A Corpse Restorted to Life by Electricity.

wonderful story was lately cabled from
Berlin, telling how a man who had apparently
been dead two days was restorted to life by
electricity. While this may be doubted, it is a
wellknown fact that electricity properly ap-
piled, if it does not restore the dead, at least
prevents death by curing disease. An electric
appliance made by German electrician has
recently created great excitement in Europe
by the marvellous cures it has made, and we are
pleased to learn that well-known firm in
Brooklyn, N. Y, have obtained the agency for
this country, and offer it at price within the
reach of all. See the advertisement of Forrest

The wits of the City have caught the men,
bers of the Swain Court-Martial on the horns
of a logical dilemma. They had before them a
witness named De Akers, whose testimony they
refused, because he stated he was an infidel.
Now, it is asked, if they refused to believe him
under oath in regard to one thing. why were
they not compelled to do SO when he testified
to his atheism?

;requently and earnestly applauded. Compii-
Ineutiug the comrades upon the gratifying
condition and growth of the Order during the
scar, he said: I" If any officer has neglected his
duty, j have not heard of it; if a comrade has
withheld the charity that his oath enloins him
TO give, it has not come to my notice; If Fra
fernity has counted as naught, or the standard
OF Loyalty which made US eligible to this
grandest of civic organizations has been lowered
a hairs breadth, it is certainly not of record"
Speaking of the Post visitationS which had
been feature of the year, he recalled how
these had been participated in by such worthy
representatives of a great people as Comrades
Logan, Henderson, Harrison, Hawley, Boutelle,
SlOcum, Hanback,, Morey, Haynes, Mckinley,
Cutcheon, and other men distinguished in war
and in the councils of the Nation. very
