A Bio bTttiKB. The well of Thomas

Is it delirium, or imagination, or memory
or a deeply seated religious feeling that
cause people on their death-beds to talk as
it bas been known many christians have
talked belore they died? Do they really
see that of which they rpeak? Tbe Ithacan
relates a scene at the deathbed of Kitty
Skinner, who died in Ithaca oil the 24th of
March. She was on of tbe victims of tbe
Lang family poisoning ease. It Is one of
the most touching Incident that bas come
to our knowledge In a loog time.
''Little Kittk- contiuned to crow worse
until between 7 and 8 o'clock Wednesday
nigbt, when ber suffering became intense.
She could wilb diticulty be kept quiet, and
only by giving a great deal ot aati-stbetics.
All the time she anked for cooling substance
as snow and ice, on account of her burning
stomacb. At last death came to tho little
autt'erer't relief, but gradually, for niter she
became easier she could talk. She talked
Constantly of ber relatives, and sbe saw
Bella Lang, (who whs tuiried last week)
and she had a beautiful wbito dress all
platted about the waist, and gathered in
skirt. Sbe said she wanted to be dressed
like Bella, for she wa to benntirul. Not
long before the died, in tbe midst of ber
talk, tk said, 'paps,' (ber lather was
buried on the 22d of January) 'take hold of
my hand and help me aero?.' Between 6
and 7 Thursday sbe bieatbed ber last."
Tbe Uuited States Treasurer, a few days
ago, received a letter ftom S. L. Carpenter,
of Kansas City, Mo., enclosing a dreadfully
battered twen'y-tive cent note for exchange.
But having s m j conscientious scruples as
to the genuineness of tbe rag, the writer
begged tbe Treasurer not to brand It as a
counterfeit. He said ba was a poor boy,
to whom twenty-five conts was a matter of
gt tut Importance, and if tbe enclosed should
prove to be bogus, be would like to have It
returned, as he knew a place where be
could spend it for lager beer.

In addition to the taut that ice is light
