Pain from Severed Limbs.


The feet of Josiah West, who met
with that terrible accident on the
railroad a few days ago, were yester-
day taken by his wife to Fremont,
n. H., for burial. When tho I'M
fortunate man regained conscious
ness at the hospital the morning
following the loss of his limbs
he complained that his toes
panied him a great deal, that they
seemed badly cramped, and he re-
quested that some one move them
for him. At that time his feet were
tied in a bag and the hospital PEG
pie did not know where they were
to be found. 1t seems simply in
credible that the position or con
dition of a severed member of a
persons body should affect in the
least the sensibilities of the owner,
but suffice it to say that the uader-
taker with whom the writer coSEers-
ed aflirms that he personally kDows
numerous cases where persona who
have lost limb declared they felt
pain from an awkward position
which the member was in.
He cited an instance of q man
who lost an arm in this city last
fall. After being amputated, ii was
sent to the undertaker's for burial
1t was placed in a box, the back of
the hand being down, remaining in
this position for several hours
The owner of the severed member,
during that time, experienced pain
in the arm, which grew so unbear-
able that at last he asked a friend
to 90 to the undertaken and see
about the limb. This was at 5:45
in the afternoon. The friend was
busy and did not start Off for half
an hour, and during that time the
pain had ceased and the wounded
man said he need not go. He went,
however, and found that the under
taker had just finished caring for
the arm; that it had been placed in
an easy and natural position in the
box. The time when the arm was
changed from the awkward position
to the latter conceded exactly with
the time when the owner had felt
the pain leave him. When the
friend reported to the unfortunate
man, he (the latter said he knew
just how the arm was placed, that
heacOuld feel its position and cor
rectly described the same.
Another case cited by the under
taker was about n man who lost an
arm above the elbow. The member
was given to the undertaken and
buried. The man subsequently
went to Lawrence to live. About a
year after the accident he paid the
undertaken visit and told him his
arm for long time had panied him
great deal, that the fingers seemed
cramped and that he wanted to see
the buried member Accordingly it
was dug up and examined and,
strange to say, found to have the
fingers tightly turned up towards
the palm, as the man had said they
felt to him. The fingers were
Strengthened and the arm consigned
again to the ground and no more
trouble was experienced from it.

Panama Canal.
Washington Gazette.

The editor has received an in
teresting private letter from Pana-
ma, giving some facts as to the pro
gress of the De Lesseps canal enter
prise, and some views as to the
future thereof. The writer, who
has had exceptional means of know
ing, states that the preparatory work
is being steadily pressed forward.
The company are erecting buildings,
purchasing lands, and in many ways
are utilizing their capital in hand
so as to add to the earning of divi-
dends. About $15,000,000 has al
ready been expended and invested.
Our friend emphatically expresses
his conviction that the canal will be
constructed, that every dollar in
vested will finally accrue to our ad-
vantage, and that it will shortly be
seen that De Lesseps hopes to dis
arm popular hostility in this country
by establishing the fact that the
bulk of the stock will be under the
control of American owners. The

100000 of the purchase money;
as much more is to be paid this fall,
in October next. This $S,000,000
has come so far from the pockets of
American investors and spectators
in New York and San Francisco.
The impression prevails that
there is an understanding that the
railroad remains in the hands OF
the American shareholders, who
are known to be quietly buying all
the Panama stock that comes on
the market. From the earnings of
the road dividends are to be gained
for the canal stock while construc-
ton proceeds. 1t can be seen that
if American money controls the
railroads, and the roads manage
the Canal Company, that the end is
inevitable. De Lesseps is the king
of promoters and the very engineer
of diplomacy.

The sweet, earnest voice was
silent; the waves moaned and sobbed
ON the sands below like some
doomed, helpless soul, and the
music hoated out to them wild and
sweet, dying in crash and wall of
anguish.

She turned, with a face as white
as his in the moonlight and look
of pain in her grave eyes; then, very
softly, with a world of saddened
tenderness in her voice: II am en-
gagged to marry Philip Leicester; we
have cared for each other a long
time"
And then Leicester's tall form
came upon the terrace. He took
Carmie's hand upon his arm and
drew her soft shawl around her with
proud air of possession, and to-
gether they walked away in the
moonlight.

England has, in what may be
termed the regular army of the Uni
ted Kingdom, in round numbers,
1896 men of all ranks. The
army of India numbers 62,50O,
making q total force of regulars
of all ranks of about 10000
men. OF the army of the Uni
ted Kingdom 45 per cent. is neces-
sarily employed abroad in her many
colonies; the remainder is scattered
over England, Wales, Scotland and
Ireland-not less than one-thIrd in
the latter. The force in Ireland
cannot be reduced with safety while
the island teens with angry discon-
tent. On the contrary, as eng
lands difficulty is Ireland's oppor-
tunity" a serious foreign war would
require the employment of larger
rather than a lesser force in the
Green Isle. From these figures and
facts we may begin to see why, with
all her power, the statement may be
not less true than astonishing that
England can spare only 10000
troops for service abroad in case
of emergency, while the force drawn
from India to Egypt is limited for
like prudential reasons to 5000
men. There is a lare numerical
force in the United Kingdom 'on
paper''-139, 900 militia, IA, 500 yeo-
man cavalry, $4,000 volunteers
and a pensioners and army reserve
force, $1,000, but excepting the lat
ter class, these are good deal like
our home guards in the war, en-
gagged not to leave home except il
case of invasion. To bring any o
this reserved force into active ser
vice would take much time and pro
duce strain not unlike that caused
in the United States by the draf
of 1868.

Reaurepard in Egypt.

A story published in Baltimore
that George H. Butler, the nephew
of Gen. Butler, while counsel gener-
al to Egypt in 1870, prevented the
appointment of Gen. Beauregard
to the positian of commander-in-
chief of the Egyptian army, is con
firmed by Mr.. Butler. The Balti
more story puts it that Mr.. Butler
represented to the Khedive that
Beauregard was an unpardoned reb-
ell; who, having betrayed his own
country, might not hesitate upon
an opportunity to betray the Khe-
dive. Gen. Beauregard's designa-
ton of Gen. Butler as an outlaw fol
his war acts was supposed to be
the animus that moved Mr.. Butler
who says concerning the affair
Il was on friendly terms with his
Highness Ismail Pasha, then the
Khedive, and he took my advice il
the matter. My action went nc
further than friendly counsel, anC

Joe Johnston or Gen. Gordon. Blu
frankly, there wasn't room in Egypt
for Beaureguard and myself at the

had already one good field genera
in his service, who saved his army
in the disastrous Abyssinian cam
paign, Gen. Loring. Rahi Pashi
commanded the army, but Lorin;
saved it when King John ha,
almost crushed it. Loring was

The whisky question is simply a
question of fact. If the saloons of
a state or city do more good than
they do injury; if they build up
more houses than they curse; if
they make more honest voters than
corrupt ones; If they build up more
families than they degrade; if they
make more honest men than crimi
nails; more wealthy men than pau
pers; then the man is not honest,
not fair, nor manly nor worthy to be
voter if he refuses to vote to
continue the saloons. If a saloon
is a blessing, Il man is an en-
envy to the commonwealth and
civilization if he opposes it or votes
to destroy it. But if the reverse is
true-if the saloon is an enemy to
society; if it corrupts voters; if it
fills prisons; if it crowds poor
houses; if it breaks warm hearts; il
it beggars children, how can we vote
for such a curse? A vote to place
men in Office or keep those in Office
who wink in the existence Of sa-
looms is simply a vote against law
against good order and against good
morals. The whole question is
What is the relation of the saloon:
TO society? Only this and nothing
