A Dead WOman's Heart.

In law Office on Jefferson Street, not
a mile away from Fifth, yesterday after
noon, the proprietor sat with volume
of legal lore on the subject of damages
open before him, and slip of paper
containing number of references by
the side of the book. From time to time
he read q paragraph or line, and then
lay back in his chair with thoughtful
and rather puzzled look. as though he
was endeavOring to make certain facts
square with the statements which he had
made. In this situation reporter of the
Courier-.Iournal found him. Said he in
response to an inquiry: {" have had a
peculiar and unusual set of circumstances
submitted to me with view to having
. suit for damages brought, and l am
at a great loss to determine whether an
action can be maintained at law. A few
days ago a1ady in this city died suddenly
of heart disease. Two well-known physi-
clans made q request of the family to
hold an autopsy, and as the friends of
the dead woman were not adverse to
having positive knowledge concerning
the cause of her death, the request was
complied with. They went tothe house
and, excluding everybody from the
room, where the body lay, proceeded
with the dissection. The heart was re-
moved, an examination made of its con-
dition, as well as the surrounding tissues,
and when their explorations were con-
cluded they apparently made proper
and decent arrangement of the woman's
mortal remains, and left. Shortly after
their departure the discovery was made
that the heart had been stolen. The
scandalous action aroused the deep in
dignation of the lady's family, and they
at once came to me to see if the daring
doctor who had done it could be made
to compensate her representatives in
money for the outrage. / am now look
ing up the question, but have as yet
come to no fixed conclusion. If a w0m-
ans heart is stolen during life she has
no remedy but to pursue the depredator
and regain it, or establish a partnership
with him for the joint enjoyment of the
treasure; but in a case of q dead woman
the subject is altogether different, and,
no principles having ever been estab-
lished that am aware of, it is time for
something to be done to settle the ques-
ton. louisville Courier Journal.

To his wife and daughters mingled
disgust and relief, Mr.. Gregg did not
attend their party. Their late breakfast
they were accustomed to take alone. but
neither did he appear at dinner. Late
in the day an excited group broke open
his Office door. fearful of what they
might find there. A revolver and two
letters lay upon the table-the room was
silent and empty.
One letter said to his creditors: II
had fully resolved to end life which
seemed such failure; had, as you see,
made every arrangement to do so; but,
in the end, scarcely know how, better
counsels have prevailed. viU not die
cowardly rascal, cheating my creditors
of their Just dues-rather will l live and
labor to right the wrong which have
done them. Take all have, and let it
paw as far as it will. Every remaining
Indebtedness shall be Cancelled as fast as
possible. Until l can look you all in the
face and can say owe no man shall
not return"
To his wife and daughters he wrote:
81 am sorry to leave you so, but it is un-
avoidable. You could never consent to
share the poor manner of life which will
be mine until my debts are paid. As
soon as l can. will send you a plain
maintenance. Until then, think you
can manage by the sale of your jewelry
and wardrobes."
..How cruelr' cried Cornelia, .'as If
we could spare any of our thingsr'
.'It will not be necessary" remarked
her mother, loftily. "Kathie's husband
will take us to his home, since our
natural protector has seen fit to desert

NED IN every Whlm, no matter how I'M
reasonable. Having been always in the
most moderate circumstances, their
small accession of fortune quite turned
her brain. Nothing would satisfy her
but her husbands quitting what she
termed his mental station, and going into
business on his own account. Perhaps
he also felt, in less measure, his new
importance; at all events, few months
saw him the possessor of a fine new
store and an immense gilt-lettered sign.
With prudence at the helm, this mi ght
have succeeded. but it proved only the
beginning of ventures. A house in q
fashionable street at high rent, more
servants, new and costly furniture and
dresses, were things which Mrs. Gregg
felt indispensable to her position, and
she would not be denied. So, at length,
her husband ceased to demonstrate and
let the tide take its course, shuddering
sometimes when an adverse wind
brought to his ear the roar of distant
breakers, but powerless to keep clear of
dangerous waters. Times at first were
favorable; he cherished always q vague
hope that he might pull through some
way. but growing family brought
growing expenses, times grew harder.
and at last, after having tried every ex-
pedient to keep it of, he found ruin star
ing him in the face His stories of bust
ness pressure did him no good at home;
they were treated as ''mere tricks to scare
us. because he is too stingy to spend the
money. Men always try them. but I'm
not to be fooled that wayr' So spoke
Mrs. Gregg to her daughters, and they
were but too willing to be treasured.
No wonder his thoughts were gloomy
IS he returned to his home. There was
plenty of light there, however, and just

trouble as to need to borrow money of

"Well," he explains, after another
reading. ''she says Lewis has spells when
his mind seems wandering, and he fancies
himself poor, and won't let her have any
money; and she has made this debt,
promising to pay it just now. She'll send
it all back again when he gets right, you

that much. l can't bear to deny the
girr'-she would always be a girl to him.
Long the good old couple chatted over
the letter, it was so seldom they had one
now. and in the morning the heavy draft
upon their small savings went its peril
Gus way. Great would have been their
misgivings could they have followed it to
its destination.
But Mrs. Gregg had no scruples. Her
triumph was complete. The wedding
proved as brilliant as she had planned;
her present, as she had took pains to
ticket it, was admired and envied as
much as even she could wish. True,
there were other remarks not so pleasing,
but these were not for her ears.
II never knew" observed one gentle
man to another, "that Mrs. Gregg had
any property of her own.'

the better for her if she has. There's

The Democratic party is the party Of
the people, the party that is reality and
sincerity sympathlzes with downtrodden
and suffering humanity, the party that
has been true to the Constitution and the
fundamental doctrines of popular
government. When in power it governed
with wisdom and integrity. Why has it
been excluded from power, and been
beaten in every great national contest
lor the last twenty-four years: The eau
ses have been various. We will not here
attempt to enumerate them. But the
facts are sufficient to inspire scrutiny,
circumspection, wisdom and foresight
in the future. The cause of the Demo
cratic party is the cause Of human rights
and liberty. 1t is a deathless struggle,
and will never be given up.-American
