The Louisville Courier-Journa
makes a suggestion which seems tC
commend itself as both simple and
just, inasmuch as it would secure to
a party winning the Presidency the
administration of the Government
during the full term. 1t advocates
the passage Of a law by which, in the
event Of the death Of the President
and Vice President, the same electo-
raj college that had elected the Pres
ident would reconyene and elect his
successor, either to fill out the unex-
pired term or until new election
could be held.

The "body-snatchers" seem to be
unusually active at and about Allan
ia. Recently, when the coffin sup
posed to contain the body of a negro
man who had just died was opened
on its way to the cemetery, it was
found to contain nothing but sand
and last week it was ascertained that
the body of Mrs. VIM. Rice, buried
at Mason's church, near Atlanta, had
been stolen from the grave.

A RICH WOMAN.

The richest women in South Amer.
lea is lsadora Cousino, of Santiago,
Chih. The people call her the Coun-
tess of Monte Cristo. She traces her
ancestry back to the days of the CON
quest. This remarkable woman in
herlted her wealth from her husband.
She owns millions of acres, millions
of money, focks and herds, coal, cop
per and silver mines, fleet of iron
steamships, smelling works, rail
road and a few other trihes, yielding
her an income of several millions q
year. From her coal mines alone
she has an income of $4,000 PEI
month. The sonora owns every house
in the town Of Lota, and all of the
1000 inhabitants are dependent up.
on her for support. She pays out
100000 per month in wages. The
house in which the sonora lives cost
100000, and the grounds are a
marvel of beauty and magnifiicence
The two daughters of the sonora are
bellies and beauties. They do not
lack suitors and there are numerous
fortune hunters ON their trail. The
old lady entertains fifteen or twenty
handsome young men at her mansion
all the time, makes them presents
and supplies them with pocket mon
ey, and in return expects them to
entertain her.

Newspapers of To-Day.

People generally. and even those
who may be termed steady readers and
close observers, have but faint con-
ception of the magnitude and influence
the press of this country has attained
From careful examination Of the ad-
vance pages of the 1885 edition of the
Americn Newspaper Directory, issued
May 1st, by Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of
New York, it appears that there are
IA, 147 newspapers and periodicals pub
lished in the United States and Can
ada; of these the United States has IL,
973, an average of one paper for every
1867 persons. In 1884 the total num-
Der of newspapers was less by 1923 than
at present, and while the gain this year
is not SO marked as in some previous
years, it is still considerable. Kansas
shows the greatest increase, the num-
ber being IS, while Illinois follows with
a gain of II. 1t is curious to notice
that New York, the scene of so much
political activity during the last COM
paign, should have only about one
third as many new papers as the State
of Pennsylvania. AS an index to the
comparative growth and prosperity Of
different sections of the country
especially the Territories, the number
of new papers forms an interesting
study, and may well occupy the atten.
ton of the curious.

The COlored Brother.
| Brown County News

Over two months now have passed
since the Democrats have assumed con-
troll of affairs, and yet not a single ne
gro has been remanded to slavery. And
it is said that the colored people down
South who were told they would all be
remanded to slavery if Cleveland was
elected are beginning to think the
Democrats are just as good friends to
the colored race as the Republicans-if
not little better. The colored people
everywhere were told they would be
enslaved if the Democrats succeeded
last fall. The Republicans who told
them this knew they were lying at the
time. The fact is, the Republicans will
have to resort to some other means of
soaring the colored people to vote their
ticket. The slavery humbug has played
out. The negroes are gettingtheir eyes
open to Republican lies, duplicity and
falsehoods, and the more sensible ones
will be more independent hereafter and
vote as they please and not as Republic
cans dictate.

DESHLER.
Present Condition and Outlook of a
Thriving Town.


Railroad Extension--County Seat
Scheme-Normal School, etc.
That Deshler is coming to the front
as one of the leading villages of the
Northwest, Is the unanimous opinion
of its business men. They are looking
forward to big summers trade and
feel confident that they will not be dis
appointed. Deshler is the center of a
large, rich and rapidly developing farm
ing country with no town of impor-
tance near enough to be considered as a
rival.
Its railroad facilities are excellent,
and when the country around is de-
veloped it will no doubt be an impor-
tant grain market. 1t has the Balti-

north and south, besides branch road
to McComb, which opens up fine
country. Speaking of the McComb
road brings to mind the fact that its
sale takes place in short time, and bus
siness men here hope that when ii
changes hands it will be extended to
Findlay and to Napoleon. They will
make great effort in this direction,
and believe it would be paying enter
prise. 1t would connect two important
points and no doubt give Deshler many
advantages it does not now possess.
In talking about the future of Desh-
Ter q prominent business man of the
place said, "I will tell you another
thing that we propose. We will make
an effort when the proper time comes
to make this place county seat. We
have q miles to 60 in this corner OF
Henry to do our county business and il
is too far. And look at the other three
counties. People living i'm the North
western part of Hancock have from &c
to 25 miles to 60 to the county seat, the
Northeastern part of Putnam II and Is
miles, and the south part of Wood from
20 to % miles. Now about two or three
townships from each of these counties
would make nice county and Deshlei
would be right in the center. Another
thing, the people of these different Sec
tions want it, too, and will assist in
bringing the thing about. Some day
you will see nice court house here
and new county formed.
There is still another enterprise Desh.

to carry it out.

BLOOD UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
How an Expert Cleared Woman of
the Charge of Murder.

the Charge of Murder.
1.-THE only instance on record when
the blood of two persons was compared
in criminal trial." said DR.. Piper to a
Call reporter, yesterday, "was in mur-
der case in Chicago. The comparison
settled the innocence of the woman on
trial for her life. The story of the bloody
transaction is as follows? A comely
woman, with $40, 900, married man in
Chicago, and placed her snug little for
tune in his business. In the course of
time he began to abuse her, and finally
she decided to apply for divorce. The
double calamity of losing a woman to
beat and the withdrawal of her $40, 900
from his business made the brute furi-
Gus, and the next morning he was found
dead in one corner of his bedchamber
bullet having gone through his heart.
His wife was found wounded in an
other part of the room. She said that
her husband had come home the night
before in rage and began to abuse her
while she was in bed; that he hit her on
the head with the butt of his revolver
while her head was on the pillow, and
spattered blood over the linen; that she
jumped up and he shot her, infiicting a
slight flesh wound in her side. She
then rushed at him, and snatching the
revolver from him shot him through
the heart. He reeled to the corner
where he was found and died. The
prosecution did not believe her story,
and set up the theory that she had shot
him while he was asleep and dragged
him to the corner, and then inflicted
the wound on herself. The carpet
where the dead man lay was saturated
with blood. According to the theory
of the prosecution the blood ON the pill
low was his also. Iput sections of tie
pillow, with blood upon it, under the
microscope and drew on cardboard the
shape of the corpuscles enlarged about
two thausund diameters. l then put
the blood on the carpet under the mic
rOscope in the same way. The COM
parison was wonderful. The corpus
cles on the pillow were bright, round
and clean. They were beautiful. The
corpuscles on the carpet were large and
disfgured, the result of disease. The
comparison settled that question at
once. The blood corpuscles were as diff.
ferent as day and night, and sustained
the woman's account of the shooting
The was acquitted on that and other
r!ience.
AS between human blood and dogs
. sood, the microscope enable the expert
to determine precisely whether d
specimen is from human being
or dog. But it is impossi
BILE to determine between human blood
and a hogs blood. This fact convicted
one man that I know,of. He claimed
that the blood on his clothes was dogs
blood. / was able to show that it was
not dogs blood; but if he had said that
it was hogs blood l could not have
4 contradicted that statement"

DIR. George F. Shardy, one of General
Grants physicians, and editor of The
Medical Record, has the following to
say of roller skating: "It seem as if
America were peculiarly susceptible to
epidemic influences of a mental kind.
We hear of no other country so vio-
lently perturbed by waves Of temper
ance crusading, religious revivals,
velocipede crazes, pedestrianism, and,
finally, roller skating, upon which lat.
ter pastime the thoughts and feelings of
three-fourths of the rising generation
are at present centered. The question
comes home to the physical or mental
harm. On the whole, we are inclined
to take a rather lenient view of the pre-
sent craze. Considerable inquiry has
failed to elicit any facts showing that
roller skating, temperately Hldulged
in. does any harm in growing children
or produces any diseases and injuries
peculiar to the sport.
