pleasant account of the man OF "blood and

all this says she made the visit in conse-

from the Chancellor: 81 say, Countess,
mind you bring Miss with you in July.

Near GIcnwood, Iowa, resides James T.
Anderson, aged rs. Three years ago he
died from his neck downward. His head, ,
however, is alive and more vigorous and
active than before the body, which it once
governed, ceased to be vital. At the age of
= JameS's fat her died, and his mother soon
married again. At tie age of he was
several tunes tossed by an angry COW.
Shortly atterward, while he was eating
bread and milk, rattcsuakc joined him,
and when the two had finished, his snake
ship made his bow and retired. At years
old horse ran away with him and made
for stable. across the entrance of which
was bar. The horse reached in under the
bar, and his mother seized him just in time
to save his lite. He grew up active and
strong, and was fond Of sports. lie became
Il good gymnast.
James, at the time Of the accident that
left him with dead body and Il living head,
was a fine, handsome young man. lie
weighed two hundred pounds, and there
was not a supelfluous ounce Of flesh on mis-
body.
One afternoon, when on visit to an
uncle at Glenwood, Iowa, he was exercising
on a pole placed from one tree to another
in back yard. He bad on pair of CATERS
lipDCu Will putCho lt"bLSi' III '7' rs
down from the pole by his feet; the leather
slipped, and re fell. He struck his neck
just where it joins the shoulders. lie was
bewidered, but perfectly conscious. His
body felt az though smashed to a jelly. He
experienced a horrible lingling, and when
the doctor came he told him not to touch
him as his body was broken to pieces. His
neck was broken; Inflammation set in, and
all thought his end was come. To the sur
prise of al, in tcw days he began TO mend.
He was shortly after removed to his step
fathers house, where he still resides.
Time hung heavily on his hands, and he
resolved to learn to write with his mouth.
He accomplished this, and, as he says in a
letter to Mr. J. Il. Nutting, he soon wrote
a tolerably good mouth. He is now trying
to punt, and hopes by this means to earn
something for his support. He has been
and still is tenderly cared for by his sister,
herself a cripple, and speaks in the highest
terms OF his stepiather, who, though poor
MIN, has shown him every kindness.
His worst enemies are the flies, which
buzz about his face. He holds lcaty tWlg
in his mouth, however, and manages to
twirl it about III 4 wonderful way, and
drive off his tormcnters. The case is with.
out parallel, except that of John Carter,
of England, who was injured in similar
way, and who became famous painter.

New YoRK, Sept. 12.-Mayor Hall has
requested Comptroller Connolly 10 resign
on account Of the suspicious attaching to
him from the disappearance OF the Youch-
ers. The Mayor has no power to remove
him except by tedious process OF I'M
peacbment, and desires to replace him at
once by Il pcIson possessing tue Confluence
Of the people.
straction Of the vouchers from the comp
troller's office. says: Every honest man
in the city will appl.ud the tirmneSS and
yisor of Mayor Hall in demanding the i'm
mediate resignation OF Comptroller Con-
molly, after the untoward incident which
has Just occurred in his department. 1t is
too well known that the Mayor has no
power to remove heads Of departments. IL
he possessed that power, the request now
made would Of course be followed up IN the
event OF noncompliance by y step equally
prompt and still more decisive.
"The case is too urgent for the slow and
dilatory process of impeachment. Since
the unfortunate occurrence, the complrol-
Ter has lost all capacity to be useful In his
present office, and not only the public m
terest but the sclt-respect Of his associates,
a city government, demands his retlFe-
ment."
Inc w OTtI t.tltlN, Ill iCfe"io ~ ~oN1p
Ter Connolly: at he is so mad, or so blind
as to disregard the firm demand Of the
Mayor. he will find before nisnt; that
scorching and reSistless public lnuignationn
will mike the city too hot to hold hlm. IL
may be his misfortune and not his fault that
this alleged robbery Of bis de2artmsp n 4i +
has so suspicious and damaging look that
if he is an upright and innocent man, with
reasonable sense and honor, he will be too
glad to afford the Mayor an opportunity 70
appoint his successors"

that Comptroller Connolly, of New York,
