Miss Mary Arla's Daily Natural Functions

Miss Mary Arla's Daily Natural Functions
Suspended Since Christmas.
From the St Louis Evening Chronicle.
Since Christmas day Mary Aria of Louis
vile has neither eaten, drank, nor performed
any of the daily functions of nature All the
organs of nature excepting the heart and
lungs seem to have become clogged, and even
these two perform their duties slugglshy.
She has always been subject to biiousness.
Christmas day she ate large dinner. The
next morning she was found to be in trance
apparently. The girl, who is but IS, lay on
her back with her eyelids open, teeth clenched
and pulse beating slowly. She was uncon-
cious and her skin was as dry as parchment
There has been no change in her condition
since, though every thing has been
done to restore her. The mother,
a widow who had been supported by
the girls earnings in a wooden mill, has
watched the body waste to mere skeleton,
and is assisted in caring for the unfortunate
girl by kind neighbors. Every day they have
looked for her to die. In almost every par
ticular she resembles an Egyptian mummy
except that she breathes. She has neither
the paled hue of dead person, nor that Pc
culiar of one in healthy life, but is of deep
saffron, like one in the yellow jaundice A
great many curious people have visited the
house, No. 632 East Walnut street, and the
other day an experiment was made by some
students from the Medical college They
applied an electric battery, and, after every
cell had been put on, her eye-balls rolled about
in that state of absolute establishment one
would imagine to possess person just raised
from the grave. Her mouth was opened and
some victuals were placed beside her, but
only to be dashed into the face of the nearest
student. 10 his discontinue

him to the thanks of the country. The army
has always been the most important feature in
the prosperity of our section, but Epson did
not confine himself to locality but defended
the army as a national necessity, and
showed that the growing evil
of communism demanded that the
army he made equal to any emergency to pre-
serve the national peace. This might not be
considered good State rights doctrine, but Up
son spoke in the light of experience, and did
not stop to consult the demagogues. Epson
improved his opportunities, so that he leaves
Washington with the reputation of not only a
hard working, conscientious member, but a
man of ability.
He retires to private life with sigh of re-
lief, and leaves Washington without regret.
He returns to his home at San Antonio with
the joy of boy entering on a holiday.

KISSING ST. PETERS TOE.
A Remarkable Scene in the Great Church
of Rome.

A Remarkable Scene in the Great Church
of Rome.
From a Rome Letter in the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
was not long in discovering the famous
bronze statute of St. Peter, which, by the way,
was probably never intended to represent him
at all, the best authorities now agreeing
that it was meant for Jupiter. But however
that may be, this very rude and inartistic figure
has long done duty as a representative head
of the church, and on this first and allmy sue
Ceeding visits there was a sort of fascination
for me in watching the never-ceasing stream of
people doing honor to the statue.
St. Peter sits on fine marble throne placed
against the last column on the right side of
the nave; one foot is extended so as to be in
reach of the faithful, and upon the great toe
have been imprinted so many kisses that the
original digit was long ago worn away, and
the new one in gilded bronze will probably,
in its turn be renewed in the course of a few
hundred years if the osculatory practice be
kept up so long. 1t is sight to behold; old
men and maidens, young men and children,
high and low, rich and poor, one with another,
up they all march, give the sacred toe little
dab with hand or handkerchief, bestow the
kiss and travel on, evidently with the pleasing
consciousness of duty performed. A filthy,
ragged beggar, princess in velvet and seal
skin, bare-foOted Franciscan monk, long
string of little boys, some of whom must be
lifted up by the bigger ones or the priest in
charge, saw all sorts and conditions kissing
that world-renowned toe and did my own EN-
brace of it-vicariously.

THE NEXT SPEAKER.
Also Some Gossip About Democratic Can
didates for the Presidency

Also Some Gossip About Democratic Can
didates for the Presidency.
A member Of the Illinois delegation, in dis
cussing the speakership question with LIGHT
correspondent, gave utterance to the follow.
ing essay on national politics: "There has
been considerable talk of Morrison for
speaker, but find it emanates from Randall
men. Illinois isn't urging Morrison for the
place, and he has assured his friends that he
will not be a candidate. The truth is, he
isn't cut out for presiding officer, and he
would be perfectly helpless in the chair. He
knows his weakness, and for that reason is
not disposed to press his claims for the place.
Then, again, he feels he is presidential pos
sibility, and his friends have told him they
would like to hold him back for that. He is
not suffering from a very aggravated case of
presidential itch but he has the malady in a
mild form, and seems to enjoy the sweet pain
He is yet free from the fevered frenzy
which attacks those who have. suf-
fered long, but the poison is in
his blood. He has supported Carlisle
through the tariff debate Loyalty, and the two
are on friendly terms. If the bg-headed
kentuckian lived on the other side of the Ohio
he would be tall presidential timber himself;
but he is out Of the question. His influence,
however, will be thrown for a Western man.
Mcdonald and Morrison both stand on the
Carlisle platform, and il these gen.
tlemen can muster sufficient strength to
defeat tariff legislation and thus make it an
issue in 1884 they will have the game
in their own hands. If the free trade
element in the Democratic party should be
strong enough to control the next National
convention 1t will be strong enough to name a
candidate from the West. Pendleton is dead.
David Davis is Objectionable to the Bourbons.
Hendricks has been tucked in his little grave
years. Thurman is too old to make lively
candidate, and Payne has no earthly show.
This narrows the list down and brings Morri-
son within range of the White house"

Work of a Retiring Representative at the

Staff Correspondence of the Evening Light.
WASHINGTON, February IA few words
about our retiring Representative at the Capital
will not be out of place.
Texas has a fair average of ability in its
Representatives at the National Capital, but
the West is pardonable in feeling extra pride
in its Congressman Judge Epson. For two
terms this gentleman has served our people
with great industry and faithfulness. He can
review his career with satisfaction. No inter-
est has been sighted, no want left unattended
to-. Judge Epson has acted on the principle
that it we're better TO accomplish something
practical and needful than to throw himself
upon the sea of ambition, and attempt
to make for himself national reputation
upon some of the political issues agitating the
country. But Epson has made for himself
some reputation which he can well feel proud
over. In the recent debates on the appropri-
alton bills, particularly that for the army, he
took a bold stand against the demagoguery
that was displayed in Congress, in the shape
of so-called economy, and made speech that

Too Many 'POssums.

From All the Year Round.
When Lafayette paid visit to the United
States he minated his desire to become mas
ter of 'possum, and Baltimore editor gladly
undertook to see that the General had one to
take home with him. Anxious to make the
most of the occasion, he proclaimed his want
in highly-spiced appeal to his countrymen,
urging them to prove that republics were not
always ungrateful. They responded cheer
fully-too cheerfuly-to the appeal. Pos
sums came in from north and south, east and
west, until the overwhelmed journalist found
himself possessed of 2,I99 too many. He
could not afford them separate accommodation,
he dared not lodge them together; so at night,
he turned them all loose in Monument square
to quarter themselves as they listed. Next
day 'possums were here, there. and every
where in Baltimore, TO the delight of the black
and the disgust of the white citizens, who fer
vently wished that Lafayette had never heard
of an opossum, or that the editor bad executed
his commission with more discretion.

and the South and North are understanding
each other better, and now the South was
watching the welfare Of the Union. When
two New York Senators left the United States
Senate not long ago, Virginia felt, perhaps,
another case OF secession was about to take
place, and they examined their swords and
read up tactics.
Virginia is ready to respond now" said
General Lee; sand if New York will raise the
national anthem, the Old Dominion would
take it up, send it along the mountain tops,

Readiuster Malone.

Washington correspondents say that Senator
Malone shows a tendency to readjust his
relations to the Republican party. HIS griev-
ance is that himself and Riddleberger have not
been properly considered and consulted by
the Administration and Republican Senators.
In order to force suitable recognition of their
peculiar merits, it is thought they will so vote

Malone is supposed to want a prominent
place on the Senate Finance committee. 1t is
safe to say that he will make the Republicans
