CoLoRED MEMBER OF CONGRESS-
Many persons have been greatly brighten
ed over the prospect, that colored man
by the name of Menard, was about to OBJ
tain seat in Congress, claiming to have
been elected from New Orleans It ap-
pears that the committee on elections in
Congress, after giving Menard a hearing,
are not satisfied that he was legally elect
ed. So there will be no colored member
in Congress at present.

will be an election by the people for
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court of
this State, to supply the place which is to
become vacant, by the expiration of the

Hon. Luther s. Dixon A large majority
of both branches of the Legislature, have
signed a call addressed to Judge Dixon
requesting him to be candidate for re-
election Judge Dixon has responded to
the call, and consented to be considered a
candidate.
Judge Di xon, it will be recollected, was
elected to fill short term of one year

tage ola large experience, having been on
the bench Of the Supreme Court of this
State ten years, During this time, he has
discharged the duties of his position, to

The mill tax in Italy imposes duty of
about forty cents upon every two hundred
and twenty pounds of wheat, and halfthat
amount on all kinds of grain The bread
of an average poor family, it is estimated,
is thus taxed to the extent Of about $312
per annum, and in country where incomes
are very small and restitution, especially
in the Island of Sardinia, very common,
this burden is very heavy.

Burlington Trance Case.

The little girl Mira Rausch at Burling-
ton, Racine county, spoken of in this pa
per last week as having been in q trance
state for two weeks or or more, with all
the external appearance of death, has
finally been pronounced dead Our in
formant says physicians are not agreed as
to the time when life became actually ex-
tinct, it is generally believed it was more
than two weeks after apparent death APP.
peared. The opinions of medical men
have been expressed, that had the girl
been kept in her bed, instead of having
been placed in coffin, she very likely
would have recovered. We give thefore-
going as we receive it of our informant.
The Madison Journal states the case OF
the wife of II. NJ Page, one of the editors
of that papers, which was one of similar
character. The statement is that when
she was girl eight years of age, after
several day of illness from typhoids fever
she apparently died.
''The Physicians pronounced her dead,
her measure was taken for coffin, Grape
was put on the door, and preparations
made to lay her out, Her parents how
ever, thought they. detected faint signs
of life, and applying mirror to her
mouth, found slight moisture thereon, and
concluded to postpone the funeral In
this state she remained for twenty-one
days, showing no outward sign of life re-
garded by many as dead, visited by many
physicians who regarded the case as q
very curious one, and taking no nourish-
ment during that time. At last as des-
perate resort, a powerful dose Of sugar of
lead was administered, which had the eff
feet Of restoring her to consciousness,
though terribly weak, having no recollec
ton of anything that transpired during
her trance, having forgotten nearly every
thing that she knew before she fell into q
cataleptic state, and having again. to learn
what a child of that age usually knows as
if again babe T"
A late correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, gives different version of the
matter he believes the girl died at the
time she was supposed to go into trance
and that all the physicians who. visited
her were mistaken as to her true condi-
ton. as@a~ ~ *@a1' ,'@@
LATER, The girl Mira Rausch is sre-
ported still alive, more than twenty ply
sicians have visited her aud regard the
