Gov. MARKS has gone to Indiana
to make a speech for Landers and
reform. He may be able to tell the
Hoosiers how to avoid the payment
of their honest public debts. By
the way, why isn't the clarion voice
of our governor heard in the can
yass? Doesn't be know which way
the cat will jump? He ought GER
tainly to know that much by this
time.

SENATOR HARRIS SPEECH.

We have not heard a grosger mis-
representation of facts in this or
any other campaign than that put
forth by Senator Harris in his
speech at the opera house on We'd
nesday, when he was discussing the
federal election laws. He drew
upon his imagination for facts, and
left his audience utterly ignorant of
the character of those laws, if they
knew nothing about them except
what they heard from the speaker.
If his motive was to mislead, he
succeeded admirably-that is, if
those who heard him were all as
ignorant of the election laws as he
seemed to infer.
In speaking of the appointment
of election supervisors he failed to
state that they must be from oppo-
site political parties. In speaking
of the powers of deputy marshals
he left the impression on his au'
dience that they have unlimited au'
thority, and that all they. have t.
do is to arrest any man they desire
and march him off to Jail when, il
fact no one can be sent to prison
except by United States commits
sioner. The supervisors and deput.

against the attack of Tribune cor
respondent. AS he remarks, Mr..
Spears needs no defense where he is
known. He has been honored and
trusted by the people of his county
and has never violated their conf
dence. Because he is republican,
and has the courage to avow his
sentiments, he has incurred the DIS
pleasure of certain narrow minded
democratic politicians, but he will
survive their opposition.

Is the Brain a vital organ.

The occurrence of the horrible acct
dent in Jersey City is another instance
of the marvellous. and to the popular
mind the receipt. of such wound as
that received by the MacEvoy boy with
out immediate death is something in
credible. 1t is stated that the boys head
came in contact with a revolving circu-
lar saw which cut through the skull and
severed a good portion of the brain,
after which the boy survived nearly one
week. Numerous examples have before
been reported which seem to show that
the brain may bear very extensive in
jury sometime without any very serious
resulting effects, A case celebrated in
the annals of medical literature is that
of the Massachusetts laborer whose
brain was removed to a great extent by
a tam ping iron blown out of the hole by
a prem.ture blast. This iron was forced
completely through the head, and
though the man suffered serious symp-
toms for few weeks, he recovered COM
plete,y with nothing left but slight
change of temper, and died twelve years
after of consumption. The skull is now
to be found at the Massachusetts Gen
eral Hospitalin Boston, and contains two
very large holes.
Equally wonderful instances are re-
ported, and, from an inspection of the
medical literature of the day, we are
forcibly reminded that certain parts oi
the brain are, comparatively insuscept
ible to mo lerate, aye, sometimes even tc
great injuries. The white matter, OF
middle part Of the brain, is occasionally
entirely destroyed, and no resulting
symptoms are expressed. The case il
different, however, with the gray mat
| ter, which is the sensation, and canno
bear the least violence without prompt,
showing evil consequences.

will return twenty tons of raw sorghum
sugar, fully equal to- the best. raw cane
sugar, or forfeit my reputation" He
estimates, says the Utica Herald, that
the cost of production can not exceed
three cents per pound This would
give margin for profit far ahead of
corn or wheat raising, and put sugar
on the table at prices below the lowest
reached the past year. Illinois produces
corn crop worth $75, 5,0O0, 900 annually.
DR.. Collyer says one-tenth the acreage
given to corn devoted to sorghum Of
the variety best suited to the latitude,
would produce an amount of sugar
equal to the importation of the United
States-about sos, 1900, 600 worth. DR..
Collyer is accounted man of careful
statements. The promise he holds out
here of raising $109, ,000, 900 worth of mar
ke,able goods where $7,500,000 worth
is now raised, is very tempting. 1t will
be surprising if sorghum is not given a
trial. DR.. Coilyer says all the States in
the central belt have soil and climate
admirably adapted to sorghum raising.

it wasn't often that the elephant met
anybody in the menagerie who could
talk to him.

a good thing your back is so broad

cause there's no telling what make comb

elephant looked amazed. Hr saf 81

And the menagerie went to supper that
night with the greatest enthusiasm. But

Feeding troughs fer'poultry, properly

constructed, ought to be generally sub
stituted for the wasteful practice of
feeding from the ground. The reasons
why" are obvious. Where there is
scramble for the food that is thrown
helter-skelter, the weak are prevented
by the strong from getting their share
until the latter are satisfied and the food
is trampled in the dirt. It is no advan-
tage to fowls to eat sand, dirt or gravel
mixed with their food The gravel and
other indigestible substances necessary
to the proper. trituration of their food
in the gizzard, can be given separately,
and should be. A simple trough can
be made. defended bv Stats placed YER
tically or on convenient angle, with
spaces sufficient for the passage of the
head, thus preventing, the trampling
and soiling OF the food, which will not
be wasted as in the case where it is
thrown carelessly on the ground. 81
