Innpertant Discovery i'm Embalmtng

A. very interesting experiment was
brought to light yesterday afternoon,
in the post norton room at Bellevue
Hospital Medical College. For some
months past a gentleman Of this city
has, been experimenting with a view Of
perfecting anew process of embalming,
and one which might entirely do away
with the process now used-that of re,
moving the thoracio and abdominal
viscera, and injecting through the ar
teries and veins the fluid used fen ar
resting decomposition, which process
caused greater or less degree of mu-
tilation, and was at all times, repug-
nant to the friends of the deceased.
For this purpose the inventor secured
the body of woman who died Februa-
ry Is, and who, at the time his expert
ment began, had been dead five days.
Yesterday afternoon an autopsy was
made on the body-seventy-two days
after death-and nowhere was there to
be found any sign of decomposition.
The brain, heart, stomach, and intes-
tines were SUCCESSFULLY examined, and
all found to, be in perfect state of pre-
servation, while the external appear
ance was iifelike to degree that was
startling. The examination was made
by DR.. Janeway, superintended by Pro
lessor Stephen H. Smith, of Bellevue
College, and was witnessed by very
critical audience, who were loud in their
congratulations en the ssccess of the
experiment. Among those present
were the following professional gentle
men, together with number OF report
crs and others: Professors Steven Ii.
Smith, l.. \. Sayre, G. Ogden Doremus,
Drs. J. Peters, Lucy NJ. Abbott. Gordon
Buck, J. Shrady, w. 5. Gonley, J. NJ.
Hamilton, Stearns, Susan Jexeblakc.
The method by which this body was
preserved is SO simple as 10 do away
with the skill of the surgeon an anatom-
Isl, being nothing more than a
wash which. can. be applied by any per
son of ordinary intelligence, and which,
in addition to its preseryative powers,
is also proof against contaglon.
After the autopsy Professors Dore-
mus and Sayre made u few remarks
congratulating the inventor, Mr.. w. K.
Clark, upon the success Of his invcn-
ton and experiment, after which the
meeting adjourned, all being highly
pleased at what they had witnessed.

TEST Your KEROSENE. - Under this

Of the many lamp explosions resulting
almost invaribly from the use of bad
kerosene, urges the Importance of test.
ing their oil before use in lamp. This,
it says, may be readily done by any
man, woman or child, by means of a
thermometer, little warm water and
a tablespoonful of the oil. Fill the cup
with water the temperature of which
is to be brought to LILO degrees Fab
rcnhcit Pour the oil on the water;
apply O flame to the floating oil by
match or otherwise. If the oil is un-
safe it will take fire, and its use in
lamp is dangerous, for it is liable to
explode. But if the oil is safe and good,
it will not take fire. Ii is worthy of
remembrance, too, that ALL persons who
sell kerosene that will not stand the
fire test at Ito degrees are liable to
prosecution.

KEEP The BiETHpAYs.-Wc are glad
to find the following going the rounds OF
curexchangcs. EverythinGthat makes
the years of childhood happy, and never
to be forgotten in later life, with its
own resources of perfect sympathy and
10Y, is to be cherished, as a. very pre-
cious thing:
Keep the birthdays rligiousIy.
They belong exclusively To, and are
treasured among, the sweetest memoir
los of home. Do not let anything pre-
vent some token, be it ever So light, 10
show that it is remembered. Birthdays
are great events to children. For one
day they feel that they are heroes.
The especial pudding is made expressly
for them; new jacket, OF trowscrs
with pockets, or the first pair of boots
are donned; and big brothers and sis
tors sink into insignificanee beside lit
tie Charlie" who is six to-day;' and is
soon "going to be man." Fathers
who have half dozen little ones to
care for, are apt to neglect birthdays;
they come too. often-somctimcs when
they arc busy, and sometimes when
they are nervous;;' but if they only
knew how much souvenirs are cherish
ed by the children years after, they
would never permit any cause to step
between them and a parents privilege"

The Governor also issues the following
manifesto:
"Whereas Notwithstanding the executive
proclamation of September Ia, 1868, many
lawless acts have occurred in violation
thereof whereby the lives and property of
citizens have been destroyed, the right Of
free speech impaired, the performance of
the duties Of Offices to which citizens have
been elected denied, the lives Of citizens go
threatened as to cause them to abandon
their homes and property; and whereas
protection of persons and property is the
paramount duty Of government and should
be impartial and complete and whereas
the sheriff Of each county is by law charged
with the preservation of life, property, and
peace in each county:
"Now, therefore, I, Rufus S. Bullock,
Governor and commander-in-chief of the
army and navy of the State Of Georgia and of
the militia thereof, do hereby issue this my
proclamation, charging and commanding
said sheriffs and each and every other civil
officer in every county in the State to gee
to it that the lives and property Of all citi-
zens and the peace of the community are
preserved, and that all persons are pro-
tected in the free exercise Of their
civil and political rights and privi-
leges, and charge upon every person
resident in this State that they render
prompt and willing obedience to sheriffs
and other civil officers under all circum-
stances whatsoever, and that they demand
from said officers protection when threat
ened or disturbed in person or property, OF
denial of political or civil rights; and that,
failing to receive such protection, they re-
port the facts to this department"

WASHINGTON, October Captain Mills's
report of the Camilla affair devolopes no
new facts. 1t concludes:
"From what I could learn, the colored
people and whites were peacefully dis
posed toward each other. In my investi-
cation of this matter | was materially as
sisted by Major Howard, and upon my ar
rival ut Camilla, the citizens of that place
appeared DESTROYS that the occurrences of
the 10th of September should be investi
gated. Up to the date of my visit here, no
action had been taken by the civil authori-
ties of the county, nor had any inquest
been held over the bodies of those killed"
General Howard endorses General Sib-
ley's report to Secretary Schofeld as fol-
lows
Sir,-I have the honor to forward to you
the affidavits sent me by General Sibley
with regard to the Camilla riot. The Gene
raj says "that no action whatever has been
taken by the civil authorities at this date
October g. toward bringing the guilty par
ties to punishment, and no inquest was held
upon the bodies nor investigation had, ex-
cept by this Bureau and by Captain Mills,
under the orders of the commanding officer
of the district of Georgia, whose report has
been forwarded to the commanding officer of
the Department of the South" He further
says, 'It is not believed possible to bring
the guilty parties to punishment through
the civil authorities Of Mitchell county,
they being engaged in the affair and justi-
flying it, and no unbiased jury could be
found in that county,"
General Sibley makes no further remarks
which relate to this riot, but simply sub
mits the affidavits, together with private
letter from an officer in that county, who
makes special request Of him that it be
NOT nuhlishnd
