An Auburn lawyers little
daughter goes to Sabbath school
and is in "A class with another little
girl. Possibly the Auburn legal
luminary hasn't allowed for the
sharp ears and the bright eyes of
his little one as much as he might.
1t was in o review last Sabbath
in her class. The teacher was GO
ing over the good old story of
King Solomon and his wisdom.
"Now, dears, who was the great
Queen who travelled so many miles
and miles to see this King" 81.
lence prevailed IN the class.
"Why, you do know, all of you.
The Queen who came to see the
King"
The name had been forgotten
by the class.
In order to help them, the kind
but misguided teacher began to of
fer a little assistance: "You do
know, l am sure. The name be-
gan with s. and she was a very
great Queen.n
Just then up shot little hand
and opt spoke the triumphant
voice of the little Auburn girl.
She transfxed the listening school
room with the fol owing brief
statement, in clear, business like
voice: III know teacher (; it was
the Queen of Spades.n

Trafllcking in turkeys is a busi-
ness of no small importance in
some portions of Kentucky. Mr..
o. A. Gilman, of Paris, is the tur-
key king, and each season does a
business about like the one
just closed in which he shipped
$4,000 head from Paris, Lancaster,
Richmond, Harrodsburg and Lex
ington. From Paris he shipped
to Boston 454 boxes that averaged
100 pounds, total of 104, APO
pounds to New York 300 boxes
that averaged 200 pounds or to-
tai of 81, $500 pounds. Total num-
Der of pounds from Paris 166, ,220 I;

with view to see If Q drowned
animal could be restored to life.
A small dog was forced under wa.
ter, and drowned. He was then
taken out, and laid with his head
inclined downward TO drain his
lungs of water, and left for four
hours in a warm room. 1t will be
noticed that this was quite q diff
ferent and more hopeless case than
the preceding, as the dog had all
his own blood yet in his veins.
After an hour in the warm bath,
and constantrubbing and working,
his veins were opened at three
different points to admit of the
escape of any blood that might is
sue from them, and the injecting
apparatus was vigorously applied
to the arterial system. After fifty
minutes of anxious labor, signs of
revivifieation were observable.
The poor beast whined piteously
as life was being once more en-
throned within him. Notwith-
standing great care was taken of
him, he remained weak for several
days, but seems now to be in good
condition.
A fourth case was recently tried,
in which the subject was u dog
that was strangled and afterward
frozen-as he could not be frozen
without strangling-was unsuc
cessful. After four hours Of Ia.
Dor, no signs of life were nota.
BILE. 1t is believed, however, that
this experiment may yet succeed,
and the life of a frozen animal re-
stored.
1t is proper to add that, in the
first cases, after the blood ceased
to flow from the wound, measures
were taken to prevent air entering
the circulatory system as the ami
NAL cooled, and in all the cases the
respiratory apparatus was nicely
adjusted TO the capacity of tho an
imal. If the lungs in any case had
been ruptured or overstrained,
hamorrhage would have subse
Quentlv ensued.
The first dog operated upon is
now in the possession of Mr.. Geo.
Woodsido, No S3l Champa Street,
and the calf is in the stock lot OF
Mr.. Boyd, west of the Plato, near
the Thirtieth Street bridge. Any
ono having the curiosity to see an
imals that have been dead, and af-
terward scientifically restored to
life, can do so by calling at these
places.

Ssme Sectional Arguments.
[Picaynne.I


harbor bill is evolving from the
railroad men some rather sectional
arguments, and we must confess
that we are at a loss to see what
they expect to gain by taking that
Objectionable course. For exam.
pie, Price, a Wisconsin lumber
man, who was in the Legislature
thirty-fOur years ago, said the
other day twice within three min
utes that the bill made a diff
ference of s2,0lO,0OO in favor of
the lower over the upper Mis-.
sissippi river. He moreover as
serted that the Southern States
get s3,SS7.00 and the North
ern States S3,070,200. Such an
argument leaves out all consid-
Grafton of the merits of the several
appropriations, which is what
should actually govern. 1t GER
tainly will be news to the South
that the Mississippi river below
Cairo is a sectional Southern
work. Probably most people have
been laboring under the impress.
sion that the great inland water
way was more needed by the sgri.
cultural Northwest than by the
South. The main feature of the
improvement has been to secure
a reasonable depth of water up to
st. Louis; as that city is South
ern city We suppose we must un-
derstand that the matter does not
concern the North. But We shall
refuse to take the railroad men as
the mouthpieces of the North.
We prefer to hear the Hon. Ezra
b. Taylor, of Ohio, who said, when
Price gave him q chance, 81 never
would dream Of asking whether it
appropriates more money South
than North, more money West
than East. Such consideration
would have no right to have place
in my mind at all. The question is
whether the proposed appropria-
tion is a proper and q judicious
one. If it is, let it be made; if it
is not, let it be refused; whether
it be in Ohio or Texas.n
The purpose of the Improvement
of the Mississippi river is to afford
the agricultural Northwestern
States sure outlet to the ocean,
which by its competitive power
will keep down the rates of rail
transportation. II it is resolved
that the railroads shall have the
field to themselves. then we may
stop improving rivers and build
no more canals; but the people in
that case will be likely to insist on
more rigid regulative legislation
than will content them if they are
allowed the water channels. The
problem is local as well as gener.
al. The people of the Grand Lake
Basin in this State are calling for
the opening of Plaquemine Bayou,
in order that they may have easy
water communication with New
Orleans. The Mississippi River
Commission have been for several
years in favor of giving locks in
Plaquemine; but the Eads forces
keep the way blocked. If this OBJ.
struction continues, the people of
lacustrine Louisiana will some day
take to demanding legislative reg.
ulation of the railroads from both
State Legislature and Congress ;
If the railroads were wise, they
would favor the most enlarged
policy of water Improvement, and
so placate the people by leaving
them their choice of transporta.
tion. Extending the problem to
include the whole valley, we bold.
ly assert that if the railroads con.
tinue to oppose river improve
ment they call down on themselves
rigid legislation.
