GoVernorS of some of the northern States, but more especially Governor Morton, of h. diana, had declared them unfit for the exer- else of that right
 Some of the provisions of the will of an eccentric Canadian physician named Dunlap are as follows: To my eldest sister, Joan, my fve-acre field, to console her for being mar ried to man she is obliged to henpeck To my second sister, Sally, the cottage that stands beyond the said field, with its garden, because, as no one is likely to marry her, it will be large enough to lodge her. To my sister Lydia, my silver drinking cup, for req sons known to herself To my brother-in- law Jack, 8 punch-bowl, because he will do credit to it. To my brother-in-law Christo- pher, my best pipe, out of gratitude that he married my sister Maggie, whom no man of taste would have taken. To my friend John Cadden, silver teapot, that, being afflicted with a slatternly wife, he may therefrom drink tea to his comfort
 The free traders try hard to make the farmers believe that they get no benefit from protection, but the facts are against their eff forts. Compare these figures of manufac- lures in Connecticut in 1860 and 1880:

 The prosperity of the farmers of the State has gone handin hand with the increased pros perity of the manufacturers and their employees
 Consul Shaw of Manchester says: q be- ieve that clothing similar to that which En- glish operatives wear can be bought in the United States at the same prices. There is great deal of misleading sentiment about this fact, for the reason that the cost of clothing worn by American working people is known to be more than that paid by operatives here; but sufficient importance is not given to the superior quality and makeup of the former. Give me the same style, make and quality and we can equal the English in cheapness, if not undersell them. Surprising as this will appear, a visit to great ready-made cloth ing house in New York will abundantly yer fly the statement here made.'' 'It will seem,'' he says, 'Fthat the American working men do not suffer so much for want of cheap European clothing as foreign philanthropists endeavor to prove. In any case it is impossi- ble to have American wages and European condition at the same time.'
 The charge of MT. Schurz that the pension office was used in the Ohio canvass to secure votes for the Republican party by giving preference in the settlement of pension claims to those claimants who would vote the Re- publican ticket has been thoroughly disposed of. Mir. Everett P. Wheeler of New York, in behalf of the Civil Service Reform associa- l ton, wrote to President Arthur inviting his 1 attention to the charge, and asking that it ] might be investigated. The president re- l ferred it to the acting commissioner of pen < sions, who has charge of the bureau during l Commissioner Dudley's absence He an swers that no such preferences have been | given, and no directions to that effect have been received from the commissioner by himself or any of his subordinates in the office He justly says that such discrimina- 1 tion would be criminal, and as further evil dence that the charges are untrue, he gives l detailed statements of the business of the ] pension office for the past few months, show | ing that the Ohio claimants have had no ad- l vantage over those from other States. a l Cases of cholera patients who, having reached the algide stage, have been giver over as dead while perfectly capable of re
 covery have (the London Lancet says) no been unfrequent in the last visitation in Italy ] The following is a we'll authenticated instance
 Dr. Canepa, a physician in Genoa, was at | tackled with cholera, and before remedia measures could take effect passed rapidly into the algide stage, and to all outward seeming ceased to live. His death was duly announced by the practitioner in attendance and his family had performed the last offices pending those of the undertaken, whose ar rival they were awaiting in 8 room adjoining
 that in which the body of pr. Canepa, de
 gently covered with white sheet, was lying Suddenly the door between the two cham
 bers were seen Go open, and the ghastly fig
 ure of Dr. Canepa, arrayed in burial vesture presented itself to the thunderstruck family
 In feeble, scarcely audible voice he com
 plained of having been left so long withou
 attendance (six hours, in fact, having elapse,
 since he was given up and laid out as dead
 He was immediately replaced in bed an'
 every restorative practieed on him till
 physician could be obtained to perform Pa
 cini's operation of hypodermoclysis. But i
 vain. The assistance which might have bee
 effective some hours previously arrived to ] late.
