Demands Investigation.

The city of Atlanta has begun the
erection Of O soldiers monument
which is to be $50 feet in height and
cost 100000. Near the base of the
column, in inches, will be statues of
Lee, Grant, Johnston and Sherman.
Near the top of the column will be
two soldiers, the blue and the gray,
clasping hands, and at the top of
the column, standing on o globe,
will be the Goddess of Liberty.
Still. according to that Bible Of Re-
publicanism (the Oregonian) the
South is, at heart, in a state of re
bellion. 1t only sent its illustrious
sons to console the dying chieftain
at Mount McGregor, to act as pail
bearers ana shed a tear at his fu-
neral obsequies, for outward show.
1t is only erecting the Atlanta mon
ument, perpetuating the valor of
brave men who wore the blue and
the gray, as a pretense of good will.
1t may be true that humanity very
seldom goes to such extremes in de-
ception, but it must be constantly
borne in mind that the Southern
people are peculiar in many re-
spects. They were peculiar and un.
fortunate in having ideas which did
not coincide with those of the aboli-
ton element in the North before the
war. 1t may be true that they
fought for what they considered
property under the Constitution. 1t
may be true that it is no longer
such. True that the Constitution
prohibits slavery. True that being
law-abiding, they acquiesce. Even
true that they gladly do so, for they
find that they have never properly
understood the capabilities of enter
prise in tho South. But all this
does not justify such remarkable
manifestations of goodwill, friend
ship or fraternity, as would justify the
erection of monuments. Boston,
under similar circumstances, would
not do it; even Chicago, with her
remarkable progress, could not 80
nearly emulate the angels; so there
must be some hidden import in such
acts. May it not lie treason The
Oregonian should investigate.

Raising the Dead.

Dr. Richardson, in his ere
searches in Resuscitation," suggests
some serious reflections OIL the ques-
ton, " What is death? When does
death occur? May life be restored
after actual death q
By combining artificial circula
tian' with artificial respiration deg
was restored to life one hour and
five minutes after being killed by an
overdose of chloIoform, the heart
being perfectly still. cold and pass
ing into rigidity. Animals that have
been killed by suffocation, the heart
and other viscera displayed by par
tial dissection, were so far brought
into a state of muscular irritability
that the experiment was stopped
from motives of humanity, lest the
mutilated body should return to con-
scious sentieut life. Frogs poisoned
by nitrate Of amyl were restored af-
ter nine days of apparent death; in
one case after signs of putrefactive
change had commenced. Various
methods of affecting these resuscita-
tions are resorted to, the most orig
iual and effective being that of pump
ing warm defbrinated and oxygen
lied blood into an artery in such a
manner that the stroke of the pump
shall correspond with the natural
pulsations of the artery and to the
stroke of the heart, which is thus
awakened to its customary work.
The action of peroxide of hydrogen
in terminating the blood and restor-
ing animal heat in really dead body
is quite startling. The agent upon
which DR.. Richardson most relies in
protracting the period that may re.
lapse between apparent death and
restoration of life, is one that by
no means suggests itself to the un-
initiated, viz: extreme cold"
This reliance is based on the fact
that it suspends the aggregation of
the blood corpuscles in tho minute
vessels; the contraction of tha.capil.-
laries; the occurrence of rigor morris;
putrefactive change in the blood.
and more especially that it retards
or completely prevents coagu!ation
OF the blood.
The Doctors observations all tend
to justify the conclusion that a
drowned or suffocated man is not
hopelessly dead so long as the bod
lily organs remain uninjured by vio-
lence or disease and the blood re-
mains sufficiently liquid to be set in
motion artifcially, and supplied with
little oxygen to start the chemical
movements of life.

GREAT LABOR PARADE.-It is ex.
pected that between $4,000 and 4O..
600 people will participate in the
great labor parade in New York on
September 7th. Preparations are on
a most elaborate scale. A novel fea-
ture will be the prominence of wo-
men workers in the ranks. Carpet
weavers of New York city and Yonk-
ers alone will furnish 1,70O. All
unions represented in the buildings
trades council will turn out in full
force. German bakers will parade
in white shirts, black pants and
white caps. German and French
singing societies will take part in the
demonstration, singing along the
line of march. Governors of States,
the Mayor of the city and many other
prominent officials are expected to
be among the invited guests. The
reunion is to be a sort of colossal
picnic. There will be little or NO
speech making.

Pacific Coast Lumber Trade.

The lumber trade ON tho Pacific

The Business Outlook.
Industrial South.


1t is pleasant to note glimpses OF
blue sky in the business horizon.
The air seems to be getting more
oxygen in it and men breathe moro
freely and look more cheerful. This
seems to be generally conceded in
the great commercial centers Of the
North where, if the revival does not
actually originate, the first symptoms
of its appearance are always to DO
looked for. And then in tho nature
of things better times must be at
hand. Already the stringency and
stagnation have been of unusual du.
ration, and the time has come for
the laws of alienation and periodi.
city to assert themselves in O change.
Besides, with the exception Of
short crop of wheat this year and OF
cotton last year. the former of which
will be more than compensated by
the excess in other cereals and tho
latter by the unexampled product Of
cotton this year, We have had fine
crops for years, while the CONNER.
cial exchanges between this aud for
eign countries have been vastly in
our favor, and there is really no OK
cuse for dull times. Money too is
abundant to redundancy, insomuch
that its owners do not know what to
do with it and leave it piled up in
bank. The New York banks alone
are said now to hold seventy millions
of idle capital. This cannot con-
tinue. Money abhors inaction as
nature does vacuum. It 10 its ma
ture to circulate, and the nature Of
its owners to keep it moving, for 30
only does it increase and multiply.
With plentiful money and plentiful
harvests and plentiful commerce,
what can hinder the return Of bust
ness prosperity!
