“What are the tests for death? There are
many of them. A looking-glass held over
tho month is frequently used. If no mois

nounced dead. Electricity, It is said, ap-

ife will prodace effects that cannot be pro
duced after death.. If blisters cannot be
raised upon a body, most surgeons say, it
might as well be laid away. There are

by people as sure signs, hut so far as my
experience goes f know of but one infallible
sign, and that is decay, and Uiu tricuds of a

BItOUGHT BACK TO LIFE.
A Physician Tells How a Woman Thought
to lie Demi Was Saved*
New York Tribune,
An old professor of anatomy, who had
been a demonstrator in the medical col
leges of this city nnd Philadelphia ft,, many
yenrs, was busily working on a man’s heart,
which lay npon a slab before him, when u
Tribune reporter entered his office. “This
is the finest specimen I ever saw of heart
disease," he said, holding tip the heart and
gazing at it with unalloyed admiration. “It
<lid very poor work for an unfortunate fel
low, who wits found dead in an ice-cart,and
who wan never identified. I would like to
know the history of the man who carried
sneh an imperfect organ nround with him,
lint alas! he died and left no record behind
him except this mute piece of tissue to tell
the story of his Bufferings. Science is thus
always losing valuable facts through the
ov-sfci. ht of individuals."
conversation tnmed after a time to
the resuscitation of persons supposed to be
dead. The surgeon remarked;
“No doubt then sre coses in which peo
ple under the infinence of a trance have
been dutifully buried by their relatives and
friends. Bodies have been exhumed soon
after being laid in their narrow cell and
have given unmistakable evidence of a re
turn to consciotujeaa in the coffin. The
flesh bos been found to he scratched and
skin and tissues have been fonad under the
Mils. Hair has been seen in coffins that
was evidently pulled out after bulbil, and
bodies have been turned over in a contorted
state.
“I remember a case of my own. I had
been treating tho wife of a dear friend of
mine for some spinal trouble. She lingered
along for days and months without perma
nent improvement and I was much puz
zled. She lost strength, became much
emaciated, and was finally nnable to walk.
She ream'tied in a half reclining position
day and*night, in bed or on an adjustable
chair. One morning my friend hastoned to
my offico and announced the death of his
wife. He said she was quite bright in tho
ovening, but after awhile became drowsy
and fell into a deep sleep, and died with
out a struggle some time daring the night.
The next day I went to my friend's
house and sow thqbody. It was In a room
On the top floor, and, the weather being
• cool, was not on ice. Tho face had an un
usually natural expression. Its appearance
surprised me somewhat. The body wax
cold and stiff, but there wss an indescriba
ble something shunt her condition that led
me to doubt that she wss dead, Bhe was
to be buried the next day. The more I
thought over the matter the stronger be
came the oonviction that she was alive. I
told her husband that perhaps she was iu
trance, and advised that she be kept nnlil
mortification set in, which would be a sore
indication of death. He gladly acquiesced
ami the funeral notice was countermanded.
"For three or four days I endoavored to
resuscitate her by the use of electricity anil
other means, but the most persistent ef
forts failed to reveal any signs of life, amt

resolved to wait for what might happen
Tho days passed, and it wss o weary work

themselves in tbs ease aud went so far as
to call tho attention of the board of health
to the fact that a dtsd woman waa being

considerable persuasion and influ

Equity, from Floyd. Ucforo Judge Branham.
Framl. Hnrtxnd and wife. Alimony. Btatuto of
Limitations. Administrators. Distributer*,
Jackson, 0. J.—1. Tbia caae depends upon tbe
aingle question whether by fraud am! collusion be
tween the husband aud the administratrix of his
father's estate hla distributive share therein had bet-n
exhausted by a false statement and evidence of
Indebtedness by the aon to the father. On this
I»"int there was evidence to auatain the findiug of
tho jury and we will not disturb it
2. While the atatute of limitations i* a personal
privilege aud may be waived by a debtor, it ta in-
equitable to allow him to waive it rending a suit
for alimony against him. It would be just the
same aa If be had disposed of hla property to avoid
alimony after the suit waa brought. Code, 1721; 30
a., 2u6.
3. While an administrator may hold rotes out of
date, or other rlaima out uf date, against the dis
tributive share of a distributee, be cannot set them
off when the rights of others are concerned, and
tho indebtedness is found to be fraudulent by a
jure. Judgment affirmed.

■ Jackhox, C. J.—1. Grounds of objection to evi
dence must be speifled
2. On an issue of fraud in the giving and obtain
ing of a mortgage it waa not error to give in charge
to tbe jure tho 3173d, 3l7Cth and 2767th sections of
tbe cede in the language of thoae section*, there
being facta cuougu in evidence to warrant the
charge.
3. It was not. error to say to the jury, that on look
ing at the mortgage they would see a paper panted
over the sheet on which the mortgage was written,
and over that part which had been before atteshd
by a notary public, aud was now on the
upper paper attested by the Georgia commissioner
iu Missouri, an«l explaining to them that there waa
no fraud in re-executing an instrument which had
boon illegally executed before, yet that the lory
were to pa»a on the question whether it waa frau
dulently executed or not, it being conceded that the
true date waa June 23d. 1H82, while the execution
before the Notary Public appeared to be the 6th of
May, 1K82.
Iu this language there was nothing intimating au
opinion, end the evidence warranted the chsree.
4. To sell or mortgage hia entire proi>erty by an
insolvent debtor, pending suit, is a badgo of fraud,
and to do so in an unusual mode is also a badge
of fraud.
It is not necessary for tbe court to tell tbe jury
what la usual, or what would excite suspicion, lu-
deed it might be erroneous to do so.
5. Failure to produco testimony is a badge of
fraud, where the bonaAdst of the transaction are in
iaane, and witneswea who ought to be able to ex

C. Concealment is a badge of fraud, and
such concealment might exist aa to a tnor stage
though It be recorded. Tbe record would not show
a blur, or alteration, or panting over on the origin

Ilia obscurity was probably the bent recom

a serious question as to who could be put

a determination engendered by desperation

Blount ns a member of Congress, and havo

account of any brilliancy displayed in his

honesty of purpose; and although bis re
cord shows him to be a dull “plodder” in tho
conncils of the natiaon, he had succeeded
in creating the impression that ho was at
least “honest” in his intentions! During
iU this tune, however, government patron
age was beyond the reach of Jimmy Blonnt,

empowering the levy and collection of a tax on the

the ptAilic without the hope of present ade-
qnnte vteward, hoping that in the future
that tMi little post-office at Jackson wonld,
in K01&0 degree remunerate him for tho out
lay ofSiis private funds. The great mass
of th£. people uppiecate his good inten-
tions.jmd prompt services, and desired that
he shield ho continued, at least, during
tho p&sent administration. Thoy consid
ered uTis only on act of justice to a worthy
and efficient officer,whom they have known
for ytars os n true Democrat, and ono who
stuck to the fortunes of Jimmy Blount for
no other renson than that he professed to
he 1 Democrat Throe hnnAird voters of
llntta county who have honored Jim Blount,
signed a petitiou roqueating Jimmy Blonnt
to use his influence in having the present
incumbent reappointed. Numerous private
letters wero also written making the same
request. No one supposed that Jimmy
Blount could provs himself nn ingnte in
•o -mall a matter as the appointment of a
Democrat to the position of postmaster at
Jackson; one who had done everything- he
could to secure Blount's promotion to his
present position.
The sequel, however, proves that wsy
back during his obscurity in tbe backwoods
of Jones county, Jimmy became mixed up
with G. W. Maun, in which tho aaid G. W.
Mann says he has “Jimmy nnder bto
thumb.” Of course this information was a
stunner to the public, as it placed Jimmy
in very straightened circumstances. The
people who gave Jimmy his posilion in
Congress, and bad a right to demand recog
nition by him, wire requesting him to do
one thing, while that inexorable “thumb”
was holding him down to a for
mer engagement. Only a short time
before Jimmy left for Washington
he informed a prominent citizen of
Butts county that ha was in great stress as
to what to do about the Jackson post-office.
That “G, W. Mann wanted it, but Harp
was the best recommended of any man that
had applied!” However, about this time,

W. it. raja, fro
tbs “Kansey KnitHe,” of tho Argue, made
Jim a visit, and must have gotten bto slimy
work of deesption and (also representation
to perfection, for Jimmy immediately con
sented to become s party to tho dirty work,
and turn bto back, not only npon a man
who had been true to him, but also upon
moro than DUO of his supporters in Butta
county!
This perfidy on the part of Jim Blonnt
niado “ltanncy Snillle’s ’ heart to beat with
joy! He baatmed to Jackson and pro
claimed that “daring tho month of Decem
ber, a new postmaster would be appointed
at Jackson.” There to an old adage that
“there to honor among thieves.” Jimmy,
when he reached Wasnington, made haste
to complete his dirty work, and relieve hia
conscience of the awful pressure of the “in
exorable thumb.” We presume he feels
easier now, hut hia constituents in Butts
county arc looking on with disgust at tho
perfidy of the man whom they have hon
ored by tbeir votes. Wbat excuse can he
render for so wantonly ignoring tbeir ex
pressed wishes? Now, so for os the actual
money that tbe Jackson post-office pays, it
is s matter of no consequence whatever.
Any njsn can make moro money with lea-
labor, at almost any other occupation. But
there to a principle connected with it that
to of vast importance. The present incum
bent has condor ted the Dtuineas of the
Jackson post-offimffor over four years, dur
ing which time not a word of complaint
luis been uttered bv the Post-office Depart
ment. A faitu.'ul performance of
the duties of postmaster for
over four years, in which no charge of in-
eompetency or dereliction of duty boa been
made, either by the Republican adminis
tration or tbe Democratic administration,
for tbe past ten months,deserves something
more than a summary dismissal without
cause I! It to our right to know why we
have been displaced. Tbe principles of
civil servioe reform demand that cause shall
be shown when a competent officer to re
moved, and yet, so for os we know, no just
grounds for removal exists—certainly none
have been stated!! If so called Democratic
honesty admits of treachery against any
true member of the j-riy, it is not that
kind, of honesty for which we have always
contended. We demand that the charges
be made, and we he allowed to confront the
witnesses It to our right, and we shall be
coolant with nothing short of it. If false
representations have been made, justice de
mands that wa be afforded on opportunity
to disprove them, and wa defy the scoun
drels that have mads them'.'.
