The ludicreus spectacle of man
looking for himself and suffering the
keenest chagrin at failing to find him
self, was exhibited on the Union Pacific
Railroad not long ago. An EASTERN
bound emigrant train stopped at Rock
Creek Station for breakfast. One emf
grant strayed away and the first section
OF the train started without him. He
reached the second section ON time, and
managed to get on. His friends in the
first section Of the train missed him and
we're seized with a dread that he had
been killed. The conductor telegraphed
to the seconi section TO look for him and
bring him or his body to Laramie. The
passengers turned out readily to aid in
the search. Foremost among them, and
displaying a terrible degree of anxiety,
was the man for whom they were look
ing. He hunted for the missing emf
grant with zeal which could only be
accounted for by the fact-unknown
TO him-that he was looking for him
self During the whole day and the
night following the search was continued,
the unconscious cause of il suffering
deeply to think that he had bees lost
When he reached Laramie the idea never
occurred to his friends that the railroad
employees might still be looking for the
missing emigrant, when one bright indi-
yidual startled the crowd with the re-
mark that our hero had been looking for
and had failed TO find himself

A soiourner at Frankfort-on. the Main,
in Germany, had occasion to order sim
Gle bedstead. "When it was brought
home" he says, 81 was surprised to find
that the ornamentation of one side of the
bedstead was not repeated on the oppo-
site side, it being, in fact, quite plain. |
expressed my surprise and dissatisfaction
to the maker, saying that when the head
of the bedstead was placed against the
wall of the room the sides then showing
would appear quite unlike-one orna
mented and the other plain. At this the
maker expressed his surprise that ]
should be ignorant of German custom
and prejudice; for said he, in Ger
many, single bedsteads are only placed
sideways against a wall or partition, and
only removed from this position, and
placed with the head against the wall to
receive dead body And the worthy
maker assured me that nowhere in Ger
many could native be induced to sleep
on single bedstead which had not its
side placed against wall or a partition.
The same objection does not hold against
placing two single bedsteads side by side,
with their heads against a wall" An
other instance of the inherent supersti-
ton of humanity

The Truth about that I'iffs6urD
OfrOuO."

The truth is, there is some fire in an
old coal pit on the Heron estate, in the
Thirteenth Ward, on Thirty-Third street,
between Ridge and Bedford avenues, but
it doesn't blaze, it doesn't. roar, and it
doesn't spread fearfully ivst. 1t doesn't
affect half an. acre, much fess five hun
dred acres The csal has been worked"
out, but fire was communicated to the
portions left in As supports, which are
gradually smouldering-so gradually as
to scarcely make smoke enough to attract
attention. The City Engineer, Mr..
Dempster, and several membcrs of the
Council, visited the place on Thursday,
and were not excited over the fire enough
to order its being quenched at the city's
expense. 1t is the opinion Of the En-
gineer that the property holders ought
to attend to it while the property holders
are not in the least concerned. Such
fires have "raged" hereabouts for the
past thirty years, and no part OF the city
has been swallowed up by the volcano.

A most remarkable instance Of sup
posed corpse having been found to pos
sc~ signs Of animation, and really being
restored TO life after lying en- the ice for
three days, has just transpired at Yonk-
ers, Westchcster county, II appears
that a sevcn.ycar old child Of a machinist
named Miller, livingon Riverdale avenue,
in the city above mentioned, having been
in delicate health almost from the time
Of its birth, was attacked by an unusually
severe fl Of illness last Thursday morn
ing. A physician was called in, and he,
after apparently satisfying himself as TO
the course OF treatment TO be adopted,
prescribed for the little one, and on leav-
ing intimated that he would call again
in the afternoon. II !. understood that
the medicine prescribed was a powerful
opiate but, whether this was the case or
not, IL is asserted that when the medical
man called in the afternoon a glance at
his late patient induced him to pro-
nosnce the child dead. The services Of
an undertaken were, of course, at once
procured, and by him the supposed
corpse yas tenderly prepared for the
last rites and then placed in an ice coffin
until the usual time for intcrment should
have elapsed.
A wake was accordingly held, and
mourning relatives and friends " sat up"
with the body day and night until sun
day afternoon, the time announced for
the funeral. Friends Of the family had
gathered in considerable number to as
sist in paying their tribute of respect to
the sorrowing parents, and almost every
thing being in readiness for the CON.
initial of " dust to dust" the undertaken
and his assistants, on transferring the
body from the ice coffin to the casket in
which it was to he Inferred, were struck
with astonishment at the peculiar APP
pearance of the remains. twas noticed
that there was marked absence of
rigor D,oriis, or that stiffness which is an
inseparable concomitant of departed
life. This recovery produced an indie
scribly painful state of anxiety to the
parents, while the half frightened
guests crowded around the ambiguous
corpse, suggesting various means of test
ing whether the child was really alive or
dead. Three or four physicians were
sent for, and they at once commenced a
thorough search for any lingering evil
dence of vitality that might remain in
the subject, resorting, among other
means, to that of tying cord tightly on
the fingers, whereby it was seen that the
nails changed color, plainly indicating
that the heart had not ceased to perform
its all-important functions. When it
became apparent that there was life in
the child, the most approved manner Of
administering restoratives was resorted
to, and accordingly a more palable de-
gree of vitality was produced, although
it is doubtful if the little one who was so
providentially rescued from a living
tomb, can long survive the prostracted
freezing ordeal through which it has
passed. The child was still alive last
evening.-Ncc York Herald.

a Legend ~ WUSsUm Jcmn
Someof us down on the Delaware are
preparing TO celebrate the anniversary Of
William Penn and the signing Of the treaty
with the Indians. That treaty deserves
to he celebrated, for under II William
gouged over three million acres Of land
out Of the avagcs In exchange for
couple Of hundred dollars worth Of
hatchets, plug tobacco aud tcnpcnny
nails. That was the beginning Of our
present Indian policy. We carry on the
same noble system yet. ! have been
furnishing up my antiquarian studies
for the anniversary, and, among other
things, have resurrected legend Of
William Penn, which may be valuable.
Never mind where dug II up. Here II
is:
Soon after landing Penn is said to have
inspired tender passion in the breast of
a beautiful Indian maiden, and for some
time It was considered probable that
they might be joined together in matri-
mony; but this was not to be, and the
reason why IL was not to be is explained
in the following conversation, which oc-
CURED between the lovers one evening
while they were sitting upon the bank of
the river. Tho maiden said TO him.
dearest | long to have you become
as one of our people, aud want you
now to let me adorn you with earrings,
and to fasten this ring to your nose, 50
that you may appear as noble as the other
braves"
Excuse me, darling" he said "but
I daren't wear jcwelry. The yearly
mcctin' won't allow it,"
"But you will come TO our council
fire tonight, dear, will you not, and join
with the chief and warriors in dancing
about our captives, who will he tied to
the stake? know YOU will come"
"Well, if il makes no difference to you,
I believe | won't. don't dance; its
against our discipline"
All, then, | will tell you what you
shall do. You shall sit by the great
tree and beat the war drum, and make
the fierce music of battle. You can
surely do that's"
upon the whole, really don't think
lean. You see, I'm down on the fierce
battle. I'm opposed to music OF any
kind, and particularly to that which is
hammered out of war drum. No. I'll
have TO beg off,"
"But, at least, you will go with me to
the lodge of the medicine man, and see
him perform his wonderful feats Of mx.
ic?"
"Tm afraid I'll have to contradict
you again, my love. Our folks have tes-
tilted against going to places Of amuse-
ment. I'd be disciplined, sure as fate,
if was to do it. Can't do it, sweet, any
how you fix it."
"Too bad too bad But you will
not object, | know, to letting me toy
with your tresses, and fix them into such
crest as our braves wear proudly upon
their heads. This you can not refuse
me-"
Now, see here, my dear, do be reas-
enable. You know that | can't let you
do that. You certainly must know that
| hain't allowed to take of my bat. Why
it's absurd"

you if know that you love me. You
