A Horrible Picture.

The Southern Dental Journal of this
city is having cut engraved of such
an incredible character that it will be
difficult to convince many persons OF
its genuineness. The photograph from
which the cut is to engraved repre-
sents an old man who is sitting for his
portrait, and holding in one hand the
front half of his skull.
When the beholder RECEIVERS from his
first establishment and horror, the con-
viction forces itself upon him that the
party sitting for the picture is looking
with one eye, his only one, in rather
admiring way upon the fragment Of
skull. Beyond the old mans blindness
in one eye he seemed to be all right,
with the exception perhaps of his I'M
usually bald head. After the reporter
had gazed at this monstrosity mo-
ment he ventured to point out the abb
surdity of the picture.
That is just where you are mis-
taken" said gentleman present.
1.-The picture is as natural as life. The
man who sat for it lives near Birming-
ham, Ala. Some time ago, while in an
epileptic fit, he fell into the fire, his
head remaining there about fifteen
minutes. When rescued he was so
badly burned that death was thought
to be inevitable. The physicians did
their best, however, but in the course
of time it was found that half of his
skull, beginning under the eye lost in
the fire and extending over the top, was
loose and about to come off A skill
full dentist sawed all this portion of the
skull away and preserved it as you
see it in the picture. Fortunately a
thick membraneous growth had formed
under the loose skull, and protected
the BRAIN The man is living and
likely TO live for years. That is the
whole case, and if you ever 90 to Birm-
ingham you will see the only man in
the world who is able to fan himself
with half of his skull!'
The da2ed reporter took one more
look at the photograph and hastily

AnnINa TO IRIS INPAMY.

The Sentinel protests again, as it has done
repeatedly, against the policy which has wrung
personal scandals into the presidential cam
paign. 1t first besought and then warned the
Blaine organs to discontinue their unwarranted
and dirty attacks on the Democratic candi-
date. It was in Mr.. Blaines power to have
commanded resistance from that method Of
campaign war.
But the Sentinel especially protests against
being forced by James Ct. Blaine into the atti-
tude which, for its own defense, will compel
it to disclosures which must indirectly affect a
woman, wife and a mother. Only the most
vlrile war on the private character of Grover
Cleveland by Blaine's deputies on the press in,
spired the Sentinel to question concerning his
own inner life.
But only a cowardly adventurer, devoid of
all sense of shame, would thrust the reputa-
ton of a wife into such a breach solely for
political ends. It's James G. Blaine, and not
the Indianapolis Sentinel, who must be con
temned for exposures for which his wife must
also suffer. Sentinel.
The Sentinel adds to its infamy every time
it refers to its hbelous attack upon Mrs. Blaine
over the shoulders of her husband. It
speaka falsely when it declares that Blaine
could have stopped the publication con-
corning Cleveland's immoralities It knows,
as everybody knows, that the disgraceful
truth came out against Mr.. Cleveland through
Democratic papers, and it was not until they
had hawked it all over the country that Re-
publican papers even so much as referred to
the story. The Sentinel, and every Demo-
crat with thimbleful of brains, knows that
Mr.. Blaine could not have stopped these Dem
ocratic papers and the preachers of Buffalo
from telling the truth concerning Cleveland's
life. The Sentineps plea that Mrs. Blaine is
only indirectly implicated would be puerile
were it not infamous Suppose the charge, as
made, could be substantiated, would Mrs.
Blaines virtue be only indirectly involved

been taken to hold it accountable for its libel

from abject cowardice to the most contempt

DEMOCRATS AND THE NAVY.

Secretary Chandler, who the Democrats
hoped had been utterly silenced by Mr.. Hen
dricks's rejoinder, replies to the latter's sneer
at the dilapidated condition of the navy by
showing that it is rotting and disappearing
because of the hostile attitude of the Demo
cratic party. In 1878 Republican Congress
began the construction Of steel-clad monitors,
designed to be fully as formidable as anything
of their class afoat. In 1874 the Democratic
party obtained control of Congress, and from
that time to this have had control Of the mat
ter, with the exception of the period from 1881
to 1883. All that time they refused to-
appropriate money to finish the monitors OF
cast modern high-power artillery or strength
on our coast Notifications, though the rotten
condition Of the navy and the dilapidation Of
our Notifications were urgently represented to
Congress by our highest army and navy
officers and by the President, session after
session. And when the Republicans did gain
control of Congress and set about rebuilding
the navy, the sole opposition to the measure
came from the Democratic party. The Republic
ans appropriated money to finish the monitors
Democrats alone spoke and voted against the
appropriation. The Republicans appropriated
money to construct the steel cruisers. Only
Democrats were found fighting the appropri-
alton And when the present Democratic
House of Representatives came face to face
with the necessity for furnishing money to
finish these vessels and provide their arma-
ment, it was only Democrats that could be
found basely and meanly unpatriotic enough
70 refuse to buy the cannon necessary to rem
der the steel cruisers effective as vessels Of
war. These facts are so well understood that
the attempt Of the Democratic party to make
capital out Of the condition Of the navy will
prove a boomerang
