TuE BURIED ALivE.-The following from the

eject of the absurd rumors, frequently stated, OF
persons being buried alive:
In the midst Of exaggeration and invention,
there Is one undoubted circumstance which for
mcrly excited the worst apprehensons-the fact
uit bodies were often found turned in their cof-
fins and the graye-clothes disauanged. But what
was ascribed, with seeming reason, TO thfoes OF
vitality. Is now known to be due TO the agency Of
corruption. A gas is developed in the deeayed
bodies which mimics, by Us mechanical force,
many of the movements Of lie. 80 powerful IS
the gas in corpses that have lain long in the water
that Mr.. Deyerge, the physician to the Morgue at
Paris. and the author Of textbook on legal
medicine. SAYS that unless secured TO the table
they are often heayed up and thrown to the
ground
Frequently strangers seeing the motion Of the
limbs. nun to the keeper Of the Morgue, and an
nounce with horror that the person IS alive
All bodies, sooner or later, generate gas IN ihe
grave, and It constantly twists about me CORPSE

What strange events have occurred within few
years in reference TO that mani We knew him

Not long prior TO his leaving the United States
he was arrested for misdemcanor committed

The Wag onner.

I've often thought if were asked
Whose lot | enved most
What one, thought most lightly tasked
Of Gods unnumbered host
I'd say, I'd be mountain boy
And drive noble team Wo, hoyi
We, hoy I'd cry
And lightly fly
Into my saddle seat
My rein I'd slack
My whip I'd crack,
What music is SO sweet
Six blacks I'd drive of ample chest
All carrying high the head;
All harnessd tight and gaily drest
In winkers tipp'd with red
Oh yes I'd be a mountain boy,
And such a team, I'd drive, Wo, hoyl
Wo, hoy I'd cry
The lint should fly
Wo, hoy you Dobbin Ball
Their feet should ring
And would sing,
I'd sing my fal de rol.
My bells would tingle, tingle ling,
Beneath each bear skin cap
And as saw them swing and swing,
I'd be the merriest chap
Yes, then I'd be a mountain boy
And drive gingling team Wo, hoyl
Wo hoyl I'd cry
My words should fly
Each horse would prick his ear;
With tghten'd chain
My numbering vain
Would move in its career.
The golden sparks you'd see them spring
Beneath my horses tread
Each tail I'd braid it up with string
OF blue or Haunting red
So does, you know, the mountain boy
Who drives dashng team, Wo, hoyl
Wo hoy I'd cry
Each horses eye
With fire would seem TO burn,
With lifted head and nostril spread
They'd seem the earth to spurn.
They'd champ the bit and fling the foam
As on they dragged my load
And would think of distant home,
And whistle upon the road
Obi would were mountain boy
I'd drive n six horse team, Wo, hoy
Wo hoy I'd cry
Now, by yon sky
ia sooner drive those steeds
Than win renOwn,
Orwear a crown
Won by victorious deeds
For crowns oft press the languid head,
And health the wearer shuns
And victory trainpling on the dead,
May do for Goths and Huns
Seek them who win, they have no joys
For mountain lads and Wagon boys

Gg~ The las Nississippian copies from an
old number of tie Democrat very spicy essay,
headed Saturday Sermon" being humorously
grave address to the Loafers, which,we very well
remember was published originally in our paper
some ten years ago. 1t had, at the time, more
extensive creulation in the south and west, than
any other SIMILAR essay ever had, with the single
exception pehaps Of the Shocco Jones Mammoth
Humbug, which, by the way, We thinki it decided
y excels boh in its eaustic irony and in the classic
purity Of it style. The "lIumbugn has much
broad, course humor and many laughable Incl
dents, but the ~sermon" is fine and cutting, and
possesses the true stick salt. We need not say
who the author s. The initials signed to it
sufficiently indieat,that.
This "preachmat' was delivered in 1912,
when, as the Ntsissippian says, "the State
was crowded wit the class to whom it was
addressed, and wen their extinction was ey-
IDENTIFY near at land. Under the mushroom
growth of the bnks, and especially during
the "Brandon tim" well supplemented" by the
old Union "Brinee,' the shady side of every
village in the Sta, teemed with colony of these
cosmopolitan vaabonds. They lived an easy,
placid ife,withouany visible means" through the
extraordinary fdlities which flood of paper
money afforded tenn; but in l84l and 40 the
tables were turne, the banks were dead, all
credit was stoppe, everything came down to a
specie basis and cash system, and the "loafers"
stood aghast"
As there is a derth Of news just now, and moth
ing interesting gong on in thep political world, we
have thought thate could not perform more ac
ceptable service fc our readers than to follow the
example of the EssiSsippian, and set the essay
going again. Sge, gentlemen Loaiers, if there
be any Of that clss left among us, attend to the

Conviction of Rev. DR.. King In Greece.

The Journal Of Commerce has a long account
of the trial and conviction at Athens, on charge
OF proselytism, of Rev. Jonas King, d. D., Z. s.
Consular Agent at Athens, and Missionary of
the American Board. DR.. King is a native of
Massachusetts,, nearly sixty years of age pos
sessing great learning and in all respects highly
estimable man. His chief crime was, the publ
cation of a book consisting chiefly of extracts
from the ancient fathers, showing that the Viz.
gin Mary is not entitled to divine honors
The charge in the trial was, that in preaching
in his own house, Dr.. King had publicly reyiled
the Greek Church, asserting and teaching con-
trary doctrines to those it holds. Among these
were such as the following That person is not
necessarily saved by partaking of the Eucharist
that baptism does not imply regeneration that
those are foolish who think that by giving aims
or fasting they will be saved; that image-wor.
ship is idolatry that the Blessed Virgin ought
not to be styled the Mother Of God and that She
was not always virgin. As the constitution o.
Greece guarantees religious liberation, the charge
could hardly be well sustained and it is stated
that the penal code was altered so as to bring
DIR. King to trial.
The judges are said to have been biased against
him at the commencement Of the trial and the
basest means were resorted TO to oNain testimony
against him. The result, as might have been ex-
pected, was the conviction Of DR.. King, and he
was not even alioweu TO speak IN his own defence
He was Immediately sentenced to fifteen dagy' i'm.
