inscnsible, and feebly asked for a
drink. This was refused him, and
lo staggered toward the gas-jet to

moment aftcrwarl be heard low
moan and noticed fash Of fire,
and turning around he saw Harley

Strcator, III, May l6-The criti-
cal condition of the poisoned mi
ncrs remains unchanged to-day
Inflammation has set in, and theh
tortues are even more severe than
they have been before. There Il
the faintcst possibility that most
Of them may recover, while
should they all survive, 1t would
indeed b considered miraculous
The best medical aid that can b.
procured has been with the suffer
crs constantly. TO this fact, aud
that they were so soon taken IN
charge, can be attributed the livc'
Of those who may recover.

81 have long been satisfied that
all that Is necessary TO bring about
a complete reconciliation and har-
mony between tho people Of the
North and South, Is that the mass

lowances for the difference Of cdu-
cation, habits aud modes Of tho't
and peculiar institutions under
which they have grown mp, which
time and friendly intercourse alone

An old woman, pious and God
fearing, was heard praying. In
her humble petition she told the
Lord that she had nothing to cat.
Some mischievous boys heard her
prayer, and brought bread and
threw II down the chimney Willie
she was yet on her knees. Going
into the house while she was eat
ing the bread, she called the atten-
ton Of the boys to the evidence Of
Gods goodness in his answer ia
her prayers. They sought to show
her that she was mistaken, ~ they,
and not God, had thrown the
bread down the chimney. "Thst
don't alter Gods goodness" she
replied; "God sent the bread, i
the devil did bring It,"

A SURGICAL WoNDER.-The post-morteii.
examination held OH the body OF the China
man lately shot by three assassins furnished
case Of extraordinary interest to surgical
men, and one which will undoubtedly re-
ceive more than usual attention from surgi-
cal journals. One of the three shots which
entered the body struck the back near the
waist and passed completely through the
body. At the autopsy it was discovered
that the ball had cut the spinal cord in
twain, and part OF the clothing Of the muir
dered Chinaman was found imbedded
in the spinal cord. 1t has long been estab-
lished that whenever the spinal cord is
harmed in the slightest degree paralysis en-,
sues, but singularly enough, the wounded
Chinaman, within afew days after he was
shot, walked around the prison hospital
without the slightest difficulty. He was re-
moved from the hospital by his friends,
however, and died on the following day.
The deceased was shot, it was thought, by
some members Of the Sam Sing party in Vir-
ginia City, who participated in that bloody
riot in that town some months ago.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

WASHINGTON ITEMS Washington, D. c.,
January 2O.-The Senate. during the morn

dent in regard to the occupation OF Peters
burg by the military on election-day; Messrs.
Withers and Johnston participating in the
discussion. AT the expiration OF the morn
ing hour, on motion OF Mr.. Edlnunds, the
Senate took up the bill reported by the
special committee in regard to the count Of
the electoral vote. Both parties in the
Senate caucussed this morning on the electc-
ral-count bill. Neither. party meeting was
intended to be binding. In the Demo cratic
caucus nothing was said against it, but in
the Republican caucus more opposition was
expressed than was expected. Morton has

lican caucus OF the Indiana Legislature, In
