A Waiting Gentleman.

A GENTLEMAN of our acquaintance
aged about fifty, took the cars for a long
ride. He secured good seat in not
crowded car, and put therein his bag
and various other conveniences. After
some hours he left his seat for refresh
ments, leaving ample evidence therein
of its occupancy. On returning to. the
train he found highly finished woman
sitting in his place, and in the midst OF
what Western people would call his
plunder He paused at the entrance and
looked wistfully at the woman.
do you wish anything, sir?"
Yes, madam, my carpet-bag, if you
please. Thank you"
He still waited and looked.
"Is there anything else, sir?"

please Ah-thank your

the lady grew restless.
Is there anything more?"
Eyes, madam, si!l take my cane
and the papers which fear you are sit

These were hastily offered, and, as thu
gentleman still stood respectfully at the
entrance, she turned upon him will
some emphasis:
"Well, sir, what else are you waiting
for?"
Madam, I was waiting to hear yo'
say Thank you for the seat? ?"-Bsecher

How Cremation Is Done in Kansas.

MUscoTAH is in fever of excitement
over case of actual cremation that has
occurred in that vicinity. One Mr.
Baldwin went to the timber south Of the
town to chop wood. A peculiar odor
arising from pile of burning logs
prompted him to make investigation
He found, on going to the place, human
body on the pile in IA state of cremation.
Filled with horror he ran to town and
related what he had seen. In company
with Drs. Badger and Riggs your CORE
spondent repaired to the place, about
one fourth of mile southwest of the
town. Arriving there we found the re-
mains of what had once been human
being. Pulling it off the pile DR.. Riggs
succeeded in ascertaining that the re-
mains were those of a woman. He only
succeeded in obtaining part of the skull
ana the larger Dones or the arms. me
body from the shoulders to the hips was
still wrapped in blanket, but the flesh
dropped from the body when removed.
Wishing to ascertain more facts in re-
gard to the case we repaired to the
house of Capt Hamilton, an Indian
chief living about eighty rods from the
scene. He was interviewed by DR..
Badger, your reporter taking the ques-
tions as they were asked and answered:
Dr. Badger-What, lying on bed; are
you sick, Cap?
Capt Hamilton-No; was up all night,
and am tired.
Dr.-What was you up Tor?
Cap.-Girl died last night.
Dr.-What did you do with her?
Cap.-Took her down yondcr and
burned her on pile of logs.
Dr.-Set fire, maybe?
Cap.-Maybe.
Dr.--How many months sick?
Cap.-Seven.
Dr.-What time did she die9
Cap-Eleven o'clock last night
Dr-Who was here-anybody besides
your own family?
Cap.-Yes.
Dr-Did she have any pain?
Cap.-Choke, choke!
Dr-How many children did you have?
Cap.-Seven.
Dr.-All dead?
Cap.-No; five.
Dr--It is not usual for people to burn
their dead in this country, and we
thought we would come and see about it..
Cap.-Humphl
Dr.-Why did you burn her?
Cap-Maybe Harriet was bad girl
She went to school and learned; when she
died she come back and poison us, cut
out our tongues. Maybe if burn her she
no come back.
Here the interrogation ended, and we
took our way back to town, realizing
that this chief, Pea-at-a-quak, had been
the first in this section to carry out the
w-talked-up scheme of cremation

A Terrible Case Of Lunacy.

A REMARKABLE case of lunacy has just
been made known in Green Village n.
j.. by the death of Charles Crowell at the
age of seventy, who had been raving
maniac for over forty-five years. ne was
kent chained to the floor of his home, and
wonld never allow clothing to be put on
him He was confined in a small apart
ment made for his use. No furniture
was in the room, the only thing in 1T be-
ing straw. His mother took care OF him
for the first fifteen years, and during that
time he tore to pieces over 100 bedquilts
which she had made for him. AT times he
would be perfectly harmless, and would
allow his mother and sister to stay in his
room and feed him. But for months he
would pace his small room and no one
dared venture near him. In his room
was very small window through which
food and water were given him. Some
times he would not eat for week; at
other times enough food could not be
given him to satisfy his voracity. His
mother died from the great burden, and
his sister took charge Of him. She, too,
died after some years from the constant
care and anxiety with which she watched
him. The most remarkable fact in con-
nection with the case was that just before
he died his mind was clear and he called
an attendant by name. e.-N. r. Tribune.

MY SUNSHINE.

BY 9. P. DRIVER.
LIKE cluster of sunbeams her hair is,
Ar blue as the sky-tints her eye.
And think OF the Queen of the Fairies
Whenever she passes me by;
And. If we had fays
Fitting round nowadays,
should fear she might fly far away
Some day.
Sometimes l am puzzled. with wonder,
To know why the wings were left out,
But I'm pleased that they made such
blunder.
When the little one first came about;
For if she had wings,
And soft feathers and things,
should know she would fly far away
Some day.
l suspect, after all, she's but human
Yet an angel couldn't love more.
She's sunshiny, sweet little woman,
And her heart is q wide-open door.
oh, may never sin,
Through that door, enter in!
For know she will fly far away
Some day.

Partisan Eccentricities.

A CORRESPONDENT at Paris tells the fol
lowing amusing story: A very unfortu-
nate young man was pointed out to me
yesterday. He had lived in the country
till he was twenty-five years OF age,
when he became his own master, inherited
large fortune, and resolved to go and
live in Paris. He was, however, de-
termined not to vegetate in the capital,
but to become the talk of the town from
the very first, and to signalize himself by
some eccentricity or other. That was
an ambition easily satisfied, since for the
last few months it has sufficed for q
gentleman to drive out daily in sledge
in order to become the hero of Paris for
whole week. Our young gentleman hit
upon another idea almost as ingenious.
He possessed very white Newfound-
land dog, and a black cat quite as hand
some as the dog. This couple led cat
and dog life in every sense Of the term.
The young gentleman resolved to make
peace between the two enemies, and to
become famous by their means. After a
few months his efforts were crowned
with success; the cat would mount on
the dogs back, and the couple would
thus follow their master, at first when he
walked, and in course of time when he
rode. In the small village where our
hero resided his success was prodigious.
He was the talk even Of the whole de-
partment. When he felt sure of his two
animals the young man started for Paris,
taking along with him his horse, his dog,
and his cat. The day after his arrival in
town, at four in the afternoon on one of
the recent fine days, he mounted his
horse and made the cat mount the dog,
and all four started in the direction of
the Arc de Triomphe From the Place
de la Concorde up to the Round Point of
the Champs Elysees their march was one
Of triumph. The young man, overjoyed
at his success, proud of his idea, gravely
continued his victorious march, for in
such cases coolness is half the battle.
Alas! the finest dreams are the first to be
dissipated. The Round Point became
the Tarpeian Rock of the cavalier who
was mounting to the Capitol. Just as he
was passing in front of the Italian EN-
bassador's scavenger, jealous of his ris-
ing fame, spouted the water With which
he was laying the dust against the dog
and cat. At this unexpected attack dog
and cat set up dismal howl, and, for.
getting their role, scampered off in fright,
one right the other left, before their mas
ter and teacher had time to calm their
terror. The crowd laughed loud and
long; the unfortunate young man never
more set eyes on either tho dog or the
cat, and returned home as obscure q
when be went out.

Two LIVES SAvED.-On Sunday after
noon. at 3 o'clock Messrs. Robert Reed
and q. T. Henry started in little sloop
from this city, with intention Of bring
ing cargo OF provisions to Reeds log
ging camp. When about one mile out
ip the bay the little craft upset; but the
men succeeded in getting on her bottom,
and from there they were rescued by
boats hurrying after them. The sloop
was leaking badly and had partly filled
with water, and when squnll struck
her broadside she was unnanageable;
hence the capsizing. Reed and Henry
were speedily taken back to town, after
which the sloop was towed in and right
ed. Our citizens are rendered the thanks
of those they saved for the promptness
and energy evinced on the occaslon.-
