From the Bangor Wing. Nov. III
PORTLAND. Dec. 10, 1879.
Ny Dear Mr.. Boat<He:
The greatest harm to which the state /. exposed
this year IL not the theft Of the goyernmeut-that
might be corrected in year II is the danger that
the prncipe shall be accepted that there Is in the
State body Of men who. in q purely ministerial
duty, involving the very highest interest of the
people, are beyond the reach OF the law.
The opinion OF Judge Virgin has brought up in
my mind Mr.. Buchanans famous message. The
states, he said, had no constitutional right to
secede, but the government had no power 10 coerce
them.
The Governor and Council, says the Judge, have
no right to keep the returns from the in. ptctiou Of
the people interested in them, but there power
to coerce them. Eut in the former case, the lOysl
people found q very effective and constitutional way
to coeIce the Individuals of . State who would
carry the State out Of tine Union. In the latter,
venture to predict that fh Supreme court. when the
qus stOn, ever, shall come before that body, will
find an equally effective and constitutional way
for preserving the State against individuals, or
any body Of men, who, IN the discharge OF merely
ministe ial functions, shall usurp q power greater
than that Of the people themselves, and shall by
fraud attempt to reverse their action and stifie
their will.
In haste, yours truly.

A Human Curiosity.

A man without hair on any part of his
body, who never had any teeth, who is en-
tirely destitute of the sense of smell, and
whose taste is just fine enough to detect a
piece of limburger cheese from stone,
was exhibited to the physicians of the
Philadelphia County Medical Society at its
last meeting. What is still more astound-
ing about the man, and upsets all the
theories that have been advanced by medi-
cal men, is that the man has no pores in
his skin Heretofore it has been main
tanned that man could not live without
porous skin; but the most careful examina-
ton under the microscope failed to reveal
single pore in the body of the patient
The mans name is Peter Vending.
He was born in Lebanon county, Pa, forty
eight years ago, and is now living in Bis
marck, small village seven miles south of
Lebanon, with wife and eight children
The latter partake of none of their fathers
peculiarities except that not child has a
perfect set of teeth Mr.. Vending ex-
periences great Inconvenience from his in
ability to perspire. The body being de-
prived of this means of cooling becomes in
tensely hot, and it is necessary to pour water
over his clothing to keep the man cool. In
working with heavy tools the man has to
wear gloves to get firm hold. Mr.. Wen
ding is the youngest of twenty-one chill
dren, and with the exception of the pecu-
liarities mentioned, he has good health and
has never been sick

The Cause of Diphtheria.

DIR. Emil Querner, of Philadelphia, who
has made investigations into the cause of
diphtheria, reaches the following conclu-
sionS
CATER laborious and scrutinizing in
vestigation into the cause Of large num-
ber of cases of diphtheria that have come
under my care during several years past, l
have almost arrived at the conclusion that
the primary infection of an individual
comes from the fungi which are found as
spots of different colors on the exterior or
fruits, particularly apples, AS far as the
power of my microscope has shown, these
fungi seem identical with the fungi from a
diphtheric ulcer, and last autumn l traced
a number of cases, at one time FIVE together
in one family, back to the eating of apples
picked from the ground in orchards with
out previously cleaning the fruit by rub
bing or washing. The prevalence of this
dreadful disease in the last three decades
may be well accounted for by the fact that
the appearance and fourishing of lower
animal and vegetable organisms is periodi-
cal, of which we have examples in the po-
tato disease, the disease of the grape vine,
and cholera, which latter has been ascribed
to fungus growing on the ears of rice in
East India and carried in the human body
as a contagiOn."

What is Religion Worth.

In connection with the subject of giving,
Mr.. Spurgeon tells the following anecdote;
A gentleman went around with paper to
raise the minister's salary. He went to
poor man who had attended the church
twice, who put down 910. The gentle
man asked him if he did not mean los.
40 shillings?" said the man, "do you
think that the spiritual benefit and comfort
that man gets from such minister as
ours through year is only worth ten shil-
lingsP / reckon it to be worth great
deal more, but really | cannot afford to give
more" "Well," said the man who was
collecting, to himself, eff this man can af-
ford G10, 1 can afford %" He had never
before given more than ten shillings When
man gives sixpenoe, says Mr.. Spurgeon,
who is laying up thousands of pounds, l
can only consider that he forms a pretty
accurate measure of the value of his relig-
ion. A man who was pulled out of the
river by another, offered him fourpence.
''No, thank you,' said the man, 81 don't
want to take your valuation of what you
are worth"

been out with some neighbors searching for
Weston's body. He had returned to his
home, and was at the stable feeding his
stock just before sundown. He came out
of the stable, and passing around TO the
east end saw John Weston coming up the
path from the creek Weston had on the
blue soldier overcoat which he usually wore.
His hands were tucked up under the cape,
and he approached Cosper with his usual
smile and usual salutation, saying, "How
goes it?'' Cosper said, why, Weston, 1
thought you were frozen to death p Wes-
ton replied: am, and you will find my
body mile and a-half northwest of Her
seyl Saying this he vanished. Mr..
Cosper says that even after Weston was gone
it took him some time to realize that he
had seen ghost and to "feel queer
Before this, Weston had evidently an
nounced his death to his wife. Mrs. Wes-
ton related the incident, and it was con-
frmed by her son. The second night of
the storm she was awakened by knock at
the door. She dozed off again, and was
aroused by second rap, when she asked:
"What is wanted?" A voice answered:
''Did you know that John was frozen to
death?'' The voice sounded like that of
her brother, Mr.. Linderman, who lived in
the vicinity The boy heard the voice, and
rising up in bed, said: "Mother, did uncle
say pa was frozen to death p Mrs. Wes-
ton went to the door, but there was no one
there, and no tracks could be found in the
snow. DIR. Linderman had not been there,
and it seems that Weston, wishing to an
nounce his death, and at the same time not
to frighten his wife too much, assumed the
voice of his brother-in-law
| Now for the confirmation of Cospers
story. He told it at once and it was pub
lished throughout the country before the
winter was over. Search was made for
Weston's body, but in vain. When spring
came, however, and the snow began to
melt off, Weston's body was found near a
slough, where the snow had been deep, a
mile and half northwest of Hersey. We
believe Mr.. Erickson, who now lives in
Worthington, was the first to discover the
body.
So much for the great blizzard. There

THROUGH THE DARK WATERS.
BY JOHN MASON NEALE.

The foe behind, the deep before,
Our hosts have dared and passed the sea
And Pharaoh's warriors strew the shore,
And Israels ransomed tribes are free.
Lift up lift up your voices now
The whole wild world rejoices now
The Lord has triumphed gloriously!
The Lord shall reign VIGOROUSLY!
Happy morrow
Turning sorrow
Into peace and mirth
Bondage ending,
Love descending,
Ger the earth
Souls assuring,
Guards securing,
Watch His earthly prison:
Seals are shattered
Guards are scattered,
Christ hath risen!
No longer must the mourners weep,
Or call departed Christians dead;
For Death is hallowed into sleep,
And every grave becomes bed.
Now once more
Eden's door
Open stands to mortal eyes;
For Christ hath risen, and men shall rise
Now at last
Old things past,
Hope and joy and peace begin;
For Christ has won, and man shall win.
1t is not exile, rest on high;
1t is not sadness, peace from strife;
To fall asleep is not to die;
To dwell with Christ is better life.
Where our banner leads us
We may safely go
Where our Chief precedes us
We may face the foe.
His right arm is Ger us,
lie will guide us through;
Christ hath gone before us;
Christians! follow You
