THE DEAD MAN AND THE vCLTrRE.
When near Bayou Sara, the passengers.
who We're sitting on :he boiler deck, talking,
smoking, and enjoying the cool evening
breeze, were startled by the appariticn of =
dead body, perfectly naked, floating on its
back, with arms and legs extended, and
hideous turkey buzzard perched upon its
breast, making lorrid meal Of the halt de.
composed flesh. The body floated quite
near. and We had good view of it. As
before stated, the body was perfectly naked,
and rope was around its neck. The eyes
had been picked out, and the flesh eaten of
the face, the fleshless bones of which
grinned horribly. Into large hole in the
breast, the vultHre occasionally buried h.s
head, Withdrawing it covered with blood
and matter. A gentleman on the boat fred
at it with his revolver, and 1t rose laxily
from the corpse and few away. holding =
mass Of dark, liverhke substance in its
beak. There was great deal Of specula-
tion among those who witnessed the hOr-
rible sight, as to who and what the unfor.
tunate man was, who, denied a sepulehse,
fed the unclean birds with his flesh; some
victim of guerrilla cruelty, probably
perhaps a cotton buyer or a native

A NOVEL CuRE.-A gentleman living in
34'h street, happening to awake about mid.
night, q few evenings since, thought that
he heard "some one in the house," and get
ting noiselessly out of bed he crept to the
door Of his chamber. which to his surprise
he found sjar. Feeling quite sure that he
had locked it on retiring, he listened, and
soon became satisfied that the noise pro.
ceeded from closet in an adjoining room,
where things worth stealing were kept.
Summoning up all his courage. he crept
into the suspectedroom, and discovered by
the dim light that some one was fumbling
in one of the drawers Of the closet. He
made spring at the supposed intrucer,
who uttered a loud scream and +, Il fainting
at his feet. He recognized the voice OF his
wife in the scream. and at once set about
restoring her to consciousness. This havs
ing been done, she gave him thorough
scolding for frightening body on, If their
wits, WHEN they we're locking for the
toothache drops" but she f"rgsve him
when she discovered tha, the fright had
cured the toothache.-N y, San.
