Paralytio Struck by lightning and Mar
veously Cured.

Abraham Cuddeback, highly re-
spectcd citizen and merchant of Da-
mascus, Pa, was stricken by paralysis
three months ago while attending
church. He was conveyed TO his
home and several physicians from New
York and Philadelphia were summoned
to his bedside, but all to no avail. His
devoted wife was untiring in her eff
forts TO aid him, and everything that
surgical or medical aid could suggest
was lavished upon the sufferer, but all
to no purpose.
A short time ago the family, broker
down in health and spirits, removed to
Matamoras, Pa, directly opposite Port
Jervis, and a physician from the latter
place was in constant attendance upon
Mr.. Cuddeback. Several weeks ago
he lost his appetite, aud he has been
growing steadily weaker day by day
until it was believed that the end was
not far off.
A terrific thunderstorm accompanied
by the most vivid lightning prevailed
in that section last week, and house
ClOst Dy Iufs SuuutpdSns was su"
and the electric fluid came in at the
open window of his house, and, strik-
ing him, threw him violently from
chair on which was sitting to the floor.
He lost consciousness and was on the
floor in that state for some time, when
his wife came in, and she raised him
to sitting posture and set about to
restore him. This she succeeded in
doing in few moments, and what was
her delight to discover that he had re-
gained the use of his limbs and could
talk and walk as naturally as ever. His
appetite returned also, and now he eats
his meals as usual and seems to enjoy
them, too.
His case is exciting considerable in
terest among the physicians and his
happy family are the recipients of
many congratulations over his miracu-
lous recovery. The case is one of the
most singular ever happening within
the recollection of old physicians in
that neighborhood, and thorough in
vestigation is soon to be made.

As human curiosity is never satisfied
as to the precise moment OF death in
the case of beheadng, the account of
the latest experiment on decapitated
criminal, which is communicated to the
Reoue Sciemtifque by French scin-
tist, who made his observations on the
head of Campi, is of interest. This
time the results are more satisfactory
than has hitherto been the case, and
DR.. Petitgand makes the following
statement with regard to the manifes-
tations of consciousness after tie head
has been separated from the body :: l.
That the head, on being separated from
body, remains in possession of all its
faculties if the hemorrhage does not
pass certain limits, and if the proper
tion of oxygen in the most blood is
sufficient for keeping up the nervous
functions for few short moments,
which car never exceed half Il minute.
2. That repeated convulsive maxillary
movements after the separation of the
head from the body, generally called
"biting the dust are nothing but the
reflex action common in cases of acute
asphyxia.

Wheeling Hty Bankrupt.

The city of Wheeling is bankrupt.
The Constitution provides that city
cannot create debt to exceed FIVE per
cent. of its taxable property. The
State assessment just completed shows
the city property to be valued at &c.,
600, 600, which allows debt of $780,
900. Some time ago the Exchange
Bank refused to cash any more orders
for the city, as it's fund was then over
drawn $4,000. A meeting of the
counsel was called and it was ascer-
tanned that none of the loans negotiat-
ed for number of years was legal. A
new ordinance was prepared, but has
not yet reached the Council. The City
Receiver has borrowed small amounts
of various persons on the street, but
this source of revenue has ceased. The
police got their orders for July pay
cashed on the street, but there is little
hope for their doing so again. The
firemen are unpaid for last month, az
are many other city employees. A new
fire engine was ordered, and is now
here and must be paid for in ton days.

The cholera appeared at Albano,
near Rome, on July l3, 1866, under
very singular circumstances. 1t was
on the occasion Of some religious cere-
mony that attracted great number of
visitors from the Eternal City, who
were gathered together in the grounds
of the Papal Castle of Gaudolfo. 1t
was after the ceremony, and the crowd
were walking through the grounds, ad-
miring the beautiful fountains and lis
tening TO the music of military band.
All at once some of them perceived in
the sky, coming from the direction of
the African coast great black cloud,
divided down the middle so as to re-
semble the two wings of an enormous
bat. A feeling of intense cold over
powered the spectators. In less than
an hour hundred and four persons
had been stricken down by the disease.
The cloud seemed to be charged with
cholera as other clowds with electri-
city. Scientific men explained this
curious phenomenon by asserting
that the cloud had formed over great
stagnant pools in the neighborhood of
Tunis, that are filed with the excre-
ment of countless hosts of locusts and
grasshoppers, The disease did not
spread beyond the gates of Albano.

A question, probably never raised

than 100 years old is not presumably
of insufficient disposing mind, memory,
and understanding to make a will, has
been decided by the Civil Court of
Lyons. The testatrix was Nine. La

of the Restoration. At her chateau,
where she died last December, in her
l04th year, she often entertained Nine.
de Stael, Nine. Rccamier, and Benja-
min Constant. In 1878 she made a
will, by which she left great part of
her fortune to the wife of the notary
who drew it up. This will she revoked
by a subsequent will in 1880, and di-
vided all her property among nephews
and nieces. The notary's family con-
tended that at the extremely advanced
age Of l01, which she was In 1880, she
could not have possessed testamentary
capacity. The tribunal, however, was
satisfied on the evidence that the CEN
tenarian was in the full enjoyment OF
her faculties, and established the will
in favor of her relatives.

FACTS WORTH CONSIDERING

Every reader of our past twenty
years history knows that the states of
the South were engaged in the treason
able attempt to destroy the Union.
Every intelligent man also knows that
all of these rebellious states were then
Democratic, and are still Democratic.
A Democratic victory on Tuesday next
will be Southern victory, or, in other
words, victory for the very states
that did their utmost to overthrow the
government of the United States.
Every intelligent man also knows that
during the Southern rebellion, theSouth
had many friends and allies in the
Northern states, and that these were
invariably Democrats. There were
many such in Wisconsin. They de-
nOunced the war to save the Union;
they resisted the draft by riots. They
were Democrats then. and those still
living are Democrats to-day. A vote
for the Democratic party Is vote of
recognition of the disloyal party in the
rebellion, and of disapproval of the
party that sacrificed life and fortune to
save the Union from destruction.

LAST WORDS BEFORE ELEC-
TTON-THB ISSUES AT
THE POLLS.

Shall American industry have protec-
ton, aud not be compelled to compete
with the pauper labor of Europe?
Shall the great interest of wool grow
ing in the United States be ruined by
the passage of such bill as the last
Democratic Congress came within four
votes of adoptingP
Shall the bulldozing, ballot-box stuff
ing and shotgun practices which pre-
vail in many portions of the Sonth be
allowed to continue?
Shall the right of free speech con-
tinue to be suppressed as now in many
portions of the South?
Shall rebel soldiers be pensioned and
put on an equal with Union soldiers ?
(See National Democratic platform).
Shall the party which saved the
Union in the days of the rebellion give
place to the party which sought to
destroy the Union?
Shall we elect a President whose
superior ability is acknowledged by
his enemies?
Shall we allow the election of Pres
ident who has no marked ability, and
whose private character is a public
scandal9
A score of equally cogent reasons
might be added why every intelligent
citizen should cast his vote for the
ticket.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1884-10-31
PROTECTION VS.. FREE TRADE.

In the late elections in Ohio and
West Virginia the Republicans made
protection of American industry the
chief issue. This issue alone, had
there been no other, was one of vital
Importance, and sufficient for the cam
paign. British free trade, which is an
tagOnistic to American Industries, has
met with decided repulse in Ohio, and
received setback in West Virginia.
But as important as protection Of
American industry may be, we cannot
believe it to be the greatest of issues
in the pending Presidential election.
The question of a permanent solid
South, which is involved in the result of
the coming election, rises superior.
1t has been shown in the columns of
this paper that a Democratic admins
tration may secure solid South for
years to come. It will throw the bal
ance of power into the Southern states,
who, by the aid of their northern allies,
will control the legislation of this
county, which result lnothing but
revolution can prevent. The North
will then be Inundated to submit to
Southern dictation. This is no idle
speculation; the method of its accom-
plishment we have explained in an
other column of the TELEGRAPH.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1884-10-31

select out one principle and on that
organize a party to secure its adoption.
Never yet has there been political
party formed with but one favorite
idea that has accomplished its object.
There have been many attempts of this
kind in this country, but they have
failed. For example, an effort a few
years ago was made to organize a party
to secure the recognition of God in the
Constitution of the United States. 1t
was party of but one idea, and how
ever good that idea may have been, no
great party could be held together on
a single principle. Prohibition is not
now national issue. A single state,
dozen, or even twenty states, cannot
create national issue for the thirty
eight states of this Union. The issue
to be decided at the ballot.box in No
vember is, whether the Republica n
party or the Democratic party shall
have control of this government; it is
whether the party that saved the
Union, or the party that did all in its
power to destroy the Union, shall rule
over the nation. 1t is of no avail to
say that many Northern Democrats
helped to save the Union; these pa
triotic Northern Democrats are not
the great national Democratic party in
this country; they are but a fragment
of it. The safety and peace of the
Union demands that the Republican
party shall continue in power until
the bulldozing Solid South is broken.
The Prohibitionists plead the exam
pie of the anti slavery party to justify
their action. The cases are not par
allel. the anti-slavery party did much
to create right public sentiment, but
the abolition of slavery was not brought
about in the way anti-slavery men
ever dreamed of nor had the wisest
statesman ever predicted it. Presi-
dent Lincoln was opposed to slavery,
but was never identified with the
anti-slavery party. An all.wise Provi-
dence had chosen him as the instru-
ment for the overthrow of that mon
strous iniquity.
But what becomes of the Principle
for which the Prohibition party profess
to be so conscientiOusly contending,
when they knowingly give their votes
to increase the strength of the liquor
Interest? Do the devout christian
Prohibitionists really believe that serv-
ing the devil will promote the cause of
temperance, and rebound to the glory
of God? No Prohibitionist who leaves
the Republican ranks to vote for st
John or any other candidate on the
Prohibition ticket can deny that he is
helping into power the enemies o.
temperance reform. The whiskey deal
ers will thank him for his vote, while
at the same time they will only laugh
at his folly.

The Milwaukee Sentinel gives full
report of Blaine's trip from Chicago to
Milwaukee on Saturday last, including
his addresses at the intermediate cities
where the special train made stops,
and also of the immense demonstra-
ton in the Exposition building. The
scene of enthusiasm at Milwaukee was
probably never before equaled. in this
state. Mr.. Blaine, who had been speak
ing at different points during the fore
noon, had still fresh words to say to
the great multitude that crowded every
available space. The roofs of adjoin-
ing buildings were covered with anx-
ious people to gain sight at the great
American statesman.
At the close of Mr.. Blaine's speech
Hon John F. Finnerty, of Chicago, the
Irish orator, who Is now a Republican
candidate for Congress, made apower.
full speech, giving reasons " why all
rish-Americans should support
Blaine" The reputation of Finnerty
as a prominent Irish leader had drawn
great numbers of Irish citizens to hear
him speak, and it is believed his rea-
soning had convincing effect on many
of his cOuntrymen.

WHO rs GOING S0UTHs

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Illinois Central Railroad
found in this paper. 1t is said persons
in this city and vicinity intend spend
ing the winter in Florida or other local
tiles South: some propose taking New
Orleans in their way Whether going
direct to Florida or some other south
ern point, more than usual induce
ment is now offered by the Illinois
Central Road. The price of round
tickets from Chicago to New Orleans
and return is graded according to time
held good. The cheapest round ticket,
good for fifteen days, is $50; on this
there is a rebate of $40 on return,
making the price only 500. This is
cheap travelling. New Orleans is often
spoken OF as an expensive city in
which to sojourn. The public are
given to understand that new hotels
and boarding houses are sprlnging up,
and that prices will be as moderate as
in northern cities. The New Orleans
Exposition opens December /, 1884.
