WHAT Is THE HARDEST DEATH =

To be shot dead is one Of the easiest
modes OF terminating life; yet, rapid rs it
is, the body has leisure to feel and reflect.
On the first attempt by one Of the frantic
adherents Of Spain to assassinate William
innce OF Orange, who took the lead in
the revolt OF the Netherlands, the ball
passed through the bones of his face and
brought him to the ground. In the in
stant that preceded stupefaction, he was
able to frame the notion that the ceiling
OF the room had fallen in and crushed
him. The cannon shot which plarped
into the brain ofChar!cs XII, did NOT pre-.
vent him from seizing his sword by tie.
hit. The idea of an attack, and the ne
cessity for defence, was pressed on him by
blow which we should have supposed
too tremendous to leave an interval for
thought But i, by no means follows
that the intiic,ing of fatal wounds is ac-
companicd by pang. From what is
known OF the first effect OF gun shot
wounds, it is probable tina, the inpsession'
is rather stunning than acute. Unless
death be immediate, the pain is as varied
as the nature Of the injuries, and these arc
past coanting up.
But there is Nothing singular in the dy-
ing sensation, though Lord Byron re-
marked the physiological popularity
of the expression is invariably that OF
anguor, while in death from stab, the
conntenance reflects to traits Of natural
character, Of gentleness or ferocity, to the
last breath.
Some of these are cases Of interest, TO
show with what slight disturbance life
may go under mortal wound, till it f.
nally comes to a sudden stop.
: A foot soldier at Waterloo, pierced by
u musket ball in the hip, begged water of
|, a trooper who CHANGED to possess can.
teen of Deer. The wounded man drank.
returned his heartiest thanks, mentioned
that his regiment was nearly exterminat.
cd, and having proceeded dozen yards
on his way TO the rear, fell to the earth,
and with one convulsire movement of his
limbs, concluded his career. yet his
voice." says the trooper, who himself tells
the story, gave scarcely the smallest sign
of weakness"

youth, was prcsen. at the battle Of Corun

gallantIy Of war, another instance, ex-

A GHOST STORY.

Mr.. Editor:-I believe that the follow
ing may be OF interest to youN numerous
readers, and | know that the circum-
stances have never been published. /
wrote them down and if you think it pro-
per you may publish it.
In the year 1926, at Bshopville. South
Carolina, Capt. William Sumter Ia crand-
son of Gen. Thomas Sumter) committed
suicide. and was buried at the Baptist
Church yard, abont l 1,2 miles fromr
Bishopville. His grave, is about ten steps
from the public road, leading from Bish
opvllle to Sumtervile. In a few weeks
after this, William Bateman, a man Of
great courage, and not superstitious, was
riding on home (about three miles
otf) and as he passed by Capt. Sumter's
grave at about IL or o'clock in the
night, the moon shining brightly, he in
formed me (the next morning) that Capt.
sumter arose from his grave and came
to him and placed his hand on HE s,;r-un.
and walked in this way with him for
about $50 yards, and just before be dis
appeared he informed Bateman il was
his time next. In, = few DAYS, after taiis>
man by the name Of James B. Reaves
shot Bateman giving him mortal wound,
which did rot terminate fatally for two
or three weeks. Bateman managed to
ride from Reaves' house TO the house of
Moses Rountres, and when he arrived
there, sent for Doctor Bishop and his
brother John Bateman, the latter at that
time overseer for Doctor Bishop: and
although w. Bateman's house WAS much
nearer than Bishopville, he requested to,
be taken TO the latter place, which was.
done, and Ire died at his brothers house
at Bisbopville. Twas acting rs magis-
trate at that time, and as there was no.
witness present when Reaves shot Bate
man, thought it proper 10 take his dy-
ing confession, as it would be good evi-
dsnce, and a few hours before his death \
took down his statement and as tho cir.
cumstances Of his seeing Sumter occurred
to me, | asked him to give me n statement
again, and he said it WINS rs he stated be.

observed to me that it was not imagine
