THE FAST OF MAErHA TERHUNE.
A Woman said 10 hAVe Lived Eleven
Weeks On Almost Nothing,
and seven Weeks
Nothing.
New York World.

Martha. Terhune, spinster, 50 years old, wal
buried from her house in the queer, old
fashioned hamlet of Lodi, New Jersey, few
days age, having died of the effects of a fast
which her friends say lasted eleven wesk'
On tho 8Lh Of last September, Mrs. Gertrude
Terhune, her mother, was stricken with pa,
rslysis for the third time. AlisI Martha was
then in good health, bit WAS terribly shocked
by the occurrence and took to
her bed and > thereafter refused all
nourishmcnt, Though she did accept
under seaai-coercion very traing amount
Of food during the FIRST four weeks. After a
few days she lsft her bed and went about
the house part of tho time, bat never fully
recovered. The she0k occurred precisely
eleven weeks before her death. -Four weeks
afterwards shetastsd, as her relatives ayouch,
the last food that passed her lips, and the re-
naiAing seven weeks, or forty-nino days, she
lasted absolutely. DR.. John Soper was
called il but she would have no medicine.
Mrs. Stephen Massey, noighbor, who is an
amateur homeopathic physician, did induce
the patient TO take few Of her pills to sllay
a favsr brought on by the long continued
fast.
Mrs. John Terhune Martha'a sister-in-law
said yesterday TO u World reporter:
''From the day her mother received tho
stroke Martha wanted nothing to eat. |
made her up all s1r.s OF dhinties, but il was
no use, she refused everything For tho first
three or four weeks she did take few spoon
f,,1a Of yl.,s
and little water. Ona day she ate little
'nince' | made for hcr--not an ounce in all,
though. She answered all our onteroates
with Il cannot cas- ard sh- didn't At first
she took a little Of Mrs. Massey's medicine;
1insllv sne retS.ed that also. she lost very
title flesh and usually had a bright red spot
on each cheek"
"Could she not hrvs procured f3od With
out your knOwlsdge"
"Shs couldn't have done II, sir. | was
about cSnS.AEtly."
Glow much should you say sh3 ate during
these eleven woeksp
"Woll, sir, couldn't say, but not more
than few ounces altogether"
"And nothing whatever to the last seven
weeks ?".
"Noi a sup. It WAS just forty-nine days
whoa abe dad sisco she had tasted food or
medicine; shs took a very little water now
and thsn-vsry little"
slew do you account FOR her living SO long
withsat food;"
I'm, sir, / don't know, except she lived OH
her fat
"Now, Mrs. TerhuHe, one thing more; was
she quite strong up to nearly the last-say IN
In within a weak nj h-r dsath9D
"Shs was, sir. think if she could have
been persuaded to eat anything even the last
week she might have lived aud got well; do,
indeed. She just had notion she couldn't
eat, and she didH't; that was ALL"
The innrm mother sGi by and listened to
all that was said and confirmed her daughter
in'law'E story so fer as abe ives personally &C.
quainted with the facts.

THE ANGELS.

Are the Angels never impatient
That we are so weak and Slow
So dull 10 their guiding touches,
20 deaf to the whispers low
With which, entreatiDg and urging,
They follow as as We go?
All no the pitlful angels
Are clearer OF sight than we
And they note not only the thing that we are
But the thing that we fam would be-
The hint OF gofl In the cumberins dros5;
Offruit on the bare cold Tree.
And think that at times the angels
Must smile as mothers smile
AT the peevlsh babies on thoir needs.
Loving themall the while,
And cheating the little Onesof heir pain
With sweet and motherly NA-,
And if they are so patient, the angels,
How tanderer tar than they
Must the mighty Lord Of the angels be,
Whom the heavenly hosts obey,
Who speeds them forth on their errand5,
And cares for us more than they.

Tho correspondence between Senstor
Conkling and Senator Bayard may be thus
condensed:
Conkling to BayMd-I hear that you called
me thief. Did you do so?
Bay Nrd to Oenkling-I did not SAY that YOU
were thief. What did say was TINT YOU
assisted in the wrongful abstraction of mon.
ey.
ConkiuC tn ssysrd-I asked vcu il yop
called me 'hsf Instead of plain snsvsr
you iaf'GH"" anew and irrelevant alera.
ton. ] demand to know if you called me o
thief or not.
Bayard to Conkling-I have slresdy told
you what said. My authority will be found
in the congressional reports. If there was
any mistake shall DO glad to DO corrected.
Conkling TO the Press Two months ago
you said that Mr.. Bsyard had called mo a
thief. Thus far Mr.. Bay.rd has not retractsd
the epithet which you said he used. there
fore call Mr.. Bayard a liar, and my friends,
Messrs. Arthur, Boutwell, and Davis, will
assist mo.
This correspondence may be completed By
aquotation from Bob Acres: "Iden't mind
your calling me coward; but if you had
said poltroon / should have said that you
were no gentleman"

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
An Appeal to the GovornOr.EIeet q.
HissOari.

Tothe Hon; Thos: t. Critlenden, Governor
Elect Of MlssOuri
SIR-In conformity with your duty, YOU
will in short time take the oath of Office,
and place before the people your inaugural
message. The constitution of the state makes
il obligatory on you to recommend 20 the
general assembly such measures ss
you shall deem necessary and Oxpe-
dent. The law having conferred on
you this power, We beg leave to call ysur
attention 10 tho legal condition of ons- half of
the people-tho women citizens of the state.
They are counted for representation, vet
that representation, instead of being accord
cd them, is exercised by the male citizens of
the state, who thus have a double reprssoa-
tation. They sra held Nmenable to al laws :
they are taxed equally with man for the SUP,
port of the state, yet are barred from hold
ing any remunerative Office, tho one pinple
exception being that of school teacher, and
the denial OF representation TO them
selves royalty of double salaries to
tho male teach,rs who vote. Ia the
city of 81. Louis the average salsry Of the
male teacher, who votes for the school. board,
is nearly double that Of the teacher who does
not vote, though required TO possess tho same
qualifications and to perform the same labor.
Having ne Representations, laws made ostelsi-
bly, for their protection are construed by
judges amenhbls only to the represented class
their property is insecure, their dearest and
highest rroral interest without protection
This being their condition, we ask
that in ysur coming message YOU
will definitely and fearlessly recommend
that tho laws shall be made to an
ply TO citizens alike, and, for this end, that
theword male" wherever it occurs in the
constitution, shall be stricken out and The
word citizen substituted in it's place. Tn,
great political party Of which you are the rep
iescntative in this state has declared IL TO B,
one of its fundamental principals that 9Th,
right Of q free ballot Is the right of all right,
and must and shall be maintained" Now. h
this right does not inhero in the women cih
zens OF the state Of Missouri as we'll as,in tn,
male citizens, they are in that condition pro
hislted by the constitution, which declare,
tnstneither slavery norinvoluntary se1vitud,
shall exist.
we confidently appeal TO you to make th
Just Recommendation Respectfully,

CHEAP rates of travel from
New Orleans affords many per-
sons who have heretofore been
unable to visit the north, an op-
partunity to do so. Travel is
a great educator and if 4 man
who has never been out of the
south goes north he soon sees for
himself that the people are not
near SO bad as he supposed, and
when 4 northern man comes to
the south for the first time he to,
is astonished at finding a differ
ent people and a different state
of society from what he had
been led to believe. If it were
possible for the people of the
two sections of countryto mingle
freely with each other, the YES
tige of sectional prejndice would
soon be eradicated.

nomination of Gen. Hancock.
He says: ~ have no hesitation
in supporting Gen. Hancock for

put an end to sectional strife
andto sectional parties, and will
revive a patriotic sentiment all
