NUMBER is.

advent of death are so clearly defined,
and certainty is so easily had, that pre-
mature burial can be possible only from
ordinary tests of the breathing may fail,
but the action of the heart can be de-
tected by the ear, even when the most
delicate hand fails to discover it by the
sense of feeling. In newborn infants it
is difficult to detect the motion for some
minutes together, but in case of others
the interval between pulsations OF the
heart does not exceed six or eight sec
onds. And if this examination is made
twenty-four hours after death is suppos-
ed to have taken place, the fact is made
certain one way or the other. There are
other tests which may be readily appli-
ed, but they are not needed in the case
of persons dying under ordinary circum-
stances. The customs of civilization,
the indications of natural affection, and
the most rational Judgment, require such
an interval of time between death and
burial as make the case palpable to the
senses, so that no possible doubt can ex-
ist. 1t is not likely that one case of doubt
occurs in each million of persons buried,
and the one case of doubt would prove
to be certain death in nine cases out
of ten. From all which | infer that the
nervous apprehension some people have
that they will be buried alive, is just as
unreasonable as it would be for man to
expect to be taken up to heaven in
| chariot of fire. Such an event has oc-
Cured, and it is not impossible that it
may occur again. But it is not proba-
ble.-Dr. Prime, IN New York Observer.

A Cats Fatal Bite.

A vicious cat appeared at the house of
Mr.. James Wilson, carpenter, who re-
sides in Forty fourth Street, near Tenth
Avenue, about the 1st of last February.
How the animal came no one knew nor
could tell. 1t seemed to be well satisfied
with it's new quarters, and did effective
work in extinguishing the vcrmin which
had infested the honse for long time
without molestation. At the time of its
appearance it did not act in vicious
manner, and was considered quite a pet
and playmate with the children in the
neighborhood. On the near approach
of warm weather it appeared to act
strangely, and often had fits of curious
nature, cutting up all sorts of capers,
such as jumping about the room, leap
ing upon chairs and mantles, jumping
out of the window and running all over
the house, and biting every one who
went near it. On Decoration Day Mr..
Wilson concluded to dispose of his
I" grimalkin,' and taking him under his
coat, went to the foot of Forty-fourth
Street with the purpose of drowning it..
As he was tying a brick around the cats
neck, it was taken with fit, and in that
state bit him severely on the hand be-
fore he could disengage himself from it..
He did not think any thing of it at the
time, but the next day his hand began
to swell, and he was taken very i'll, and
was attacked with the most excruciating
agony. His fate seems to be similar to
young Ritchie, who died few months
ago in Bellevue Hospital from cat bite.
Last evening his condition was very
serious.-Ne3c York Mercury.

The Gypsies Moving On.

Edward King writes to the Boston
Journal of the CONSERVATION which has
arisen among the inhabitants of Rou-
mania at the expectation that the Turks
will cross the Danube and commit the
same outrages that blackened their arms
in Servia last year. People are fleeing
in all directions away from the banks of
the river. They are not content with
short distance, but feel safe only when
they have crossed the frontier. Thou
sands of them are now pouring into
Austria. The poor, he says, may be
seen tramping along the muddy roads
a whole family together, sometimes
perched in a shabby cart drawn byiai
melancholy horse, and sometimes beg
ging passage for few miles of some
slowly moving wagon train. The gyp-
sizes, of whom there are as many as 2OO,-
600 in Roumania, are moving also. Some
of these gypsy trains are exceedingly
comical. The women, with their matted
black hair, their dark, yellow faces, their
queenly stride, and their scant and tat
tered garments, marching ahead and
singing shrill songs in their own jargon,
which even Roumanian natives can not
unuerstdnu, dfe sIranSe inquiries. Il He
father of the family follows next, and is
usually dirty, offensive-looking rascal,
often bareheaded, but sometimes capped
with the Wallachian head-gear; his torn
girdle is supplied with a knife, and some
times with a long pistol; he wears the
opauke or cowhide sandal, bound on the
foot with innumerable thongs, which is
so universally used in Turkey-in-Europe;
for the rest he is bundle of rags Be-
hind the father the children follow, rid
ing in a cart drawn by donkey, an old
horse, or a large dog whose temper has
been soured and whose hair has all been
rubbed off by continual hardship and
exposure. The gypGes hate the Turks,
and it will not be an easy task to get
them out of Austria.

sWOuld 1 Were A -"

There was a business man standing in
front of Wooster House, picking his
teeth, the other morning. He was do
ing this in mechanical way, las his mind
was employed busily upon a weighty
matter. While he stood there a boy
approached with bundle of books
under his arm. He was going to school,
but he wanted to go elsewhere. He
saw the business man standing in the
shade and leisurely picking his teeth,
and then he thought of the hot school
room with its tasks; and of the cool
woods and fishing brooks, and groaned
within himself as he said: 81 wish I
was man so could do as l pleased"
The man still stood there. He had a
note of four hundred dollars to pay be-
fore the bank closed, and he had goods
to order from firm whom he already
owed, and he had twenty-five dollars in
his pocket and no earthly possibility
of collecting a hundred more. Then
his eye fell upon the boy going to school,
and he sighed and said: "Would to
heaven | was boy again at school. y

Hard to Believe.

At the last session of the Sazerac Ly-
ing Club, modest, unassuming mem
ber closed the tournament with one about
grasshoppers. His remarks, las reported
in the ReUeille, were: "What | am
about to relate amt no lie; its true and
actual, positive fact. Once when / was
in Salt Lake, during one of the grass
hopper years, they had Drilled chicken
marked on the bill of fare at the restau-
rant boarded at. I'm sorter partial
to yaller-legs, and told the waiter to
bring me half Drilled chicken, which
he did as soon as the cook had fixed it
up in shape. I proceeded to eat the
bird, but noticed kind of peculiar taste
to it; so questioned the waiter about
it; and, gentlemen, what do you sup
pose had been eating?" Grasshop-
pers!' cried the entire club in chorus.
s'Not much; it was chicken. You see it
was so long since | had eaten chicken
that it tasted kinder peculiar to me-

tlon, and placing him under tree fast
ened the rope about his neck and threw
the other over branch. Where's the
rest OF the money!" they asked. "What
money!" inquired Nelson, but he had
not time to ask further, when he was
lerked up and felt choking sensation,
then swimming in the head which re-
iiapsed into dreamy Inconsistencies
ne was hung for the first time. Recov-
erlng, he found himself lying on the
ground with symptoms of sore throat.
AS soon as he opened his eyes the ruff
ans collared him and lifted him to his
feet, again placing him under the rope.
That was the worst of it, said Mel
son. "The hanging itself didn't hurt
did,
-" What do you mean by that?n was
"Why the lifting me. up after I'd been
hung" he replied. ''Lord, but was
sick. Didyou ever, when in swimming,
stay under water too long and come up
nauseated and deadly sick? Well, that's
the way | felt, only a site worse"
How long were you suspended"
we asked.
C 1t seemed mighty long time to me,
but it couldn't have been many seconds,
| suppose. They only hung me about
three inches above the ground.n
The robbers seemed well satisfied with
their experiment, and volunteered the
| belief that the G. reb" would tell all
this time. They wanted to know where
he put the rest of the money, and where
they could find other horses and valua-
bles for Uncle Sans army, but as Mel
son gave them no satisfaction the hang
ing was repeated, with the same un-
pleasant symptoms.
| This, together with Nelson's igno-
rance of the condition Of his neighbors'
stables, failed to extort the desired in
formation, and he was hung third
time.
6 [ was getting tired of it and didn't
propose to stand it any longer, so
commenced to abuse them,' SAID Mr..
Nelson, and if his account is true he did
most woefully "cuss' them. They knew
he had more than $500 with him, but
supposed he had it hid in the neighbor-
hood, and searched no further than the
pockets. 1t seems the fellows had fol-
lowed him from boat whereon he had
taken passage and saw him receive the
money from the clerk. One of them be-
came enraged, and, placing a revolver
against his breast, said, 'I'm going to
kill you dead"
"That was preferable to a renewal of
the hanging, and 1 defied him to put his
threat in execution. l thought my last
hour on earth was over, sure, as he
stepped back about II feet and leveled
the weapon at me. He would have
fired, but one of his companions stepped
in front of me and said: mo, sir, you
don't; this fellows been hung three
times, and if he don't confess now he
never will, and you amt goin' to shoot
him. Sure enough, they spared me,
and all went over to a shanty, where we
slept all night-one on each side of me.
1 was exhausted, so | slept well, and
when awoke they were all gone.n
4 Mr.. Nelson does not believe they were
Federals, as they called themselves, but
were highway robbers who knew the
surrounding country and its people, as
they called him by his Christian name
For several weeks after, horses and cat
tie were missed, but the robbers could
not be identified. No other victims
were subjected to the hanging torture
