Alleged Burying Alive.

In The midst OF exaegeration and invention,
there is one undoubted circumstance which
formerly excited the worst apprehensions 3
the fact that bodies were often found turned
in their cotfins and the grave clothes disar-
ranged. But what was ascri ibed, with SEEM
ing reason, to the ihroes of vitality, is now
known TO be due TO the agency of corruption.
A gas is developed in the decaying body
which mimcs by its mechanical force many
of the movements Of life. So powerful is
the gns in corpscs that have long lain in wa
ter, that nj. pevergie, the physician TO the
Morgue in Paris, and the author of a text
hook on legal medicine, says That unless se-
cured 10 the table, they are often heaved up
and thrown TO the ground. Frequently
strangers, seeing the motion of the limbs run
to the keeper of the Morgue and announces
with horror that the person is alive. All
bodies sooner or later, generate gas in the
grave; and it constantly twists about the
corpse, blows out the skin till it rends with
dis,ention, and sometimes bursts the coffin
itself. When the gas explodes with noi,e,
imagination has converted il into an outcry
or groan; the grave has been re-opened, the
position of the body has evidence that the
wretch has gnawed his flesh in the frenZy Of
despair. So many are The circumstances
which will constantly occur TO support con-
clusion that is more unsubstantial than the
fabric of dream.-- Quarterly Rerietc.
This probably accounts truly for many OF
the appearances which attend supposed cases
of burying alive. Ii may well be questioned
whether anybody, whose vital powers had
been temporarily suspended, shut up in u
close coffin, with six or eight feet of earth
upon the top of it, could survive even for u
few moments, supposing animation had been
restored while in that condition. Without
air the body cannot live; and how is air TO
get access, shut up under such circumstances
Consciousness could not be retained for more
Than moment or Two, and sulfocalion would
follow as speedily as with the fumes Of burn
ing charcoal.

Encounters with Tigers.

The following account OF two extraordi-
nary instances of presence Of mind are rula-
ted III the Singapore Journal of Commerce
as having lately occurred in the Dessa Tritek
resIdency, Rembang division OF Bodjonegoro.
A Jnvanese Simgodirono was nwoke in The
night OF the 9Th Of July, ut about 3 O'Clock,
by disquIeting noise IN his buffalo stable
Thinking that evil doers were about stealing
nnd taking off his beloved huffaloes, he,
armed with his lance, haslened 10 their re-
lief. BY the lgh, Of the moon, however, he
saw with fright large tiger IN the stable,
and ready TO spring upon him. But keeping
his presence Of mind, he pointed his laace
and awaited the attack of the tiger, which he
received on its point, and with such good
success that the tiger, badly wounded, fed,
but dropped dead nfier running about one
hundred yards. In the afternoon Of the llth
of July following, the Javanese's (Kreno)
son was out cutting bamboos when he sud-
denly saw n large tiger making towards him.
Armed only with cutting knife (parang. J
he stood and waited the tigers spring which
he avoided cleverly by jumping aside, and
at the same time inficting u severe blow on
The animals's head, which made him reel.
and then seizing him by the tail, repeated
his blows until lie succeeded in finally des-
patching him.

A sad Case.

A writer in the Springfield Republican,
from the Worcester Insane Retreat. men,
lions the following: There is n small pond
in The garden. Just opposite the pond l
saw woman, humbly dressed, locking into
the water.
That poor woman said the Doctor, has
been here for several years. She assists in
the kitchen, and is perfectly harmless, al
though incurable. She is the wife of an in
dustrious man, living in an adjoining town.
They had n family of three boys, two OF
which died suddenly of the scarlet fever
Within week of their burial the mother
proceeded to a pond near by for some water.
As she was dipping her pail, she saw some.
thing beneath the surface which attracted
her attention. and, taking wooden rake, she
pulled it to The bank. 1t proved to be the
body of her remaining child. A walnut
shell, with piece OF paper in the centre
WINS f1oaing upon the water, which, no
doubt, sailing from the reach OF the child
caused him 10 stretch for it, lose his balance
and he drowned. Before sunset she was

Ii is her Gaiy custom to watch that wafer

return quietly to her work. But if she was
not allowed to do SO, which, BY way of ex-
pertinent, has been tried, violent fits and
convulsons would follow
You say she is incurable,' said ].
| Quite SO, we think. Under superinten-
dence,' continued the Doctor, she is quiel
and useful here but without il she would
be even dangerous
While he was speaking, the mother, whose
bereavement of her children had driven heI
mad forever, turned upon her heel, and with
her face turned 10 tho earth, walked slow ly
towards the house. As she approached, the
Doctor called TO her, and dropping a low
courtesy, she stood looking at us.

Immediately stripped down his stocking and

Windham reached his hand to Smith, and
all who were in the store walked up and shook
hands with the young man, expressing their
regret for the mistake into which they had
fallen.
Before the sun went down, there was not a
man, woman or child in the village who had
not heard the triumphant refutaton of the fool

villager was desrous of doing Windham a
kindness. But he did not see Mr.. Rogers again

that gentleman in delicate affair, which con-

The Romance Of Trade.

Lundyfoot, the celebrated snuff manuiae-
turer, ofDublin, originally kept small iobac.
conist's shop at Limerick, Ireland. One
night his house was burnt to the ground
As he contemplated the smoking ruins on
the following morning, in state bordering
ON despair, some Of the neigiubors, cropping
among the embers for what they could find,
s'umbed upon several caoisters Of uncon-
sumed but half baked snuff, which they tried
and found so grateful to their noses, that they
loa,led their waistcont pockets with the spoils.
Lundyfoot, reused from his stupor, at
length initiated their example, and took
pinch OF his own properly. when he was
instantly struck with the superior pungency
ana havor it had acquired, from The great
neal 10 which ii had been exposed. Treas
iring up tins valuable hint, he took nnother
house, IN place called Black Yard and
preparing large oven for the purpose, set
diligently about the manufacture of that
high-dried commodiiy, whirh soon tecame
known as Black Yard Stuff
Lundyfoot, making his customers nav
literally through the nose for one of the
most distinguished kinds Of snuff in the
world, soon raised the price Of his preduc-
ton, took large house in the city Of Dublin.

The military force of the island exceeds
so, 900 men. perfect in their equipment and ar
mament. And more effective than all this
warlike force is the extended and minute DO
lice system, under which every foreigner is
watched, hour by hour, from his arrival in the
island to his departure from its shores, and ev-
cry native, in like manner, from his birth to
his grave, from his baptism TO his funeral, for
espionage is two fold, seculsr and ecclesiasti-
cal. 1t will at once be seen, that, with such
forces and such means of knowledge of all in
dlsidual movements, it can only be by the most
inconceivable cowardice, inefficiency, and
treachery, that the government can be thwart-
ed in its purposes by anything in the nature ol
domestic insurrection, or i'll appointed private
expeditions from without.

scaly hands for aims Their huts are rudely
constructed of earth and stones, seldom with
more than one apartment, and this so filthy and
loathsome that it seemed unfit to be occupied
by swine. Here, they live and propagate,
whole families together, without distinction of
sex; and their dreadful malady is perpetuaied
from generation to generation, and the groans
of the aged and the dying are mingled with
the feeble wall of the young that are brought
forth branded for life of misery.
Strange and mournfnl thoughts arise, in the
contemplation of the sad condition and proba-
BILE destiny of these ill-fa,ed beings. Among
SO many, there must be some in whose breasts
the power Of true love is implanted love for
woman in its purest sense, for offspring, for
all the endearmenis of domestic life which the
untainted are capable of feeling; yet doomed
never to exercise the affections without perpet-
uating the curse some, too, in whom there
are hidden powers of mind, unknown, save to
themselves; ambition that corrodes with una
valllng aspirations; thirst for action that
burns within increasingly, yet never can be
assuaged; all the ruling passions that are i'm
planted in man for great and noble purposes !;
never, never TO give one moments pleasure
unmixed with the perpetual gloom of that
curse which dwells in their blood.
AS l plodded my way for the last time
through this den of sickenng sights, vision
of human misery was impressed upon my
mind tha; time cannot efface. passed when
the rays of the were cold and the light
was dim; and there came out from the reek-
ing novels leprous men, gaunt with famine,
and they barred their hideous bodies, and
howled like beasts and women held out their
loathsome and accursed babes, and tore away
the rags that covered them, and pointing TO
the shapeless mass shrieked for aims. All
was disease, and sin and sorrow wherever |
went; and as passed on, unable to relieve a
thousandth part of the misery, moans of de-
spair and bowling curses followed me, and
Lepers crawled back into their novels to rot
in their filth and die when God willed.- Cor
