A Haunted Murderer,

An old upholsterer was barbarously
murdered, some months ago, in his
apartment in Paris he was found with
his skull open, the neck severed with q
razor, and mattress over the remains.
The murderer carried off money and
railway scrip. Hehas just been arrest
ed and has made a full confession.
After the crime he entered restaurant,
ordered oysters, and found clot of his
victims blood had dropped on them !;
he rose and took the train to Brussels,
disposed of the scrip, but the old man
with his cleft skull haunted him he
believed it interposed in all his doings;
was the first to occupy his chair, his
pillow when he washed he imagined
it was in the old mans blood ); it was
only his figure he saw at the theatre
he tried to read, but he felt he was ever
perusing an account of the crime; every
poster he concluded to be a reward for
his apprehension in nc manner could
he shake Banquo off.

DismisSing the Undertakers.

The lecture room in the New York
Association building was comfortably
filed with persons who favor cremation.
Only one lady was there. The names
of the gentlemen who ask the Legisla-
ture to incorporate the New York Gre
nation Society are Edward A. Caswell,
II. w. Poor, James f. Dwight, Francis
G. Bowman, Henry F. Holmes, George
Lorilard, Henry Stone, James w. s.
Arnold, Francis M. Weld, and DR..
Samuel Sexton. Prof Henry Stone
presided.
Mr.. Edward A. Caswell, the Secre.
tary, read the report OF the Committee
on Organization. They proposed
stock company, which shall bind itself
to dispose of the bodies of the company
by cremation. The secretary said that
it was impossible to make it absolutely
obligatory on any member to be Gre.
mated, as person after death would
have little to say.
The company purpose to dispose of
bodies by cremation at as near cost as
possible. At meeting of eminent
physicians the subject was discussed,
and it was thought that the expense
would be from S. to $9 for each body.
The company, the Secretary thought,
would be able to erect q suitable fur
mace, with all the necessary appliances,
on the outskirts of the city for about
$4,000. Several models of furnaces,
he added, would soon be exhibited to
the society for their selection. Care
would be taken not to dispose of body
which had come to its death through
unnatural causes. Post mortems, if
thought necessary, would be made, and
physicians and undertakers' certificates,
as required, would always have to be
furnished. The ashes of the dead would
be at the disposal of the friends or rela-
tives, who might choose to bury them
and erect monument.
Francis G. Bowman, of the law COM
mittee, reported that after careful in
vestigation they were of opinion that
there was nothing to prevent them from
carrying out the objects of the society.
A public meeting is soon to be held in
which eminent speakers will be heard
upon cremation. DR.. Barnard, of Col
umbia College, Prof. Seeley, Mr.. Crof-
ton, Rev. DR.. o. B. rockingham, James
F. Dwight, and others delivered. ad-
dresses. Many more signitures were
added to the list of members.

Too Much for Him.

Horace Greeley used to affirm that
newspaper men were the most patient
people, as a class, on the earth, and he
was not far from right, though there
are times when patience ceases to be a
virtue with the most enduring. Nearly
everybody in the western part of Michi-
gan knows Burr, who used to start a
newspaper about once month the year
round, generally bringing them out in
Grand Rapids, but sometimes making
a flying trip to other points.
Burr could stand to be told that he
lied about circulation, was on the fence
as politician, and that he didn't know
anything about publishing paper !;
and when men threatened to sue or
thrash him he only smiled a sad smile
and wished that mankind wouldn't get
excited. During a religious revival at
Grand Rapids, Burr was converted, and
it frequently happened that religious
people called at his Office to talk with
him. One day a minister came in
and, after talking while, he proposed
prayer.
He was in the act of kneeling, when
his foot struck one of the outside forms,
which was leaning against leg of the
stone, ready to be lifted up, and over it
went, making bushel of "pi." Burr
looked at the ruin wrought, thought of
the two weeks of overwork, and COM
menced taking off his coat, saying
Sim trying to be Christian and set a
good example, but rat my buttons if l
can't lick you in just two minutes p
The clergyman backed down stairs in
no time, lodging the lye-brush on the
way, and Burr backslid at once,

A Breach of Promise Case.

A Liverpool cotton-broker has recent
ly been cast in $4,000 damages for
breach of promise of marriage. In a
rather unpleasant interview with the
father of the young lady he seemed to
have been subjected to rigorous ex-
animation as to his reasons for break
ing the engagement. He had nothing
to allege against the girls character or
disposition. She had given him no
cause for jealousy. He was not entan-
sled with anybody else. But there
was one grave objection to the match !:
"I have discovered" said he, "that
she does not take sufficiently lively
interest in cricket" Certainly this. was
very unfortunate dissimilarity of
tastes, yet it does not seem to us essen
tial to the happiness of married life
that two hearts should beat as one even
at the sight of the bat. Croquet of
course would be a different thing but
the strictly masculine games, like
cricket and draw-poker, hardly demand
the active cooperation of wife.

STATISTICS SHOW that of the thousands

STATISTICS SHOW that of the thousands
who die annually, a large proportion
are destroyed, not by old age, or by the
natural exhaustion of vitality, but
through intemperance, or disregard
either on the part of the sufferer, or his
parents, of the simplest laws OF nature.
Such being the case-and figures can
not naisrepresent .fdctS-the conclusion
is that were the causes of intemperance,
its kindred vices, and a disregard of
natural laws, removed, the average
length of the human lifetime would be
extended proportionately. What agent
most rapidly, harmlessly and certainly
will eradicate these vices, or the ten
dency to them, is the question which
has been as thoroughly and persistent
ly agitated as has the search for the
Philosophers stone. The discovery
has been made by DIR. Joseph Walker,
whose widely known VINEGAR BITTERs
are accomplishing wonders which the
old fogy doctors never dreamed of. Try
them and judge for yourself, as thou
sands are doing all over the country.

The Sea Mouse.

The sea mouse is one of the prettiest
creatures that lives under water. It
sparkles like diamond, and is radiant
with all the colors of the rainbow, al
though it lives in the mud at the bot
tom of the ocean. It should not have
been called a mouse, for it is larger
than rat. It is covered with scales
that run up and down as it breathoss,
and it glitters like gold shining through
hecky down, from which fine silky
bristles wave that constantly change
from one brilliant tint to another, SO
that, as Cuvier, the naturalist, says, the
plumage of the humming-bird is not
more beautiful. Sea mice are some
times thrown upon the beach by storms.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation Of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. 1t arises from a cold settled in
the throat, from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from
severe use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the ldrynr and
glottts, which are the organs of the voice, and,
extending downwards, produces hoarseness.
coughing, and splitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the lungs,
and terminate in consumption. 1t is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases Of this dis
ease that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has achieved unparalleled success, and
won the loudest praise from all who have used

A THOUGHT FOR CIaAR-SMoKERs.-A
good cigar costs on an average 10 cents;
a moderate smoker uses three day.
Three cigars day, at 10 cents apiece,
amount in a year to $109'50, a sum
sufficient to purchase the nucleus of a
fine library. Placed at interest at six
per cent. it would amount in six years
to over $3.50. Thus invested it does
not destroy an otherwise sweet breath,
waste nervous energy, perfume the
family or personal wardrobe, nor create
an appetite for stimulus which leads to
indulgence in strong drink.

The following remedy for choked cat
tie has never failed when tried: A tea
