When a distinguished scientist says he cares
no little about this mornings eclipse of the
sun that he shall not get ont of bed TO make
observations upon it, all the unscientifc
world and the rest of mankind will be justi-
fed in taking its customary nap. But the
eclipse will occur, nevertheless, and that
portion of the world which Is abroad between
7:24 and 500 a. m. may observe some slight
dimnution of the brightness of the sun. Less
than one-third of tie disc will be covered
when the eclipse has reached its height, and
q good part of the observation will have been
accomplished before sunrise.

Resuscitating the Dead.

John Hall and Currcll Smith, hang.
cd at Murl'reesboro, Tenn, recently,
were handed over To the physicians
for experimenting purposes. Both
men were pronounced dead within
seventeen minutes, cut down, placed
in collins, and hurried as speedily rs
possible TO q house three hundred
yards distant, where Drs. Byrne and
Murfrcc, of Murfrccsboro and DR..
Sleger Of Nashville, had arranged
instruments and appliances for the
purpose of rcsuscilation. In the
presence of q large number Of physi
clans, thirty minutes after the rope
had been cut, the experiment was
tried. The clothing Of the dead mur
dcrers was quickly torn from tho
bodies, which were wrapped in hot
blankets, the dislocation of their
nccks reduced, and artificial rcspira-
ton kept up. Electricity was then
applied TO different portions of the
brain and spinal chord, and other
slimuants used. Muscular move

WAS TO show the action Of electricity

The stimulants were then removed
when the bodies ceased TO show any
signs OF life. The bodies were given
to tho doctors at the request of the
murderere for dissection.

Exactly.

The New York Nation, referring to
the Whitaker "outrage," truthfully
says: "Throughout the length ano
breadth Of the North no white person
makes companion of colorad man
if lie can avoid it. The cases where
cololed people are ever treated as So
cial equals occasionally, by invita-
tions and the like, may he counted

character of moral demonstration.

American society,"" Any one wLo
has travelled widely. through the
Northern States will recognize the
truth of this observation. All Re-
pubiicans know it TO be true, and ye.
they keep up their demand that the
contrary practi:e-w which they reject
thcmselves-shall prevail in the
Southern States. An apt illustration
of the hypocritical and intolcrant
spirit which is dilfuscd through the
Republican party. -

HThe Kissing Bush"

One of the gentle customs that has
been permitted TO exist in English
homes since the time Of the Druids,
finds expression in the "kissing
bush" ltis generally neat bough
of mistlctoe, and when the household
decorations arc going up it is rarely
ever forgotten, especially where there
are young men and maidens. II
hangs in the ball, and the charm lies
in leading your fair friend beneath ii
and kissing her. Among the middle
class this feature Of the holidays is
never neglected, and at friendly and
family reunions it occasions much
merriment. In this country, howev-
er, the tree has been discarded. The
way to do is NOT to lead, your. friend
beneath tree and kiss her there,
but to kiss her where she is for nine
times out Of ten, when she gets under
the tree, she'll change her mind
Procrastindtion is the thief OF many

Love Overoomes Everything.

Elizabeth City, n. c., is in q state
Of great social excitement over the
recent sensational elopement and mar
riagc Of n gushing young couple.
Jonathan Ivy has for some time been
courting the handsome daughter of q
respected and well-to do citizen. The
young lady's name was Florence Sey.
mark. Her parents did not approve
of young Ivy's advances, and finally
forbade him their house. The lovers,
however, managed to meet clandes-
timely and made up their minds to an
elopement. Old man Seymark, by
some means or other, got wind of the
proposed escapade, and went cunning
for Jonathan. Coming up with the
gay young lover, he blazed away at
him, hitting him in the left shoulder,
and inaicting painful but not dan
gerous wound. Florence was over
whelmed with grief by her fathers
hasty conduct, but her passion for
her wounded lover was intensified q
thousand fold. She sent him o letter
telling him she would fly with him
eho0 hiSuVl IL lC 'FOulN COluo lOr ner.
SO that night young Ivy put in an ap-
pearance with close carriage about
! o'clock. Miss Florence was in a
terrible dilemma, for her cruel par
ents, to insure against any escapade,
had not only locked the girl in her
room, but also taken away every
stich of her clothing. But she was
not to be batlicd. She made rope
out of the sheets Of her bed and let
herself down 10 .lhe ground with no
other garment but night dress cover
ing her blooming charms. She told
the coachman to ..'look the other
war," and, after her lover had helped
her into the carriage and covered up
her shivcring form with the carriage
robes, she made him sit on the box
with The coachman. They drove to
the house of friend, where Florence
was attired in proper garments, and
then proceeded to the house of the
sympathlzing preacher, some distance
from town, where the lovers were
speedily united in wedlock.
