APARALYZRD STOMACH.
Extraordinary Case Of a Michigan
Lady,
Life Sustained for a Year by the Pro
cess Of Absorption.

DEl8OIT, October IA special to the
Post and Trit,me gives the following re-
markable history occurring at Battle
Creek, this State:
just one year ago this week, Mrs. Nell
lie Ingram, Of this city, who had been
suffering from severe neuralgia in her
teeth, concluded to have one of the
morlars extracted. She accordingly re-
paired to the Office of dentist, Mr.. n.
Merritt, for that purpose. She was then
enjoying the best health, and weighed
1S0 pounds. The tooth was a very
troublesome o.e, and in the jaw firm
and fast, and the pain which she en-
dured from its extraction was SO excru-
ciating as to excite her nervous system
to such degree that she experienced a
shock or nervous prostration which end
ed in paralysis of the stomach. A car
riage VIZ called and she was conveyed
to her.home in a precarious condition.
She suffered forseveral days with cramps
in the bowels. When she attempted to
eat food it refused to remain on the
stomach. and produced most violent
retching pains, so that she was obliged
to give it up. 1t soon became evident to
her physicians that she could not be kept
alive without means of nourishment, as
not particle of food passed her lips.
Injections were therefore given her, and
life has thus been prolonged for year
by the process of absorption of food by
the walls of the intestines. Baths of
beef tea, milk, and such nutritious liquid
food are also given her with an occa-
sional bath of alcohol to keep the pores
open. She has thus lived twelve
months, not particle of food passing
her lips, her life being supported enthely
in this way. When she is hungry a
bath of milk OF beef tea, or an injection
of the same, satisfies her appetite the
same as though taken in the usual way.
But although this rather thin diet keeps
her alive, it does not prove very fatten-
ing, as she has reduced her weight in
this time from 1S0 to about seventy
pounds, or at the rate of over two pounds
per week Floss. Her face has quite
healthy appearance, and would not
strike one as belonging to person whose
body was so emaciated as to be little less
than skin and bones. She is only able
to obtain about two or three hours sleep
and that toward morning when
the vitality of the body is very low.
With returning activity of the senses she
begins the retchings which the spasmod-
ic actions of nature continue through
the day, and until her system is COM
pletely exhausted and she again falls in
to the sleep described. The drain. on her
nervous system hss been SO great that
she now lost her reason, andF her voice
is so weak that she can speak only in
low whisper, and she continually grows
worse so that her death is daily expected.
The case has been frequently described,
and accounts have been widely copied,
and created no little interest, letters be-
ing received by her physicians from all
parts of the United States.

RETIRING I'm CONFETTI.

President Hayes administration will
terminate on the 4th of next month, and
no President has ever retired in more
profound contempt from all portions of
the Union. He is generally admitted
never TO have been elected, and both
Democrats and Republicans do not hesi.
tate to pronounce him an unqualified
fraud. He has Ohown by his appoint.
ments that he fully recognizes the fact
himself that he was made President by q
set of perured rAscals, and has been very
careful in giving to them oil the promo
tion possible. Not only has he taken
care of Wells, Anderson, Cassinave, and
the like, but his gratitude has extended
TO the more respectable, though no less
culpnble, class of visiting statesmen,
who went to the trouble to see fair ~
count and help him through the Elec.
toral Commission. Therefore we find
Sherman and Evarts in his Cabinet, and
Stanley Matthews nominated for the Su-
preme Court. He hns not done any act
in the four years that rises to nobility.
He will retire "unwept, unhonored and
unloved," an example of triumphant
fraud. illustrating the truth of the old
maxim that Il is better &c fai! deserving
success than to succeed deserving failure.

Henry johnson relates the following
story:
Ho Gays that he was staying at the
house of John Davis, and suspected that
he was trying to poison him, and that he
went to Orange Isaacs. who Is claimed to
be root doctor. and told him Of it..
Orange said TINT he also hat grudge
against Davis, and that he had the power
Of witchcrait and could administer cer-
tain medicine that would free him Of all
responsibility for his acts, and proposed
TO Johnson to give him charm and take
one himself and kill Davis. Johnson
agreed to take the charm and obey all
instruction. Orange then told him To
obtain gun and bring 1t to him, which
he did. Orange ,hon sent HIM tn the
road with orders t. knock on the fence
when Davis passed. al IL O'clock m.
last Saturday Johnson gave the signal
and Orange came to the road with his
gun. They followed him to n pine thicket,
and Orange. having approached to within
in the back Of the head, killing him iu-
etantly. OscDge then pulled him out OF
the road and covered him up with pine
straw, and wont about his business.
Suspicion having attached to Johnson,
he was arrested, aud, upon his confession,
Orange was also arrested. Orange dis.
claims being implicated in the murder
in any manner.-Ne,rs and Courier.

STANLEY MATTHEW'S IN DIsTRzss.

The Hon. Stanley Matthews appears to
have very little chance to become an AS.
sociate Justico of the Supreme Court,
although Mr.. Hayes has nominated him
for the position. The nomination has
hung fire in the Judiciary Committee of
the Senate, and the opposition has be.
come go strong that the Committee will
probably not report it to the Senate be-.
fore the 4th Of March, at which time it
will fail. If the Committee does report
the nomination II is generally believed
the Senate will reject At, and thereby ~ ye
the country from an unfit jutl.cia' o:icer.
A number of Democrats oppose the con-
frmation of Mr. Matthews for political
reasons and because of his unftness.
SIR. Conkling opposes him for the pur
pose Of giving a last lick at President
Hayes, and the friends of General Gar
field oppose him because they think the
new President should he allowed to make
The selection. Between all Of these
sources of opposition we think Mr. Mat
thews will not become an Associate JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court.

Tue rumor that Vice. President. elect
General G. A. Arthur Is not native of

and probability to such m extent that
the Senate bas determined to investigate

not native of this country, to prevent
his inauguration on the 4th of next
March. He claims to have been 5orn in
country town of Vermont, bul tho most
careful inquiry there fails to develop the
correctness of the claim. His parents
were married in the United States, but
about the time Of his birth resided in
Canada. They afterwards returned 10
the United States. 1t is claimed by
those who oppose the Inauguration Of
General Arthur that he was born during
the residence Of his parents in Canada,
which would make him ineligible for
either the Presidency or Vice. Presidency

the President pro fem. Of the Senate on
the 4th of March next Vice President,

statistical science by the distinguished
and accomplished head OF the bureau
that will place him abreast Of the leading
scientists of tbs world.

movements of populations and the drift
Of political power. The centre of popu
lation has moved wcstwardly from New
York since 1900, along the thirty ninth
parallel of latitude, DETECTING north or
south aa the population would drift north
or south, and in 1870 it lodged about
forty. two miles northeast of Cincinnati,
Ohio. The census of 1880 will draw the
centre south of Cincinnati and south of
the Ohio River. Such at least are the
indications at the present stage of infor.
nation.

REGULATING RAILROADS.

Judge Woods, of the United States
Circuit Court of Georgia, who has re-.
Gently been promoted to the position OF
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States. has just made @
very important decision in reference to
the powers of State to regulate rail
roads. The State of Georgia appointed
Railroad Commission of three mem
bers, with powers TO regulate The freghts
and passage upon railroads in that State,
and under the powers vested in them,
they recently determined to reduce the
passenger rates to three cents per mile
over all first class roads, and accordingly
60 ordered.
The Macon and Brunswick Road re-.
fused to obey and brought suit to lest
the question, contending that the prop
efty WAS that Of individuals who had
vested rights that could not he interfcred
with by the State. The State, 20 put the
question briefly, denied the conclusions
of the complaint, and upon the submis-
sion of the case Judge Woods held the
Georgia lava to be constitutional, and
sustained the action Of the Railroad
Commissioner of that State. This Is a
great victory for those who oppose the
terrible monopoly which railroads of late
have been disposed to establish. The
result of this decision will be healthy.
no. only in preventing further encroach-
ment by the roads, but will give strength
and courage to the people everywhere to
correct many evils which now exist

President Hayes has received great
deal Of praise for introducing a temper
ance reform at the White House dinners.
An exchange thinks, however, that q
spirit of parsimony rather than Of reform
actuatcd him in banishing wins and
brandy from the White House, and backs
up It's opinion by saying that if Mr..
Hayes was sincere in wishing to set an
example Of temperance, he would not
only have no wines at his own dinners,
but would also abstain from drinking
these beverages ut other peoples dinners.
fnasmuch as he does not abstain when
away from home, the legitimate conclu-
sion is that he does not use wines at home
because be wishes to avoid the expense.
When away from home hc drinks at
other peoples expense. The temperance
people will never gain anything from
such examples as Rutherford b. Hayes.
