It may be said, perhaps, that every
incident of a man's life has power to
make him either better or worse; but this
must be especially true of tragical expe
riences, of infrequent occurrence ith
most of us, but distressingly common to
soldiers engaged in aotual warfare.
Scenes like the following, described by
Major Small in his history of the Six

some permanent impression upon the
beholder.

THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BUSI

IBy United Press.
Fort Dodgi, Iowa, June 14. The
citizens of Dayton, Iowa, have taken
the snppession of the "Original Pack
age" business into their own hands. A
couple of weeks ago, a branch of this
industry was established there.
Although the town Is strongly in fa

to oheck the now legalized traffio nntil
a five-year-old boy boy was seen toddling
around the street in a state of intoxica

might and told the "original package"
man that he must go. The agent thought
It wise not to disobey the order and has
closed up his place of business and taken
bis departure.
ing, so eloquent ! And I had no power
to answer could only ask where he was
wounded.
"Don't talk to me, please," he said.
A moment after he touched his breast,
and I saw there was not a chance for
him.
When asked if he was not afraid to
die, he answered, "No; I am glad I am
through. Oh ! I hope this will end the
war; will it i
I asked him whether he was a Chris
tian, and he began to make some answer
bnt a sudden spasm of pain closed his
eyes.
I could not bear to leave him, and had
just put my face down close to his when
he kuddenly opened his eves. I shall
never forget their unearthly beauty, and
the sweet, trusting expression which
overspread his face, as he said to me
with a motion as if he would throw his
arms around my neck, "I am going home
good-by I"
I did weep; I could not help it. I do
notrecollet his name; he may not have
told me. I only remember that boy from
the Sixteenth Maine carried him to t he
field hospital because they wan te I to
do so, although they top, saw it was

FOR SUPERIOR COURT CLERK.
W. R. Allen, Esq., of Wayne, En
dorsed and Urged lor the Place.
Special Cor. State Chronicle.
The name of W. R, Allen, Esq., of
Wayne;' will be presented to the Judi
cial convention of tne ourtn district,
which will meet at Smithfield, July 1st,
and his friends will ask for him the
nomination forjudge of the district.
He is a lawyer of fine legal attain
m elite, of whom the late Chief Justice
Smith used to say that no lawyer who
appeared before the Supreme Court pre
pared and argued his cases more ably.
He has kept up with his profession, is
well versed in the statutes and familiar
with the'decisions of our courts. He is
a learned and able lawyer, and so recog
nized by the bar of the district.
He is peculiarly qualified for the du
ties of theoffie, having an eminently ju
dicial mind, firm, candid and impartial
and a fairness that has long delighted
his professional brethren. No attorney
or suitor in any court presided over by
him would ever have occasion to com
plain of unfairness or the exhibition of
bad temper.
But above all this Mr. Allen is a man
of the highest character. Scrupulously,
honest and honorable, no breath of sus
picion has ever touched his reputation,
and he has the perfect confidence of the
community in which he lives, and of
every one who knows him.
With Allen for judge,the people of the
district could watch with satisfaction his
career upon the bench, with the assur
ance that he would always conduct him
self as becomes one found worthy to oc
cupy that important and dignified po
sition. W.

once the self revelation of both God and
man, and the world is smitten with
blindness, the sun is gone from its orbit;
and what oracle is there left to tell us
what we are, whence we came or where
we are goiDg? Can there, in all reason,
be any other fate than atheism, pessim
ism or suicide for the race outside of the
Christian conception of the development
of character? It is Christianity or des
pair. The capacity to apply the christian
conception of education is the measure
of the power of any institution. If in
stitutions are useful in spite of this oon
ception they are so only by virtue of the
reflex influences from association with
christianized institutions and lives. The
great heart of this policy must be thrill
ed with the christian idea before the
sciences and the arts can be brought into
the liberty needed for their culture.
What is more despicable than a scien
tific bigotry protesting against the lib
erty which others use in matters of faith?
There is absolutely no balance to scien
tific intolerance outside of the christian
conception of culture. There is no mid
dle way between God and no God. The
tendency of university or higher educa
tion is the tendency of the individuals
that pursue it, and if other aims prepos
sess the policy of an institution, its
teachers and its students, then what can
be the tendency of such an education?
We plead not for the non-thinkers, the
non-doable, but for what is demanded in

characteristics of which are intensity of
