A Living Grave.


In great city people are dying and
being consig ned TO the cbarnal house
every day without creating the slightest
ripple on the living, moving tide of its
inhabitants. Blu; when fellow mortal is
supposed to have departed this life and
arrangements have teen partially made to
consign his remains to thei, last resting
place the CONSIDERATION Of bis friends can
be more easily imagined than described
when they discover that he is not dead,
only sleeping-in a trance.
A case of this kind. wherein a young
man was upon the brink of the grave, DC
CURED few DAYS ago in this city.
A young German, recently married to
! a handsome lady of very respectable par
entage, was taken suddenly i'll at his place
OF business last Friday. He was placed
in carriage and taken to bis residence
on Erie street, where he laid in great
agony until Sunday, when the disease so

friends surrounded his couch. To ali ap.
pearances he was dead, and it was so de-
cided. Arrangements were abou; 10 be
made for the lnterment, when the young
wife, feeling that she could not give him
up so soon, insisted that the funeral be
postponed until Tuesday morning. To
CRAFTY the woman thus brought so speedily
to mourn the loss Of her husband the
funeral was postponed. The disconsoIate
wife spent most of the day on Monday in
the same room with the corpse, weeping
as though her heart would break, and still!
clnging to the idea that he could aot be

About twilight on Monday evening,
when everything about the house was per
fectly quiet, except when the stiffness was
broken by the signs of the bereaved widow,
there being but few persons in the room,
the body seemed to move. 1t was bat a
slight motion, yet sufficient to arrest the
| attention Of one fearful eye.
When the wife insisted that life was not
extinct, that the body did move, her
| friends became anxious about her reason,
and tried to divert her mind from the sor-
rowful scene. At the end Of two hours
another slight movement was perceived by
all the party. Tie scene which followed
can never be described. The wife chung

A Singular Fact-.-Locality of the
Presidents,

1t is singular fact that the opposition
to the democracy, which has always made
it subject Of complaint, that SO many of
our Presidents were taken from the south,
has nominated none but southern born
Presidents itself for nearly forty years.
Thus, in 1882. they nominated Henry
Clay, kentuckian. a native of Virginia,
for President. In 1886 they selected w
Ii. Harrison, scion OF one O. the first
families Of Virginia. where he was born,
for this office. In 1910 they selected this
Virginian again, and put up with him for
Vice President John Tyler, another Vir,
gilman. Tyler became President In
1914 they again nominated the Virginia,
Ken,uckian, Henry Clay, for President
10 1s4S they went to the extreme South
and selected another son of Virginia, Gen.
Taylor, as their standard bearer In 1862
they again went to Virginia and selected
another distinguished son Of that state,
General Winfield Scott for President.
and they rat up with him for Vice Presl-
dent, Mr.. Graham, of North Carolina. In
1856 they voted for John c. Fremont, a
South Carolinian by birth, and Missouri
an by adoption and family connection. Ia
1860 they elected Abraham Lincoln, a
Kentuckian; in 1866 they reelected him
and with him Andrew johnson, native
Of North Carolina and resident of Ten,
nessee, for Vice-President. Thus we find
the party declaiming against the infu-
ence of Southern men, and yet invariably
selecting Southern men by birth and edu,
cation for the highest offices of the coun-
try for nearly forty years. During most
Of the time the Democracy have voted for
Northern men, like Van Buren,, Cass,
Pierce, Buchanan, Douglas and McClel-
Ian.

"Thc views urged by the President in re-
gard to the status of the South in the Tn
ion, and the right of the South to be repre-
sentcd ut Washington, receive powerful
support In the recent decision OF the SlI-

enters largely into the differences between
the President and Congress; and the cir

NobOtIy Punished in the South.


What record is This! These radicals have
for years hOwlcd for Southern blood; and
now the last uttcrance of the most promi-
incnt of these radicals is rcitcration, u
prOlongatiOn of the same old sauguinary
cry. "lIas any body been punished ~
demands the Indignant Wade. Whose
blood has been shed?" clamors the frr0ci0us
Jacobin. Nobody has been hung. Nobody
been punished. No more Southern wives
made widows. No more southern children
made orphans. No more Southern men
sent TO the gallOws. No more women and
children given to pcnury aud starvation.
"No man has been punished" Poor Wade,
who has been denied the privilege of
qualllng the purple life fluid of the South.
Poor Hatfield, who thanked God for the
murder of Mr.. Lincoln, so that he, Hatfield.
might dabhle his hungry jaws In Southern
gore. Poor radicals all, who have hoped
and prayed and labOred for months for the
erection of gibbets in every Southern mans
doOr-yard
Nobody punishcd" The South is to-
day almost desert. Its industry Is de-
stroycd. its lIomestcads ruins, its sons by
tens of thousands have been slain. its
wives widowed. its children orphaned. its
rich men reduced to poverty, its remain
ing population buldcned with dcbt and
taxation, And yet nobody Is punished" "
says Wade; "amd nobody has been pun
ishcd." is echoed by the radical press all
through the North. President Lincoln had
"maiicc toward none and charity for all, y
and God smOte him, says Hatfield. PrCsi-
dent johnson labors to restore the broken
Union, instead of erecting gibbcts all over
the South, and he Is n usurpcr, says Stcv-
