Little Things Which Often Prove Danger.
Gus, While Severe Injuries Sometimes
Produce Trifiing Results.
Sometimes a slight blow on the head
has resulted in death, or, what is worse.
in the permanent loss of reason. A
mere scratch on the hand, or a silver in
the foot, or a grain of dust lodging in
the eye, or the tiniest fish-bone entering
the wind-pipe, has proved fatal. Such
facts may lead us to accept the poets
statement, The SPIDERS most attenu-
ated thread is cord. is cable. to mans
hold on life" But there is another
class of facts quite as surprising, that
are different from these.
An iron bar has been driven through
the brain. with a considerable loss of
brain substance. and vet no permanent
harm has come to body or to mind.
The fact is, while a mere prick in a
particular part of the brain (the me-
dulla oblongata) NAV cause death, the
great bulk of the brain is exceedingly
tolerant of many forms of injury.
Even the heart is much more tolerant
than is generally thought. The phySi-
clan may thrust his fine instrument
through it with safety. An insane
woman sought to kill herself by pierre
ing it with hairpin, but wholly failed
of her purpose. although the pin inter
fered with the natural movements of the
heart.
A woman swallowed paper of pins.
The pins traversed various organs and
tissues of the body, and yet she recoy-
cred from the local Inflammation.
A boy was brought to the hospital in
sensible, and nearly dead from asphyxia
(want of breath). The doctor having
run catheter down the wind-pipe, a
piece of chestnut was coughed up. The
next day there was evidence that an
other piece was lodged in another of the
bronchial tubes. 1t was impossible to
diSlOdge it. There followed all the
symptoms of acute consumption
(pthisic): high temperature, sweating.
emaciation. cOpious expectOration of Of
fersivc matter. and large cavity. Yet
the boy in three months returned home
convalescent, and six months later the
csvity had disappeared.-Touth's Com

a DOUBTFUL STORY.

The Statement That Vice-PresIdent
Hendricks Speaks with Contempt OF
President Clevelsnd's Policy Not True.
We doubt very much the story of the
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Times that Vice-President
Hendricks speaks with contempt of the
policy of the Administration, will Op-
pose it both in and out of the Senate,
and VIII organize opposition to the
Presidents appointments. The Re-
publican press has labored diligently
for some time TO create differences be-
tween members of the Cabinet and be-
tween the party and the Administrs-
ton, but thus far without tie slightest
success.
1t is not to be supposed that all the
men at the head of the Government
will be of one mind with respect 10
every question that comes before them
Human nature is not 80 constituted that
membership in aparticular party means
harmony on the part of every member
of the organization. The Cabinet
is made up of men of ideas and convic-
tions. The Vice-PreSident is a man OF
convictions, too, as Is President Cleve-
land. The latter is peculiarly situated,
because he can not fairly ignore the
claims of thousands of Republicans
who supported him in preference to the
Republican candidate for President,
though he doubtless feels that he can
not afford to lose the favor of thou
sands of Democrats in order to keep
theirs. The Graphic believes the Vice
President is right in the assumption
that the Democrats won the victory
and should have the fruits of it;
but it also believes, as the Vice-Presi-
dent doubtless does. that the President
means to do right, and with that end
in view will fill the offices with Demo-
crats as fast as in his view he consist
emily can. Whether it will be done
fast enough IS the question at issue.
and the party is very patient.
But, however this may be, there will
be no party fight. The hopes to that
effect of the Republican press will come
to naught The Democratic party has
too much to expect with a continuance
OF the harmony that prevails 10 imperil
itself on a struggle of any minor, or for
that matter any larger, question. Civil
Service reform as the Republicans view
it is great humbug, and its main pur-
pose is TO keep Republicans in and
Democrats out; but the Democratic
party will not assist in its development
by qIarreling themselves ont of office
altogether. The President will be treat
ed with the greatest respect by the
Democrats of both the Senate and the
House of Representatives, and it will
be found that if every Democrats not in
total harmony with every other Democrat
on every question and that state OF
things never yet eXisted-there is suf-
ficiency of harmony to preserve to the
party in the Union the success ithas
already won.-N Y Graphic.

THE TRUE EXPLANATION.
A Republican Model Which IVES TOT
Closely Followed.

A Republican Model Which IVES Tot
Closely Followed.
The Maine case of a man appointed
postmaster while in jail for default as
assistant in the same Office has been
rolling for some time as n sweet NOR
sci under the tongue of the irrecon-
cilables, who have rejoiced in it as
proof of Administration incapacity or
laundering. or worse.
1t has just transpired, hOwever-in
the investigation to which the case re-
ferred to has given rise-that reap
pointment of proven defaulters was a
very common affair under Republican
Administration. On the 18th of Janu-
airy last the postmaster of Oneonta,
New York. was reported 10 the De-
partment as defaulter by one of the
inspectors. Notwitbs an Ing he was.
on the 18th of Eebru lry. lust q month
later, reapp)in.ed 10 four, ears term
In Que of the Ohio ICES the posi-
master was twi e repo ted last year for
grave delinquencies an | his dismissal
recommended; but the delinquent was
continued in Office. There ere others
TeAAA III OAiNC tihob OCAd4Nhb4OAo
were reported years ago.
The appropriate explanation on the
Republican model would be that the
Republican Administration was inca
pable or deliberately kept those
thieves and rascals in office rather than
expose them. But the true explana-
ton is said to be found in the red-tape
system which the Republicans have es-
tablished in the Department Under
this system reports of defalcation have
been pigeon-holed and delayed. and
never reached the appointing power, or
not until after the defaulter was reap
pointed. The ''irreconcilables" will be
very ready to accept the explanations
of the cases under Republican Admin
istration; though they have secuted it in
the Maine case under the present Ad-
ministration. which stands substantial
ly on the same footing.-DetroI Free

SERVED ABOUT RIGHT.
How Meade, OF Mississippi, Tried to Make
1t Unpleasant.

1t Unpleasant.
When the President discovered that
his Administration had been deceived
into appointing to a post-oilice in Mis-
sissippi person by the name of Meade
who had been unpleasantly connected
with an election irregularity involving
bloodshed, he promptly ordered his
nomination to be revoked. This has
been the Presidents custom upon dis
appointments by deception.
Meade, it is said, was greatly incensed
and threatened to do dreadful things
toward those controlling the appoint
ing power. In the first place he would
show his strength with the people by
being elected to the State Legislature.
and from such a point of vantage
he would then proceed to carry
out his direful intentions. Backed
by large constituency disap-
proving the treatment he had re-
ceived from the Administration, he
would make things hot for those in
power at Washington. He accordingly
announced himself rs candidate for
the Legislature. confidently expecting
nOmipation almost if not quito unani-
nous.
But when the day of nomination ar
rived there was no irrepressible desire
on the part of the people to select
Meade for their legislative representa-
tive. There was no popular Indignation
at the way he had been treated by the
Administration. Indeed it seemed to
be the general impression that he had
been served about right, for his OPP
ponent got large majority of the votes.
and he was badly left. Meade is now
a hopeless wreck upon the sea of Mis-
sissippi polities.-Harrisburg (PG) Pa
