Fanny Davenport at one time was the most
profitable star N the country. She was
worked up TO a degree Of popularity by
Days shrewd management, her own beauty
and talent unqestionably aiding very largely
in that desired result. She received from
$3.50 10 $500 n night for a long time. Then
she married and bought a play, and last sea

Her father was off and On in success. In
the latter years Of his life he preferred a
salary. Jarret 4 Palmer paid him 5000 a

and although he left some property-a farm.

and hadn't the money-making faculty.
Lolita is very rich. For many years she
shared after Expenses, allowing $50. For

with Mr.. Abbey and her h~elpfulness toward

Mr.. CieVeiand's Speech.

Philadelphia Times, July 80.
Bir. GeveIand's speech to the COM
nlitteo that came to notify him of his
nomination has the merit Of broyity and
sobriety. 1t is modest little speech, but
its modesty is that of a man Of firm con
victions and earnest seIf-reiiance, who
has confidence in his party doctrines be
cause he believes them to be true and,
who looks ON public Office as sn-
cred trust to be administered for the
general good.
Brief as it is, this speech really en-
bodies the central issue of the campaign
that establishment of an honest,
pure and equal administration of the
laws in the place of corrupt and cor
rupting partisan tyranny. Had he spoken
for half an hour Mr.. Cleveland could not
more forcibly have. expressed that sim
pie and single idea of well-ordered popu-
lar government which his nomination
personiiied, and the earnest and serious
tone in which he speaks, even more than
the words themselves, will strengthen
the general confidence already won by
his official conduct
Custom has prescribed this ceremoni-
GUS speech-making and has further pre-
scribed Il formal letter of acceptance in
which the candidate is expected specifi-
caIly to set forth his opinions and pur-
poses, In this letter Mr.. Cleveland will
doubtless more explicitly define the dem.
ocratic doctrine to which he adheres and
will have something to say upon many
matters of Importance. But yesterdays
speech gives promise that he win not
overlook or evade the one central pur
pose that gives force to this campaign
and if his letter accord with the speecf
in its brevity and dignity and its evi
dence of well-grasped faith in popular
government, it will leave no room t.
misconceive the issue between CLEVELAND
and Blaine.

ATTITUDES AFTER DEATH.
Three Extraordinary Instances OF
Death III Battle.


One of the most striking examples of
the strange fact that | am about to study
says DIR. Brown Sequard in La Nature,
was observed by DR.. Rossbach, of Wurt-
bourg, upon the battlefield Of Beaumont,
near Sedan, in 1870. He found the corpse
G soldier half-sitting, half-reclining
upon the ground, and delicately holding
tin cup between his thumb and forefn
ger, and directing it toward a mouth
that was wanting. The poor man had,
while in this position, been killed by a
cannon ball that took off his head and
all of his face except the lower jaw. The
body and arms at the instant of death
had suddenly taken on a rigidity that
caused them afterward to remain in the
position in which they were when the
head was removed. Twenty-four hours
had elapsed since the battle when DIR.
Rossbach found the body in that state.
A detachment of United States sol
diers, foraging around Goldsboro n. c.,
came suddenly upon a small band OF
These latter Immediately jumped into
their saddles, and all scampered away
except one, after being exposed to one
round of fire. The soldier who did not
escape was sitting upright, one foot in
his stirrup. In his left hand he held the
bride and the horses name, while his
right hand grasped the barrel of his rifle,
near the muzZle, the stock of the gun
resting on the ground. The horseman's
head was turned toward his right shout
der, apparently watching the approach
of the assailing party. Some of the sol
diers of the latter were preparing to fire
again, when their officer ordered them to
desist, and to go and make the defiant
man a prisoner. The latter, upon being
ordered to surrender, made no answer.
When he was approached and examined,
it was found that he was dead and rigid
in the singular attitude that we have Just
described. 1t took considerable of an eff
fort to force his left hand to release the
horses name and to remove the rifle from
MS flglJ manu-. w men Ill6 DOuy was laltl
upon the ground, the limbs preserved the
same position and the same infexibility.
This man had been struck by two balls
fired from Springfield rifles. One of them
had entered the right of the vertebral
column and had made its exit from the
body near the region of the heart. 1t had
left its track upon the side of the saddle,
and had then dropped to the ground.
The horse had remained quiet, as he was
fastened by halter.
The following is another incident; AT
the battle of Williamsburg, DR.. T. B.
Reed examined the body of a United
States zouave who had received a ball in
the forehead just as he was climbing
over low fence. He, likewise, had pre-
served the last attitude of his life. One
of his legs was half over the fence, while
his body still remained behind. One
hand, which was partially closed, was
raised level wish his forehead, with the
palm forward as if to preserve himself
against some imminent danger.

Supreme Court Decisions.


We call the attention of our readers
especially those of the legal fraternity.
to the very admirable abstracts of the
decisions of the Supreme Court prepar-
ed for TIE CLARION by Mr.. H. II.
PARKER, member of the jackson bar.
These abstracts, as we have occasion to
know, are the result of faithful and
painstaking labor performed by gen.
tleman fully competent to the task, and
are presented to our readers in a form
which, as we think, is the best that
could be desired. What the practition-
ers want, is not so much the full text of
the opinions of the court, as sharp
statement of the points decided, arrang-
ed with a view to ready reference, and
prefaced with an appropriate syllabus.
This is the plan of Mr.. PARKER's reports,
and we feel sure that it viii be appreci-
ated by the bar.
