A New YORK daily recently gave an in
terview with Thurlow Weed, in which he
claimed to have been told years ago of
the murder Of William Morgan by the
Masons. His informant claimed to have
been one of the murderers, and gave
Weed all the horrid particulars. The old
heather is either an awful romancer, or
else he has been for years the custodian
of an awful secret.

Before the star Routes Began.

by mis- instructions that he was to report quar-

ton to the President:

Mr.. JAMES BUCHANAN, President of the. United
States:
DEAR SIR: Been required by the instructions of

turn than ten fifteen bushels the aker.
The health of the community is only tolerable, and

WE call attention to the interviews with
Virginia Republicans in this mornings
issue. Yesterday we published a large
number to the same effect There is no
considerable element of the Republican
party in that State which does not
heartily support the Readjuster candidates
and censure the attempts of the Wick
ham faction to create diversion, which
could only contribute to Bourbon sue
cess. A portion Of the State Central Com
mittee having met last Tuesday, in disre-
gard of postponement, its action was of
course irregular. The regular meeting
will be held on the 2Sth, at which
time there will be an animated ses-
sion, especially if General Wick
ham shall claim any authority to
act as chairman by virtue of the in
formal proceedings of last Tuesday. Ex-
Senator Lewis is the chairman Of the
State Committee, and all members who
have any regard for regularity of party
action will recognize him as such at the
coming meeting

HUMAN PIN-CUSHIONS,
Persons Swallowing Pins and Needles
The Effect of Such n Diet.

Hildanus related an incident of a
woman who swallowed several pins and passed
! them six years afterward but more remarkable
! instance of prolonged detention recorded by
Stephenson, of Detroi-hat of lady aged seventy
five years, who last year passed. after some months
symptoms of yescal irritation,a pin which she had
swallowed while picking her teeth with it in the
year 1SS5-forty-two years previously. NJ. SllVy
records some years ago the case of a woman who
had penchant for pins and needles so strong that
she made them, in fact part other daily diet, and
after her death 400 or 1,5OO were removed from
various parts of her body.
| Another case almost as striking has been re-
corded by DR.. Gillette, that of girl in whom, from
time to time, needles were found beneath the skin,
which they perforated, and were removed by the
| fingers or forceps. Concerning the way in which
they had got into her system no information could
be extracted from her. She carefully watched,
and in the course of eighteen months no less than
800 needles were extracted, all being of the same
size. The largest number which escaped in q
single day was sixty-one.
curious phenomenon preceded the escape of
each needle. For some hours the pain was severe,
and there considerable fever. She then felt q
sharp pain like lightning in the tissues and on
looking at the place at which this pain had been
felt the head of the needle was generally found
projecting. The needles invariably came out
mead foremost. No bleeding was occaSloned, ana
not the least trace of Inflammation followed. The
doctor in attendance extracted S1S.
That little weight is to be attached to the place
at which the needles escape, proof oftheir mode
ofintroduction, is evident from case recorded by
Villars of girl who swallowed large number of
pins and needles, and two years afterward, during
period Of nine months, two'hundred passed out
of the hand, arm, axilla, side of thorax, abdomen
and thigh all the left side The pins, curously
escaped more readily and with less pain than the
needles.
Many years ago a case was recorded by DR.. Otto
ofCOpenhagen, in which 495 needles passed through
the skin of a hysterical girl, who had probably
swallowed them during hysterical paroxysm;
but these all emerged from the regions below the
level of the diaphragm, and were collected in
groups, which gave rise to infammatory swellingS
of some size. One of these contained one hundred
needles.
Quite recently DR.. Bigger described before the
Society of Surgery of Dublin case in which more
than three hundred needles were removed from
the body of woman, who died in consequence of
their presence. 1t is very remarkable in how few
cases the needles were the cause of death, and
how slight an interference with function their
presence and movement cause.-L0ndOR Lancet.

THE Philadelphia Times calls Colonel
Dudley, the new Commissioner of Pen
sions, "a politician trained in the lowest
school of politics." The Times is mis-
taken in the man. Colonel Dudley is
an honorable and high-minded gentle
man of the strictest integrity and purity
of character. There is nothing of the
demagogue about him, but what he un-
dertakes he does with all his might. As
an organizer he cannot be excelled in
this country. Hence the prominent part
he played in the last campaign in In
diana. He will give US an honest able,
and satisfactory administration of the
Pension Office. Remember the predic
ton.
