. Our exchanges contain an account
of a marvellous case that shows how
it is impossible to be too careful in
caring for the dead. A little girl
was put in a coffin, dead as was sup
posed, and .kept for two days. If
she had been buried within twenty
or thirty hours it would have been a
case of the most horrible kind. From
a lengthened account we copy the
following:
"Then the friends commenced discussing
the propriety of burying her. While the
discussion was going on some one went into
the room, where the child was lying, and
after looking at the corpse for a moment
put his fingers on the pulse and was sur
prised to feel a feeble fluttering. The pulse
beet slowly, but it indicated that life was
there, and means were at once used to fan
the vital spark into a flame. The doctor
was again called and restoratives applied.
Although respiration returned and the ac
tion of the heart increased, yet conscious
ness did not return to the girl, and all ef
forts to restore her were fruitless She
remained in this state of torpidity for
twenty-six days, and on the evening of the
twenty sixth day she opened her eyes and
feebly asked for a drink of water. From
that time on she rapidly gained strength,
and is now able' to go about." ,
Rutledge P. Hughes, the abscond
ing Republican United States Mar
shall from Richmond, Va., has been
arrested at Marrienfield, Texas. He
is charged with being short in his
accounts to the amount of $8,000.
The Dispatch says:
"He was also receiver in the suit to wind
up the affairs of E.- Courtney Jenkins, in
which it is said he is also liable for about
$2,000. Last Sunday evening Col. H. W.
Flourney, Secretary of the Commonwealth,
received a telegram from Sheriff R. C.
Ware, of Mitchell county, Texas, stating
that Mr. Hughes was at Colorado City, in
that State. When arrested about $3,000
was ' found on his person. Sheriff Ware
has been directed to bring ' him here at
once. He is expected to get here in a few
day, probably about Wednesday H"
At the time we write, 10 o'clock at
night, Gen. Grant is extremely low
and is believed to be sinking into
death. He will be a greater man
when dead than when living, because
his good will survive and "the evil
will be interred with his bones." The
country will almost deify him. When
gone, it may be said that a man is
dead who filled a very great place in
American history and in the eyes of
the world. The South will regret his
departure.
Some of the cantankerous Radical
papers in the North feel greatly hurt
in their feelings because Secretary La
mar thought it becoming to close the

and former Secretary of that depart
ment. With these "incurables" the
South is still "m rebellion."

gratifying that the trade in Wilmington

that the practice prevails in these two mai

have been able to make an eqnally explicit
denial, but the trade there simply enters a

THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE OF THE
NURSERY. The following Is an extract from a
letter written to the German Reformed Messenger,
at Chambersborgh, Perm. : A Benefactress. Just
open the door ior her, and Mrs. Wmslow will
prove the American Florence Nightingale of the
Nursery. Of this we are so sure, that we will
teach our "Susy" to say, "A blessing on Mrs.
Wmslow" for helping her to survive and escape
the griping, colicKing, and teething siege. Mrs.
Win blow's Soot hiss Btkut relieves the child
from pain, andcures dysentery and diarrhoea. It
softens the gums,reduoes infiammation,cure8wmd
oolio, and carries the infant safely through the
teething period. It performs precisely what it
prof esses to perform, every part of it nothing
less. We have never seen Mrs. Winslow know
her only through the preparation of her "Soothing
Syrup for Children Teething." If we had the
power we would make her, as she is, a physical
saviour to the infant race. Sold by all druggists.
23 cents a bottle.
