A DISTINGUISHED COUPLE.

At the time Of his marriage to Miss Nealley,
when Iowa was in the infancy of statehood,
Mr.. Grimes had just fairly entered the distin-
guished career which opened before him, and
in his young wife he found a companion who
greatly aided him in his public character by
the unerring accuracy of her advice, the refine
ment Of her social gifts, and her aptitude for
affairs OF state and politics. She presided over
the gubernatorial household Of Iowa from 1854
to 1853. She was one Of the leading ladies of
the senatorial circle at Warrington from 1859
to 1869, or during the antagonisms of social
intercourse growing out Of the partisan asperi-
ties incident to the slavery contests in Congress,
during the alarming and anxious period Of the
war, and through the political animosities of
the johnson administration. She retired with
the incoming Of Grant a. President and en-
joyed the privacy and happiness Of home life
for three years, when her distinguished husband
suddenly died.
There is no one in the official life Of WASH
ington to-day more familiar with the frontier
political and social history Of the country than

Senator Allison resides in fine residence on
Vermont avenue, just off Thomas circle.
SENATOR ALLIsoN's HOUSEHOLD.
Since the sad death of his wife the Senator's
household has been presided over by her foster
mother, Mrs. Grimes. This historic woman.
although somewhat advanced in years, enjoys
vigorous health, and has been one of the
prominent figures in the social life of Washing
ton for many years. She was Elizabeth Sarah
Nealley, daughter of prominent citizen of New
Hampshire. Her father was closely related to
Jonathan Cilley, well known in public affairs,
and who, while in the House Of Representatives
OF the United States, was killed near Washington
in duel with William J. Graves, of Kentucky.
Miss Nealley went to Iowa with her elder
brother in 1SA6, year after the territory be-
came state. The same year she married
James Wilson Grimes, then a rising lawyer.
state legislator and politician of thirty years of
age. MIR. Grimes belonged to a family of
Scotch-Irishmen who emigrated from Argyle
shire, Scotland, under James l, to aid in
strengthening his throne and the Protestant
cause in the north of Ireland. As early as I7I9
his ancestors had settled in Londonderry, New
Hampshire, near which ancient site he was
born in 1916. He went to Iowa as soon as he
left Dartmouth college, settling at Burlington
in 1886, where he served in divers prominent
positions in the brief space of four years, under
the territorial governments of Michigan, Wis
consin and Iowa.

the horror OF the operator a shrek from his
subject showed that he was still alive. The ex-
animation had proceeded so far, however that
the unfortunate able died of the injuries re-
ceived at the hands OF the surgeon.
We thus see that such an occurrence, while
possible ID extremely rare, and it is fair to sup
pose that the progress of medical science has
been sufficient to render it impossible that
three doctors should together make such ter
rible mistake. The fact that the patient was a
known cataleptic must have rendered them
doubly careful, and they must have made assur-
ance doubly sure before beginning the exami-
nation. In Short they may have erred in max
ing the post norton without proper authority.
but the notion that their man was not properly
and inevitably dead-that they killed him-is
absurd.
THE BENEFIT OF POST MoRrEM
1t seems to be general opinion that mere
useless curiosity led to the making Of this post
norton. In this connection it should be re-
membered that while Mr.. Bishop used his cata-
leptic tendency both as q source of pleasure to
his friends and of profit to himself, such a con-
dition would generally not be regarded as an
unalioyed blessing, but as constant source of
alarm and danger and proper subject for
earnest medical attention. The very ground
work Of all rational treatment is a proper I'M
derstanding of the exact condition Of the dis
eased organ, and in the domain of the nervous
system particularly the microscope has still
much 70 teach not only OF interest TO the pro-
fession but Of benefit to the public. Then ex-
animation Of the brain of a single dead man
may reveal some new fact which shall be used
to the advantage of hundreds of the living.
The coroner in this case who has made a
post norton upon q post mortem. and that
several days after the first one, is not to be
blamed foe being somewhat doubtful az to the
cause OF death. 1t is most probable that the
physicians who are now on trial before the
public are the only ones who have possession
Of the real facts in the case, and who have a
clear understanding of it; and it would be un-
just to condemn them without an impartial
hearing. II. s. 4, 81.

Samoa.

The change of front of Germany in
the Samoan controversy is notable.
From the beginning the United States
has insisted on perfect independence for
the islands. Germany differed, and rec
commended that Samoa should be under
the protection of a single power, intend
ing to be that power herself. England
agreed apparently with Germany. Now
Germany comes forward and of her own
accord proposes that the basis of agree
ment between the three nations shall be
absolute non-interference of foreign
powers in Samoan affairs and the free
and full election of a king by the Samo-
ans themselves. As this is chiefly what
the United States has been contending
for all along, it will be very easy to
agree to both propositions. It is pleas
ant to note concilatory attitude in

The Right Honorable William Ewart
Gladstone is solemnly and heavily down
on American divorce, in the last number
of The Nineteenth Century. But that
good Quaker paper, The Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph, answers him hand
somely. Among other well made points,
it shows up the difference between
American and European morality in the
following neat paragraph:
While the growth of easy going divorce laws in
this country is attributable to the Discrimination
to submit to dispeasing restraints for the sake of
the body poltio or the cause Of high morals. 1t Is
also due to the disposition among American men
and women to liveas decently they can with.
out sacrificing too much to what too many OF
them regard as an abstraction. Where an Eng
lshman, or a European of any country, would
relieve himself Of the CALLING restraints OF dis
tasteful marriage by forming illegitimate connec-
tions, an American similarly situated would seek
divorce and consummate o new marriage

Water for Oklahoma.

Next to the fighting over their claims,
the greatest Inconvenience endured by
the Oklahoma settlers is want of water.
There are now under consideration new
methods for accommodating and storing
water that may prove invaluable to the
settlers. There certainly must be meth
DDS of obtaining water in the dry terri
tories, either by irrigation, or by artesian
wells, or by some other method. There
is no industrial problem that the brain
of man cannot conquer in time. The
water supply question once settled, the
southwest will become the garden Of the
Union. The soil of much of it proves
extraordinarily fertile when irrigated.
It may be expected that New Mexico,
Arizona and other dry regions will in
the future be filled with frrlitfulness and
beauty, and become the home of teem-
ing millions

A very interesting question has arisen
In connection with the rescue of the
Danmarks 700 passengers by the PAila-
delphia freight steamer Missouri Capt.
Murrell. of the Missouri, had not room
on his ship for the others passengers.
In order to make room he threw over
board large quantities of freight, woolen
rags and baled goods, which he was
bringing to Philadelphia. He did this
without thinking anything about it"
he said, in his manly, modest way. In
law this action of the captain is called
"jettisoning the cargo" It was, of
course, the only thing to do under the
circumstances, and every body commends
the captain. But the question now is.
Who is to bear the loss of the cargo thus

A Chicago Solomon.

1t is nearly always in Brooklyn, but
this time it was in Chicago The windy
city by the lake was the scene of the
heartrending matrimonial brigazee it Is
our sad duty to record.
Mrs. Hubert James put on her new
Easter bonnet in all its glory. It was a
dream, q poem, a phantom of delight.
Mr.. Hubert James was q critic, as well
as an admirer Of tho feminine sex. His
eye roved over the fair form and new
bonnet of his wife at first approvingly.
Then a speck of war appeared on the
horizon. Mr.. James eye rested on q
particular spot on Mrs. Us face. A
scowl like Jove's thunder cloud gathered
on James brow.
The spot that gathered the thunder
cloud was a mole. It was q tiny brown
mole, and. on the whole, not an unbe-
coming one. But out from its heart
started three great hairs, bristles, in
short. several inches long. Women have
frequently pretty moles on their faces
disfigured by long hristles. Why they
do not pull them out or cut them off
passes understanding. Perhaps they
keep them because they are faint sug-
gestion of real whiskers, and q fragrant
cigar, and a man. Perhaps they regard
them as a mascot, and have a supersti-
ton that it would be bad luck 70 shave
them off. At any rate there they stay,
and they are not pretty.
Many other times Mr.. James had
begged his pretty wife to clip off the dis
figuring bristles from her pretty mole;
yea, he had implored her with tears in
his eyes. But she would not.
Now when he saw the long black whis-
ers so contrasting with the fairy like
Easter bonnet, it maddened him. Fled
was all the holy repose Of the sweet
Easter dawn from his infuriated soul
He sprang at Mrs. j. like a tiger, saying
these awful words:
"You look like billy goat. I'll pull
those whiskers out myself"
And he did. Thereupon little Mrs.
James hit him over the head with a car
pet sweeper. Oh, how sad it was on that
holy Easter morning! Instead of raising
their thoughts in devotion the couple
raised Cain awfully. They were arrested
and brought before the court. The whole
shocking story was laid bare The
judges decision was such as to strike
terror to the hearts of ladies who wear
three whiskers on a mole for luck. In
brief the judge said to James:
commend your action. have observed these
hairs growing out of meles on the ladies' faces,
and never could understand why they were pre-
served. Talsman or not, l am in favor Of wiping
them out, and the man who is brought before me
for pulling them out will be leniently dealt with.
You may go, MIR. James.
Ladies will take notice that hereafter
the law is against them in this matter.

A Real Ship Railway.

1t was left for Canada, without max
ing any fuss aboutit, to enter upon one
of the most stupendous engineering pro-
iects of our century. This is the con-
struction of a ship railway, such as the
late Capt. Eads tried for years to con-
vince the American people was feasible.
Canada's ship railway is to be built
across Chignecto Neck, which separates
the head of the Bay of Fundy from the
waters of the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
Chignecto is the narrow isthmus which
connects Nova Scotia with the main
land. at present vessels coming down
the St. Lawrence and bound for sc. John,
N. B.. or. for the United States ports,
must sail around the stormy coast of
Nova Scotia. It is a distance Of 700
miles.
Chignecto isthmus is seventeen miles
across Years ago Mr.. Henry Ketchum
projected in his mind this railway. He
never lost sight of it, but clung to it and
advocated it on all occasions. At last he
has had the happiness of seeing it at
least begun. The contracts for the work
have been let, and cutting commenced
in various sections.
The work is estimated to cost five and
a half million dollars. The Dominion
government has SO much faith in the
enterprise that it has granted to the COM
pany an annual subsidy of Sl70, ,602 for
twenty years. If the earnings of the
road exceed Z per cent, then half the
overplus is to be paid back to the govern
ment until the sum advanced by it has
been replaced. E
The work will be completed in 1892.
The railway will lessen by 500 miles the
distance between the st. Lawrence ports
and the cities of. New York, Boston and
Portland. Its effect on commerce will
be immeasurably great. By being car
ried across Chignecto Marine railway,
American fishing vessels can make two
trips season, instead of one Grain
vessels from the lake ports will reach
New England direct. It means cheap
bread and cheap fish.
Ships will be lifted upon an iron cradle
which rests securely upon wheels. They
win be then conveyed by gigantic loco
motive engines at the rate of ten miles
an hour. The question arises, why not
faster than ten, if at all? The railway
win carry ships of 1000 tons burden. It
is designed especially for the Lake and
fishing trade. Ships will be raised upon
the tracks by means Of hydraulic Lifts,
similar to the kind now used by dock
companies.
