GB- Near Goodrich's landing, La, their
lived, some years ago, two brothers, Pete
and Jake Weir. They were the ueliest-
looking specimens of humanity that ever
trod earth their hands and feet were
of monstrous size, of which John Mulligan
the minstrel might say: "Ill fro 'em all
over ye J" One day a tlatboat having Ian
ded from down the river, Pete, who was
not quite as ugly as his brother, went down
to purchase a barrel of -four On seeing
him the captain could not suppress burst
of laughter. On recovering he said to Pete:
"By Jove you're the ugliest looking man
ever saw. If you can bring me more
hideous specimen of manhood than you are
you may have the flour for nothing"
With grin Of satisfaction Pete turned
on his heel, muttering "Jake's the man !'
The captain was almost dumbfounded
to see him return soon after with much
worse looking oddity, He was shocked at
the sight of such repulsive couple but his
tongue soon loosened, and Pete and Jake
had hardly got within hearing distance
when he roared outs
"You needn't come ON board at all, I'll
have the -four rolled out on the Levee."

CNrSO21'S stellar OIL
ILLUMINATING PURPOSES.

The proprietor of this Oil has for several years
felt the necessity OF providing for, and presenting
to the public, as a substitute for the dangerous
compounds which are sent broadcast over the
country, an oil that is SAFE and BRILLIANT,
rious and costly experiments, he has succeeded in
providing, and now offers to the public, such a
substitute in .CARS0N'S STELLAR OIL" 1t
should be used by every family
lST, Because 1t Is safe beyond question. The
primary purpose in the preparat n OF STELLAR
OIL has been to make it PERFECTLY SAFE,
thus nsurng the lives and property OF those who
use 1t,
3D. Because 1t is the most BRILLIANT liquid H.
uminator now known.
3D. Because 1t is more economical, in the long
run, than any of the dangerous oils and fluids
now In too common use.
4TH, Because 1t is intensely BRILLIANT, and
therefore economical, giving the greatest posi-
BILE light at the least expenditure to the consum-
er. Its present standard OF SAFETY AND
BRILLIANCY win always be maintaned,- for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining
the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now
enjoys.
To prevent the adulteration Of this with the ex-
plosve compounds now known under the name Of
kerosene, &C., &c, 1t is put up for family use in
stamped with the trademark OF the proprietor; it
cannot be tampered with between the manufac-
tnrer and consumer. None is genuine without the
TRADEMARK.
STELLAR OIL Is sold only by weight each can
each, thus securing to every purchaser full meas
ure IL Is the duty and interest OF all dealers and
consumers OF Illuminating oil TO use the STELLAR
OIL only, because II alone Is known to be safe and
reliable.

The Dutchman looked a great deal
astonished and not at all gratiticd at this
little family redundancy, but rising
to the magnitude of the occasion, he
said:
"Vell, den, dat ish also goot. Fill up

Singular Lawsuit-A Corpse In Liti-
ra1iOn.


One might suppose that corpse
would be about the last thing to become
the suhject,marter of a lawsuit; but
the remains of q man who has been
| dead for sixteen years are now ENJOYING
that distinction in Rhode Island. The
question Immediately involved is, which
has the right to control n corpse,-the
widow, because she controlled the de,
ceased when alive, or the child as his
heir and next of kin. This issue comes
up under the following circumstances
One Metcalf, citizen Of Providence,
X. l., a short time prior to his death,
purchased n lot in n cemetery, and
when he died was buried there The
deceased was u Jealous Unitarian, and
the lot was located in that part Of the
cemetery which is set apart for that dc
nomination. lie died intestate, and
the lot became the property of his
daughter, q Mrs. Pierce. Thirteen
years after his death, and three years
ago, the widow determined to have the
body removed from the Unitarian
bural'ground to another lot in the
same cemetery. Accordingly she pre-
sented to the officers of the cemetery -
written application, signed by herself
and six other persons who claimed to
be relatives of the deceased, though it
is alleged that only two of them were,
in fact, related to him. Mrs. Pierce
has, therefore, commenced a suit in
equity to compel the cemetery corpora
ton to restore the body to her lot, and
to rnjoin the widow from interfering.
The widow demurred, arguing that the
facts did not give the complainant any
right to relief at the hands of Court
of Equity; and the issue thus raised
was recently decided by the Supreme
Court of Rhode Island. The court
ovcrruled the demurrer, which is re-
garded as tantamount to II decision that
the corpse belonged to the complainant,
as property. This determines the rrin-
ciral point involved, which is new
one in American law, but does not
conclude the litigation, as the respond
ent Is allowed time to put in an answer.
One of the curious and almost comical
Incidents of the case was the discussion
as to the religious. belief of the de.
ceased. The bill set up that he was a
Unitarian, to which the counsel for the
widow replied in their brief that ''crecds
are for the living, not for the dead, and
perhaps in the new light that is now
vouchsated him, his prediction for
Unitarian association may have become
somewhat impaired"

CarbOlic Acid and Poultry.

DIR. Emerson says "Put tn, &c
ounces of carboiic acid into twelve
gu rts of lime water or whitcwash :
whitewash the walls of the poultry
house well with this wash. and no living
parasites will be seen-their death is
inevitable. A weak solution may be
made to wash fowls in; one part of the
acid to SIXTY parts of warm water; let
it cool, then dip the fowls in until the
feathers become thoroughly wet and
the solution reaches every part of the
body. Afterward place the fowls on
clean dry straw, where the sun will
reach them, until they are dry. An
other form in which it is recommended
to use it is a soap. These soaps are for
sale by various manufacturers, and
have II high reputation for cleansing
animals and the cure of skin diseases.
A mode of making this soap is as fol-
lows: Dissolve three pounds of COM
mon bar soap in hot water, add two to
four ounces of carbolic acid, according
to the desired strength. Allow to cool
as usual in making hard soap. AS these
preparations may be bought ready
prepared, and as carbolic is by no
means Il safe article to keep about the
house, we would advise persons to buy
rather than atteml' 20 Nake them, ex-
cept in the case Il whitewash, when
they must get the pure article and

A Game of Hide and Seek, and Almost
Funeral.

Yesterday Mr.. Charles Thompson, an
employe of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, and his wife, only lately mar.
ricd, treated themselves to u little game of
hide and seek for pastime. When it
came Mr.. Thompson's turn he resolved
TO hide where there was no possibility
of discovery. AT the signal to "come," !"
Mrs. L. began to look eagerly from
place to place, but nowhere could her
husband be found. The house was ran
sacked from garnet to cellar. A tour
around the premises was made, out
houses and tence-corners examined, but
the trlant was not to be found. Mrs.
L. became alarmed and called loudly
for her husband, but there was no re-
sponse. A half hour was spent in fruit
less search, when she determined to
make a second search in the wardrobe.
She had tried the door once before, and
finding it locked, could not believe that
he had hidden himself within. How
ever, the opposite door was opened, and
cautiously she inserted her hand, when
it came in contact with human hair in
the midst Of the clothing. She called
the name of her husband. but there
was no response. The wife, Mortified
at the thought that her husband was
dead and locked up in the wardrobe,
screamed and ran to a reighbor's. The
lady and gentleman quietly ran in, and
pried open the door, when Mr.. Thomp-
son was discovered doubled up in half
sitting posture, cold, motionless, and to
all appearances dead.
DR.. Griffith was sent for and the body
was taken from its hiding place and
stretched upon bed. The pulse was
examined, but no beating could be felt
respiration had ceased, the limbs
were cold, the eyes set, and there was
little doubt the man was dead. Upon
n close examination of the heart, how
ever, the doctor discovered faint and
almost imperceptible movement. The
clothing was hastily removed. A heavy
friction of the limbs commenced, and
proper restoratives administered. Grad
ually the circulation increased, warmth
was restored, and in about three.quar.
ters OF an hour after the arrival t the
doctor Mr.. Thompson was able to speak.
Mr.. Thompson had entered the ward
robe and bolted the door on the inside,
doubtless thinking soon to come out OF
his hiding place. But before he could
come out he had tainted from want OF
air. 1t is almost miracle that his life
was prescrved.-LomsviUe Courier.

Important Gold and Silver Discoveries
in Arizona.

A Los Angeles, Cal, dispatch an
nounces the arrival there, on he 10th
of August, of the Todd party, with
Prof. Glass, from the geological expedi-
ton through Arizona and New Mexico.
They ave 1000 pounds of specimen
gold, silver, and other ores, and several
pints of precious and doubtful stones.
On the route from Fort Windgate to
Albuquerque, and on the borders Of
Arizona, IN what are called the Ant
Hills, precious stones were discovered
all at the surface. They have genuine
rubies, the specimens ranging from a
large pea downward. The diamonds, if
any, are small and of little value. The
party found rich gold and silver bear
ing quartz near Fort Windgate. The
party also claims to have discovered
and located flowing oil springs that will
yield from 70 to 100 barrels II day.
They will not divuIge the precise loca-
ton. In the old mounds and ruins of
ancient cities they found relics of tools,
pottery, and woven cloth centuries old.
The party is not sanguine as to the
diamond discoveries. Three pints of
their best stones will be tested and ex-
hibited. They suffered privations on
the road, and narrowly escaped perish
ing crossing the Colorado desert. The
diamond excitement at Frisco is sub
siding.
