Apropos Of the recent walking tourna-
ments III the Coliseum building, the fol
lowing incident may be related
At an early hour a man who had an

tered an up town restaurant, kept By
man who takes al interest in manly
sports, and thus began

"Call again-yery busy-see you later

the restaurant man as he got away out Of
sight.
The man Shaw didn't seem greatly
surprised at this reception, and his chin
was still high as he walked into bill
noster's establishment and asked !:
sCan you do some posting for me r.
"Oh, yes. There's scarcely month in
the whole year that we don't post up at
least one dodger for some one or other

sheet bills next week, !" observed Mr..

"All our boards are secured for two
months ahead" interrupted the porter
with terrible earnestness, ard he at once
began to sweep the floor with dry
broom.
Mr.. Shaw coughed and went out. The
store Of confidence il his eye had been
reduced about one half, but be had good
card left. Making bis way to tobacco

was able 10 again enter into active llte
and concerns. Since the event Just De-
scribed. MI. - has thoroughly recovered,
but has no remembrance whatever OF the
intervening days between his supposed
death and resuscitation.
The practical application Of the fore.
going cases is that every one should
learn to know how to distinguish actual
from supposed death and that where ~
certain cases there fingers doubt as to
the final release from life, the apparently
dead should have the benefit OF the
doubt.
The following are the chief signs OF
actual death:
The arrest Of the pulse and the stop
page of breathing. No movement OF the
chest-no moist breath to dim looking
glass placed before the mouth. These
stoppages of pulse and breath may,
however. under certain conditions be
reduced to SO low an ebb that it is by no
means easy 10 decide whether or not
they are completely annih1lated. Cases
too have been known ir which the
patient had the power Of voluntarily sus-
pending these functions for consider
able time. The loss Of irritability in the
muscles "a fact which may be readily
ascertained by galyanic current1 is .
sign Of still greater importance than even
the apparent stoppage of the heart or the
breath.
The contractile power Of the skin is
also lost after death. When cut IS
made through the skin of a dead body,
the edges of the wound close; while
similar cut made during the life presents
an open or gaping appearance.
An important change termed the rlgor
nortis takes place after death, at varying
periods. The pliability Of the body
ceases, and general stiffness ensaes.
This change may appear within half an
hour, or it may be delayed for twenty or
thirty hours, according to the nature Of
the disease. It must, however, be borne
in mind that rigor mortis is not a con-
tinuous condition it lasts from twenty
four to thirty-six hours, and then passes
away. It commences at the head and
trunk, and then in the lower extremetes,
and disappears in the same order.
One Of the most important OF the
various changes that indicate death IS
the altered color Of the surface OF the
body; Liyid spots of various sizes occur
from local congestions during life; but
the appearance Of green tint or the
skin Of the abdomen, accompanied BY q
separation Of the cuticle or skin, is q
certain sign that life is extinct. 10 these
symptoms may be added the half-cfosed
eyelids and dilated pupils and the half
closed fingers. These facts, which We
have cleaned from the best authorities,
may perhaps be at some time or other q
practical use to our readers Ell.

The Minneapolis delegation in the House,
led by Hicks, is displaying the same narrow
characteristics which led to the war upon the
State fair. In short, Minneapolis has ar
rayed herself in the legislature against the
entire State. MI. Hicks loses no oppor-
tunity to air his local narrow mindedness
and array himself against all measures not
directly pertaining to Minneapolis. AS the
result, the country members of the legis-
lature are beginning to sit down on him, and
it is doubtful whether he can now secure the
passage of solitary grab in which his
locality is interested. They ought to have
understood his supreme selfshness long ago.
He does not even represent Hennepin county.
He is too narrow to even cover the whole
city of Minneapolis, and stands as the repre-
sentative of a precinct only, ready to destroy
every State interest which does not directly
benefit his own door yard. He does not OPP
pose measures simply because they are
hostile to his little patch of soil, but because
they are not solely and exclusively in his
favor. By this course Minneapolis has
ostracised herself from all the rest of the
State, and can hope for no cooperation on
any point from the country members.

SENATOR HILL, St. Charles, Winona coun-

SENATOR HILL, St. Charles, Winona coun-
ty, yesterday introduced bill for refunding
the tax paid into the State for the inebriate
asylum. The payment of this tax was OPP
posed by a large majority of the persons to
whom it applied, on the ground that the act
was unconstitutional, that opposition being
carried into the courts. few, however,
while believing the law unconstitutional,
thought it best to comply with the provis-
ions of the law until the courts had passed
upon its constitutionafity, trusting to the
sense of justice of the State, as represented
by the Legislature, for refunding the money
paid, should the decision of the courts be
against the law. While the matter was in
this shape the inebriate asylum was trans
ferred by the legislature into second hospi-
tai for the insane. OF course prosecutions on
the part of the State to compel delinquents
to pay the tax imposed ceased with the trans
fer. The result is that the men who fought
the law have their money, while those who,
while believing the law unconstitutional,
acted upon the theory that as good citizens
it was their duty to obey its provisions until
declared imperative, and paid the tax i'm
posed, are out their money. Under such a

The manner in which Mr.W. M. Campbell

wheat in the House yesterday stamps him as
a sagacious and able leader of men. His
bill, in the first place, was as nearly perfect
as it could DO made after the consideration
of nearly score of bills on the subject.
When the debate was begun MIR. Campbell
discovered that he was slightly in the mi

he had majority and then pressed vote
on all the amendments offered, succeeding
in carrying all but one just as he wished. 1t

over the most determined opposition, of
which he has every reason to be proud.

FoR man who is so frequently killed,
financially speaking, as Jay Gould, he seems
to come to the surface very often. His
downfall was heralded few days ago,
though it was admitted that he made four
million dollars in falling out of Union
Pacific. Almost any one could endure such
a downfall, which involved selling stock for
seventy cents which was bought for twenty
five cents. The latest intelligence, however,
is that he not only made tina cash strike, but
that he in reality is still the monarch OF
Union Pacific, and has perfected arrange,
ments for uniting the Kansas Pecifc and
Colorado Central with that enterprise. This
programme is expected to be executed the
coming week.

THERE was great crush at the governors
reception last evening. Both gentlemen and
ladies were packed together like sardines in
box. They all shook hands with the gov
ernor and his estimable wife, and passed out
into the corridors of the hotel, to be crowded
and re-packed over and over again. They
passed to the dining room, partook of re-
freshments, and then assembled once more to
the over-crowded corridors, there to be
damned together again. The occasion was
ostensibly in compliment of the members OF
the legislature, but it was in reality simply
congregation of the so-called fashionable
society of the State SO uncomfortably large
as to be no compliment to anybody. The
custom is an absurd one, and though we. dc
not blame our estimable governor for follow
ing precedents set him, We think the time
will come when such customs will be more

A CERTAIN newspaper in this city charges
the members of the House special commit
tee on local bills with lodging votes on i'm
portant measures. Tho truth is that the
great number Of local bills referred to that
committee requires their almost constant
attendance in the committee rooms, and
they cannot be present to vote on all meas
ures without neglecting far more important
duties. We can say with truth that none of
the members of that committee are men
who are afraid to show their hands on any
question that may come before the House.

condition of affairs it would seem there is
but one just course left to the State, and that
is the course provided by the bill of Senator
Hill
FORCING A Sale OF THE COMPILED
STATUTES.

HOHCANO a SALE OF THE COMPILED
STATUTES.
There are several reasons why House file
29O, which is now in the hands of the SEN
ate. should receive close attention from that
body. On the face of it the bill might be
said to indicate nothing, but in reality it
provides that the State shall buy five hun
dred copies Of the statutes which Judge Geo.
3. Young has compiled, and further that the
county commissioners of each county shall
supply each justice of the peace and each
town clerk in the county with copy. It is
estimated that there ere at least two thousand
of these officials, and the bill accordingly
makes a compulsory sale of some twenty-five
hundred copies of the statutes at six dollars
per copy.
If the statutes are to be bought at all, they
should DO supplied in this wholesale manner
at very much lower figure. -Four dollars
per copy would certainly be enough to pay
very liberal profit to the publisher. But the
vital point IS that the whole matter is
purely private business enterprise. The
legislature has given it's legal sanction to the
publication and that is all that should be
done. The sale of the work should rest like
any other work with the parties who chose
to purchase it. A few years ago the. ex-
pensive Bissell's statutes were crowded on
the public and similar effort made to Sc
cure a compulsory sale but the effort failed
and everyone now repudiates the Bissell
compilation as fraud. We
don't believe either the interests
of the public or the legal
fraternity demand compilation of the stat
utes at this time, butLso long as it was a
private business enterprise it was matter
between the publishers and their patrons
constitutional convention is likely to be
called by the present Legislature, and follow
ing that must come re0SsSon of the stat
utes, a work which the State must perform.
That will be work which all officials must
be supplied with. A compilation of the
statutes at this time, is well enough for
those who care to incur the expense, but the
State and counties should not be called
upon to purchase single copy at any price
IT the work is good for anything let it stand
on it's merits, but there is no propriety in
compulsory sale of twenty-five hundred
copies or any other number, at six dollars
or any other figure. We doubt whether the
bill would have passed the House if it had
been understood, but there is now no ex-
cuse for its endorsement by the Senate.

HE House of Representatives at Wash
ington struck out the Brazilian subsidy steal
yesterday. Dunnell voted for the grab,
Stewart voted against it and Strait lodged.

THERE are yet q number of bills before the
House that are liable to cause considerable
discussion, but if the debate is not more
abridged than it was yesterday, the three
hundred bills awaiting action will stand but
small chance Of getting through. There are
now about a hundred bills on general orders
for consideration in committee of the whole,
mostly of q local nature, and it will take half
day to dispose of them. A little more dill
gent application to business, and shorter and
