IITMM THE WIDE WORLD. A Catalogue of the Week’s Important Occurrences Concisely Summarized. Intelligence by Electric Wire from Every Quarter of the Civilized World. LATEST DISPATCHES. NEBRASKA PROHIBITIONISTS. They Hold a Convention, Nominate a Ticket, and Adopt a Platform. The Nebraska State Prohibition party held its convention at Lincoln on the 17th inst. Forty-four counties, with 346 delegates. comprised the gathering that was the largest Prohibition convention yet held in Nebraska. H. W. Harvey, the Prohibition candidate for Governor last fail, presided. Speeches and resolutions took up the greater part of the day. The platform adopted declares constitutional and statutory prohibition to be the vital question of the day. It denounces license, high and low, as public bribery and crime, favors pensions, favors woman suffrage, declares for the Government control of railroads and telegraphs, and demands the repeal of the law that admits foreigners to vote in municipal elections upon declaration of intention and before naturalization. The convention nominated as their candidate for Supremo Judge J. F. Abbott, of Crete; and for Kegents of the State University the Kev. J. D. Newell, of Salem, and the Kev. S. H. Hilton, of Central City. The delegates from the Second Judicial District nominated Mrs. Ada M. Bittenbender as their candidate for District Judge. The lady is a member of the bar, and a successful practitioner, who asserts that there are no legal disqualifications should she be elected. pennsylvaniaTrepublicans. Hart for Treasurer and Williams for Supreme Judge—Blaine Indorsed. There was a noticeable absence of prominent politicians at the Pennsylvania Republican State Convention which was held at Harrisburg on the 17th inst. Adjutant General Hastings was chosen Chairman, with a long list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. While the Committee on Platform was preparing its report nominations were made, resulting in the choice by acclamation of Captain William B. Hart for State Treasurer, and Henry W. Williams for Supreme Court Judge. The platform subsequently reported and adopted favors tariff “for the sake of furthering American manufactures;” declares that the surplus in the National Treasury cannot be better expended than in the enlargement of the general pension list so as to include all honorably discharged Union soldiers and sailors; demands more rigorous laws for the restriction of immigration; denounces President Cleveland for “furthering sectionalism” and refusing to grant pensions to “soldiers eminent in their efforts to sustain the Government”; indorses Blaine for the Presidency, and extends sympathy to Gladstone and Parnell in their efforts on behalf of Ireland. Stanford Answers. Senator Stanford’s answer to the rule issued upon him by the United States Court at San Francisco, to appear and show cause why he should not he compelled to answer certain questions propounded him by the Pacific Railway Commission, was filed on Thursday. Senator Stanford pleads forgetfulness of details, the impropriety of making public the private business of the Central Pacific Company, and the hardship which would be involved in the exposure of its secrets to competing companies as among the reasons why he should not bo compelled to answer the questions. He avers that he has never corrupted nor attempted to corrupt any member of the Legislature or any member of Congress or any public official, and has never authorized any one else to do so. Serious Railroad Accident. An express train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad flew the track as it was approaching the station at Washington, and crashed into a three-story brick building used by the company as a signal-tower. The engineer was killed and about thirty others injured, some of them dangerously. The wreck was caused by a failure of the air-brakes. Parnell. Mr. Parnell, according to cable advices, has neither the strength nor the wish for another collision between his own followers and the Speaker, backed by the rest of the House. The Irish may undoubtedly wreck the land bill if they choose on the question of the method of revising rents. Some of them wish to wreck it. Mr. Parnell does not. Should violent counsels prevail he prefers leaving the responsibility to others. Cleveland to Be in Chicago Oct. 5. Colonel Lamont says that it has been definitely determined by the President io go direct to St. Louis without a break; that the time of departure will be fixed so as to bring him into St. Louis “Veiled Prophet’s” Day; and that he will then proceed straight to Chicago, to arrive there Oct. 5. Caught at Last. Jake Pettijohn, of Forsythe County, Georgia, was sentenced to death thirty years ago for murder. He made his escape, and has just been arrested in Indian Territory. He will be taken back to Georgia for execution. Grand Army Reunion. A rate has been made of one cent a mile to the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic at St. Louis from points east of the Mississippi River, coming into competition with the Central Traffic Association roads. EAST. Henry S. Ives & Co., of New York, bave made an assignment to Sullivan & Cromwell, the announcement causing intense excitement on the Stock Exchange. The liabilities are figured at between $10,00(1,000 and $20,000,000, with the assets slightly m excess of the latter amount. Bulls and bears seemed overjoyed at the news, believing that the stock market would show an immediate improvement. A fire, originating in Masonic Hall, Pittsburgh, destroyed that and a number of other buildings. The loss will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. WEST? The White River Utes are on the warpath, and are in force under the old renegade, Chief Colorow, at Meeker, Col., the scene of the great massacre. The whites are abandoning their ranches, and consternation prevails. In a brush between the Sheriff of Garfield County and the reds, occasioned by an attempt to arrest two indicted bucks, one Indian was shot. The Governor has been telegraphed to for assistance, and the attention of the War Department has been called to the outbreak. Professor Talbert made a balloon nsccu?iOß at Cullom, 111., and what fol*

lowed is thus told in a dispatch from that place: The balloon arose about 1,000 foot in the air and sailed away in a northwest direction. Soon after starting it wm discovered to bo on fire, smoke rolling from tho top in clouds. By this time it had sailed about one mile away. Then it began to come down faster and faster, until it approached the earth with a rush. Professor Talbert escaped severe injury only by his good luck, which has followed him in several ascensions before. About all that was left of tho balloon was tho rings on tho bottom. Tho excitement of the people was intense. Professor Tolbert was brought into town in a buggy with tho remains of the balloon. Ho was only slightly hurt. The list of dead from tho Chatsworth wreck, as revised and corrected by men on the ground, gives a total of eighty-live. Os these the name and residences of seventy-six are known, leaving nine bodies yet to be identified. In addition to the killed there were 129 persons dangerously injured. Two hundred more received minor cuts and bruises, making a total of over 100 killed or wounded in the wreck. About a dozen more are expected to die of their wounds. The funerals of many of the victims of the disaster took place Sunday at their late homes. I. O. Baker, professor of civil engineering in the State University at Champaign, who has made a careful examination of the engineering problems of the disaster, concludes that the incendiary theory is without foundation. He believes the culvert caught lire from the grass burned by the section men in the vicinity on the afternoon of the accident. A special dispatch from Chicago says: “The State’s Attorney’s assistants are preparing a review of the McGarigle-St. John case for presentation to Gov. Oglesby as the basis of a request from the Governor to the Secretary of State that this Government ask the Canadian Government to ship back McGarigle. The two sailors from the Blake who are at present in Chicago bave made affidavits implicating St. John and Capt Irving in the escape. The wheat crop of Dakota is now estimated at 60,000,000 bushels, an increase of 2,000,000 over last year. The quality is excellent. The Illinois Board of Agriculture reports that there has been no improvement in the condition of corn throughout tho State during the past week, notwithstanding the rains. The potato crop will be short, and the fruit prospects are bad. The outlook for fall pasturage is very gloomy. The recent rains throughout the West have saved a large portion of the crops, although much of the damage inflicted by the drought was beyond repair. The general tenor of tho advices from Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin points to a short yield of corn, potatoes, grass, fruits, and vegetables. A dispatch from Leon, lowa, says: “A band of masked men, numbering about thirty rode into town from the west, went quietly to the jail, and demanded the keys of Sheriff Honuold, and, on his refusing to give them up, they went to work with sledges and hammers and knocked tho locks off. There were five steel doors to go through, and it took them nearly two hours to accomplish the work. When they succeeded in getting into the jail they took out James Reynolds, confined for committing an assault on Mrs. Noble two weeks ago. He was taken to a bridge just at the west end of town and a rope was placed around his neck and the other end made fast. He was then given an opportunity to make a statement with regard to the crime, but he refused to say a word, and, after waiting about ten minutes for him to speak, tho barrel on which he was standing was kicked from under him and he was left suspended by the neck, and in a few minutes he was dead. The mob then rode quietly away and left him hanging.” An attempt was made to wreck a passenger train on the Burlington and Missouri Railroad by firing a trestle bridge ten miles from Nebraska City. The train was a light one, however, and got over the burning structure in safety. A special dispatch from New Albany, Ind., says: “This city is greatly excited over the news of a suit to set aside the will of the late Washington C. DePauw, who died worth $6,00(1,000. The plaintiff is Mrs. Sarah Ellen Mclntosh, wife of J. A. Mclntosh, of Salem, Ind. Mr. DePauw had three wives; the plaintiff is his only child by his first wife. Two sons are living, the only children of the second wife, and the third wife and her daughter, Susan M. DePauw. To Mrs. McIntosh he willed two poor farms, not worth $5,000, all told, while to his widow and his other three surviving children ho willed what will amount to a million dollars each. Mrs. Mclntosh married against her father’s wish, but she thought he forgave her, as he visited her and was otherwise kind to her, and both she and her father were zealous members of the Methodist Church. She sues to obtain one-sixth of the estate, and makes the natural heirs and all other legatees defendants. Her ground is that the will was unduly executed.” “Df.nny” Wilcox, 10 years old, of Cincinnati, is a hero. He was rowing in the Ohio River with a little miss of 8, when their boat was capsized by the waves from a passing steamer, and both thrown into the water. The boy swam to the girl, seized her by the arm, and with one hand swam to the Ohio shore, saving the little girl as well as himself. SOUTH. The survivors of the Tolliver gang maintain a reign of terror at Moorhead, Kentucky. The Grand Jury, which is now in session, is expected to return a goodly number of indictments against them and others concerned in the recent troubles. Senator Kiddleberger, who was lodged in jail at Winchester, Va., for contempt of court, was rescued by a mob of his friends Friday night. The mob scaled the jail walls and took the Senator out on ladders. WASHINGTON. A Washington dispatch says: “Col. Lamont has measurably satisfied public curiosity in regard to the President’s route' on his prospective Western and Southern trip. The details of the affair have not been entirely arranged, but the general order of proceedings is pretty well settled. The President will leave Washington about Oct. 1, and intends to return not later than the 20th. Between those dates he will cover a good deal of ground and will have to do some lively traveling. The plan is to go direct to St. Louts, perhaps making a brief pause at Indianapolis en route. He will certainly be at St. Louis October 6th and will remain there two or three days. He will then go at once to Chicago, arriving there probably on the Bth. Thence he will journey to Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City, and then will probably strike across the country to Memphis, Nashville, and Atlanta. The southern portion of the trip has not been' conclusively arranged as yet.” The Secretary of the Navy has awarded the contracts for constructing the five new naval vessels for which bids were opened recently. Cruiser No. 1, the Newark, is awarded to Cramp & Sons, for $1,248,000, according to the department’s plans for the hull and the contractors’ plans for the machinery. Cruiser No. 1 is awarded to Cramp A Sons (contractors’ plans) for $1,350,600. Cruiser No. 5 is awarded to the Union Iron-works of San Francisco (department plans for hull and machinery), for $1,128,000. Gunboats Nos. 3 and 4 are awarded to N. F. Palmer, Jr., A Co., of New York (John Roach’s assignees), at $190,000 each. The Secretary of the Interior has revoked the order of withdrawal of indemnity lands for the benefit of the Atlantic I end Pacific Railroad Company, and in r

; long letter to the Commissioner of the General Land Office directs that they may . bo restored to settlement under tho pre-emption and homestead laws. It is stated that between 25,000,000 1 end 30,000,000 acres are involved in this decision in the case of the Atlantic A Pacific Company alone. The order also applies to all the other railroads named in the Secretary’s rules of May 23 last, except 1 the St. Paul, Minneapolis A Manitoba, the Hastings A Dakota, the St. Paul A Pacific, the St. Paul A Sioux City, the Sioux City A St. Paul, and the Winona A St. Peter. These are still under consideration and undecided. George W. Julian, the Surveyor General of New Mexico, in his annual report to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, says that about 4,000,000 acres of land have been illegally withheld from settlement within the last year... .Prepayment of interest on registered bonds to the amount of $13,494,600 has been applied for at the Treasury Department in response to Secretary Fairchild's recent circular.... Some of the bills for (ho funeral expenses of Gen. Grant have not yet been paid by the Government, and suit is threatened against the estate of the late Gen. Lloyd Aspinwall, w'ho made himself responsible for their collection. POLITICS. A Washington special to the Chicago News says: Civil-Service Commissioner Edgerton is busy to-night making the final revisions in his report on the alleged violations of the civil-service law in the Chicago Postofiice. Ho said that the reports of the board would probably bo made public tomorrow. “I say reports,” said the Commissioner, “because there will certainly be । two, and the probabilities are that there will । be three. Mr. Lyman has examined my i report and he does not agree with the conclusion which I have drawn. Ho is preparing a report of his own, which, I am inclined to think, will differ radically from . mine. I feel sure, too, that Mr. Oberly will have a report of his own, ■which, while : it may agree with mine in several particulars, will differ with it greatly in many material points.” Mr. Edgerton was asked to - allow his report to be seen, but he declined, ns he said the whole matter would be made public in a day or two at the farthest. Complete returns from the recent election for Governor in Kentucky give Buckner, Democrat, 17,015 plurality over Bradley, Republican... .W. S. Cappellar has been elected Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Ohio. Mr. Cappellar is said to be an advocate of Mr. Blaine for tho Presidency. GENERAL. In a private letter from Mr. Blaine, received at his home in Augusta, he says: “All news and rumors of my coming home or of my ill-health are the invention of the correspondent of the Chicago Newn, who is following me everywhere. I never was better in my life. I have not been ill a moment since I came to Europe. lam coaching daily, and we are all in perfect health. I expect to sail for home Juno next.” % Fred Douglass, w’ho has just returned from an extensive tour of Europe, reports that he was everywhere treated with distinguished consideration, notwithst anding his complexion. Capt. Shepherd, commanding the revenue cutter Rush, reports to tho Treasury Department the capture of one American and three British schooners for taking seals in the Behring Sea contrary to law. The vessels were all sent to Sitka, Alaska, and turned over to tho United States Marshal for prosecution. FOREIGN. Archbishop Walsh, in an interview, takes a hopeful view of the Irish situation. He regards the new land act as a measure of great value to the tenantry, and does not apprehend a rigid enforcement of the coercion act. Within a year or two he expects to see an Irish Parliament at Dublin. Prince Ferdinand has issued a manifesto m which he states that, having been elected sovereign of Bulgaria, he considers it a sacred duty to set foot at the earliest possible moment on his new country. He lias embarked for Widin. All the garrisons at Sophia have fired salutes in the new’ ruler’s honor. Prince Ferdinand, Bulgaria’s new King, arrived at Rustcbuk and was joyously received. Guns were fired in honor of the occasion, and after a banquet the Prince was borne on the shoulders of the people to the street. The Bulgarian Government is advised by its representative at Constantinople that the Porte recognizes Prince Ferdinand’s election, but that the Sultan, not having been asked to consent to the Prince's acceptance, will maintain its present attitude for a time. The Porte has sent a circjilar to the Powers asking its advice as to its policy in the premises. At a banquet tendered ■ him by the garrison at Timova, Prince Ferdinand pledged himself to preserve intact everything with which the name of Prince Alexander was connected. A hurricane at Bordeaux, France, has destroyed a vast amount of property. During the storm two excursion trains collided at Arehacon, seventeen persons being injured.... One thousand houses and iwo churches were destroyed and three persons burned to death in a great fire at Scutari. Thousands of people are homeless. The Sultan heads a subscription for the relief of the victims with 63,000. MAR KETR EPORTS. NEW YORK.

“ He.” Do you care to see him? Start at the corner of Clark and Madison streets, walk east to Dearborn, north to Randolph, west to Clark, and down Clark to your starting point. No I matter what time of the day or night you may choose, somewhere in that small circuit you will meet or overtake “He.” You will know him by his long, uncombed hair, his queer, starchless hat, his misfitting clothes, run-down shoes and shambling gait. For tho one-hundred and seventy-eighth time during the last one-hundred days, I mot him last Saturday, when the heat was “knocking everybody out,of the box and making a home run,” and, my curiosity getting tho better of my repugnance, I addressed him in tho language of the day: “I tis hot!” He moves slowly, he stopped slowly and, without the least change in his curiously wrinkled features, delivered himself as follows: “It is cold. Oh, so cold! No, I am not a fisherman. What is it to me that the thermometer marks one hundred and two in tho shade? My heart is nothing but a lump of ice. Ergo! is my body cold. Neither am I a tramp. If there is fringe upon my trousers it has grown there of its own accord. I care not for the frivolities of life. The 1 world in which you move is far away. This morning I entered the massive ' door that leads into yonder bank and ’ there, with one foot over the sill, requested tho loan ofarn hundred dollars. , Did I shiver? Had you seen the look [ with which the cashier met my modest - demand you had been frozen stiff. For nine long years I have not been beyond the streets which 1 bound this square. You have seen ‘ mo, have you not, every day, no I matter what the weather—for to you , there is such a thing as weather —faith- , ' fully pacing about this square? Yes, , | lam always here.

Nino ■ ' years ago, tho IGtli day of this month, when the sun was high overhead and the Italians wt lunching on either ( side of tho street from their tin dinner , pails—how well I remember the most trivial circumstances of that awful i i day!—nine years ago to-day I was a j proud and prosperous man; cashier in i a down-town restaurant, civil, cynical, i and austere, as became my position; । acquainted with many, intimate with none. On that eventful day I left my checks in care of my assistant and went 1 forth into tho busy street. I remem- ' her that a friend standing at tho door ’ as I come out remarked, ‘lt is hot.’ 1 I passed on and entered a small ’ barbershop, situated in yonder block ; about midway between this street and . tho next ami, taking my place in the chair, was about to communicate to the barber my desire to be shaved, when without a moment’s warning he ran his fingers through my hair and n a tone of commiseration and surprise, ■ said slowly: ‘Who lias been trying to cut your hair?’ I killed h m on the spot, it was a dreadful deed, but tho aged chestnut falling on my ears when 1 my whole nervous system was under 1 tho strain of having been seventeen । cents short in my cash for three days I was too much -1 killed him then and 1 there and a jury rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide. Since that day 1 have never had my hair cut, nor have I been able to tear myself away from tho place of the tragedy. It is cold. I must get across the st reet into the sun.’ And he sauntered out onto the blistering, glistening, twisting pavement, 1 cracking in tho rays of a 127-degree heat, while 1 crept up-stairs to my seven-by-nine furnace and, snatching iqi my peneiL wrote a labored article on the faith euro.— Comint p ial Travel'r, Chicago. । . God Bless the Old-FaUiioned Girls. ' Bishop Cosgrove, of Davenport, lowa, in a recent sermon, gave as a model for the rising generation the “old-fashioned girl” of thirty years ago, and said: “She was a little girl until ’ sho was fifteen years old, and sho helped her mother in her household I ’ duties. Sho had her hours of play and ’ enjoyed herself to the fullest extent. She never said to her mother: ‘I can t —I don’t want to,’ for obedience to her ’ was a cherished virtue. She arose in j 1 the morning when called, as we do not i ; suppose she had her hair done up in paper and .srimping pins, or banged ‘ over her forehead. She didn’t grow into a young lady and talk about her ’ beau before she was in her teens, and she did not read dime novels, nor was ' she fancying a hero in everv plow-boy . she met. The old-fashioned girl was modest in her demeanor, and she never ; talked slang or used by-words. Sho did not laugh at old people nor make fun of cripples. Sho had respect for her elders, and was not above listening to words of counsel from those older ’ than herself. Sho did not know as . much as her mother. She did not go to parties by tho time that she was ten • years old, and stay till after midnight, dancing with any chance young man who happened to be present. She went to bed in season, sa d her prayers, slept the sleep of innocence, and rose in the morning happy and capable of giving happiness. And now, if there be an old-fashioned girl in the world to-day, may heaven bless her and keep her and raise others like her.” What He Would Say. “If that man could speak, do you know what ho would say?” said a gentle»an to tho undertaker who had just lowered tho body of a man in tho grave. “No, I do not, most assuredly.” “Woll, if ho could speak, he would be alive, wouldn’t he?” “Certainly.” “Being buried alive, ho would say—‘this is a grave error.”’— Carl Pretzel’s National. The hypnoscope invented by Ochorowics is claimed to readily disclose a person’s liability to mesmeric influence or hypnotism, or tho reverse. It is, says the Boston Nerald, a tubular magnet, the edges of tho slit being north and south polos, respectively, its armature or “keeper” of soft iron closing the poles to preserve the m gnetisni when the instrument is not in use. To use it the armature is taken off and tho f, relinger thrust through tho tube of tho magnet, so that both poles are united through the linger it- , self. At the end of two minutes the magnet is drawn off and the person examined. It is asserted that about 30 i por cent, of the persons examined by this method are found to have experienced some peculiar objective or subjective sensation; some '2O per iont. an itching or pricking of the linger, as if needle-points were entering the skin; ! others a sense of coldness, or of heat and dryness. _ How far a little candlo throws its beams, so shows a good deed iu a naughty world,

An Ohl Story. zknd the wise man sayeth in his wisdom, “Ila, ha!” and drawoth his salary at the end of the sixth day. And he departeth forth to the wayside and giveth to the publican that dwelleth therein live of the shekels of silver for a piece of parchment on which is written, “Received on account.” And tho wise man sayeth in his soul, “It is good,” and ho counteth the shekels of silver and of brass that remaineth in h : s hand, sayeth in his soul, “Behold, have I not horo two dollars! let us eat, drink, and bo merry before the morrow cometh. ” And ho goeth forth and buyeth a twenty-live-cent shave and a plug of tobacco, and treateth tho publican’s daughter to soda-pop, and chu< keth tho Pharisee’s wife under tho chin, and goeth to the socialists’ meeting and sayeth in a loud voice: “Lo, and behold, ament I mo!” and passeth a resolution condemning tho rich man and consoling Lazarus, and when tho cock croweth twice, sayeth, “Lo, I shall go hence unto my house!” and departeth rejoicing exceedingly. And ho boxvoth to the liitching-post, and asketh the pump to take a horn with him as he shaketh hands therewith, and ho offercth his arm unto his neighbor’s cow and asketh her if ho may have the pleasure of escorting her homo. And he disputeth with his neighbor’s curbstone and it smototh him, hip and thigh, with a mighty smote. And he goeth into tho cellar and mistaketh a ham for tho clock and windeth it up with a corkscrew, and hangeth his pants on a meat-hook and his hat in the buttcr-tub and retireth to rest on the ice-box. And in the morning his wife taketh two dollars wash money and buyeth of tho fish, called of tho Gentiles bacon, and prepareth her lord’s breakfast while ho bindeth his head in a wet towel and watcheth tho rich man afar in Abraham’s bosom. Marvelous Little Moxie. Tho Moxie craze is tho latest, and it bids fair to last, as the physicians say it takes the place of stimulants anil tonics, leaving no roaction. Consequently, its place cannot bo filled. The medical' world, it is said, havo been waiting for some one to discover its like, as stimulants are only a temporary relief, and arc eventually as destructive to nerve force as ' overwork and exhaustion. Stimulants and medicines never cure nervousness or nor- ' vous exhaustion. It is said tho Moxie doos at once Stops the appetite for liquors as well, satisfies the nervous system as well, at once, , leaving only the best results. The Pink-Eyed Pittsleys. Scattered through the several conn- j try towns and villages of Rochester, | i Freetown, Lakeville, Long Plain, i j Acushnet, and Myricks, is a peculiar ' race of people that stick close to the r I | native backwoods, and on rare occa- j ' sions emerge from their self-chosen re- I tirement to the neighboring more pop- 1 ulous towns of .Middleborough and ■ Wareham, and sometimes they are seen ; on the streets of New Bedford, Taun- I ton, and Fall River, the observed of all I beholders. The local appellation that I follows them to all places is that of "Pink-Eyed Pittsleys.” Their peculiarity is pink eyes and perfectly white hair. This striking singularity is said to have first made its appearance in a । family by the name of Pittsley, in Free- | town, a century or more ago, and spread | through succeeding generations among | the offspring of those xvho intermar- | ried with tho members of the family, j until many of tho residents of this I section of a variety < f family names as well as that of Pittsley have mem- I | bers marked by this peculiarity of the 1 eyes and ha r and an accompanying fao al expression that is odd in the extreme. The old man, Merchant Pittsley, was pink-eyed, and he had nine children. All five of his sons had pink eyes and white hair, and one daughter was marked the same way, but tho other three girls had as line black eyes and dark hair as any girl in town. They married, all but one, and had children, and some of their children i had pink eyes and white hair, but not I all.— Bro< kton (Mass.) Gazette. A Perilous Postponement. To postpone, when tho duty for immediate action is clear, is always unwise. Especially is it so when increasing ill-health calls for a ; resort to medication. Diseases of tho kidneys j and bladder aro often of swift growth—always i of fatal tendency if not combatted at tho outset. Wo havo all—even those of us who aro not remarkably well instructed—heard something of the danger attending Bright s disease, diabetes, and other diseases of the kidneys or bladder. Let no one be foolhardy enough to procrastinate if he perceives the renal organs to bo inactive. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are peculiarly adapted to overcome this inaction, to sufficiently stimulate, without exciting, tho kidneys and bladder. Infinitely is this diuretic to be preferred to the impure and fiery stimulants of commerce, which prove the bane of unwary persons with a tendency to renal troubles They aro likewise inoomparable for dyspepsia, debility, fever and ague, and biliousness. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Science M. Hayem, of the medical school, read a paper on the phenomena noticed in the head of an animal after decapitation, with or without transfusion of fesh blood, says a Paris corre.spondent of & ience. As soon as the head is separated from the body the eyes move convulsively, and a look of wonder ana anxiety is noticeable on the face. The jaws separate with force, and the tongue seems to be in a I tetanic state. There appears to be i some consciousness of wliat is going on, but this does not last more than three or four seconds. The eyes then shrink into the head, and some spasmodic efforts at breathing are made; the nostrils expand, the mouth opens, the tongue is retracted toward the sauces. This respiratory effort is repeated three or four times, but the seuses seem to be inactive and the will is lost. These phenomena last one or at most two minutes, and tho head then becomes utterly inert. If preparations have previously been made so that the head after separation continues to receive a fresh supply of blood, the voluntary manifestations persist as long as the blood supply is sufficient—that is, for half an hour or so.
