Drunkard's Body After Death.

A post-mortem examination of nearly
seventy persons who had died from tho ex-
cessive Use Of ardent spirits, showed the
following facts:
]. Congestion OF the scalp and of the
membranes Of the brain, with much seri-
ons (waterv) efiusions; the substance OF
the brain white and firm. as if it had lain
in alcohol for one or two honrs.
2. The lungs not always, but frequently
congcsted or inilamed.
3. The heart Iiabby, enlarged, dilated.
and loaded with fat on the outside, the
bood in it of a cherry-red color, and with
no tendency to coagulate.
4. The stomach perfectly white. and
thickened in some cases. in others, having
patches of chronic Inflammation. In the
worst cases, the larger portion of the stom-
ac! covered with that species OF niian,m,-
ton which causes tie blood to be poured
from the minute veins.
5. The liver enlarged-in old drunkards
weighing from six to twelve pounds.
6. The omentum-a sort Of apron that
Immediately covers the abdomen in front

WE do not know how much Gre
dence is given to editorials like the fol-
lowing. Eastern bondholders' organs
haYe been telling this same story for
three years past. But the Philadelphia
Times insists that
The general and substantial revival
of business is unmistaksble on every
hand but most persons fail to note the
growth of thrift until they are brought
face to face with it in their everyday
transactions. The advance in SILK
goods has been very decided during
the last ten days, aud cotton and 9TH
er goods of prime necessity have been
steadily advancing also. The general
aspect of trade, and especially the
trade that supplies the great mass OF
the people With their wants, points TO
q certain and permanent advance in
prices, proving that the demand Is rap
idly growing and that the ability OF
consumers to purchase is steadily in
creasing. This condition Of the mar
ket cannot be Iu any degree specula-
tive. The marts of business where
consumers of fabrics deal have none
of the qualities of gambling stock
markets, and the one explanation of
increased demand and increased pnce
Is the increased prosperity Of the eoun-
try. Unless all signs are to be at iault
we may look for stesdy advance OF
prices, not only for silks and articles
of luxury, but for all other goods
which enter into the daily wants Of the
community. 1t is quite probable that
the cheap prices OF the present will
not be known again for ten or twenty
years to come, as the country was
never better prepared for long caree
Of the most healthful prosperity.

THE Supreme Court of Tennessee de-
clares that the Legislature had the
right and power to abolish Memphis,
and by bare majority the court holdP,
further, that the "tax.ng district" is
not the city of Memphis and cannot be
sued and sold for the debts of Mem
phis. The Supreme Court of the
United States Is about to discuss and
determine the same issues. II wal de
eide, as did the court of Tennessee,
that the,city might be anuihilated but
that creditors could not be cheated by
change of the name of the corpora
ton. That must become extinct and
the legislature should meet and bury
it out of SIGHT forever.

writes, "does not anticipate the COM

THREE men have recently killed them
selves when attempting or contemplate
ing the deaths of others. Hoel, in
Ohio, shot at one Hough three or four
times and then, when his weapon
failed to fire. examined the lock. The
cap was exploded and Hoel fell dead.
Ellis, in Missouri, last week, went
with his gun to kiln the seducer Of his
daughter. A struggle ensued and he
shot himself. or was killed by his own
weapon. Here was q nice fellow in
Texas, about PAlo Pinto, who was
practicIng the mnrderer's art and twirl-
ing hls pistol deftly about his finger
and firing 1T as it revolved. A bullet
missed its way and went down and
across the geod mans abdomen and
he went to grSsa. and all fiesh is grass,
and especially that which totes an ar

the Governor forgot to commend to

The Sentinel will yet be edited and
printed by these girls. The country
will be proud of such women, and they
alone deserve respect who, knowing
how, have the courage to fight for
themselves the battle of life. For this
end each daughter of Texas should be
trained and educated, otherwise they
