A Precedent.

The Radicals in the Congressional
Rump assign one reasen for their refusal
to receive the Kentucky members, viz
That in their opinion they are not loyal.
This is setting good precedent fer the
Democrats, if they choose to follow it
when they have the majority. Under
this test of loyalty what Radical Rcppbli-
can could pass musterY Under their in.
depreciation Of the Constitution, and OF
the legal right Of Congress, we shall have
a pretty wide margin in the future upon
which to act, and they may find that their
logic cuts both ways with equal effect
1t is only necessary to remember the pre-.
cedent they have set, and by.and.by it
may have an application its originators
little dreamed Of, but which would be,
nevertheless, perfectly legitimate. Evil
preccdeuts are like curses, they often
come homo to roost, as our Republican
friends will discover,

The Soldier VS., The Rondlold-

The soldier who spilled his blood in
defense Of the country, and risked his
life in her defense, was considered we'll
paid if he obtained bis compensation in
greanbacks. But now the advocates Of
the favored aud exclusive class tell us
that 1t we'll never do to pay those who
lent money to the Government in green
backs, although that was the kind of
money they lent the Government. The
debt Of the bondholders, they say, is a
higher and more sacred ono than that of
tho soldiersl Legal,tcnders are good
enough for the latter, but nothing except
gold will do for the aristocratic bond
holders A monetary obligation, in their
estimation, is more precious than blood,
aud risk Of property moro sacred than
q risk Of life! Do The soldiers believe
this 7 Is not the currency they were
paid in good enough for anybody Eng.

A Splendid Description.

On one occasion, one Paul Denton, O
Methodist preacher in Texas, advertised
barbecue, with better liquor than is
usually furnished. When the people as.
sembled, a desperate in the crowd cried
out, "Mr. Paul Denton, your reverence
has lied. You promised nos only good
barbecue, but better liquor. Where's the
liquor ?"
"There " answered the missionary, in
tones of thunder, and pointing his long,
bony finger at the matchlcss double spring
gushing up two strong columns, with q
sound like shout of joy from the bosom
Of the earth. "There p he repeated.
with look terrible as lightning, while
his enemy actually trembled at his feet
"there is the liquor which God, the Eter
nal, brews for all his children"
"Not in the simnering still, over smo.
ky fires chOked with poisonous gasses,
and surrounded with the stencil Of sick, !,
ening odors and corruption, doth your
Father in heaven prepare the precious es
sence of life, pure cold water. But in
the glade and grassy dell, whefe the red
deer wanders and the child loves to play;
there God brews it and down, low down
in the deepest valley, where the fountain
murmurs and the rills sing and high up
in the mountain tops, where the naked
granite glitters like gold in the sun, where
storm clouds brood aud tho thunder
storms crash, and out, out on the wide
wide sea, where the hurricane howls mu
sic, and the big waves roll the chorus
sweeping the march of God-thore He
brews it-teverage OF life, heal.h-giving

beauty, cleaning in the dew drop, sing

ice gem, till they seem turned to living
jewels; spreading golden vein over the
setting sun, or white gauze around the
midnight moon, sporting in the cataract
sleeping in the GLACIER, dancing in lbt

softly around the wlntry world, and weav

The Sleeping Girl-A Physi-
$50 clans Opinion. al.


Mr.. EDIToR--At your request I vii
give you some of the particulars OF til,
sleeping wonder, Miss ..Susan G.. Godsa
l visited her for the frat time on the 27tl
Of June last .o as
First. She is always in motion (some
thing like sleeping shaking palsy.)
She awoke few minutes after our ar
rival, and remained SO eight minutes, du
ring which time she took mouthful o
refreshments. She said nothing unless
it was in answer to such questions as were
put to her by some Of our party, which
she did with sufficient clearness. Hel
physical developement is good enough
complexion sallow; hair black; head
large and we'll developed. The Other
parts of her body are not SO well devel
oped her hands and feet are very small
she is of medium height While was
putting questions to her she went to sleer
in the twinkling Of an eye, aud slept two
hours and fifteen minutes, then awoke in
kind of convlsion. She is not aware Of
any misery or pain while asleep, and hal
no dreams-if she has, does not remem
Der them in short, she is totally dead Il
all sensations Of pain or pleasure Will,
asleep.
When awake she is always ir greaJ
pain, which she generally locates in hol
head, left side, and the small Of her back
can't lie on her left side. l tried tC
count the pulse, but owing to the inces
SAINT motion Of her arms 1 failed. Coult
barely discover the pulse. When sh,
again wentto sleep she lay in this condi
tion three minutes Then commenced
to hiccup at every respiration; raising he,
head a little at each hiccup, till her CHR
was brought down to her collar-bone,
little to the left Of the median line
Then her neck became timber, and hel
head instantly fell back to. the pillow
This lasted from half to three-quarter,
of a minute. Then she would appear t,
cramp for few seconds, and then sh,
was as before. She kept up continued
series of the above described symptoms
alternating from one to another in regu
lar succession for two hours and fifteer
minutes, when she awoke, took refresh
ments, answered questions as before, ant
in ten minutes was sound asleep, ant

Miss Godsa has been diseased in thi
way for the last fifteen years. Ten year
ago her symptoms became more aggrava
ted, and have changed but little since.
AS l expect to prepare a full report Of
this remarkable case in detail soon fol
the medical world, l will say nothing
more. Respectfully,
W. D CORBET.
P. S.-She has never been known tc
remain awake longer than ten minutes Al
a time in the last ten years.
