An extraordinary medical case is re-
ported in New Orleans. A young Ger
man fell from a platform about four
months ago, receiving injuries which
were pronounced fatal. Instead Of dy-
ing in an hour or two, as vas to be
expected, he continued to live. The
left half of his skull was broken in many
places, COMPRISING the brain his eyes
protruded, resting on his cheek bones,
became FIVE times their natural size aud
as black as a coal. His head was twice
its normal size, the upper portion OF his
body black aud blue and inssnsible
to feeling. The neurapathy treatment
Of DR.. John Chapman, of London, was
adopted. This consists Of applying
heat and cold alternately to the whole
length of the spine. At the end of a
month the patients body resumed its
usual color, he recovered the use Of his
tongue, and although his mind did not
recover its former tone, he became fully
conscious of his condition. The most
extraordinary feature Of the case is the
fact that recollection was knocked out
Of him by the horrible accident. It is
impossible to communicate to him any
idea, object or name. It took him three
weeks to learn his own name. He has
learned to say I" hat" ''mule. "dog,"
and bids fair to build up a new memory
in time-if he has any at all.

A SIsrER's OATH oF VENGEANCE
The New Albany (Ind.) Commercial Ad-
r~ertiser, describing the scene after the
lynchiug of the Reno Brothers and An
derson, says:
"After the bodies had been laid out
on the floor in the Jail hall, the wives of
two of the men and Miss Reno, the Sis
ter of the three brothers, were permitted
to enter the hall to take their last look
at those who, although covered with
crime, were in their lives all the world
to them. The outburst Of grief endsd,
the quiet Of despair settled upon the
faces of the women. But not long did
one of them remain under the burden.
The sister of the Reno brothers, an in
telligent and handsome young lady,
dried her eyes with her handkerchief,
then taking the g~rief-stained piece OF
linen she placed it over the face of Will
liam-who to the last declared his inno-
cencs ; then she knseled beside the
dead man and laid her left hand upon
his heart, and raising her right hand to-
ward heaven, she took this terrible
oath 'oh |! my poor murdered brother,
may God curse your sister il she ayenge
not your death terribly and fully. This
l will do, so help me God !" What a
tragic scene was this-thc dark, strong
walls on all sides, and the cold stone
floor under her knees-the sable gar
merits of the bereaved sister, the pale
face turned upwards and the white hand
pointing heavenward What q tableau
of death, despair, love and revenge!

A GAMBLING LAw.-The present Leg
i~slsture is likely to take some action on
passing a gambling law, and on which
subject the Carson Appeal 'noratcs" as
follows, in referring to the Governors
Message:
Attention is directed to the evil custom OF
gaming. The Governor would like, in COM
mon with all good, moral men, to see it
stopped. Certainly: why not? Because,
the stopping Of it being an impossibility, it
had better be made to yield a revenue by
subjscting the dealers Of gambling games to
good stout license fee. You license whis-
Ky s~elling-the very root and prime cause Of
gambling and adultery, and then refuse to Ii
cense faro banks and and houses of i'll fame.
This is like licensing a race track and forbid
ding horse racing. Don't let US get too thin
skinned about banking games" until some
thing is done to correct the abuses Of that
whirlpool Of gambling, the Stock Board.
You might as justly indict John Doe for
'selling short" as to arraign Richard Roe
for taking his chances with "the Tiger"

PAYMENT FOR LIBBY PRISON.

-
After the rebellion was put down, and
upon the capture Of Richmond, the
United States took possession of that
monument of misery, Libby Prison, and
kept possession of it for some time for
military purposes. The infamous mem
cries connected with the building, and
the outrages which had been perps-
trated against the soldiers Of the Union
army in that vile place, rendered its use
Us a prison for rebels o just return for
the injury which had been done there
to our patriotic and noble sons The
owner, no doubt, gave it to the rebel
lion with gladness, and highly approved
of the outrages which had been there
committed but as soo as the United
States became possessor Of the place OF
signs, he became earnestly, increasingly
and "constitutionally" clamcrous for
payment for the rent Of his property.
Under the administration of u patriotic
Executive his demands would be mar
rowly considered and closely weighed,
but the tendency of the Andrew John
son dynasty is so strongly in favor OF
the pro-rebel element in the South, that
o tender desire to do all that can be
done for the benefit of any one who was
a traitor, is a matter Of course. This is
the reason why it has been necessary to
offer q resolution in the Senate re-
curing information as to whether it is
intended to pay money for the use OF
Libby Prison, and if so, under what
circumstances? There ought to be a
full investigation into this matter.
