The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-10-05

THERE is scarcely a newspaper pub
lished from one end Of the year to the
other, that will not, if critically consid-
cred, give offence to some one in the
community. The politician objects to
the way his speech is reported. The
buyers of one set of shares are offended
because the money column reports an
other set as going up or going down.
Gentleman who find themselves in the
hands Of the police are grieved at the
license of the press which reports their
arraignment and trial among the police
proceedings. The sympathizer with
France is offended at letters from Berlin
and the believer in German unity mourns
over dispatches from Paris. The news
paper thus offends some one, just as the
weather rainy to-day and sunshine to-
morrow-is sure to annoy somebody.
The common sense view is that the news
paper is the history Of yesterday written
to-day; that it is the mirror of the time,
and that those who conduct it care moth
ing for individuals, except to do them
Iustice.-NetO York paper,

SLEEP.-There are two kinds of sleep
the complete and incomplete. Com
plete sleep Is temporary metaphysical
death, though not an organic one. The
heart and lungs perform their Offices
with their accustomed regularity. It is
characterized by a torpor of the organs
Of the brain, of the external senses, and
of voluntary motions. Incomplete sleep
Is the activity of one or more of the &C.
REFRAIN organs, while the others are in
repose this occasions dreaming. Sleep
is yariously affected by health and dis
ease. Man in time of health sleeps in
tranquility. He arises in the morning
refreshed and prepared to go forth to his
daily labor. New strength is given him !;
languor has gone and all the faculties,
both mental and corporal, are recruited.
But the sleep of disease is far different.
1t is short and unrefreshing, disturbed
by fearful sights and frightful dreams.
Stupor and sleep are different, though
supposed by some to be synonymous. In
both there is insensibility /; but it is easy
to awaken person from sleep, while it
Is sometimes almost impossible to arouse
one from stupor. It is frequently the
case in sickness that the person lies for
several days in stupor, totally insensible.
Though sleep be natural and necessary
10 H. i
ulties, yet it is often brought on by
some external cause. Heat produces
sleep. We witness it in the summer
season it is common to see the laborer
devoting an hour in the heat of the day
to sleep. A heated church is likely to
bring on sleep. Variety, whether in
sight or sound, prevents sleep, whilst
monotony of all kinds is apt to produce

BURNING MIRRORS. history of
the burning mirrors of brass is known.
At Rome the sacred fire was lighted with
apparatus of this kind, and Archimedes
fred the ships which were blockading
Syracuse by concentrating upon them
the suns rays by means of large refec-
tor. Button repeated successfully the
experiment of Archimedes. With mir
ror of very slight curvature, consisting
of q number of pieces of looking glass,
he set fire at some distance, to fir and
beech planks, melted tin and silver, and
brought iron to a red heat. Saussere
later accumulated, by means of super
imposed enclosures of glass, the suns
heat up to temperature exceeding that
of boiling water, and Sir John Herschel
repeated these experiments at the Cape
of Good Hope ut various times between
1884 and 1888. AT the same period the
French physicist Pouillet was engaged
at Paris In measuring the calorifc inten-
sity of solar radiation, arriving at the
conclusion that the heat emitted from
the sun and poured down upon the earth
in one year would suffice to melt sheet
of ice thirty metres thick and enveloping
the entire globe. - Popular Science

AN ANCIENT BATTLE AxE.-On claim
81, on Whitewood, Mr.. Smith, while
cutting bedrock drain, found battle
axe firmly imbedded in the rock, eight
inches down and about six feet below
the surface. In size and shape the in
strument much resembled the old styIe
of battle axe presented to the Northern
tribes of Indisns by the Hudson Bay
Company's traders many years ago. At
the same time it was found the axe was
thickly coated with cement, which also
filed the eye, and all Of which showed
free gold. When and how this relic of
other days became part of the deposit
of Whitewood creek will probably for
ever remain mystery, although expert
antiquarians may find in il clue to the
existence of race who, in mechanical
workmanship. equalled the best efforts
OF the artists of the nineteenth century,

PETRIFIED NERoES.-The bodies of
those who fell in The late European war
are now being exhumed by the subur-
ban municipalities of Pars for interment
IN several cemeteries, and fact full of
scientific interest has been discovered.
AT many places, more particularly at
Chatillon, the bodies, notwithstanding
the fact that they have rested five
years in the earth, have remained intact.
AT La Croix de Berno, ON the opening
of tomb containing thirty three Ger.
mans, they found them enveloped in
their heavy mantles, more resembling
sleepers than the dead.
AS regards the causes representations,
the scientific men say that these may be
attributed to the locality, the nature of
the soil, the thick solid cloaks, and to
the fact that they fell in health, ana had
not in them the same elements of cor
ruption as those dying of disease. The
medals, crosses watches and money were
found undisturbed, and served to iden-
tify them. These have been sent to the
friends of the victims in Germany.

ORATORY VS.. JOURNALISM.-THE day
for speeches has gone by. Webster,
Clay, Calhoun, with all their eloquence,
could not move this generation as they
uid their own age. The reason is that
the press superseded the forum. When
the country was small and newspapers
were few. voters were obliged to depend
upon public speakers for their political
ideas. Mass meetings were the serious
matters, and had direct effect upon the
canvass. Now they are mere celebra-
tions, in which parties utter their en-
thusiasm. The last of the great debates
was probably when Lincoln met Doug
las on the stump in Illinois, and argued
the questions of the day in the imme-
diate presence of the people. But
speeches are not now made to be heard,
but to be read. The great orator who
speaks in hall cares far less for his
5000 or 1000 auditors than for his 1OO,-
600 readers. Another reason why ora
tory is becoming every year less effect
i've IN moving the people is that it is pre-
coded by the press. Mr.. Bristow
made good speech the other day in
New England, but his argument had all
appeared before in the republican jour
nails. Mr.. Durand spoke at Hartford,
but his ideas had previously been ex-
pressed in the Democratic newspapers.

CHINESE sQUALOR IN SAN FRAN

From Scr1bner's Monthly
Indy idually, John Chinaman is clean

pans clean and bright, washes his hands
in going from dish to dish, is orderly,
fresh in appearance, and ever arrayed IN
spotless white and blue. Follow him

become one of herd of animals living
in a state of squalor and filth, at which
even Digger Indian would shudder.
Fifteen Cinnamon will live, sleep, and
cook, in hovel or cellar twelve feet
square, having only door as means of
admitting light and air. Clouds OF ran
cid smoke issue continually from the
common chimney, window and door,
through which John and his friends may
dimly be seen crawling, cooking, smok-
ing, and sleeping, for when Coo Lee has
nothing to do, he generally crawls into
his hole to sleep or smoke. The large
companies boarding houses are no bet
ter. Every story is refioorea, and made
into two, and often three, the standard
height of room being trifle over or
under five feet Clean at first, the build
ing soon becomes grimy, and then black,
and then dirt-encrusted from garnet to

of the curious gather round and try to
believe that they live within block Of

is no difference between the blackness of

ing-holes. OF course, there are clearly
exceptions, -the restaurants, and some
few of the rich merchants stores, for in

CURIOUS FACTS IN SURGERY.

| A very interesting observation is often
made in men, in whom, for the purpose
of an operation, piece of skin Is re-
moved from its original position and
made to grow in another place. In Or
der, for instance, to replace nose that
has been destroyed by disease, or has
been wanting from birth, surgeons de-
tach triangular piece of skin from the
forehead, so that it is only attached by
its apex to the root of the nose, between
the eyebrows they then fold the piece
over downwards and sew it on the skin
of the face, in the position of the nose.
The new nose, after time, grows on
completely. If, however. it is pricked
with needle, the person does not feel
the prick on the nose, but on the fore
head, the original position of the skin.
This sensation does not continue long
after the operation, and the person grad
ually becomes conscious that the locality
OF the sensation is now different one,
and thus, by experience, learns to deter
mine it correctly. A similar and no less
interesting observation is made in the
case of persons who have undergone
amputation. They very frequently make
the remark that they have sensations in
the amputated legs or arms, just as if
the limbs were still existing. They feel
in them the effects of frost and warmth.
They say they feel pain in this or that
toe of the lost leg, that they feel tickling
and itching, and distinguish the exact
point where these feelings take place.
The explanation of these facts is quite
simple. In the stump of the amputated
leg lie the divided nerve trunks, which
have provided the entire limb with SEN
sorry nerves. In the healed scar the
nerve-stems are often irritated and
since the irritation Of the nerves is con-
veyed to the brain, it causes sensation,
and simultaneously produces, we might
almost say, from habit, the picture OF
| the same part of the body in which they
naturally end. The brain, therefore,
refers all these sensations, from the ex-
perience it has gained, to the same limbs
in which the irritated nerves originate,
even when the limb itself is wanting.
This very remarkable phenomenon is a
manifest proof that the action of sensa
ton takes place OILY in the nervous cen.
ter of the brain, since even when part
of the body is wanting the, sensation OF
| its existence and irritation does not ap.
pear.

A LITTLE Too FAsT.-A favorite pro-
gramme with the hotel dead-beat is to
hand large sealed envelope, stuffed
with paper, to the clerk, and ask him
to take care of 'tthose $500 for few
days. The game was played at a hotel
IN Detroit, and the clerks are on their
guard. A seedy-looking old man regis
tered at the house, and after dinner he
handed the day clerk an envelope mark
ed $3.50, and asked that it be put in
the safe.
''You can't play that game on me.
mister I" replied the clerk, and he tore
the package in two. As he held up the
ends his eyes began to bulge out. He
had torn eighteen new $40 bills in half
and he had insulted the owner. One
reason why he wasn't at his post The
balance of the afternoon was because he
was FASTING those bills together.

COLONEL SPENcER's ssSPooNs. 1T is
told of Colonel Charles Spencer, coun-
sellor at-law, that some years ago he had
to defend one Marshall, charged with
larceny. and against whom there was
very strong evidence. Before the trial,
Spencer went to his client, and told him
that his only chance Of escape was in a
plea of insanity, and he advised him to
play the lunatic and to answer all the
questions put to him with the word
"spoons."
''Guilty or not guilty." asked the
clerk.
''Spoons," drawled the prisoner, with
a blank stare.
"Come plead guilty or not guilty, re-
peated the clerk.
Spoons. % was the only reply.
Prisoner, will you answer the ques-
tons put to you, or do you want to be
punished for contempts" asked the
judge.
"Spoons," bawled the prisoner, still
unmoved.
At this point the counsel for the pris-
oner interfered and told the court that
the client was not in condition to be
put on trial, as he was evidently not re-
sponsible for his actions, and it was an
outrage on free citizens, etc.
''Do you understand what is said ?"
asked the judge, addressing the prison
en-
Spoons" was his reply, in accents
wild.
1t was evident that the man was crazy,
and the judge ordered him discharged.
He was taken in charge by his friends,
who were present and left the court with
him. Counsellor Spencer followed him,
and congratulating him on his escape,
suggested that it might be good idea
to pay his fee. His client stared at him
in blank amazement and moved away
with the simple remark, "Spoons p
