alt is all nonsense to say that Miss
Fancher is liumbug," observed a prom
incDt New York physicians yesterday,
"wlien there are we'll established eases
that arc even more remarkable than
hers"
Being inquired Of what cases these
were, he went on thus:
II will give YOU one in my own expc-
ricncc. In 1919, the cholera year, a man
in the last stages Of the disease was put
ashore from All Ohio river steamboat at
Cincinnati, and taken TO the hospital in
which ! was then engaged. He died.
He was not identified, aud was buried
with the bed clothes wrapped around
him. Four days aftcrward the body was
cxhurcd and brought into the hospital
fuv dissection purposes. The demonstra-
tor Of anatomy went into the dead broom
to prepare the suhject--hut perhaps. not
prepare Il body Tor dissection. Doyou e
Ignorance OH this interesting technical
question being candidly confessed. the
doctor described the process, and So got
to the marrow Of his story.
"Ynu see, the first thing to be done il
to cut the carotid artery, so as to inject
the c"!nrin@ fluids into the soav--rctl
and b!nt--to mark the course of the ar
telics and the veins. Well, sir. the as
tonishing part OF this case WAS when the
carotid was cnt (lftcr the body had been
underground fnar days, renlember.) the
blood Spurictl ont. 1t was too late them
bnt rlp to. tli"t time the man had been
alive"
"Hnw do you explain il ?"
" can't. Nobody can, Bat if the
man had been in q state OF suspended
animation while actually buried, so that
il was impossible to detect any sign of
life in him, where can You fix the limit
of such eases Miss Farcher's case il not
50 extreme ~ the one have described,
and Which saw: but the partial sus-
pension ~ the functions of life III her is
not particularly surprising. 1t certainly
isn't impossible. Only, we can't cx-
plain it,"
But Miss FHncher has net accepted

have her friends accepted it for her"

" Now follow Ho1f iacts ABOUT sacia

"That i, a hard question:" said the
Doctor, "wc don't know vet that there
is any limit. If life cau be suspended
for four days. why not for four years, or
ten, any number Of years, and then come
back? Or if its functions can apparent

CANTO III.
SACRED OBLIG ATOMS.

Tho "sacred, obi cations, which We
have read so much about in this State,
of late years, consist cf interest bonds,
issued in the name OF the State OF Louis
lama, and in the name OF the city OF
New Orleans.
1t is estimated that out Of an amount
of about S31 900, 900 OF State bonds stand
ing in the name Of the State i'll 1876,
about Ga, 000, 900 were issued in. an i'm
proper manner, without reasonable con-
sidcralicn or value received. 1t is we'll
known that the parties who issued
these bonds, did not represent the peo-
ple..of the State, but, on the contrary, were
known rs !; notorious band Of vgabonds
and tramps, who, under the auspices of
II military power, usurped the Judicial,
legislative and executive Offices of
the government. 1t is also well known
that the acts and doiugs Of this horde Of
communists were at no time accepted rs
the acts and doings OF the people of
Louisiana and that the forced submits
sion to this rule WAS, from first to last
sllbmittedsto under protest, and i'll some
instances, notice OF protest served on the
parties interested in collecting these
bonds.
1t is estimated that out of an amount
of about S24,CO000Q bonds standing in
the name of the city of New Orleans in
1876, about $4,000, 900 were issued in an
improper manner, without reasonable
consideration or value received. 1t is
suspected, and with good reason, that
the parties who issued these bonds were
the mere dummies of the usurpins State
officials, and We're used by them as sup
Elementary robbers, i'll carrying out the
State policy of plumber and spoliatton.
It is well known that the basis of most
of these bonds rested on warrants, Ger
tificates of indebtedness. and other EVIL
dences Of promises to pay, which were
issued in the most reckless manner, in
unlimited amounts, for the double pur-
pose of filling the pockets Of these alien
tramps, and bankrupting the State and
city governments.
tits we'll known that most of these bonds
have been transferred to the hands Of
innocent third parties who bought them,
we'll knowing the notorious character
of the parties they bought from, who
were the off sc0nrings OF creation and
came flocking to New Orleans like lot
Of turkey huzzards.. But then these in
noceDts at home bought them at junk
shop prices, and think, no doubt, they
are able to take the risks. Well, let
them take the risks.
1t is well known that these bonds are
now the leading stocks OH the New Or
leans Stock Exchange, and are held by
citizens and chartered companies, who
are tryps g tnfH aH fnes5 Psnny by
and trying to edge off from tlieir share
of the public responsibility, by forcing
the whole burden Of these bonds on the
ahouIrers of all the other leading in
tercsts Of tie stale, instead Of uniting
e ne f. SS s eEy ia td Gffs ah S eHf
e eu e. to ,e crush the tax payers as long
as these " sacred obligations are per-
mitted to rest on them:

CANTOII.
0NER-PEOpECTION,

We are told THAT Q great portion OF
our trouble and distress arises from
oyer-production. This is true us far as
the bond mills are concerned, in the
over-production of interest bearing
bonds and the taxes for interest GU
these bonds are draining the very life
out of the people. This is particularly
the case in this State, where millions of
bends have been issued, (ostensibly for
the construction OF railroads and levces,)
by a lot Of vagabonds and tramps, who
would not be trustedby corner grocery
man with the collection of his monthly
bills. Where are these bonds, and where
arc the railroads and levees
The people of the State Of Louisiana
and city of New Orleans, have been
taxed enough to build thee or four
railroads, but have got none for the
bonds issued tor their construction.
This is one of the leading causes Of
Railroads leading to Cincinnati, St.
Louis and Chicago, have drawn the
business in the wrong direction. Rail
roads that were projected, and paid for
in bonds, in ddrdnce, to draw trade to
New Orleans, are only drawing taxes
from the people to pay interest on those
bonus-an1 that is all the bonds were
issued for.
Another cause of the decay Of New
Orleans i'll particular, and the State i'll
general, is he fact that the vagabonds
who issued these bonds are not yet in
the penitentiary. The idea, that such
banlitti rebbers and their assigns, can
get any standing or hearing i'll our
courts. is enough to deter a legitimate
capitalist from investing his money III
this State and would lead him to sup
pose that our courts were instituted Tor
the protection of public robbers, and
not for the protection OF property, as
popularity supposed.
St. Landry democrat., 1879-01-25

IF the convention bill Is adopted and
we think that it is highly probable that
it will be-the people should take warn
ing by this and be very careful as to
whom they choose as delegates. Ger
tainly all those who have, for ambitious
reasons, allowed themselves to be whip
ped into q blind obedience to the ring
that now controls the Democratic party,
should not be chosen. The duties OF Il
delegate to a convention which has the
forming Of State constitution, are far
different from those of the partisan,
and will require wider scope OF intellect
and q puler patriotism. Party interests
should be subordinate to the hive inter-
ests OF the State-the future and per-
manent good of all its people.
If pure and patriotic men are not
chosen the convention will prove fail
nre and the constitution adopted by it
only party platform which will require
change or patchwork before the ink with
which it is written is hardly dry. And
thus will an excuse be gifeil Tor an end

CASTO ~.
' FOUR YEARS MORE COOP STEALING"

One of the principal incentives of the
party Of High Moral Ideas and High Old
Steaings. in tile campaign OF 1876, was
t;oual and bigotted feeling, existing
among the people of the United States,
would giye'it another pi)anpe for 0 new
lease of power to rob and plumber ti,e
South for four years more.
The result of the election in that year
was a partial disappointment to this
party, ae far as their chance of getting
the stealing were concerned ; hnt the
demnition grind is still going 9n never
theless, in this State.
The temptation to keep up the monot-
Daons steal, left open to the new party
of Reform Democrats and C0nscrya-
tives, was too great to resist. Tho Off
Gals and BURNERS had To get back the
money they had spent in the campaign;
and the only way of getting it back
again was to hcgotiatc with the holders
Of the Sacred ohijSatiGns, issued by the
party Of High Moral Ideas and High Old
Stealings. Consequently, it, was con-
sidercd necessary by the new party in
power to keep on good terms with tho
holders Of these sacred obligations, and
also for the holders OF those bonds to
keep themselves in favor with the new
party. -
Tie negotiation was a good one for
the officials, bunmera and stockholders,
but it has not been good one for any-
body else. The exhausting drain to
meet the interest on these sacred oblisa-
tons still goes Oh. natWi thstanding the
loud promises of the new party to stop
it, and use their utmost power to arrest
it.
Tilc effect has hcen TO dry up the tax
payers until they iiagc little or nothing
left land il the drain is not arrested,
they en- make up their minds to emil
CRATE, to settle down as a servile peas
amy. It is only one step from bold
ing their property under the sweet will
Of the bendholders, to working for them
at snel, wages as they choose to give
them, on starEe, II
The best government is the govern
