Frozen to Death i'm the Water.

The Nashville Banner gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the terrible death
of two men
'tAbout dusk last evening, while two
men, whose names we were unable to as
certain, were seated in canoe, engaged
in catching the driftwood floating down
the Cumberland, not far above the wa
ter-works and close to the shore, the
canoe capsized, throwing them into the
cold depths of the river. The river was
not very deep at the point where the ac-
cident occurred, but, as they were una
BILE to swim, their condition was certain
ly very critical one. Their canoe
drifted away, leaving them standing in
the river, which was of course very cold,
rendering them doubly SO from the fact
that their clothes was saturated with
water. They raised their voices to the
highest pitch, and cried hastily for help,
but the seconds heightened into minutes,
and still none came.
Their cries were at last heard by q
gentleman riding near the bank of the
river, and, answering his inquiries, they
asked him for Gods sake to send canoe
out to them, or they wo1lld freeze to
death. He told them that he did not
know where he could find one, but
would endeavor to do SO, and rescue
them from their perilous situation.
"He galloped away on this mission of
Life and death, and at last, and after
long interval of time, as it seemed to be,
had passed, procured one and fastened
to their succor. As he approached the
spot from which he had spoken to them
he called to them, but received no re-
sponse. After wasting several minutes
in this manner without receiving any
answer, he went close to the bank, where
L
Leaning half way out of the water, with
their hands clutching in firm death
grasp some bushes, where the unfortun-
ate men frozen to death. Their bodies
were removed to suitable place to await
the time of their interment."

Sorry He Wasn't There.

I have referred in my book to that
Coroner of ours who seized an Egyptian
mummy that was brought into town,
summoned jury, held an inquest ON
the mummy, brought in a verdict of
" Death from causes unknown" and
charged the county with the usual fee,
with compound interest from the time of
Moses Well, that Coroner is still in
Office, and he is still enthusiastic about
his profession. Last Sunday night he
was at church. The minister preached
q very solemn sermon upon Noah's food,
and after it was over / met the Coroner
in the aisle and said to him
Very impressive discourse, Mr..
Wheeler, wasn't it s''
g Beautiful, sir beautiful, replied
Wheeler. s.And yet it seemed to be
kinder mournful, too
Indeed! Why, it didn't strike me
In that way. It was solemn, of course /;
but its tendency certainly should be to
fill the heart of every truly good man
with cheerfulness and hope.
ssOh, I know all that, .. said Wheeler,
but didn't he say that there were several
million people drowned in that food r.
6 I believe he did.
g Well, then, say that when / think
of all that mortality, and remember that
I wasn't Coroner then, and amt likely TO
be when there's another such frcshet,
it makes me sick. There amt nothing
cheerful about such reflections. I feels
If hadn't been treated right; 8 If I'd
been robbed Mar AdeEeT.

A Horrible Affair.

One of the strangest and most horrible
of sensational incidents took place the
other day at Puteaux. A party of chill
dren who were playing In the environs
discovered floating In the air and partly
entangled amid the branches of a tree,
a white parcel, upborne by means of
some twenty or thirty little red toy bal
looms, which were attached to it. The
attention of the police being called to
this singular object, it was brought down
and the package opened, which proved
to contain the corpse of newborn in
FAINT Investigation into the matter
brought to light the following facts
The child was that of poor toy-maker
and his wife just after the confinement
of the latter the husband had died sud-
denly, and all the household goods and
chattels had been seized for rent The
unhappy woman was driven mad by this
accumulation of misfortunes she killed
her infant, and then went out and threw
herself into the river, leaving behind her
q written paper, in which she declared
her intention of committing suicide, and
said that she chad gotten her baby all
ready to go up to heaven" A sadder
tale with stranger termination il would
be hard TO find. The toy balloons evil

husbands stock In trade.--PGris letter.

Reasoning Power of Animals.

Rev. j. G.. Wood has lately published
a work entitled Man and Beast Here
and Hereafter" in which he has ad-
vanced the theory that, by reason of their
intelligence and sagacity, the lower or
ders of animals may claim with man the
heritage of immortality. The hypothesis
is sustained by multitude of curious
facts concerning the habits of animals,
which tend to show that many dumb
creatures are capable of carrying on a
process OF thought, and possess an abso-
lutte power of reasoning. In treating of
the ability of insects to hold counsel and
communicate ideas with each other, Mr..
Wood adduces the following interesting
incident as evidence that the wasp is en-
dowed with thinking principles
A good example was witnessed by me
last summer. At breakfast-hm some
pieces of the white of an egg were left
on plate. A wasp came IN at the win
dow, and, after flying about for awhile,
alighted on the plate, went to the piece
of egg, and tried to carry it of Wish
ing to see what the insect would do, I
would not allow it TO be disturbed. At
ter several unavailing attempts to lift
the piece of egg, the wasp laid it down
and flew out of the window. Presently
two wasps came in, flew direct to the
the plate, picked up the piece of egg,
and, in some way or other, contT1ved to
get it out of the window. These were
evidently the first wasp, and compan7
ion whom it had fetched to help it.
/ had kind Of suspicion that, when
the wasps reached their home, they
would tell their companions of their
good fortune, and so / put some more
egg on the plate and waited. In very
short time wasp after wasp came in,
went to the plate without hesitation,
and carried off piece of egg. The
stream of wasps was SO regular that ]
was able to trace them to their nest,
which was In q lane about half mile
from my house.
The insect had evidently reasoned
with itself that, although the piece of
egg was too heavy for one wasp, it
might be carried by two so it went off
to ind companion, told it the state ef
things. and induced it to help it IN car
ryin9 off the coveted morsel. Then the
two had evidently told the other inhabis-
ants of the nest that there was supply
Of new and dainty food within reach,
and had acted as guides to the locality.
Here is positive proof that these insects
possess very definite language OF their
own, for it is impossible that human
beings could have acted IN more IA
fional manner.

nonncing mysterious g box trick, /" the
wonder of the nineteenth century. The
Professor esconced himself in wooden
box, the lid was closed and securely
locked, when In few seconds he reap
peared In the room, freed from his tenn
porary imprisonment. No one attended
the humbug, and consequently the inn
posters found themselves wanting in
coin when the Parthepius was about to
leave for San Francisco. The phiIo-
sophie Professor was In .distress, but re-
sorted to his profession to secure passage
ON the boat He entered his box. which
his companion fastened, and was thus
placed on board the boat as freight,
thinking to come on deck after the col
lection of tickets. In the meantime soma
wicked youth informed Capt 6towel Of
the ruse, who, seeing the box, asserted
that It had suspicious look, and ordered
his men TO throw it over board, or split
It open with an AK forwith- As the deck
hands were about TO cast ia into the sen
the professor sued for mercy, and was
admitted TO fresh air The hara was
