Among the various plans proposed
since the death of President Garfield
for regulating the succession to the
White Horse, that tsuggested by Repre-
sentative McCoid, of Iowa, In the last
Congress, and now brought forward
again, is one of the most promising.
Mr.. McCoid's idea In substance is this; I;
He would have the Electoral College
made permanent body and In case
of the death, resignation or inability
whatever that may be--of the Pres
ident and Vice President. he would
have the Electors choose new Pres
ident. This plan embodied the views
of the fathers about the deliberatIye
functions of the Electoral College,
and, so long as the Constitution requi-
res the choice of that rather anona-
lous body. and the election of the Pres
ident by It In the first place, Mr.. Nc
Colds plan seems unobjectionasle.

SHOT A SCORE OF TIMES.
A Nan with Bullets in Every section
OF His Body.
First JsIich.l Journa

While visiting at the County Jail,
few days ago, our attention was
directed to an individual apparently
about so years of age, who sat IN the
corridor reading The turnkey sol
emnly averred that the person referred
to was veritable human arsenal,
having, underneath his well-seasored
skin, bullets enough TO supply a small
army In conversation with the man
we learned sufficient portion OF his
history, which, if true, would form
the nucleus of half dozen tirst-claSs
dime novels. Forty years ago. leav
ing his home near Bridgeport, Conn,
he enlisted in the regular army as
drummer boy.
After serving some twenty years,
under Grant and other famous lead
ers, he was mustered out June %,
1868. Almost Immediately afterward
he was captured, and from that time
dated all his marvellous experience
and seemingly miraculous escape. tie
first encountered bullet from the
rifle of Captain Wirz, which struck
him in the mouth and lodged just
below his right ear, where it now
rests. Another small projectile hit
him square on the bridge of his nose
and passed out at the back of his head.
Later he was taken to Texas, and
finally reached the Rio Grande about
the time Maximilian was shot. Since
1865 he had been a prisoner among
Mexican GreaSers, till finally last
June the band by whom he was held
captive was captured by a regular
Mexican force and on the 18th of the
following August he was released by
the United States Consul. While
prisoner among the Greasers he made
many unsuccessful attempts to get
away, which were almost invariably
accompanied by disastrous results to
himself. He was several times
wounded during such attempts to re-
gain freedom, bullets going through
both hands and the greater portion
of one foot being shot away.
Among other articles, one of which
would prove sure death to any ordin-
airy person, this strange individual
carries silver bullet in the lower left
side of his back, mimic bail just be-
low that, and a three-ounce copper
bullet over the fcmoral artery, this
last forming a ghastly, running sore.
He gives the name of III. 2. May
nard, and believes that his parents,
whom he mas not seen i'll many
years, lives somewhere in the vicinity
of Port Huron. He was on his way to
hunt them up when he unfortunately
fell in with some of his old comrades at
Flushing, and as natural con
sequence imbibed too freely and was
sent up for thirty days. AS soon as
released he says he will resume the
search after his folks, and if success
full in his undertaking will visit with
them for while, after which he will
endeavor to gain admittance into the
Soldiers Home at Washington,
where he will pass his remaining
days.
