A SHOCKING SPECTACLE.
The Disfisured Body of Man Discovered
in Box.

NEw HAVEN, Aug. s.
While Edmund Terrll of Walling ford was
huckleberrying in swamp near Cheshire
today, he found shoe box in the bushes,
which, upon being opened, was found to con-
tain mans body packed closely. Medical
Examiner McGuaghy was summoned and he
found it to be the body of a man about 80
years of age, weighing probably 175 pounds.
The head had been cut off close to the shoul-
ders and the arms and legs had been unjoint-
ed as neatly as though done by an expert.
The head, arms and legs are missing and no
trace of them could be found. The body,
which was but slightly decomposed, was
naked and nothing was found in the box
which would give the slightest clue to the
identity of the victim. The box was an or
dinary shoe box about 80 inches long by Is
inches wide, and inside was lined with tarred
paper carefully tackled in. The doctor thinks
the man must have died within three days,
probably within 4S hours. The doctor aud
those who saw the body in the box are of the
opinion that it is clear case of murder.

How Lubec Fishermen Got the Best OF a
Canadian Cruiser.
EAsTPoRT, Aug.

EAsTPoRr, Aug. 7.
Sumner & Ryerson, Lubec fishermen, got
the best of Canadian cruiser Friday. They
rent weir on Campobello Island, opposite
Eastport and pay the owners $50 year
They Also pay the Canadian government S. a
year for license for doing this. They have
paid this fee for twenty years. While their
boat was taking fish from the weir, Friday,
along came an American cruiser, the "Gen.
Middleton" and seized the boat. As soon as
the owners found it out they produced their
license and the captain of the cruiser sur
rendered the boat to them. Probably some
loophole in the license will be found to pre-
vent their using this weir any more. How
ever, indignation here over these seizures is
daily growing.

COLUMBUS, NEB., January I2.-The
news has just reached here from a
farm house several miles north, that
Minnie Dishner, Nebraska's sleeping
beauty, recovered consciousness on
Sunday, January 3-the SEVENTEEN
day OF her hystero-cataleptic trance
sleep. The roads have been impas-
sable until the present time, and
news Of her recovery could not be
received before. The girl fell into
the trance from which she has now
revived October Goth last. During
the long interval she has lain to all
appearances a lifeless being, with
the exception of respiration and
pulsatiOn. When Miss Disner awoke
her mind was apparently clear and
unimpaired, her appetite and gene
raj feelings good, but her arms and
legs were paralyzed. She says that
she was conscious during tide whole
time of her protracted trance, but
though she exerted her utmost pow
er to evince her consciousness, she
could not move single muscle. She
says she had no physical pain until
the fortieth day of her sleep, when
an electric battery was applied.
Since then she has suffered a thou
sand agonies of body, and at times
it seemed as if her mind would give
way under the strain, and she now
complains of terrible physical suf-
ferings in consequence of the shock
to her system. The doctor in at
tendance says, however, that she
will recover in a short time, and will
also regain full use of her limbs

The Deadly Blizzard.

Those who regard the cold snap
here as severe, have very little con-
ception of what blizzard is in the
Northwest. But when one reads of
people frozen to death between their
houses and their barns, some idea of
the intense severity Of such a visi-
tation may be formed. Erwin .Bak-
er was frozen in his barn yard. John
Long shut up his barber shop and
started for home. and died of cold
before he had gone n quarter of a
mile-and so on. 1t will not be for
some days that the loss of life will
be known.
Yet, even in these ATTITUDES the
amount of injury done is hard to es-
innate. People smitten by the Bit
ing cold do not always die Mt once
by freezing, but take pneumonias,
pleurisies and rheumatisms, that let
them live a few days or weeks, but
cause their deaths at last. A spell
of severe cold is like an epidemic.
The well-housed, richly fed, and
warmly clothed do not suffer very
keenly; but the destitute suffer ter
ribly.. The cold searches them out
and cuts through their scantv bed
clothes, or their threadbare and rag
ged garments, and goes to their vi
tails. The heats of summer are most
fatal to children, for one of the
causes of cholera infantum is heat.
But cold is the most fatal to the
aged. The charity that carries the
sick infants, in July and August,
where they can breathe the salt sea
breezes is noble one but not more
noble than that which provides
warmth and generous nourishment
to the aged and infirm during such
severe weather as that of the past
four days.-Baltinore american.

thinkers. 1t contains many now.
John Stuart Mill was an atheistic
writer, yet he sat in Parliament for
years.
But now Bradlaugh comes back
fresh from new election, in which
the Radicals have made very large
gains. Radicallsm is power such
as it never was before. Liberalism,
if it is to have any chance of success
against Conservatism in the present
House, must seek the alliance of
Radicalism as well as OF Parnellism.
Therefore, it raises no question as to
Bradlaugh's admission. IL it were
right to oppose Bradlaugh's admis-
sion in 1880, because he was an athe-
ist, it is wrong now to admit him
without question. is confession
that religion had nothing to do with
the brutalities inflicted on him few
years ago. Bradlaugh will be pow
er in the present House.-Balttmore

BradIaugl's Admission.

The fact that Bradlaugh, the Eng
fish Radical, is permitted now to
take his seat is a confession that his
treatment in 1880, and from time to
time to the close of the late Parlia-
ment, was most unjust and oppres-
siye. When he came up in 1880 he
objected to taking the usual oath,
on the ground that he did not ac-
cept the religious tenets that the
oath implied, and he offered to af-
firm, as Quakers do. This was de-
MED him, and he was denounced as
an atheist and forbidden to take his
seat. He then offered to waive his
objections and take the oath, but
this also was refused. He then en-
tered Parliament, advanced to the
Speakers chair, and drawing BIZ
BILE from his pocket, took the oath
in the presence of the House; but
he was forcibly elected with great
indignity and brutality, and receiv-
ed bodily injuries at the hands of
the police.
He vacated his place, and offering
himself for re election, was again re-
turned to Parliament by a heavy
majority, but the House, then under
the sway Of the Gladstone ministry.
again denied him admittance and
denied to his constituency repre-
sentation. This was ostensibly be-
cause he was an atheist, but it was
really because he was radical. The
House Of Commons WAS at that time
full OF atheists, agnostics and Free
