SINGULAR CASE OF HUMAN PET
IRRIGATION IN MINNESOTA.

A well authenticated and rather as
tonishing case of petrifcation of HUI
man body, says the st. Paul Press, has
recently been reported to the writer,
but names and localities are omitted, in
Difference to the wishes of relatives of
the deceased lady, whose remains fur
nish the phenomenon herein alluded to.
The circumstances of the ease are sub
stantially as follows A young lady
residing IN the southern portion of the
state died about eleven years ago, and
was buried-the body remaining undis-
turbed until few days ago, when her
husband and friends deemed it expedi-
ent to remove it to another burial place
Workmen were employed to disinter the
coffin enclosing the body, and in due
time they had uncovered the coffin. but
on attempting to lift it to the surface,
were surpried to observe that it was of
extraordinary weight. Subsequently,
Investigations revealed the fact that the
body, instead of decay, which is pre-
sumed to be the lot of humanity, had
actually been petriied during the eleven
years intervening between its burial and
disinterment-the body and features re
tanning their bony outlines, but COM
pletely sohditiied or turned into stone.
The case Is an unusually interesting one,
but the friends of the lady, some of
whom are now residents of st. Paul, for
good and sufficient reasons, dislike to
have the name given to the public unless
some good and useful purpose can be
subserved thereby.

GEN. SHERMAN's CoNsENT.-Since the
marriage, we have been let into the Sc
orets of the courtship little. The
young man was not over sanguine when
the young lady referred him to her pa,
and he approached the awful presence
feeling uncertain whether he would sue
coed or be tried by oourt-martial. How
ever, he managed to ask for what he
wanted, and stood waiting for the YER
dict. The General heard him, and then
turned upon him abruptly with the quee-
ton, "Whet can you do2'
s'Do? Why, I can build an engine,
put it up and run It!'
''Give me your hand. You are the
boy for me. Now go and ask Min what
she thinks about IT,"
That Is the way the General got rid Of
that application. It is almost too late
in the day to speculate q to what Min
thought about it."

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

According to the advance sheets Of the
forthcoming report Of the Bureau Of
Statistics, the imports Of this country ia
1872 exceeded the exports by $S2, 3d.
964, the exports exceeded the imports
by $92, 80, SOL, a change ID the so-oslled
balance Of trade, within two years, of
$l85, 1854, 465 in favor of the United
States. This difference results, not SO
much from e decrease in importations,
although that has been considerable
1888, 118, AO3),-as from an increase Of
exports. The value of the latter in 1874
Ger the exports of 1872, is 1927, O36, O62.
II the apparent balance in our favor of
1872, $50. SOL, for the last fiscal year,
were an actual balance, it would be .
strong argument in favor of the pracGo-
ability of early specie resumption. But
it must be borne in mind that the value
Of imports is taken from invoices made
up at the foreign ports whence the goods
are shipped, and that freight must there
fore be added to get their actual cost on
arrival at New York. At least two-thirds
Of this freight is paid to foreigners, and
forms debit against this country to
that extent 1t is also possible, although
not certain, that the value of our exports
is estimated In currency. IF this be 80,
some fifty or sixty millions of apparent
margin would at once step down and out.
It may be further true that the account
includes shipments of gold and silver,
in which case an important fraction Of
the margin of exports over imports
may consist of these metals sent abroad
to pay interest. To this no doubt there
is another important addition that should
be made Of money RENTED through
banking houses to settle the various
balances due in Europe and Great
Britain, which does not figure in the
customs returns. Taking these various
drawbacks into account, it will require
more minute statement than is afford
ed by the ''advance sheets of the
Bureau of Statistics to accurately esti-
mate the bearing of last years business
upon the question of specie resumption.
One thing, however, seems beyond con-
tradic ton; namely, that we did better in
1874 than we did in 1872.

THE BOSTON MASSACRE"
& Relic from Newspaper Printed
Six Years Before the Declaration
Of Independence.

Mr.. Thomas J. Hsyhurst, Secretary
to Chief o. Police Hsxrigan, Of S.. Louis,
is the owner of what may be considered
an invaluable relic in the aewspaper
line. 1t is nothing less than copy Of
the Boston Gazette and Country Journal,
dated Monday, March IL, ITO; No. 77a.
It Is in good state Of preservation. the
paper being but slightly yellowed with
age. 1t is Of course printed in the old
style letters, with the old fashioned ''s"
50 profusely used - TO make The matter
difficult of comprehension At firstghnce.
The paper is doubly valuable however,
for containing full and minute account
Of the famous Boston massacre, the in
cipient fight of the revolution. wherein
four persons were shot down ia q riot be-
tween the soldiers stationed at Boston
and the citizens The names are Samuel
Gray, James CALDWELL. Samuel Maverick.
and Crispus Attuck, the latter nulasto.
Seven others were wounded. The parh-
ulars of the affair are related With great
minuteness, and che account is 40
eompsnied with the proceedings OF
meeting Of citizens calling ON the
Lieutenant Governor to remove the
troops from the town of Boston. The
report contain this stirring paragraph !:
Tuesday Morning presented . most
Shocking Scene, the blood of our Fell
low Citizens running like Water through
King street and the Merchants Exchange,
the principal Spot Of the Military Parade
FOR about 18 Months past. Our Blood
might also be tracked up to the Head OF
Long Lane and through divers other
Streets and Passages.
One side Of the paper is marked by
deep black Lines, Is q sign of mourning
for the dead OF the massacre, and one Of
the columns are pictures of four black
coffns. with the initiala of the dead taen
claim in the not scratched on the face,
and the insignia of Deaths head and
cross bones on each. There is not, per-
haps, another paper OF this print in
America.
