that Tilden and Reform is the watchword.
Thus it will be all over this broad land

A DRUNKARD'sD DEATH BIZ SPONTANEOUS
CoMBusTIoN.-An inhabitsnt at Fontenay-
sous Bots, one OF the most charming little
suburbs OF Taris, has recently departed this
Life under circumstances which merit the
attention OF everybody, but more particular
~ OF the scientific and medical world. The
man In question had been conf drunk
ard. and fmbibed. On an average, q quart
and half OF brandy per diem. Conscious OF
the degradation of his besettlng vice, he
kept aloof from his family, and at times
shut hfmselfup In his room for days together
In order TO pursue his devotion to Bacchus
unmolested by the reprOach or remonstrance
OF the infidel He hal frequently been forced
TO abandon the brandy bottle by the approach
OF dellrium tremens, but he was no sooner
cured by the doctors than he returned to his
favorite love. At length he was seized with
an irresistible desire, TO destroy himself,
which the medical sages call the nostalgia
OF alcohol. On Easter Sunday, he shut
himself up again: but, remaining secluded
longer than usual, The neighoors broke open
his door. An overpowerlng smell OF spirits
struck them on entering the room, where
the remains OF a charcoal IRE were found
and on looking on the bed, there lay the body
OF the man reduced to cindersl The doctors
say that spontaneous combustion must have
taken place shortly after the drunkard lay
down todie.
