A Surgeons Experiment.

DR.. de la Pommerais was executed in
Paris, in June, 1864, for murder of the
Palmer type. On the night before his ex-
ecution, says a correspondent, he was visi-
ted by Surgeon Valpeau, who after few
preliminary remarks, informed him that he
had come in the interest of science, and
that he hoped for DR.. de la Pommerais's
cooperation. "You Know" he said, "that
one of the most interesting questions of
physiology is as to whether any ray of the
memory, reflection, or real sensibility sur
wives in the brain of man after the fall Of
the head. At this point the condemned
man looked somewhat startled, but the
professional instincts at once assumed their
sway, and the two physicians calmly dis
cussed and arranged the details for an ex-
pertinent the next morning. "When the
knife falls" said Velpeau, II shall be stand
ing at your side and your head will at once
pass from the executioner's hands into
mine. l will then cry distinctly into your
ear: Count de la Pommerais, can you at
this moment thrice lower the lid Of your
right eye while the left remains oper? The
next day when the great surgeon reached
the condemned cell he found the doomed
man practicing the sign agreed upon. A
few minutes later the gui.lotire had don.
its work, the head was in Velpeau's hands,
and the question put. Familiar as he was
with the most shocking and CHASTITY scenes,
he was almost frozen with terror as he saw
the right lid fall, while the other eye look
ed fxedly upon him. again" he cried
franticaly. The lids moved but they did
not part. 1t was all over.

Montana Forest Preserve.

The President in his message strongly
recommends legislation toward the protec-
ton of the forests Of Montana, especially
that part wherein rise the sources of the
Missouri, Columbia and Saskatchewan riv-
ers. If this is accomplished Montana will
have, for all time to come, magnificent
park and forest preserve, where the native
animals may find protection and escape to-
tai extinction at the hands of the industri-
GUS hunter or sportsman. The President
points out proper place for such park as
follows: The preservation Of such por-
tons of the forest on the national domain
Is essentially contribute to the equitable
flow Of important water courses is Of the
highest consequence. The important trib-
utaries Of the Missouri, Columbia and Sas-
katchewan rivers rise in the mountains Of
Montana near the northern boundary Of
the United States, between the Blackfoot
and. Flathead Indian reservations This
region Is unsuitable for settlement. but up.

EX-SENATOR DORSEY.
He Inaugurates q War on His Partners
in the Cattle Business.

A Santa Fe dispatch Of the sd inst. says
that ex-senator S. w. Dorsey has taken
torcible possession of the buildings and
ranches Of the Polo Blanco Cattle Compa-
ny, placed an armed force of men on & uard
and deposed Manager c. NJ. Wool worth.
The ranches and headquarters Of the CON-
pany are located in Colfax county, N. NJ,
near the town of Springer, Dorsey's home.
The ranch is sixty miles long and forty in
width. He also, individually, owns several
smaller tracts. Manager Woolworth's en-
deavor to include one of these in his charge
as property Of the company appears to be
the cause of the present difficulty. Wool
worth represents Hon. Jno. w. Bosler, Of
Pennsylvania, who holds $125,ooo worth Of
the cattle company's stock, while Dorsey
owns $Io5,ooo worth, or one-third Of the
capital stock. Bosler, it will be remember
ed, is the Pennsylvania senator whoknows
a great deal about the star route matter,
but who was not placed upon the witness
stand in the late trial because of his friend
ship and intimate acquaintance with Hon.
James G. Blaine.
Woolworth and his attorney, M. w.
Mills, arrived in Santa Fee on the grid inst.
for the purpose Of asking Chief Justice
Ax:ell for an injunction restraining Dorsey
from continuing his possession Of the
headquarters and ranches of the company,
but have not presented their bill. They
allege that Dorsey Is insane and is drink
ing hard.

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Fashions Of Our Fathers, and Things that
Were Familiar, Now Obsolete.
Forty years ago the lecturer and the lec-
ture course had not made their appearance.
The village debating society was ofregular
winter occurrence, disoassing-" Which
was the greater man, George Washington
or Christopher ColumbusT or "What in
vention has been most useful to mankind,
the art of printing or the mariners CON-
pass?"
The land was free for all to shoot over.
Breech-loaders and "shells" or cartridges"
were unthougtt Of: Gunners cut their
own wads, poured the charge of powder
into the muzzle, then handful of shot, ad-
justed the percussion cap and banged away.
But if the fowling piece was not improved,
the game Of all descriptions was far more
plentiful Forty years ago deer was still
native to the pine forests of Long Island,
and yearly hunt for them was organized
for them by the sporting element of the
country.
The trunk of the period was covered
with small brass nails. The baggage
s,nasher had barely been developed. Va
Uses were long and narrow. Saddle-bags
were not out of date.
City hotels called the guests to meals by
the gong or dinner bell. The landlord sat
at the head of the table and carved the
breakfast steak. The guests dined togeth-
e, all at the same hour. Dinner was serv-
ed with great parade and Formally. The
walters removed the covers from the cha
fling dishes at given signal, bore them
aloft out Of the room, then reappeared and
carried the "victuals" off on the dishes to
be carved on side tables.
The oyster saloon of that time was fin
ished off with "stalls" and curtained re-
cesses affording parties more seclusion and
quiet than those Of to-day. 1t hung with
out cloth-covered, balloon-s shaped sign,
painted red inside of which candle was
stuck at night.
The bar of the period was more dingy
than that of the present, but the liquor was
better. Brandy was not obsolete. In the
city drinks we're three cents 'before the
screen" and six cents behind it. Six cent
drinks were deemed extravagant and so
were three cent cigars. Among old and
prosperous families could be found more
cut-glass decanters and port or Madeira in
the closet or in the side-board than to-day.
Hundreds Of smaller agricultural villages
forty years ago maintained or two taverns
where they now have none. Tipping and
intemperance among our natives was far
more general than now.
The "sdiid men" of the town belonged
to engine companies, and pumped faithful
ly at fires. A village fire often terminated
in a subdued and respectable drunk. Ex-
haustion justified unusual recourse to slim.
ulants at unaccustcmed hours, and the
rest followed. The village engine was
always under repair after a fire and always
broke down at one. Householders were
required by law to keep leather buckets to
be used at fires. They hung in the hall
way and had the owners name painted
on them in white letters.-P,entice Null

TEMPERANCE QUESTION IN OHIO.

81. Louis Republican; Gov. Poster of
ONO makes the temperance question a
prominent feature in his message, lie de-
clares lntemperance has grown to be an
overshadowing evil in that state, where
over 10000 places exist in which unre-
strained traffic in liquor is carried on, and
that traffic amounts to more than 100000
600 annually. Although the constitution
does not permit the licensing Of saloons he
believes that instrument would permit
tax on the traffic that the property whereon
and wherein il is carried on could be
made responsible tor such tax. Gov. Fos-
ter favors constitutional amendment,
placing the whole question subject to legis-
lative control, rather than prohibition by
the fundamental law He argos the abso-
lutte closing of all drinking houses on Sum
day. Open saloons on that day he regards
as greater evil than the traffic on all the
other six. The subject is thus brought
face to face with the Legislature of Ohio;
but positive as Gov. Fosters views are he
does not favor any constitutional provis-
ions which do not already exist in effect in
Missouri.

Some time agoa man named Smith,
living in Stonefort, johnson county, had a
small lot of eggs sent to him by the Wa
bash road, and they did not come to him in
good order. He sued the company fer
damages and obtained judgement. But
the company didn't settle quite promptly
enough to suit him aud he had freight
car tied up chained to the track. Sunday
or Monday, while making up freight train
the car was accdently broken loose from its
fastening, which excited the whole Stone
fort community to degree which BODIED
dire vengeance to the first officer or en-
ploye of the road that might venture to
show his phiz there. The Smiths instruct.
ed the county constable to hold himself in
readiness and to capture the whole id
Wabash company, Jay Gould and all, at
the very first opportunity. Accordingly
when on Tuesday night the regular freight
train came into the town and while taking
what freight was there to take, the con-
stable having fortified himself for the i'm
portsnt duty with copious draught of IL
quid corn, proceeded to the caboose and
arrested the "corndoctor the biggest
man on the train by but who had
not been at all concerned in the matter for
which he was arrested. There was JUS
tice of the peace at Stonefort, but the con-
stable, for some reason, would not allow his
prisoner to be examined there, and in plain
violation of state law, proceeded toward
little place known as Stealeasy, about ten
miles away from Stonefort. The conductor
lett his train and followed submssively, but
he soon found an opportunity to escape.
On the way his guard found it necessary
frequently to draw upon his flask for more
courage and before the couple had pro-
ceeded very far any one meeting them and
not knowing better would have taken
the prisoner for the officer and vice
versa When the constable was sufficiently
'corned" to render bis locomaton some
what uncertain, the "corndoctor" left him
without hindrance, boarded his train and
came away from Stouefort but little be-
hind time. Thus was the majestic law
again foied in the glorious county of John
