A Man Survives a Draining.

John Harris, who had his head split
open by falling ak at the new Yellow
Jacket shaft some two years ago, is
again on the Comstock. Although that
Ak fell about one hundred and sixty
feet upon his head, and he lost in con-
sequence q strip of skull bone four
inches long and two and half inches
wide, he has taken that head to En-
gland with him and brought it back,
and thinks good deal of it and with it
vet. He is one of those exceptional
cases in surgery of which there are not
half q dozen in the books, and which
ranks with that where a tamping iron,
blown by a prematurely discharged
blast, passed through a mans head
from chin to crown, and yet failed to
kill him. The cash made by this ak in
Harris head was large enough to kill
half a dozen men. When the bones
were taken by the surgeons from the
wound the large vein between the lobes
of the brain sent torrent of blood
gushing forth. 1t was stanched with
lint and the man rallied. The surgeon
feared to remove the lint lest he should
bleed to death, and it remained some
two weeks till it became so far decayed
as to force its removal. Contrary to
expectation no blood followed, nor was
there any second hemorrhage from the
wound Harris has pretty much re-
covered from the effects of the acci-
dent. He says he experiences no head
trouble whatever, but he has hitch
in his walk, sort of jerk, let-go-and-
go-on movement, which is the result
Of the hurt. He is q wonderfully good
man for one upon whom the expert
ment of dropping an ak 160 feet upon
his head was successfully tried.-Gold

In the Australian Forest.

Morning and evening the Australian
forest is awake; at noon it is asleep.
No greater contrast can be imagined
than between the morning hours and
those at midday. In the former the
very flowers seem to possess an active
existence. Myriads of such, larger and
more brilliant than those under En-
glish skies, load the air with the sweet
est scents; magnificent tree-ferns wave
their fronds or branches in the light
breeze; on old stumps of trees great
green and yellow lizards lie watching
for their prey; the magpie throws her
voice from the wattles, and possibly the
lyre-bird in the denser scrub; and in
the tall gums numberless parrakeets,
parrots, rosellas, cockatoes, butcher
birds, love-birds, etc., are screaming
and darting to and fro. But by and
by the intense heat will silence all
these, and nothing will be heard but
the chirp of the grasshopper and the
shrill sound of some unseen insect. At
twilight again there is a revival of life,
but not Of so cheerful a description.
The cicadas shrek by myriads their
deafening "p-r-r-r-r-r," drowsy opos-
sums snarl in the gum-boles, and focks
of cockatoos scream as some great gray
kangaroo bounds past them like be-
lated ghost. If there is marshy ground
near. the deep boom of the bittern, the
wall of the curlew, and the harsh cry of
the crane, mingling possibly with those
of the returning or passing flock of
black swans, will add to the concert.
In . moment of silence one may be
startled by the mocking laughter of the
jackass, or the melancholy /" mo-poke"
(or =" more-pork'') of the bird of that
name. The dead of night is not SO still
as the universal hush of the burning

What Is q Cold?

On a less authority than the London
Lancet would the theory be credited
that the resolve of person not to take
cold is ample protection against having
one. 1t is startling to discover"
says the Lancet, !" how little we know
about the conmoner forms of disease.
For example, a cold;' what is itP How
is it produced, and in what does it con-
sist? 1t is easy to say cold is a chill.
A chill of what part of the organism?
We know by daily experience that the
body as whole or any of its parts may
be reduced to considerably lower
temperature than will suffice to give
man cold if the so-called chill be in
flicted upon the surface suddenly. Is
it, then, the suddenness of q reduction
of temperature that causes the cold? 1t
would be strange if it were SO. because
few of the most susceptible of mortals
would take cold from simply handling
piece of cold metal or accidental con-
tact with ice. The truth would seem
to be that what we call cold taking is
the result of sufficient impression of
cold to reduce the vital energy of nerve
centers presiding over the functions in
special organs. If this be the fact, it
is easy to see why nature has provided
bue SGluuluS O1 d StTOuS III oA SuccAiuR
to rouse the dormant centers, and ena-
BILE them at once to resume work and
avoid evil consequences. This explains
why the worst effects of cold do not, as
a rule, follow upon chilli which ex-
cites much sneezing. Shivering is a
less effective convulsion to restore the
paralyzed nervous energy, but in a
lower degree it may answer the same
purpose. The shivering that results
from the effect of poison on the ner-
vous centers is totally different mat
ter. We speak only of the quick mus
cular agitation and teeth-chattering
which occur whenever the body is ex-
posed to cold and evil results do not
ensue. 1t follows from what we have
said that the natural indication to ward
off the effects of chill is to restore the
vital energy of the nerve centers. and
there is no more potent influence by
which to attain this object than a strong
and sustained effort of the will. The
man who resolves not to take cold sell
dom does.' --.sa# .et-...

A CowardIy Party.

The Democratic party is afraid of it
self. 1t is cowsrdly in the extreme.
Its leaders dare not announce policy
upon any subject. Congress has been
in session nearly two months. The De-
mocracy control both houses. They
have done nothing of an affirmative
character. The leaders have been con-
tending with their own fears. Each
one is afraid of every other one. Each
one is trying to keep every other one s
mouth closed. Suspicion fills their
ranks. Harmony, relativeto any ques-
ton of National concern, is unknown to
them. On one thing alone they agree.
This is, q purpose, by fair means or
foul, to carry the next Presidential cleo
ton. The lesson of the extra session
opened their eyes to the danger of
action. They disclosed their purposes
then, and defeat overwhelmed them in
the elections that followed. Then they
were defiant. Now they are as full of
dread as pet lambs. Then they were
going to "wipe every vestige of the
war measures from the statute books"
Now no one would suppose they had
even heard of that legislation. Then
she who dallied was bastard, and he
who doubted was damned" Now
they all daily and doubt. Every issue
which they made has been given q rest.
They want power, but are afraid to act.
Their assaults on the policies of the Re-
publican party have ceased. They dare
not come to the front with their oppo-
sition. They are on q still-hunt for
power. Through degrading and cow
ardly disguises they hope to succeed.
Never was a party SO put to it to hide
its true character from the people. To
show its true colors is defeat. To hide
them is cowardly. So it plays coward
to promote success. In this, too, it
mistakes the American people. They
don't like towards. They know that
such characters are either weak or
dangerous, or both. They know that
a party composed of such is not quail
fed to direct the affairs of great ma
ton. Progress cannot be made under
such leadership. Natural prosperity
cannot be promoted by cowardice. A
timid people never rank high amongst
the nations. A party never means to
do right that refuses to disclose its pur-
poses. Hide-and-go-seek will do for
children. but it don't push q nation
ahead. If this Republic wants to keep
in the front rank of nations, it must en-
trust its Offices to q front-ralk party.
Such is not the Democratic party. 1t
has voluntarily gone to the resr. 1t is
now proving its qualifications to fill
that position. There the people will
lot it stay.-Bssrlinsto' Hasok-Eye.

How Southern Republican Was Cheat
ed Out OF His Seat.

The story of Jere Haralson, colorsd
member of the Forty-fourth Congress,
and who was q candidate on the Re-
publican ticket at the last election in
the Alabama District now represented
(P) by the Confederate Brigadier
Shelly, who was never elected to his
seat, is one of the most forcible illus
trations vet furnished of the infamous
manner in which Republicans have
been cheated out of their rights in the
Solid South. His memorial to Congress
is the strongest document that has yet
been submitted, and the accompanying
proofs of outrage are so overwhelming
that the Confederate Brigadier should
be instantly expelled from the House.
Haralson shows in this memorial that
when the returns were counted large
number of votes were thrown out, so that
the record stood: Haralson( Rep. 6, $40;
Shelly Dem.) J., 8, 115; and Henry (Gr.)
314. The false character of the record is
shown on its face, since the registra-
ton of the district shows the whole
number of white voters to be $500 and
of colored 5000. Out of how many
votes Haralson was cheated it is impos-
sible to say without knowing the extent
to which Republican voters were bull
dozed out of the right of suffrage, but
it is evident that if there had been q
fair election he would have received q
majority of several thousand. This,
however, is of little consequence, for
Shelley appears with q majority 1915
larger than the entire registered white
vote, which of itself is an absurdity,
and shows that he was elected to the
seat he now occupies by theft and
swindling. The infamy did not stop
with fraudulent counting and destruc.
ton of votes. Shelley used money
in a corrupt manner. After Haralson,
indignant at the infamous manner in
which he had been treated, fled q no.
tice of contest, no Justice of the Peace
would take the affidavits of his wit
nesses. When the Judge of the First
Judicial Circuit at last consented to act
in that capacity. Shelley had thrown
Haralson's witnesses into Jail, and pro-
cured an indictment against Haralson
himself upon q trumped-up charge At
last, when the bulldozers found that he
was determined to pursue his rights,
they waited upon him with arms in
their hands and ordered him to leave
the State upon penalty of instant death,
whereupon he went to Washington.
He has been cheated out of his election.
He has been driven from his home by
force. He has been deprived of all
lawful means of establishing his right
to his seat, and, as the freedmen have
been stripped of their civil and political
rights, it is impossible for him to get
their depositions. There was no re-
source left for him except to memorial
ize Congress to order an investigation
of all the circumstances of this infamy
in order that he might have the oppor-
tunity to prove his right to the seat,
and, had it not been for the sense of
fairness that characterized the rulings
of the Speaker, the memorial itself

Is There No Remedy9

Southern Democratic papers begin to
recognize the fact which Republican
papers have so often pointed out, that
a Solid South implies Solid North.
Especially South made solid by fraud,
by systematic -ostracism or assassina-
ton, or by coercion and massacre. For
every drop of Republican blood shed at
the South by Democrats, more than one
Republican vote has been gained at the
North. For every poor colored man
coerced into self disfranchisement or
the casting of Democratic ballots by
mean employers or cowardly mobs,
more than one Republican vote has
been gained in States where every Re-
publican vote counts. If the South can
stand that sort of thing, surely the
North can, and the Republican party
can. The chance of electing Demo-
cratic President has been thrown away,
not merely or mainly by Democratic
stupidity or disloyalty at the North, bad
as these have been, but mainly by the
conduct of Democratic voters and man
ayers at the South.
The Democratic papers which see the
situation most clearly do not venture to
suggest the only remedy. In that fact
lies the most conclusive proof that the
Northern feeling is not overstrained or
mistaken. The ablest and boldest South
ern men do not dare to insist upon ab-
solute freedom of thought, speech and
action. They are held back by the
temper of the people about them. They
realize that it would do no good what
ever to insist that no Republican should
be ostracized, beaten or shot for his
opinions. The reckless fellows whose
violence makes Southern society what
it is would go on killing and beating
all the same, and the frank ami manly
newspaper would have bankruptcy for
its reward. Have we not seen that the
wild rawlings in the Okolorsd States gain
an immense subscription list at the
South, while journals of calm an patri-
otic temper are crowded to the wall?
No other fact so clearly proves the de-
cisive preponderance of the worst ele-
ment at the South. Disloyal to the
core, brutal, cruel, and utterly incapa-
BILE of comprehending the free institu-
tions which the Constitution designs to
maintain, the desperate men who are
feared and obeyed in Southern society
have not understanding enough to see
that they are surely defeating the very
cause which they wish to aid.
No other journal at the North has as
much right as the Tribune to address
to the people of the South words of earn
est and kindly admonition. A concilia-
tory course was advocated by the Tn
bune years ago, in the sincere hope that
it would help to bring the better ele-
ments in the South to the front. 1t was
hoped that the solemn pledges made
by strong and representative Southern
men would be sacredly kept. 1t was
believed that there was at the South q
conservative and reasonable element,
which had been held in check by the
course previously pursued by the Re-
publican party, and by the popular
feeling which that course aroused. But
what have we seenp The better men
of the South are speechless when men
like Chisholm or Dixon are murdered
for their opinions. The Southern mob
has full sway. The kindly and concilia.
