THE MYSTERY OF DEATH.
The LifeIess Form Of Telegraph OPP
orator FOund in q Stream.

orator Found in a Stream.
Day before yesterday, young man
named Kreber, who, until recently, held
the position of railroad telegraph operator
at Stevenson, Alabama, left that place in
apparently good health. Yesterday morn
ING his lifeless form was found in small
stream near Stevenson, by parties who
CHANGED to pass that way. The head was
resting in the water, and the only mark Of
violence was a small scar little to the right
of the young mans forehead. For some
time Kreber had been dissipating excessive
ly, and it is supposed by those who wish to
unravel his mysterious death, that while
drunk and maddened be fell into the shall
low stream head foremost, and being una
BILE to extricate himself, was drowned.
Others incline to the belief that he was
foully dealt with.

and gave fgures to show that the bill pro-
posed to make the State liable for what she
could not meet as it fell due. He was in
favor of levying an ample tax, but could
not vote for funding. No individual could
keep up with the world and pay compound
interest on what he owed. Much less could
State.
Mr.. Elder followed, advocating the pas
sage of the bill, and read authorities in proof
of the position that the coupons of the pres
eat bonds rightfully bore interest anyhow.

could see as he worked, the long rife pits
of the rebels, not hundred yards distant,
ablaze with the light of fifty rifles, and
feel the wind of their bullets as they
whistled past him. Occasionally one
struck the cannon, as he noticed by the
peculiar chirp of the impact Favored
luck, he remained mscathed save by one
skin-scraping shot. 1t fifteen minutes-it
seemed to him an hour-the vent was
clear. AS the gun was loaded, lanyard
and primer were passed up to him, and
these affixed, he slipped quickly off. The

| The rfle-pits We're at once abandoned, and

ceed without further interruption. The
captain of the battery reported twenty
two lead marks from bullets that had
struck the piece.
In reward for this exploit Stray was
offered a Second Lieutenancy, but being a
modest man, and not fitted by education
for the position, he declined it and was
satisfied to accept the appointment o.
Master Mechanic in the Ordinance De
ment.
This was by no means the only adven
ture OF peril that Stray was engaged il
during the war, and his history woult

medal for valorous conduct, of which We

INTERESTING TO CIGAR SMOKERS. The
San Francisco Examiner gives the particu-
lars Of a flightful disease which prevails
among the Coolie cigar makers Of that
city, and which, through the medium of
the cigars they manufacture, had been
communicated to the individuals in the
city. Upon examination of the workmen
II one factory, one was found whose body
and hands were affected with the disgust
ing disease. The base of the nails We're
running and fostering sores, and the palm
OF the hand was covered with scabs of the
most offensive appearance. Other coolies
have the same distemper, though not in so
offensive condition. The workmen roll
the cigars in their hands, and use the ends
OF their fingers in tipping that end of the
cigar which is placed in the mouth Cigar
smokers may comfort themselves with
the reflection that in their favorite habit
they may be sucking in the product of one
OF the most loathsome, filthy, and inveter-
ate diseases that humanity is capable of
enduring. We caution the cigar smoker
to watch the effect of his cigar upon his
mouth and throat
