Of Indian railroad laborers a Mexi
can letter in the Chicago Times says:
"The Indian laborer toils unceasingly,
but accomplishes very little. On
shoveling it would take six of them to
equal one Irishman. It is anew kind
of work for the Indian, and it takes
him in his weakest part. The muscles
of the arms are not developed. An
Indian is strong in his back and legs,
and wben it comes to carrying s heavy
load an Irishman is nowhere. Some
difficulty has Been experienced in
familiarising the Indians wth the
wheelbarrow. They would persist in
smashing the wheel and shouldering
the load. It was easier and more after
the idea of locomotion.”

A Troublesome Toolh
BAFFLES BOTH DENTIST AND PHYSICIAN.
Detroit, October 7.—A special to
the Post and Tribune gives the fol
lowing remarkable history of a case
occurring at Battle Creek, in this
State: Just one }'ear ago, this week,
Mrs. Nellie Ingram, of this city, who
had been suffering from neuralgia in
her teeth, concluded to have one of
her teeth extracted, and accordingly
repaired to the office of a dentist, Mr.
N. Men it t, for tiiat purpose. She was
then enjoying the best of health and
weighed 180 pounds. The tooth was
a very troublesome one and in her jaw
firm and fast, and the pain which she
endured from its extraction was so
excruciating as to excite the nervous
system to such a degree that she ex
perienccd a shock of nervous prostra
tion, which ended in paralysis of the
stomach. A carriage was called, and
she was convej’ed home in a precari
ous condition. She suffered for seve
ral daj’s with cramp in the bowels.
When she attempted to eat food it re
fused to remain on her stomach, and
produced the most violent retching
pains, so that she was obliged to give
it up. It soon became evident to her
physicians that she could not be kept
alive without the means of nourish
ment and not a particle of food to her
lips. Injections were therefore given
her, and life lias thus been prolonged
for a year by the process of absorption
and food by walls. Intestine baths of
beef tea, milk and such nutritious
liquid food are also given her, with an
occasional bath of alcohol to keep the
pores open. She has thus lived twelve
months with not a particle of food
passing her lips. She is being sup
ported entirely this way. When she
is hungry milk or bcof tea are inject
ed, which satisfies her appetite the
same as though she had eaten the
usual way ; but, although this rather
thin diet keeps her alive, it does not
prove very fattening, as she Is reduced
in weight in this time from 180 to
about seventy pounds, or at the rate
of over two pounds per week loss.
Her face has quite a healthy appear
ance, and it would not strike one as
belonging to a person whose body was
so emaciated as to be little less than
skin and bones. She is only able to
obtain two or three hours’ sleep night
ly, and that towards morning, when
the vitality of the body is very low.
With the returning activity of the
senses begins the retchings and spas
modic actions of nature, which con
tinue throughout tbe day and until her
system is completely exhausted, and
she again falls into the sleep described.
The drain on her nervous S3 , stem has
been so great that she has now lost
her reason, and her voice is so weak
that she can speak only in a low whis
per, and she continually grows worse,
so that her death is daily expected.
The case has been frequently describ
ed, and accounts have been widely
copied and created no little interest.
Letters are being received by her phy
sicians from all parts of the United
States.
Rights of the Majority.
Washington, October 10. —It is
well ascertained that the Democrats
admit the right of the Senate to elect
any Senator President pro tern, or to
change the officer at pleasure. Now
would they filibuster to prevent this
shonld the Republicans secure a ma
jority in the Senate, whether such be
by the vote of Mr. Davis, of Illinois, or
by any other usual course. Senator
Bayard being asked by a Herald repor
ter if lie thought the Republicans
would acquiesce in his election as
President pro tem. of the Senate and
would try to put Mr. Davis, of Illi
nois, in that position, said that was
their business and not his. While he
did not know what they would do or
attempt, he had no hesitation in saying
that they had the right to change the
President pro tem. whenever they had a
legal majority. Should they do so he
woo Id not have any tears to shed, as
he recognized the right of a majority
whenever it was apparent. In this
connection he said, the Democrats in
the Senate at once acquiesced in the
organization of the Senate committees
as soon as they saw the Republicans
had the majority, but when it was ap
parent to them that the purpose in
electing a Secretary was to debauch
the party and make the partronage of
the office the instrumentality of carry
ing the State of Virginia then the
had a legitimate issue, and
qne upon which they could offer oppo
sition. But as they had never oppos
ed the will of the majority in the elec
tion of officers of the Senate they
would not hereafter. Anotlicr promi
nent Democrat says that if tiie Re
publicans seek to elect Mr. Davis, of
Illinois, President pro tem., the Dem
ocrats will oppose it but will not resort
to dilatory tactics. Unless the Re
publicans become assn red of the vote
of Senator Davis oflillinois, they will
try to have the election of a Secretary
postponed until the regular session of
Congress. —New York Herald.
Dr. Howard Crosby, who claims to
have a right to know something about

Confederate Money in the Bank ,of
England.
A cotemporary, in an article dis
cussing the sudden rise in confederate
bonds recently, makes an allusion to
the money bclongi ng to the con federate
government’s account with the Bank
of England, which for some reason was
not withdrawn upon the collapse of
the confederacy. Our cotemporary is
not quite correct in its statements.
On the first day of April, 1865, the
confederate government had £160,000
to its credit in the Bank of England.
When the crash came the confederate
cotton had disappeared, and although
the United States consul-general at
Liverpool made diligent search he
could not find a bale, although he had
reliable information that there was
some thousand bales of confederate
cotton in Liverpool a fortnight before.
Where it went, and the manner of its
disappearance, constitutes one of the
most interesting chapters of the un
written history of the late war. Why
the money belonging to the confeder
acy was not withdrawn from the Bank
of England at the time of the crash it
is not easy to say. One of the reasons
given is that the officer on whose check
alone it could be obtained was out of
London ill, and when he did return, it
was too late. Three attempts have
been made by the treasury department
to get this money. The first was in
1867. The American minister, Mr.
Reverdy Johnson, was told by her
majesty’s government that the money
would be turned over to the United
States as executor, but if the American
government claimed the assets, it must
be responsible for the liabilities of the
confederacy. This view of the matter
was not entertained by Mr. Johnson,
who. advised his government of the
condition upon which the money could
be obtained, ftfr, Boutwoll, while
secretary of the .treasury, made rn 4
attempt to get the coveted £160,000.,
Uo se.nt lion. Kenneth Raynor, of
North Carolina, then as now, solicitor
of, tbc,treasury, to.Lpndon, to see if
sorne plan could not be deyised by
which the government might obtain
this mqney without becotniog responsi
ble for the liabilities of the confeder
acy. he. was as unsuccessful as
Mr. Johnson had been. Since Mr.
Blaine liqs beqn in office he has also
caused inquiry to be made, but with
out any results. Tjie, money will ,
probably remain in the, Bank of Eng
land's vaults until some more vigorous
course than any thus far taken ( is
adopted. —New Orleans Tunes.
