Our leader to-day is the same
which was introduced to the read
ers of The CLARION this present
month two years. On reviewing
it by the light of the experience
we have since had, we do not lind
a syllable that we would alter.
What was prediction then, is
reality noqo. Then we saw through
a glass darkly. Now face to face.
The essence of the article was
that the government which had
acquired the power to establish
negro suffrage in the Southern
States had exercised it. and there
was no remedy against the execu-
ton of Its Judgment, and that a
due regard by the whites Of these
States for their own safety abso-
lutely demanded that they should
not resign to political adventures
and enemies the control Of thi:
powerful agent, else it would bt
used prejudicially to the welfare
| of the whole. We had not re
commended the Incorporation o.
this element into our politica
system ; but we recognized th'
fact of its establishment, disagree
able as we felt the duty to be
and beseeched our people not t.
treat it with sullen Indifference
nor in aspirit of revenge toward
the new suffragan, but on tn
contrary, by kind treatment ant
friendly admonition to blaze on
the way he should go.
This is the advice we gave tw'
years ago. 1t is repeated wit
emphasis now:

PREMATURE BrRIAL.-A paper in All
the Year Round speaks Of the many
cases Of premature burial which occur
during the prevalence of cholera. It
says among other things that "Dr.
Londe states as an acknowledged fact
that patients pronounced dead of chol-
era have been repeatedly seen to move
one or more of their limbs after death. .
Mr. Searle, an English surgeon, has
often remarked this fact and DIR.
Veyrat, of the Bath establishment
AK Savoy, succeeded In resuscitating
a young woman after she had apparent
" been dead for nearly three davs.-
Apropos of the subject of premature
burial, of which many people have a
horror not altogether unreasonable, it
may be well to state that French doc
tor has recently invented a process by
which it may be determined with abso-
lutte certainty whether q person sup
posed to be dead is so or not. Bella
donna dropped on the living eye al
ways causes dilation of the pupil, while
on the dead eye it has no effect. A
camera with the ordinary Photographic
paper, which is ruled with delicate
lines, is placed over the eye undergo
ing examination. The paper is unroll-
ed from spindle for ten or fifteen
minutes, at the expiration of which
time, if no variation in the size Of the
photograph of the pupil can be detect
ed, the subject is known to be dead.

A MYsrERY CLEARED UP.
MARK TWAIN" EXPLAINS A SENSATION PRESS
TELEGRAM.

In recent number of the Cleveland
Herald, Mark Twain says
Ex-Secretary Stanton had an inter
view with Secretary Fish yesterday -
Sensation Telegram Of 1,e associated
Press
l was present at the interview. The
subject of it was warts.
Ex-Secretary Stanton said that when
he was q boy he had sixteen ON his
left hand and two on his right thumb,
and one on his elbow. He said he
used to hunt for old hollow stnmps
with rain water standing III them to
soak his warts in.
Secretary Fish said he had million
of warts when he was a boy, and some
times he split bean and tied it over a
wart, and then took the bean and bur-
led it at midnight in the crossroads in
the dark of the moon.
Ex-Secretary Stanton said he tried
that, but it never worked.
Secretary Fish said he could not re-
member that it worked he remcm-
bered t--,.;;::..1c, it good many times and
in the most unquestioning gooo.faith.
Ex-Secretary Stanton said his usual
plan was to run needle through the
wart and then hold the end of the nee
die In the candle till it warmed the
wart to that degree that it would never
take an interest in the worlds follies
and yanities any more forever.
-ecretary Fish said he thought he
was the wartiest boy that ever
At this inopportune moment cx-
Secretary Stanton's carriage was an
nounced and he arose and took his
leave. The next Associated Press dis
patch that distressed the people
through the columns of every newspa-
per in America read as follows:
The subject of the interview between
ex-Secretary Stanton and Secretary
Fish has not transpired. There ARE
various rumors flying. It is generally
believed that it referred to the alabama
question, and was very important.
And yet they were only talking about
warts.
Hereafter when I see vague Asso
ciated Press dispatches, stating thai
Jones called on the Secretary of the
Interior last night, or Smith had ar
interview with the Attorney General
or Brown was closetcd with the Presi
dent until late hour yesterday even

used to be. I shall feel certain tha
they are only talking about warts o.

fire my interest again with one of those
dispatches, unless they state what th'
interview was about,

MARRIAGE. Marriage is to woman,
at once, the happiest and the saddest
event of her life; it is the promise of
future bliss, raised on the death of al
present enjoyment. She quits her
home, her parents, her companions,
her occupations, her amusements-
everything on which she has heretofore
depended for comfort, for affection.
for kindness, for pleasure. The pa
rents, by whose advice she has been
guided, the sister to whom she dared
to impart every embryo of thought
and feeling, the brother who has played
with her, by turns the counsellor and
and the counselled, and the younger
children, to whom she has heretofore
been the motherand the play
mate, oil to be oil forsaken; at
the one fell stroke every former tie
is loosened, the spring of every hope
and action is to be changed and yet
she flies with Joy into the untrodden
path before. buoyed up by the conf
dence of requited love, she bids fond
and grateful adieu to the life that is
past, and turns with excited hopes and
Joyous anticipations of the happiness
to come. Then woe to the man who
can blight such hope-Who can treach-
erously lure such heart from its
peaceful enjoyment, and the watchful
protection at home-who can, coward
ike, break the illusions that have won
her, and destroy the confidence which
love had inspired.

stranger, whose name and residence were
unknown. but on his body was found .
silver mark Of a Mason, upon which was
engraved as was supposed, the initials Of
his name. His rewaiDs were taken charge
Of by the Masonic fraternity, and we're In

honors Of the order. On more careful
examination Of bis body before the hour
appointed for the funeral arrived, it 10
