A Test of the Extinction of Life.

In view of the uncertainty regarding
the final extinction of life that OCCASION
ally arises, DIR. Magnus proposes the fol-
lowing test for the decision of the mat
ter. If limb of the body Ga finger is
best for the purpose) be CONSTRUCTED by
a strong igature quite tightly, there
will, if the subject is yet alive, be red
dening of the CONSTRUCTED member. First
the part in question becomes red, and
then the red color becomes darker and
darker, and deeper in hue, until it is
finally converted into bluish-red, the
whole limb being, from its tip to the ig-
allure which encircles it, of q uniform
color. except that at the region immedi-
ately around the igature itself there is
to be seen narrow ring, which is not
bluish-red, but white. Though there
may be slight discoloraton after death,
the doctor has satisfied himself by ex-
pertinent that this CANNOT be COMPOUNDED
with the complete discoloration that at
tends the performance OF the test on a
living limb. -Scribner's for February.

Influence of the Newspaper Press.


''The great influence of the newspaper
press is every day felt and acknowledged
Judge Glenni iW--Seofeld,- of Erie, the
able and popular Congress7atLarge from
Pennsylvania, has recently said that
statesman, no political party, no corpor-
pers cannot be resisted, except for a
short time, of some great issue, ~.
AS an unqualified proposition this
statement is utterly without foundation.
There is no country in the world where
the newspaper press has less influences
except ,ohe,, it is right, than in the United
States. So long as the press stands on
high moral ground, and is the champion
of the peoples rights, both political and
civil, it cannot be resisted" even "for a
short time. = When on the side of lib
erty, humanity, and equal justice it is
almost omnipotent in its influence The
very intelligence of the; American people
renders the newspaper press of our coun-
try almost powerless for evil except for
a short timet Its evil influence here, as
in all other countries, is just in proper
ton to the prevalence Of ignorance. The
absolute failure of such papers as the

Over Much Zeal Over Little Justice.

The prosecution of Miss Susan b. AM
thony by the United States authorities in
Rochester, New Y ork, for illegal voting,
seems to have degenerated into mere
prosecutions; at-any- rate it eliminated
in an act of tyranny and oppression or.
the part of Judge Hunt, who tried the
case, of the mostreprehensible and dam
gerous character o. u cE3 anig1ud y
We think the facts will more than bear
US out in this statement. Previous to,
the, November elections, Miss Anthony
had her name registered according to
law, requiring all voters in that State to
be registered. Mo objection made to
the registration by the board of registers,
or any one else.s, Having thus taken, this
preliminary step without the slightest
opposition from any source, on election
day, under the advice of Judge Seldom,
one of the most eminent lawye ers in New
York, she appeared at the polls, offered
her vote, and it was accepted, unchal-
lenged, by the inspector of elections
Straightway. she was charged with
high crime and misdemeaner against the
peace and dignity of the United States,
the subject laid before the. United States
Grand Jury, and an indictment duly
found against her.. as in duty bound. She
has recently been tried for the offense in

Western District of New Y York, Judge
Hunt presiding. Under very remarka-
BILE ruling of the court she was found
guilty-not by jury, but blythe arbitra-
.ry dictation of the judge; He perempto-
rily denied the jury the right to consider
the case, and ordered them to bring in
verdict against her. He tyrannically
assumes the prerogatives of jury as well
as. judge, and has set an example most
dangerous to thesrights and liberties of
the citizen.
And he rendered his conduct still more
odious by absolutely refusing to allow
the counsel of the election inspectors,
who were also on trial for receiving Miss
Anthony's vote, to addsess the jury at all
in their defense. This very disgraceful
and dangerous conduct on the part of a
member of the United States Supreme
Court deserves and, indeed, is receiving
the very strongestscensurese on sthe-part of
the press. But Miss Anthony can desire
no better capital in, favor of women's
rights than this sort of persecution and
oppression Judge Hunt has raised up
for her scores of sympathizerss by his

And4the above specific prohibition plain
ly recognizes voting as "the right of citi-
zens of the United States,
The legal argument put Judge Hunt to
rout, and he was driven to make a. mess
of the law His performance with the
jury was even more extraordinary. Miss
Anthony's counsel presented three prop
ositions-two of law and one a question
OF fact-for the jury. He argued the
propositions ef-law, and-theFefore- the
Judge said he had better leave the ques-
ton OF tact until the Court had given its
views on the questions of law. Upon
this arrangement the District Attorney
addressed the Court upon the legal ques-
tions --a.ss---ss----ssSss---s
s When he had concluded, Judge Hunt
proceeded to decide the legal questions,
and then he said that the decision of
these left no question of fact for the jury.
He told the jury that the decision of the
Court had disposed of all there was in
the case, and he directed them to find
verdict of guilty, and instructed theelerk
to enter verdict of guilty. He refused
to allow the argument to be made to the
jury that if the defendant believed, she
had the right to vote she was not guilty
He told the jury that if she believed in
good faith she was exercising ,herflegal
right, it was no difference, The clerk
entered the verdict and then-read-it to
the silent rand non-responsive jury as
their verdict. Miss Anthony may well
hold that if the law had to be torn to
shreds, the right of all placed in jeopardy
by bad rulings and the right of trial by
jury taken away by, the high hand, in or
der to deny her legal right to vote, it is
her triumph - 49,

BY FRANK CLIVE.

The stiff -neclzed generation
OF sl1eptics all deny
That prayer is even answered
From the throne of Grace, on high;
Perhaps the Lord don't answer
The selfish prayer OF such,
But good mans supplication
know availeth much.
OF course don't deny my
Carnal natur' at my birth;
But many years ago ji1ed
The ranks of saints on earth;
And ever since I've flourished
Like unto the green-bay tree,
By praying when l wanted
Favofs granted unto me-
My brethren, you all know that field
OF winter wheat of mine;
From all the fields in this ere town,
That one just takes the shine.
There's Brother Browns, admin mine,
He called his better wheat;
You know how tits with Brother Brown
He won't give up when beat.
Wal, last week, when burned my brush,
The fire began to run
Across the fence to where my wheat
Stood waving in the sun.
We nit that fire with might and main,
But spite of earthly aid,
1t spread into that field of wheat
And some slight havoc made.
Oh! brethren, since 1 lost my wife,
i have not been so tried,
AS when that fire attacked my wheat
Upon the windward side;
1t seemed as if for once the Lord
His promise would not keep f. IS
That whatsoever had sowed
That should also reap.
/ know that whom the Lord doth love
He chasteneth-but such
Destruction of prime winter wheat
Was Christening me too much;
Andi in the anguish of my soul
My brethren, did pray,
That as was an upright man,
The cup might pass away.
Would that those infidels who doubt
The prayerfal spirits gift, s.tt-s,-
Could have observed the promptitude
With which the the wind did shift!
Yes, how it backward drove those flames
Away from my demesne,
Straight into Brother Browns wheat field,
And burnt it slick and clean!
Twas thus through prayer alone, the wind
Was tempered upon me;
Though Brother Brown, he seems cast down
At the catastrophe.
That I'm better man than Brown,
Is not for me to say;
But if he beats me raising wheat,
He's got TO watch and prayi

Information Wanted.

We are frequently asked by our friends
what course Hon. Charles Foster has pur-
sued in reference to the back salary grab,
whether or not he has received his por-
ton of the steal as it is almost univers-
ally termed. Inreply; we can only say
that Mr.. Foster voted steadily against
the bill, and further than this we have
no information, except that his name
does not appear among those who have
returned the money into treasury. There
is very general desire evinoed by Mr..
Fosters constituents in this county to
know his exact status in the matter, and
we are free to say that we share that de-
sire Mr.. Fosters constituents have a
right to know whether, he has received
or intends to receive the back pay voted
him, and in all friendship-political and
'otherwise-we call upon him to furnish
them the desired information. We
have refrained from asking the informa-
tion heretofore, because we expected to
receive it through another channel No
man who receives this back pay can claim
the support or confidence of the voters
of this district, and the Republican press
of the district cannot afford to keep 81
lence while this thing is kept hid. Again
in behalf of the many readers OF the JEFF.
who gave their votes to Mr.. Foster last
Fall, we ask him to give an account OF

contractlle apparatus of the walls of the
blood vessels are quickly followed by a
general fatigue, which is only modified

closely related with the cerebral circula-
ton. When, by continual usage, the
muscular tissues of the blood vessels has
become gradually benumbed, the blood
in place of its naturally rapid flow, circu-
lates slowly and sluggishly, and the
functional energy of the brain is dimin-
ished. But, with new exhibition of the
stimulant, the muscular contractibility is
again stimulated, the circulation becomes
quicker, the brain, abundantly and regu-
larly bathed by the life blood, takes up
again its functions, the brain power in
creases, ideas flow with great rapidity !;
but the activity thus produced can not
last. With this stimulation disappear
the brilliant results which it had pro-
duced, and the organ falls into a relaxed
condition, from which only increased
doses can temporarily rescue it. One of
the results upon the brain is the loss Of
memory. Many authors have noticed
this fact. The case of TAbbe Moigno, the
celebrated editor of Les Mondes. is curl
Gus. He had often been in the habit of
taking snuff, which had always led to
preiudicial results. After various tenn
use. In 1861, while engaged in some
mathematical labors, he took 20 to 25
grammes daily, and found himself con-
tinually having recourse to the snuff box
The effect was rapid extinction of the
faculty of memory. He had learned
several languages by their root words, of
which he knew from 1000 to 1900 of
each tongue, but he found that his pow
ers of recalling the words were gradually
diminishing, and recourse to the die
tionary became each day more necessary
Struck with this fact, he resolved to
abandon the tabatierei and cigar. Writ
ing, after six years experience as a nom
smoker, he says; at has been for US the
commencement of veritable resource
ton of health. mind and memory; our
ideas have become more lucid, our
imaginations more.viyid, our work easier,
our pen quicker, and we have seen gradu--
ally return that army of words which had
run away. Our memory, in word, has
recovered allits riches, all its sensfbility."
