would attempt to escape by some lightning
rods descending from parapet close by
and asked the sentry what he would do
do if he saw man at this point. The
man replied, challenge, and fire if no
response is given" The officer said, ssThat
is right; do not be afraid to FIRE" A few
minutes after visiting the guard, the Lieu
tenant was with the Surgeon of the post,
when an alarm of fire was given As Off
Ger of the day he rushed out to ascertain
the locality of the fire, and ran upon the
very parapet he had cautioned the sentinel
to guard SO particularly. The sentry chal-
leuged twice, but owing to the high wind
the Lieutenant did not hear him, and the
man fired, the ball striking the officer in
the back, passing through the right shoul-
der and chin. Another of the guard, see
ing the Lieutenant fall, ran to pick him
up, when the same sentry, seeing two men
STOPPING, as he supposed to escape by the
llghtning-rod, again fred, killing his COM
rade almost instantly. Lieutenant Alexan-
der lived 25 hours after being wounded,
was perfectly sensible to the last, leaving
messages to his family and friends, and,
in the language of the person from whom
we gather the above information, met the
death of brave, noble boy" His remains
were taken to Fort Smelling, Minnesota,
where they were buried with military hon
ors on Sunday, April IL.

He was also brother of Surgeon G. T.

Killing of Lieut.. Alexander and Private
Soldier

Lieutenant William S. Alexander, of
the Eighth United States Regular Infantry,
was well known to many of our citizens,
and his tragic death on the goth of March,
at Fort Macon, North Carolina, was re-
ceived with astonishment ard sorrow We
have received the following particulars OF
the sad event:
The company to which the Lieutenant
belonged, with another company of the
Eighth infantry, was ordered from Colum-
bia, South Carolina, to Fort Macon, North
Carolina, on the 18th of March, which
point was reached on the 10Th. Lieutenant
Alexander was made post Adjutant, and
on the Both he voluntarily assumed the
duties Of the day, all the other officers at
the post having families and being engaged
In arranging quarters, receiving baggage
etc. At IL o'clock at night the Lieutenant
visited the guard and cautioned all the
sentineis against permitting the escape of
prisoners whom they were guarding with
care and apprehension. When he came to
sentry No. he told him his was the most
important-that he was afraid the prisoners

Remarkable Case of Trance In FarribauIt
County {Minn).

On Monday morning, March 26th,
Reuben w. Foster, of Blue Earth CITY,
aged 30 years, was chopping wood at his
door before he had eaten breakfast, when
he suddenly felt very faint, and going into
the house told his wife not to be frightened
if he tainted, but to throw cold water in
his face. Scarcely had he uttered the
words when all consciousness left him.
But, though partially restored by the
water, he soon relapsed into the uncon-
scious state, from which it was impossible
torecover him, and he was by the physician
pronunced dead, though some lingering
suspicion seems to have been entertained
that life might not be extinct, as the BODY
remained flexible, and showed no signs Of
decay
Under these circumstances the time for
the funeral was postponed until Friday.
at o'clock P. NJ, when the physicians
agreeing that he was dead, the corpse was
taken TO the church, the funeral discourse
delivered, and the coffin opened for the
friends to take the last, long look on the
familiar features of the dead, when it was
noticed that great drops of sweat stood on
the forehead of the supposed corpse, and
that the face alternately flushed and paled.
There was no doubt that the man was
actually living, and that the mental agony
he had suffered at the thought of living
burial had caused his cheeks to change
their hue, and the beaded swea. to force
itself upon his brow
The body was Immediately returned to
the house, and removed from the coffin
The blood was tried and found to flow as
freshly as from the veins of a healthy per-
son, but up to yesterday-nine full days
the body remained in the same trance
state; muscles flexible, and no signs of
decomposition Winnebago City Free

On SHAREs.-A correspondent of the Buff
talo Express tells the following story:
: About the year 1888 a relative of mine
then residing in Michigan (whom l will call
Mr.. W.) was the owner of large Touring
mill, ard also some forty two seventy-five
head OF young cattle. One Saturday morn.
ing Mr.. IL. "a neghbor of his), Knocked
at the door and inquired for Mr.. w. On
Mr.. WIS appearing he stated that he found
his crops much better than he expected, and
that he would like to take two year old to
fat on halves The offer was at once
accepted, with the permission that H. should
make his own selection from the herd.
On the next Monday morning another
knock at the door, and Mr. H. again appear
ed inquiring for Mr.. w. On Mr.. WIS ap-
pearing Mr.. IL. said Mr.. W., found the
animal you let me take on shares in such
good order that thought feeding her would
be of no use, and have therefore killed her
and here is yolr half. l thought it about
fair that | should have the hide and tallow
for the trouble of killing her,
The joke appeared to Mr.. W, too good to
spare, and be received his half without com.

wan face was pillowed in the snow that

NOTHING IN THE PAPER."-The Rich
mond Examiner has spicy chapter on the
subject of newspapers, elected by the
stereotyped remark of indifferent readers
after scanning the miniature world" of a
daily issue of news, that ''there's nothing in
the paper" Itsays:
And men are always grumbling about
their papers, and insinuating how much
better they could do it. They talk as flip
PANTY about "6ne articles on every i'm
aginable subject as if they could effect such
change. Let some OF these overrunning
philosophers try it for one hundred and fifty
days in succession.
And then they think it is nothing to
"select for a newspaper-you have merely
to run the scissors though half dozen ex-
changes, and you have got matter enough.
Now this is the most important, and the
most difficult department to fill on q news
yaper. Verp few men have the slightest
idea how. to do the work. 1t requires a
thorough newspaper man-who knows the
public appetite well-who knows what is
going on in the woodland knows how to
rewrite and pack column into dozen
lines. Men who skim a newspaper and
toss it aside little reflect how much brains
and toll have been expended in serving up
that meal. Busy heads and busy hands
have been toiling all day to gather and
prepare those viands, and some vast build
ing has been lit from cellar to garnet all
night to get that paper ready for the news
boy by crack of. dawn.
Nothing in the paper!" Nothing in
your heads! that's what's the matter.
