At p. m. his wife, unable to restrain
herself, bent down to kiss her dying
husbands lips, the last kiss he, was to
receive. A sudden quivering Of his
frame startled us, powerful effort at
inspiration was made, the, head was
drawn back and all was over. Within
thirty seconds the heart had ceased to
beat.
The hose was at once withdrawn,
and the animals vessels were tied by
the students, while l led the weeping
wife out Of the rooms. An autopsy.
twenty-four hours later. proved, among
less interesting facts, the lungs edema-
tous and perforated by the weapon !;
the brain was found hyper@mic. and in
the medulla there was rupture of
vessels and a limited exudation of
blood, evidently the cause Of the sud-
den death. The hose was lined with
coagulated blood, but the silver tubes
were found as smooth as ever. The
left jugular was obstructed near its cut
end by clot, which, by its resistance
to the current of blood, had probably
prodaced the fatal rupture Of the me-
dullary vessels.
THE FAITHFUL DOG
recovered and followed his master S
hearse, not leaving his grave until the
sexton, moved by pity, shot him. His
brain was found on examination almost
normally vascular in the anterior part,
receiving its supply Of blood from the
much enlarged yertebral arteries.
THE COUNTESS PROSECUTED.
As the count had feared, his wife is
being molested by the jealous relatives
in all possible ways; Graf Won Alsberg-
Mannhausen having even gone so far as
to protest the will When he found
that the Catholic ecclesiastical court,
to which he first applied, trying to rem
der the Count Alfred's will null and
void on religious grounds, had no juris-
diction over the countess, she being a
Protestant, he carried his case before
the courts of Prussia, claiming that as
the counts body was virtually dead
when the will was drawn, and his brain
nourished with canine blood, his condi-
ton could not have been con.pos nentis.
A decision of the court is expected in
the next meeting in September.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-gIands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer Of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The Governorship of Arkansas, is
at present in an unsettled condition
In the election held in 1872, Joseph
Brooks and Elisha Baxter were can
didates. Each claimed the cleo
ton. Baxter was sworn into office.
About year ago, Brooks commenced
a suit in the circuit court, for the Of
flee Of Governor, and at the same
time the Attorney General beg an
suit against Baxter, by suit of quo
a0drrdnto, i'll the Supreme Court. The
Supreme Court decided that the courts
of the State had no power over a con-
tested election for the office of Gov
ernor, and as far as the courts were
concerned the matter was considered
settled. The Legislature of 1878,
opened and examined the election re-
turns and declared that Baxter was
elected Meanwhile the case COM
menced by Brooks in the Circuit
Court, still remained on the records.
About week ago, the Attorney of
Baxter moved to take up the case on
demurrer intending to dispose of
the same, and an understanding was
had on their part at least, that it
should be argued the next week. A
few days afterwurd, while Baxter's
Attorneys were absent, the attorney
for Brooks arose and stated that it
had been agreed that the demurrer
should be submitted, and the day fol-
lowing, the Judge, in the absence Of
Baxter and his attorneys, rendered
his decision overriding the demurrer,
and now being present to ask for re-
pleading, or appeal, judgement Of
Custer was issued. A writ was
placed in the Shcriff's hand Brooks
took the oath Of office, and at the
head of an armed band, took posses
sion Of the Governors Office, and for
chilly elected Baxter. At last &C
counts the friends of both men haC
rallied to the support Of their favor

of the office and Capitol buildings

Capital Punishment.
NUMBER one

am fully aware that the first and
chief object of human governments,
in the infection of punishment, is to
render society safe. do not oppose
this object nor contend that it should
give way to any visionary plan of re-
forming the guilty. But do contend
that if society can be made secure by
q penalty, or punishment, which AZ
the same time places the criminal in
situation favorable to his reforma-
ton, human government is bound
the Christian legislator is bound-to
provide such punishment for the guilty
and thus Afford the means and the
hope of repentance.
The question is certainly a very
grave one, as to abolishing capital
punishment in all cases, after so long
Il period Of practice on the present
system. Great changes in the laws
should uot be hastily made. 1t is as
unwise to indulge disposition to in
noyate, as it is to continue old sys-
TENS, because they were approved by
our ancestors. Public opinion, both
in Europe and in the United States,
is become more opposed to capital
punishment, with some as to its poll
cy, with Others as to its agreement
with the rights of humanity, and with
others, again, as to its consistency
with the spirit Of Christianity. 1t is
believed by portion of the people
that Christianity docs not justify or
sanction it, and that this considera-
ton is superior to all others. With
the sincere Christian, this suggestion
should and will have influence.
If the gospel does not allow one
individual to take the life of another
how can society of men justly do
so? 1t must first be shown that the
safety of society rquircs it and cannot
be safe without it. But this is doubt
ed it is believed that the cells and
walls arc sufficient guaranty for the
walfare of the society, both as it re-
CARDS the criminal, and the bad in
society who are to be terrified
from crime by the awful example Of
others. And as to humanity and
mercy they certainly plead for the
gnilty so far as that they may have
an opportunity and the means for
reformation, if consistent with the
welfare Of the virtuous. And as to
the policy of the milder system, many
believe that severe punishment rather
increases than diminishes crime. 1t
has been fully proved that when the
penalty is severe, the effect has been
that few are convicted, and. that a
vast number, Of offenders therefore
escape all punishment. And this ev-
identity serves only to corrupt society
and bring civil authority into con-
tempt. 1t is difficult to find q jury
who will bring in verdict of guilty
against one charged of a crime which
is to be followed by capital punish
ment they will be casuist enough to
find some reason for saying, mot
guilty." when if the punishment were
confinement to hard labor in the State
Prison, they would readily have said,
guilty" There is no reasoning
against this feeling or this result.
SO it is. Many men think human
government cannot rightfully take
away the life of man. j. B.

W men lay within his compass
Not thinking that this thievfng dash
would make so great nmpus.
The neighbors soon pursued his track
WITH earnest expectation,
intending soon to bring him back,
And end his thieYing mission.
He could not reach his hiding place
In thicket ON Bemis hill
But found house uHtenated

They bound the rogue and forced him back
To jail house In The town;
Full proof was furnished by his track,

But after few days, he escaped
from jail, How he could do so was
a mystery. He must have had help
from somebody, was the general con-
clusion. He had told the keeper OF

was confederate with him. This led
to the searching of that mans premis-

was general, that the prisoner must
have had aid. The weather had now
become cold, being the early part of
November. Backus was barefoot
and could net hide in barns, because
people entered them daily to feed
cattle. He had frozen his feet. He

The New York Evening Post says
that Jayne's last effort to detect fraud
on the customs revenue, was in con-
nection with pair OF snakes import
ed by Mr.. Barnum. The serpents
we're shipped according to the require
ments of our Government, but during
the voyage six little snakes were born
to them. On discovering the discrep-
ancy between the invoice and the
facts, Jane ut once discerned the col
fusion between the snakes and their
owner, which he characterized as a
glazing attempt to wriggle property
into the country in violation of law,
and accordingly seized the box and
all its contents. Trouble, however,
now arose about the division of the
spoils. OF course the Government
got four of the snakes, but there was
a dispute as to the rest, Jayne claim
ing two, a number to which he is
clearly entitled. There being only
two left, the other officers objected to
receiving moiety of snake as hav-
ing no commercial value, but demand
a whole one. The suggestion of the
Post that the snakes be cooked and
eaten by the officers is good one,
for the dish would be appropriate to
Jayne's squilming nature and be far
less repulsive than the doses he has
forced down the threats of better
men.
