Opinion on Hancock.

IoaH OaUA NtWs.I
Past experience as a statesman
will give BIN superior advantages
in the committee rooms, where the
greater portion of the work of con-
gress is done. His well known
character for sturdy independence
and honesty of purpose will make
his opinions and views respected by
both friends and opponents.

His Influence.
TWaxahachie Mirror.1

John Hancock has political rec
ord that is above reproach. AS an
intellectual man, he has few equals
and no superiors in 1exas. This
fact, combined with his Union rec
ord, will give him greater influence
than any man his district could send
to congress.

Sugar maze out of old shirts,
chemises and linen underwear is
being successfully manufactured in
Germany. The process is simple
enough: The rags are first treated
with sulphuric acid and transformed
into dextrine. The product, after
being cleared and whitened with
lime, is subjected to a second bath
of sulphuric acid more strongly con-
centrated than the first. This trans
forms it into glucose; and it enters
thereafter into the composition of
jellies, confeotioneries and table
sugar.

1AOOuO a. JOdI tlvoT tu0 evening JuSC
described l was spending June holiday
on the shores Of one of those lovely lochs
that open northward from the Firth of
Clyde. Warwick was once more my
companion; but, amid my own struggles
and anxieties, I had lost all save rec
objection of poor Revelle. A success,
long and ardently worked for, had given
me a right to enjoy the first real holiday
| had known for many long day. and I
exercised that right in quietly-luxnri-
GUS fashion. My friend and i walked
and talked and smoked and fished AMI
cruised together, and were as Supremacy,
if less demonstratively, happy in each
others society as were the young mar
ried couple who lived in the cottage next
to the one occupied by us while on shore.
AS was natural enough, we gradually
formed slight acquaintance with this
pair-Hammond by name-who were
merely holiday visitors like ourselves.
The bride was a pretty little thing,
rather vain and weak minded, to tell the
truth, while the husband was gentle
manly, frank-mannered fellow, though
Warwick, the severe, never thoroughly
liked him. They were very devoted,
taking long walks together almost ev-
cry day, or cruising about the loch, in
lug-sail boat, which, in spite of frequent
warnings, Hammond handled not only
clumsily but recklessly. The last of
these warnings was destined to come
from me.
It was fine afternoon, but one on
which it required no great weather lore
to predict succession of those treacher-
GUS squalls-sO common and so fatal on
the Highland lochs-which in few min
ntes lash the smiling waters into angry
pillows and threaten destruction to such
small craft as are not handled in a sea-
manlike manner. Seeing Hammond and
his wife embark, I signaled to them,
shook my head and pointed to the hills;
but the young husband responded with
laugh and wave of his hand, and
presently the boat fitted white winged
round a jutting promontory, while
the sun glinted on the girl wife's bright
hair.
AS [ resumed my walk with o shrug

affairs. was not in the best of humors.
A slip on the hills the day before had

Glasgow, the nearest civilized center, to
replenish his fybook. I soon imped
home, and took refuge in a book and
pipe. Before long sudden darkness
caused me to look up. I knew what was
coming. Without further warning down
the loch swept tremendous squat, &C
companied presently by fierce torrents
of rain. As the wind howled louder and
louder, and the rain dashed the window
panes, I suddenly thought of the Ham
monds. Snatching up my hat, water
proof and crutch, I hurried to their cot
tage. A hasty inquiry elected the ex-
pected answer. They had not returned.
With an anxious foreboding at my heart
I limped quickly on to the little pier,

away.
Revelle looked after her as she was
borne off by sympathizing women, and
his countenance appeared agitated by
strong and conflicting passions. All at
once he seemed, as it were, to awake.
and his habitual expression of sad gray
ity returned. Shaking himself as a dog
might, he pushed back his wet hair. and
with something like groan once more
turned his face to the sea.
Knowing what we shall presently
know, who shall say what angels, good
and bad, during those few brief mo-
ments fought for the mastery in that
noble breast?
Again we saw him reach the boat but
the interval was longer this time, for not
only was the distance greater, but the
eaimmer's strength was less. There
was too, more delay in beginning the
sstu m journey, and Hammond seemed

knew what it was to be thus grappled
by drowning man, and held my breath
once more. Suddenly I felt my hand
grasped. It was Warwick, just returned.
"Thank God p cried, and pointed to
the boat. In an instant my friend was
cleaving the water, amid the sobs and
the prayers of the lookers-on. What
happened thereafter he shall tell him

hardly speak, but he recognized me, and
gasped out something about being sur

had met unexpectedly in the Strand. I

the. shore, telling him to follow me.
Knowing him Of old as swimmer, and
not being aware of his former feat, /
thought he could do the distance with
ease. So-God forgive me II saved
the cowardly villain and left the honest,
brave man to drown"
For poor Revelle never came ashore.
The wind had abated, and the rain,
changing to an jmpenetrable mist, hid
all from our sight. And for whom had
he died? For the false love and the
doubly- false friend who formerly blight
ed the life that was in the end thrown
away upon them. Neither Warwick nor
L had, OF course, been aware of the
identity Of our young neighbors but
there could be no doubt that Revelle
well knew for whose sake he thus rushed
npon death. He had been acting in
Glasgow, and, his engagement ended a
day or two before, he came to this neigh
borhood, not so much on account of it's
intrinsic attractions as from a fond de-
sire to look once more upon his false
love, whom he knew to be here.
Night and day we sought fer the body
OF our gallant martyr. but it was never
found and now the tickle waters of the
Firth laugh or sing dirges as their fancy
sways them over poor Revelle.

A DEAD MANS HEART BEATS.
Interesting Experiments With Electricity
On the Body Of a. Murderer.
TChicopo Dispatch tn New York SIM I

Interesting Experiments With Electricity
one the Body Of a. Murderer.
Chicago Dispatch to New York Sun.
On Friday afternoon, in one minute af-
ter the body of James Tracy, the murderer
of policeman Huebner, had been taken
from the gallows, Drs. Mann and
Bluthardth, in the presence of other ply
sicians, began the interesting experiment
suscitation. The features were not distort-
ed and the dead man looked as peaceful
as though he had passed away in sleep
DR.. Bluthardt said:
He died painlessly. He lost conscious
within moment after the drop fell. He
was dead before he knew what hurt him.
The neck was dislocated at the first verte-
bra. L wish you would let me make a
post-mortem,' he added, turning to James
Mccain, to whom Tracy had willed his
body
NO." said the old Irishman, looking
mournfully at the corpse. He will be
buried in Calvary just as he is"
Then the doctors applied the electricity,
and 1T was intensely interesting to see the
muscles of the cold face twitch, the mouth
pout, the eyes open and shut and the breast
heave. The countenance of DR.. Danforth
lit up suddenly as he bent over the corpse.
"Hush!' he said, II can hear the heart
beat" The others bent down in turn. and
they, too, heard the rhythmic throbbing of
the heart. This is the statement that they
wrote at the request of the representative
of the Sun.
''The experiment was begun by applying
one pole over the spinal. cord and the
other over the heart-the latter by means
|lof three needles, one over the apex and
two over the base of the heart. The need
les were inserted beneath the skin, so as to
bring the electric current in direct COM
munication with the heart. On turning
on the current tie effect was very marked.
Muscular contortions began wherever the
electric current reached, but especially in
the face and neck. The heart began to con-
tract feebly, not regularly. With the ear
over the heart we could distinctly hear, or
rather feel, the hearts contractions. By
removing the electrode we could produce a
variety of facial expressions. The arms
would contract, the legs move with con-
siderable force. and the muscles of the alb
domen contract strongly. The most sig
n1ticaEt fact, however, was the rhythmic
action OF the heart, Notwithstanding that
the neck was broken. 1t is probable that
considerable proportion of criminals
who are hanged in this country are either
mechanically strangled- that is, choked to
death or killed by shock is, death is
the result of the terrible impression made
upon the nervous system. In cases where
the neck is not broken and the spinal cord
is not lacerated, we are of opinion that re-
suscitation would not be impossible. 1t
might be accomplished by electricity,
friction, artificial respiration, the hot bath
and other we'll known means of restora-
ton. In this present case resuscitation
was impossible, as the neck was broken"

the man to whom she had linked her
fate.
Recently startling news reached tina.
solitary woman In her mountain retreat.
It came in the shape of letter written
only last June, and dated at Melbourne,
Australia. The writer said he had that
day assisted to bury man of the name
of Saunders, but whose papers, which
the writer had been charged to examine.
showed he was Isaac Young, an Ameri-
can, and who confessed to a horrible
crime. Then followeda detailed account
of the night in the glen, sixteen years
ago.
1t seems Young had made up his mind
to rob and murder Baxter from the time
he learned that Baxter had two thousand
dollars. He followed him quietly down
the glen, stole upon him unawares, and
struck him blow with stick of wood
which killed him instantly. To secure
the body under some loose earth and
,nes was the work of very few NO.
ests. and before Mrs. Baxter had
t'iol down the glen Young was miles
way. He fastened to New Orleans,
'oh passage t. Australia. changed his
same, and specialized with his ill-gotten
:ains. He prospered amazingly, and,
unlike the traditionanal murderer, died
undetected and wealthy.
lie directed that Mrs. Baxter be
found, if living, and paid two thousand
dollars, with interest from the date of the
murder, and he begged her to forgive
him. This was all that the letter con-
tanned, but subsequent investigation
were found at the foot of the glen, and
-decently buried, and the Australian
party turned out to be Isaac Young, the
murderer. n re
Mrs. Baxter declined the money with
Indignation, but she may yet conclude to
take it. ,
The story is as strange as it is true.

THE QUANGLE wANGLE's HAT.

On the top of the Crumpetty Tree
The Quangle Wangle sat;
But his face you could not see
On account of his beaver hat;
For his hat was hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side,
And bells and buttons, and hoops, aud lace,
So that nobody could ever see the face
OF the Quangle Wangle Quee.
The Quangle wangle said
To himself, ON the Crumpetty Tree:
"Jam and jelly, and bread
Are the best food for me!
But, the longer live in this Crumpetty Tree,
The palmer than ever it seems to me
That very few people come this way,
And that life on the whole is far from gay!"
Said the Quangle Wangle Quee.
But there came to the Crumpetty Tree
Mr. and Mrs. Canary;
And they said: 6 Did you ever see
Any spot as charmingiy airy?
May we build nest by your lovely Hat?
Mr.. Quangle Wangle, grant us that.
0 please let us come and build nest,
OF whatever material suits you best,
Nj. Quangle Wangle Quee."
And, besides, to the Crumpetty Tree
Came the Stork, the Duck and the Owl,
The Snail and the Bundle Bee,
The Frog and the Fimb!e Fowl
(The Fimble Fowl with Corkscrew leg);
And all of them said: " We humbly beg
We may build our homes on your lovely Hat
Mr. Quangle Wangle, grant us that,
Mr.. Quangle Wangle Quee."
And the Golden Grouse came there,
And the People, who has no toes,
And the small Olympian Bear,
And the Dong with luminous nose,
And the Blue Balloon who played the flute,
And the Orient Calf from the land of Tute,
And the Artery Squash and the Bisky Bat
ALI came and built on the lovely Hat
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee.
And the Quangle WaDgle said
To himself on the Crumpetty Tree:
"When all these creatures move
What wonderful noise there1l be-"
And at night, by the light of the Mulberry Moon,
They danced to the flute of the Blue Balloon,
On the broad green leaves Of the Crumpetty Tree;
And all were as happy as happy could be
With the Quangle Wangle Quee.
