II was present at the autopsy of a noted

said John A.. Holiday. of Troy, N. Y, to Il
Globe Democrat reporter, "and I was star
tied and shocked at what I saw. The deal
man was about 60 years old and had been
the town drunkard for forty years. The
doctors had surmised that when they cut
his head open a pronounced smell of alco-
hol would issue from the skull. l thought
it only one of those grim sort of jokes that
the Esculapians indulge in sometimes when
they are carving a fellow-man to mince
meat in the interest Of their science. But
I soon learned that it was no joke, for when
the surgeons saw had cut off the top of the
mans skull the odor of alcohol than filled
the room was strong enough to almost
sioken one. Then one of the surgeons
struck a match and held it close to the
brain. Immediately a blue flame enveloped
the entire portion of the cerebral organ ex-
posed, and the quivering flesh sizzled as if
on a gridiron. That experiment and dis
closure set me to very seriously thinking
about the error of my way. l am not a

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION BILL

At the conclusion of Mr.. Munfords
speech, which was extended at some
length by indulgence of the Chair, the
Kent railroad commission bill came up as
q special order.
Mr.. J.. Thompson Brown. of Bedford,
took the floor and opened the discussion.
He prefaced his remarks by saying that
there was no man in the State WHO more
fully recognized the value OF railroads to
the State OF Virginia. Notwithstanding
this. however, he thought they should be
amenable to just and reasonable regula-
tious tor their government. :.
The Speaker then cited numerous we'll
authenticated instances of unjust DIS
elimination. NJ Brown said that. like
Mr.. James, he thought failure to pass the
bill would be detrimental to the interests
of the Democratic party.
MIR. Hoge, of Scott, the next speaker,
also advocated the bill. II am from q
county," said he, that has been Republi-
can for the last twelve years, and am the
first Democrat that has been elected from
there in that time. | want to say. Mr..
Speaker, and gentlemen of the House, that
/ was elected specially on the principle OF
having railroad commission bill passed,
and think we should have railroad bill.
am well satisfied that If you do not heed
the warning Of the people and pass law
extending some relief, the county repre-
sent will in the next election be carried by
the Republicans.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hoge's remarks
the House adjourned.

HIS CLOSING APPEAL.
A. NInnfnrl mid

In conclusion MIR. Munf0rd saiu
And now, Mr.. Speaker, | invoke for this
measure the considerate Judgment OF the
members of this body. No higher call can
be made upon your patriotism. No labor
which could engage your Efforts viii bs SO
productive of good to the Commonwealth.
The unsettled condition of our public debt
has been more prolific of INJURY to VIZ
GINA than any and all other influences cou-
bined, which during the past twenty years
have contributed to retard her prosperity
and disturb her peace.
To a Commonwealth held like felon at
the bar OF the Federal Courts it brings an
acauittai. To State arraigned before
the world for wilful violation OF her
plighted faith it brings the assurance OF
her creditors confidence by his surrender
of an obligation secured by lien upon her
revenues for one depending alone for pay
ment upon her honor. To people rent
with divisions and weary with strlfe-en-
gendered by the discussions OF the sub
ject-it comes like benediction bearing
peacs for the present and hope for the
future.
Profoundly impressed with the manifold
benefits which will accrue to virginia Dy
the consummation of this settlement, aud
believing that as whole the measure be-
fore us makes reasonable provision for
carrying 1t into effect, / commend 1t to
the thought and conscience of the repre-
sentatives of the people upon tins floor.

The nomination OF Senator George T.
Werts OF this County to fill the vacancy
on the bench of the Supreme Court &C.
casioned by the death Of Justice Knapp,
was genuine surprise--as much so to
himself as TO the people OF the State.
There can be little doubt that II was die
tated, partially at least, by the desire 10
take him out OF the contest for the Demo-
cratic Gubernatorial nomination, the party
leaders having ascertained that their de-
termination to "turn him down" for that
Office could not be accomplished as easily
as they thought. His acceptance OF the
Judgeship relieves their embarrassment in
this particular, and their candidate for
Governor, when the leaders have finally
settled upon his name, will undoubtedly
have a united party behind him.
Though the assignment of Judges to the
several Circuits is 10 the hands OF the Su.
preme Court Justices, 1t is understood
that Judge Werts win succeed Knapp in
Hudson County, and it will be trying
position for him. or bis ability TO ill the
place with credit there is no question.
He is well read lawyer, he has an analy.
teal mind and judicial temperament,
and he is instinctivey an upright, just
and fair-minded man. We believe, too,
that whatever hopes may be entertained
to the contrary by the law breaking ele-
ments of Hudson County whom Judge
Knapp was so strongly denouncing when
he gave up his life, he will follow 10 the
footsteps Of that distinguished magistrate
and set bis face vigorously against law
lessness and crime OF every grade.

CLARK PIERs0N, Editor.

Some OF our exchanges have thought
1t worth while to notice the idiotic idea
o. man living 10 the eastern part Of this
State, who claims that Washington and
his army did not cross the Delaware 10
boats previous to the battle of Trenton,
but on raft, made so long, that when
the upper end was pushed out into the
stream it swung over to the Jersey shore,
thus forming bridge upon which the
army passed over. A raft over an eighth
of mile long, against which huge cakes
OF ice are constantly striking and back
ing up, and piling on top of II, the few
moments that it may hold together,
would be just the kind OF an affair for the
crossing of such fellows as this writer !;
but the "men of '76" wanted 10 go to Trer-
ton-not to the bottom Of the river--and
so chose boats.
