SENATOR HoAR seems to apprehend
danger from the accumulation of an armed
force at the National Capital on inaugu-
ration day unless it can be placed in COM
mand of regular army officers. If We
could anticipate the possibility of danger
from the cause referred to we should
sympathize with the Senator in his alarm; ;
but we can see none. The citizen sol
diery who propose to participate in the
inaugural pageant are chiefly from the
West and North and are to man loyal to
the Constitution and the Union. They
come with no evil intent, but to do honor
to the President in his Inauguration.
They are as a body respectable, order-lov-
ing, law-abiding Union citizens. They
love their country, and are proud of its
advancement and its institutions, and
would lay down their lives in its defense
sooner than disturb the harmony Of the
Government or violate its laws. Then,
when they reach here, they pass under
the command Of the General of the
Army of the United States, and will be
SuDJCCG W llS DSttiS
the grand marshal of the occa-
sion. Under such circumstances, if
danger turks in this prospect, we fail
to discover it under the most remote con-
tingencies. The resolution offered in the
Senate of the United States by Senator
Hoar, whether so intended or not, is
reflection upon the citizen soldiery of the
nation, for which, up to the present time,
we are unable to discover any occasion,
except in the expressed fears of the Sena-
tor. The resolution went over yesterday,
and we hope it will find undisturbed re-
pose in the future. The Senate, we feel
assured, is not disposed to offer anything
like an insult to the citizen soldiery of
this country.

Mr.. Cox, in his speech on the river and

party as being dead as a dodo, which
highly-ornamental bird is found, upon ref

parallel holds good. The dodo is dead,
the Democratic party is do, do.

The Inauguration.

AS the preparations for the inaugura-
ton are proceeding with all possible dis
patch under some embarrassments in the
way of finance, the West seems to have
walked up to the matter in a remarkable
degree. The press of the cities of Chicago,
Cincinnati, indianapolis, and Louisville
are vying with each other in efforts to
stir up the people and precipitate human
avalanche upon the National Capital on
the 4th of March next. In the meantime
we notice that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad managers are booming the affair
with unusual vigor by the dissemination
of information all through the West and
Northwest. All this tends to fulfill the
promises made that the forthcoming in
auguration will, in point of magnitude,
eclipse all its predecessors.
These indications Throughout remote
sections of the country should admonish
the managers of the affair at the National
Capital that great responsibility rests
upon themselves which cannot be con-
ferred upon others. Then, again, it should
be borne in mind that those in charge
of the work must be literally seconded
by our citizens or there will come to the
city miserable and disgraceful failure.
The committee having the affair in charge
have secured plans for adorning the city
with elaborate decorations. They seek
to cheer the evening with fireworks and
illuminations, and to close the affair with
the grandest reception, promenade. con-
cert, and ball that has marked dthe history
of any people on the face of the civilized
globe. These are the declared intentions
of fthose in charge, and if their hopes are
not realized it will be for the reason that
they are not properly seconded and sus-
tanned by the citizens of Washington.

An EXTRAORDINARY STORY.
French Canadian said TO be Living
with His Neck Dislocated.

An accident occurred on Monday at
Ramey, Clarion County, which proved
to be one of the most extraordinary
cases ever recorded in the history of
surgery or medical Jurisprudence,
James Gaupell, a French Canadian
employed at Ramey's mills, fell from a
trestle about twelve feet to the ground.
After recovering from the shock result
ting from the fall he was unable to
move his head, and DIR. Edwards, at
tending physician, discovered that the
neck was dislOcated and some of the
bones broken; but it was evident that
the spinal column had not been sever
ed. The doctor reset and put the
fractured neck in position and set
about devislng means to put it in place.
until the broken bones and confused
llgaments attain their normal cOndi-
ton. To this end a muslin handage
three inches wide was wrapped tightly
around the neck, and TO it were attached
two lugs, one on either side. To these
81 rope was fastened and run over
pulley fixed to the ceiling of the room.
A bucket was suspended on the other
end of the rope, and in it were placed
various weights, so that the patient
can adjust the contrivance us occasion
may require by simply reaching to the
bucket and removing or adding one
or two weights. He remains in sit
ting posture, and should any slight
change of position occur the tension
of the pope will still support the weight
ofthe head. With these appliances
for his support. the unfortunate man
will have to remain practically in the
some position until the injured parts
become united or death ends the case.

4 Bogus Prophecy.

1t is well known that Mother Shipton
prophesied that the world to an end
would come in 1881. This forecast has
not yet had depreciating effect on real
estate, and it is rather doubtful if the
most superstitiOus Detroiter would sell
anything any less on account of it.
Mother Shipton was a garrulous old
lady, whose manuscript is dated 144S
Her book of local prophecies, which is
in the British museum, bears date 1641
If, at that time, the lines were written,
that "Carriages without horses would
60" and that through mountains men
shall ride" " ''iron swim on the sea-" the
book would be, indeed remarkable But
these prophetic phrases, together with
the 1881 prediction, are all forgeries on
the old lady. In 1862, Charles Hindley,
of Brighton, England, published Mother
Shipton's book, in which he interpolated
the lines referred to. The 1881 proph-
ecy was taken from Piazza Smiths
reading of the hieroglyphics in the
grand gallery of the Pyramid. Hindley
afterward confessed his imposture pub
licly.-Free Press.

Daring Burglary.
(ChicagO JOuInal.l

Mr. E. 2. Smith, living at the cor
ner Of Wabash avenue ard Twenty
fourth street, reported last evening to
the police one ofthe most daring burg
laries which has occurred for some
time, and one which battles the detec-
tives. Mr.. Smith states that some
time during Sunday night the knights
of the jimmy entered his residence
through a rear window, and then
made raid through the house. In
the course of their perambulations
they came acress Mr.. Smiths bedroom.
In order to keep him quiet, and to
save him the trouble of waking up, the
burglars applied handkerchiefheavily
charged with chloroform 10 Mr..
Smiths head, and the dose took i'm
mediate effect. 1t is supposed that
other people in the house were also
treated to taste of the drug, for they
all slept an unusually long time. When
Mr.. Smith awoke he discovered his
loss to be $1,000 in cash and a diamond
ring valued at $500. As soon as he
could recover his senses properly he
repaired to the Cottage Grove Avenue
Police Station, where he made q report
of the robbery. A detail of men was
at once set to work on the case, and
another detail was sent out from the
Central Station. The above particulars
form the substance Of Mr.. Smiths
story. Emery 2. Smith, the victim, is
a commission man and grain-dealer
The police are at loss to know why
the burglars did not take other artic-
les of value that were living around.
