This is the boiling down of forty hos

down the hill a little from Howard Univer
sity. in the middle of a wide lawn covered
with grass and beds of flowers and large
trees.
And a few days ago we had the rare
privilege of going with General Howard
throOgh the wards and around among the
poor old bodies lounging upon benches in
the sun shin.
I
thought you'd done forgot us," said
one wrinkled crone with a white turban
wound about her head.
"Oh, no I didn't forget you," he replied,
"but they have been investigating me at
the Capital because I built a little hospital
for you, and I've been very busy."
"I knows you done) got the better of
'em," returned the old woman triumph..
antly. "I'se Geo. Doward's maul" she
added with a chuckle "and you are sure
you won't forget these yere r'
"I won't forget you. But if I should,
there is One that never will. Do you
know Who it is?"
"Yes sar, up thar," she replied, turtling
er eyes upward.
"How are you, today?" asked the
General, passing up to another old ems
lure, who eat on a chair beside her bed.
"I'se drefful poorly; I'se had a real
bad night," said she, brightning into a
smile as she took the offered left band.
"When you can't sbep you ruust pray
to Jesus. Do you pray ?"
"Yes, sar. I tries to pray as well as I
knows how," said she.-
"But do you know how. If you can ask
for bread when you. are hungry, you can
pray. And Jesus will take care of you if
you ask Him,"
"I will, I'll remember," said the old
woman, devoutly.
Presently we came to a man sitting on a
stool in the sunshine. An old man, wrin
kled as a mummy, with tufts of white
wool on his head, and a vacant look of
imbecile age in his dim eyes.
"You are enjoying this fine weather,
aren't you 2" said General Howard, hold
ing out his hand.
The old man muttered some vague re
ply.
What is your name?" asked the Gen-
"Robert Jackson."
"And do you know my name?"
"General Howard. I sees you down in
Virgimny," replied the negro, lighting up
a little.
"Bo you did.. And now I want to know
'if you love Jesus?"
"I tries to best I eatt,'. replied the old
"Do you think Jesus loves you?" asked
the General.
"I think so," answered the negro doubt..
fully.
"But don't you know he does?" asked
General Howard,
"I specs he does if I'm good," replied
the man after a little reflection.
"He loves you even though you are not
good. Ile has always loved and remem
bered you," said the General, tenderly.
The old man looked about feebly. "I
must try tarbe good," he said. _
"So you mast, that is right," said Gen
eral Howard with a good bye smile.
Then we went to see a woman named
Pagie, who sat in a large rocking chair
propped with pillows. Her head was
drawn upon her breast and her body
twisted by rheumatism. She •could'move
only her hands and eyes and Ups, but she

LOCAL 'OPTION.
In glancing over the resolutions of boil
the Democratic and Republican County
Conventions, I noticed an ommis.sion, it
my judgment, on one of the most import
ant topics of the day—one which lies close
to the heart of many of our best citizens.
The subjects of damages and "nine Mil
lion steal" were duly noted and acted
upon, but the fact that the voice of WO,-
' 000 petitioners call for a local option bill
was altogether over looked, or entirely
disregarded. This was an over sight that
is altogether inexcusable if we look, either
at the fairness of the measure, or magni
tude of the cause, whether the friends of
that measure will allow such couduct to
pass unrebuked, remains to be seen. I
spoke of the fairness of the measure. It
is in the highest tiense democratic and iu
perfect accord with the principles of our
government. As prohibitionists we elairci
that the evils of the license system are too
intolerable to be borne, but we are willing
that the majority shoed rule, and we only
ask that the citizens of every city, bor
ough or township shall have the privilege,
if they desire it, of determining for them
selves whether they will have license (lino
license. Certainly nothing can be more
fair than this. We can ask no less and
the ruin power plainly shows.iis atter dis
regard for all justice and right by its op
position. It may be well for politicians
to remember that there a.e a few that can
be temperance , nun on election day, and
their number is increasing.

A SHOWER OF LIZARDS.
A few evening's ago our town was vis
ited by the first rain which has fallen for
three months. It seemed, since the Ist
of May, that the "dry season" of the
early years had returned, and that we
were again to have Summer without a
drop of rain. The rain, however, though
grateful and welcome, was not much of a
surprise; but connected with it was a
phenomenon without precedent in this
section, unexplained by any of our phil
osophers, nothing more nor less than a
shower of water lizards. Over all the
Western part of the town, particularly
round the opera house, they were found in
great numbers, and of every length from
two to eight inches. In looking over the
ground to-day we found a number already
quite dried up; and we note with surprise
there is so little substance in them as to I
leave nothing more than a mere skeleton.
The greatest number seems to have fal
len on Judge Spicer's premises. His celAar,
lately dug, previously dry as a powder
house, contained several inches of water lit
erally alive with these singular creatures.
The Judge fished up some forty of the
largest ones, and has them alive in a water
tank near his house, where the curious
may inspect them. On examination we
found them to have boneless limbs, and
and bodies very soft and "mushy;" they
are quite lively in the water, but Soon get
dry, dull and inactive when laid out on
the ground. They more nearly resemble
the reptile known in the Northwest as the
"mud-puppy," than any other we have
seen; their color is a dull brown. with
bright spots, and their general make-up
in other respects places them in the siredom
class. The usual theory of "toad showers"
is that the numerous toads seen after a
Wererain were really in the ground and
Were drawn out by the moisture; but that
explanation is Cut oil iu this case by
facts; First, that these are clearly water
reptiles and die in a few minutes on dry
Lind. Second, the ground has been so
hard and dry that soft-bodied reptiles
could not have pqnetrated it. The walls
of Judge Spicer's cellar ou Saturday a 1
ternoon were as solid as a brick wal
Another singular fact is that numbers of
the reptiles were found in the rain barrel
where they could not have crawled. One
gentleman informs us that he collected two
hundred in a small puddle on Colorado
strvet, We noticed the dried remains of
one which was seven inches in length,
yet would not weigh an ounce.
TIUS PRUSSIAN GOVRRNNERNT. The
form of gOvernment of Prussia proper is
that of a constitutional monarchy, herecli
tarp in the male line of the house of Ho
henzollern. The conutitntion, formed in
1848, vests the executive and pait of the
legislative authority in the King. In the
executive branch he is assisted by a council
of ministers appointed by himself. The
