A SIEeULAE CAsE-The Fort Wayne
(Ind. Gazette gives the following account of
the recovery Of his speech and hearing by a
boy named Stanley Marshall, who lost both
in consequence of an attack of lung fever
about a year and half ago
A week or ten days ago, George Flovda and
others, who had for some time before taken
a good deal Of interest in the boy, conceived
the idea of restoring his hearing by means
of some violent shock. They fred a pistol
over his head, and within few inches Of
his ear, but it made no impression. Some
one told him that a liberal use of LIQUOR
would cure him, and, taking a notion to try
the experiment., last Monday afternoon he
pawned his poeket-book for glass of whis-
ky. Mr.. Lloyd coming in and finding him
tipsy, determined to carry the experiment
further, and giving him more whisky, until
he was quite drunk, and then commenced
a rubbing and shaking that shortly resulted
IN return of hearing. He rubbed the ears
of the boy until the skin was brOkes, and
shook him until he was almost as tired of
the exercise as the boy was, or rather would
have been If sober. Suddenly something
seemed TO break loose in his chest or throat
There was report like the popping of a
cork from bottle of mineral water, and the
boy called Lloyd fool the first word
he had spoken for over year. He soon be-
gan TO talk. more freely, his speech coming
back In broken accents like those of child
He went to bed quite sick that night, and
woke ur next morning quite stiff and sore
from the harsh treatment of the day before,
but able to talk and hear nearly as we'll as
ever. The boy says that when his speech
returned it seemed as if weight was lifted
from his lungs-he felt as if something in
! him had "busted" and got in both ears.

grevous wrong TO the Cretans, and reflects
dishonor on the great contracting powers of
Europe. Crete suffered her first great wrong
wrong out of which all this trouble has
sprung-when she was handed over by the
allied powers to the Viceroy of Egypt in 1880.
Matters were not mended when, after ten
years OF misrule, she was restored to the
ottoman Government in 1910. The majority
of the population are Greek and Christian.
Their sympathies are all with the Greeks of
the kingdom, their brethren by race and by
religion. When the independency of Greece
was guaranteed in 1881, Crete ought to have
been included; and the neglect of the rights of
the Cretans at that time must remain a strik-
ing illustration of the selfish and unprinciped
character of European diplomacy during the
first half Of the nineteenth century. 1t is
difficult to believe that the European Govern
ments have been indifferent to the heroic
struggle which the Cretans have maintained
against their Turkish masters during the last
twelve months.
Nothing, we have reason to believe, but the
unsatisfactory condition of the Greek king
dom has prevented them from Jointly insist
ing on the annexation of the island to Greece.
The lonian Islands, so recently and so gene
rously handed over by England to the Greek
Government, are, it is now notorious, relapsing
into anarchy and misrule Greece, whatever
the cause, has hitherto proved herself sadly
wanting in recuperatiye energy. It has not
been uniformly and jointly insisted upon by
the great powers that Crete should be trans
ferred from the Government of the Porte to the
Government of the Greek kingdom, because it
has not been clear that Crete would benefit by
the change. 1t may be difficult to say what
it is best to do with the unhappy islanders,
under the circumstances; but it is now no
longer doubtful that the time has fully come
when the great powers ought to interfere
to prevent this unnecessary and wholesale
butchery.

A Session OF Congress in July.

There is now probability of an extra ses-
sion of Congress in July. 1t is reported that
Senator Wade and the leading Congressman
and other Republicans with him in the excur-
sion party telegraphed General Schenok, Of
the Congressional Committee at Washington,
to advise all Republican members to be present
in July. Other movements as we'll in the Re-
publican party and among its leaders show
that there is a desire, if not fixed purpose
to have a session at that time. The object is
said to be to remove all legal distractions to
the reconstruction of the Rebel States, thus
evidently referring to the official opinions of
the Attorney General as tending to obstruct
reconstruction. We think it very unfortu-
nate that the work of reconstruction, which
was going on well, and promising early resto-
ration to the South should be retarded either
by the action of the military commanders or
by the legal quibbling Of the Executive.
1t would be much better to have reconstruc-
ton accomplished under the present acts with
out any further action by Congress, and by the
time Congress would assemble in December;
but if there are distractions in the way we
hope that body will promptly remove them.
Early reconstruction is the great necessity of
the country. Commerce, the industrial in
terests of the country the national finances,
political harmOny-all demand speedy restora-
ton. There is, however, another question
scarcely less urgently demanding the attention
of Congress, and that is in regard to the
national banks. The condition of these insti-
tutions, and the trouble they will bring upon
the country if permitted to exist, call for imme-
diate attention. If there be an extra session in
July the reconstruction matter can soon be dis
posed OF, and then we hope Congress will pro-
ceed to overhaul the national banks and repeal
the act creating them.

tend, the telegraph says, with the understand
ing that the business shall be restricted to the
consideration of amendments to the Recon-
struction acts, rendered necessary by the
statements Of the Attorney General He will
not attend if impeachment and other extreme
projects are to be topics of discussion. Such
a limitation would prevent the exciting and
injurious effects which must otherwise attend
a summer session, while it will in no respect
hinder full and conclusive action in regard to
the powers of the military commanders and the
operation Of the reconstruction scheme.

The 1nsurreetionary War in Crete

From Lte Herald.
Since the extinction of Poland, through the
combined action of Russia, Austria, and Prus-
sia, no greater wrong has been perpetrated or
permitted in Europe than that which is now
being committed in Crete. No one can deny
the right Of government TO strive to put down
rebellion within the circle of its own sove-
Teignty. 1t is not for us, after the struggle
Through which we have recently passed, to
deny that right. 1t is extremely difficult to
determine how long the insurrectionary strug-
gle must be prolonged before the party in re-
bellion are entitled to the support and protec-
zion of the neighboring States and nations.
Four years of practical Independence did not
reconcile us to the thought of interference in
any shape or form by other nations in favor OF
the South. The Cretan struggle has lasted
scarcely a year. Unless, therefore, Crete is to
be considered an exceptional case, It is difficult
10 show reason why Turkey should desist in
her endeavors to put down the rebellion in
that island. Crete, however, is an exceptional
case, and it is precisely for this reason we say
that the continuance of this struggle is a
