Phenomena OF Death

To be shot dead is one of the easiest modes
OF terminating life; yet, rapid "a it il, the
body has leisure to feel and time to reflect.
On the first attempt by one of the frantic sd
herents of Spain TO assassinate William,
prince OF Orange, who took the lead in the
revolt of the Netherlands, the ball passed
through the bones of his face, and brought
him to the ground. In the instant that pre-
coded stupefaction, he was able to frame the
notion that the ceiling of the room had fallen
and crushed him. The cannonshot which
plunged into the brain OF Charles XII. did
not prevent him from Selling his sword by
the hilt. The idea of an attack and the ne
ces.ity for defense, was impressed upon him
by blow which we should have supposed too
tremendous to leave an interval of thought,
But it by no means follows that the inhIction
OF fatal violence ia accompanied by pang.
From what is known of the first effect of
gunshot wounds, il is probable that the i'm
preston ia rather stunning than acute.
Unless death be immediate, the pain is as
varied as the nature of the njuries, and these
are past counting up. But there is nothing
singular in the dying sensations, though
Lord Byron remarked the physiological
peculiarly that the expression is invariably
that of languor, while in deasA from a stab

character, OF gentleness or ferocity, 10 the last
breath. Some of these cases are of interest,
to show with what slight disturbance life
may go on under a mortal wound, till it
suddenly comes to a final stop. A foot SOL
der at Waterloo, pierced by musket ball in
the hip, begged water from a trooper who
CHANGED to possess 4 cauteen of beer. The
wounded man drank, returned his heartiest
thanks, mentioned that bis regiment was
nearly exterminated, and having proceeded
a dozen yards in his way to the rear, fell to
the earth, and with one convulsive move
ment of his limbs concluded his career.
Yet his voice." said the trooper, who him
told the story, gave scarcely the smallest
sign OF weakness"
Captain Basil Hall, who in his early
youth was present at the battle of Corunna,
has singled out, from the confusion which
consigns to oblivion the woes and gallantry
Of war, another instance, extremely similar
which occurred on that occasion. An old
officer who was shot in the head, arrived
pale and faint at the temporary hospital,
and begged the surgeon to look at his wound
which was pronounced to be mortal

impeded utterance, " and yet should like

PrrrsBURG, March 1.-The labor troubles
here have all been smicably adjusted. The
strike in the eight Pittsburg mills has been
sverted, and the lockout at the Homestead
Steel Works adjusted. The union men will
resume work at the Homestead mills on Tues

Company asked the workmen to sign has
been amended by the withdrawal OF the
clause prohibiting union men from working
in the mill and the clause reducing
wages A number of non-uniOn men, how

the officers of the Analgaolated Associ alton
of Iron and Steel Workers disclaim any VIC

THE feature in the proposed bankrupt
law which leaves lie workings to the discre-
ton of the United States courts is commend
led by many business men. The bill does
not recognize assignees or registers. That it
fails to set aside State exemptions is thought
to be a fault; also it, failure to prevent
preference OF creditors. There is fear that
the new business will clog the district courts,
nod that it will work against creditors.

the legislature OF that State, states that from
reliable data it has been ascertained the an
nual cost of boundary fences to the agricul-
tural industry of South Carolina exceeds

county taxes levied for all purposes for the
last fiscal year, as shown by the comptroller
books, amounted to only 81 SOS, $40, thus es-
