Serious Popular Error.

1t is surprising to find that so important
and respectable an official as the Warden OF
the Montgomery county Jail at Norristown
could be influenced by the vulgar error that
prisoner found hanging by the neck in his
cell,and supposed to be dead, but who might
have been yet alive could not be cut down
until the Coroner arrived. That is the state
ment in the report of the Wahlen suicide,
and the statement is the Warden's own yer.
sion of what took place. When Whalen was
found hanging,the Warden was about to cut
him down, but one of the under.keepers
called out that it was against the law to do
SO, in the absence of the Coroner, and so the
Warden left the body hanging. Possibly
Wahlen was already dead, but if he was not
this giving way to very common but very
stupid error, prevented any attempt to re.
store him, and so enabled him to carry out
his purpose of taking his own life, to escape
execution under sentence of the law.
Old world notions and errors are long.
lived in this new country, as this instance
proves. There is nothing as matter of law
that requires the body of dead person
found under such circumstances to be left in
the condition in which it is found until the
Coroner arrives. 1t is generally recommend.
ed to do so, as prudential consideration, in
order that surrounding conditions and cir
cumstances may not be unnecessarily dis
turbed, which would, in many cases, obliter-
ate indications bearing upon the time, place
cause or manner of death. But where there
is ,easoi to suppose that life is not wholly
extinct, every possible means should be used
promptly 10 revive it. There is no reason,
either in law or humanity, why body found
suspended should not be Immediately taken
down for the purpose of restoring animation,
If there is the slightest ground to believe
that life is not wholly extinct /; and if the
body is manifestly dead, there is no law re-
quiring that it should be allowed to remain
in that condition until the Coroner arrives,
for the cause of death in such case is OBJ
yious. The popular error above referred to
has not infrequently led to refusal or re-
iuctance to apply restoratives, medical help
or other assistance, when it should have beer
done instantly and on the spot.
We copy the above not only for the ex
cellent sense contained in it, but becaus
manyof our citizens labor under the sam
error. Especially was it so in the VA
Liew murder, where the body laid for hour
in the highway.

HARRISBURG. March IL, 1873.

The two most important measures of the
session have stood in st4iu quo Ior the past
two weeks. These are the Philadelphia Re-
corder's bill and the bill creating State
Banking Department After a safe but
stormy passage through the House the Re
corder's bill seems destined, or at least
threatens, to ground upon reef in the Sem
ate. The Philadelphia Councils stand in its
way. by a resolution almost unanimously
adopted by the select and common councils
OF Philadelphia the legislature is urged not
TO pass this bill. A preamble to this resolution
Iecites that this bill is a measure originated
evidently for the benefit of the person who
may be appointed under its provisions, and

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, II. u, March ~, 1873.
Really this civil service reform of Mr..
Hayes has gone far enough. If the Senate
does not stop him he will make Grants nepo-
tism and favoritism respectable. His prom
ises on the subject in hi,letter Of acceptance
and in his inaugural were excellent His per-
Torrance has been in ludicrous.. contrast to his
promises. On Saturday your correspondent
met lady here who had just been turned
out of post Office in Illinois to make place
for striker" of Mr.. Hayes She is the
widow of soldier and has discharged the
duties of the Office to the acceptance of ev-
erybody. Similar instances are numberless.
i care nothing for discharges made to crafty
one set of politicians in a State, if equally
good men are appointed. This seems to have
been the case in Massachusetts, where Sim
mons, an excellent officer, was turned out to
make place tor another politician. 1t is vic.
lation of promises made by Hayes to be sure,
but probably the country will not suffer. The
case Of the Postmaster at Leavenworth Kan
sas, is just in point The term of the present
occupant will expire in April next, Sometms
since very serious charges were made agains,
him. The Post Office Department commen
ced an Investigation. While this investiga
tion was going on, and before the truth Oh
falsity of the charges could be ascertained Mr.
Hayes re-nOminated the man, stopped the in
yestigation, and tried, through Ingalls, ant
others, to have the nomination confirmed b,
the Senate without reference to a committee
This being resisted, and the Senate havin,
sent for copies of the charges, Mr.. Haye
withdrew the nomination. 1t will be notice,
this nomination was made month in advanc
of the time when vacancy would have oc
Cured, and unquestionably with the design o
preventing an investigation of charges of
serious character, A very little Of that kin.

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To get bucket Of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.

And Jill came tumbing after.
Having reset the cylinder and fixed the
funnel in the mouthpiece he turned the
crank and the diaphragm repeated the rhyme
not only as distinctly as he had uttered it,
but with so perfect mimicry of the Scotch
accent as to cause a general outburst of
laughter,in which the genial operator hearth
ly joined.
THE TALKING MACHINE FUNNY.
Causing the steel point to proceed from
the ending of "Jack and JILL" Mr.. Adams
again put his mouth to the diaphragm and
uttered in more varying tones, which had a
range from almost whisper up to screech-
ing soprano, the following:
Halo ! Hoop-la Ya-hool
Nineteen years in the Bastile
scratched my name upon the wall
And that name was Robert Landr-y-y-y.
Parlez vous Francois? Sprechen sic
Deutsch
Turning the crank backward until the
steel point touched the beginning of "Jack
and Gill, "he again gave the forward motion.
The diaphragms elocution of the rhyme was
on this occasion as good as before, and the
second conglomeration of utterance was de.
lvered by the vibrating metal with all the
characteristics of the operators CALCULATIONS
and recitation. For the sake of a novelty
the steel point was now caused to go along
the perforated spiral while Mr. Adams
whisted, yelled aud shouted all sorts of
ridiculous things into the mouth piece. As
result the bit of metal strongly affected the
risible muscles of the audience by something
like this:
Jack and Jill went-'Cheese itp-
Up the hill
To get bucket-'O, wipe off your chinr'-
Of water.
Jack fell down and-'Hello, young
Broke his crown
Feller, does your mother know your
out p
And Jill-Na-hoo I've bottled myself,
Edison -
Came tumbling after.
Halo hoopla Shut up !'-ya-hoo!
60 bag your head Nineteen years in
the Bastile -
I'm a'-Scratched my name-'a Jolly
Irishman,'
Upon the wall.
And that-'From Dublin town / came,'-
Name was-'Ha, ha, ha "-Robert Landry
-y.y.
Parlez vous Francais ?-Go hire hall p
Sprechen sic Deutsch 20, give us a
rest =
The effect of this WAS too ludicrous for
description, and for time all hands were
uncontrollably merry. Having put on and
caused the steel point to perforate new
sheet of tin foil, again speaking Jack and
Jill into the instrument Mr.. Adams made
the point travel backward and the diaphragm
reproduced the recitation, beginning with
