GONG TO HEAVEN. executed mur-
derers are supposed to go directly to
Heaven. The road to heis'realms of
the blest, il we may believef those ;cler.
gymen who attend on the condemned, is

nsy not be reasonable hope of saliva

nSkglory who has butchered his wife, or
hiSmother, aud has become repentant
Christian about u week before execution |
We 1Te unable to see that such religious
teachings are particularly we'll calculated
to put an end the prevalent taste,
among Ignorant, people. for bloodshed.
Mrs. Phobs Campbell, who was hung in
Toronto recently for the brutal assassin
alton of her husband and for witnessing
its preparation by one Coyle, reckless
fellow with whom she had illicit rela-
tions, is the last instance on record of
this species OF gallows regeneration.
She WAS the woman who said to Coyle:
when the twelve jurymen look at you,
stare them in the face, for if you look
down they will swear you ure guilty."
Sue was the woman whD, having seen
the murder and assisted at it, said to the
assassin: ''You need never fear that I
will turn against you," aud yet did con-
fess his cnipability and try to conceal
her own. She was the woman who, at
first, laid the whole weight OF crime
upon her cousin, a man who had not
even been near the premises, and sub
sequently acknowledged that she did it
to screen her guilty lover. Yet this wo-
man bold, good looking. immoral. aelf-
ish and oruel-was scared into religious
observanoes after her conviction. She
took to singing psalms when the sound
OF the hammer upon the g,bbet fell on
her ears. and affected to be convinced
that. after death, she WAS going to be a
white-robed angel, end sing hosannas,
with q golden harp at her side, through
all eternity. at the ''foot of tho throne!"
No doubt, ii the clergyman really in
spired this belief, the wicked woman
died much more contentedly than she
could have departed with full convic-
ton of her responsibility hereafter for
her guilt. But could such a creature so
readily be convinced that she WAS con-
trite aud forgiven? And if not, was the
temporary delusion jnstiHable? We
leave it to casuists to determine

wHAr TO Do IN A CASE OF Sun.

WHAT TO Do IN CASE OF SuN-
sTRoKE.-Now that the true nature Of
the disease is known, the method of
treatment becomes more obviouSs and
We learn rpt merely what to do, but also
What not 70 do. AZ heat is the cause Of
the symptoms, coEnmoD senseApoints to
the abstraction Of the heat in Some way
as the mode Of cure. And here again
viviscction comes into play. I have
taken an animal, comatose, patalyzed by
heat. apparently dying, and plugged it
into q bucket of cold water. The TEN.
perature of the sufferer at once rapidly
fell -nntil Aeeaohed the nominal point,
and just in proportion that of the water
in the buckt rose. AS the animal cool.
ed, its respirations became more regu-
lar. the unsteady whirr OF the heart was
stilled, by, and by the ,eye;lids were
lifted, and ptt from the CLASSY eye came
the beams of new life. II the period Of
unconsciousness had been short, the
animal was in few hours apparently as
we'll as ever; if long, the animal would
recover sufficiently to recognize its sur
ronndings and to struggle for release,
but when allowed to escape, the para
lyzed limbs and the slow, imperfect pro-
gression indicated the profound injury
the nervous system had received, and in
q few hours the animal would be dead.
The lessons Of these experiments are
too plain to be overlooked. Whatever
is to be done in this disease must be
done quickly. Clinical as we'll as expe-
ximental observation enforces this doc
trine. There should in such cases be no
waiting for the doctor. The remedy is
30 simple. the death 80 imminent, that
the good Samaritan passing by should

must, however. have cool head to be

ecious on q hot day has sun-stroke.
There is fortunately one criterion 80
easy of application that any one can use

his chest; If the skin be cool, you may
rest assured that, whatever may be the

contrary, the akin be burning hot, the
case is certainly sun-stroke, and no time
should be lost. The patient must be
carried to the nearest pump or hydrant,
stripped to his waist, and buoketful after

him until consciousness begins to return,

cidedly abates.

BULLY For YoU."-Street car scenes
are often very amusing, aud however
tired the traveller may be if he but notes
the characteristics Of his fellow passen-
gers the trip from Canal to Toledano
streets will seem u short one. a few
days ago, when going home to dinner,
we saw in one corner of the Car, deli
cate, lady-like female, with very light
complexion and red hair. Next TO her
sat "A wel-known citizen, bon rirant of
at least 18O pounds weight, who had
evidently, beRn to ''see Q man." in fact,
we rather think he bud seen several men.
At St. Patrick's Church the lady arose
and gave the bell one pull, aud as she
remained standing while the car moved
on, our 'heavy weight" moved iuto her
scat in tue corner and passed into a
pencefnl nap. Near Julia street the lady
gave the strap two energetic pills, but
being already on the lower crossing, the
Jehu went to the upper side and there
stopped. The lady, who had been
swinging to and fro for nearly block,
was evidently ''riied, aud turning to the
driver, she petulantly said: Next time
Iring the bell twice you will stop, or will
report you" Suddenly raising himself,
our festive citizen exclaimed: "Bully for
yon! bully for you! You ain't got that
red head for nothing" An audible
smile spread over the car. and the lady
with tho auburn looks hastily retreated.

The SOUTH CAROLINA RADICALS. The
Radical political family OF South Carroll
ma is in no wise 9 happy one. They,
says the Washington Patriot had united
to such an extent to plunder the State,
that they grew suspiciops Of each other,
and one clique cannot put trust and con-
fdence in the other. Private letters re-
ceived here show new cause OF trouble.
It seems that Governor r. K. Scott and
F. J. Moses entered sometime ago into
an alliance, offensive and defensive,
whereby it was agreed that Scott should
not be candidate for Governor, but
should throw all his influence for Moses
for that Office; and Moses, in turn, was
to secure Scott's election to the United
States Senate in place of Senator Saw
yer, whose term expires March 8. 1873.
Now. il seems, however, that Scott can
not trHst Moses, and has determined to
seek the Governorship. This determi-
nation has upset good many plans, not
only in South Carolina, bat also In
(. Washington, and letters inspired at the
White House have been sent to South
Carolina, asking If the differences cannot
be iamicably arranged, and suggesting
that otherwise great harm may result 10

exceedingly painful-and he would be
