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 finally I gave up trying to do anything, and resolved to wait for what might happen Tho days passed, and it wss o weary work and wearing on tbe nerves to watch the hotly in suspense.

On this I»"int there was evidence to auatain the findiug of tho jury and we will not disturb it 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.

Among the positions open ’•> be manipu lated by Jimmy Blonnt, is tho little fourth- class post-office at Jackson.

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.

Jadffmmt 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'.'.
