the medical faculty to solve the problem and
produce cure. 1t is possible that under
some conditions she might, by virtue of her
clalrYoyant power, prepare the way to her
own restoration. Hitherto the family have
guarded the invalid from intrusion and ex.
pertinent, and though they are willing that
men OF science may profit by observation in
her case, they are very properly unwilling
to subject her to trials which may as well be
avoided. Recently she has received some
nourlshment, but the physicians declare that
1t cannot be called such, although as the at
tempt has been made, we state the fact to
prevent any charge of overdrawing this pic
ture of human suffering.
The whole subject is important, and when
the incredulous have become convinced that
tnere is woman living in the metropolitan
circuit who has existed for four months with
out moving, sleeping. eating or drinking, we
may add further facts Of interests to aid the
cause of science.
We will simply add in closing that the
trance intowhich the patient fell commenced
at Christmas, and continued for twenty
days. During the time she was, to all ap-
pearance, dead but she came to herself
somewhat improved, SO far as can be judged.
The eminent physician in attendance on her
says that she may now be considered as re.
ceiying some food, although it is his opinion
that for nine months she has existed totally
without nourishment. In due time he will
probably give full report of the case, upon
which at present he has no opinion to offer.

Incredible Parental Cruelty.

We doubt that if in the entire annals of
brutalized humanity anything so terribly
brutal and heartless was ever recorded as
the case we give below. Thomas Blackburn,
living in Middletown, or West Columbus.
when ne left the army, married, it is said, a
widow with one child, little girl now
about seven years. He and his wife have,
Tor long time past, pursued system of
beating and torturing this poor little thing,
the like of which was never before known.
They had systematic arrangement, SEEM
lngly, by which the tortures were never to
be ceased, the mother beating her during
the day, and the step-father continuing it at
night
On one occasion, for some little act of dis
obedience, the mother whipped her with a
rolling-pin, and, because the child cried out
loud this she-deyil roasted the child's hands
upon the red-hot stove until the flesh was
charred black to the bone. The father COM
ing home that same night whipped her moss
brutally for moaning, and; because she cried
choked her dumb.
For some three or four weeks the neigh
bcrs have had their suspicious that all was
not right in the family of Blackburn. and
that they were trying to murder the child,
though nothing could be learned from her,
for her mouth was closed through fear. On
Saturday this suspicion of wrong became
certainty, and some of the humane ladies Of
the neighborhood determined on an investi.
CATION during the absence of the father
The result was the arrest of the parents and
the developments above given.
The appearance Of the poor little thing is
horrible. Not an inch of its body has es-
capped, and exhibits mass OF sores, scars
and welts, and the slightest movement
causes excruciating pain. When Marshal
Murphy, who arrested Blackburn, was NOV.
ing the child to the Sisters Hospital,
where it now is, he was obliged to get a
woman to carry it in her arms. Its condi-
ton was such that it could not endure even
the jolting of the carriage.
So indignant were the citizens Of Middle.
town, when the fearful truth was made pub
lic that Blackburn escaped narrowly a we'll
merited death at their hands. As it is, they
left marks of their honest indignation upon
his body that he will carry to his grave.
Blackburn was formerly Lieutenant in
the Third Ohio Cavalry - Columbus o.

DRUNKENNEss.-The most foolish predica-
ment man can get into is to get drunk. In
drunkenness every man shows his strongest
and most ardent passion. There are six
kinds of drunkards, and if you will 60 into
city drinking place, where there are a
dozen men under the influence Of liquor,
you will be sure to find these six different
characters, representing different animals.
The first is ape drunk He leaps, and
yells, and dances, making all sorts of grim
aces, and cutting up all sorts of monkey
shines, to excite the laughter of his fellows |
Terribly silly is the drunken clown.
The second is tiger drunk. He breaks
the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the
heads of fellow carousers, and is full of
blood and thunder. His eyes are fired with
vengeance and his soul raves with murder
and fury. Of this sort are those who abuse
their families.
The third is hog drunk. lie rolls in the
dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts, and,
going into the streets, makes his bed in the
first ditch or filthy corner he may happen to
fall into. He is heavy, lampish, and sleepy,
and cries in grunting way for little more
to drink.
The fourth is puppy drunk. He will weep
for kindness, and whine his love and hug
you in his arms, and kiss you with his slob-
berry lips, and proclaim how much he loves,
you are the best man he ever saw, and he
will lay down his money or his life for you.
The fifth is owl-drunk. lie is wise in his
own conceit. No man must differ with him
for his word is law. lie is true in politics,
and all matter must be taken as authority
His arm is the strongest, his voice the sweet
est and his horse the feetest, his turnips are
the largest, and his town the fuest of all in
the land.
The sixth and last animal in the menagerit
is the fox drunk man. lie is crafty, ready
to trade horses and cheat if he can. Keer
to strike bargain. leering around with low
cunning, peeking through cracks, listening
under the caves. watching for some suspi
cious thing, sly as fox, and sneaking as
WOLF He is the meanest drunkard OF then
all.

THE AUSTRIAN ARNY.-The Vienna Ga.
zette calculates that, as the result of the new
military system adopted in Austria, the army
will amount to 1900, 900 men, of whom oOO.-
900 will be on the active list, and the residus
in the first and second reserves. The present
population cf Austria numbers about 3d.
500. .0O0 of which 16, 100000 are males, and
of these probably about half are between the
ares of sixteen and sixty. But of this num-
Der 5000, 900 adult men under sixty years OF
ape. about one. fourth would be incapacitated
for military service. There are, therefore.
G. 600 900 men to furnish an active army of
800, go, which is more than one seventh of
all the available men. and larger proper

One GLASS OF WINE.-The Duke of
Orleans the Oldest son of King Louis
Philippe, was the inheritor of whatever
rights the royal family could transmit. He
was noble young man-physically and in
telectually noble. One morning he invited
few companions with him, as he was about
to take his departure from Paris to join his
regiment. In the convivality of the hour
he drank too much wine. He did not be-
come intoxicated he was not in any respect
a dissipated man. His character was lofty
and noble. But in that joyous hour he
drank a glass too much. He lost the bal
ance Of his body and his mind. Bidding
adieu to his companions, he entered the car
riage But for that extra glass of wine he
would have kept his seat. He leaped from
the carriage. But for that extra glass of
wine he would have alighted on his feet
His head struck the pavement. Senseless,
bleeding, he was taken into beer shop and
died. That extra glass of wine overthrow
the Orleans dynasty, confscated their prop
erty of one hundred millions of dollars, and
sent the whole family into exile.

A DETERMINED SUIcIDE-Adam CASHIER,
80 years of age, a native of Germany, COM
mtted suicide in New York, on February
18th. He had been i'll for some days, and
on the afternoon of the 18th his wife went to
his room to arrange the bed, and while
bending over her husband, he kissed her
and then threw a rope over her head, and
finally succeeded in tying her hand and foot.
As Mr.. CASHIER was evidently preparing for
some dreadful act the terrified wife screamed
for help, when several of the neighbors hur
ried to the scene. CASHIER then fourished a
pistol, and threatened to shoot any one who
attempted to interfere. One of the women,
however, succeeded in rescuing Mrs. CASHIER,
when the husband shut and fastened the
door, and commenced breaking the furniture.
The police were summoned, and they broke
open the door and found the deceased on the
floor quite dead, he having shot himself
through the head.
