IN A TRANCE.
A Physician Supposed to BE Dead
Returns to Life.

A Physician Supposed to BE Dead
Returns to Life
From ThOmasville, a thriving little
town on the Mobile. & Birmingham
road, 102 miles north of Mobile, comes
story that is heard but seldom, and
then, too, much credencc cannot be
placed therein, for nine times out of
ten there is a certain prevaricatiOn or
a knack of distorting and stretching the
facts that knocks the truth out of the
tale. But here is a true story:
Last Sunday morning there died, to
all appearances, at Thomasyille, a well
known physician Of that place, DR..
John w. Brand. He had lately re-
moved from Randolph county, and was
about siXty-five years of age. He suf-
fered several weeks from various COM
plications, and, finally the watchers at
his bedside, one of whom was his son,
saw him draw, apparently, his last
breath and sink into the unconscious
ness of death. The body was taken
charge of by his friends washed and
dressed in the customary shroud, and
laid out in the parlor.
An hour or two later the few friends
seated in the room with the corpse no
ticed a slight twitching of the fingers
of the deceased. They were somewhat
startled, but did not lose their self
possession and flee from the room, as
is ordinarily done under such circum-
stances. Instead, they repaired to the
side of the doctor and watched him
closely. Then 4 movement of almost
the entire body was noticed, q slight
CONFUSION, in fact. Then two pieces of
money that had been placed over the
eyes of the dead man fell off, and he
made an effort to open his eyes This
satisfied those gathered around him
that life was still within the remains,
and the body was tenderly carried back
to the bod from which he had been
removed q short while before a sup
posed corpse DR.. Brand received ev-
cry care and he slowly revived. His
first words, when appraised of his con-
dition, were
"HOw long was ] dead?"
All preparations for the removal of
the body to his home in Randolph corn-
ty had been made by the son of DR..
Brand, and it was arranged to ship the
remains by the Mobile & Birmingham
train that passed through brownsville
Sunday night. DR.. Brands daughter
was at the Selma depot to receive the
body of her father, but instead was re-
joiced to receive the welcome news
from Conductor Burns, of the Mobile
& Birmingham train, that her parent
was still alive.
Conductor Broadstreet, of the Mobile
& birmingham road, stated to a report
er that when he passed Thomasville
yesterday morning Dr., Brand was alive
and improving. d.

5 feet high and just as pleasant and
full of attractive womaHly ways as the

morning she would convince me. l ac-

Just as it was getting light we came
across a Notwithstanding animal, which
frightened me to death. l turned to
run, shouting to her to follow. Her
only answer was laugh. followed by

she had disabled with her first shot
and which was making the most alb

the lion and had begged her to let me
shoot it for her, she forgot her promise

How Slaves Treated rheumatism.

Every colored man of the old slavery
days understood the treatment of rheu-
matism, often better than the; most
skilled medical graduate. The colored
people are peculiarly subject to rheu-
matism and learned to treat it them
selves with great success. The system
that they employed was that of me-
chanical manipulating and consisted of
rubbing, punlmeling and ppessne with
the hand or by means of compress.
If one method did not answer they
tried another and in one of the three
were almost certain to secure relief
and by persistent use permanent
cure.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Hard to Do,

The following article was clipped
from the Keyser Echo of last week,
and contains some plain facts that
cannot be controyerted:
"Mr. White, in his speech at
Mountain Lake Park, incidentally
referred to the single tax plan as
the panacea for all national financial
ills. He fonnd fault with the tax
on visible goods because it had to
come out of the consumer, must
inevitably do so. Taxing the mer-
chant is, so he said, taxing the man
who buys the goods. His remedy
is to tax coal and iron and other
minerals in the earth, before they
are mined, and thus force the
owners to bring them out for the
public. Isn't it a nice scheme?
Who has any accurate knowledge
about the extent or quality Of coal
and iron and silver and gold or any
other ores until the mine has been
developed? What q travesty of
justice it would be to tax an
unopened mine' Who can tell
with certainty whether, when
opened, it would "pan OUT or
"peter out?' Then again, what
would prevent the tax from ulti-
mately coming upon the consumer?
Can you make a man sell his coal
or iron cheaper by making it cost
him more? How any man of so Der,
every day common sense can see
anything in the single tax theory
passes our comprehension

It's a pain rather than a pleas
uro to reply to Prof. Hayseed
whose literary attainments adorned
the illiterate Oakland Democrat last
week. We penetrated the vital
spark Of his physiogomy which
ignited his soul and he resorted to
the press to give vent to his
feyered brow.
We have heard Of bandits, des-
peradoes, and gends, but we have
never had the pleasure of hearing
of 'EHayseed' before, and we
have desire of meeting and form
ing an acquaintance with such q
phenomena.
His babyish attack reminds us Of
a small dog trying to resent an
unmerciful assault from wounded
bear. A poodle will snap at his
antagonist whether he catches him
or not.
After close perusal of his arti.
Gle, we are thoroughly convinced
that his assault was Of peniten-
tial attitude. The accusation that
we brought against our dearly be-
loved official are true and he knows
it.
We learn that Prof. "Hayseed"
