CAN THE DEAD WIN AT CARDS "A very curious
law case came recently into German court, arising
from the following circumstance:
gentleman sat at u faro-tabe in the town of KG-
then, SaNony, playing with the usual attention and
silence. Several plays were made, and the cards
whichthe gentleman continued unchangingiy to put
forward, won repeatedly. The gold pushed towards
the winner by the cropier, however, was not drawn
in by him, and after several more accumuations,
made the pile nconvenently large the keeper of the
bank rather angrily requested the fortunate man to
take in his money. With his eye fixed on his card
the player took no notice of the request.
Draw in your gold " was again uttered by sew
eral round the table,
No answer.
Monsieur, you incommode the other players"
said the croupier.
The same motonless silence,
person sitting next the offender took hold of
his hand. It was stone cold. The winner was dead !
As the body was being removed, the crouper drew
back the money he had showed towards the dead
player alleging that the game based upon reciprocal
engagement could not exist between the dead and the
living. The heirs of the defunct presented them.
selves the day AFTER and claimed the money, declar
ing that the winner had regularly commenced and
continued the game. The question was carried be-
fore the tribunal of KGthen and will probably de-
pend upon the evidence to the point OF time when
the player ceased to live.

The next day, as the Prince was experimenting the
packing up of his effects waiter of the hotel said,
q Your Exceency would no doubt be glad to find the
fellow of the japan jar? Well, there is in the
Faubourg ST. Germain.h :" Is it possible?" q 1t is

veyed to his hotel He then went to the other trades
man, and asked for the jar. He was told that the
tradesman wns ont, and that the jar had been taken

jar which he had purchased for 1000 francs was the
very he had offered 5000 francs for and that the
waiter of the hotel had received 10 francs to inform
the Prince of the existence of the jar in the Eau.

SUICIDES OF ENGLISH CoMMANDERs.-T The Bonn
bay papers contain the details given in evidence at
the fquests on Gen. Stalker, who shot himself in the
camp Of Bushre GU the 14th Of March, and on Com.
Etheridge who put an end to his existence. The Bonn
bay Times says both these men should have been in
Europe on sick leave instead of directing operations
in the gulf in each instance the nervous system was
entirely shattered by the climate. There is not the
slightest shadow of suspicion that any unpleasant
ness occurred between the General and Gen. Outem.
They were on good terms, and no alteration in his
manner. He rose from the table, and having called
on several of his staff, all Of whom unhappily were
out, proceeded to his tent. pistol shot was heard
in ten minutes afterwards, and the unhappy gentle
man was found dead. Several Of the officers testify
to his nervous and undue apprehensions for the
weather and the Colonel asserts his strong belief that
the explosion of the pistol was accidental The YER
dict however, was that the General destroyed himself
in fit of temporary insanity. In the case of Com.
Ethrdge, it was observed that he was suffering from
a mental excitement of no ordinary kinda too nice
sense OF honor kept him with the force when his
state demanded that he should be invaded for
short time. On the night of his death he had been
perusing dispatches recently received 1t would
seem that tired confused sick and in despair he at
last placed the pistol at his head and destroyed him
self. The dispatches were covered with his blood.

A SINGULAR AFrAIR.-The Philadelphia Bulletin
says, that in opening Franklin street from Parish to
Poplar it was necessary to cut through small grave

Morris county, N j., who died December sth, 1929.

The stone attracted much attention and the crcum
stance made deep impression Of regret upon many,
that the remains Of an old veteran should be thus
elected. Accordingly the National Guards appointed
q committee, and on Wednesday proceeded to remove
the bones where they could rest in peace forever.
couple of grave diggers were employed, and in q
short time sufficient earth was thrown out to reveal
the coffin But the establishment of the diggers and
lookerson may be imagined when the fact is stated
that Ne coffin ,ras found to be upside do,cn! The
halfdecayed fragments Of wood were removed from
the grave, but not vestige of mortality could be
discovered. The truth was now made manifest
Body snatchers had visited che grave nearly thirty
years ago, and after plundering the coffin of the
corpse it contained, the wooden case was tumbled
into the pit upside down-the earth was covered over
1.-THE sorrowing friends Of the deceased came and
reared stone to his memory over an empty grave,
and the cheat was not discovered for more than a
quarter of a century afterwards. 80.
