Naa asjth a Petrifed IV1e.--A few
days since, a gentleman residing in
Rising Sun, Indiana, who had married
u second TING, wished to remove the
body of his first wife to new ceno:ry.
Preparations were made TO that effect,
and laborers opened the grave in the
usual manner; butwhen theyreachcd the
coffin they couldnot lift it, so great was
the weight. After obtaining consider/
able assistance, however. the men SUE.
cecded in raising the coffin from tic
tomb. They then could not resist tile
temptation Of pccring in the coffin AMI
learning the reason for its unusual
weight, and found, instead of the re.
mains of a corpse, a stone figure, the
exact counterpart OF the woman who
had died. This strange story soon
spread, and hundreds and thousands Of
persons were present to see the strange
spectacle.
The husband took the body OF his do.
parted spouse home and has it there
now, where it is visited by hundreds of
the curious and scientific. The body
seems to have been pcufied, and to
have become perfect stone woman.
The probability is that the body has
become adipoccrc, and will before long
melt or crumIle. ---- Cincinnati IN.

THE CAUSE.

Walker, Il majority Of about forty
thousand as the Democratic candidate
tor Governor of Pennsylvania. Now,
MIR. Read, the Opposition candidate for
Supreme Judge, has received major
,ity which. from present indications,
will not be less than 10000. One
short year has effected change of
about 100, 600 votes in the relative po-
sitlon Of the two leading parties of the
State. In 1856 fifteen Democrats
were elected to Congress; now, only
two or three Administration candidates
have escaped defeat. TO what agen-
cies can we attribute this astonishing
and unprecedented rcvulsion in polt.
cal sentiment? Local causes" as
has been ingeniously suggested by
some Of the organs OF the Administru-
ton. The idea is stamped with absur-
dity upon its face. The Tariff. The
question OF protection has deeply inter.
csted our people, and there is an earn
est feeling on the subject; but how did
that Of itself, dcfeat the Administration
candidates! They were vocifcrous
throughout the whole canvass in their
expressions CT devotion to the doctrine
of protection, ind boldly claimed that
they were the best tariff candidates
before the people-that thcy could and
would obtain more desirable legislation
for Pennsylvania interests than their
opponents. Nav, more: leading az
cument urged against the Peonle's
Party, was based on the false asser-
ton that their nominee, Mr.. Read
had signed a letter commendina Geo,
NJ. Dallas for his vote in favor of the
tariff of 1916. So far rs professions
could go, there never were - set of m III
more thoroughly committed to the doc.
trine Of protection than the Admins
tration candidates. How, then, did
the tariff question defeat them? What.
ever influence it may have had result.
: ed from deeply settled conviction Of
! the people, that inasmuch as they had
betrayed their constituents on the
| Kansas question, they could not be
trusted on the tariff issue.
