The Illinois Legislature was so closely
balanced politically that one man con-
trolled it, and consequently there was a
dead lock, as he would not take sides with
either party. He was reported to be half
and-half, as between the two parties, and
rs the Democratic half Of him was always
drunk, the Republican half was neutral
lied. Finally the association caused the Re-
publican half, through sympathy, to share
in the condition Of the other half, and the
the whole then became blank, breaking
the deadlock by sheer inability to utilize

A Good Platform.

Our old friend and former countyman,
Col. James Cochran, is a candidate for
Commonwealth Attorney in Culpeper
county. He announces novel platform
in the following terms 81 hereby an
nounce myself a candidate for Common
wealth's Attorney, and will say that i'll the
canvas will not use money, whisky, or
other corruptiug influences. I will not
violate law which, if elected, will be
sworn to enforce. If, under the circum-
stances should be elected, by free and
unbiased expression Of the wishes of the
people, will esteem 1t q great compli-
ment. II cannot be elected without the
use Of such means, ! prefer defeat and will
take that as compliment.
This is good platform, and all who
know Col. Cochran know that he means
precisely what he says. Not only is the
platform good, but the candidate is well
qualified for the position he seeks. He is
honest and capable and would be faithful
to the duties Of the Office if elected. OF
course we have no thought OF interfering
in the matters Of our sister county Of Gull
pepper. The people there are capable of
attending to their own affairs, but noticing
the platform in the comfy papers, and
having known the candidate for many
years, We could not we'll refrain from
kindly word for an old friend.

The horror of the day is the develop

General Butler is progressing with Il
searching investigation, exposing a con-
dition of things shocking to humanity.
Evidence was read by the Governor
that there were no suitable instruments
for surgery except a rat-tail file and
corkscrew. A former.inmate testified that
he would rather fill his pockets with
stones and jump overheard than to go to
Tewksbury for twelve months. A man got
choked at the table, but no assistance was
rendered for several hours, when they put
him in box and carried him out Crime
of almost every description is exposed
theft, fraud, righteousness, and vice of all
descriptions. The Governor seems de-
termined to get at the bottom of it.

Frightful Cyclone.


A special dispatch from Wesson, Miss,
dated the 23d, to the New Orleans Picapue
gives graphic account of frightful cy-
clone which passed over that section. 1t
says "A cyclone struck Bealregard and
this place last evening. Beauregard is
totally wrecked and many persons We're
killed and wounded. The depot was blown
across the track. Twenty five houses were
blown down here, killing - persons and
wolnding good many.
The Times Democrat special says that Il
frlghtful cyclone passed over WesSon and
the town of Beauregard, Il mile above,
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
wind for the past three days had been
blowing q gale and lowering clouds midi
Gated storm. Its approach was known
for some minutes by the deep rumbing
sounds, windows in dwellings shaking with
violence and many people thought it was
an earthquake. Thunder roared and light
ming flashed with alarming force and vivid
ness. Fences were torn down, trees which
had stood storms for years were uprooted
and cast hundred yards away East of
the railway in Wesson the damage was
light, but in Wesson u portion of the town
is III destruction. twas awful in it's char
acter. AS soon as the storm had some
what abated and the people began to look
about, loud peals Of church bells were
rung out. People were seen running
toward West WesSon. The rain mean
time was pouring in torrents. Reaching
Peach Orchard street an understandable
scene was witnessed. The street is lined
with large number of houses, in which
the operatives of the Mississippi Mills are
domiciled and here the greatest destruction
occurred. People were seen ON all sides
sobbing, and the groanS of the wounded
beneath the ruins perfectly appalling.
Dwellings were torn to atoms. The Pene
forest just beyond, was blown out OF eX-
istence. The work of removing the dead
and extricating the wounded from the
ruins has begun. Calvin Reed, living in
the vicinity, died from excitement. Doc
tors were soon upon the scene and did all
in their power to relieve the suffering OF
the wounded. 1t is estimated that the
number of killed is II. Two or three
children are missing. One hundred and
fifty, OF two hundred dwellings are blown
down. The number of people with broken
limbs is estimated by the physicians at
seventy-five. Several dead lay out in the
violent rain for more than an hour after
the storm. Many of the wounded, it is
feared, will die. At Beauregard, the de-
struction to life and property is indie
scribable. A little boy was found in the
woods several hundred yards away unhurt.
Wesson, except in the locality mentioned,
suffered little, except ageneral destruction
of fences and trees. The scene is abso-
lutely appalling. Beauregard is no more.
1t is in truth a mass of ruins. 1t is with
difficulty that one can ride through, so
thickly are the trees strewn across the road.
There is not a house of amy character
standing in the place. Two brick stores,
the largest in the place, are swept away.
Timber is scattered for miles around.

PRGGSEss OF DEAFNESS.

Deafness varies in degree from the on'apprecia-
ton of faint and low sounds to the total loss of
hearing. During the inciplent stages OF deafness
the patient usually hears well enough when listening
or while paying close attention, but is quite hard Of
hearing when not expecting to be addressed. Under
these circumstances the person SO afflicted often
appears needless and nattentive until the impaired
condition of the hearing power becomes more
noticeable and explains the difficulty. AS the com
plant progresses, we find that the patient expert.
ences more and more difficulty to hear readily, even
while paying close attention, when two or more are
talking or when the conversation is carried in
low tone of voice. especially if the articulation OF
those with whom they converse is not sufficiently
distinct In such cases, they hear the sound of the
voice, but fail to catch the words, and hence they
continually complain OF persons talking way down
the throat" In this almost imperceptibIy slow and
gradual manner hearing becomes more and more
clouded and nistinct, until it is entirely lost or
very seriously impaired.
During the incipient stages of deafness, delusive
feeling of c sure or obstruction is often experienced
in the ears, which the patient endeavors to remove
by shaking the head, digging into the ears with ear
spoons and other dangerous contrivances, or by a
persistent course CT Swinging, proceeding often
attended by most injurious results

A FEW WORDS OF ADVICE.

Those who value their hearing should seek com
petent medical advice upon the slightest suspicion
Of diseased condition of the ear or the least defect
in hearing To do otherwise is to jeopardize one Of
the most valuable Of our senses.
Many persons neglect the diseased state of their
ears in the hope that the difficulty may get well of
itself or would be outgrown. No hope has ever
proved more fallacious. It is the experience OF all
aursts of repute that diseases Of the ear ere not
benefited by nature or time, but that, on the con
trary they become more and more developed
aad confirmed, and more destructive to hearing
We cannot, therefore, too strongly condemn the
practice of those physicians who, through ignorance
or carelessness, endaavor to inspire confidence in
the healing process OF nature, by advising patients
to let disease of the ear alone In our experience
We have had repeated demonstrations Of the fact
that such advice is nothing short OF malpractice,
and deserving of the severest oensure; for dis
eases of the ear are not only destructive to
hearing, they also form center for the develop
ment of variety OF morbid states of other i'm
portant organs, more especially the brain and
Gus system. A late number of the Philadelphia
Medical and Surgical Reporter, one of the best
medical journals OF the country, echoes the opinion
of the best informed aural surgeons of the day by
stating that it is groBingy recognized fact, that
such serious diseases as pyemia, abzoess in the
brain, some obscure forms of so.csIed rheumatic
fever and many Others-for the most part rapidly
fatal disorders-deriye their starting point in the
ear"
In their earlier stages, diseases Of the ear yield
readily to skillful medical attendance, and even in
cases OF long standing, ard where the hearing is
seriously impaired, an entire cure can often be
effected by appropriate means. Desirable results,
however, can only be expected from the attendance
of physician who has made himself familiar with
the subject by special study, and who has acquired
sufficient practical experience to gain mastery over
aural diseases. Medical science cannot be held re
sponsbe for the frequent failures or possible injury
resulting from treatment when administered by in-
competent or inexperienced hands.
In conclusion let me say that every case Of deaf
ness no matter how uniavorable it may appear,
should at least be submitted to thorough exam
inatios, and sometimes to treatment for reason.
able length Of time before hope is abandoned.
Many cases in which hearing cannot be fully
restored, can be materially benefited, and in some
even the arrest Of the ever increasing loss Of hearing
proves an inestimable blessing No case of deafness
should be abandoned as utterly hopeless unless SO
pronounced by an au5is: Of acknowledged skill and
ability.

NOISES IN TEE HEAD.

Noises in the head are sometimes the first and
only indication of morbid condition Of the ear
They may resemble the escape of steam the ringing
of bells, the beating of the heart, the humung Of
insects the rafting of machinery, the roar of the
SURF the singing of the teakete, and in fact every
imaginable sound. Often two distinct noises are
perceived simultaneously, or one noise continues
While the other appears at intervals There is often
throbbing beating pumping sound, with or
after unusual exercise or excitement or after meals
Noises in the head impair the functions Of the BRAIN
and exercise most depressing mental and moral
influence upon the patient, sufficiently as TO lead
sometimes to suicide The mental distress and tort
ure which they occasion often SO great that
many patient is far more anxious to have the
noises removed than the hearing restored. Il only
one thug or the other could be accomplished
