Two VERY long funeral professions, fol
lowing the remains of two prominent bust
mess men of Cleveland, iSolon Corning
and Samuel r. Hutchinson, passed each
other on Euclid street, in that city, on
recent Sunday The Cleveland Herald
says "It greatly heightened the deep So

thought that the two old friends who had
been identified with the active business

ONE of those curious cases of PRESENT.
ment of which we SO often hear, has late
ly occurred in Atlanta Ga. A workman
in the railroad shops there persistently
said he had had a revelation that he should
die at 12 o'clock on a Tuesday, and at
his request q tellowiworkman promised to
toll the bell of the works at that hour.
The day and the. hour came; the man
dressed himself in his best, and lay down
upon his bed to await the speedy deomlng
of the dread messenger; the solemn
note of the bell was sounded, but the man

neighboring wood to pray. A madman
named Wasiloff declared that he was the
Son of God, and, after choosing 12 apos

RECENTLY, in Glasgow, a man known
as "Steeple Jack" who earns his living
by repairing steeples and other high edi
fees, inaccessible bylstairs, assembled to the
top of chimney, 180l feet high, having
first established communication by means
of kite and string, and then used a light
ladder and slender chain. This appara-
tus, he discovered, would not bear his
weight in descending. and he was obliged
to remain there an hour and a half, at this
great height, while the heat ascending
from the fires below was subjecting him to
slow torture. At last he was rescued,
stronger chain having been attached to
the weak one, and drawn up by the
daring workman. 9ese ia3H1d ,eijc
A NuDDLE-AGED widow woman OF Sun
cosk, Mass, named Mrs. Lindsey, has, for
some time past, refused to pay her high
way tax. She was not actuated by any
inconvenience in, the payment of her
rates, for she is worth considerable. prop
erty, but she expressed a dislike to the
principle of the tax. She was told by the
Surveyor that she must pay her tax in
money or work it out on the roads. Her
reply was that she would work it out. Ac-
cordingly, the other day she bought new
hoe, joined the gang of men who were at
work on the highway, and labored until
sundown, doing good days work. She
said that she would be on hand the next
day and continue her work.
