DEATH or 1llE s1EEPlNo BEAUTr.

SAVA efe NNeafHte Onlons 4th. tf t.f
We learn from the Hickman Courier, that
Mlss susan Caroline Godsey-knOWn as the
sleeping beauty died at the residence Of her
mother, In ObIOn county, Tenn. on the 9th
UT; ohe had attained the age Of 81 years, and
years.
II will be remembered that her case has ex-
vestigation and discussion among scientific
msn. The true nature Of her afflictIon, how
ever, was never understood, and will doubtless
always remain mystery
She was brought to Nashville in the fall Of
$3.50 IoT the ostensible purpose Of procuring
medical aid. but was really In charge of an
agent, who contemplated making an exhibit
ton OF her. She was accOmpaniedb by abrOther
ana other relations who were very much at
tached TO her. While they were In Nashville
Ghey boarded at the house Of Major Bruce, on
MARKET street, and the sleeper was constantly
watched by Mrs. Bruce who took great inter
est IN her She remained under Mrs. Bruces
care eleven days. While there she was visited
Dy great many persons, and had with her
que OF more physicians all the time. She wa
kehed every hour, night and day, at almost
Tic same second each time, she had cOnvul-
siohs That shook the room, and at such times
She appeared to be suffering great pain. When
asleep sho was dead to everything but when
awake talked pleasantly and intelligently,
sOnleunes complaining Of pain, and exclaim-
ing on my head y and when she awakened
Sne invariably asked for water, but ate very
Ilttle She said she had no consciousness Of
ever having dreamed, and that it was no
pleasure to live, afflicted as she was.
she was very sensitive, and appeared morti-
ned to think that she was being exhibited
Her af1lctlon was inaugurated by n spell of
chills. Some medical men have attributed il
the medicine she then took others, that
the chills are precursory to her housekeeping
state.
Upon leaving Nashville she went to st. Louis
ana remained there short time. 1t is said
tnat the physicians there unanimously agreed
that she was no imposition She soon returned
to the home Of her mother and has remained
there ever since.

FUN AND PHYsIc.
A Medical Professors Idea of the Doc
tors Of the Future.

Professor Da Costa, a new mem.
Der OF the Faculty Of Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia. de.
livered his Introductory lecture the
other day. He said: 81 look to the
day when we shall have a clearer
idea of the inception, extept and
advancement Of tissue alterations
than we now have; when the
amount OF force expanded in dis.
eased action, if I may so express
myself, shall be more accurately
.guaged, and the progress of disor:
der more readily detected; when
we can measure the something o1
life that is all the time undergoing
the changes of life even in patho.
logical textures, and estimate more
closely the finer physical alterations
being made and the upshot of these
alterations"
Much is to be hoped from the
improvement Of instruments. The
microscope, the thermometer, the
larynoscope, and the opthalmoscope
are constantly used by skilled ply
sicians. Professor Da Costa appre.
hends, however, the by-and-by il
will be impossible for any one man
to be master Of the skill required
to manipulate all these instruments
As in the mechanical arts, there
will be a division of labor. Every
doctor will necessarily become in 8
certain sense a specialist. He thus
humorously sketches a professional
visit of the future:

Tree Planting in minnesota.

\ call is made in Minnesota upoSn
the Legislature Of that State not to
adjourn without taking some action
in the matter Of appropriating a sum
of money for the purchase Of seeds
and trees TO be distributed to each
town throughout the State. 1t is es-
pccially urged that trees be planted
on the prairies Of the State, for tho
benefit Of the farmers who fill up the
broad stretch of land between the
rail roads and rivers, so that they
mny thus fence their roads and farms
with forest trees. Already has this
been done to some extent. The sys-
tenn has been adopted on all the lines
of the St. Paul aud Pacific Rail Road
and already have many miles of trees
been planted. The Same course has
been pursued by farmers in the
neighborhood of Hutchinson, who
have set out from 1000 to 10000
trees each.

A Document that will Create q Sir in

A memorial to the United States
Senate, protesting against the seating
of Patterson, has been prepared by a
few citizcns of Columbia, and has
been extensively signed by the citi-
zcns generally and members of the
Legislature. 1t is to be forwarded
to Washingto tomorrow morning. The
memorial reoites that charges against
Patterson and Worthington, his
agent, of bribery and attempting to
bribe members of the Legislature are
now pending, and are matters of
record in the Court of General Ses-
sions for Richland County. It cites
the case of Lee, Miller and Duncan
as among many other cases of men,
bers Of the Legislature who have testi-
fed as to these transactions,' and
prays that n full investigation be
made of the truth or falsity of these
charges before tho seat be awarded
Patterson. The paper concluded
with disavowal of any personal feel
ing or interest on the part of the sign.

The Swamp Angels Henry Berry Lowery
Said to be Alive.

A report has reached here from
Nobscson county via Florence, South
Carolina, to the effect that Henry
Berry Lowery, the chief Of the lat 3

the people Of that cstion, is not dead
but probably now living in New York

nation came is supposed to huyo been

was investigating the status of tho out.
laws. fie says that since the JIum-
berton Bark was robbed of some tbir.
ty thousand dollars, and the stores of
that town of about thrce thousand
dollars worth Of goods, Henry Berry
Lowery has not been seen by any
white person in the county.

death of the outlaw chief by tho acci.
dental discharge of bis own gun or
by assassination by ono of the gang
arc both false. lie states, however,

"ent saw Henry Berry Lowery alive,

Herald correspondent was still a cap

In ordor to confirm his assertion he
says that Rhoda Lowery rcceiy es
packages of clothing, jewelry and 9TH
er articles by express from New York,
which must come from her husband.
though probably through the oollu.
sion of third party. There is very
little credit given here to this report,
the Herald's version of his death be.
ing generally conceded to be correct {; |
but | give it for its worth, in the hope
that if the outlaw is alive he NAV be
captured and brought to Justice.

tract.

There should undoubtedly be n
general international contract framed
to cover, with strict exactncss, the
whole subject of collisions at sea. The
general principle Of maritime comity
is, that in case of all such accidents
however trifing, the ships should
stand by each other until mutually
assured that neither is in DANGER
But there is no certain mcans. a. tho
Northaeet and Murillo example shows
of enforcing this principle, or of pun
ishing its violation in special cases
and as that example likcwis @ shows
there can be no security that brutes
may not be fond On occasion to profit
by the technical immunity. Conse.
quently, there is need of an express
provision, to be engrated upon ourronL
international law, and submitted for
the formal assent of all the civilized
powers. Only by making the punish.
