Judge Kelley sent letter to Mr.. Poland,
Chairman of the Credit-Mobilier Investi-
eating Committee, on the goth, enclosing
check for $500, with the statement that it
is for the balance of a loan due from him

claims. He asks that this, together with
the ten shares of Credit-Mobilier stock

About ten O'Clock Friday morning a
man, passing along the road with an OK
team, heard shouts, as of some one in dis
tress, and, upon making search, discov-
cred the little barricade covered with
packed snow, and was Mortified, upon
disturbing several apparent knolls in the
vicinity, to find that they contained the
dead bodies of men. He found the bodies
of Thomas Holden, Stephen O'Neil and
John O'Neil, the first two quite dead, and
the latter with life almost extinct. Upon
searching under the cover he found two
feet protruding from the snow, and,
breaking away the crust, he found Charles
O'Neil, alive, but in terrible condition
The bodies were at once lugged to his
sled and conveyed to Meagher's, and
thence to Wilmar, John O'Neil dying be-
fore reaching that place. The details Of
the sufferings of Charles O'Neil are horri-
flying and almost incredible. 1t seems
that he had laid down Immediately upon
entering the cover, and had, while in this
position, been fastened down by the terri
BILE weight of the snow which drifted
upon him, or rather upon the upper pOr-
tion of his body. 1t was SO heavy, he
said, as to cause unbearable torture.
After he found he was unable to rise, and
that the snow was covering his head, he
feared suffocation, and to keep that mem
Der free he constantly raised and lowered
it, and in this manner, while he could not
prevent the drift from forming over it, he
formed an air chamber, which prevented
suffocation. In his endeavor to free his
head the poor fellow actually tore the
hair almost entirely from the scalp. Here
he lay, with his feet exposed to the air
and frozen stiff and with the cruel frost
slowly creeping up his limbs, and unable
to move scarce muscle of his body
from Tuesday night until Friday
noon. Can more horrible situation
be imagined? The poor fellows right
arm is frozen to the elbow, the right
leg to the knee and the left leg above the
ankle. These members are thus far
completely dead, and he has been lying at
Wilmar until yesterday, when the first
train succeeded in getting through.

"A writer in the Kansas Magazine has
been at the trouble of measuring quad
ruple sheet of a New York paper, and
states, among other things of which few
newspaper readers are aware, that the
number he has measured contains $50,
600 ems" while Mark Twain's new book,
an octave of 591 pages, contains only
$50, 600 ems, and that this one copy of the
paper would make an octave containing
SO pages more than Twain's book. Mr..
Wilder adds that 'the price of the book
is $3. so, of the paper four cents;" and for
the further enlightenment of people who
do not appreciate big newspapers, and
who may not be familiar with Twain s
books, says, three copies of this quad
ruple sheet would contain fourth more
matter than the common English Bible,
Apocrypha included.

AN exceedingly eccentric man re-
Gently died at Hinesburg, VT, in the per-
son of Augustus McEwen, aged eighty
four. He had his grave dug twenty
years ago, and stoned up and filled with
earth, that it might be in perfect condi-
ton whenever needed. Last fall he had
the earth dug out of it, saying he ex-
pected to be laid there before winter was
over. His coffin was in readiness seven
years ago, and so arranged that he could
lie on his side with his knees drawn up,
as he said he slept in this condition in
life, and wanted to sleep so in death. All
his plans for the funeral were made in ad-
vance, and among the rest he selected
four colored boys, who had worked for
him more or less. as had their father be-
fore them, for pail ll-bearers. They were to
carry the body to the grave, which was
on his own farm, lower it to its last rest
ing-place, fill the grave with earth, and
then walk back to the house, where they
were to find each letter, sealed and di-
rected to them, in. which was the money
to pay for this last service required of
them. His friends took good care to
carry out his peculiar wishes. ..,..

One ofthe attractions at Antwerp. says
a correspondent, aud certainly not the
least, but which few travellers see, Is the
building of the Inquisition now used as
museum of antiq uities, which contains
a small but choice collection, among
which are specimens OF coins and medals
from the first knowledge of coinage, said
to rank among the finest in Europe |;
complete specimens of minerals one of
the first pianos ever made; Gobelin tap
estries from 2G0 to 300 years old; the
golden keys of the city, which were given
to the Prince OF Parma upon It's surren-
der in 1885 to the Spanish forces under
his Command, and after one 70 the most

see to-day dates from that time. Upon
its sombre walls are attached frlghtlul

relate to the period of reaction, which
followed the instruction of the Neither
lands against the Spanish tyranny. A
small fee is required to visit the dungeons
which are absolutely deprived of light,
and the air can ouly penetrate by few
small holes pierced between the i'm
mence iron bars Of the doors. The sin
lister aspect of these dungeons makes one
shudder. In one Of these calls is large
plank firmly fixed in the ground, and
garnished with an iron collar, to which
the victim was attached also a large
IRON hook, upon which they were impal
ed. In another call are pulleys, hooks,
and two heavy stones attached by a chain,
which were hung upon the neck, and
called the stones of justice. Last Of all
is very narrow cell or vat, to which
entrance was from trap door in the top.
It was filled with water, the victim thrust
in, the trap closed, and he was left to
drawn. The sight of these implements
of torture calls to mind the innumerable
victims that were sacrificed with all the
refinement of savage cruelty, and in
the name of religion and justice.
