IncOmned Alive.

The Omaha papers tell horrible story
to the effect that corpse incased in
metallic coffin, which was being shipped
from California for interment at some
Eastern point, came to life while on the
road. The express messenger affirmed
that he heard sounds proceeding from
the coffin, and was laughed at by the
train men, but his convictions were SO
strong that. upon arriving at conven-
lent point, the case was opened, and there
were signs which convinced him that the
man, though dead then, had been alive
since being placed in the coffin. The
OmahaHerdid states that when the coffin
arrived at its destination and was opened,
unmistakable proofs of the terrible truth
were discovered. The hands were
clinched, the lips bitten, and the mouth
filed with bloody froth. The man had
been alive, and it was his moaning that
had been heard by the express messen.

A Boys Opinion of Parents.

Parents were born to be greet trouble
to their offspring. When 1 was ever SO
little remember tried to hang up the
kitten by my whip lash, and mother
took the kitten away, boxed my ears,
and went and drowned it herself next
day. So she had ali the fun herself.
And fathers worse than mother. He
told me to take care of the pennies and
the dollars would take care of them
selves, so 1 and Ben Smith formed an
anti-swearing club. We had rs cents in
the first day, but when we divided and l
fetched 373 cents home, father said it
was bad business, whipped me, and
broke up the clnb. How is fellow to
know when he is doing right9 If L had
no parents to hound me round I'd beat
George Washington all holler, for I'd
cut down every cherry tree In the gar
den, and own it, too. If l was an
orphan 1 know what I'd do.
Ben Smith and me would go to des-
olate South Sea island and stir up the
goats and monkeys and things, fry toad
stools, eat oranges spell, then we'd
make ship and sail around the world.
What's the use of drying up in one
place. l told mother one day, when she
wouldn't give me ten cents, that I meant
to go a whaling, and L hoped a whale
would swallow me as one did Jonah, and
then she wouldn't never see me again,
for can't swim. She said / wouldn't
be likely to make such a visit, for i
would turn the whales stomach mighty
quick after 1 got there. Wasn't she
bully? If were parent know what
I'd do-Td keep still and mind my own
business, and let my children have some
fun. There's Tom Cults lives with his
aunt, and has bully time. He goes
woodworking on Sundays, has no best
clothes, crawls under the canvass of
every circus tent, earns money at every
theater, sleeps in the stable when he
likes, and always has his pockets full of
peanuts. He says he wouldn't be
bothered with parents if he could have
'em for nothing, and he thinks if /
hadn't any it would be money in my
pocket. Them's my sentiments.-Et-
mira Gazette.

American Beef in England.

The butchers shops in Sheffield on
Friday presented most unusual scene.
On the previous day large consignments
of American beef arrived in the town
and were quickly disposed of to the re-
tail butchers. On Friday it was being
offered in the shops, and met with a
ready sale at prices ranging from A
pence to 8 pence per pound, the latter
price being charged for the primest
joints and cuts. At first the butchers
were disposed to have nothing to do
with the meat, but ON a large shop be-
ing opened for the sale Of it by firm
of grocers they wisely decided to sell 1t.
The effect OF the introduction OF Amer
lean meat in Sheffield has already been
greatly to reduce the price OF home pro
duce. English beef and mutton, even
the best joints, were being sold on FRI
day at 8 pence per pound. Sn Sa.u
day the sales were continued with I'M
abated vigor, and the chief importers
stock was cleared out before o'clock

The Watch Trade.

The crisis in the watch trade is the
main question occupying public atten-
ton in Switzerland, as 10000 persons
obtain living by Matchmaking. One
of the chief causes OF decadence is the
division of labor, which has almost
reached its limits, repeating watch
passing through 100 different hands be-
fore being delivered to commerce. AS
some of the branches are easily learned,
many unskilled persons sought work at
Matchmaking, which has led to deterior-
alton in workmanship and decrease in
wages. In 1864 there were imported
into America 10000 cheap Swiss
watches in 1872, 100000; in 1873,
204, 900. From that time forward, in
consequence of American home compe-
tition, the figures have fallen off to 1877, :
600 in 1874, and 134, 900 in 1875. The
Waltham Watch Manufacturing Com
pany now employs 300 hands, turning
out 425 watches daily. France also has
during the last few years become COM

A Young Man with Great Expectations.

Edward Bremen. residing in Newark,
N. j., is said to have fallen heir to a
fortune of $10,000,000 by the recent
death of his father in Tahiti, one of the
Society islands. Fourteen years ago
Edwards father left his young son in
charge of his brother, George Bremen,
who formerly kept hotel in Market
street. The latter owned some property,
which became valuable through a sud-
den rise in real estate, and made him
wealthy. He subsequently became re-
duced In circumstances again, and lately
his widow has been compelled to resort
to saloon-keeping, and cerried on bust
ness in Springfield avenue with the aid
of her nephew. Nothing was over heard
OF the yonng mans father until few
days ago, when paragraph cut from a
paper was received, stating that one j. G.
Bremen, who came to America many
years ago from Bayreuth, Germany, had
recently died in Tahiti, leaving fort
une of $40, 1000, 900, to which no heir
could be found. AS young Brenner's
fathers name was j. c., and he came
from Bayreuth, the former is confident
ly believed to be the heir.-NeV York

A New Way of Dealing with the Alec.

The Birmingham (England) Town
Council, by vote of 46 to 10, has re-
solved to adopt the Gothenburg expert
ment, and to obtain the requisite power
"to acquire, on payment of fair COM
pensation to be fixed by Parliament, all
existing interests in the retail sale of in
toxicating drinks in the city, and there
after, if it sees tit, to carry on the trade
for the convenience and on behalf of the
inhabitants, but So that no individual

Sweden, by keeping none but pure
liquors, and selling them at cost, fur
nishing food and non Intoxicating bever-
ages at the same time, and having all
the places under official management, it
is claimed that the evil effects of drunk

The New Kansas senator.

Colonel Preston B. Plumb, who was
yesterday elected United States Senator
from Kansas, was printer, who emf
grated from Xenia, o., in the spring of
1856, at the head of company of 800
Free.State men. He was then 20
years old, and the publisher of the Xenia
NeaOs. He was one of the "town COM
pany" that laid out Emporia, and start
ed the Emporia NeWs when there were
only four houses in town. During the
war he was Lieutenant Colonel of the
Eleventh Kansas, and, with company
of mounted men, marched thirty-fve
miles in the night and attacked QUAINT
rell as he was leaving Lawrence, but
could not keep up with HIM. He was
elected to the Kansas Legislature in
1866, and became the Speaker of the
House. He ran for United States SEN
ator two years ago, and was beaten by
two votes. He is lawyer, with the
largest practice of any one in Southern
Kansas. He was also the President of
the Emporia National Bank, and worth

DE attn from Fright.

A singular and fatal case of accidental
shooting occurred recently near Williams
town, Lewis county, Mo. A young man
named Samuel b. Cecil had returned
only few days before from four
years stay in California, and on the day
mentioned was deputized by the con-
stable at Williamstown to 60 out short
distance into the country and assist in
arresting two men. On the way out, it
became necessary to cut across field to
shorten the route, and Cecil dismounted
to let down the fence. While thus en-
gagged his pistol slipped out of his vest
pocket, and striking rail was dis
charged, the ball taking effect in the
fieshy part of his leg. Immediately on
being hit, Cecil called out: $50 for q
doctor; am shot through" and placing
his hands on his stomach, as if he
imagined he was hit in that region, he
fell on the ground and expired in about
ten minutes. The doctors declare that
the wound of itself could not have pro-
duced death, and infer that the nervous
shock was the real cause of the sad end

Mrs. Hammond soon got some more
medicine, which Bobby was forced to
take, then she went away and left him
all alone, after she had consoled him by
the remark:
"It's too bad, Bobby, that you're
sick, for we're going to have oysters for
dinner"
Now, if there was anything that Bob
by liked above all others it was oysters,
and he wondered, as he lay there look
ing hard at the ceiling, If his mother
meant that he couldn't eat any oysters.
And he wondered if no went down
stairs to dinner he would have to go to
school in the afternoon. He was little
afraid to try the experiment, 30 he kept
still. But while his body was 80 quiet
his mind seemed more active than ever.
1t wandered away down street and into
the school-hous he saw the arithmetic
class reciting the lesson which had in
duced him to stay at home. He saw
Mr.. Sparks, the teacher, peer over his
glasses and say, "Isn't Robert Ham,
mond present" ni
And he almost heard the boys say,
"No, SIR" He wondered if the fellows
knew he was sick; then his thoughts
went back to the old starting point; it
must be IL o'clock. He wondered if
they were cooking the oysters, and then
the old question came up again-could
he eat oysters or couldn't he2 After
that he said the multiplication table over
three times, and had just counted up to
343 when he forgot the counting, forgot
the oysters, for Bobby was fast asleep.
He was awakened by his mother bring
ing his dinner, which consisted of toast,
toast and only toast, but a good deal of
it, Bobby observed. He felt rather
ashamed to eat very much, so he left one
slice of toast on the plate; then he
thought half a slice would be enough,
and at last he gave way to his appetite,
and when Bridget came up there was
nothing left but the plate.
Mrs. Hammond was going out calling,
Bridget said.
Bobby's spirits went down degree or
two lower.
Slowly an hour dragged itself by; he
heard the clock strike two.
Hank What was that; was it the fire
bell2 Yes, it certainly was-ding dong,
ding dong!
Bobby was on his feet in minute
had his clothes on in another minute,
and before the minute hand had got
around to ten minutes past he had on his
fur cap, rubber boots and overcoat-was
out of the door and running down the
street as if the safety of the whole town
depended on his being present at that
fire.
1t didn't amount to Woodworking
but an old barn; but Bobby thought the
exercise did him good, he said, sheep
ishly, after he got home.
His mother thought it gave him good
appetite for his supper, at any rate

Uneasy Russia.

There is evidently conflict of no
trivial character in progress i'll the Rus
sian empire because of that inactivity
in the crisis of the late negotiations
which has somewhat surprised the
world at large. 1t is held on the one
hand that Russia has no longer any po-
litical function with regard to Bulgaria
and other provinces; that her obliga-
inces rested upon her before the con-
ference was assembled, but that by that
body she was relieved of that obligation;
that the case was taken off her hands by
Europe, and that now, therefore, Eu-
rope and not Russia is responsible if
the evils complained of are permitted to
continue. This is the view of the peace
party, which is very well satisfied to
have plausible ground on which to
rest its objections to war. 1t is
believed that the Emperor is in
full sympathy with this party. On
the other hand, it is held that
the relations of Russia to the Slavic
people are such that her obligations are
perpetual that Europe cannot come
between, and that the national glory
and pride are involved, and that only
the amplest concessions on the part of
Turkey or war can fill the occasion.
Between these two lines of thought the
nation is divided, and the collision of
opinions seems likely to become of
great importance. In countries where
there are no parties, properly speaking,
having constant existence, and where
they only appear in great crises that stir
the passions of a stolid people, they act
with power proportionate to the
brevity of their existence. This fact
has been exhibited several times in Rus
STA at the expense, not of the crown,
but of the wearer of the crown, and it is
not unlikely that another exhibition of
it is in preparation now, for the agita-
tion uses revolutionary language.

A Nice Dog Story.

Everything is degenerate nowadays
except the noble Newfoundland dog.
He is just as reliable now as he was
when white men first brought him from
his native land and discovered his won
derful life saving qualities. But he
does not confine himself to the rescuing
of human beings. The other day
Newfoundland dog and an English ter
rier, playing on the ice near Washington
village, Mass, fell into an air-hole, leav-
ing another Newfoundland on the ice.
Knowing that dog is more helpless
than a man in such predicament, q
gentleman went to help them, but be-
fore he reached them the second New
feundland had dragged the terrier out
by the collar, and after several unsuc-
cessful attempts upon the otner cog
cooxed him TO the other side OF the
open space, where an accumulation OF
snow made better footing, and then
90. him out.
