"I presume, doctor, there are many sorrowful scenes which present themselves in your profession," I remarked to the surgeon of our regiment, as I spent an evening in his tent, while we were in camp. "Yes, indeed," he replied, with an air of nonchalance. "Eut, then, captain, you are a soldier, and you know how a fellow will get used to most anything. You do not shudder now ' at seeing dead men lying around loose as you used to do, do you?" 1 j "Well, no," I replied, "that is too true." "I remember one incident in my life, when a student of medicine in a New York college," continued the doctor, "that has never been erased i fiom my memory. It is full a quar- c ter of a century since it occurred, and 1 yet I remember it well. I would to I Heaven it could pass from my mind, t "War is full of horrors." continued 2 the doctor, "and I have been in hos- c pitals where the shrieks of the i wounded and the groans of the dying t mingled, and went about my ">usi- 1' ness almost as the weaver listens to 5 the sound of his looms. But this is i a. story of the dead-room, where no i sound is heard but the sharpening of t the scalpel and the almost noiseless Iread of the surgeon. r "Among the professors iu the med- t leal college at that time was Dr. F?, r >n English surgeon. He was a man \ jf brilliant attainments, both as a r k scholar and as a surgeon. c "He was probably sixty years of t age, and had no family, a!; least he r aever spoke of one. Why he left his f native land, and why he hardly ever i smiled, no one seemed to know, and i probably no one cared to ask. We, I as students, naid our money for a v knowleJge of medicine and surgery, ind did cot trouble ourselves about :he history of those who taught us. "The winter season of lectures had sommencad, and students from nearly 2verv section of the United States were in the city to attend them. Subjects for dissection were required, and sometimes, like other articles in the market, the supply exceeded the demand, and at other times the dead" room was short. Body-snatchers were employed at the current rates, and were paid for the bodies furnished by the law of supply and demand. Subjects were scarce and in demand the winter I have named, and prices rose accordingly. "I happened in the English professor's room one morning to examine a medical work that required my at- \ tention. A gentle rap came on the door, and the doctor said, 'Walk in.' i "I knew the visitor and his calling 1 \ at a glance. His soulless eyes glanced y \ caunousiy arounu me room, ana men he asked, in a whisper: 44 'All right, doctor?' ? w 'Yes; one of my students,' re v plied the surgeon. 9 " 'Have a fresh stiff, doctor. Found F it floating in the harbor at daylight ; this morning. Female, about fifty, I and good form. From an English vessel, no doubt.' 44 'What is the price?" asked the I surgeon. 4* Cannot deliver it at the college for less than a hundred," was the reply. 44 'Too much,' answered th3 surgeon. 'You are above the market.' 44 'Sorry we cannot agree,' said the man, with a scowl; 'but the fact is, doctor, no class of individuals, takes such risks and work as hard for our money as us fellers, and mostly for the benefit of science.' "He was about to depart wheu the ! surgeon called him back. " 'Make it seventy-five and you can bring the subject.' " 'Sorry, doctor, but I can't. You ' see, Jim and I is in partnership in this stiff, as he happened in the beat . with me, and when we come to divide ] the matter it will be only fifty each. ; We honestly earned every cent we ! ' ask.' | " 'Well,' replied the surgeon, 'bring i the subject to the dead-room to-night, I and your price shall be paid.' < "The following clay the professor ( auiivu uv^u iU IliO LUUl UUlg IUllU; t I ' that a fine female subject had been i obtained, and that in the afternoon he should dissect it in their presence and for their benefit in the science of obstetrics.

There w ip no dissection this afternoon. Lea he room. To-morrow meet me he usual hour." "What became of the dead body lever learned. It was removed tt light?by whom and where to w lever known by us. The surgeon a! lisappeared that night, and never c :ered the college again. What I :ame of him aiways remained a m; ery.

I / SHERIFF PiTMETT SLAINf Man Who Killed "Silly the Kid" Shot by New Mexican. Wayne Brazle Surrenders to Sheriff ai:d Says He Killed Famous Ranger in Sclf-Defense. Santa Fe, New Mexico. ? Patrick F. Garrett, until two years ago Collector of Customs at El Paso, Texas, was shot and killed near Las Cruces, New Mexico, by Wayne Brazle, son o" an old settler. Garrett was the slayer of the notorious "Billy the Kid" In 1880. He served as Captain of Texas Rangers and Sheriff of Dona Ana County. He was a personal friend of President Roosevelt. After the shooting Brazle rode five miles to Las Cruces and surrendered to Sheriff Lucero. Ha said he had shot in self-defense, and that he had not drawn a gun until after Garrett had reached for his shotgun. The , i?i Si ? quarrai ublwccu uaucii. auu u>um started over a ranch that had been leased by Garrett to Brazle, and on which he had pastured a herd of goats. Garrett remonstrated with his lessee, and declared that goat pasturing was fn vlola^on of the contract between them. He threatened to resort to the courts to prevent what he thought a breach of contract, and the men quarreled. . Garrett was Sheriff in Lincoln County, New Mexico, thirty years ago, and his campaign against cattle rustlers was replete with dashing arrests and bloody encounters with the cattle thieves. The best known of his exploits was the killing, while an officer of the law, of "Billy the Kid," who after kill?*?g, according to some reports, twoscore of men, was lodged in the Territorial penitentiary, only to escape. Garrett took up the hunt for the outlaw, and found him in Dona Ana County. Garrett managed to secret himself in a house where "The Kid" was to rendezvous, and as the outlaw stepped into the place with his gun drawn Garrett proved to be the quicker on the trigger. Garrett used to say, after passing through a perilous experience, that he would die with his boots on. norro+t first annearftd in New Mex Ico in 1878, and went to Lincoln County, where he engaged in ranching and cattle raising. He soon gained a reputation as a cowboy, and in 1830 he was elected Sheriff of Lincoln County. Later Garrett moved to Dona Ana County, where he served two terms as Sheriff. Garrett was later a Captain" of Rangers in Texas, and did much to help make the reputation for fearlessness which the Texas RangerB then had. '' . . * *"ANDY" HAMILTON FOUND DEAD. Former Yellow Dog Fond Custodian Died at Albany, N. Y. Albany, N. Y.?The picturesque career of a man whose influence had been felt in legislation in this State and in many other States for many years was ended when "Judge" Andy Hamilton died in his home in this city. Death was due to heart failure and he was found dead in bed by ono of the servants. His health had been failing since last July, when his wife died, but he tried to hide his grief ber fore his friends and outwardly he was congenial and cheerful. Wherever the insurance interests were threatened there Hamilton went or sent his representatives.
