The Dreruurgr(Tenn.) State Gazette, says
"Tbe Mexican dollar baa depreciated at Ibis
plac3 frooi one dollar to ninety cent. This
was intended as a swindle (so called) bysotne
parties here who bought tbem up for lets and
then put them oat for a dollar. It is said in
New burn that three thousand dollars were
pat on the people in that way, the parties
doing it getting three hundred dollars by the
swindle. This is a nice case for the trand
jary. The parties should go around consci
entiously ana nunc up every man ana pay
him over bis ten cents." Th;se dollars were
sent for to Mexico at a low price and circu
lated here at the full price of a gold dollar.
The Appeal warned the paople against the
swindle with this foreign coin at the time,
but another Memphis paper assured the
people they could take it with entire con
fidence. Here is the result. An immense
tax paid to Mexico, and self-imposed, while
we are grumbling about the tax we have to
pay our government. It will be well for the
people to sift out papers that leal them to
loss.

A NEGRO YvACIIKU

Wtnsa la MC Msri't Pariah, La.
New Orleans. December 3. A special
dispatch from Franklin reports that a negro
man named Mausiand, Saturday evening,
attempted to outrage a female member of
tbe family of tbe fhtnff of St. Mary's parish,
but was driven off by the timely arrival of
assistance. Late Saturday night Mausiand
broke into the house of a widow lady living
near town, and attempted to outrage her,
but the screams of tbe inmates brought tbe
neighbor! to the rescue. The negro was
pursued and captured on Sunday, and, after
being identified by tbe ladies, was placed in
the lock-up. Yesterday mormnz the lock
up was found broken open, and Llood stains
leading from it to the wharf near by. The
theory is tbat the friends of the ladles, cut
raged at the brutal conduct of tbe negro,
went in force during the night, tcok him
from the lock-up, cut his throat, and threw
the body in Bayou Teche.
A meeting of the citizens of Franklin and
vicinity was held last nigbt to consider tbe
disturbed condition of the community, and
ty take steps for the suppression of lawless
ness by the .establishment of a volunteer
nigut-po.'ice.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILWAY BILL.
At the conclusion of the morning business,
Senator Matthews callaJ up the Texas Pacific
railroad bill and made an addresa in favor
thereof. Sanator Matthews argued taat the
government would merely guarantee the
pjment cf the inter, st cn the bonds of
the Texas' faciSa road to the xfent of nearly
two million dollars ocr a:inuui. It Wis man
ifest thai tho indemnity rt the jov.-runient
was perfect, and ultimate lu the gov
ernment was rendered impossible, unless it,
should turn out that after' the fiowiplelioa cf
the road it would not be worth the accrued
interest; but such a supposition was not to
be entertained. Ke did not believe the gov
ernment of the United State; would be called
upon to mgke any advances out of i own
treasury. The Texas Pacific road, skirting as
it would the southern boundary of tbe United
States, would form a base lino from which
lateral linea would radiate, attracting a cev?
and profitable trad?, and Boon a market
would be found for the products of'i'ie United
States in Mexico. The general jnfjaenae.of
such a trade over onr national interests witU
Meiko would be powerful. Tbe construction
of tie Xeji f ?d Pacific roa-i would open by
legitimate means i.c Eorthern States of Mex
ico to industrial colonies; iijz construction of
the Texas exu Pacific road would relt ip a
saving to tho government of more than two
million dollars per aunm. Jt was not f-tir
ner just to the present ineaurtjdiar7CS3 of it
upon tho summary objection that it ve &
subsidy. He then spoke of the constitutional
pover of congress to rogulat commerce, ar-d

DEAD ANI YJET ALIVE.
The Wonderful Story Belated of 9flaa
nary J. jraachrr, who la Blind and
Yet tin Hee, Dear and Vet
earn Hear. Alive, bat Re
quires no focd.
In Downing street, Brooklyn, has lain for
thirteen years Miss Mary J. Fancber, much
of the time in a trance-like condition, with
feeble heart pulsations, sluggish and almost
imperceptible respiration, and the chill of
death upon her flesh. At the age of fourteen
Miss Fancher was seriously injured in the
spine aad about the head while alighting
lion a street cer, being thrown to the ground
and dragged along over the stones by the
tangline ot her dress in the rear ot tbe car
She was removed to the house of htraunt,
Mrs.Crosby.in Downing street, and putin bed,
whence she has never been removed save for
a few minutes at a time. This was early in
1865. Very soon after the accident she un
derwent most astonishing physical changes.
Her nervous system was uncontrollable when
ever she was in any manner excited, while
she was absolutely paralyzed at other times
In succession she waa bereft of vision, speech
and heaiing. From violent epaama she drift
ed into a trance-like state, from which it re
quired the unremitting efforts of physicians
and friends to arouoe her. At the expiration
ot twenty days her faculties were all restored
For half an hour she saw, articulated and
listened. Then these three senses deserted
her again, and within ten mere days her fin'
gers became clenched, her jaws locked, her
limbs twisted. Spasms were thereafter more
frequent and violent. Ibe days slipped away
into weeks before she was able to keep any
food on her stomach, and it was just short of
two months that she was without nourish
ment. Then very light food was one day
piven her with seemingly beneficial results
She has oaten altogether since tfca1; day
nearly thirteen years ago not so mu ;h food
in the azsrrcgrate as an ordinarily healthful
girl of her age would eat in forty-eight
hours.
NINE TEARS OF TRANCE.
Three months and a half after the accident
she went into a rigid trance for twenty one
hours, and then passed into a relaxed trance
that lasted f or three days. Her throat became
paia'yzed. and she could neither swallow nor
utter a sound. Her right arm doubled up
back cf her head, and became fixed there
with the rigidity of death. A year later this
condition was followed by absolute rigidity cf
body, with the exception ot the left arm and
hand, which she was able to use. Tbii latter
condition lasted fornine yepra, in all of which
timi she was continually drifting into and out
ot trauces. bhe continued to be blind, the
pupils of the eyes being rolled upward, and
tbe whites only visible when the lids were
patted for examination. "V ery tightlv indeed
were the lids sealed, and with difficulty were
they opened. fcbe had the power ot speech.
however, all of the time, although it left her
at intervals, lbrce years ago the rigidity
cf her bedy relaxed, and sight and hear
ing were restored. Her present condi
tion is blindness, the eyelids closed, the
pupils sightless and staring, laxity of
body, save in her richt arm. that remains
rigid and doubled as above described : inabil
ity to take nourishment, with no desire for it
except at long intervals, when she puts a bit
of fruit or candy in her mouth for a short
time and then rejects it; torpidity of the sys
tem, with sluggish pulsation and not visor-
oui respiration, cheerfulness, with increasing
sensitiveness to being made the tneme ot
public eos8ip, and to receiving: strangers:
enlargement of the heart and soreness in the
ribs that were broken by the tall lrom a
horse; rheumatic and neuralgic pains; fre
quent changes in bodily state, with tendency
toward puimonary troubles, power ot speech
and of hearing.
TESTIMONY THAT CANNOT BE IMPUGNED.
Durinff all these thirteen years, though
blind, she has read with perfect ease. She
has from tbe firtt been able to seo and de
scribe acts and persons far removed from her
bedside. At times she has been transformed
into a cheerful, vivacious, intelligent, enter
taining young woman, and then she has re
lapsed into speechlessness, blindness, deaf
ness and entire paralysis of the senses. She
baa developed most astonishing powers, re
sembling second sight of clarivoyance, read
ing witu ease the contents ot sealed letters,
describing articles'' in bidden packages, perus
ing books while absolutely blind. Sometimes
her powers are voluntary, at other times they
are unconsciously exercised, so little nour-
h mf lit has she taken toat it may be said
she lives without food. She is surrounded
bv persons of social standing and refinement.
and has always been exceedingly sensitive to
any public mention or knowledge of her con
dition. She has ever repelled any effort to
couple her manifestations with those of clair
voyanU, hs begged to be allowed to live and
die in the retireuseni of her home, unmo
lested by strangeis and accessible only to her
friends. Clergymen, physicians,' men of
lebr3 and of intelligence, have vis
ited her. Arasa many who have
taken & special interest in Lei- are Rev.

The faculty that tee yoaag jad'a fryjneta
have raofc frequently noticed in her is that of
following some of her acquaintances those
who are dearest to her as "a ruia from place

window the gentleman referred to was in

was soon in the room.
"Whom did you ride up with?" was asked
by one of the persons to whom Miss Fancher
had been describing the nde.
"Mr. ."
"Describe him."
"Tall, black hair, muatache and eyes; he
left me at St. Felix street why ?"
"Mollie has been watching you for three
quarters of an hour or so, and has been tell
ing us about this tall man. You had better
be careful how you carry yourself," waa the
reply.
The illustration of Mi6s Fancber's powers
of sight-seeing that her friends tell of with
the greatest interest are of the return of her
uncle Isaac from California and the welcome
home, and some time afterward, of a lost pet
dog. Her uncle, Mr. Isaac Crosby, went to
California before the accident to Miss Fan
cher, and while she was a comparatively lit
tle girl. He was strong, healthy and robust,
with a full face and a big chest. While in
California he contracted consumption, and,
nine years after his arrival there, returned to
Brooklyn, and first of all sought Mrs. Cros
by, with whom Miss Fancher lives. Prof.
West, her old instructor, and Mrs. Crosby
sat in her room when the door-bell waa
rung. Mrs. Crosby started to answer the
summons, and, as she stepped from the
room, Miss Fancher exclaimed in astonished
tones: "Why, it's UdcIo Ike!"
"Who is Uncle Ike?" asked Prof. West.
"Uncle Ike! Why, he went to California
before I went to your school. How he has
changed! how sick he looks!" And Miss
Fancher entertained the professor with a de
scription of the uncle's departure for the
land of gold, how he then appeared, and his
contrasted physiognomy on his return.
Meantime Mrs. Crosbv had opened the door.
find, not recognizing her brother, asked the
visitor a business. Mr. Crosby had, indeed,
so changed that it required some little talk
tt convince the sister of his identity. After a
half boor she returno 1 up stairs and sa'uted
Miss Fancher with, "Who do vou think is
down in the parlor?" and Miss Fancher very
promptly answered. '"Uncle Ike. cf course,
aud he is very sick." The girl had instantly
recogoizrd hna. while, of course, it was im
possible for her to see him.

W ASnnrcTON. December 3. General Sher
man to-dav submitted to the joint committee
on the transfer of the Indian bureau to the
war department, a number of official docu
ruents verifying his previous statements in
regard to the advisability of the transfer.
Tbe general described the sufferings of the
Indians, and said that tbe army should
either be transferred to the Indian depart
ment or the Indian bureau to the war depart
ment. Under the existing management the
government is very heavily taxed, and the
poor Indian is driven to the wall. JNotwith'
stacdimr it was his opinion that twenty years
hence the American population would reach
eiehty million, and as the population in
creased, the Indian reservation would be re
quired for cultivation, and the Indian should
be carad for now, that he might be prepared
for the emergency. The total number of In
dians ia nearly two hundred and twenty-two
thousand, and, under military management,
the greater number could be placed under
civilian agents, always, however, retaining
military power over them, vvith reference
to the proposition cf the Indian bureau to
trm young bucks a3 soldiers or policemen,
General Sherman said the idea was inadvisa
ble, as it was simply arming a bitter enemy.
Should the transier be made. Indian wars
would be unheard cf. All trouble could be
foreseen, and outbreaks prevented. Quar
tf rmaster General Meigs contended that the
transfer must prove beneficial to both Indians
and army.

the City Again.
St. Locis, December 3. In accordance
with the resolutions passed by the city coun
cil of East St. Louis, yesterday, City Marshal
Carpenter took possession to-day of tbe mar
kethouse, the headquarters of Mayor Bow
man, together with all the city records con
tained therein, and conveyed the latt?r to the
headquarters of the Metropolitan police force.
Mayor Bowman protested against the pro
ceedings, but offered no resistance, leaving
his office quietly when Marshal Carpenter
directed him. Mayer Bowman issued a
proclamation this evening; reciting the act
of the city marshal! , appealing to the cit."z?ns
to preserve peace, and stating that he will
take legal means to reinstate himself in the
city building, and announcing tbat in the
meantime bis office and those of city clerk
and other officers will be in a building on the
pposite side of the street. This is one of the
results of tha imbroglio between the mayor
ani the general law council on one aide
and the charter council on the other, which
t reralled and caused to much trouble last

When Humboldt ladies expect their sweet
hearts to visit them they put their hair in
crimps. A similar fact in natural history is
that when New Jersey girls expect their
sweethearts to call they put the clams on to
cook. Crimps and clams how happy could
