(From the Spectator @17h Sept.)

The whole Of Thessaly, the province
coded to Greece, has now been occupied
by Greek troops, without disorder or
resistance. The Christian inhabitants arc
of course, delighted, and welcome thu
troops with enthusiasm; while the Mus
sulmans have declined to emigrate. They
fnd their property quite secure, and arc
as pleased as the Greeks at the absence
Of the brigandS. who have disappeared,
not seeing their way to arrangements
with the new authorities. The Greeks,
moreover have taken trouble to soothe
the Mahommedans, the tOwnspcOple in
one instance waiting on the MoOllah to
request that the call to prayer from tho
minaret might be recommended. They
had missed it. The liberation of Thessaly
has, therefore, been so far an unmixed
good, as would be the liberation of Mace.

Why People Snore.

DR.. Lewis Sayre, being asked by New
S...ss i.s.A-s-r, -. A....-..z.....,a
this lucid explanation Of the cause:
..Snorng is noise made In the posterior
part Of the mouth, and nasal f,sse daring
the moments of respiration. II Is due to =
relaxation of the ierdtor paida moiiis and
the circwnfer palati In sleep, by which the
reium pendulum pata'i Is left free to vibrate
or dap in the two currents Of air which en-
ter at the same time through the noslrils and
mouth. Beside the vibration Of the reium
pendulum palaii, or soft palate, there Is also
a vibration Of the column Of air itself. Thus
Is produced the rasping. snorting noise 50
well known and so unpleasant to every one
within esrshot If the placid snorer himself.
When man Is fatigued and his seif-control
Is usually relaxed in sleep, he Is apt to let
his lower jaw drop down. No man was ev-
er seen or heard TO snore with his mouth
shut. The moral Is obvious. The soft pal
ale flaps like sheet In the wind, aud the
near neighbors Of the snoring sleeper are
coirrspondingly disturbed. Now, the lie
diaus never snore. They think it q dis
grace. An Indian believes that IL he suores
when he is young he will grow mp to be
even less handsome than nature originally
intended. His vanity, therefore, Is enough
10 make savage sleep In proper position
The moral Is obvi"us: Close your mouth
aud your reiun pendulum paiati will not

A STRANGE CASE,

A few days ago Doctors ID. N. Rannel.
and e. o. Dunlap, Of this place, were calle,
upon to attend a son of Mr.. Wing, who re.
sides in Vinton township. The child is now
tweniy-one months old and is Inflicted Ia a
very extraordinary manner--iu fact, a man.
ner urheard Of in this country heretofore.
| About six months ago blotch or discolora-
tion Of the skin appeared Oh the child, AMI
the blotch has since moved from the calf OF
the leg To the nape of the neck and down.
ward again TO its present location, just be-
low the hip. The physicians were not long
in determining the cause Of the blotch and
pronounced il a worm something similar to
the Guinra worm, which frequently aiIlicts
inhabitants of that hot country. 1t lies
curled, crossed and curved in different direc-
tions Ia the tissues of the skin and takes up
"A space Of three or four inches In diameter.
The length "f the worm is many feet aud is
about the thickness of the smallest string of
violin. Ii las been known to move dis
tance Of six inches III a single night. The
color is that If apple jelly, and IL is trans
parent, or rather semi-transparent. The
child is somewhat nervous and restless, but
shows no other signs of being afflicted by
such monster. In treating the patient the
phy sicians made an incision and raised a
curved section Vf The worm sufficiently to
slip under it piece If tape. It is said that
the frequent pouring Of warm water OH the
part thus exposed will induce The Guinea
worm To leave It's human ienemenf, although
It will generally vaczte without surgical aid.

THE CHEAP :p,sroL.
1. i. Though. .h. Bali Did No. p.as.n.. Far.

WAsHISGToS, July GA very interesting
experiment was made yesterday by the OH
cials in charge Of the case against Guiteau,
the result Of which gives the greatest possi-
BILE encouragement TO the doctors and ex-
plains the favorable symptoms Of the Presi-
dent. For instance, the size Of the wound
in the first place was 80 large as to admit Of
the insertion of finger. IL followed, rs .
matter Of course, that large ball entering
where IL did and piercing to any extent,
naturally would, when fired at such short
range, produce fatal results. But the expe-
riment this morning has thrown new light
on the subject. Evidently Guitesu had nev-
or handled fire arms and knew nothing about
pistols. The pistol used by him was pur-
chased st little sporting bazaar kept by one
o'Mears, right opposite the Treasury De-
partment.s II is one of the cheapest pistols
made, selling for seven dollars. So cheap 10
the pistol that at distance of twelve or if
teen feet the best shot could only hit door
with It unless by accident. The assassin
was not over six feet from the President
when he fired the first shot, which did not
touch the skin, for when the coat of the
President was removed the ball was found In
his sleeve. This remarkable fact was hardly
noticed at the time, but this was the basis Of
investigation this morning. 1t was argued
that If this ball, fired at basis of six feet,
did not have force enough TO pass through .
double fold Of coat sleeve, perhaps the Pres
ident's wound was not as serious Is had been
supposed. Other cartridges of the pistol
have since been examined and are uf similar
character. The cartridge itself Is very for
midable looking, but the supply Of powder
Is found TO be greatly inadequate to forces
the ball through any hard substance. The
ball fired at board At the distance Of rod
fell back, merely making dent Ia It. 1t Is
now thought not impossible that the ball,
after passing through tight fitting coat and
the Undertaking Of the President, spent its
force in some Of the layers Of the muscles.
The weight of the evidence all tends that
way. Now, Of course, the surgeons will not
take any chances in investigating for the ball
so long As the Presidents condition contin-
ues favorable. The fact, however, Of his
being so well and continuing to improve
steadily argues that the ball could not have
passed through any vital part. The discov-
cry had the effect Of allaying the doubts and
fears Of those who have looked on the dark
est side Of the case from the first.
