nibal tree, that had been so inert and
dead, came to sudden savage life. The
delicate palpi, with the fury of starved
serpents, quivered q moment over her
head, then SIS if instinct with demOnisc
intelligence, fastened upon her in sud-
den coils round and round her neck and
arms, and while her awful screams, and
yet more awful laughter rose wildly to
be instantly strangled down again into
q gurgling moan, the tendrils, one after
another, like great green serpents, with
brutal energy and thermal rspidity,
rose, prOtvscted themselves, and
wrapped her about in fold after
fold, ever tightening with cruel
swittness and savage tenscity OF
anacOnd6s fastening upon their
prey. 1t was the barbsrity Of the
LAGOON without its beauty this
strange, horrible murder. And now the
great leaves rose slowly and stiffiy, like
the arms Of q derrick, erected them
selves in the air, approached one an
other and closed about the dead and
hsmpered victim with the silent force
| ola hydraulic press and the ruthless pur-
pose OF q thumb-screw. A moment
more, and while could see the basis Of
| these great levers pressing more tightly
toward each other from their interstices,
there trickled down the stalk of the tree
great streams OF viscid honey-like fluid,
mingled horribly with the blood and
ooziDg viscera Of the victim. At sight
of this the hordes around me, yelling
madly, bounded forward, crowded to the
tree, clasped it, and with cups, leaves,
hands and tongues, each one obtained
enough OF the liquid to send him mad
and frantic.

PetriGeG Human bodies I'm Maine.

Bangor Wing
A few days ago the graves of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kidder, of Eddington pond. were
opened for the purpose Of disinterriDg
and removing their remains to another
locality. Mrs. Kidder has been dead
for eighteen years, while the body of
the husband was committed to the
earth f)rty-three years ago. Owing to
the length Of time which has elapsed,
it was not anticipated that anything
more than dust, or a few bones at most,
would be found. Greatly to the sur
prise of those present, on opening the
grave of Mrs. Kidder, who was over
eighty years of age at the time of her
decease, her body was found as perfectly
preserved and the features as natural as
on the day of her burial. Her hair was
Of considerable length, but the last
yestige of her grave clothes had disap-
peared, leaving solid petrificstion, not
unlike marble, of grayish tint. Pro-
ceeding next to the grave of Mr.. Kid
der, by the side of the other, it was
found that, although nearly half a CEN
fury had passed since he was numbered
among the living, his body had also
turned to stone of deep, rich brown
color; but, more singular still, while all
the clothing had disappeared from the
body of his wife in eighteen years, his
body still retained portions Of the cloth
in which he was dressed for the last
time, fOrty-three years since. In dig
ging for this body no u ace Of the box or
coffin could be found, and the petrified
remains, Of which only the upper part
of the skull and portions Of the feet had
disappeared, lay in several inches Of
water. When fist reached the work
men supposed they had struck a stone of
some kind, and the weight Of the body
was so great that three men were re-
quired to lift it.

II YOU can imagine, says the South
Australian Register, a pine apple, eight
feet high and thick in proportion, rest
ing upon its base, and Genuded OF leaves,
YOU will have a good idea of the trunk
of the tree which, however, was not the
color of an anana, but was q dark, dingy
brown, and apparently as hard as iron.
From the apex OF this fusticated cone lat
least two feet in diameter) eight huge
leaves sheer to the ground, ike doOr5
swinging back on their hinges. These
leaves, which are Joined at the top OF the
trees at regular intervals, were about
eleven or twelve feet long, and shaped
very much like the leaves OF an Amer E
can agave or century plant. They are
two feet through in their thickest part
and three feet wide, tapering to sharp
point, that looked very much like a
cows horn, very convex on the outer
(but not under) surface, and on the IN.
der mot upper surface slightly concave.
This concave surface was thickly set
with strong horny hooks like those upon
the head or a teazle. These leaves, hang
ing thus limp and lifeless, dead green
in color, had in appearance the massive
strength of oak fiber. The apex OF the
cone was a round cOncave figure like
9 smaller plate set within larger one.
This was not flower, but a receptacle,
and there eXudes into it a clear, treacly,
LIQUID honey, sweet and possessed CT

Of long, hairy, green tendrils stretched
out in every direction toward the hOri-
ION. These were seven or eight feet
long, and tapered from four inches to
half an inch in diameter, yet they
stretched out stiffiy as iron rods. Above
these from between the upper and I'M

psppi reared themselves toward the sky,

incessant motion, yet constantly reach

quilts, apparently, they were yet five or

vigorously in motion, with subtle, 81

was mixing bread, and blurted out
Ma, who's Beecher?n
" Beecher? You should say Mr..

stepped to the door and crooked her
finger at her faithless husband, who

OF the Spiritists, and the favor which
Homesnd other pretenders Of his class
have found there. At bottom the cause
OF these things is to be sought in the
popular ignorance, in the yet strong
Oriental cast of mind Of the Russians,
and ia their seclusion from contact with
the progressive spirit Of the west. One
curious circumstance is developed in
connection with the Sksptsy. They are
very fond Of money, and make the best
