A Queer Sort Of a Pin-CushIOn.

A very strange malady is that
from which Lydia Stokes, a young
woman of Lawrence county, Ala,
suffers, if we may credit the CORE
spondent of a local paper, and he
claims to have his information from
a physician familiar with the case,
and VOWS it is "no sell or sensation
nor overdrawn." At various times
during the past two years there
have been taken from her body
over one hundred pins and needles,
besides wood-splinters, no great.
number being extracted at one
time. They have appeared and
been taken from all parts of the
body = face, head, neck, back,
breast, arms and legs. The pecu-
liarities of the case are hat the
pins are headless, the needles
are sometimes taken out in
bundles, or rather as many as
live twisted together as though
made Of soft iron wire, and while
they are mostly corroded and more
or less decomposed, as though they
had passed through the stomach,
yet some are bright as though re-
Gently inserted from the surface.
Every effort 50 far, has failed to
detect how she becomes possessed
Of them. She has been deprived of
both pins and needles, all such fem
mime conyeniences being carefully
concealed from her for long periods
Of time without materially check
ing the trouble. The location from
which they are taken is first iIdi-
Gated by a small postule or pimple.
She is delicate, apparently consump-
tive, and believes that she is be-
witched.

FEARFUL FLOOD IN IOWA /!
Great Damage and Death at
Dubuque.
A Village swept Away!
II PERSONS MIsslNG-19 DEAD Bod
les FOUND.

The following dispatch tells it
own fearful tale
Dubuque, Iowa, July "a fearfu
storm swept over this city last night
carrying death and destruction il
its wake. The rain commenced fall
ing about 10 o'clock, and continued
for three hours, with solid sheet OF
water, accompanied with thunder
and lightning, making the worst
storm ever experienced. Death and
destruction are visible on every side.
All the bridges on wagon roads and
railroads are washed away, and no
trains can arrive or depart for sever
al days. Houses were carried down
stream by the torrents, and many of
their occupants drowned cellars
are filed with water; the streets are
washed out live stock is drowned !;
and mourning takes the place Of joy
The village Of Rockdale, two miles
from Dubuque, built on a stream, was
inundated at the dead hour Of night
by the breaking away of q mill-dam
some distance up the stream. Every
building in the place was swept away
except the mill, and their occupants
carried away and drowned Rock
dale is a small place OF about two
hundred inhabitants, built upon a
creek, and contains post-oiiice,
hotel, store, and other structures.
The rain fell in a solid body for
three hours, aud the stream rose TO
the size of river, and about one
o'clock,while the lightning was flash
ing and the thunder rolling, the res
idents were terror stricken with the
rush OF mighty water In an instant
every building in the place, save the
mill, was carried down stream or
moved from its foundation. After
the storm had abated, search was
made and IL persons were found to
be missing. OF this number - dead
bodies oil men, women and children
were picked up along the stream.
Death and desolation are seen on all
sides. The scene, with the shlieks
of women and children in the black
ness Of the night, was heartrending.
Search is being made for those still
missing.

i The La Crosse Republican is one OF
the most staunch and influential Re-
publican papers in Wisconsin. 1t is
the leading journal of the North
west, and undoubtedly reflects the
sentiments of the people in that
Republican stronghold. In a recent
issue, touching the implication of
Reyes with the Milwaukee whisky
ring, it uses the following strong
language, which is re-echoed by
ninety per cent Of the Republicans
of this section, and should command
the attention Of the committee called
upon to act:
The investigation now taking place at Wash
ington, before Congressional committee shows
beyond any questions that the head and front
Of the whisky ring in this state was the indiyid.
uai whose name heads this article. This fact
has long been believed By many, but now is
known of all men. Yet while his poor dupcs
pine in jas and pcnitentiares because they
ioolishly relied upon his promises and the
power of himself and Senator Carpenter TO pro-
tect them in their erookedness, the great Grim
inals are stil Mt large, and one Of Them holding
one of the best federal offices in the state, and
standing Mt the head of the State Central Com
mittce. While such things are, is it any won.
der that We hear grumblings both loud and
deep The late nominations ut Cincinnati
have been received with great satisfaction by
the mass of Republicans in this part of the
state, who regard them as an augury that the
party Is determined to reform itself while
others, both numerous and respectable, declare
that such augury avails nothing SO long as the
party tolerates as leaders the most corrupt and
proligatc members of the party. Rid Of its
present incubus the state is good for It's twenty
thousand majority for Hayes and Wheeler, but
with it the result is more than doubtful The
responsibility OF retaining Kcyes as Postmaster
at Madison does not belong to the Republicans
Of the state outside of that district. IT. after
existing disclosures he i retained, the frcs |
dent, the Postmaster General. and Member of
Congress from that district, must all share in |
the accountability rs we'll as in the dshonor |
but the responsibility Of retaining "A corrupt |
man at the head OF the State Central Commit |
tee belongs TO the entire party OF the state.
How 10 be rid of this membranes Is the |
question. Resign he will not and If no other |
way offers meeting of the committee should |

party means reform, and that it. rascals shall |

NOT SALARY GRADERS.

Having heard it asserted in Min
eral Point by prominent Democrat
that Hayes or Wheeler was "Salary
Grabber," such statement is correct
ed by the following, found in the
Madison J0,9n0l.:
The fac, is that Hayes was not member OF
Congress in 1873. when the salary hill was
PISSED, and has not been IN Congress since lac
beat Thurman for Governor OF Ohio in lSt5.
Wm. A Wheeler, candidate for Nicc-Prcsi
dent, was member OF Congress, however. and
voted against the salary bill FIRST last and al
