Political Notes.

The Evansville Journal says: Jeems
went in as compromise man, and it
is barely possible that in taking him
the democratic party has compromised
itself.
The Worcester Press has critically
examined one phase of the Presidential
question and reports: "As Presiden-
tial candidate, Charles Francis Adams
seems to have died of irritation of the
Bowles.''
The nomination of Holman would
have been to defeat the party in this
State; that of Landers to possibly save
the party, but ruin Hendricks. Will
liams, we believe, will accomplish both
without half trying. EranSrille Jour
nal.
The National Republican remarks in
cidentally that NEARLY all of the demo-
Gratis in congress to-day, who make
themselves noisy in abuse of the Repub
lican party forfeited their lives by trea-
son TO the country, and ought at least
to have been banished from the coun-
try.
The DesMoines State Register states
the case briefly: THAT the Republicans
having platform long since erected,
cemented and confirmed in war and
peace, ought easily to find proper
candidate to stand upon it. On the
other hand, the democrats are driven
from post to post; first, to find the can
didate who will win; and next to find
the platform that will not destroy
him."
The New York Graphic says of the
American press: 1T has reduced de-
famation to fendish art and has made
it so that the highest office is scarcely
considered honorable. 1t viii be a sad
day for this country when libel shallhave
done its perfect work and our best men
shall decline TO accept office. Disgrace
full epithets and infamous stories inev-
itably tend to lower the moral charac-
ter of the public service.
The South Bend Daily Tribune, speak
ing of Williams nomination, says:
His honesty is unquestioned, and so
is his ignorance. Should he by any
combination of circumstances be elect
ed he would simply become tool in
the hands of scheming politicians who
would govern Indiana TO the intesests
of their own pockets. The thoughtful
Democrats of the party are as much
put out by his nomination as the Re-
publicans are jubilant about it. Par
ticularly so are the Holmanites, because
Williams nomination is Landers vic
tory.

Decidedly Queer-A Russian Doctor in
Philadelphia ION Centennial Business
Explains a Remarkable Case.
From the Boston Globe.

The strangest of all strange tales
comes attributed to Hungarian. Jour-
nal, copied from the Medical Weeklg
Journal of st Petersburg. Atmidnight
ON the 22d of September, 1874, at Oren-
burg, the Ural Mountains of European
Russia, a Jew-Alexander Chorkev-
lay dying with typhoid fever. At the
moment he was thought to be passing
away he revived, and rapid recovery
ensued, but he no longer spoke his own
language nor recognized his own family.
In fact, he didn't know himself when
he looked in the glass, but beheld
stranger whose appearance WIS unac-
countable to him. He behaved to his
former intimates so strangely that
he was thought to be insane, and he
was taken to the learned professors OF
the Medical University of st. Peters
burg. 1t was found that his new lam
guage was English, and that he had a
very clear idea Of his past experience,
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-05-18

but it was entirely different from that
of the Jew of Orenburg. He said that
his name was Alexander Durham, and
that he had always lived III New West
minister, British Columbia, North
America, where he had family. How
he came in Russia, and had the form
and appearance of Jew were COM
plete mysteries.
Professor OrlOw, who became greatly
interested, came to this country to look
after certain Russian interests connec-
ted with the Centennial Exhibition.
While in Philadelphia he noticed an ac-
count in newspaper, of the strange
case in New Westminster, British Col
umbia, of Alexander Durham, a fur
dealer, who at midnight on the odd of
September, 1874, lay dying of typhoid
fever, but had revived. When he re-
covered he no longer spoke English,
but a jargon of Hebrew and Russian,
and did not recognize his family or any
of the people about him. He was sur
prised, moreover, to find himself a blonde
English-lOoking person entirely UNI
familiar to himself. He protested that
he was Jew, and always lived in
Orenburg, Russia, under the name of
Alexander Chorkov. Professor Orlow
posted off to British Columbia without
delay. Meantime the Orenburg man
had disappeared from among the stran-
gers who claimed to be his kindred, and
had confronted the New Westminster
family. The learned professor and the
two dead men, come to life, met. There
was no explaining except that the two
souls of Alexander Durham, and Alex
ander Chorkov, leaving their respec-
tive bodies on opposite sides of the
globe at the same moment, had some
how got frightened, and in attempting
to return to their mortal condition, had
each got into the others body.

From noon 10 dewy eve, "a summers day"
Their hearts beat high within them
Joy quickened their pulse; they placed
their heads upright on their shoulders,
they did wink with their eyes, and cry
All, hal But there was on the COM
mittee more perfidious wretch, (he
was Republican, than Nasby's Joe
Bigler, or Pollock, and with the most
annoying interference, he asked the
witness, "How did the President get to
your bedside at that time of night? Did
he ring the bell?" The chairman was
just about to declare the question irrel-
evant, as of course it was, for what
could the ringing of a bell have to do
with the nocturnal visit of a President?
But the witness was too quick, and
without the slightest conception of the
high hopes which he buried at one blow
he said: Il want you to understand
gentlemen, that President Grant i'm the
body never did me or mine harm; he
has only done me that great wrong, as
a spirit.n
Then all those Democrats took their
heads down from off their shoulders
and put them under their arms. Then
they spit in one anothers' faces, and
adjourned to Sanderson's Congress
ional." Alas, that they could not have
risen to the emergency They should
have treated this testimony as they did
that of ex-Attorney-general Williams,
and expunged the last question and an
swer, not permitting it go to the coun-
try, and then the case would have been
complete. Or they should have taken
the bull by the horns, proclaimed the
statement true, and asked with terrific
force, IF Grant can do all this in the
spirit. what is he not capable of in the
body?" They might even have claimed
that the witness was dead, killed by
Grant, that his spirit only was testify
ing, and then have dilated on Grants
fendish cruelty in following a man
thus after death. All, there was no
master mind on that committee, or they

FARM AND HOME.
THE OLD BROWN HOUSE.

Inc OLD BhOWN hOCSE.
The trembling shadows of green leaves
Upon the old roof hay
With noiseless fiutterings throughout
The long, long summer day.
The warm, glad sunshine softly crept
Down through their cooling shade,
And shining arrows, tipped with gold,
Among the shadows laid,
And gently waved the elm tree DER,
And light the winds came down
Upon the old house nesting there
The dear old house Of brown.
The woodbine clambered tenderly
Above the lowly door,
Trained by soft hands, whose gentle touch
Will guide the vines no more;
A honeysuckle, on whose bloom,
Mid fragrance, slept the dew,
And humming birds light lowered round
Where roses thickIy grew;
Beneath the low green messy caves
The swallows darting wings
Went in and out, with twinklings bright,
Through many balmy springs.
Beside the narrow grassy walk
The fi.wers, with hearts of gold,
Were nodding, while gay peOnies
Their crimson leaves unrolled,
And hoIlyhocks, red, pink and white,
Along the borders grew,
While yiolets mid bright green grass
Upturned their eyes of blue;
But stfll the graceful elm tree Was
The glory and the crown
OF the old house beneath the shade
That dear old house Of brown.
