A Remarkable Case.
(Roohestsr Union.l

kA><ouS1sVs cAhSs'I
In . village in county adjoining
Monroe resides gentleman about forty
FIVE years Of ags--a skilled physician
and surgeon, although not now in prac.
tice, and . prominent and Influential
citizen, who is in the remarkable physi-
illogical condition Of having bat twenty.
six pulsations of the heart per min
ute, and yet is able to attend to ordi-
nary duties and business, and frequently
il in this city. In healthy male person
of mature years the contractions Of the
heart are from sixty to eighty per min.
ute. probably averaging sixty five. In
the late war the gentleman referred to
was a surgeon, and at the conclusion of
his service returned to his native town
and entered upon the practice of his pro-
fession, but was soon obliged to give it
up OH account Of ill-health. While in
the army he contracted . diarrhea,
which became chronic and was afflicted
somewhat with dyspepsia. 1t was then
discovered that the number of the pull.
sations of his heart were steadily de-
creasing,. and in the spring Of 1882
numbered but thirty-eight per min-
ute, and have since diminished until
they now number but twenty-six. There
is but one instance recorded where the
cOntractions Of the heart per minute
were limited to the number last named
and the patient survived. Yet 50 far as
outward Appearances indicate, there are
many years Of life yet for the gentleman
whose heart throbs only once when or
dinarily it should beat nearly three
times. AS q consequence Of deficient
circulation his hands and feet are uni.
formly cold. He 10 subject to faint
spells, which can sometimes be
averted, but II not, he falls
suddenly, and when he strikes
the floor or ground consciousness returns
instantaneously. 1t would almost seem
that at such times the action Of the heart
ceased, and by the conclusion its con-
fractions were renewed as, by violent
whose motion was suspended, will be set
going. The doctor avoids carefully ell
excitement and business requiring any
mental strain or exertion. He walks
with moderation and is careful in
lying down, not to over-exert. DR..
Moore, Sr., the late DR.. Whitebeck, Of
this city. and other eminent physicians,
have made thorough diagnoses Of this
case, but were unable to suggest any
treatment or medicine which tended to
stop the gradual diminution Of the pulls
alton. This certainly is . case which is
worthy of attention Of physicians and
surgeons. The belief of the doctor is
that dyspepsia has 80 enlarged his stom-
ach that the heart is being crowded out
Of its natural position, and hence rednc-
ing the power Of healthy and ordinary
contraction. He intends soon to have
an examination Of his case by Drs. Ham.
ilton and Chase, OF New York City.

Important Discovery.

A correspondent Of the Alameda En-
cinal makes the following mention of ar
important discovery recently made in
Kern county, that viii add materially tc
the resources Of that section aud the
country at large, II all that is said re.
gsrding it be true:
"An artist, while recently in the
mountains near Tehaehepi pass, sketched
q very bold and prominent white cliff,
and, desiring nearer view, made
the ascent. Upon closer exaInina-
tion, he recognized the simIlari-
ty Of the stone to the character
Of that used in lithography, Of which he
had somt experience. After trying it
with his knife he became convinced that
it was identical with it, and he secured
specimens which he took to San Fran
cisco and thoroughly tested. In hard
mesa color and iineness he found il the
genuine article He has since
located the land. and had the stone
tested by the most competent
men on the cosst. IL is pronounced
equal to that from the famous quar-
ries Of Bavaria. The Bavarian averages
from seven to sixty cents per pound, ac-
cording to the size OF the stone, and the
annual revenue derived from its sale is
placed at $4,000, 600. The consump-
tion Of the United States during the
year 1880, amounted to about thirteen
tons per day, which, at cost of seven
cents per pound, would amount to S6J4,
300 per year. The discoverer claims
that the magnitude Of the quarry is
equal to the entire requirements Of the
United States for years to come"

with cluck and cackle for n OF pub

After the Buckhannon Conven-
ton, hearing it had adopted the
desired plank, we looked in vain
to find the platform in the Stand
ard, but noted the action of the
Convention, however, with hearty
commentator. Moreover we APP
piled in person to Bro. Piersol for
the platform bat failed to get it.
This was when the Standard was

mended the action of the Conven-
ton referred to, notably in our re-
cent account of the Republican
State Conventions delinquency.

As an all-conclusive argument,
showing our license laws to be d.

Last evening three small boys,
aged IS, IA and Is, visited Me-
Millan's saloon and purchased a
half pint of whisky. The younger
boys declined to drink, and the
eldest boy, named Jeremiah Porter,
drank it all, They next purchas-
ed, at another saloon an additional
half pint, all three drinking, but
young Porter getting the most.
Shortly after the latter was seized
with commissions and died in "a few
hours in terrible agony. The 9TH
er boys are seriously ill.
The deceased was diminutsve in
stature and slender in frame, but
healthy in appearance. He looked
no larger than boy 6 or 7years

An "Airing" Edition.

Our friends will find this issue a
sort of airing edition of the FREE
MAN. We have given our earnest
and enthusiastic correspondents
free rein, and gladly allowed them
to drive pell-mell through the
FREEMAN columns to "air" their
honest sentiments and convictions,
only adding a word of comment
where we thought word was
needed for the best interests OF our
cause.
The disappointment over the
failure of the party State conven-
lions to declare plainly for submits
sion is both deep and sore, and
with our Republican temperance
friends, righteous indignation is
most vigorous in many instances !;
but we have faith to believe that
our cause is in better hands than
the politicians know of. If our
true friends in every county will
but march steadily, turning not to
the right nor the left, all will be
well. Let partizans beat their
toms and parade with Blaine
and Cleveland hats, but let tenn
perance voters see to it that none
but temperance men get their
votes. Let no enemy Of Submission
pass the TEMPERANCE lines.

The Conventions Overflow let's
Look for Our Men and Elect
Them.

The temperance people having
failed to secure the adoption of the
Submission plank by the State
Conventions of the leading parties,
it must be their business now to
ignore parties as parties have ig-
nored them, and look for men.
Show us the men who are in ia
vor of submission and say never a
word about the party that nomi-
mated them. So far as the State is
concerned and so far as the Fourth
Congressional District is concerned,
the Democratic and Republican
parties are on the same footing as
regards the submission of the
Amendment.
The State Conventions ignored
US, and in the district, all part les,
Democrat, Republican and Green
back, have heard US gladly and de-
clared explicitly in favor Of Sub
mission. And now it remains for
temperance voters to thank the
parties for these district favors, and
see to it that we vote for the men
that will assuredly vote for sub
mission. And between two pledg
ed to submission, always vote fol
the man who is both for submission
and adoption; because a pledge
with the principle behind it is
surer of being kept.
Show US our men, friends. Lei
the FREEMAN hear who they are
in every county and Senatorial
district. And please give us none
but reliable information. Give us
the records OF the candidates and
what they themselves have to say
on the question of Submission.

At the Republican Congression-
al Convention held at Huntington
last week, a straight submission
bark was launched with DR.. A. 5.
Barbee ON deck as the nominee.
The DS. has good footing, as ne

age from both the Republican and

Too Conscientious.

Atkinson as politician is a
success for two reasons. First, he
is shrewd and far-seeing; second,
he is an enthusiastic worker. Two
things contribute to make him
weak. He is to conscientious and
he is too confding. I mean by the
last that he is too apt to trust the
people and believe that they are as
honest as he is. In politics this is
fatal mistake Wheeling Register.
We are glad to note compliment
like the above from a political en-
envy, to such brave defender of
West Virginia Homes as is Mr., G..
w. Atkinson. .t CD
The real drift of the Registers
comment is to the effect that but
for Mr.. Atkinson's conscience, he
would be pre-emimeaatly successful as
a politician, And just here the
Register is weak enough to count
the true secret and exhaustless
magazine of strength for supposed
weakness. 1t is Mr.. Atkinson's
conscience and confidence in his fell
low men that give him his com.
handing influence and success,
