Death and IiEhtning.

Nearly all the medical authorities, and
those who have been fortunate enough to re-
cover from a stroke of lightning, agree that
the electricity acts with such extreme rapidity
as to be absolutely painless. Prof Tyndall
relates that while standing in the presence of
audience, and about to lecture, he accidently
touched a wire leading from a charged bat
tery Of fifteen large Leyden jars. Life was
absolutely blctted out for a sensible interval,
without a trace Of pain. In another second
or so consciousness returned. He saWh him
self in the presence of the audience and in
contact with the apparatus, and realized that
he had received the discharge. The ~intellec-
tual consciousness Of his position was re-
stored with exceeding rapidly, but not so the
optical conlciousness. To prevent the audi
ence being alarmed, he stated that 1t had Of
ten been his desire to receive, accidently,
such i shock, and that his wish had at length
been gratified. But while making this ex-
PLANTATION, the appearance which his body
presented to himself was that of being in
separate pieces. His arms, for example
seemed to be detached from his body and sus-
pended in the air. Memory and power Of
reasoning and speech wers complete long be-
fore the optic nerve recovered from the cleo
tric shock. A5H @ . VI, '''t=t.t ?"

Twenty-Five years ago Senator James q.
Blaine followed the honorable but poorly
paid profession of school teaching the city of
Philadelphia. His school teaching days were
brought to a close by an incident looked npon
at first as a misfortune attended by ruinous
expense, but which in fact proved the road to
the foot of the hill of fame up whose slippery
sides he has since made so remarkable an
ascent. 1t the close Of a term of his school
the sudden illness of the mother of his young
wife called Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine to Augusta,
Me-, where the old lady resided. The trip
was a matter of great expense, to one of
Blaine's resources, and it was only to please
his wife that he reluctantly undertook it,
little thinking that the turning of the tide in
his worldly affairs had been announced with
the news from Maine. At Augusta he awaited
himself of a publishers offer and bargained
for q half interest in the Kennebec Journal.
The paper iourished, proving the foundation
upon which Blaine's fortunes were subse-
quently reared.

The industrial depression prevailing IN Eng
land appears to have extended to France, not
withstanding the long period of almost unex-
ampled national prosperity enjoyed by the lat
ter, in return, apparently, for the disasters ofthe
German war. The cotton manufacturers of
Rouen, in a letter to the Chrirman of the
Tariff Committee, state that not one quarter
of their productions find a market and that
prices have lately fallen twenty-five per cent.
owing to the low prices prevailing. A change
for the better must set in soon or cotton man
ufacture in France come to an end.

candidate for the same Office. Furthermore
the Partisan journal proceeds to say that Mr..
Bilks would certainly have been elected had
it not been for the Incorporate zeal of his
follower, De Young, whose attack on Kalloch
had the ~unlooked-for effect Of securing the
defeat of I" Mr.. Bilks.Y Our French friends

on American slang, although the word Blk

The French Legitlmists have experienced a
revival of their hopes it seems, since the death
of the Prince Imperial, and tie consequent
weakening of Bonapartism. The Bonapart-
lists who deserted the party at that time nearly
all allied themselved with the Republicans,
but still the fall of Imperialism strengthened
the Legitimists by re lowing one of the three
parties from the field, onlythe Royalists being
left to supplant the Republic, should the lat
ter lose the confidence of the people. The
birthday of the Bourbon Pretender, the
Count de Chambord, sometimes known as
Henry V. was lately made the occasion of a
re-warming Of party zeal among the support
ers of the ancient regime.

In London the call for a mass meeting at
Hyde Park to denounce the incapacity of the
government and demand an appeal to the
people met with no popular response. The
attendance was very small and not even one
speaker of prominence took the stand to con-
duct the prosecution against the government
before the high court of the people. The
English are doubtless exasperated at their
blundering foreign policy, some of whose de-
fects were brought to light in the Cabul af-
fair but the present is nc time to expect an
expression of feeling on the subject. Smart
ing under the indignity contained in the
astounding discovery that the folds of the
Union Jack were unable to guarantee protec-
