A STRANGE AFFAIR.
The Case of the Girl near Burlington
who has been i'm a Trance fer TWen-
fy DayS.

The Case of the Girl near Burlington
who has been i'm a Trance fer TWen-
II Days,
A number of our city physicians went
out to Burlington yesterday to investigate
the case of child which for twenty
days has been In trance. The case Is
pronounced one of the most renarka Dle
that ever came under the notice OF meii-
cal faculty, and there is little wonder
that it creates something OF an sensa
ton. In the report of the affair pub
lished in the Wisconsin, of yesterday, we
had not sufficient details to explain the
case thoroughly. bnt are enabled to do so
to-day from the lips of person who has
seen the child.
A little daughter, twelve years of age,
named Nina, of Christian Rausch.
German living about one and half
miles from Burlington Racine county, in
this State, had a severe attack of Measles
and diptheria She had nearly recovered
from the attack on the Sth day OF Jan.
when she called her father to her side
and told him that she was going to sleep
and that she would sleep for Il long time
She said she should look as though she
was dead, but she would not be dead
and she made the father promise that
he would not bury her. which promise II
may readily be supposed has been faith
fully kept Soon after making the re-
quest, the child to al appearance sank
quietly and peacefully into her last sleep.
By all it was supposed that Nina Vas
dead and the body was enshroudad aud
placed in coffin. After the sleep the
body showed no signs Of death. although
the pulse and the heart ceased to per
AL ~ IL
could show that the respiratory organs
were in use. The eyes closed
In this state Nina has laid now for
twenty days without sign of life and
with no sign of death, other than the
sinking OF the cheeks and eyes. which
would be natural with one who had tas c
for SO long . period.
Three DAYS ago vein was tapped and
blood flowed as naturally as it would in a
living person. \ blister raised en- the
flesh precisely as it wonli on that OF one
alive. A neighbor Of IIr, Rau,ch told
cur reporter that he pressed finger on
the hanl of the girl. Her flesh WA
solid and, upon taking away the finger on
the spot was white. In Il few seconds
the color came again, precisely as it
would If the flesh Of 4 living person
were pressed in the same manner.
Under these clrcl Ii stances 1t Is reason
able for parents and friends to believe
shat the child lies IN trance, and there
Is little wonder thai the case is attracting

THE TRIBUNE.
ON THE DEATH OF GILBERT CARY.

By E. L. TERRY.
Now its ended, all is over
See the weeping mourners come,
Dka> Mother, Father, Friend and Neghbor,
To the death incumbercd ROOM
Runs no more the circling river.
Warming, Frightening every part.
There It's slumbering, cold forever
In poor Gilbert's silent heart.
Stricken Mother weep not over him,
He who kuoweth all things best,
On the wings of Death hath borne him,
To the graveyards peaceful rest
Earthly Father weep not DER him,
Though your home seems sad and lone,
May your life bark reach tie haven,
Where death and parting are unknown
Though the skies seem dark above thee,
Before is all a trackless waste,
Ask God's.aid seek His instruction,
He will thy deliverauce haste.
Seek him now make no delaying,
he will hear thy contrite sigh,
Hark, 0 hear his spirit saying,
"This the way" the guide is nigh.
Do not ask that he wouldst tighten,
All the coll DER lifes dark way,
Only ask that he would'st brighten
Their darkness, with giimmering ray.
Trust the Savior, if before thee,
The angel OF His presence go,
You will not shrink, though clouds are DER thee
And round thee gathered alany a foe.
Youthful friends, have done with mourning,
Life is like the; morning dew.
Social ties, sweet, SO binding,
You must bid fond adeu.
A the summer flowers around US,
Only blossom to decay,
So Gilbert-bloomed awhile among you,
Only to be torn away.
Lord thou knowest the earth is dreary
For thou hast trod its thorny maze,
Gdide us through its war derings weary,
Keep US forever in tn ways,

Lead us through life that adorng
May praise thee n eternity.

Waiting.

In Washington, the other day, the
Republican Committee decided that ne
groes should not be admitted to the reg
ulsr Inauguration ball, except. as. WAIT
ERs.
: 1t always happens so.
Every time a Radical is asked to vote
for negro he advises the negro to wait
not to push lis claims yet-that the
public mind is not exactly ready.
That is TO say, the Radicals accord
more WAIT to the negro's demand for
Office, privilege, and place, than is some
times tasteful to Cuffee.
Cuffee is man and brother, no less
for all that-iSn't he?
Some months ago, the State of Iowa
voted negro equality. Some weeks ago
in that same State, negro juror was
regularly drawn, with other citizens
and Radical judge ordered him out Of
the jury.box, saying, "The election was
q complimentary affair, not intended to
confer actual benefits, and it is presump-
tuous for any negro to claim place or
position white men only are fit to fill."
The negro juror waits.
Menard, a negro, was elected to con.
gress from Louisiana aud the Radicals
maneuvered him out of his seat. He
has gone back home-to wait.
The Iowa Radical judge thinks Cuffee
ought to wait.
The Inauguration Committee are Of
the same opinion.
Mernard got the same advice in Wash
ington.
And why not?
Waiting is a sweet privilege to the
negro; and he appreciates it. He is
grateful for the advice. He loves his
Radical lords-licks the sweet Radical
hands that lash him-whines approving
ingly to the Radical master that orders
him to vote for Radical oficers-and
thanks the Radical for the glorious
privilege of WAITING.
Will Cuffee NEVER see how this thing
is going?
