The National Guard and Its First An- nual Encampment. THE ARTILLERY AND CAVALRY COMPANIES START TO-MORROW—GETTING READY FOR ESTABLISH- ING THE CAMP ON MONDAY—THE EMBARKA~ TION, TRANSPORTATION, AND ARRIVAL, Bright and early to-morrow morning the first movement of the national guard of the District will begin toward Fort Washington, where the first annual encampment of the militia is to be held. This movement will consist of the march of the batteries and the cavalry company over the road, and will begin at about 7:30. The batteries will take about sixty men and the cavalry company thirty-five. The companies will assemble at their armory, 22dand P streets, and thence follow the shortest route to the Eastern Branch, probably using 22d, Massa- chusetts avenue, Connecticut avenue, Pennsyl- vania avenue, around the south front of the Capitol, Pennsylvania avenue again, 11th street east to the bridge. INTO THE OPEN COUNTRY. On arriving at Anacostia the boys in blue, astride their horses and their guns, will plunge into the open country, taking the “upper road.” This will be their first experience in road work with their pieces and their animals, and will doubtless be instructive, as well as entertaining and possibly disappointing. Though the con- peniete the r to the fort will have = tecke with the rate of progress, it is expected tha’ the detachment will reach the camp at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as the boys have recovered their land-legs they will pitch their tents on the eastern plain and stew their bean soup, each being provided for rations for @ day, as the mess-halls will not be in shape for work until Monday noon, THE ARTILLERY will be officered as follows: Captain, Arthur Yates; first lieutenant, Wm. H. Mellach; junior first lieutenant, Alfred P. Robbins; first ser- geant, John N. Oliver, jr.; quartermaster ser- . George A. Howe, and saddlery sergeant, Pred a, Fifty-seven enlisted men will go. The first night in camp will doubtless be a novel experience to these guardsmen, but their trip over a typical Maryland road’ will probably give them inclination to seek their straw bags early and leave them late. TO GET THINGS READY. This morning adetachment of nearly forty men went down tothe for t on the steamer Cor- coran for the purpose of making things ready for the coming of the guard. They were headed by Capts, Frank Aldrich and Tracy L. Jeffords, aides on Gen. Ordway’s staff, and a commis- sioned officer from each of the regiments. There were three non-commissioned officers and fifteen privates from each regiment, mak- ing a force equal to almost any emergency that can arise at Fort Washington between now and Monday noon. They will straighten things up getting materials into their proper places, will pitch the tents of the headquarter’s staff, and of each battalion and regimental headquarters, so that even before the arrival of the guard the dull brown plains on the river bluffs will be well dotted withsnow white canvas, and the sleepy reservation will be infused with the lite and bustle that come with half a hundred soldiers. These, with the first detachments of cavalrymen and artillerymen, will form a re- spectable garrison for the fort on Sun- day night, and the next morning every finger wall be flying in eager efforts to put things in perfect readiness for the host that will arrive shortly after 11 o'clock, THE START ON MONDAY. The streets of Washington will be filled with martial music and soldierly figures Monday morning, as from their various armories the men of the guard will march to the steamboat wharves eager to be off to their camp. Gen. Ordway has issued this order for the occasion: 1. The troops of the national guard will ag semble, in heavy marching order, at the foot of 6th’ street southwest, on Monday, July 99. 1889, at 9:30 o'clock a.m., to embark for the an. nua! encampment at Fort Washington, IL. Orguuizations desiring to carry overcoats will pack them with company baggage. Woolen blankets will be rolled inside the rubber blan- kets and strapped on the top of blanket bags by the coat straps, The blanket bag will thus be left free to carry all necessary personal bag- gage of the soldier, HL Officers will each be allowed one small trunk, and companies will be allowed a mod- erate amount of company baggage, which will be marked with the letter of company and number of battalion to which the officer or company belongs and delivered to battalion quartermasters on the wharf of the Inland and Seaboard coasting company at 8 o'clock a.m. IV. Transportation will be allowed for two servants to each company and necessary num- ber of servants for each battalion and regi- mental headquarters, V. All battalion quartermasters and quarter- master sergeants will be on the wharf at 8 o'clock a, m. to receive baggage and take charge of loading it on the stouner, THE EMBARKATION. This all reads simple enough, and to the unmilitary mind the matter of putting 1,200 or 1,300 men on board of a steamer ought to be easy. Butaglance at the steamer's landing to-morrow will probably convince anyone that the man to guide a movement like this must necessarily possess all the elements of leader- ship and must be endowed with those peculiar faculties that make great generals. The difti- culty of the situation will not simply be the embarkation of the brigade, but will Ly in the fact that this will be the first time it has been done, with nearly 99 per cent of the men un- used to such a movement, with the space con- fined and the time limited. THE TRANSPORTATION, The steamer “Jane Moseley” will carry the command down the river, while the “Jno. W. Thompson” will be used for the transportation of baggage and such materials as cannot be taken until the last minute. The trip down ought not to occupy more than an hour and a quarter, as no stops will be made on the way. UPON ARRIVAL, When the landing is effected the artillery company on the bluffs above the wharf will boom out the brigadier general's salute of seventeen guns in honor of the arrival of Gen. Ordway and his staff. Then there will bea military scurrying up the steeps into the camp, company by company, as fast as the men can disembark, and within half an hour the tents will be going up, line by line, until the Mary- land heights will be swathed in canvas and the sound of hammers and the voices of officers giving commands will break the silence. ‘THE OFFICERS AND COMMANDS, The officers and commands that will go into camp will be as follows: Brigadier general, Albert Ordway; staff—Lieutenant colonel and adjutant general, H. R. Lemley; major and in- spector general, T. M. Gale; major and quarter- master general, H. L. Cranford; commissary general, W. Cranch tire; major and chief of ordnance, E.

The peculiar circumstance of the Adler case, that of a man holding on to life most remark- ably after a murderous bullet had so injured some of the vertebre of the neck as to cause paralysis of the whole body below the neck, re- calls tomy mind a case in England towhich Adler's might, with more favor of circumstances, have proved a parallel; a case in which a man with a more or less broken neck and a par- alyzed body, lived in health for fourteen years, became an artist of wonderful skill in fine line drawing with a camel’s-hair pencil held be- tween his lips, anid finally died of the results of getting thrown out of the hand-carriage in which he took his daily airing. The London Lancet of July 19, 1856, had the following state- ment under the head of ‘Deaths from Frac- —— Other Injuries of the Cervical Verte- rae: SEVEN INSTANCES, “Of the seven patients whose cases aré detailed one lived only five hours and a half after the accident, three died in a little more than twenty-four hours, one lived for two days, | another for six days, and another for twén- a eren days. Ina case detailed by Dr. Eade (The Lancet, 1855, vol. II, p. 520), the atient lived for a months. But by far the most remarkable case of this description with which we are acquainted is that of one, John Carter, who lived for fourteen years after the in- juries which deprived his limbs of motion and sensation. Carter,at the age of twenty-one years, in 1836, slipped from a tree at the height of about 40 feet from the ground, and fell to the earth upon his back, He was‘taken up senae- less and moved none of his limbs afterward. Muscular power in the neck and head was, how- ever, retained and a slight power of motiom in the chest and left shoulder, The brain A peared to have suffered no injury from the fall. His. mental faculties remained unim- paired during the rest of his life, and he par- tally supported himself by drawing, by means of a pencil placed between his teeth, upon pa- per adjusted for the purpose upon appropriate machin “ Some of his drawings, made in this way. have singular excellence, and one is ‘aid to be in possession of her majesty. His death was occasioned by pulmonary disease, accelerated by his being overturned with a small chaise in which he was being drawn. “At @ post-mortem examination the fifth, sixth and seventh cervical. vertebre were found thrust out into an arch, and the seventh was disloca- ted so as to press upon the spinal cord.” CARTER’S REMARKABLE CASE, The physician and surgeon who attended Carter two hours after his fall wrote of his condition: “When I saw him he was Por insensible and motionléss, cold, and breathing imperfectly, with a pulse weak in the extreme, and he appeared to have sustained some fatal injury to the brain or spinal column, from which ‘there was scarcely a hope of his recovery. In the course of the day reaction was established, and there were signs of eerer consciousness. In the course of the night he became more conscious, There was a perfect absence of muscular power and of ee. of the skin throughout the body, except in the head and upper part of the neck, After some weeks a certain amount of motive power was restored to the head and neck and sensibility to the same extent, but the rest of the body remained perfectly paralyzed and insensible.” An eminent surgeon, referring to the case in a lecture at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, remarked on it as follows: “The case forms a great encouragement to give every ossible care and attention to the treatment of injuries of the spine, with the hope of obtain- ing the same happy result a8 occurred in this instance. According tothe statistical aver- ages he ought to have died within a few days after the accident, but repudiating any such illegitimate ce Berd lived during fourteen years, and his th occurred from another accident, While being dragged about in a little four-wheeled cart by a boy he was over- turned, and as he could not put out his hands to save himself he fell with great violence to the ground; this led to some chest affection, which occasioned his death in a few days.” On examination of the injured portion of Carter's spine, which the surgeon was allowed to remove just before the burial of the body, this state of things was found: “The bodies and arches of the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical vertebrw are seen blended together by bone; the body of the sixth vertebra is dis- placed and projects backward into the verte- ral canal, and no doubt was the cause of paralysis, The invertebral substances have disappeared, but their outlines are still marked and their places occupied by bone.” Ma THE SURGEON'S MEMORANDUM of Carter’s permanent condition was in these words: ‘Perfect loss of sensation in the lower extremities and inthe upper extremities ex+ cept indistinct sensibility on the left side as far as the elbow. Muscles of the left shoulder more developed than the right. Feels dis- tinctly on the left shoulder, and indistinctly on the right shoulder,” Carter’s biographer said of the results of the accident which befell him: “The column of spinal marrow, without being severed or per- aps even lacerated, suffered severe compres- sion, such as to deaden completely the nerves of motion and sensation, yet not such as to de- stroy or even damage the nerves connected with the respiratory and digestive systems; for: the functions of life were carried on fora course of years with but very little occasional medi. cal assistance; in fact, marvelous as it ma‘ sound to common ears, the injury was of tha peculiar nature that the man may be truly said’ to have LIVED FOURTEEN YEARS WITH A BROKEN NECK, and to have acquired during that time the singular power of executing the very finest line-drawings in existence, by the motion of the head, his little camel’s-hair pencil of two or three inches in length held in his mouth, which he used with the most wonderful dex- terity. He experienced no sensation of pain in his body or limbs, He might be severel; pinched, even till the skin was discolore without consciousness of pain in any degree; but he experienced considerable advantage an: comfort, when hig appetite for food was slug- gish, or when he was suffering from exhaus-‘ tion, in having his legs gently shaken to stim: late the action of his system. There is not perhaps, on record a more extensive paral; of the human frame than this of John the mind and the fair performance of all the: functions of life, under these circumstances, and fora period of fourteen years, together with the successful exercise of an extraordi- nary mechanical power, immediately connected with the seat of the injury, will be an interest- ing fact to all students of physiology.” THE PARALYSIS, This last statement is an unprofessional one, and it lacks the accuracy of exact medical science. The paralysis of Carter was by no means as complete as it would have been if one or both hemispheres of the brain had been in- i Pettect possession of the faculties off? It is the greatest possible mistake to speak of & man in Adler's condition as dead below the pa upon the ox; i Powing ia through the lungs by what we call 4 od Me) into the ules as they pass swiftly through the ont , driving right walls of the cay 3 and bl bules carry it all over the system inté every minutest part. THIS LIFE-SUPPORTING ACTION of the oxygen of respiration has gone on for Adler nearly if not quite as before. If it ceased for even a very small part of the sys- tem, and that part died, the Sart the part would soon poison the blood and carry death to every ‘The force which Adier has lacked was not that required to keep him alive, but that required for muscular motion an sensation. His injury may indeed reach if it grows worse, 80 far as to stop processes neces- sary to life, but on the other hand it may leave him permanently without muscular power or sensation, yet as capable of life as if he had not been injured at all. NO INJURY TO THE BRAIN. There has been no pretense of injury to Adler's brain, and the part which the brain plays is very great. The human brain is in weight one- thirty-sixth of the body, but it takes one- fifth of the blood of the system, seven times as much as the average. It is thus a seven-fold seat of the force which the oxygen of respira- tion bri into the living system. The case of Adler an ywer of mental a seated in See old Pare an of ife against causes whic! it easily produce death, My own contention, for now more than ten years, has been that the electricity which great authorities like Helmholtz admit that oxygen carries a charge of, is thrown off into the iving system by the oxygen of respiration, and is the animating and vitalizing power in living things. so that strong mental action is really a direction of vitalizing energy from the brain which may have effects impossible in any any other way. At any rate, in Adier’s case, the best use of good Inngs in pure air, and resolute continuance of the effort to live, would immensely help toward what his skilled sur- geons have worked for. The better the air he has had. and the more his mind has been sus- tained, the better chance will his doctors have — of securing to him yet a good — of fe. . F Se ata Agent Key’s Plan. Some folks around this city imagine that Agent Key of the Humane society knows but little outside of diseased and worthless animals, and a few very rash people have even dared to insinuate that his knowledge on that line was very limited Many of the latter class have seen the error of their ways long ago, and have repented in sackcloth and ashes in the presence of Judge Miller and an assembled multitude of lawyers, policemen, reporters and loafers. The first-mentioned variety are also mistaken in their estimate, for Mr. Key is an inventor whose ability has been recognized by the patent office on more than one occasion. A Stak reporter climbed to lir. Key's quarters on F street the other evening and caught him at work on some ideas which may in time inure to somebody's benefit. The conversation which ensued gradually drifted ‘around to the canal sufferers (of whose energy Mr. Key has but a poor opinion) and in a couple of minutes the ee itself was being discussed, “There seems to me to be no good and suffi- cient reason,” said Mr. Key, “why the Chesa- oud and Ohio or any other canal should have orses or mules for motive power.
