4 con STU rIONAL CONTENTION,

J 1t is expected that constitutions
bill will be presented to the Demo
, cratic caucus this week, and with few
If any, changes the Legislature is Ell
pected to pass and the Governo,
sign it.
1t is so framed that the people vii
have little say in the matter, excep,
to accept or defeat the measure when
presented for their suffrages. 1t is
really no constitutional bill at all, fol
this is generally understood to mean
that the people have a right to pull
down, dlssect, make over or make
new entirely the constitution of the
balllwlck they are legisla,ing upon.
AS a rule, this bill enables them to do
nothing, the restrictions taking the
matter out Of their hands and put
ting it into those of the Legislature.
We are in sad plight in Lou.
isiana, truly. If ever a State was
ridden, down-trodtlen, debiDit ated,
warped, weakened, hampered by her
politicians, it Is ours. These are
gourmandisers with appetites az m
sat,able as the vampire. Nothing ia
pubic way is permitted, if they can
control IT, that does not redoand TO
their interest and extend their power,
However, under the circumstances,
considerable patriotism WAS shown in
framing that bill. It has been seven
days wonder, and will no doubt con-
time longer that il did not proside
that no election should be held ia
1889, but that Peter Trezp want should
be the Governor for the succeeding
eight years. A. NJ, Hewitt, Lieutsn~

FEsslaN.
John Bly,, a resident of Pennsylsa
MIA, who died Few days ago.. Was
found at the time Of his death to- he
altogether withoM brains. There is, nc
parallel to this remarkable case, on
record, and the physicians of Renn-
sylvsnia are completely puzzled by
this strange discovery. BY suffered
for long time With tumor which
grew into the base OF his brsia and
eventually caused bis DEATH. The
growth had visible effect upon the
mans brain. 1t was so located Us 10
demorslize the nerves of the sight
center, and, as consequence, young
Bly, was blind for three years.
1t was developed at the autopsy
that the entire brain had been hol-
lowed out by the action Of tho tumor.
Tue cavity WAS at least five inches in
length and WAS filed with pns. All
that was left of the brain was a shin
shell, composed of the tougher It's
sues, which were less susceptible to
the process of decay. When an in
ci>ion was made in tho she'll the
whole mass collapsed.
The circumstances which made the
case almost unprecedented in the an.
nails of medical science was the man.
ner in which the patient retained his
nationality and facalties under the
circumstances. He had the sense Of
touch, taste, hearing ani smell; had
very tolerable control of his locomo-
tor muscles, could talk, and, in fact,
was comparative] y DISCONNECTED in
no other way than by tie loss of Wis
ion. His retention of memory was
remarkable. He was able to memo
rize poems up to within two weeks of
his death.-Atlsnta Constitution.
