FIVE WEEKS DEAD, AND NOT, BUR
led.

The case of a young lady named
Bonny, of Canawangus, in the State
OF New York, who died five weeks
ago, presents some remarkable fea-
lures. The corps is still unburied,
and presents no outward signs of
decomposition. The family and
friends of the deceased haye no
thought of consigning the remains
to the grave or permitting an inves-
tigation, unless actually forced to do
SO by the process of putrefaction or
the action OF the authorities. There
is at present an odor permeating the
atmosphere Of the room, which,
though not positively offensive, is not
such as a well person would desire
to inhale. Yet no evil influence
seems to have been exerted thereby
upon the health of the family or the
watchers. The report that Bonny
had directed that her body should
not be buried within six weeks was
a mistake. The family claim that
no time was set, and they will con-
tinue to await the return Of the spir
it to take possession of its form of
clay. The body is still cold and per-
fectly black, with the exception of a
light-colored ring around the left
eye. An opinion is expressed that
when the work of decomposition out
wardly presents itself it will be so
rapid as to enforce speedy meas
ures.

VILE pu HAYRE AFFAIR.

1t will probably have to be con
ceded after all that the sinking OF
the Vile du Havre was a bad anu
dIscreditable affair, from first 70 last.
1t is in full evidence that the Loch
Erne was seen ten or fifteen minutes
before the collision, and the unani-
nous testimony Of the passengers is
that the crew behaved like a pack OF
brutal towards, each bent upon saw
ing his own life. The coal beavers
and deck hands filled the few boats
that were launched, padded to the
Loch Erne, and left The passengers
to their fate, There were few or no
life preservers where they could be
got at, and the idea of showing
where they were and how they
we're to be used, never occurred to
any officer or sailor of the steamer.
The few passengers who were saved
owned their lives entirely to chance
or their own exertions. 1t is but
small credit to Captain Surmont that
he stood on the bridge of his yessel
as she went down, with a deck load
of passengers beneath him and moi

SUDDEN VENGEANCE UPON HIGH.
WAY ROBBERS AND MuRDERERS.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1S.-A special to
the Democrat from Sedalia says in
formation was received there to day
that farmer living near Cambridge
Saline Co., sold lot of hogs in that
town yesterday, receiving therefore
about 81. 900, and that while return
ing home he was overtaken on the
road by five men, headed by a dcs-
perado named Tom Stanton, who
shot and killed him, and then rob-
bed the body Of the money. Short
ly after the tragedy a gentleman re-
siding near by discovered the body
lying in the road, and hearing an an
cry alteration in an adjacent thicket
comprehended the situation at once.
He quietly raised number of neigh
bors, captured three of the murder
ers, hung them to tree, and then
started in pursuit of the other two,
but, at last accounts, it was not
known whether they had been cap
tured.

THE SCARLET FEVER-A VERY SIM
PIE REMEDY SUGGESTED.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.l

Robert Christie, of the Potrero,
suggests q remedy for the scarlet fe-
yer, which he AYERS has Invariably
proved successful. 1t is very SIM
pie, and lies within the reach of
those whose limited means preclude
them from employing the services of
a physician. 1t is this: 'Take an
onion and cut it in half; cut out a
portion of the centre, and into the
cavity put spoonful of saffron; put
the pieces together, then wrap them
up in a cloth and bake them in an
oven until the onion is cooked so
that the juice will run reely;squeeze
out all the juice, and give the patti
ent teaspoonful, at the same time
rubbing the chest and throat with
goosegrease or rancid bacon, if there
is any cough or soreness in the
throat. In short time the fever
will break out in an eruption all over
the body. All that is then necessary
is to keep the patient warm and pro-
tected from draught, and the recov-
cry is certain. Mr.. Christie says he
has been employing this remedy for
many years, and never knew it to
fail when proper care was taken of
the patient after its application. One
family, in which there were five
children down with it at one time
recently, used this simple remedy at
upon his telling them Of it, and eve
ry one of the little ones recovered
in a short time.

POPE AND EMPEROR WILLIAM.

The controversy between the Pope
and the EN- oeror William seems 10
grow il intensity with the lapse OF
time. The Pope launches encycli-
Gals, and the Emperor follows with
orders which increase in stringency
with every new demand. The Prus-
sian Government has issued a new
ordinance demanding that in future
all Bishops on their installation
shall swear to observe the strictest
subordination to the civil power
an the most complete opposition
to all disloyal int -igues. The first
case to which this will be applied
will be the appointment of a success
sor to archbishop Ledochowski.
Of course, the Pope will refuse to
recognize a vacancy, and thus the
cid Catholic will be called upon to
supply a candidate for the vacant
position. This will be apt to draw
the lines between the two branches
of Catholism very closely.

SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL.

The substitute for the House sal
ary repeal bill proposed in the Sen
ate, is not satisfactory, although an
improvement on the House bill. II
restores the old pay of members,
officers, and employees of Congress
and of heads of Departments, but
leaves the Psesident's compensation
untouched. In restoring the old
pay of Congress it restores also the
grossly unequal system of mileage
compensation, whereby the greater
the distance a member lives from
Washington the larger his net pay
for the actual travelling expense in
these days of railways bear no pro
portion to the rates of mileage com
pensation fixed in the days of stage
coaches. Restoration of the ole
rates throughout t,lncluding the Pres
ident's compensation as soon as il
can be constitutionally reached
change of the mileage system to ac
tual travelling expenses, and fail
allowance in official stamps in lieu
of the franking privilege-these ale
the only remedies for the blunder O.

GRAIN IN CHICAGO.

The Chicago papers publish the
first annual report Of VIM. H. Har-

of grain inspected in store during
the year was 65, ,1S5, 707 bushels. and
the amount inspected from store &c.
543, ,799 bushels, making a total OF
135, ,729, ,506 bushels. The cost of in
spection was 54,O9S,53, and the
amount collected in fees $4,000, rs.
The present capacity of Chicago ele-

a capture, when she felt of the craw
until she discovered substance she
took to be her tooth, and, taking g
knife, the craw was opened at the
place, the tooth taken out, land again
closed with needle and thread, and
the chicken released. The chicken
is still living and well, though full
of resolution never again to swallow
a tooth, while the lady sports a full

The report of the State Salt In
spector of Michigan shows that S23,
SAG barrels OF salt were inspected
last year-an increase of nearly 100,-

largest amount ever inspected. The
salt producing territory has been
considerably enlarged during the
year.

SENATOR PoMERoY.

The ways of politics are devious
and perilous to ex-senator Pomeroy
First defeated for re election by dark
intrigue, and then arrested for brib-
cry, he had hardly been announced
as having cleared matters up when
he becomes the victim of another
conspiracy. 1t appears that a molle
prosequi. had been entered on the
court records by United States Dis
trict Attorney Scofield,; and when
the case was called, on Monday, no
proceeding could be had. 1t at once
leaked out that Scofeld had tamper-
ed with the records, sand he is open
ly charged with having been bribed
by Pomeroy in the sum of $7,50O.-
What will be the end OF the scandal

A GOOD CHOICE.

California does herself honor in
returning to the United States Sen,
ate a man so pure and able as New
ton Booth, who, as Governor of that
far-off State, has made q record
which will carry with it a favorable
and fitting introduction to political
circles in Washington. The speech
of Governor Booth against the Cen
tral Pacific R.R. monopoly last sum
mer, was one of the allest and m psf
convincing public speeches ever
made in this country. Aman capa-
bic ofsuch an effort upon such q
question will add to the strength

DEMAND FOR WHEAT.

1t has been known since August
that Europe would need wheat from
abroad this season. The harvest was
poor in many districts which form
erly gave large yield. Grain deal
ers through our Westand Northwest
are computing the probable demand
upon them incidental to this defici-
ency in Europe. A st. Louis stats
tician who has evidently given the
subject attention, says the spring
wheat crop of 1873 was the largest
ever produced In this country. The
crop of 1872 was second to it. Oh
the crop of 1872, Milwaukee and
Chicago received 100000 bushels
from September 1st, 1872, to Angus;
3lst, 1873. Suppose we accept the
general estimate, fixing the gain this
year at so per cent. over the crop OF
1872, then the receipts of Chicago
and Milwaukee would show a gain
of something near 100000 bush.
els. If this were to be taken as the
only gain in breadstuffs available
for expectation from all our ports.
we could come very near supplying
all the demand likely to be made
upon US out of our actual surplus
without the necessity for advancing
prices much above their present
range. The United Kingdom ol
Great Britain, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales consumes somewhere neal
70, 900, 900 bushels of wheat more
than they produce; therefore,if they
were compelled to buy all their sup
ply from us, we could spare it and
have plenty of wheat left.
