An OssIaed Man,

There was a strange spectacle at the depot
yesterday--a man OF whom accounts were
published years ago in newspapers in this
country, and in medical journals in England,
who has been in state almost complete oss-
ieation for thirty years His name is Valen-
tine Perkins. He was born tiftytwo years
since in Henrietta, Monroe county, New
York, but has been resident, for the last
twelve years, of MaRtua, Portage county,
Ohio.
At the age Of elevei years be was thrown
from horse, and his knee was injured by the
fall From that time ossiRcation set in, and
the process made advancement joint by joint,
for fifteen years, when il had completed It's
work, He s thoroughly and totally oss6ed,
with the exception that he can move two oi
his toes. He has not opened his Jaws for
more than thirty years, but still he can talk
with ease.
OF course he has to be fed-the food being
placed within his lips and lefl under the gut
dance OF mother nature, who mysteriously
ensures its safe conduct into the stomach. BE
lies apon his side, upon low bed or couch
which serves also as litter. with his feet
drawn up somewhat, aud his right hand
caught up near his shoulder, lies thus all day

twenty four hours, when he is turned over on
the other side. While he is thus completely

ever, to the touch of any object as that of a
Rv or hair, than is usually the case, When
the light strikes the skin OF his hands or face
il looks like marble Of ysllowish tinge
brought up to the highest possible state ol
polish He lies there on his coach like re-
cumbent statue.
His health is good he has an excellent ap.

The Democracy and the Future.

The Democracy and The Future.
There May he Democrats who grow
faint-bearted and despuiring because OF two
successive defeats at the Presidential elsc-
ton, and, looking to the means employed
by our opponents, expect force and fraud
to carry all succeeding elections. We do
not share in this dependency but on the
contrary, look for Democratic triumph in
the future, just as surely as we look for the
rise of to-merrow's sun. If the Republ-
cans have succeeded by uhwsrrsntable
means in retaining possession of the Gov
ernment, it is because they have succeeded
in inducing the majority of the people,
for the time being, to sustain them in so
doing, The power is still with the people.
1t must remain there. No set of rulers
can succeed in retaining position against
their viii And justs sure as men are
reasonable beings, Just so sure will there
come a revulsion in public opinion in this
country, which win consign the present
rule to obscurity or to infamy. The time

in numbers so resolved and overwhelming
as to put to scorn the frauds or the bay.
