sisted, as he said. becanse he would
prefer to bury il than to have con.
tinnance Of the shocking demonstra.
tions. Accordingly the remains
were deposited temporarily il a re-
ceiving vault.
Yesterday the vault was opened,
and the coffin brought ont FIR per-
manent burial elsewhere, when it
was noticed that the strong screws
which had been tightly driven in
three days previous were strained,
and the top Of the coffin pried half
open.
lremblingly, and with the most
dreadful anticipatiois, the box was
opened, and horrible-most horrible q
to relate--the body was found
turned and twisted over, the face
downward, one hand clutched the
hair Of the head, and the other
reaching out, with the nails driven
into the wood; the teeth clenched,
the eyes glazed and diStended, and
even tie feet giving violence ot'hav-

THE VEsPER BELLS THAT
BROKE AN ExILE's llEART.-ln
the Cathedral of Limerick there
hangs a chime Of bells, which were
cast in Italy by al enthusiast in his
trade, who fixed his home near the
monastery where they were first
hung, tIat he might erjoy their
sweet solemn music. In q political
revolution tie bells were taken
away to some distant Iald, and the
maker himself became a re ugee and
exile. His wandering brought him,
after many years to Ireland. On q
calm aud beautiful evening, as the
vessel which bore h m huated Oh the
placid bosom Of the Shannon, sud-
detly the evening chime pealed
forth from the cathedral towers.
His experienced ear caught the
sweet sounds, and he knew that his
lost treasures were found. His
early home, his friends, his beloved
and native land, all the best asso-
ciatiol,s of his life, were in those
sounds. lie aid himself back in
the boat, crossed his arms upon his
breast, aud listened to the music.
The boat reached the wharf, but
still he lay there silent and notion
less. They spoke to h IN, but he did
not answer. They went to him,
but his spirit had fled. The tide Of
memories that came vibrating
through his heart at that we'll
known chime had snapped its lite
strings.

The RurI World proposes to
cure founder ii horses this way:
Take the horse into a brook or
stream Of water deep enough to
nearly reach his body, and iasten
him there with his head so high
that he cannot drink. II the
weather is warm keep him there
several hours. Then remove him
and rub his legs thoroughly to pro.
mote circulation, If still lame rc-
peat the process two or three times
and a cure will be effected. Iii the
winter twenty minutes will be long
enough to keep the horse in the
water, when he should be taken
out and rubbed as III the other case

His plan was to examine each let

one that contained m0Ney. In
five months the losses amounted to
thousands Of do lars, causing great
loss and annoyance to Alessrs.

FACTS FOR THF HoUsEKEEPER.
When starched clothes stick to
the iron, it il exceedingly annoying,
and the housekeeper is rather apt
to get vexed and discouraged.
Many think il is owing to the man
ner III which the starch is made;
but this is not always the reason.
One cause of,tarcll sticking is owing
to the authorizations in starch itself.
80 it is very essential to try and
procure the best article. Starch
g oss is used to prevent this sticking,
in lien Of adding polish.
Some lauldresSes shave hard soap
and boil it up with the starch. An
excellent way to make clothes stiff
is to starch them when wringing
out Of the rinse water. then dry
them on the line, and when aboutto
be ironed, dampen them aid spread
them between dry clothes AID roll
them up tight for q quarter Of an
hour, When they will iron very
smooth.
Another desidentum is to take
good care oftheiruns. Many house.
keepers who are called neat, will
let them stand Oh the stove for
days, catching all the slops Of cook
ing. When not III use they should
be kept III dry place Once the
face is ruSted they will never look
as well again. But in case Of their
becoming rusty, rub them o. emery
or brown paper. Beeswax is good
to use, rubbing it weIlover the front
face Of the iron on a cloth or paper.
Many are the bits Of soap wasted
in the household. A good pan is
to save every scrap in a jar Or keg,
aud when wanted cover them with
water, and set on the stove to sim
mer. When melted, remove them
and let them get cold. Crumbs
made in cutting up soap, bits Of
toilet soap too small for use, all
such odds and ends can be saved
and used in this manner.

Horse Against Dog.

For some weeks past, says the Liyerpool
Albion, cases have continually happened in
in which persons were bitten by rabid dogs.
but in no case has any strict preventive meas
ure been adopted. On Tuesday regular
combat occurred between one OF these dogs
aud horse, which will surely lead to the
adoption Of precautions. Both animals be-
longed to Mr.. Booth, contractor, of bunker
ly street, Oldham, and the smaller was half
bred bull-and terrier dog, weighing about
thirty pounds; the horse was worth some
eco. 1t appears the dog was irritated at the
horse kicking and made a furious onslaught
on it, catching il by the lower lip and holding
on for some time, d-spite the efforts of the
horse itself and the driver, assisted BY numer-
Gus bystanders, TO cast it off, At length the
release was effected, but the brute instantly
fixed its teeth into the leg of an unconscious
onlooker, and then turned to its equine prey.
The driver succeeded in getting his unfortu-
nate charge down the road, however and sew
eral volunteers drove the dog into a by street,
with the intention of securing it. Their ef-
forts were vain, and the cur secured off in
pursuit OF the horse which, on its approach.
started of at a mad gallop. Tie dog got to
ITS fia,'k, however, and inflicted several wounds
inducing the terror-struck animal even to IN
crease the speed of its blind career. A firm
hold of one of the hind legs was improved
gradually, series OF bites being given mean
while, til the DOG, with all the tenacity of its
race, hung from the loose flesh on the chest
of the large-sized bot really helpless object of
its attack. This would probably have contin-
ued till one or the other was compelled to
drop off from exhaustion, but the cart to
which the horse was harnessed came to wreck
against another similar vehicle, and all were
brought to stand-still, and with much diff
Guilty separated, On the horse being attended
by veterinary surgeon, it was found neces-
sary literally to pin up the flesh round the
wounds on the mouth, breast and legs.

LITERARY METHOD 1 lately had a chat
with an experienced lady novelist upon literary
method as applied to story telling. She told
me that in writing novel she first sketched
out her story in brief, then wrote it carefully as
a short narrative, then divided the ideas into
three parts or volumes, next developed the in
cidents in detail, and planned them into chap
tiers, allotting to each chapter its own special
incident. "And then write so many hours
every day until all is finished for the printer"
The information is curious. 1t offers material
for thought. The lady has written at least enc
excellent story, and many others up to the gen.
eral standard of Mudie's. But cannot believe
that the regularity and method ofmere carpen-
try can be brought to go hand in hand with fan
cy and imagination. Sir Walter Scott was so
wonderfully industrious himself that his opin-
ion in such a matter is worth having. ST
doubt" he said, 'if men of method, who can
lay aside or take up pen just at the hour an
pointed, will ever be better than poor cras-
lures. Lady Louisa Stuart used to tell me of
Mr.. Boole, the translator of Tasso and Arios-
10, and in that capacity noble translator of
gold into lead, that he was clerk in the In
dla house,with long ruffies and a snufecolor-
ed suit OF clothes, who occasionally visited her
iather, John, earl of Butte. She sometimes
conversed with him, and was amused to find
that ne old exactly so many couplets day by
uay. nether more nor less, and habit had
made 1t light to him, however heavy it SEEM
ed to the reader" The present ase encour-
ages this hack kind of literature. If writer
is to live, he must produce easily. The sue
cess of a novelist whenever he has made
name, seems, unfortunately, to depend upon
the rapidly with which he can turn out
books.-GeRtlemGR' Magazine.
