TuosE great statesmen who engineer

the newspapers. From all quarters the
cry Of contempt and defiance goes out,
accompanied with very plain and in
most instances entirely just estimates Of
the authors Of the law. Republican
journals. which have hitherto been dis
posed to treat tho leading statesmen"
with respect, now FREQ their minds with
. plainness that must make tho objects
Of their remarks wish they had made
the law more rigorous. Thus the st.
Louis Democrat says: Presently these
gentlemen will realize that they have
done q very foolish as well as a very

keeps the Republican party alive; that
the press has manufactured-out Of poor

that the same press cannot with safety

Last evening a fellow with a fiddle un-
der his arm called at a private residence
In the south part Of town and inquired
IL the lady needed any music. Being
answered in the negative, the stranger
opened out with such n TRADE OF abuse
that had any Of the male members OF
the family been ut home would have
made the musical cuss acquainted with
the toe Of a boot. He did not look like
n thief or even q vagrant, but is said to
have been the most impertinent strolling
musician that ever called at that house.
From a gentleman who visited Lake
Tahoe last night, we learntha Col. Hor-

we to know that old Horace is doing

AtIAR AND A honsE.rHIEr.

The Carson Appeal Of this morning,
commenting upon Sutro's advice to tho
Storey County Independent Committee
to resign and let him (sutro) designate
. new set Of Committeeman. has the fol-
lowing;
Well. this is rather peculiar. Here Is
q newspaper representing that darling
enterprise Of a long-suffering people,
the Sutro Holeintheground. left, as 1t
were, upon the bleak Siberian brink OF
a chasm Of adventurous circumstances,
p~artyless and ignored. and, but for Its
own ephemeral condition as an ''organ,"
like Niobe. all tears, childless and hope
less in its voiceless woe. II Is evident
from this manifesto that Elliott ct al.
have been putting up a job on Sutro and
his newspaper; that they have been get
ting together. the whole eighteen Of 'em,
and packing the Independent Commit
tee, Is only too plainly evident. 1t is
as plain as tho lose on Sutro's face that
he has been left out in the cold. What
kind Of n trick is this to play ON an As
syrian patriot whose heart is welded to
the cause Of sinching ode wing" II
is painfully apparent TINT he has
been cast of in the flower OF
his aspirations. Just look ut
the permanent interests OF the
county" and see how they will suf-
fer and languish II this indifference this
heart-breakiug GOODNESS Of demeanor Is
suffered to go unrebuked. Here is a
man owning a tistula penetrating the
bowels Of the earth and the proprietor
Of an organ Of speech having sympa-
| thetic reference 10 the same, and not q
thing has he been told Of show" the
| Committeeman from Storey county to
the Independent Diet Of Worms to be
held here to-day been selected. Since
Job had boils. no more inscrutable piece
Of wanton cussedness has been
thrust upon any citizen Of Assyrian
birth. Any insinuation that tho good
Sutro wants TO have this committee ad-
journed so that he car handle II, would
be mean and contemplate. II Is the
workingmen that he speaks for; and
anybody who insinuates to the contrary
is a liar, q villain and a horse thief, and
ought to so West.

the phenomenon may be obtained
through an inverted tumbler, the sides

Raised From the Dead.

New Orleans Is agog over o case Of al
legged resurrection. The stories conflict,
but the facts Of the case seems TO DO a.
follows: A little boy fell forty feet and
was picked up apparently dead. Tho
usual experiments with q feather. look
ipg-glass, etc., were tried. The feather
did not stir. The glass did not become
moist. Life was declared to be extinct.
After the body had become oorpselike in
color, the physician in attendance, DR..
George Ewing. tried electricity. A
strong battery was connected with the
body Just above tho ribs, and air was
forced down the mouth with n pair Of
bellows. A remarkable effect was pro-
duced. The heart throbbed; the mus
cles moved. The arms were thrown
about wildly. Apin thrust into the skin
seemed to cause pain. II was followed
by uneasy movements, which some OF
those present considered as efforts on
the part OF the child TO pluck out the
pin. A violent shock mako the corpse
sit up on the table upon which II had
been stretched. Groans came from Its
lungs. II is said that words could DO
made out Of the murmurings. The eyes
opened into q fixed stare. A sudden
motion toward them made them shut.
They then opened again. The dead boy
winked. Soon he fell back upon tho
table. The action Of heart and lungs
became 30 regular that the battery was
disconnected and the bellows removed.
Still the action continued. The doctor
was jubilant. He believed that life had
been stopped, as q clock may be, by a
sudden shock, and that It needed only
q fresh impulse to begin again. For
some hours this automatic action con-
tinued. No signs Of mental effort could.
however, be got. During the night the
watches fell asleep. When they awoke
the corpse was q corpse indeed. No
shock could give IL ever automatic move
ment. The doctor thinks that with due
care q complete resurrection could have
been accomplished. He proffers afi.
davits to prove tho literal exactness OF
the details he gives. But. in the first
place. the fact Of death Is not proved.
The boy was probably only stunned. not
killed. by the fall. Again, II he really
was dead, all the movements caused by
the electric current may, and probably
were. due to that current alone, and not
at all to like. They are no more marvel
Gus than the involuntary actions Of the
dead, which DR.. Brown-Sequard men,
toned in one OF his recent lectures.
Take the case OF the man who rose up
in his bed when they were preparing
him for the coffin, swung his arms in
front Of him, elapsed them in an attitude
Of prayer, let them fall, lifted them
again. and repeated al minimum. "Yet,"
says the doctor, she was undeniably
dead."-Chiodgo Tribune.
