TANNERS FEAT.

As remarkable as was DR.. Tanners
forty-day ahstenation from food, his
record as an eater since the completion
OF the task is more wonderful. Be
ginning on Saturday at noon with n
glass Of milk and 4 handful of water
melon, he has done nothing since but
throw food into his yearning, cavern
Gus stomach. 1t was predicted that
the critical period would be reached
when hc attempted TO bring his Stom
ach around TO its normal functions.
The learned doctors al! said the most
delicate care would have to be exercised
to prevent an explosion. But the
venerable ostrich has set all established
rules at defiance again. Since the bell
rang on Saturday he has been absolute
ly omniverous in his absorption OF
solids. No Chesapeake pungy ever
carried such an assorted cargo OF fruits
and vegetables. He has devoured
watermelonS, apples, potatoes, peaches,
bread, beetsteak, and has absorbed no
end of beef tea, wine and Bass ale.
The advice of physicians touching
slippery-elm. tiax-seed tea and cat meal
has been thrown to the dogs, and Tan
ner is now established as the most re-
markable animal on the continent. At
the end Of his fast he weighed l2lls
pounds. At 6 o'clock last night he
drew 130 pounds and his weight was
still increasing as the solid chunks OF
comfort We're taken on board. 1t is
claimed by Tanner that his perform
ance has taught the medical profession
that the old anti-phloeistic treatment
OF bleeding. pursing and dieting was
the correct thing: that there Is some
thing besides oxygen. hydrogen and
carbon in the brain, and that electricity
rather than food is the motive power OF
life. This is all nonsense. Tanner
simply established the fact that he is an
abnormal creature. He has done that
which not one human being in a nil
lion can do. The fact that French
man can swallow fork and live, that
Blondin can cross Niagara Falls on a
rope or that Henry Clay Dean has
lived thirty years without washing is
of no general consequence to the world
at large. \ New England fisherman
crosses the Atlantic in dory, but that
proves nothing. for the City Of Boston

He had formal application in writing

the promotion should be made. Mr..
Lincoln read it, and looking over his
glasses said:
"Deming, why wouldn't it be Just as
well to say you want this promotion
without giving any reason for it? Just
step into the other room and make out
another application.
Mr.. Deming retired and soon return
ed with the Presidents suggestion car
ried out.
That's more like it," said Mr.. Lin
coin. as he looked the document over,
and he then went to a table and wrote
on the back of the application: Let
this be done. \. Lincoln"
There, Demine,' he went on to say,
THAT is better; it will be done all right
now, and we shan't be called on to
give any reason for it.

We copy the following from the Kirks-
viii (Mo.) Democrat:
Robert Clark and family returned
from an extensive trip through the
East last week. During his stay in
New York and Pennsylvania, Mr..
Clark kept a sharp lookout to see
how political matters were running.
He says that the whole East is perfect
ly wild with enthusiasm over the nom
ination of Gen. Hancock; and that the
present indications are that Hancock
will carry Pennsylvania by 10000 ma
jority, while New York is dead certain
of an enormous majority. Mr.. Clark
is close reader and observer of pol
itics.&c."
We fear our friend, (who was a
staunch republican while he lived
here, has fallen into bad company
out there and IS learning their evil
ways. The statement lacks the
essential clement o, truth, there being
no evidence of any such wild en-
thusiasm over the nomination of Han
cock" While no one has anything to
say against the gallant soldier, peron-
ally, we have not met, neither have we
heard of anybody who has met a single
republican who is willing to vote the
democratic party into power
for the sake of voting for Hancock.
No, Pennsylvania is sure for Garfield
and Arthur.
