A COLD SUMNER.
A Man Frozen to Death Amid Intence
summer Heat.
meridian Miss Mercury


Mr.. James Knox, young man OF the east
ern part Of this county, has been strangely
afflicted for about year. Hot or cold, he
was always affected as 1t freezing to death.
His case has been examined by several Skill
full physicians, and, we understand has puz-
zled them all. He was constantly using the
devices to warm himself that man might
who had been chilled by exposure to extreme
cold, sitting around rousing fires, enveloped
in blankets and the house closely smut up,
and this though the weather was at summer
heat. 1t is said he would sit down by the
fire and hold his head down to it and almost
roast it In the effort to warm. 1t Is fact that
he nut cloths on his head to protect the
scalp from actual burning while doing
thus, and the cloths have been actually
them to In endeavoring to warm his head.
Some time ago he made visit to Livings-
ton in the hope of being benefited by the
artesian water, when DIR. Webb Of that town
saw his case Lately he had determined to
return to Livingston and try again the wa
tiers, and again consulted DR.. Webb, going to
his office for that purpose. He seemed as one
suffering from extreme cold, and asked DR..
Webb If he had any fire in his office. He told
him he did not, and that it was too hot to have
fire and be comfortable He said he could not
stand it, and ran out Of the office into the
street for the benefit Of the sunshine to warm
himself The next day DR.. Webb had him in
his Office again to make more critical exam
ination of his case, and had him rousing fire.
He carefully tested with thermometer the
degree of animal heat he carried, and found
it near normal. With all of this trouble
he lost little flesh, and kept a good appe-
tite for food and preserved rather a health

Livingston before he wanted to. return, com;
planning that he was freezing to death, and
wanted to get somewhere to warm. Meadows
insisted on continuing the journey on home,
and drove forward. Knox jumped out Of the
wagon and ran off into the woods. Meadows
pursued him, and compelled him to return
and get into the wagon again, and drove on.
He got as far as Mrs Peteet's-Green Grants

That Is, Its per centage of gain on the monthly
drawing Is four times as great as any other
lottery In existence and five times as great as
any gambling game, including bunco, ever
played In America.
In the defense Of the Lottery Company
published in last Thursdays Ptcdylee, Gen
erals Beauregard and Early argue in favor
of the monopoly character of the Louisiana
Lottery on the ground that IL lotteries are an
evil "it Is better that they should exist as
monopolies than that the right to con-
duct them should be general" 1t Is more
than absurd to pretend to the people of Lou
isiana that the Louisiana Lottery seeks to
enforce act No. and the various other acts,
guaranteeing it monopoly from any vir-
tuous consideration, either because lotteries
are immoral or to protect our people from
bogus or fraudulent lotteries abroad; it Is
more than absurd to pretend this; 1t is a
direct insult to the intelligence OF the people
of this State.
No; not content with monopoly grant In
it's charter, the lottery bought from half a
dozen Radical Legislatures at heavy cost,
supplementary laws and acts to prevent any
other lottery tickets being sold or any other
lottery scheme published in the State, because
it well knows that it cannot stand compe-
tition: because it's terms and prizes and
schemes are so unfair-iudged even by the
moral code Of gamblers and lotteries that 1t
could not sell dozen tickets In the State
unless protected by just such acts as Nos. 8

The Louisiana Commission,


A chapter of the secret history of the Louis
lana commission was unearthed by Glover s
committee yesterday, which makes a rather
more serious showing for John Sherman than
anything which has yet been developed. 1t
seems that Sherman, at the setting out OF the
applied to the First National Bank of New
York, member of the syndicate, for the sum
of $4,000 to pay the expenses of the commits
sion, promising that the amount would be re-
stored to the bank through an appropriation.
National Bank expected to have and has
had, very profitable dealings with the Treas
ury Department. To borrow money in this
way In anticipation of an appropriation was,
however, an unlawful proceeding, and Mr.
way provided by the constitution and the
laws. Furthermore, the check drawn by the
bank was cashed at the sub-treasury in New
Orleans-another illegal act.

Republicans WailIns over bad Fortune.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The loss Of the
Oregon Legislature and consequent loss of a
Senator, causes considerable modification
among Republicans here. They had not
counted upon this, and the case is doubly ag-
gravating, as it comes at a time when the
party could i'll afford it. A handsome work
in the Senate after March. The present en-
ployees of that body are looking with alarm
upon the prospect, and Democratic aspi-
rants for the fat places are already offering.
1t is charged by some that Mitchell caused
the loss of the Legislature by his anxiety to
secure his return to the Senate It is alleged
that he is a weak man and heavy weight on
the party, and the disaffected elements took
this method to unload him.

The Senate.

The election Of aDemocratic Legislature
in Oregon changes the political qualification
of the next Senate to the following: Certain
Democratic, forty-one; certain Republican,
one. The prospects favor the election Of five
Republicans and three Democrats from those
claimed as doubtful, though if the Democrats
keep on as they have started out, having al
ready gained three Senators in States which
went Republican at the presidential election
Of 1876, these figures will have to be more
than reversed to meet the state Of the case.
Davis, of Illinois, is the Independent. A
Democratic majority Of six over all is certain !;
majority of fourteen is probable.

pound than the average grades of open kettle
sugars.
5. The product Of crop OF 300 acres cane.
fair average for grinding, is worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 more than the same product
II manufactured in open kettles.
6. The product of any stated amount OF
windrOwed cane, II not unfit for manipulation,
treated by vacuum boiling process, Is worth
from two to ten times as much as product
from like amount of cane In same condition
treated with open kettles.
T. The vacuum pan turns out grades OF
sugar which, under existing revenue laws,
have higher tariff protection than open
kettle sugars.
AS the above noted advantages have been
demonstrated to exist to practice or are
known to many engaged in the business of
cane culture and sugar manufacture, it seems
singular that such q small proportion OF our
sugar-houses are fitted with the vacuum boil
ing apparatus. We learn, however, that q
large humber Of vacuum pans have been con-
strHcted by the foundries OF this city during
the past year, and that many OF these will be
ready for the harvesting OF the present grow
ing crop of cane. 1t Is to be hoped that the
results of the present crop will be such as to
enable many more to be constructed next
year.
The Improvement in the sugar machinery
of our State will be followed by a correspond
ing increase in the production of her cane
fields, and the standard Of the product made
can be so raised as to defy competition, as it
is now made by the comparative few COM
pIete manufactures among the thousand
sugar-houses in the cane region OF Louisiana.
