BURIED ALIvl.-Mrs. Crane, whose

She was a school teacher, and resided
on Dryades street. Her body was in
TERED the next day at ten o'clock, and
her mother went home almost broken
hearted. One night recently the mother,
after passing o most distressing day,
fell asleep late at night, and dreamed
that her daughter had been buried alive.
She jumped up in q frantic state and
rushed to her son-in-law's chamber,
crying Ny daughter is buried alive !
Oh, my daughter is buried alive What
shall | do 2" To sleep any more that
night, Was out Of the question. At
length he proposition was made to
have the body disinterred, just to satis-
fy her. SO, early the next morning the
grave wss opened and the coffin raised.
The body, which had been placed in a
metallic coffin, was turned over, the
glass covering the face was broken to
atoms, the ends Of the fingers being
beaten and battered all to psicsS, the
hair torn oat in handfuls, and the
shroud torn in many places.

THERE is reason to believe that GEN.
eral Grants Inauguration will be the
beginning Of an era Of short speeches,
short messages and short department
reports. The most speeches. Of public
men in the nation has just been reward
ed with the nations highest gift. All
the windy orators Of the country have
been passed by, in order that the u
try might honor the man whose elo-
quence Of silence has hsen appre-
ciated by the people, and now even
the politicians and professional orators
Of meetings and dinner tables are be-
ginning to see that they have been en-
dured rather than admired. Even An
drew Johnson, if he could see how few
people waste time in reading bis mes
sages, would feel that he had wasted
lungs, language and labor in tho many
long but vain efforts he has made to
win public affection during the last four
years. Ten words from Grant are worth
a million from johnson. People are
bored by long messages, long speeches,
long reports and long editorials. Tho
new age is one Of action, not Of words,
and if Grants example Of laeonism
should be followed by all our public
men, the whole people will rejoice.

Pullman's palace dining room cars

Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Railroad.

ton they have now adopted the dining
car as the twin feature of progress, so
that hereafter passengers between Chi
cago and St. Louis will DO able to lodge

A NEW MoroR.-Ericsson made him
self famous by the application Of heat
as q motive power !. hence the caloric
engine. He seems now in . fair way to
make himself still more famous BY
evolving a locomotive power from the
heat Of the sun. He announces that he
has succeeded in concentrating the suns
heat which comes to this earth so as to
run two machines he has inyented-or
in other words, to use them as fuel to
heat air, the same IS coal does in his
caloric e4gine, and realize its expansive
force as o motive power, the same as in
them. He asserts that the suns heat
which pours on the roofs Of Philadel-
phia is capable, by concentration, OF
putting in motion Ave thousand engines
of twenty horsepower each. And he
makes a still holder assertion than that.
viz: that by concentrating the SUMS
heat q force could be created that might
arrest the earth in its eourse.

A GOOD MOVE.

In accordance with the advice Of the
able,t soldiers in the army, and with
the expressed wish OF the influential
press, the House Of Representatives
have voted to transfer the Indian affairs
from the Indian Bureau to the War De-
partment. Most Of the opposition to
this movement has been based upon the
theory that such transfer involves the
organization Of a ceaseless campaign
against the savagss, and endless ex-
penditurs Of money to support it. It is
true that it is desirable to have the
whole matter within the control Of the
War Department while the army is
operating against the Indians ; but the
ultimate object Of the transfer is to
place the Indian Affairs in the hands Of
honest men, and, by proper admins
trstion Of them, to put an end forever to
the causes which produce Indian wars,
and make travel upon tho plains
dangerous.
The Indian Bureau 10 a hotbed Of cor
ruptisn and r~ascslity. Its agents are,
in a great measure, responsible for all
the blood that has been shed upon the
frontier, and for the loss of all the
property that has been destroyed. They
have cheated the savagss in every pos.
sible direction. The bounties Of the
Government have been withheld /; de-
fectivs goods, and goods that were scant
in weight and measure, have been dis
tributed, and then repurchaSed for q
few gallons Of bad whisky ; the Indians
have been robbed Of their lands by rail-
road companies with the consent of the
agents, who, instead of caring for the
interests of the sayages, and doing oil
in their power to keep them in a peace
full attitude toward the United States,
have leagued themselves with sharpers
Of all descriptions, and robbed their de-
pendants without scruple and with per-
feet recklessness Of consequences. To
the action Of these men con be traced
nearly all the Indian difficulties Of late
years. 1t has been a costly business,
and it is about time a change was made.

How a Woman Got Mixed Up In a Dos
Flight.

The Philadelphia Press Of November
IS says:
The Fifth Ward is remarkable for
pIgilistic encounters among men, and
any one who desires a fight nosd not 90
far into its precincts without being ac-
commodated. Last evening a fight &C.
CURED in which q man, q woman and
two dogs were singularly mixed up.
The manner of the extraordinary pro-
ceeding is, as near as we can gather the
facts, as follows Lieutenant Goldey, at
Fifth and Spruce streets, had his at
tsntion attracted by the cries Of a boy,
who complained that his leg had been
injured by q fall. Two women stopped
and expressed sympathy with the boy,
and while they and the Lieutenant were
e~ndeayoring to alleviate his condition,
two dogs got to fighting. One dog ran
around behind n Of the women, and
the other dog pitched into his sntago-
mist, taking the shortest course under
the dress of the Tho result
was, the last mentioned dog forced his
head through the hoops worn by the
woman, and in this position seized the
other dog. As the dog who was fast
ensd in the hoops plunged forward,
away went the woman With him, and as
he attempted to pull tho other dog
either way the woman had to come
along. Tho woman screamed terrihcal-
ly, and her companion did likewise. A
crowd assembled, and the woman whose
skirts were entaugled by the dog cried
Justify that she IA being eaten up.
Lieutenant Goldey chased about the
woman until he obtained hold Of the
dog by the hind legs, and he pulled
with all his strength, but the frame of
the hoops had curled tightly around the
dogs neck. Lieutenant Goldsy now
reached his hand toward the dogs head
and the animal became Infatuated, the
consequence being that dog, man and
woman rolled on the pavement in a
heterogeneous mass, the other dog
jumping around all the time to seize his
enemy. Tho Lieutenant finally CAV a
terrific jerk at the hoops, which parted
at the waist, and the dog started of.
dragging the woman a short distance
when she became d~i,engagsd from them
and tho dog went off with the skirt, his
head still in c~hancery. The woman de-
manded a new skirt from the Lieuten-
ant, in which she was backed up by her
friend, w%hereupon the Lieutenant, hav-
ing become exhausted at the dog fight,
beat a retreat, he not desiring to have a
woman fight.
