Death in tsae Dive.

Cincinnati Gazette.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Oct. 3O.-A few
days since a middle-aged lady, living in
the suburbs of this city, died from some
mysterious disease located in the head
The symptoms had long been manifested
but no treatment seemed to have perma
nent effect. fter death there was an
examination made, in which we'll known
Cincinnati physicians took part, and
which resulted in the unanimous decis-
ion that death was caused primarily by
the use, for a long period, of chemical
compounds for dyeing the hair. There
is said to hove been coating form ed
over the brain, causing something like
paralysis of that organ. The case is
regarded as an exceedingly interesting
one, and it is expected report will be
drawn up and published in some medical
journal by the physicians making the ex
animation. If these compounds, or any
of them in general use, are liable to be
attended with such results which en-
ployed, it is best the public should be
come fully aware of the facts.

Would the bells soll all alone?

Execution Of Anne EsoIeyn

In Houssae's memoirs" a little cir
cumstance is recorded concerning the de
capitation of the unfortunate Anne b.
leyn, which illustrates an observation of
Hume. Our historian notices that her
eXecutioner was Frenchman Of Calais,
who was supposed to have uncommon
skill. 1t is improbable that the following
incident might have been preserved by
tradition in France, from the account of
the executioner himself: Anne BUleyn,
being on the scatfold, would not consent
to have her eyes covered with a bandage,
saying that she had no fear of death.
All that the divine who assisted at her
execution could obtain from her was that
she would shut her eyes. But, as she
was opening them at every moment, the
excutioner could not bear their tender
and mild Chances. Fearful of missing
his aim, he was obliged to invent an ex-
pedient to behead the queen. He drew
off his shoes and approached her silently;
while he was at her left hand, another
person advanced at her right, who made
a great noise in walking, SO that this cir
cumstance drawing the attention Of Anne,
she turned her face from the eXecutioner,
who was enabled by this artifce to strike
the fatal blow without being disarmed by
that pride of affecting resignation which
shone in the eyes Of the lovely Anne
BOleyn

The major portion Of the butter is ship

The republicans OF Maine point
with pride to their record of twenty
two years of Government Of the State.
What IS there in the record that they
should be proud Of? 1t is record OF
mis-government, INSTRUMENTATION,
peculation, fraud, high taxes and hard
times for the people, that should con-
denim its authors TO eternal intamy,
and consign them to everlasting polit-
ical retirement. Beginning with the
bold stealings of their State Treasurer,
the virtuous and unctuous Benjamin
d Peck Of the clerical profession, it
has embraced the paper. credit swim
dlc--a most monstrous wrong-the
land steal and the official department
squanderings, till the state is heavily
in debt, taxation is high, property has
largely deprecated in value, the peo'
pie are suffering, while the Blaines' the
Morrills, the Hamllns, the Hales, the
Fryes and others of the ring of un-
scrupulous political thimble.riggers,
which has controlled the politics of
the state and shaped it's legislation and
general policy, have fattened upon the
spoils of office and grown rich at the
expense of the people. Few states
have been cursed vita a more narrow
minded, bigoted policy or more bit
ter partisan clique of rulers than
Maine. She Is now and has been
reaping the fruits of this rule and will
continue to for some years to come.
Her only remedy lies in defeating
these men in their desperate schemes
and filing her official places with men
who will have regard for the material
interest of the state and its people.
