The Last Moments Rarely Witness
Real Physical Suffering.

The Last Moments Rarely Witness
Real Physical Suffering.
It is as natural to die as it is to
live-and as easy. Practically all
the distress witnessed as taking
place in the act of dying is the ap-
tomato tissue struggle against dis
solution and is not recognized By
the individual who seems to be
acutely suffering. Occasionally in
the delirium of fever, in uraemia and
other mtoncations, in certain of the
brain degenerations witnessed il
old age, there is an exhiiaration OF
happy, peaceful calm that pervades
the final scene.
remember one dear lady, Swe-
denborgian, who believed that after
death one would follow the occupa-
ton that had been most congenial
in the present life. This lady was
especially fond of babies, fondling
them and giving them personal care.
When she came to die of linger-
ing, most painful illness, at the final
moment beatifc smile peryaded
her countenance, she beamed in
gentle ecstasy and murmured: "Now
/ see the heavenly light. / see a
baby"
Yet nature is not often so lavish
with her kindness. Usually every
thing is dulled, blunted, so that at
the border line between life and
death it is often difficult, even i'm
possible for a certain time, to say
whether the soul has fed or not. 1t
was long debated In medical circles
whether or not there was a reliable
test for death. Indeed, the tissues
always survive the departure of the
vital spark for a longer or shorter
lime. A muscle Will contract to the
electric current for a considerable
time after the eye is dull, the intel
lect a closed book, the soul on ifs
way. The hair grows palpably after
death.
OF course there are some exeep-
tons, and once in awhile-so ] read
and so l am told-some one dies
really in Conscious terror and pro
test, but / have not seen such a tax
ing of, and I can state candidly that
Of the many scores of deaths that !
have witnessed, in hospital and ont,
among the very poor and very
wealthy, the young and the old, the
pious and the blasphemer, some OF
which have been very painful to be-
hold, in nearly all of them the main
actor at the last moment was not
conscious of what was going on.
The occasional examples of con
scious cheerfulness are the excep-
ton and still more so instances Of
terminal torture.-E. L. Reyes, N.
D., in Harper's Magazine.

AMERICANS IN THE SOUTH.
Another Phase OF immigration as
Seen In Census Reports.
(New Orleans Picayune.l J


The census of 1900 showed that of
the North Atlantic States 22.6 per
cent of the population was Foreign
born, OF the North Central States
the foreign percentage was 15.S. OF
the Western division the foreign ele-
ment was 20.7 per cent On the
other hand, in the South Atlantic
States the foreign element was only
2.1 per cent; in the South Central it
was 2.5 per cent. Thus 1. is seen
that the Southern States are inhabit-
ed by native American population,
while enormous additions of foreign
ers have been made 70 all the North
ern and Western States, as foreign
immigrants during nearly the whole
of the past decade have been coming
in at the rate of nearly a million a
year, so that the next census will
show an enormously increasing pro-
portion of foreigners. 1t would not
be surprising to find that there are
Northern and Western States that
will show by next years census a pre-
dominence Of foreigners.
If such state Of things should in
duce native Americans from such
States to seek associations and con-
ditfons more to their tastes, nothing
could be more natural That there
is steady flow of Northern people
seeking homes in the South has be-
come more noticeable feature of the
recent drift of population, and that
1t will steadily increase is to be con-
fidently expected 1t is certain that
many have come to Louisiana, where
they have found conditions Of climate
and of agriculture greatly to their ad-
vantage, while business opportuni-
ties are offered on every hand to capt.
tai and enterprise.

Blind Preacher Lynched.

Talbotton, Ga, June 24.-After
being taken from his house Saturday
night by a posse, the body of a blind
negro travelling preacher was found
near here yesterday in a creek. He
had made speeches urging negroes
not to work for whites, which an
gered the whites. The public indig-
nation against him was further in
famed by the fact that he stopped
at the house Of the negro, William
Carroker, who was lynched Tuesday
night.

with such views he would have scorn-

a retort Of being Bourbon and Plu-

Edgefield barnyard, and going out
into civilization has broadened his
views and he forgets his pitchfork.

SALOON WRECKED BY BOMB.
Thirtieth of Mysterious Series i'm Chi
cagO--A Number Hurt.


Chicago, ILL.,, June 25.--Another
bomb, the thirtieth of a mysterious
series during the last two years,
wrecked the saloon Of Manning &
Doves at 321 State street, here to-
day, causing loss of $4,000. Win
dows in a nearby department store
and restaurant were shattered by
the force Of the explosion.
Michael Yargarbarkin, who was
asleep at his fruit stand near the
place, who was buried under the
debris, was rescued and taken to a
HOSPITAL. James West, who was pass
ing the saloon at the time, sustained
slight injuries. Corporal Benjamin
Bertwhistle, l.. Martin, VIM. Freder-
icks and Henry Rutrough, of the
United States army recruiting sta
ton, were thrown from their beds in
the recruiting Office above the saloon.
They were not hurt.
Whether the bomb was thrown in
the so-caled gamblers war, which
has mystified the police FOR long
time, or Was thrown as the result of
personal quarrel at the proprietors
Of the saloon, Is not known. The
police exp. .ssed a belief in the lat
terry theory.

Sh NV himself cry out when he saw
this boy led to his death, 81 alone
am responsible; this young man was
under my orders; he only obeyed;
il anyone IS to die let 1t be me-" Ah,
1t was asking toe much, for Shaw,
brave as he was, aud willing as thou
sands are to meet death when 1t
comes, but, like millions more, he
would avert 1t until the last hour, for
his life was more precious to him
than the life of another man. But
If Shaw had possessed the heart and
soul of Davis he would have been
hung in his stead, and the story of
Damon and Pythias, coming down to
us from the mists of antiquity, would
have been repeated; but not in all
respects, for in the ancient story both
the friends were saved, and in the
modern one must surely die, for Di-
onysius. tyrant though he was, could
spare for fidelity, but war knows
neither age, nor youth, nor pity.
Shaw acted just as others would have
acted; Davis acted as only he could
act. He sat on the coffin in the
wagon, which was to hold his body
when the spirit had fed, and. no king
in the robes Of purple was ever more
princely than this young man in his
faded uniform, and none has ever
lived to rule people who had as fine
a soul as beneath the royal rose, for
Davis gave his life,, and it was all he
had to give. To Save it was worth
to him all the domains Of all the rul-
ers Of earth. 1t was above the price
Of all the Jewels that ever glittered in
coronets. But precious as 1t was, it
was not worth his honor and his
sense of duty. "
When the scaffold Is reached Davis
mounts 1t is If he Is ascending a
throne. He asks with perfect com
posure how long he has to live, and
is told that fifteen minutes Is all that
is left of life for him. There is the
dangling rope that is to strangle the
fair young throat and stop the part
Ing breath. Davis asks for news of
the war, and is told Of the reverses of
the Confederates at MissionaryRidge
He expresses his regret, and then,
with tinge of sadness, said, after
this the boys will have to fight their
battles without me-"
The hearts of his executioners were
melted with pity that one so young
had to die, and the duty which stern
war had imposed upon them could
not prevent the signs from being
manifest. The execntioner even apol-
ogized for his cruel work, when Davis
assured him that he did not blame
him; that he knew he was only doing
his duty. A courier was sent from
the headquarters of Gen. Dodge, and
again his life was offered to him for
his secret, but he again refused to
divulge it, and finally said, 81 would
die a thousand deaths before l would
betray friend"
How sweet it Is to live; how hard
1t is to die! What efforts do we make
to ward off the end; how we struggle
with brain and hand for existence, for
the worlds triumphs and it's joys.
How we ply the oar blades in those
frail barks which hold mortality, and
resist as long as we can the onward
sweep of the waters Of that strange
life. But whether we will or not,
our boats sail out on the mystic sea,
vanish from sight, and from out of
the darkness never a sound Is heard,
never light is seen. Did this young
man want to live as he stood there
