Cemeteries.
II ero the Governor becomes eloquent
and bold, and startles the Legislature with
this conundrum : "Who would daro to
insult tho loyai heart of this nation by
propCsing to lay, side by Bide, in the same
sepulchre, the body of the assasiiu Booth
and that of Abraham Lincoln?" We
v
have nu doubt the Legislature will srive it
up.
By nn easy transition he turns to tho
"Monument to deceased soldiers of the
Mexican War." Here he is quite plain
and modest and no wonder. And here
let us atk a conundrum : How would the
brave Col. Heyer and bis compak-iots from
Cambria like to sleep beside the Geary ?
Or how would our Welsh friend, John D.
Hughes, who found the Governor in 'tDe
"last ditch" seriously 'wounds -by u Spent
ball," like to occupy ;'ri9 same graa with
hirrit
:fhe "reTifiion of the civil code" ia also
referred to, and the Governor speaks of it
as a task of "more thau ordinary magni
tude," requiring a "high order of talent,
literary attainment, legal research and
energetic industry" ; and ye he has ap
pointed a discarded Judge and two young
politicians to attend to it. Passing over
such men as John Scott, of Huntingdon,
S. S. Blair, of Blair, and A. Kopelin, of
Cambria, he could only find competent
minds in the son-in-law of Cameron and
the brother of Lou. Hall to accomplish
this important task, when any judicial
district in the State would have afforded
better material.
But enough for the present. We may
return to this "failure" and his Messa ge
next week.

Wiiat a Welsh Boy Did It is rela
ted that about tha year 1700 one Abra
ham Darby, the proprietor of a brass
foundry at Bristol, England, experimented
in trying to substitute cast, iron for bras3,
but without success, until the fojlowing
incident occurred. A Welsh sheplicrd
boy named John Thomas, to prevent be
ing impressed as a soldier, requested his
master to recommend him as an appren
tice to a relative who was one of the part
ners of Abraham Darby, and he was ac
cordingly sent to the brass works. As he
was looking on while the workmen were
trying to cast iron, he said to Darby he
thought he saw how they had missed it,
and begged to try a method of his own.
He and Mr. Darby remained alone in
the shop that night, and before moruingj
they had cast an iron pot. He waa at
once engr.ged to remain and keep tho se
cret, which he did faithfully, although
double wages were offered him by othcj
parties. For more than a hundred years
after that night, the process of producing
iron castings in a mould of fine eand with
two wooden frames and air holes, was
practised and kept secret at that factory,
with plugged keyholes and barred doQrs.
Hokkible Scicide. We have learned
to-day the particulars of a horrible case
of suicide that occurred at Trescow, on
the Lehigh Valley road. A young man,
aged about twenty-three years, married a
young woman about three months past,
and a few days back she become tired of
married life and returned to her brothers to
livo. The young man was very much
troubled and called on bis wife on Sntur
daj', informed her unless she would live
with him he would kill himself. She re
fused, and ho executed the threat by hang
ing himself from a tree near the house.
The rope was so long that his feet touched
tho ground, but, determined to die, ho
held them up with his hands and 'was
found dead as a stone. The bride's
brother took tho body down, carried it to
a neighboring tavern, whero it remained
on the stoop during tho day. In the
evening he knocked a board from the
fence, constructed a rude coffin, and bur.i
ied tho body of his brother-in-law outside
the fence of the church yard. That is
the way they do things up the river.

Tennessee, which Brownlow 'recon

souri the most God-forsaken region be

last, at Memphis, r locked-up prisoner

sisted and shot the Sheriffs thumb off.
A son of the Sheriff then shot and killed
Dnncan who, in turn was killed by Dun
can's son, and Duncan's Bon was finally
killed by old Parkinson. Further trou
ble is anticipated. This is about what
"recoustuction" will come to everywhere.

A Most Strange Cbaptcr.
A correspondent writes us from Water
loo, Iowa, asking if we know of one Ed
ward Burnham, and of his history.
v e do. And as it 13 a strange, true
one, known to hundreds, we give it in the
Lttmocrat as it is, that we may correct
some errors those who speak of him have
fallen into. Eight years since, when we
were engaged as city editor of a Milwau
kee paper, there lived in this State an ed
itor named Powell, now connected with a
Chicago paper, we think. He is, unless
he has quit it lateiy.
in irtoZ iowell was married to a Mis
E''-ea liurnham, of Broadhead, Wiecon-
rin, alter a courtship of some months
Miss Burnham's parents were old residents
ot Broadhead, and of high respectability.
Tho daughter taught music, bad a large
number of pupils, and was very attractive.
Powell lived with her as a husband two
years, she being all that time a good wife
m all respeets, presenting him with but
one child. At the expiration of two years,
when about twenty-one year3 of age, Mrs.
Powell's voice changed, the grew light
whiskers, and gradually changed her sex,
developing into a man, in all respects, as
if nature, anxious for a freak, had turned
a portion of herself wrcngside out.
The husband and wife separated when
the wife became a man, and Mrs. 'Ellen
Powell took the name of Edgar Burnham,
donned male attire, sought and obtained
employment as a clerk in Chicago, and
lived a single man for one year.
During this time he fell in love with a
niece of Senator Morgan, of. New York,
but did not marry her, for reasons not
pertinent to this article. But about the
end of the year he did marry a young lady
of Broadhead, Wisconsin, a Miss Gerta
Everett, who was a music pupil of his
when ha wa3 a Miss Ellen Burnham, over
three yearB previous toj the marriage.
This secoud mariiage was about two
years ago. Soon after this marriage
"Edgar" Burnham and wife removed to
Waterloo, Iowa, where they now reside,
or did not long since.
-The former girl is now a man, the for
mer wife is now a husband, the former
mother is now a father, the former young
lady teacher of a young lady is now the
young lady's husband I Truth is indeed
stranger than fiction, and ihs rra slm
pis statment of ffl.ela borders so upon the
marvellous we could not believe it did we
not personally know nearly all the parties.
Any one can bo convinced, byjwriting j
to the parties in either of the places we
have named, of the full and entire troth
of this most Vronderful transformation,
vvhici. puzzles not only the medical but
the entire scientifle word, and which fact
appears now for the first time in print,
though the particulars ;have long been
known to ua and to many other newspa
per men and prominent citizens of this
State, as to nearly all the citizens f
Broadhead, where the parties so long re
sided. La Cros3e Danocrat.
A WlKDKALL FOI1 SoiIEBODT.- A SOme-
what rare and novel incident recently oc
curred in the lower end of Paradise town
ship, l"ork county. In that locality resi
ded a family of deaf and dumb, consisting
of one man aud two women, brother and
sisters, named Anders or Anderson. They
had a bi other in Richmond, Virginia, now
dead, who was very wealthy. The broth
er nrocured a farm fur his deaf and dumb
relatives, some distance below Berlin, in
Paradise township, and employed a Mr.
Gisa to take care of them. They were
very industrious and stingy, saving every
cent. A short timo ago the last survivor
cf them died, and sale was made of their
effects. Among theso was au old chest,
which was purchased by a Mr. Jacobs n
neighbore Upon removing the chest,
suspicion was excited that there wa3 some
thing unusual in the appearance and
weight of it, and upon examination it
was discovered that it had a "false" or
two bottoms, between which were secre
ted several small bags of gold and a large
amount of bank notes on the York Coun
ty Bank, in the aggregate amounting to a
large sum probably from five to ten thou
sand dollars. It is stated that suit has
been instituted by the heirs to recover the
money.
A Remarkable Story. A gentleman,
in whose credibility the most implicit con
fidence may be placed, relates the follow
ing singular story, the parties to which,
and tho material facts involved, are per
6onalIy known to him.
A young lady named Ilolen Hunter,
living between Dycusburg and Princeton,
Kentucky, during a protracted religious
meeting held during tho month of Novem
ber, under the influence of religious ex
citementfell into a trance, and remained
in a state of apparent unconciousness for
a period of five days. When he was
aroused from tho state of lethargy into
which she had fallen, she related the ex
perience of the five days during which she
professed to have passed into the othes
world and witnessed the glories of Para
dise as well as the horrors of the bottom
less pit. But the remarkable feature of
the story is that she predicted that three
young men, then apparently in the most
robust health, would die before the year
was out. A week after the prediction
was made one of the young men took sick
and died in a few days. A week or ten
days of the now year the third one exs
pired. Evansvillc Journal, 1th.
Some astonished lumbermen in On

commenced to rise, and shortly after ex
ploded with a noise resembling a cannon
