fed up stairs, and Joe Mayweed, extricat-
ing himself from the clock, effected his
retreat in the same way that he entered.
The next day all Appleton was alive with
the STORY Of how Deacon Barberry's clock
had been bewitched and though many
believed its version, some, and especially
Joe Mayweed, affected to discredit the
whole affair, limiting that the deacon had
been trying the experiment Of tasting
frozen cider, and that the vageries Of the
clock case only existed in distempered

SHOWING THE DEAn-A writer thus
describes q curious custom in Havana Of
laying out bodies in state during the night
before burial. They are placed close 70
an open window fronting the street, on .
couch four or FIVE feet from the ground.
The corpse is surrounded by high wax
'tapers, aud tho whole room illuminated.
Frequently when returning from atertulia
or ball, have been startled to ~ the;
fixed and rigid features of some old gentle
man or lady. dressed in their best attire
and apparently reclining before the wins
dow. 1t used to appear an unnecessary
mockery Of death, dressing out . corpse id
a new suit of clothes, With tight patent
leather boots, and white neck-cloth. / rc-
member one night id partieulsF. / was
returning home through one Of the BY
streets, when, seeing the lower windows
Of house illuminated, and concluded that
there was body lying in state, I usnt
toward it. There, close to the window, -
close that I could have touched It through
the bars, lay the body Of young girl
about fifteen years Of ago. She ms dressed
as for ball, with Aowers in her hair, and
white satin shoes on her feet; her hands
crossed on her breast, her eyes closed, and
her mouth slightly opened; and altogether,
her face and expressions was 60 q Ne
most beautiful / ever saw.

- A revenue officer at Toledo (Ohio)
pursued q man with q keg Of whisky across
the river and greatly terrified the fellow
by pointing ont the fact that there was no
stamp on the keg. Suddenly, however,
his countenauce lighted up, and clapping
both hands upon the seat Of his pants,
he exclaimed: See there amt that q
stamp? sat on that keg when / came
over the river" Sure enough, there was
the stamp. The adhesive power Of the
varnish with which the stamp was covered
was greater than that Of the paste which
attached it to the keg, and when the man
left his seat he was stamped The officer
returned home after an all nights chase,
much chagriued At the result Of his ad-
venture.

This is because every man finds what he

FUTURE WEALTH OF THE UNITED
SrArEs.-E. p. Whipple contributes to
the March number of the Atlantic Month
ly a very readable essay which he styles
" Shoddy." It will be seen that Mr..
Whipple takes hopeful view of the fu-
ture:
Of the enormous undeveloped resources
Of the United States it is difficult to speak
without an appearance of exaggeration.
The taxable value, which all men of prop
erty well know is always far below the ex-
changeable value, of all the property in the
United States was, in 1860, in round num-
bers, $4,000, 900, 900, showing a rate of
increase, in ten years, of fraction over
one hundred and twenty-six per cent. It
has been computed that if this rate is pre-
served through the next four decades, the
taxable value of the United States would,
in 1870, be $50, 500, 900, 900; in 1880,
$S2, 800, 900, 900; in 1890, 1877 100000
600; in 1900, $423, 800, coo, ,OOO--an in.
crease Of wealth which will be over eight
times our estimated increase in population.
Vast as these sums appear, drowning in
their sounds all shoddy groans over our
predicted financial ruin, and making our
big debt Of two billions and half shrink
by comparison into dwarf.like dimensions,
there is no reason that they shall not be
realized provided the brain Of the nation
adequately seconds it hands. Massachu-
sets, with an urea Of only 1900 square
miles, now owns seventeenth Of the whole
taxable property Of the nation. IF the
other States, with greater natural advan-
tages, should increase, during the next
thirty years, so that their wealth should
bear the same proportion to the square
mile Of territory which the wealth Of Mas
sachusetts now does, the property Of the
nation in 1900 will be $415, 200, ,00O, 900.

NATIONAL FINANCEs.-The New York
Nation furnishes the following:
In no point is the superiority of tho
Germans more striking than it is in their
finances. While the French are unable
to raise any more money, and talk of re-
turning to assignats, the recent North
German loan, in spite Of much grumbling
at the method of its introduction, main
tains itself at premium, and money at
Frankfort is reported ga drug" aud the
bank ratio has been reduced to three per
cent. There is, however, according to
late cable advices, an unexplained drain Of
specie from England to Germany, which
may indicate preparations for peace, or
may be the first indication of financial de-
preston. The total debt of the North
German Confederation amounts to less than
$l50,000, 900 in coin, while that of Prus-
sia proper, including all the States annexed
in 1865, amounts to about $500. .000, 900,
one-half representing the cost of railways
built by the State, which, unlike some Of
our State roads, are worth their cost, and
are even paying off the principal ofthe debt
at the rate ofstwo and one half per cent.
per annum. While on the subject Of for
cigu finance, we may mention that the
kingdom Of Spain, over which the young
Italian now reius, has floating deficit, to-
tally unprovided for, of nearly SO, ,000, 900
in addition to its funded debt, and enters
on the new year with further deficit in
prospect of about 5000, 900, and with
out the cash 70 pay nine OF ten millions Of
interest just maturing. It ID, after al, no
wonder that, with all cur mismanagsment,
American securities continue 10 advance

HoRRoRs OF THE TEXAS FRONTIER
We know nothing in the records of Iudiau
barbarities, says the Galveston Civilian
since the settlement Of America, exceeding
some of recent occurrence on the Texas
frontier. The following are some furthe,
details of the recent massacre of q family in
Wise county:
In the night the Indians entered the
house. Mrs. Paschal sprung from the
bed, where they were all sleeping, fell on
her knees and commenced praying, "Good
Indians, spare me with my children"
They shot her in the mouth and killed her
with knives, shooting the bed full of ar.
rows, the children twisting and writhing
in blood, taking some Of them and dashing
their heads against the wall, window and
door facings; they killed with knives and
clubs, as they thought, all the children.
They then shot three arrows deep into the
breast of Mrs. keenan,, dragged her on
the door.shutter they had cut down, cut
around the edge of her hair and tore off her
scalp! She was coguizant of all that
passed, and lay in that state, with the dead
and dying all scattered around her. One
of the children had its bowels cut out, and
arm, with the shoulder, severed from his
body with knife, and his body dashed Out
into the yard. One of the women slipped
an infant between the beds, and another
small one was secreted as to lie very quie,
next to the infant. These were the only
two that escaped unhurt. One Of the little
boys, about eight years old, after being
severely wounded, jumped out of the win
dow in the midst of the tumult and hid
and after the Indians left he carried waite,
from lake, about two hundred yards dis
tant, and gave to the wounded all night
Mrs. Keenan, tried to pull the arrows from
her breast and twisted one off. She could
not move her baby, and kept her place on
the door shutter al night without covering
She lived twelve days. The suffering.
she endured cannot be expressed. The
child that carried the water could be trail
ed the next day by the blood. One ofthe
little girls, about six years old, was found
holding the little infant near the embers
next morning, and was crying, saying
The Indians had killed Ma and little
Willie r That same evening the little
girl who was nursing died.

the pitch plaster fixed over the lower part
Of his face, were the only properties"
of the william left to indicate his visit.
The cool old assassin had carried off
every other trace of his presence, and he
and his comrade, taking the donkey. cart
with them, had decamped with a celebrity
and managed their diguise with an art
which, as matters then were, and with
full hours start, had bafled pursuit.
No doubt, with the police force now at
our command, the result might have been
different. As it was, no clue whatever was
discovered; and this was positively mar.
velous, considering the marked peculiari.
ties of dress and Of person that belonged
to the ctlpfit. The persons best acquaiut-
ed with the ways of our criminals at that
period were Of opinion that the strange de-
tails Of the dress, the gait, the hair, the
complexion, and the distortion Of the fg-
ure, were parts of an elaborate piece Of
masquerading.
There was some controversy as to the
object Of the projected crime. 1t was not
until the terrific exposure at Edinburgh
had made all the world horribly familiar
with the machinery of that peculiar sps.
cies Of murder that all the debate upon
the matter ceased, and the pitch. plaster
was accepted as conclusive evidence that
the body was intended for sale to the sur.
geons.
No doubt these poachers on great scale
were thoroughly skilled in all the finesse
and strategy Of their contraband art. The
regularity Of my poor brothers solitary
walk, its favorable hour, and the easy sug-
gcstion of drowning as the cause of his
disappearance, had all been noted, and the
enterprise was, as have told you, very
nearly accomplished, when an unexpected
interruption saved him.
My brother was ailiug at the time this
dreadful attempt was made upon his life.
He survived it little more than ten months,
and the able physician who attended him
attributed his death to the awful shock
which his system had received.
