Special Dispateh to the wheeling 1ntellssDesr.
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, Of New
York, spoke here this evening. he was
greeted with tremendous crowd of Re.
publicans and large number Of Demo.
crats. His speech was an eloquent, IN.
equaled presentation Of the claims of the
Republican party to the support of the
public; and an arraignment OF the Demo.
cracy, and a portrayal Of its faults and
short comings that was at once amusing
and powerful.
THE TOWN Is ALIVE WITH ESTHusIAsM,
and the air is filed with the music of the
bands and the shouts OF an aroused popu.
lace for Garfield, Arthur and Victory.
Gen. woodiord's speech has done the Re
publican cause great deal of good, and
will vet result in making many converts
from Democracy or other heresies, and
confirming in the faith the very few weak
brethren who have heretofore halted be-
tween two opinions. The people are slow
to disperse, and everywhere the subject OF
conversation is this grand event Of the
of 1880 in Taylor county.

MILWAUKEE, September. The striking
machinists Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railroad say they can cary
their point with the company by resorting
to extreme measures. They say they have
assurances from meetings held in other
places on the line OF the road that work
men in other cities sympathise and only
wait the word for a general strike Of rail-
way employees.
The officers OF the company announce
themselves undisturbed by the situation,
and state that work in all the machine
shops and in all departments progressing
satisfactorily, and all the employees, so far
as they know, contented, and they have
no fears OF future trouble.

WASHINGTON, September 2.-Sixth Au-

ment, who has charge of the accounts Of
the postal service, recently had occasion
to computethe total receipts OF that service
from April l, 1877, to June Is, 1873, 8
period Of two years and three months.
They were found TO amount to s25s ,509,-
s6aSl. The entire losses Of the department
for, that period amounted to 81, 800 81. This
showing is probably more favorable than
could be made for similar period under
any former administration, Republican or
Democrat.

A Notable Instance Of Fasting.

In view of the experiment of DIR. Tam
ner, of New York, in his attempt to fast
forty days, case which l heard of in
1872, while a patient of DIR. Pusey
Head, in his Hygiene Home at Will
mington, Del, may be OF interest to
your readers: A Mrs. H., a small lady
with dark complexion, who was visit
or at the above health institute, accom-
panied by daughter, who was received
as patient, informed me that twenty
years before she was a hopeless dyspep-
tic, suffering all the terrors that the
term implies and given up to die by her
physicians, when new physician, a
health-reformer, who in those days, as
class, were noted for their heroic
treatment" undertook the treatment of
her case, if she would follow implicitly
his instructions, encouraging her with
his firm opinion that she would be cured
as result. Believing that she must
die in any event-which shows that her
will power was about exhausted-she
consented to his terms, which were, in
brief, to abstain from food until he
should order otherwise. The second
and third days of her fast she suffered
excessively from hunger, after which
she felt no desire for food. Her tongue
soon began to swell and gather a Shiny
coating, which continued for twenty
days, during which time she exercised
more or less daily, as her strength
would permit. On the twenty-frst day
the coating came off her tongue in q
mass, leaving it in a comparatively nor
NAL condition; her physician then or
dered her little rice water, and by de-
grees she reached generous diet, and
found to her great joy that all her old
dyspeptic symptoms had disappeared,
and that her enjoyment of food was as
intense and natural as she could desire.
She stated, however, that ever since
her recovery she had been obliged 20
exercise care in her diet, as her stom-
ach had not recovered its original tone
and elasticity, which could hardly be
expected. In conclusion, have always
considered this remarkable case and
fully believe in its truthfulness, as does
DIR. Heald; and there are undoubtedly
others here in Boston who know of it,
as it happened here; and it seems to me
that if sick woman. weak and ENACT
ated from dyspepsia, can live twenty
one days without food, it ought to be
possible for man endowed with good
health and liberal allowance of adipose
material, backed by strong viii, to re-
frain for forty days, though perhaps this
reasoning is not altogether logical
