WE would like to know upon what
principle the Northern Home for
Friendless Children of the city Of Phila-
delphia has been for years getting and
now again asks from the Legislature
$1,000 per year, appropriated out of the
state funds, that will not with equa!
justice apply to our local institution Of
the same character. Lancaster county
supports its own home at an expense of
$4,000 per year out of its own county
treasury. If there are soldiers orphans
or soldiers widows supported in the
Philadelphia institution, as is alleged,
let tie state pay for them out Of an ap-
preparation for that specific purpose, as
the constitution directs, but while Lam
caster county maintains its own home
Philadelphia ought to he told to do the
same.

THE Memphis Appeal, apropos of the

THE Memphis appeal, apropos of the
Dukes case, reads very excellent lee
ture to the exceedingly silly people who
have been lavishly abusing the Dukes
jury for doing its duty according to its
understanding of it. The Appeal when
it says that man on trial for murder is
not to be convicted of that offence be-
cause he was guilty Of writing libelous
letters, declares what ought to be plain
to very common understanding. But
it is nevertheless fact that the many
people who have denounced Dukes jury
for acquitting him have had no other in
centive but their indignation that
Dukes escaped punishment for writing a
letter that he was not being tried for
writing. There is law imposing severe
penalties upon the libeler. which might
have been invoked against Dakes, but
| which very strangely has not been.
That law would have punished him for
writing a slanderous letter. The law
under which he was tried could only
punish him for homicide. OF that lie
was acquitted, and the jury thought it
had good reason for it's verdict. For
libel he has not been tried and that he
goes free of punishment, though guilty
is the fault of the prosecuting officers
rather than of the jury.

AsLEEP THREE DAYS.
Curious Experience OF . Young Plumber IN
Cleveland.

CurlOus Experience OF . Young Plumber IN
Cleveland.
Daniel NJ. Mulcahey is young plumber
who resides with his widowed mother in
St. Clair street, Cleveland. Uutil three
years ago he was in good health, at which
time he went to bed on Saturday night and
slept steadily for 18 hours, all efforts to
awaken him proved futile. A physician
was sent for, but could afford no relief.
At evening when his mother was weeping
beside his bed he woke suddenly, and for
the time was all right. A few months
later he had a similar experience, the spell
lasting for 80 hours. Once IN every two
months the attack returned, and the
sleeping spells gradually increased in
duration, until in July, 1881, when no was
asleep for two days and two nights no
action of experienced physicians afOrding
relief.
DIR. Capener, who has had the case in
hand, said to reporter concerning 1t: ~
was first called to see the boy a year ago
last July. That time he slept for G5 con,
secutive hours, or almost three days and
nights. When FIRST saw him though
he would never awake. He was as cold as
a corpse, skin leaden colored, pupils con-
tractad, and pulse throbbing slow and
heavy. 1t was impossible to arouse him
at first. After he came out OF tho stupOr
he was very sick, and did not think he
would recover. never knew of a similar
case nor heard of one exactly like this. l
called DR.. Bennett in at my second seige
with the young man, and he declared that
nothing Of the kind had ever come updel
his observation. Mulcahey is all estima
BILE young man of good habits. He does
not drink. and the primary cause of the
sickness is a mystery. He has been grad
ually getting better since last September.
I recommended tonics and bathing daily
in cold water, and he has almost recovered.
Aside from his sleeping spells his health
is good"

At the Tewkesbury investigation yester-
day morning at Boston, Christian Mueller
testified to tanned human skins received
from various doctors and students, and a
pair of uppers for slippers made from a
woman's skin were shown.
Frank G.. Haverlin, formerly of the One
Hundred and Fifty-sixth New York reSi,
ment, testified to the cruelty practised by
the nurses. On one occasion they dressed
an idiot boy in fantastic garb and fright
ened one man, German, so that he died
soon afterward. He remembered patient
who had received extreme JUNCTION from a
priest, being taken by the back of the
neck and forced, screaming, into the bath
tub. He died thirty six hours afterward.
Witness said these cruelties had taken
place since last September, and then de-
scribed tho food given the inmates,
which was passably good, and of which
there was plenty. Witness said he would
not 60 back to Tewkesbury if he could
avoid it.

Secretary of State.
President.

Governor Butler has referred the
question to the Attorney-Gcneral
Of Massachusetts, whether or not a
woman is IL ''person, l." and the At
toncy-General decides that she is
not. In consequence the Governor
has sent in the name of a man TO
take the place Of a woman on a
board which the law says "shall
consist oFninc PERSONS The COun
ell to which the nomination is re
ferrcd refuse to act upon it on the
ground that the woman who holds
it is a person" and that there is
no vacancy. This settles the bold
Bon's case with female suftragiSts
1t cooks his political goose, with
them at least. But we would Ike
to see the explanation Of lis posi-
tion upon this matter. VIA. is it
that makes a person ''porsouH'
what is there about Il man that
makes him a person the lack OF
which in woman prevents her from
being person? Is it the hersute
adornment of hi face, MS big f e.,
orwhat! Webster defines a persol
as Giving soul; self conscious
being; a moral agent; especially
a living, human beng; l4an wo-
man or child; an individual Of tho
human race" and we DEFY Ben
Butler to prove to the contrary.

DEAR MAJOR Having Just re-
ceivcd and read your paper of the
27th, | hasten to congratulate you
upon your new departure. Your
paper now has the true ring, and
you certainly must feel like new
man, while | think you are little
premature in protlaiming to the
world your choice for President
and vice President. don't know as
| would seriously object to your
candidates, but at the same time
| would suggest that you leave the
making ofthe ticket to the conven-
tion. / am satisfied however, that
no true Democrat will object to
Cox.
admire your enthusiasm but as,
in the case of all new converts,
there is danger of your zeal getting
the better of your judgement, and
in my opinion, for one who has
trained with and advocated the Re
publican cause so long, that you
are a little too brash to start with
by being careful and discreet l
have no doubt but that in a short
time you will become one Of The
shining lights Of our time honored
and glorious old party,
Again, l congratulate you.
Respectfully yours,
BYRON SHERRY.
Our old friend Gen. Sherry,
seems to think we have fallen from
grace and gloats over the fall-but
he Is mistaken. We are still rock
rooted in the faith OF the Saviors of
the Republic; and again, we think
the Democracy will have to nomi-
nate some one other than Sunset
for the Presidency, as not one out
of a dozen of them would be able
to spell his name Alright. Weeven
had to correct the spelling OF the
lame as rendered by our CORES
pondent. Spelled correctly it has
but three letters in it.
