So far as we have been able to learn
tie objects of the organization known
Knights Of Labor, are good. They
K TO promote the interests of soci-
y by elovating to higher planes of
ought, education and action, the
assess of laborers-the bone and sin
sa x the country. They know they
are downtrodden by the superior in
telligsnee with which wealth endows
their employers and all other capital
ists Of the world. They know also
that among themselves they have the
germs Of as fine thought end ability
as any other class. Then, why not
develop them? Why not bring them
up to the level of equality-yea,
more, to the altitude of statesman
ship and scholarship?
With free ballot they propose
using it henceforth in the interests of
home and fortune-of domestic hap
p'ness and Independent competence.
In the past they have marched to the
POLLS year after year by thousands
and riveted upon themselves the man
acles of oppression. They will do SO
80 longer. They have never been
abe to see why the profits arising
from the investment of dead capital
should be so much larger than those
of live, active, asduous labor, or how
it is that the rich should grow richer
as the poor grow poorer. They have
come to tha conclusion that much of
the mischief comes from vicious legis-
'ation, AID that while tho true equi-
librium may never be fully and per-
nanently adjusted, it ought, at least,
to be approximately settled. The
nearest way to effect this is through
the ballot-the great instrument of
olf-help and self-preservatioa.
Hen9e, if We are truly informed as to
tae objects Of this semi political order,
aas undertaken q noble task
upon that first OF all first prin-
individual independence-i5
IS foundation where all sooner
81 later build. It only remains to
tl4Sm to be true to Asmselcesi Thence
thay cannot be false to friends or foes.

Last Thursday an alarm was given that a
gang of rebels in full retreat from Drog-

found ouI force 4 great deal too little, ard
were far too near to think of rerreatino.
Death was in every face; and to 1t we went.
By the time our party were killed we began
to be all alive. Fortunately the rebels had
no guns. except pistols, cutlasses, and pixies;
and we had plenty Of muskets and ammu-

were drowned in an adjoining bog. It fact.
in Il short time nothing was heard but s.

found was a few pixies without heads. a par

PRESERVING DEAD BODIEs.-Mr. KEYS
mann, United States Consul General at BeT-
lin: communicates a description Of a newly
discovered process Tor the preservation Of
dead bodies. The inventor or discoverer
had secured a patent for the process, but
the General Government, conceiying the
high Importance of the invention, induced
the patentee his patent. Thereupon the
Government made public through the press
full description of the process as set forth
in letters patent. Tn following extracts
are translated from the German newspapers
of October %:
The dead bodies of human beings and
animals by this process fully retain their
form, color and f1exibility. Even after a pc
Rod of wears such dead bodies may be dis
sected for purposes Of science and criminal
Jurisprudence. Decay and the offensive
smell of decay are completely prevented.
Upon incision the muscular flesh shows the
same appearance as in the case of a fresh
dead body. Preparations made of the sew
eral parts, such as natural skeletons,
lungs. entralis, ETC., retain their softness
and pliability.
The liquid used is prepared as follows: In
5000 grammes of boiling water are dissolv-
ed 100 grammes Of alum, - grammes of
cooking salt, II grammes ~salpetre, 60
grammes potash and 10 grammes arsenic
acid. The solution is then allowed to cool
and filter to 10 litres of this neutral. color
less, odorless liquid, 4 litres glycerine ard
l litre methylic alcohol are to be added.
The process Of preserving and embalming
dead bodies by means Of this liquid consist,
as a rule, in saturating and im~pregnating
the bodies with it. From |! to ) lltres Of
the liquid are used for a body, according
to its size.
