4 Remarkable Story OF a Yeung Lady
Twelve Years without Food.

The New York Herald publishes a
remarkable story, based on the state
ment of DR.. Chas L. West, ofthat city,
in regard to the case of Miss Mary j.
Fancher, of Brooklyn, who in 1865, at
the age of 10 years, had her nervous
system completely shattered by acct
dent which belell her whilst stepping
from a street car, and by which she was
dragged oyer the pavement a block.
In February, 1866, Miss Fancher lost
all her senses, even her sense Of touch,
aud did not take any food until May, but
she lost her speech in few weeks and
became subject 10 frances, In June
nour.shment was forced by a pump into
her stomach, which made her deadly
sick. As a result her throat closed,
ment or uttera sound. For twelve
years she has laid in one position. for
nine ID a rigid or paralyzed state. Dur
ing these twelve years she has virtually
llyed without food. Siuce the 4th Ol
July her eyellds have remained closed.
Her rest is taken in the trance stale,
which answers for sleep. Her mental
state is more extraordinary than her
physical. She has the power Of second
sight. All places are alike open to her
mental vision. Distance interpOses no
barriers. She will dictate. the contents
Of sealed letters without single error.
She will visit the family circles OF her
friends in distant towns and (ell what
they are doing and describe their per-
s0nal attire. Persons entering tie
house OF her aunt, whether acquamt-
ances or stangers, are instantly rccog-
nizcd. She works in embroidery and
wax without any patterns. Her wax
flowers are marvels Of beauty. In
cutting velvet leaves for pincushion,
she holds the scissors by the knuckles
Of thumb and finger of left hand, and
bringing the veivet with thumb aud
finger Of right hand-both hands being
Behind her head-shc cuts the leaves
as sharp rs if they had been cut with a
die.

Why does not the silver bill give US
more money? Because the secretary Of
tAc treasury, under the influence Of the
syndicates and National banks, manages
TO keep il all in the house. The bill
provided for coming so millisns at
whack, but you can travel q week
without seeing legal tender dollar
Only the halves, quarters and dimes,
made Of 392 grains, and not legal
tender in sums above five dollars, can
be seen. The 4l2t grain legal ten der
silver dollar. coined under the bill Of
last winter, is nowhere to be seen. Why?
Because it is legal tender and would
answer all the purposes Of money,
make it little mere plentiful, lift the
pressure, correspondingly destroy the
power ofthe shaving shops to plumber
by high rates OF interest and usury.
We should be not overharsh with the
poor striker who sets the law at de-
fiance when law is thus Ignored and re.
pudiated under the shadow Of the
capital by men appointed 10 execute
it. The vengeance Of the gods will
mete out just retribution to the ghouls
and harpies who are thus distressing
the country.

But, then, there were Bocock aud
Taliafsrre & Co. famous funders, who
held that this legislature should meet

convince others that such is the require

The General Assembly.

The constitutional amendment pro-
yiding for biennial sessions of the legis-
lature is causing no little disturbance OF
editorial equilibrium. 1t was supposed
by the people that this amendment
would take effect with the las. session.
but some Of the table lawyers, "notably
Bocock aud Talaferro, held that this
could not be-that the object and
intention of the trainers of the amend
ment, four years ago. was to give it
force emily after the year 1879. So they
passed jointresolution 10 this effect,
and Governor Holiday approved it as a
constitutional law. Now the members
must convene, and the funding organs
are callingit a steal Of per diem or
salary. II is a little too late. These
funding gentry ought to have admonlsh-
ed their champions, Bocock, Taliferro
& Co. and their Governor, a year ago.
Then they could have made ample
preparations for the two years by their
appropriations. As matters stand
where would the money come from Tor
our institutions? No money can be
paid without authority OF law, and only
the general assembly can make the law.
Shall We starve the lunatics, the deaf,
dumb and blind, the Jail birds and
penitentiary conyicts: Shall we let this
systematised robbery Of the school fund
60 on for another year? II is true that
this costs something but it must be
done new. TIE expenses, however,
might be met by taking some adequate
steps to make Bradley Johnson dis
gorge that sles, 900, which investiga-
ton by three distinguished and dis
interested lawyers showed he owes the
State from The Chesapeake & Ohio
canal transaction.
We agree in opinion with many
others, that this coming session is un-
constitutional. But is it not now a
necessity? UnqestiOnably it Is, and
there is no sense in cayiling at it. 1t
was al accomplished blunder when the
joint resolution was passed and op-
proved. 1t would seem to us TO be
best for the legislature to go on and DO
what is necessary for the State and her
Institutions, and then adjourn. Above
all, we do not want any laws enacted
by body Of doubtful constitutional
authority. But the State must live,
and she must provide for her children
committed by misfortune to her chari-
table care. Also she must protect
society against general Jail and peni-
Tertiary delivery.
