Arizona is unquestionaby the hottest region on the
globe. During the Summer months the mercury
ranges from 1OG? to 1902 Fahrenheit. The latter
altitude il seldom reached elsewhere than in tbe
vicinity Of Yuma In the mountains the heat is al
ways five or SIX degrees less than on the mcsas.
But the strength of the heat is greatly exaggerated

At the age of IA years Chas. u. I
Williams, Of the Goshen precinct, I
this county, was, while striking for !
his father, who Is Il blacksmith, ac-
cidentally struck on the.head with /
a hammer and his skull fractured. /
The wound was about 2 inches /
from the apex offthe head and just /
above the forehead. lie was con- !
fined to his bed for a time but was
shortly enable TO get out, having
forgotten, however, the occurrences. /
or any part Of his life prior TO the |
reception of the lick. From that |
time forward he seems to have
grown finely, pursuing after this,
the usual business OF a farmer, pos I
sessing streng healthy body, but
having pale, delicate face. Dur
ing this time he worked so indus
triously as to acquire some proper
.ty. He married at the age of 10
years, had two children, one of
which died, the other is still in a
healthy condition. During this
period he was thought to be sensi-

Tightly While his deceased child
was sick he appeared to be very
much distressed, running his horse
nearly 10 death in order to reach a
physician. lie is now % years OF
age, and consequently it has been
years since the above accident.
Last fall he began to complain OF
pains in his head at intervals, Just
where he received the blow. Early
in the winter he became insane and
was conveyed to this place, tried
and adiudge a lunatic. DIR. McCOr-
mack examined the injured part
and with permission OF the rela-
tiVes, ordered him returned to his
home. Following him and with
the aid of Drs. Porter, Meredith and
Murray, the mans physician, the
trephining operation was successful
\ ly performed and three months ago
I the throne of reason was re-estab
Iished. lie has recovered and is
to-day a sane man. Here comes
/ the singular part of the history of
the case We saw Williams, Mon
day. morning, and in the presence
4 of other gentlemen talked with
| him, finding him rational, but de-
void of all knowledge of the geog-
raphy of this section of the county.
/ He does not know his friends with
whom he was intimate six months
since, is ignorant of his fathers
name and cannot read line. Ig
+. norant of his wife's identity, he
! does not know that he ever mar
ried or had children. He only re-
members being hit by his father
and with that exception his entire
| existence has been a blank till with
| in the past three months. He is
now a strong, robust man with a
! face that betOkens a healthy exist
ence. The best part of the whole
story, however, is, he is perfectly
satisfied with his wife. How many

similar circumstances, so there

The Nashville Americana

This faithful and unwavering advocate OF
Democratic principles, views the result of
the late National and State elections, as
only an additional incentive TO every sin
cere lover of his country and its lnstitu-
lions, to look more closely than ever, into
the administration of public affairs by the
peoples servants. II Will be the province of
The American to approve right and de-
nounce error as heretofore, and to give the
people such Information as will lead them
10 correct conclusions. The facts IL will give
VIII be without bias, upon which its read
ers can form their own opinions. Time and
the recurrence of popular elections, show
that very large portion of the voters of the
Union act from the impulse OF the moment
rather than from settled convictions in re-
gard TO correct principles of government
Hence the greater necessity for the use of
public journals TO obtain juster and more
settled views on governmental questions.
This, The American will endeavor with the
utmost pains, to supply.
The American Will continue the well
known and highly appreciated extensive
volume of general news, State and National,
and will strive to deserve what IL already

politics or location.

4 SWEEP Girl Graduates Essay that
was Written by Some
BODY Else.

a paragraph which appeared in
this paper few days since, con-
tanning the insinuati0n that a few
of the sweet girl graduates were
not responsible for the essays de-
livereu by them in such melting
way, has raised quite little breeze.
They deny the imputatiOn to man
--or girl-and cite many authen-
Heated instances of whole families
of persons who were able to spell
big words correctly and write them
so, but were unable to pronounce
them or give coherent definition
of their meaning.
A rather startling occurrence
took place at one of theTeeent eX-
hibitions.
The stately valedictorfan had
been so much worried over getting
her dress ready and chewing gum
between stitches that she never
saw her essay until she was called
before the curtain. The subject,
"The Flight of Time," had been
characteristically ventilated by an
elder brother, just home from col
lege, ard with d pressure Of fifteen
pounds of deviltry to the square
