether it can ba stoppad. —— Wounds in Animals, There are two principal methods, writes an English veterinary surgoon, by which wounds are repaired. 'The first of these, and the more faverable of the two, is the method termed by sargoons healicg by the first intention. Under favorable clrcumstances this takes place in an in- cized wour.d when the cut surfaces are brought carefully together and maintained In close contact after bleecing has ceased. The two surfaces then become cemented together by the formatlon of & thin tuter- mediate layer of new tissue, The other principal mode of repair is heallng by the second intention. That is what takes place in large incised wounds when the cut surfaces can not be brought and matntsined in opposition, and it s the Invariable method of repair in punctured and lacerated wounds. Here the gap in the texture becomes filled up by the growth of new material taking place from the bottom of the wound, while a new skin grows inwards from the edge f the wound. This skin, however, {5 not ex- actly elmilar to the natural healthy skin from which 1t extends, being thin. ner, more delicate, and withont soy bar, A third and much rarer process of heal- ing in wounds {s what Is termed Immedi- ate unfon. In this, It is sald, the divided surfaces being brought Into acourate con- tact unite without the Intermediate growth of any new texture. It {s ques- tionable if such is really ths case, bat it la certaln that sometimes In small wounds the cut surf; when placed together unite so speedily and exactly that no scar is left, In an inclsed wound treat- menc in the first instance should be di- rected toward favoring unlon by the first intentlon. The essentlals for tgll are--4 sound constltution on the part of the ani- mal, accurate and close contact with the Ity feoe the branches, The trees were set out | one of the chlef witnesses on the other | dividea surface, snd the sbsence of in- st fall, flammation In the wound. Without man’s Interference this process would teldom or never ensue in the lower animals, for in all wounds except the emallest the cut surfaces gspe apart unless some means be adopted to keep them together. The means commonly adopted by surgeons for this purpose are the spplication of strips of plaster across the surface of the wound, or the passing of sutures through its edge. In adopting the former plan, o few strips, accordiog to the length of the wound, should be applied at inter- vals; but the entlre surface should never be entirely coveren by the plaster. The sureaces, moreover, should not be brought together until bleeding bas been arrested, for should a clod of blood be effused into the wound 1t would prevent healing by this method, Satures are simply stitohes uzed to tle or sew the edges or surface of a wound together, a3 thread, horeehalr, cat-gut, and wire, Nothiog farther ueed be Elld about the application of these, since their icsertion into a wound should always be left to a veterlvary surgeon. In s punctured or a coniused or lac:rated wound, where the surfaced can not be maintalned together, or where Inflammation ensues in sush a price, 23c., Resolvent, §1, wound, then the treatment must bo that favorable by healing by the second Inten- tion, Inflammation, shown by redness, s olling, and groat tenderncss of the edges of the wound, should bs combatted by sssldcous bathirg with hot water, In a contused and Inoerated wound, such as “broken knecs,” particles of tand and other foreign mat'er must be oarefully and lightly spunged from the eurface; In punctured weunds, or stabs, it must be made certain that nothlog remsins in the bottom of the woun?; and in all classes of wounds heallog in this way proviston must be made to allow thoe discharge from the wound a ready escap. With the last object it {s often neces- sary, In a punctared wound, to enlarge the opening, or to make what Is called a *‘counter.opening’—that ls, cno running from the surface upward to the deepoest part of the wound, The necersity for a free escape from the punctured wound is seen In the case of “‘pricka” «f the feot. There are genorally simple in their effocts if the track of the nall be carefully tol- lowed and enlarged; but if not, the nail- bolo fa apt to bocome obstracted, and prove ivsoflicient for the escipe of the d'scharge from the wound. In that case tha dlscharge accumu'ates within the hoof, and gradual'y forces its way to- ward the surface, in the dlrestion of lenst rosistance, and honce ceases to burat out at the top of the hoof. In all wounds unlon is promoted by patling the part at rest. In the case of sush large animals o8 the hcrso this is slways extremely difficalt; and eometimes it may be neces- sary to put the animal in slings. Healthy wounda are seldom much ben- efitted by the application «f lotions or ointmeuts. When the wound is of small 81z it I8 best to leave it uncuvered; and tf it bs In summer {t wmay bo emeared with zine cintment or with foity parts of olive oil to ore of carbollc acid. 1In large wouuds the surfice should be lightly cov- ered with a cloth kept wet with a eolu- tlon of carbolic acld In forty parts of water. When a wound shows what la calied *‘proud flash” it should be rubbed over at 1is most prominent part with sul- phate of copper (bluestone), cr washed with a eolution contalning two ounces cf suger to a plut-bottle of water, ———— —A match game of base ball was played y esterday afternoon, on Farnam street, oppo- te the court house, by the U.
