DISEASE AND ITS AGONIES:
CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM.
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
NERVOUS DISORDERS
What is more fearful than a breaking down of the ner
voue system? To be excitable or nervous in a small de
gree is most dartressing, for where can a remedy be found?
There is one:—drink but little wine, beer, cr spirits, or
far better, none; take no coffee—weak tea being prefera
ble; get all the fresh air you can; take three or four
Pills every night eat plenty of solids, avoiding the nee of
slops; and if these golden rules are followed, you will be
happy in mind and strong in body, and forget you have
any nerves.
MOTIIERS AND DAUGHTERS.
If there is one thing more than another for Which these
Pills are so famous, it is their purifying properties, es
pecially their power of clensing the blood from all im
purities, and removing dangerous and suspended secre
*done. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy for
female complaints, they never fail, never weaken the
system, and always brings about what is required.
SICK HEADACHES AND WANT OF
APPETITE.
These feelings which so sadden us, most frequently
arise from annoyances or trouble, from obstructed prespi
ration, or from eating and drinking what is unfit for us,
thus disordering the liver and stomach. These organs
must he regulated if you wish to be well. The Pills, if
taken according to the printed instructione, will quickly
restore a healthy action to both liveraud stomach, whence
follow, as a natural conseqence, a good appetite and a
clear head. In the East and West Indies scarcely any
other medicine is ever used for these disorders.
HOW TO BE STRONG
Never let the bowels be confined or unduly acted upon.
It may appear singular that Holloway's Pills should
recommended for a run upon the bowels, many persons
supposing that they would increase relaxation. This is a
great mistake, however; for these Pills Will immediately
correct the liver and ski) every kind of bowel complaint.
In warm climates thousands of lives have been saved by
the use of this medicine, which in all cease gives tone and
vigor to the whole organic system, however deranged,—
health acid strength following as a matter ofcourse. The
appetite, too, is wonderfully increased by the use of these
Pills, combined in the use of solid in preference to fluid
diet. Animal food is better than broths and stews. By
removing acrid, fermented, or other impure humors from
the liver, stomach, or blood, the cause of dysentery, diar
rhoea, and other bowel complaints isexpelled. The result
is, that the disturbance is arrested, and the action of the
bowels becomes regular. Nothing will stop the relaxa
tion of the bowels so quickly as this fine correcting med
icine.
DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEYS
In all diseases affecting these organs, whether they
secrete too much or too little water; or whether they be
.afilict.d with atone or gravel, or with aches and pains
settled in the loins over the regions of the kidneys, these
Pills should be taken according to the printed directions,
and the Ointment, should be well rubbed into the small of
the back at bedtime. This treatment will give almost im
mediate relief when all other means have failed.
FOR STOMACHS OUT. OF ORDER
No medicine will so effectually improve the tone of the
stomach as these pills; they remove all acidity, occasioned
either by intemperance or improper diet. They reach
the liver and reduce it to a healthy action ; they are won
derfully efficacious in cases of spasm—in fact they never
fail in curing all disorders of the liver and stomach.

Our First Gray Hair
BY IVALTESt C. IIOWDEN
As the first big pattering drops that fall
With a splash on our lattice pane
Make as shiver and start as they warn us all
Of a storm or of coming rain ;
So it is with life when we're grong old
Aud age steals on unawares—
We shiver and start if the truth were told,
At the sight of our first gray hair.
We mark not the light of our noonday hours,
Like the first streak the dawn dot h bring;
We hail not the birth of the summer flowers
As we do the first snow-drop of spring;
On the bleak winter winds we look not with grief
Though it howl through the branches hare ;
But we sigh when we see the brown autumn leaf
And behold Nature's first gray hair.
Gray hair may come when the beaming eye
Has none of its brightness lost,
When the bouyant hearts we will fain deny
Youth's Rubicon has been cros-ed;
But the ivy-clad tree looks young and green,
Though a sapless trunk be there,
And naught of decay on our cheeks may be seen,
When we witness our first gray hair.
Oh, a noble crown to a noble life
Is a head of silvery gray,
And 'tie well if tired with struggle and strife
It finds rest at the close of day,
But gray•headed sin is a crownless curse,
And the parent of dark despair,
And it gives us a pang, oh, doubly wore.,
Than the sight of our first gray hair.
Come early, come late, like a knock at the gate,
Is that first soft, silvery thread,
And it joins with its silence the years that wait
With the years forever fled;
It silently tell, us we're j.,urri,ving
on—
It silently - questions us—Where?
Oh, a faithful wile Acme, were truth but known,
Is stem in our first gray hair.
Ely *tarp-LT-411er.
WHO WAS THE THIEF ?
It was not because Rhoda Chauncey was
not exceedingly pretty that Airs. [lavers
objected to her marriage with her son .
Allen, nor because she was not an exceed
ingly nice and accomplished person, and
all that a another might wish her son's
wife to be, but simply because she was
what Mrs Havers called a nobody, and
that family potentate felt the necessity of
alliance with somebody.
Rhoda Chauncey was simply the friend
and companion of Mrs. King ; an adopted
child, without any of the privileges of
adoption, as you might say—that is c9ei
fortable in the present, and unprovided in
the future.
"I shall tell her plainly what she may
expect if she accepts you," said Mrs. Ha
vers to her son one day. "Your father
and I discard you on that day."
"0 pshaw What nonsense !"
"Nonsense or not, you will find to your
cost, if yon try. We have reached our
position by bitter effort.. We cannot give
our consent to being pulled down from the
heightb we have struggled so hard to gain
for the mere whim of a lave sick boy. If
I must have a rival with my son, cried
Mrs. Havers, the fire of her anger drying
her sparkling tears before they fell, "let
it be somebody who will bring some sort
of compensation with her. Rhoda Chauncy
—a beauty, maybe ; - I never saw any beauty
in her; but a beggar, certainly No. You
shall have the money to go abroad and
forget her; you cannot have it to marry
her. Your father and I are of one mind
there. You have parts. You can do bet
ter, you fool !"
That was the way in which Mrs. Havers
talked to her son Allen on occasion, when
chance and courage served ; and that was
the meaning of the more stilted way in
which she talked to Mrs. King at the din
ner given by the latter to young Governor
Armisted, of whom Mrs. Havers had
spoken to her son, as the two ladies stood
side by side at the fire a few moments,
after they had left the table, while Rhoda
sung and young Havers turned the music,
and a general hum of low voices filled the
air of the lovely room at any pause. "You
know, my dear Mrs. King, she said, the
color burning on her cheek as the firelight
burned upon the purple luster of her vel
vet robe, that a young man has heights to
ascend, and must not overweight himself.
It is not what his father has made him,
but what he makes himself, that counts
If he has ambitions, he is foolish to marry
at all till he can, as dealers say, command
the market •if he does marry, he must marry to help, not hinder. To start on a
race handicapped," said Mrs Havers, as
suring herself with her white hand that
her splendid diamond stones were still in
their nest of lace on her breast, "that ex
plains the failure of so many careers that
looked so brilliant at the outset."
"We should scarcely agree with you
here," said Mrs. King, smiling ; "we think
that a good wife is the best start in life a
young man can have."
But Mrs. Havers was already listening
to the remark of some others joining the
group. It was a few moments later that
she beckoned the passing Rhoda to her
side on the deep lounge, where she had
ensconsed herself luxuriously. Never was
anybody more aptly named than this sweet
girl, for she was always , blushing like a
rose. But of course Mrs. Havers eould
only think it the guilty blush of the one
who bad entrapped her son, and could not
look his mother in the eye. She was not
the person to appreciate the lovely, lofty
innocence of that snowy brow, that violet
eye, that dewy lip. Rhoda came obediently,
and sat by Mrs. Havers, doing her best,
as any member of a family does, to enter
tain a guest; and they talked of one in
different thing and another, till, in a mo.
ment of comparative quiet, Allen's laugh
was beard ringing from another part of
the house.
"Poor boy !" said Mrs Havers. looking
in his direction, "poor boy ! You can
hardly tell how a mother feels,Miss Rhoda,"
she paused with emotion, "when I hear
my boy laugh so gayly," she said, "and
think of the sad way lying before every
aspiring youth ; and Allen is so ambitious !"
"Sad, Mrs. Havers ?"
"Ah, yes; sad indeed, when, as a rule,
he must surrender either his ambition or
his happiness—that is, surrender what he
calls happiness uow. I suppose Allen
would regard it, as all young men do, hap
piness now to marry a penniless girl, if he
should think that he loved her. Twenty
years from now he would find it the mis
fortune of his life, of his whole life, and
the one thing that has ruined his career.
Do you understand me, my dear Miss
Chauncey ?"
"Not at all," answered Rhoda, calmly.
"I. think if he loved a girl, however pen-
niless, he would do better to marry her,
and have her comfort on his way."
Mrs. Havers' face grew white, and then
grew purple, with her suppressed vitupera
tion. "But it would be an outrage !" she
exclaimed, unable to keep silence wholly.
"It would be his death blow, his ruin in
more ways than one. For if it were my
son, I would never forgive him. My doors

shiluld be shut upon him. Do you hear.
Miss Chauncey ?"
Miss Chauncy did not reply. Young
Governor Armisted was atoaping to speak
with her just then, and taking his arm she
rat her abruptly left Mrs. Havers, and Mrs.
(lavers presently rather abruptly left the
house.
It was on the next morning that Mrs.
Havers appeared at Mrs. King's door, and
on meeting the lady of the house, declared
that she must excuse her for her early in
Erasion, but she was really in great dis
tress, a- she had lost last night the central
diamond from her brooch ; and she begged
that the rocws might be examined, to see
if by any chance it had been dropped there.
Of course the household was instantly
in commotion. Everybody remembered
that diamond—you were not likely to for
get it, once having seen it, especially on
Mrs. Havers' person—a very uncommon
stone, worth, perhaps, a couple of thous
and dollars; everybody was upon the
search for it, in all disinterested eagerness ;
and in less than five minutes Miss Chaun
cey had espied it where it had been flung
by Mrs. Havers in the sudden movements
or her anger on the night btf'ore, and had
given it to Mrs. King, who placed it in
Mrs. Havers' delighted and grateful hand
—a plump, fair hand it was, but it closed
over that stone, nevertheless, much as the
crooked talons of some old Hindostanee
trader in diamonds would have done.
"M./ dear madam," said the jeweler, as
Mrs. slavers took from her portetuonnaie,
On entering his shop shortly afterward, the
little roll of silver paper in which she had
wrapped the loose stone, and then passed
it over to him, "do you mean that you
wish one to take the diamond out of the
brooch I sold you, and substitute this for
it ?"
out already, and I wiQh you tr,
put it back again," said Mr?. Buyers. "I
lost it, and came directly here with it when .
fund."
"This !" said the jeweler, holding it up
contemptously between his thumb and
finger. "You have made a curious mis
take. Mrs. Havers, permit me to say."
"A mistake ? 1 have brought you the
stone exactly as it was picked up."
"Indeed ! Then some one has practiced
a great knavery upon you. This is a very
prettily cut piece or glass."
"May I ask where the rest of the pia
"It is at home," whispered Mrs. Havers,
with white lips.
"Let me drive borne with you, Mrs. Ha
vers. I should like to look into this mat
ter a little. Some thief has your dia
mond."
The color canto back to Mrs. Havers'
lips; h,:~r eyes flashed ; her whole soul
lightened with a new idea. She directed
the coachman to drive to the central po
lice .tation, arid from there she sent an or
der fn. her husband to deliver her dia
monds to the detective, who wis to bring
them to Mrs. • King's. "Drive to the
Kings !" she cried to the coachman ; and
lost in triumphant thought, she did not
utter a word to the jeweler till they arri
ved at the latter place. Then she sprung
from the carriage. "Come !" she said;
and she was in Mrs. King's drawing room
before the astonished footman could read
her card. She was walking up and down
the floor in a kind of a glad fury when
Mrs. King came in ; the loss of that dia
mond was clear gain. "Yon have a thief
in your house, Mrs. King !" she cried.
"The person who gave me a bit of glass
for my great 'diamond 1"
"Mrs. Havers- 1"
"I repeat it, Mrs. King. Where is
Miss Chauncey ? I demand to see her !
My Allen and that girl, indeed !" Her
enraged face glowed with a strange, sudden
smile of exultation. "What an escape 1"
she cried. "To think of thief !"
"Mrs. Ilavers !" cried Mrs. King again;
"are. you beside yourself?" I will not list
en to such language !"
You will have to listen to a great deal
mole of it, Mrs. King. I hive a detee.
tire cowing directly, rho will speak to
some purpose, and with the music of
handcuffs. Let. nic confront her first !"
exclaimed Mrs. [lavers, clasping her !lauds
as if' she longed to lay them on the culprit.
"Let. me see this thief meet him I" And
she I,u,rhed a laugh of vindictive malice.
"What will Allen say when I te:l him ?"
she cried. "Why, if I had known she
was to have been bought off I would have
paid her the price of the diamond, and
welcome, and she would have spared her
self this disgrace. But now I shall not
rest till I see her head shaved and her
prison gown on. Of all things, a thief—
the most loathy ! prison worms themselves
are not so foul to me. Yes, Mss Rhoda
Chauncey, you will not soon again defy
me when I tell you my determination !
Much comfort on his way would such as
you be I wish Allen were here ; you
would see 'eve turn into scorn on his face
like a transformation. If you robbed me
before you married my son, what in the
world could I expect after !"
She paused, because just then Rhoda
entered the room, and stood before her,
white and radiant, all her rosy blushes
gone, but her faith shinin ,, in wrathful
fire. She had come down just as she was,
her splendid hair flowing loose over her
long white dressing gown like a veil—an
apparition of magnificent beauty and in•
dignation.
Mrs. Ilavers looked her over from head
to foot with a horrid insolence, and burst
into a shocking laugh. "It is.innocence
itself !" she cried. "How well dressed,
how well posed, how well acted ! Aha,
miss, you will look just as innocent in a
blue jean prison gown, with your hair
cropped ! You marry my boy, with your
ways and wiles !"
"What is this, my dear i" and Mr. King
came into the room, and a tall form fol
lowed behind him—that of young Armi
sted.
"It is a crazy woman, William."
"Crazy !" cried Mrs. Havers. "That
girl may well wish I were ! This is what
it is, Mr. King : I drop a diamond from
my pin in this nom. A person finds it,
keeps it, gives me in its place a cunningly
cut bit of glass. What does such a person
deserve ? The State prison. And here
comes the officer to see that she has her
deserts."
It was the detective whom James won
deringly admitted, and who murmured a
swift apology to Mr. King, stepped to Mrs.
Havers' side, and in a few words gave her
to understand that she was a little pre
mature, and had perhaps better go home.
"Premature cried she. "When I
lose a diamond, and that girl gives me a
bit of glass, is it premature for me to say
so ? ?Do your duty, officer, and arrest
the thief at once ! Have you been at my
house ? Have you brought me the pin ?'
"Yes, Mrs. Havers."
"You ought to have brought my son."
"That is true."
"Let me have it !" she cried, stepping
I,rward imperiously and taking it. "There'
Do you see ? That is the vacint place of
the missing stone, and here is the piece of
glass. Will you let me have it, Mr Dim
itry ? This is the pin you sold me, is it
not? And this is the glass she gave me."
"This is the setting of the Pin," said
the jeweler, gravely, "for there is your
owu name upon it in my own marking,
but these are not the stones I sold you.—
They are also glass—four pieces of glass.
The stone that you lost last night was un
doubtedly glass als.), and that is it. You
were robbed, not last night, but long ago,
Mrs. Havers."
"It is impossible !" gasped Mrs. Havers,
her face darkening with her feeling. "I
was robbed last night, and I demand the
arrest here and now. No paltering be.
cause it is in this house and in this com
pany. Here and now do your duty, or I
will Fee to it that. you are removed from
your post."
"You force me to be veil , explicit, Mrs.
Havers," exclaimed the officer, reddening.
"And since you want an arrest, you shall
have it—if you still say so. Last March,
when you were ill, your pin was taken from
your house to a certain pawnbroker's, the
stones were removed and sold, the crystals
were put in their place, the pin was taken
back and put in your jewel box—by the
only person who knew where its key was
to be found. We have hog been cogni
zaut of all the fists, and waiting on your
movements. The money was :pent
riotous living. The thief, Mrs. Havers,
was nobody that you suspect, it was your
son."
"My son ?" she shrieked.
"Your son. h remains with you to say
whether or not the arrest shall take place."
_ _

A Word to Parents.
Not lon;,-, ago a tcach'r in one a our
public schools was convicted of having had
in his possession certain vilepatnphlets and
pictures, which he used for the demorali
zation of his pupils. The man's sentence
was a heavy one, but there was probably
no father or mother who would not will.
ingly have doubled it, to be sure that their
children were safe from the c irrupting in
fluence of such a twinster. We wish to
warn them, as we have warned them be
fore, that there is just as corrupting an
influence daily set before their children
who pass through the streets on their way
to school, which parents appear strangely
to ignore. We wean the flash newspapers
and cheap novels which are offered for
sale to half-grown boys and girls by their
venders, or thrust gratuitously into- their
hands as they pass, with the certainty that
they will buy the succeeding numbers.—
Very few girls and fewer boys, unless they
are forewarned can resist the tempting dra
matic pictures of kneeling women, with
streaming hair, bravos armed to the teeth,
etc. The opening chapters seem harmless
enough, and the bay or girl, reared most
probably in a refined Christian home,
plunges unchecked into the offal of kitchen
literature. These papers and magazines
to which we advert would not strictly fall
under the prohibition against obscene pub
lications, and so they manage to escape the
law ; but the views ui life they present are
those taken front the grogshop and gamb
ling hell ; their very atmosphere is crime
A buy who would be simply disgusted by
the open vice in publications which the
law prohibits accepts the concEaled poison
in these without suspicion. When we
read or inurdererB of f;Jurteen years old, of
hur 4 lars of nine, of delicately reared girls
in the first bloom of innocent youth leaving
their homes and coming to the city in the
mad desire far adventure, to be rescued on
the very verge of ruin, we can trace the
motive cause in every case to these publi
cations, or their draatatizatiou on the boards
of variety theatres. Id even the best class
of juvenile literature belonging to the
(resent day, there is too much of fever
and unrest. The child's brain, crammed
and forced at school, is still further heated
by tales of wild adventure or fhutastic im
probing. "Robison Orusoe" and the
"Parents' Assistant" are meted dull by our
boys ; even Scott's magic wand moves too
slowly to enchant them But if our best
juvenile literature be thus opened to criti
cism, what is to be said of this the lowest
deep ? We speak the warning advisedly
to parents It would be well if you would
pay closer attention not only to the books
which arc bought for them to study at
school, but to those which they buy them
selves to study outside.—New York Tri
brine.

Success in Life.
The world's greatest workers are not
always rewarded according to their merits;
and exper;ence confirms the truth of the
saying, that "the race is not to the swift,
or the battle to the strong." We see the
fool rolling in riches, while a wise man
wears out a wretched existence in a singie-
handed fight with adversity. We see
quackery parading in purple and fine linen,
and houes.ty strug2ling tnantully tin. bread.
The carpet knight takes precedence of the
toil worn soldier, and the tumbling mounte
bank attracts greater crowds than the elo
quent divine. Adventurers who can
ft.;kic the fancy and hit the public taste
are rewarded with fame and fortune, while
genius is made to feel the pangs of disap
pointment, ingratitude, and neglect.. Or
course, wherever property is secure, it will
accumulate, and as long as men are differ
ently constituted, there will be riches and
poverty. Children will be born to inherit
wealth, while others will come into the
world amid destitution ; and this arrange.
ment is in accordance with human nature,
and teaches that the rewards of merit are
almost as eccentric as the accidents of
birth. There are men who seem to wake
money out of everything they take in hand,
while others remain poor in spite of in
dustry and attention. The author of the
"Hunchback" lived a poor actor, and died
a pensioner on Government, while the pro-
ducer of a trashy sensational drama net
his thousands in a season.
A Wonderful Story .
A CHERRY PIT SPROUTS AND Ofts,WA ICI
AN UNFOLTUNATE TIOTHAMITE'S SOTNI
ACH—TiIF. PHYSICIANS BAFFLED.
From the title }'nrk S,nodny Ner,rar.,;.
Last, summer a young New Yorker. nam
ed Henderson, swallowed a cherry-stone.
At the end of a wcek he was seized with
violent pains in the steinach. and could get
no relief. It was pitiable to witness his
sufferings, so intense and exerneiatint did
they appear to be. The piing man Co..
tinned to suffer, and grew thinner and pa
ler every day. At the end of pia wet ks he
had become so feeble that he was eompell
ed to leave his bwiness and confine him
self to bed. llis physicans did not under
scald the ease.. The symptoms were en
tirely unique. He said that he ezperiitne
ed a sensation as if something were grad
ually spreading among and tying up his
intestines. The physicians arrived at the
conclusion that he was afflicted with ar,rms.
and treated hint aceori:ingly, bur with no
effect.
Witater the discirte t
baffle the pharmacopeia, and the ilr,etors
and the broken-hearted nioaer a ere (Ni g .
d t• - i stand idly by and see 3.oting Ilk h
sou die before their eie. In the nn
time, his snfferinzs iocr.mscd. Sleep %via
almost a t.trangor to him, and he e, tupain
ed mor e and more if the peculiar f~ link
of a vitality in the intestines, tiistinet from
his own. After lying for four menths, he
died :n great agony. Weak ss 1..! he
seemed to he posesEeil of z io.titious
strength, and at the time of his exertion:,
in the paroxysms of agony to which he was
subj:cted, two nun coind with diffieuity
hold him on the bed. After ytt:aag Hen
derson's death, the rase had exeited so
much attention in medical circles. t:le con
sent of the mother was obtained to an
autopsy- being made epic* iy. in
citations were sent to sevc•ral
of the city, and the investigation com
menced of what was to be a cause cekbre
in medical history. On opening the body,
incredible as it may appear. it was discos
ered that a cherry-stone had sprouted in
the stomach of the unfortunate young man.
The assembled doctors coolil hardly credit
the testimony of their own eyea, palpable
although it was before them lily some
peculiar process the ch_!rry-stone, after
having become lodged in young nuttier
son's stomach, hail actually sprouted as
thrifty as if it hal teen planted in the
ground.
The strange pains of the young man
were now accounted for. for proceeding
from the cherry-stone were shoots of flares
which had ramified through the intestines
of the victim, and in come instances, had
coiled themselves tightly around theta. In
the vicinity of the heart there were a
number of these shoots, and one of them,
larger than the rest, in pressing np this
organ, had been the immetFat• (Anse of
death. Of these shoots there were in a:1
fourteen, varying in length from three to •
nine inches. In color they were white.
with a faint, yellowish green tinge toward
the base. The shoot which had pressed
against young Henderson's heart was con
siderably thicker and larger than the rest,
and bad a peculiar reddish tinge, which
the others bad not. The shoots were so
closely twined and twisted around the in
testines that it was found impossible to re
move them, and so they have been pre
served to science. The case, however. was
so entirely sui generic that in all prob*bil
ity a full and scientific account of it will
be written and published by the physicians
and surgeons interested in it.
Home Life a Hundred Years Ago.
One hundred years ago n 4 a pound of
coal or a cubic foot of iltuminatinir gas had
been burned iu the country. N.. iron
stoves used and emtrivaatres for t:c..ina,n;
zing heat were ernplored until Dr. Frank.
invented the iron iratned fireplace
wi4ich still betirs his narnii. Ail :h.. cook•
iug and warming in town as well as in the
country, were done by the ;id of fire kin
dled on the brick hearth or in brick ovens.
Pine knots or tallow eandles furaished
light for the long t; inter nights, and sand
ed flo,rs supplied the place Gr rugs And
carpets. The water ia.ed for lieusehoid
purposes was drawn trout deep weds by
the creriking •:sweep.•' No 11-rtu of pump
was used in the country. so tar as w: ran
learn until the coinuleaccttlent of the pres
ent century. There were no frietiou
matches in those early days, by the aid of
which a fire could he easi:y kindled, and
if the fire 'went out" upon the hearth
over night and the tinder was damp so
that the spark would not catch, the alter
native remained of wading through the
snow a mile or two to borrow a brand of a
neighbor. Only one room of any horse
was warm unless some member of the fam
ily was ill ; in all the rest the home tem
perature was at zero during many nights
in winter. The men and women of a hun
dred years ago undressed and went to
their beds in a temperature colder than in
our modern barns and wood-sheds, and
they never complained.
Petrified Body in a Coffin.
On the 23d of June last J. L. Pastuer
died of abscess of the liver, at Greene's
Hotel. He was buried in the Masonic
Cemetery, in a wooden coffin, confined in
the usual outer case. On Thursday of last
week J. A. Campbell, an undertaker of
San Francisco, had the body taken up and
removed to San Francisco. The men en
gaged in unearthing the body were very
much atraid that, on reaching the corpse,
the effluvin would be terrible. The outer
case, when reached, broke through, it was
so rotten ; but on opening the coffin the
corpse was found to be perfectly petrified,
and retaiuing, even to the whi:ikers and
hair, a perfectly enteral appenranoe. The
body was hi such a e9nditien as to Exraiit
its being raised at the head and stood on
its feet, and handled as one would a statue.
It was shipped as freight, itielesed in a
common wooden box, and weighing, hoz
included, 200 pound.:. At the time of his
death deceased weighed 110 pounds, and
as the box the body was shipped in could
not have weighed over sixty pounds, the
body seems to have lost nothing in weight
during its six months' burial.—Alta. Cal.

often mistaken for it. Its source is Menu
