uouSo Appctotmonto.
 The Louisville Couner-Journal. edi' ted by Henry watterson, has the tol- lowing In regard to President Har- rison's appointments. "Thcre is no denying that the administration IS getting in some very as.ute political and party work in it's appo ntmenls to office. With the exception of Wanamaker and Tanner, Mir. Harrison. while selecting active and orthodox republicans of the most pronounced description, has shock cd no popular or moral sensibllily, but has rather impressed the county with we'll intentloned men. working for the best with great intelligence within his own party lines. The batch of diplo- matic nominations sent to the senate yesterday completes the list ot foreign places ot importance. to be filled. anu though containing some surprises it will on the whole give general satisfaction. The nomination ot Robert Linboln as minister to England IS at once sur prise and ten strike, taken tn connec- ton with the selection of Fred Grant for Vienna. It conveys an appeal to tho young Tepublicanlsm of the period which cannot tail to have its effect Both of these are sons ot illustrious
 sires are American gentlemen withou, scratch, and fully qualified personally and officially to represent the country haodsomely and adequately in the old
 world. No better minister to France could be found in any wa!k oi life than Whitelaw Reid, and no filter consul general to London than John C. New. Nov we have Halstcad 10 Germany and Allen Thorndyke Rice to Russia. Mir. Rice is editor ot the North American
 Review, a man of many accomplish
 ments and large fortune. whose knowt ] edge of European lite and affairs Is
 very great and has not been obtains q
 by the sacrifice of american,sm. The
 selection of Mir. Haistead to Berlin is
 a particularly happy one He is already
 we'll known to Germans. In German, !,
 he was. . companion and guest oi
 Won Moltke and met the great chan
 cellor familliarly and often and ~ili he no stranger to theEcoUri to which he IS appointed. The rest of the appoint. ments are in the same line particularly that of Paiick EAgan which at this mo- ment must be very gratifying to the Irish On both sides of the water. lt costs us nothing to say these things The contest between the democratic and republican parties four years hence. will turn upon the iIreconcilabie antago- nism of opinion. In the mean time 1t is of interest to sll men to have the business of our country, particularly our responsibility abroad. in the hands of capable and good men, as u can never be to the intesest of any party to raise false personal issues or deny politically that measure of justice which socially no one would think of withholdiug. All the appointments we have named aie individually excellent and from purely partisan standpoint made with admira- ble discernment and keen foresight"

 are his remarks on his burial, which is
 soon to take place:
 "I propose to sO discipline my body and mind that can take upon myself at volitlon trance state. and while tn this condition be buried. shall T.- main Tn the grave four weeks, then be disloteued, and believe resuscitate,i.
 Impossible ? No! The Fast India
 priests have successfully demonstrated
 for centuries that n can be done. The
 study l have given this subject has rc-
 vealed much to me. Many oi the secrets
 of this performance have revealed then.- selves to me. One 0! the principal acts
 is to throw the tongue back into the gull
 let and cause change of the circulation
 ot the blood, so that t resumes the con- ditions of the parental state. In that state there IS no respiration the bo0y thus becomes aif-tight It is as if her medically sealed and the valves O. the heart are changed to condition similar to the position occupied in the unborn child. This IS but one of the secrets have learned. but to ascertain them have studied every book on the subject, although none contained many rays oi light. have killed scores ot rsccoons, opossums. bears and other hibernating animals when in their winters sleep, and dissected them to learn the changes of the organs while m this leihargic state. For years l have dieted to gain all the strength possible for ,his great achieve ment l am now prepared to say that but acompara,Ively short time will elapse before will announce that 1 am ready for the undertaking.

Crane. of Iihopolis, III narrowly escaped such a fate a few days ago. and Dr. Jockets, still a prac- ticing physician at EIgin, had many na,. row escapes during the fourteen days h he vas apparently dead. There is not doctor alive who can tell whether one is dead or in trance until decomposition becomes pronounced. Certi6cates of death are constantly given tor persons who regain their natural powers before the ink of the physicians signature is dry. That hundreds are placed in the grave while yet alive each year no one can doubt.
