the attack coming on, and had put the
money in seme out-of-the-way place.

any real evidence, always a hateful

whenever you come upon some detail
that seems utterly inexplicable, that is
the thing which Of all others must be ex-
planned; and you feel, moreover, that in
solving the difficulty you will come near
er in some unknoWn way to your point.
We took all night to think the matter
over. Then my partner said, How
about the cellar? That's where the house
hold metal u.s." They all laughed. He
hasn't been there in year. they said
We went down. My partner glanced
quickly around, and then gave me a
look that I caa almost feel running
through my nerves to this day. BE had
discovered some common household arti-
cles which had not been used since the
family had been searching the fireplace 8.
He was, in fact, looking for lot of coal
hods. There is our metallic edge,' he
said. He turned the hods over care
fully, and from out mass of waste
paper there rolled at last the $32, 900
worth of bonds. The paralytic had fallen
over the hod, and the money had
dropped into it among his waste
papers. Before the general search was
made, all rubbish was taken to the
cellar. Our friends had sought too deep

concealed money, and had grossly neg
lected the science of the obvious. Some
detectives do precisely the same thing.

Dr.. Mccormick and Bishop Athenry are

ject of their visit is to raise funds for the
promotion OF the migration scheme in Ire
land. Two companies have been formed
in Ireland. and are already organizing
system of migration which they hope will
lead to great diminution of the prevailing
distress in the crowded districts, and BY a
more equal distribution tend to develope
waste lands, and promote agricultural pir-
suits where that industry has practically
become paralyzed. They propose to render
such peCuniary assistance as is necessary to
stimulate production, making such terms
as are reasonably within the mems of the
tenant. Emigration has been so unrelent-
ingly condemned by Mr.. Parnell and his
followers as to make the very word hate
Jul. Migration Is now che, cry, and its re-
snlts are looked forward to with great
hopefulness by its philanthropic pro-
moters.

REMARKABLE CAsE.-Simon Ladcnski,
Roumanianby birth, American by adoption
and Alissourian by choice of residence,
seems TO have been endowed BY his nature
with more than the ordinary powers Of
physical endurance, for, after having had
his throat cut by band of robbers in Rou-
MANIA he was hanged to tree, stabbed in
the abdomen, left hanging for hours-and
still lives.
Ladcn&ki is about % years old Two
days after he had been set upon by the rob-
hers he Was found and ultimately brought
TO Vienna where doctor had him under
treatment. and by means of his larynx dila-
tor enabled him to breathe and get a new
lease of life. When Ladenski came to this
country he had letters Of introduction to
physicians in New York and Phiedelphia,
and by them he has lately been sent to ply
sicians in Baltimore. After Ladenski's NAL
treatment his windpipe was completely
closed, and for long time he was unable
to speak q word. He breathed through the
opening in the throat which had been
made by the robbers knife, and which
strange to say, saved his life while he
was hanging on the tree, for while the
air was entering the lungs through that
opening he could not choke to death.
In the opening in the throat is inserted a
tube, the lower part of which enters the
windpiire and the upper end has two Aanges
extending sideways from the central open
ing. which admits the air. These nangeS
lie close against the outer portion of the
| throat and hold the tube securely in place.
| The upper half of the tube has Il slide, and
into this is fitted in an upright position the
larynx dilator. This is what might be call.
ed an ohlong slug. having at each end lit
tie ring. In the lower ring, which passes
through the slide, a catch is fitted and to the
upper ring is fastened string, which is
drawn upward, BY means of a kind of cath.
eter, through the mouthand secured around
the ear, thus holding the diat)r upright
ard steady. The dilator is gradually in
creased in size. the largest being about the
natural size OF the CLOTHS, aud as soon as
this latter organ shall have been dilated tc
lis original proportions it is believed that
some means can be devised TO withdraw
the entire apparatus from the larnyx and
heal up the opening in the throat.
