long time subject to "fits.n On the
evening named he was using his pocket
knife, felt one of his sick spells coming
on, and in his alarm thereat put the
knife into his pocket without closing it.
The threatened spell did not attack him,
and he, forgetting the knife In his pock-
ct, started for the stable and tripped over
q stick of wood, in the fall the blade of
the knife cutting the spermatic artery.
He felt no Inconvenience or evidence of
a hurt for some time, the wound, strange
to say, not bleeding at once. When the
injury was discovered in was bleeding
furiously, and much trouble was had In

sand pieces, scattering the burning oil

resulted from the explosion, as the
flames were quickly subdued.

who were charged with having muir
dered the infant child of the latter by
beating it on the head with billet of

rendered his decision overruling the
motion for new trial in the case of
VIM. Geese, convicted of murder in the
second degree, and sentenced the pris-
oner to seven years and three months in
the eastern penitentiary. Mr.. Shearer,
counsel for defendant, at once gave no.

The Enterprise says: "A little dog
belonging to Thomas Gill, of Big Spring,
the other day followed a rabbit some
distance in hole under some rocks, but
failed to come out. Next day an effort
was made to release him, but owing to a
heavy rainfall the work was abandoned.
On the following day however, the rocks
were quarried out and the dog found
dead, the imprisonment evidently being
too much for his sensitive nature. The
rabbit seemed none the worse for his
strange companionship."

missionary the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of
consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and
all throat and lung affections, also a positive
and radical cure for nervous debility, and all
nervous complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, has felt 1t his duty to make it known to
his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive
and desire to relieve human suffering, will

Nor GRANTED. Judge Whitaker has
denied the motion for new trial. lii the case
of Anderson, the returning boarder. The
Judge holds that the verdict is in accordance
with the evidence, and after review of the
testimony of witnesses in regard to the age
of Prince, juror, which proved nothing,
and a general resume of the testimony, which
satisfied the court that the verdict was a
just one, the judge said the motion must be
denied. This will doubtless cause considera-
bic swearing in administration circles IN
Washington, but it will meet with the ap-
proval of the country at large. Anderson
had a fair trial, ina fair court, with jurymen
of his own political faith IN the box, as well
those of opposite belief ;,
He was defended by able counsel, ard all
the evidence that could be brought IN his
favor was brought, and it was carefully CON.
sidered and admitted, wherever 1t was lawful
evidence. He ought not to complain. His
fate he brought upon himself by listening to
the voice of the tempter, who assured HIM
that the day of retribution would never come,
and that his fortune would be made by the
simple act of violating his oath Of Office. Let
him now bear his punishment like man, II
he has any manhood left.

Germany has more than 800. 900, 600 IN silver

less than the old American dollar OF our

WHAT INVESTIGATION REyEALED.-Ohio
has been giving some attention to her prison
system, and finds that the investigation was
commenced none to soon. A frightful state
of affairs has been brought to light. A cor
respondent describes the tortures inflicted
upon convicts for breaches of prison law as
of the most terrible and disgusting nature.
Men are kept for hours and even days IN a
dark and narrow dungeon, with their hands
fastened to the wall above their heads, de-
prived of food and pure air until reason and
life are almost gone. The gag the sweat
box, and most dreaded OF all, the ice bath,
are frequently resortel to, with disease,
insanity and death as the frequent conse-
duences. 1t seems almost Incredible that
such brutality should be practiced in a civil
lied country in the nineteenth century.

ABOUT EIGHT-ln a recent letter to
an old friend, Montgomery Blair uttered
thesepregnantfactsfor democrats through
out the whole country to ponder: Il
actually feel it necessary nov that | should
try to get the true issues of present poll
tics before the people. So many OF our
leaders are in the employ of the corpora
tons, and so many more stand in awe Of
them, that for the first time in my life |
have sought public station in order to
direct the public mind against the usur-
patton of all power by the political money
ed crganizatIOns-the great railroad COM
panies-the banks, manufacturing corpo-
raticns, and other institutions, created
by the governments, state and national
to absorb the whole governing power. Not
being able 10 get into congress because OF
the combination against me of the politi-
clans IN my state, availed myself of the
blunder they made last spring in taking
the vote of the people directly in the
nomination OF candidates for the legisla.
ture, to go before the people for nomi-
nation to that position, and l got nearly
all the votes cast, doubling the vote OF
any other candidate for nomination. This
shows how the people are on the great
question, and they will make themselves
heard, rely upon it. Now, some OF the
politicians even begin to chirp, as yet in
2 very subdued tone, but it Will become
bolder in time, and ere the next election
We shall have hurricane The working
men VIII quit the democratic organization
IN body if the leaders do not march up

r c,. vr,o Tn tho whole history

THE SILVER VETO.-In the whole history
of our government there was never before
vero of any bill by any president which was
overruled with such swift promptltude' OF
overruled by majorities In both houses 80
superfuously large. Until Andrew johnson
time no bill was ever passed by congress over
the veto of a president. Hayes IS not the
defiant, bull headed type Of man that fresi'
dent johnson was; but congress seems 10
show even more alacrity IN Illuminating fiin
and proving his want of influence than lt
did against the vetoes of Mr.. johnson. we
smpposeno intelligent Judge believed that the
silver bill could be defeated at this late day
by the presidents negative; but nobody
put so depreciating All estimate on hayes
influence as to predict or conjecture So over
whelming defeat OF his veto As that when
it encountered. Both the eontemptnous
haste and the surprising majoritles with
which the bill was repassed must be mortlfy-
ing to the president In the house the vote
was 1876 yeas to . nays. Had the vote
been only LAG yeas to 13 nays the veto wouid
have been equally condemned IN that pranch
of congress. In the house the SILVER men
had fifty votes to spare.
Even in the senate they succeeded beyond
expectation and had superhuous votes. The
vote in the senate was 46 yeas to ID nays,
the silver men having eight votes more than
they needed for carrying the bib over the
veto. And yet it is less than two days SINCE
white house circles. were protesting belief
that the veto might defeat the bill IN the
senate. So little does president understand
his weakness when he has sundered his rela-
tions with his own party in congress! Hayes
has begun at the wrong end. He does not
seem to understand that an ounce of preven-
ton is worth a pound of cure. An able
president in friendly relations with congress
could have checked the silver lunacy IN It's
earlier stages and have prevented its out
growing the power of his veto. 1t is sin
Cular phenomenon for bill to be stronger
after veto than it was before. With the
great advantage of being on the right side
Of the question the president has been fOiled
and mortified beyond the expectations of
those who knew how feeble his influence
had become. Had Blaine been president
and had he held the sound views OF Hayes,
it would. have been a political impossiblllty
for the silver bill to be repassed over his
veto.-N. Y. Herald.
