A. sap talc of burying alive comes from
,New Orleans. In July last MilF Crane, a
teacher in one of the public schools, died
very suddenly, of what was pronounced sun
stroke. Her body ryas buried
. the next day
at ten o'clock, and her Mothel' tent home
almost broken-hearted.. One'nfght recently
the mother, after passing a moat distressing
dal'', fele aileep late at night 44 dreamed
that her daughter had been buried alive. She
jumped up in a frantic state, and rushed to
her son-in-law's chamber, crying,"My daugh
ter is buried alive! What shall Ido ?" To
sleep any more that night was out of the
'question.: - •%it length the proposition was
made to have the laxly disinteqed, just to
satisfy•her. So, early the next morning, the
body, 'Which had been pieced in a metallic
coffin, was turned over, the glass covering
the face was broken to atoms, the ends of the
fingers beaten and battered all to pieces, the
hair torn out in handrails, and the shroud
torn in many places.
Ong or the ladies who took part in. the
discussion of the woman suffrage question, in
the convention at Boston, last, week, varied
the entertainment by declining to enter into
the usual denuitciations of the tyrant, man.
We refer to Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who Is
described by the New York Times as "the
poeless, dramatist, traveler, pbilosopher,
story writer, and wife of Dr. Hcnve,tlMphil
anthropist." She said: "One of tho features
that have-offended ma in the earlier advocacy
of the extended palitleal efficiency of woman
presented, itself in the unkind suggestions
made and entertained concerning the oppo-
site sex. Ido not want to hear abuse 'of my
father, ginndfather, uncles, and male relatives
in genera do not even wish to hear my
husband hinted at Ss a Satan behind the
scenes.. If we look around in this assembly
we shall convinced that the friends of man
are the f ends of woman!!

HOW TO SEE NIAGARA.
To see Niagara You buy eleven silk dreisep
for your wife, and six shirts for _yourself.
Top then get all the ready money'you have,
borrow all your friends 'bave, and make ar
rangements for unlimited credit at two or
three solvent binkk :You then take six
trunks, some m.ore money, a nurse, a colored
servant, some more money, and extending
your credit at one or two more strong banks,
you set out. It is best, if possible, just before
you leave, to mortgage your homestead and
get some, more money.
After getting there, your cheapest plan
will be to purchase a hotel, and a carriage
and team. You stay there a week, and then
give away the hotel and carriage, and still
make money by the operation. ,
If not disposed to economy, yon can pur
sue the ordinary lavish way of taking rooms
at a earravansary, and paying for everything
at the regular rates.
• The firstatep in seeing Niagara is to dress
your wife in one 'of the most expensive suits.
'Yourself ditto. Your wife then goes into
the parlors - on exhibition. Yen light a cigar,
go out nn the veranda, and put your heels
high up On a coluniti. While your wife finds
out If any body has any more expensive
clothes than she, -you occupy yourself in try
ing to stare
_some woman out_ of counte
nance.
As a general thing your last effort will be
a failure. , _
Sometimes alter people have examined
each other for a week or en, in tho parlors
and at the dinner table, they take n fancy to
go out_ ana look at some water, which, at
this place, runs over a bill. This is not al
woks' done. Nevertheless, when there is a
lull in other affairs,-some of.the morn ener
getic visitors go out and visit the river. -
The water tells over a precipice at a point
some sixty. feet from the rear of the hotel.
To visit this remarkable phenomenon you
negotiate for a. barouche, a pair of horses
and a driver. To'get over this sixty feet you
get in the carriage for three miles. This is
what happened to me:
toFfitallicaretr&tlivtreiMetei l tati e
whirlpool ; Paid him a dollar for the inff r
tination, and then went down to see the
whirlpool
You have an.eXcellent view of the whirl.
pool from the top* of the bank: But there
are stairs which go down to the water where
the view is not half so good, owing to the
lowness of the situation. You can go down
in half an hour if you hurry. When you
get down to the bottom , you can see nothr
g, and therefore prepare to ascend.
It is boiling hot, and an ascent of five hun
dred steps stares you in the face.. ,
When one reschet the top he has just life
enongh •in him to be able to read a sign
which has been hung up while he was away:
" One dollar each, to be appropriated for the
benefit of - orphans." • •
My representation to the young man, that
I was an orphan, produced no effect. It was
some other orphan that he labored for. He
was an orphan of about fifty years. I felt
sorry for his Motherless condition.
There is another desolate -orphan there,
who is armless, and who is bereft of his
parents at the tender aze of sixty-five. For
being an orphan, and not havin.o , any arms,
he collects a dollar from each 'visitor. •
Paying the driver another dollar for hav
ing waited on me, I continued my journey to
the Falls. The next move ofgetting . to the
Falls consists of driving into Canada. For
the privilege of driving over into Canada,
one pay* a man a dollar.
The Canadian journey to the Falls is ro
mantic and Mil of incident. You begin by
paying something to a woman who charges
for passing something
house.
The next view of the Falls is a blind man
with a camera. You pay him something.
There is a legless man with a prism. You pay
him something.
' Another fine view of the Fall occurs here.
You pay a man five dollars for a photograph
of yourself seated in your carriage. -
As you drive along lent obtain views of
the Falls by disbursing at a hotel for lemon
ades, to ifk blind man, to an Indian, to some•
body who exhibits a stuffed wild cat, to a
woman with fawns, to a man with rocks,
and some sixty or seventy others: The regu
lar minimum charge for each one of these is
one dollar.- • 7-• - •
-
- After having paid these respective charges,
the carriage goes back to the botch' and
dnres over on Go it island. There is a charge

The drive is a fine one. Being completely
shut in with trees, it is shady and cool: In
-the distance one catches glimpses of water.
Returning to the hotel, after a drive of five
hours, I dismissed the carriage, and then
walked out on the back [torch, and for a first
time gut a view of the Falls. The next day
I went under the Fills. For going under
the Falls, you pay' omebody two dollars. '
Going sunder the-Falls can be arranged at

arrange It at Itomo a person should array

done, let him have a servant screw a hose on
a fire plug, and then play the stream full in
the face. Let this be continued for tall ten
minutes ; after which, he should, to keep up
the imitation of Niagara, ,pay the servant
five dollars, and then commence doctoring
himself for the catarrh, a tremendous . cold,
and a severe rheumatism. -

more than half a million, to three daughters

altif/ Aten Tuyl one of the married daughters
of Mr. Taylo r , commenced a suit against Otto
M. E. Van Tito And others, for a partition of
the property. The &ceased, it appears, died
intestate, and hence no other course than
this was open to the claimants. Eminent
counsel appeared for both thq r contestants, -
and the leading features of the case having
been presented to the Court, it was decided
'that the defence should proceed to prove the
legitimacy of the children alleged to be the
offspring of the deceased . The case was op.
cued by - Mr. Samuel E. Lyon on behalf of
the ehildren, and Mrs. Catharine Taylor de
posed to the circumstances which led to her
intimacy and subsequent marital relations

house as a seamstress and chambermaid, and'
first made his acquaintance in March, 1853,
in New York. Atter the rdeathi of his wife,

removed to Rye, she accompanied them.
She was then 17 years of age, an , I Mr. Tay
lor about 40. lie befrim his courtship by
paying marked attention to her, and as he
did not live very happily- with his family, he
came to see her very frequently, and finally
made proposals to her in her own room, tell
ing her that, lie wanted somebody to be more
of a companion to him than his own daugh•
tcrs wore:- He- iTeke of marriage, she said
she did not think rich and poorshould go to
gether. lie was very urgent, and very affix
donate, insisting that the marriage ceremony;
was not necessary in their ease, that the fact
of their intimate relation would be sufficient
proof of marriage, and that as to rich and
poor, ho married his tirst wife in a calico
dress, and 60 she Onalle consented to stand
in tho-e relations with him, especially as ho
offered to have the marriage solemnized at
the expiration IA two years liaise should then
desire it. •She bore three children to him,
one of whom died. He visited herregularly
two or three times a week, taught his children,
to call Win "papa" and was very fond of them.
She had introduced him as her "husband" to
friends, and be never objected—and he fre
quently called her "wife" and "Kate." He
bought a house at Harlem for her to reside
in, and she received him there a few days be
fore his death. lie was very weak, and she
had to support him on her arm across the
bridge. She heard of his death through an
anonymous hand. He was always very kind
to Iter,and provided tier with every necessary
she required. '
The Jury returned a verdict to the effect
that Mrs.Tavlor was his lawful wife, amid is
the lawful widow of the late William Taylor,
and that the children are his issue by her.
Ex-Judge Nelson asked to have proceedings
stayed to give time to carry the case to the
"General 'ran:if the Supreme Court, and
thirty days were • allowed lbr the purpose.
Mrs. T. teeeived the congratulation of her
friends on the result.
