APitifi,l Condition.

IL is a sad thing to pass through life only
half alive. Yet there are thousands whose
habitual condition is one of languOr and
debility. They complain OF no Speciic DIS
ease; they suffer no positive pain but they
have no relish for anything which affords
mental or SensuOuS pleasure To their more
robust and energetic fcllow-beingS.
In nine cases out of ten this state of laSSi-
tude and torpor arises from morbid slOn-
ach, Indigestion destroys the energy of
both mind and body. When the waste
of nature is not supplied by due and regu-
lar assimilation Of the food, every organ Is
starved, every fuaction interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest
under these circumstances of depression ?
The system needs rOuSing and strengthen
ing; not merely foran hour two TO sink az
terward into more pitiable condition than
ever las it aSSuredly would do II an ordt-
nary alcoholic stimulant were reSOrted to-,
but radically and permanently.
How Is this desirable object to he accom-
pliShed? This answer 10 the question,
founded on the unvarying experience OF "a
quarter of a century, Is easily given. lnfuSe

strength and energy, the great organ upon
which all the other organs depend for their
nurture and support.
BY the time that dozen doses OF the great
vegetable tonic and invigorant have been

the race for prosperity. West Virginians
need little quickening Of their blood
a little squirting. a little more energy
and rim. We have here the germ Of q
great State but it will never grow un-
less some forcing be done by the present
inhabitants to give it start. Here
and there, men from other States have
come in, effected a Judgment, and are
pushing things briskly. But we must
not wait to have wealth thrust upon us
whether we will or not Our own peo-
pie must take hold and work hard and
manifest some enterprise and activity,
or West Virginia will never get ont OF
the wilderness.
" We would like to hear Of some effort
being made in each county in the State
to put into practice the suggestions MADE
by Colonel BAINE to the Maryland Con-
vention. Surely there is some energetic
man in each county who will move in
the matter and intuse some spirit into
his neighbors to the end that the cause
of immigration may be promoted and
the population OF West Virginia in
creased.

just as Mr.. Blachly had got into the
vehicle and before he had taken bis
seat. He was precipitated over the side
of the wagon, and his right foot caught
in the spokes, and thus held him fast
At the time the vehicle was near the
edge OF an embankment of twenty feet
extent and BY the sudden action of the
horses it was turned over, making three
or four revolutions before reaching the
bottom, the horses in the meantime
breaking away by the swapping of the
pole near the axle.
Mr.. Blachly's foot continuing fas-
tened in the wheel, he was of course
whirIed over and over with the wagon,
and when assistance arrived it was
found the leg had been terribly broken
between the knee and ankle, some OF
the bones protruding through even the
clothing. His breast and shoulders
were also badly injured, grass and
gravel being in some places ground into
the flesh He was removed to his
boarding house in Waynesburgh, and
the best of medical skill summoned to
his aid. He seemed to rest pretty COM
Portable until Friday noon, when lock-
jaw set in, and on Friday evening he
became unconscious, and so continued
to the end. He was attended by six
physicians, but their combined efforts
proved unavailing. He fingered until
about noon on Monday; when death
interviewed.

Killed at Long Range.

A colored man named Green Har-
rison, was killed at Spring Hill, Thurs
day night, May 25tb, under the most
peculiar circumstances. He had been
at work on General Ewelrs farm, near
the depot, and was on his way to
Spring Hill An unknown person on
the opposite side Of the town, and
nearly half mile distant, fired pistol
and killed him. The strapgest and most
unexplainable part Of the whole affair
is that there was a hill intervening at
least one hundred feet high. How a
ball fired from a pistol could describe
such a long, and at the same time,
acute curve and retain force enough to
kill a man is certainly a mystery; but
facts show that such was the case.
One man saw the flash OF the pistol, it
being dark, and several gentlemen in
Spring Hill heard the ball as it passed
over their heads. Just before it struck
the man, it grazed the side OF frame
house, cutting a groove several inches
long, and showing that it was descend
ing at about forty-fve degrees. The
ball struck the negro above the right
eye and lodged just IN the rear Of the
left ear. He was shot about eight
o'clock and died at ten.-Franklm

Certain Of the Radical journals in
West Virginia are periodically disposed
to ridicule the assumption that twenty
thousand voters were DISTINGUISHED IN
this State under Radical rule. But did
they ever attempt to make the calcutta
ton? Look here: The State OF New
York has a population of 4,364'4ll' In
1870 it cast 7G9, 1884 votes for Governor,
or one for every free and a half of the
population (nearly). West Virginia
has a population of 1855. Now il
the same ratio of voters to population
prevailed here as in New York, we
should have $4,000 voters. In the cleo
ton OF 1868, when prescription was at
lis height, there were cast in West Vir-
sinia 1884 votes, showing that more
than $4,000 were disiranchised that
year. Last year there were cast in West
Virginia 1886 votes, showing that
more than $4,000 were disfranchised at
that time.
COMPARED nith any Of the other
States where free ballot was permit
ted, the same discrepancy is found TO
exist. Allowing that there is one voter
in every six OF population, which is
something less than the average, there
were 24925 voters DISTINGUISHED in
West Virginia in 1865, and 1868 In
1870 h will not do to say that these
men staid at home voluntarily and re-
fused to cast their ballots; because al.
lowance is made in the ratio for the
average number Of persons ofthat class.
We are comparing the vote actually
cast in other States with that cast here,
and supposing that the relative number
of those who voluntarily failed to vote
was the same in each case.
We have no doubt that there are fully
eighty thousand legally qualified voters
in this State, though the highest poll
that has ever yet been made here falls
short Of fifty-six thousand. The RAdi'
Gals are welcome to all the comfort they
can derive from these facts, either as
Renaissance OF the past or an lndlca-
ton Of the future.

THE Administration was sharp
enough to smuggle an appropriation OF
$25 900 for the High Commission into
supply bill, before the adjournment
of Congress. So that the gentlemen
who surrendered our rights, and sub
mitted to be bamboozled besides, as
Colonel Benton used to say, have re-
ceived $1,000 each for that extraordi'
nary service of three mOnths-at the
rate OF $40, cooper annum. When the
accounts for the San Domingo Com,
missioners are footed up, should they
ever be allowed to see the light OF day
there will be charming revelation of
expenditure, for which the money chest
of the Navy Department was drawn
upon with little ceremony, while these
emissaries OF the Administration were
hob.nobbing with Baez and inventing
an absurd report.

HemDfie,d Railroad.

Our statement last week of the pro-
posed track of the eastern extension OF
the Hempfeld was slightly inaccurate
Mr.. DeHass, who made the survey, says
"the line crosses the Monongahela river
at Bellcvernon; thence up Maple Creek,
crossing Crows Summit to Pigeon
Creek thence up the north fork OF that
stream to Winnctt's Summit; thence
down a branch Of Charters Creek to a
point a short distance from the L. P.
church; thence to Henrys Summit,
and thence to the third mile post on the
old HempfeId location on the farm of
Samuel Vance. The total distance
from Washington to Layton Station is
a fraction less than thirty.one miles, re-
curing no tunnels and very little heavy
work.
We understand that in a few weeks
Mr.. DeHass will commence a survey
from this point to GAINESVILLE, Greene
county, probably to test the feasibility
Of the Ten Mile route or to fix the line
ola branch Of the Baltimore, Wheeling
and Pittsburgh railroad, from Washing
ton south. Mr. Chas. DelIass is in the
employ of the Baltimore company and
expresses the opinion that the eastern
extension of the Hemplield will be
speedily put under contract upon one
of the proposed Observation-Disclosures

The unreasoning obstinacy Of Radi-
calism is such that you cannot con vince
the average Radical understand ne that
the Democracy desire only to subserve
the public good in demanding a con-
vention and a revision Of the Constitu-
ton. The Radical mind is so warped
and cranky that it cannot receive the
truth in simplicity. They will tell you
that the sole object OF the Democrats is
to displace the Radical officials and in.
stall Democrats in their stead. We had
not thought of that, but since it has
been mentioned, it does seem to have
some weight, and may as we'll be added
to the catalogue Of good arguments

La
Physical Cause OF the Death o.
Christ.

Christ.
\ remarkable book has recently been published in
London, with the above title. The author, Vim.
Stroud, VI. D., was a ~licentiate of the Royal College
Of Physicians, London, and stood at the head Of his
profession. He devoted many Years to the consider
alton OF the singular problem indicated III the title
OF this volume and the conclusion was irresistibly
forced upon his mind that Christ's death was not the
mere result Of erueihxion, and for the following
reasons
1st-The period was too short a person in the
prime of life would not die from this mode of mortal
punishment IN six hours as he did, bat would usually
survive ill the second or third day, or even longer.
The etuciied died under a lingering process of grad
ul exhaustion, WEAKNESS and tsintness. On the
contrary, Christ died with a loud voice and spoke
once and again Just before his death.
2d-No known injury or disease of the brain or
other vital organs could account for such a sudden
termination of his sutteriDgs IN death, except arrest
ment of the action of the heart by fatal fainting or
Syncope, or rupture of the walls of the heart or larg-
en- blood vessels issuing from it.
3d.-rhe attendant symptoms-particularly the
loud cry and subsequent ordinations show that
Christ did not die from mortal fainting or arrest of
the action of the heart BY SyncOpe.
4ih.-On the other hand the symptoms were such
as have been seen in cases OF rupture of the walls of
the heart.
th.-Th effect of piercing his side by the soldiers
spear, was an escape of g blood and wafer ; as seen
by the Apostle John, and the author thinks nothing
could account for it except q collection of blood efIused
into the distended sac of the pericardium in conse-
quence of rupture Of the heart, and afterwards sep
arated as is usual with extrayasated blood into red
clot and watery serum. The subsequent puncture
from below of the distended pericardial sac would
most certainly, he thinks, Lead to lhe Immediate
election and escape of it's sanguinons contents in the
form of red clots of blood and watery serum exactly
corresponding to the description given in the sacred
narrative.
6th.-Thi rupture of the heart was probably
caused by mental agony.
This theory of the death of Christ is sustained by
Sir James 7. Simpson and other medical authorities.
The book is interesting both from a medical and
moral standpoint, bat the problem it seeks to solVei is
more curious than relevant. Hoto our Savior died is
of very little interest to the world at large 1chu ne
died 1t concerns us to knows. r Bulletin.
