Death from Emotion.

From America, says the London
LdRcet, comes the record of a very in
structive case in which a man died
from fright, and where the death mar
rowly escaped being attributed to
ether. The patient had received a Sc
we're injury to his hip during some
blasting operations. Some days after
the injury a consultation was held in
the Wilkesbarre Hospital, and it was
considered necessary to administer
ether The man objected to this and
urged that his heart was weak but it
was considered necessary to anasthe-
tise him. This decision seemed to af-
feet the man strongly; he breathed
with great difficulty, asked for the win
dows to be opened, and died in a few
minutes No ether or other anasthet-
ic had been administered, and he had
not suffered any pain from the partial
examination Of the hip that had been
made No particulars Of the actual
state Of the heart are given, but we
are told that a 'murmur" was present
There is no difficulty, however, in trac-
ing the death to a powerful inhibitory
influence upon weak heart. Had the
surgeons begun to administer ether
this death would have been wrongfully
attributed t. the effects Of the auas-
thetic

The Outer and the Inner Life.


"That within which passeth show."--HANLE
There is a song within the Tyre
That never yet was sung;
Unborn it lies upon each wire
That loosely hangs unstrung,
Until the minstrels hand shall strain
The slackened cords in tune again,
The bnrd's creative spirit give
That song vocal soul to live.
There is form that marble holds
Beneath its surface rude.
Deep in the unhewn heart it folds
Beauty no eye has viewed,
Until the sculptor's hand shall scale
Each layer of that stony veil,
Until at last shall stand displayed
The perfect form OF loveliest maid.
lhere is poem never told
Within the poets soul,
Like tabled streams DER beds of gold
Beneath the earth that roll,
Until some spell resistless wake
The soul in rhythmic song to break,
As bursts the stream into the light,
Bubbling with golden glory bright.
There is a love-nor tongue nor lips
Fer told its deep desire;
Burning the heart, it silence keeps
Like subteranean fire,
Until some mighty passion-gust
Breaks through the outward icy crust,
And burning lava-worGs reveal
That love the heart would iain conceal.
The songs unsung unhewn the stone,
The poems rhyme untold,
The hidden fire Of love unshown
Beneath the surface cold.
lis better thus: the secret kept
The wound unseen, the woe unwept
The outer lite's deceitlul show,
The inner lite that none may know.

Torpedo Warfare.

Torpedo attack in warfare is receiv-

English authorities are viewing the
subject in almost every possible light.
Altogether, it seems that the attack

fense in this case, for, after summing
up all the known methods of resisting
torpedo boat attacks, there seems to
be comparatively little comfort to be
gained. Torpedo ncttings, the use of
torpedoes from the ship which is at

Of large artillery are all considered,
and in each case the verdict has been

TONERS, and no certain way has so far
been suggested by which their attacks
may be diverted. 1t is all the more
unsatisfactory because the small tor

missiles at a speed considerably great

now adoat, many of them being able
to keep a speed Of twenty miles an

WHO WAS ssNUMBER ONE p,

Denial of the RumOr Charging Gen. Nc
Adams With Being the Mysterious Chief
of the Phoenix Park Murderers-A st.
Louis Brother-in-law Gives HIS Wherea-
bouts for Several Years.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.-Michael A. Doyle
brother of the wife of Gen. McAdams, who
is suspected of being the "Number one of
the Irish Invincibles and concerned in th
Phoenix park murder, in an interview to-
day, denied generally and specifically that
the general could have been connected
with the events mentioned. He said that
to his knowledge McAdams had not been
connected with any Irish event since
the Fenian movement and fasco in 1866.
He is in constant correspondence
with the general, and if the latter had
been engaged in any revolutionary or other
political schemes, he would have known it.
He says McAdams is an invalid, almost
constantly travelling, with his wife and ser
wants, and there Is no secrecy in his move
ments, and if English authorities wish to
find him they can obtain his address from
the Bank of England. He says he met
McAdams in Dublin last August, where he
and his family were stopping in the most
open manner at the Sheltown hotel, the
most prominent hotel in London. Speak
ing of the Phoenix park tragedy at the
time = and it was the subject
of general comment = McAdams con-
demned the crime in unmeasured terms,
remarking that such things could bring no
good to Ireland. Doyle says that he knows
positively that McAdams was in Egypt
during the whole time of the conspiracy
revolution and while the plottings against
Forster were going on. He was at Grasse,
a mountain resort IN France forty or fifty
miles from Nice when the Phoenix park
assassination occurred. He had previously |
been at another resort. He had not been |
in Ireland from late in 1874 till August |
1882. Doyle scouts the idea that his |
sister could, under any circumstances, be
connected with such crime as the Phoenix |
park murder, or with any crime, for that
matter, and he thoroughly believed Nc
Adams to be too true and good man, and
altogether too noble-minded to be in any
way concerned in such an affair. Doyle |

The Difficulties Of Cremationists.

A few years ago the Babus of CAL
cutta, hearing about a new cremation
apparatus invented in America, called a
''public meeting" where the members
expatiated on the virtues of the new
machine, and subscribed for it on the
spot. The order was sent, and in due
time came the much coveted apparatus.
The Babus received it with due honors,
and placed it in one of the principal
burning ghauts. After all the prescribed
sanskars they brought the dead body to
the machine. But here, for the first
time, they became conscious of a slight
ditficulty-they did not know how to
use it! They consulted machinists and
sanitary doctors, who pronounced the
apparatus perfectly useless for the Gre
nation of a Hindu body with the cere-
monies enjoined by the Shastras. Great
was the disappointment of the reform
ers. But they called another meeting.

ers, ''the best plan would be to burn

The RObber and the Editor.

"Listen, my children" said a venera-
BILE man, ''and l will tell you story,
beautiful and true. Once upon a time
there was bad, bold robber, who had
his haunt in the wilds of a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, lin the valley,
was q village. 1t was not a very large
village, yet in it q newspaper was
printed. The robber looked upon the
editor of the newspaper as beng the
chief man of the village, and thought he
must be very rich. So one dark night
he came down from his den in the
mountain and stole into the dwelling of
the editor and then into the room where
he slept. The editor, being good man,
slept as soundly and sweetly as a child.
The robber searched all the place, but
could not find the, caskets of gold and
diamonds he had supposed to be stored
I'D in the room. He then put his hands
in all the pockets of the clothes of
the editor, but found no money in any
of them. The robber then stood for q
time as in a stupor. He was like one
awakened from dream. He listened
for some moments to the deep, regular
breathing of the sleeping editor, and as
he stood so he began-to feel sad. The
heart of the bold, bad man was
touched. Quietly he took from his purse
S4.75, placed the money in the panta-
looms pocket of the editor, and softly.
stole from the house In the morning,
when the editor got up and put on his
pantaloons there was a jingle as of
money. A look of astonishment came
into the face of the editor. He put his
hand into his pocket and drew out the
money. When he saw this great wealth
the knees of the editor smote together;
he turned pale, tainted, and fell to the
floor, and there lay as one who is dead"
"Ohr oh! grandfather, did they catch
the bad robberm man and hang him on a
tree?' u. -...--
-"No, my ,dears, they did not catch the
bad, bold robber. He is still living.
From that day he reformed, and got
place as cashier in big bank, where

aAnd the. poor editor man, grand
father! What became of him?"
"Ah, yes my darlings! l had almost
forgotten him. Well, when he came
out of his faint, and his eyes again saw
all the money lying about the room
where it had fallen, he was sorely per-
picked. At last he felt sure it had been
quietly placed in his pocket in the night
by agreat and rich neighbor, who owned
a lanyard, and was running for the Leg
islature. So for days and days he printed
in his paper whole columns of praise of
the rich neighbor, who was elected to
the office, and ever after the two men
were the greatest friends. Thus, my
dears, do good actions always meet with
their reward. '-Vlrgiaia city Enter
