An extraordinary event led Lassone,
physician to Louis XVI Of France, to
abandon his anatomical studies. While
selecting from among some dead bodies a
suitable subject for dissection he imagined
that one Of them showed doubtful signs
of death and sought to revive a life which
was perhaps not extinguished His efforts
were crowned with success. He cured the
man, and as he was poor nourished and
supported him, but the idea Of having
been on the point of committing a crime
so affected Lassone that he felt himself
unable to pv.sue his accustomed labors
and from that time forward the study Of
natural history and chemistry took the
place Of that of anatomy. New York Ad-

BREcKINRIDet VIII CONTEST
He WIN Make Fignt for the Nomina-
tion Before the Committee.


LEXINGTON, KY, Sept 1s-There seems
to be no doubt about Colonel Breckenridge
making fight for the nomination before
the district committee, on which all possi-
BILE pressure has been brought to light.
Breckinridge last night made public a
statement in which he says he secured a
majority Of the legal Democratic votes of
the district and that fraud was practiced
against him in several counties.
This committee is composed of one
member from each county. Fayette coun-
ty the home of Breckenridge, has two
legislative districts, and hence two mem
bers OF this committee, each of the other
seven counties having one. The member
OF the state Democratic committee for the
Seventh district is the tenth member of
the committee, which was known to stand
six for Breckenridge and four anti-Breck-
inridge.
As the committee has done everything
in its power in fixing a late date for the
primaries, adopting the challenge rule
and everything else, he wanted, the Owens
men were alarmed on finding out that the
Breckenridge agents were at work with a
view to presenting evidence for a contest
before this committee next Saturday.
Corrected loflical returns from the
eight counties of the Ashland district
show a plurality of $40 for Owens over
Breckenridge.
