Death from Tight Lacing

There has Just died in Pimlicc,
England. Mrs. Kezeia Wheeler, al
old lady at the age of seventy seven,
on whom an inquest has been held.
Mrs. Wheeler was found dead In her
bedroom one morning, dressed for
Church, and with her Bible in he
hand, having apparently expired sud
denly. The surgeon said that deatb
had ensued from the bursting of al
aneurism, and the post mortem ex
animation revealed terrible evidence
of tight lacing on the part Of the
deceased, who had been a very beauti-
full woman. In fact, one end OF the
old lady's ribs had been pressed
against the internal organs, and had
kept them constantly at half action,
as it were, until apparently an an
eurism was produced, by the sudden
rupture of which she died. Mrs.
Wheeler must have been an except
tionally healthy woman to have thus
lived in spite of the corset which i'm
prisoned part of her organs and In
terfered with their natural develop
ment; had she not laced, she would
doubtless have been centenarian.

1t is notorious fact that those far
mers who are the tightest on the
negroes in their employ never fail
to get as many hands as they wish.
We know several of cur planters
who treat the negroes working for
them exactly as they did their slaves
working them from daylight to
sundown, allow no idling, and if a
darky trespasses any of the rules he
is tied up and sound thrashing ad-
ministered to him; then if he leaves,
the employer hunts him up, brings
him back, and doubles the dose.
This generally makes an effectual
cure, and the offender resumes work,
makes a good hand, and is anxious
to hire to the same man another
year. Crawford (Ga.) Echo.

Here is another story from Wash
ington: There is a doorkeeper
whose duty it is to hoist the flag
over the House, which designates
whether that body is in session The
memories of the glorious past are SO
overmastering to this faithful devotee
of the lost cause that he will not
raise the flag in person; that duty is
performed by a negro at ten cents a
day. When it comes to lowering the
flag, the Confederate performs that
proud and graceful Office himself.
The subject is said to worry the
Speaker.-[New York Herald

JEFF. Davis is audacious and fool
ish enough to deny the atrocities of
Andersonville, and try to defend
himself from the charge of response
bility for the treatment of our pris-
oners in that den of horrors. He has
written long letter, of which the
following gems are fair samples:
''Ail the horrors and atrocities in
fiicted upon the Union prisoners in
the South did not compare with the
cruelties and tortures inflicted upon
Confederate prisoners in the North.
Southern people have forgotten
much-have forgiven much of the
wrongs they bore. it be less SC
among their invaders, it is but an
other example of the rule that tht
wrong doer is less able to forgive
than he who has suffered causeless
WrOpcs."

PRoPosED BATTLE MONUMENT AT
PoINr PLEASANT, VA.-The PIT. Pleas
ant Register states that Rev. W S.
Hill, the architect, exhibited in that
place last week, his design for q
monument to be erected at Pt. Pleas
ant, in commemoration of the cele-
brated battle with the Indians at that
place, in 1774. The monument is
to be 100 feet high, and will stan
upon four columns; the floor will con-
tain thirteen marble slabs, represen-
ting the thirteen original colonies;
the arch will contain slabs represen-
ting every State of this Union, the
whole to be surmounted with the
Goddess of Liberty.
The Register says:
'sThe model received the hearty ap-
probation of the large audience pres
ent. Mr.. Hill left with his model
on Tuesday morning for the Legisla-
tures of Ohio and Kentucky, whom
he will ask for small State appropri
alton toward this monument.
We add the hope that our Legisla
