DIApHRAGMATIc HERNIA - A
REMARKABLE CAsE.-An antop-
sia in the case of Fl. G. Ander-
son, who died at the Seattle Hos
pital on Sunday night, was made
by DR.. Weed, twelve hours after
death, with the following result.
Drs. Sparkling, Baker and Cal

On opening the body nearly
all of the anterior and superior
portion of the left pleural soc
was found to be occupied by an
abscess, evidently Of long stand
ing and only partially filled with
pus; and a loap of intestine
the transverse colon = about
twelve inches in length, was
found protruding through the
diaphragm and adherent to it
together with a portion of the
cardiac end Of the stomach. The
abscess was found to communi
cate with the loap of intestine
and had evidently discharged its
contents through it into the
bowels. Fecal matter was also
found in the cavity Of the chest
The heart was found displaced
from it's normal position on thu
left side, having been forced t.
the right by the distension o
the abscess and the protrusion o
the intestine within the cavity
The lung was found collapsed
and forced back against the pos
terror wall of the chest.

A GREAT HAUL OF MACKEREL.-The
fabulous amount of mackerel secured
yesterday off the cliffs and beach is the
principal topic of conversation. About
125, 900 mackerel were seined yesterday
in our waters by 16 steamers and a num-
Der of smaller fishing craft. The fish

round numbers $4,000. Men were at
work all night getting them ready for
the Providence and Boston markets.
All yesterday the cliffs We're lined with
ladies and gentlemen catching ..mackerel
by the slower but more interesting
method of the hook and line. As many
as fifty people were fishing from the
forty steps, and people had to take care
not to get on other peoples hooks in
stead of their own. What makes the
haul more remarkable is that mackerel
were never before caught here in any
quantity. The steamers all came here
for the fall fishing of menhaden, out of
which oil and fertilizers are made

A New PROCESS OF MAKING BREAD
NJ. Cecil, a French engineer, has inven-
ted new process of preparing the
materials for making bread, which has
received the approval of the Minister of
War and will hereafter be adopted in
the French army. By this process an
increased per centage of the nutritive
properties Of grain is retained 50 that
by avoiding the usual grinding and wet
ting the grain that would make lis
pounds Of bread in the ordinary way
will make what is equivalent to 140
pounds. The new process is described
as follows The unground grain is first
stepped in water, after which it is plac-
ed in revolving cylinders, by which it is
deprived of its outer husk, which con-
tains but four or five per cent. Of nutri-
menS. The grains are then softened by
forming them into thin sponge, and
keeping them for a space of six to eight
hours at a temperature of seventy-seven
degrees Fahrenheit They are then
crushed under and made into dough
with salt and water, as usual.

AN apparatus for washing smoke, and
thus depriving it of its character of a
nuisance, IS in operation at factory at
Menimontant Paris. A f-ie shower of
water, travelling in the direction of the

projected into the chimney, where it
mixes with the smoke, taking up the
soluble gases and preapitating the i'm
purities carried up with the smoke by the
draught. The foul water is discharged
into cistern, where it is collected aud
fine black paint is got from it.

IT is striking fact surely that the

death bed call forth no responsive tears

his fathers hand as if to gain strength
in the mortal struggle, and leans on the
breast of his mother, sister or brother in
still unconscious affection. Just before
expiring he calls the loved ones, and
says, with quivering lips, ''kiss me, -
showing that the love which he has ever
borne in his heart is still fresh and warm,

point too deep for weeping. They are

On the 18th of May last registered
letter containing e10 English money
was put in the New York Postofice for
New Lebanon, N. Y, and some six
weeks afterward the Postoffice Depart
ment received a complaint of its non
delivery. A careful investigation was
made, and the letter was traced into the
hands of the mail agent, who declared
that he had put the package in the
pouch for New Lebanon, but the Post
master at that place declared he had
never received the package, The route
agent having failed to report the refusal
of the Postmaster to receipt for the
package had it been delivered, or other
wise having failed to deliver it, was dis
charged, and the matter rested until the
Postmaster at Bristol, Pa. reported a
registered package for New Lebanon as
having carelessly been sent to his office.
Inquiry revealed the fact that this was
the package lost last May. It is sup
posed that the pouch, after being emp
tied at New Lebanon, was returned to
the New York office, and was stored
away with the reserved pouches until
the time it was again put to use for the
BRISTOL mail, and that the registered let
ter in question had lain in it during the
whole period. The Postmaster at New
Lebanon has been recommended for re-
moval, for negligence in failing to see
that the pouch was entirely emptied
when he received it. The package has
finally reached the person to whom it
was addressed.

got paid for closing their eyes are no" on
trial while in Chicago the officers who never
opened their eyes while this whisky fraud


was going on, and got no pny, hive not been
even indicted.


The whisky frauds in Chicago have there


fore been far more profitable than those in


st. Louis. Estimating the grapevine whisky


produced in each city at 5000, 900 gal


Ions, and the average tar avoided at G5 cents


gallon, the profit in each city was within d


fraction of $2,0o0,0o In st. Louis the


regular and the special e1actions by the rev


enue officers were about one-half, leaving a


million Of dollars to the trade and q million


of dollars to the revenue officers.


In Chicago the distllers and rectiaers
pocketed the whole two millions of dollars,
and there was not Collector, or Inspect
or: or Special Agent, or Supervisor, or
Deputy, even Clerk at Washington,-
who ever even asked for q few dollars out Of
this large sum of two millions plundered
from the Government


Can such an instance Of official abstinence
and official integrity be pnralleled? It is so
extraordinary TINT there will be persons all
over the country who will question its truth,
and who will deny that 100000 gallons
Of whisky could have been manufactured and
put on the market in Chicago without the
faintest knowledge or suspicion on the part
Of the Federal officers and who will insist
that such profound ignorance could only have
been the result Of some such corruption as has
been disclosed at st. Louis.


But We have the assurance Of the law Off
GERS Of the Government and Of the Grand
Jury that no evidence has ever been discov-
cred pointing to any division by the whisky
operators Of any part Of their dishonest gains
with any Government officers. Tt is just
possible that, at some time, the t'trade" may
have contributed to what was called poit-
ical fund, but We do not know TINT even this
was shown to the Grand Jury. There is,
however, difference in the character of the
witnesses here and in st. Louis. There, the
frankly confessing their own
guilt, went into court and told the whole
story. Here, up to this time, none Of our
operators have made disclosure, and, having
none to make, they propose to 90 into court,
be tried, convicted, and sentenced, as men
who deliberately and systematically plum
dered the Treasury, and never divided dol
lar Of their gains with an officer or politician.

Superintendent HICKEY, Oh Friday night,
furnished the public with evidence of what
he can do when he tries, and at the same
time conclusive evidence Of how long that
able and competent officer has been drawing


his pay without rendering the service he


could have SO readily performed There is


no officer on the police force who has the


personal knowledge Of the thieves, pick


pockets, confidence men, bunko- steerers,


gamblers, md vagrants, that Superintendent


HICKEY has, and therefore no officer is SO


the law requires them. If SO disposed he


could nd Chicago Of every gambler and con-


fdence man now doing business here. Hecould


break up the bunlo-shops, drive out the


vagrants, close the murderous dives, and


break up the mock-auction business Here


tofore it has been said that to do anything of


this kind required an order from the Police


Board. Then it required an order from


Superintendent REHM Then it was that the


City MarshM was in the way.


Now, however, Capt. HICKEY is Police
Board, Marshal, and Superintendent in his
own person. There is no one to restrain
him in the discharge Of his duties. He
stands supported by the law and the moral
sense of the community, and opposed to him
are the criminal population. Now is his op-
portunity. All know his ability. All know
his personal courage. Does he desire to
make his official record honorable for activity
and efficiency? Does he desire the commen-
dations and respect of the people OF Chicago?
He knows that the most disgraceful and
criminal saloons in this city are the under
ground and overground drinking houses which
are unlicensed. He can close these by force
at any moment. He has the authority to
report to the Mayor every other disorderly
s61oon where men and women, boys aud
girls, thieves and prostitutes associate, and
have them closed up These places are all
dence men and bunIo-steerers off the streets,
and arrest them as vagrants wherever he
finds them. He can gather the Grim
inal classes Of both sexes from the
streets, and place them out Of sight.
He can prevent crime and disorder
by removing the occasions for the one and
the agents Of the other. He can make Chi
cago SO improbable for gamblers that that
will be measurably abandoned. /
In short, he can have strong and healthy
exercise Of police authority, md win for him |
self q credit which the people Of Chicago
have been long waiting to bestow upon the !

| A writer in the current number Of the Pop
sxzar Science Monthly recalls some curious in-
stances Of the acute development Of certain
mental faculties in disease,-a phenomenon
that must have been remarked in some of its
phases in almost every personal experience.
It IS curious instance Of the connection be-
tween the mind md body, and the mutual
influence Of one over the other. It is protean
in character, and apt at any time to manifest
itself in some novel form. The loss or in
pairment Of one sense or faculty intensifes
the power of another, and physical prostra-
hons Of q similar nature generally produce
the same sort Of mental phenomena The
imagination, perception, and memory seem to
be the most impressionab1e faculties subject
to physical influences. The imagination, IN
deed, has been known to produce death when
the physical ailment was not sufficient to
warrant such result; while courage,
on the other hand, has not un-
frequently enabled men stricken with
disease to overcome the rayogos Of
abused nature. It has been estimated that
large proportion OF the deaths Of cho1ern
VISITATION result from LQe lerrOr1SQ WHICH
the epidemic produces in community. This
danger is distinctly recognized BY physicians,
whose duty it is to combat the mental terror
they encounter as much as the germs Of the
disease, the one being almost as readily CON-
municated Us the other. Among the recent
deaths in Chicago is one that is known to
have been the result Of mingled sentiment
and imagination The death Of lifelong
frienei was followed by depression Of spirits,
which took the formidable shape Of inaagin-
ing the same disease as that which had
afflicted his deceased friend. To add to the
intensity Of this mental prostration the family
physician died, and, few weeks after, this
victim Of diseased imagination WAS carried
off in the very prime Of life, and with
sufficient physical resources for many years
to come, had they not been impaired by men,

case. The effect Of the imagination is Illus

Professor Tice, the me,eerclogis, to

concerning the physical perturbations
which accompanied the late equinox

renee of pertubations at these equinox
es, but that they begin to manifest
themselves as carly as twenty five
days anterior to the occurrence Of the
equinox, and may continue as many
days subsequent to it. The exact day
of bad weather cannot be foretold, nor
