Resuscitated On the Dissecting Table

neSuScsjAbtu On the DlssecIlu2 laDle.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 1O.-The story
comes from Egremont, Berkshire hills,
which, stated by the people Whereabouts, is
that Estelle Newman, about thirty years old,
died in Egremont in 1878, and after the
funeral services in a little Methodist church,
was buried in the town cemetery and for
gotten. A sensation comes from the dying
testimony of II. Worth Wright, of Con-
necticut, who is said 10 have confessed 10 bis
brother that be, student in the Albany
Medical college, was present at the funeral
with other students, aud lay In wait near
the cemetery Till the burial was over and the
graveyard deserted. TneD he helped 20 dis
inter the body and carry II 10 a hack to the
medical college. They at once went 10 work
on It in the dissecting room. While ON the
table, the body showed signs of life, aud was
resuscitated. Finding the woman alive on
their hands the authorities OF the college had
her taken TO the insane asylum OF Schoharie
county, n. Y. This is the last Wright is said
to have known OF her whereabouts TIE
woman's grave will probably be opened to
see what the story amounts to.
LATER.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. IA reporter
Of the RepaJtican visited Egremont and
CLEANED new particulars Of the grave robbing
mystery The case is farther than ever from
solution and the story grows more sensa-
tiOnal and more improbable. Judge Rywley,
selectman Of Egremont, and executor Of
Miss Estelle Newman's estate OF s., 600, said
he first heard the story purporting to be a
confession Of the dying II. Worth Wright n
few days ago. Wright was home on
vacation when Miss Newman died,
and with two or three other students
be took the body OF Miss Newman to West
Stock bridge In a sack, aud conveyed IL TO
Albany on the night train. The students
prepared to disseet the body, when there
were signs Of life, and they succeeded in re-
storing her. She was insane. After a cot
sultation Miss Newman was taken TO Belle
vue hospital, New York, where she remained
awhile aud subsequently, was taken 10 the
residence of an uncle Of one OF the students
in Schoharir county, New York, where she re-
gained her reason about two years ago. Wheu
Ii. Worth Wright died In Connecticut she read
about it and said she knew Wright, and from
that time on her memory came back aud
she was fully restored 10 health and suisse
quently married a young physician, the
! nephew of the man in whose care she had
been since leaving the hospital. He further
added the couple were now living in New
York state aud were preparing &c visit Miss
Newman's friends in Berkshire county.

| was only able to hear Of four cases of
white persons dying of leprosy. The reason
is apparent enough, for such are the horrors
of the disease that no person once assured
Of being its victim would care to live. Not
only is bis life a burden to himself, but q
source Of continual danger to everyone who
comes about him. There was one man.
however, who chose to live it out, whose
history became we'll known in the United
States and England under the title Of the
Salem leper. He was a theatrical agent
and SPECTATOR, and was engaged in many
dramatic enterprises in Australia Is or 20
years ago. In course Of time he became
the manager Of the little theatre in Honoll-
In, and there he was attacked with the
leprosy. He escaped in a vessel sailing to
San Francisco, but not being allowed to
land made his way to the British colonies,
and finally to England. There his condi-
ton being suspected, he was fam to escape
to America, where he moved from place to
place, reduced to the lowest condition of

was received into the poor-louse. From
thence he wrote letters to en- old friend in

the school system of the several States should

to build up school system of its own, but that
all national appropriations for school purposes
should be placed under the control of the States

this will increase its number of illterates dis

If lO, 600 honest, hard working negroes in the
South were invited and assisted to locate per
manently among the farmers of Indiana, where
they could be sure of steady work at good wages

Ohio, 10000 in Illinois, 20, 900 in New York, s.,

handsome Republican majority. 1t would break
the solid South, and make several of those
States reliably Republican also Let ten or
the States mentioned each agree to employ one
good hard working colored man, and then send
an agent South to select the men. 1t will be an
easy matter to get them. There are thousands
of negroes in every Southern State who would
be glad of the chance. They will work hard,
and will make good citizens. Try them. We
hope the press will take up this subject and dis

Trial by Petition.


Kokomo Gazette Tribune.
The Indianapolis Journal is on the right track
in condemning the action of Governor Porter
who committed the death sentence of Kerner,
the wife murderer, to Imprisonment for life in
the Northern prison. Kerner's crime was
terrible one, that of killing his wife when she
was asleep. His tt. I was had at time when
there was no undue excitement, and the rulings
of the court were without a flaw, as was shown
when the Supreme Court refused to grant re-
hearing of the case. The action of Governor Por-
ter is, therefore, inexplicable The courts of the
country condemned more or less for lax
administration of justice, but the courts are not
to blame. 1t is the people themselves and their
executives who lack the moral courage to resist
the appeal for clemency Trial by jury if not
already farce, will soon become so if trial by
petition is continued.

Concerning Mr.. Hendricks.

columbus hepuDIlcan.
The fact is, he is a selfish, old-blooded,
scheming demagogue, and always has been. He
never was real leader in anything and was
always too cowardly to define his position boldly
on any question until he found what his party
wanted. His relation to every public question
has, at first, been what Morton described it to
be in relation to the reasonable secret societies
that fourished during the war-"Just close
enough to reap the benefits if they succeeded
and far enough away to not be responsible if
they failed" He was the heaviest load that his
party in his own State had to carry at the late
election. The old wheel-horses of the party had
grown tired of trying for twenty-five years to
make great man of him and of having him pop
up on every occasion to claim all the honors of
the party, and to the soldier element he was the
bitteresU dose they ever had to swallow, and the
vote shows that instead of carrying his State
for his party he was literally dragged through
by the rest of the ticket

He Can Go A-Fishing.

Vice-president Hendricks is being heartily
laughed at for the innocent manner in which he
went on to New York to take charge of the or
ganization of the next administration. Not until
MIR. Cleveland gave him to understand he pro-
posed to manage that business himself and to
suit himself did Mr. T. Hendricks begin to feel
how insignificant would be his position for the
next four years. The Vice president is never
regarded as more than a figure-head for the Sem
ate. His political influence is absolutely moth
ing, and the best thing he can do with himself
when not presiding in the Senate is to do as
Wheeler did-go a-fshing. Dan Voorhees, will
have ten times as much influence with the next
administration as Mr. Hendricks will, because
Dan can sometimes vote in way to benefit the
President, while the Vice-president will remain
a cipher during the whole term of his Office.

The Contest for Human Rights.
Greeucastlo Banner.


Greeucastle Banner.
The Republican party came into existence as
an organized effort to establish the rights of
man IN accordance with the Declaration Of indie
pendence that all men are born free and equal,
with certain alienable rights, among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 1t
was upon this basis that it prosecuted the war
for the preservation of the Union that it
abolished slavery; that it reconstructed the
South by restoring the political rights of the
late rebels; that it gave the late
slaves the ballot, and made them
citizens equal before the law with the whites.
But there it stopped. It's helpless and ignorant
wards in the South have been left to take care of
themselves, and it has permitted a despotism to
be established there so intolerant and so strong
that 1T permits division of public opinion, and
which under unwritten law, has become con-
soidated as the solid South to an extent co equal
to that under the Constitution of the Southern
Confederacy, so that now, before the war,
though not to the same extent, the American flag
does not mean entire freedom, and the contest
for human rights still goes on.

Work for Negro Farm Hands.



The Republican party was friend to the
slave when he was fleeing from the bull whip
and blood hound. The colored man now in the
South is fleeing from the red-coats and shot
guns, and he will find the same party, whether
in or out of power, ready to assist him if he
shows disposition to assist himself. Several
Delaware county farmers have been unable to
get farm hands, and one of them said to us a few
days since that he could provide for four men
with their families on his farms, and would give
them steady work.
