For some years past have taken great
pains to ascertain the truth in regard to
the pu blished statements of persons be-
ing buried alive, under the supposition
that they were dead. In every instance
the story has proved to be false.
Yet there is not year without the hor-
rible narrative of somebody somewhere
being consigned to the tomb, and, for
some cause or other, the grave or vault
being opened, the discovery was made that
the buried individual had "come to-"
and had perished miserably in frantic ef-
forts to obtain deliverance. It has been
my habit, on seeing in the newspapers ono
of these statements, to send letter of in
quiry to the minister or some other resi-.
dent of the region, requesting the precise
facts in the case. Inoaria6lv the story
proves to be fabrication, or growth out
of something that had nothing terrible in
it. One person heard somebody say that
she had heard of man who told another
that he believed that . man had been
buried before he was dead. And then it
gets into the papers, and into the tradi.
tons of the neighborhood, and then into
the books, and SO it becomes part of the
graveyard literature Of the world.
The latest instance to which / have At
tended is that of DR.. Green, of Hoosic
Falls, N. Y. Some few years ago he lay
two or three days in q trance. A few
weeks ago he died. At the proper time
he was laid in vault. When IL came to
be talked about that he was once in I
trance state, there was some anxiety a. to
his condition, and the vault was visited,
only to find the most obvious evidence
the same that Lazarus gave-that he had
been dead all the time he lay there. But
this was enough to start the story, and the
telegraph-not from Hoosic, N. Y, but
from Bssninoton, Vt.-sent the startling
intelligence that signs Of life were dis.
covered, the body was taken home, and

The Famine In China.

SIMULTANEOUSLY with the dearth which
Is causing SO much anxiety in India, a
famine is raging in the nerth of China /;
but while the care and energy of the In
dian Government reduce the distress in
the former case to minimum, people are
dying by thousands in China of sheer star
walton. The scenes of the chief distress
are in the north and east, In the extreme
north of Kiangsu, in Shantung, in Pech-
Iii and in Shansc; and from Shantung es-
pecially the accounts which reach us are
heartrending.
The whole tract of country in question
suffered last summer from severe drought,
which nearly destroyed the crops; and
the peasantry, having eaten what little
grain they had in store, Or were able to
gather, are reduced now to the last stage
of want. The picture drawn by Protes-
tant missionaries in Shantung, and who
are distributing the aims literally con.
tributed by the foreign communities In
China, is terrible. Mr.. Richard writes
Having finished their corn, the peo-
pie are now eating grain husks, potato
stalks and elm bark, buckwheat stalks,
turnip leaves and grass seeds, which they
gather in the fields. When these are ex-
hansted they pull down their houses and
sell the timber, and it is reported every
where that many eat the rotten sorghum
stalks from the roof and the dried leaves
which they usually burn for fuel. OF
their eating fuel leaves there is NO doubt
thousands eat them, and thousands die
because they cannot get even that. They
sell their clothes and children. Having
NO clothing left to protect them from the
cold, many take refuge in pits built I'M
derground, to keep themselves warm by
the fetid breath Of the crowd. In the
east suburb of Chingchow City there are
four such pits. One-third of the number
(24y originally put in them are now dead
within six weeks, and NO sooner is q
corpse carried out than crowd are strug.
Cling for the place. Villages of 500 fam.
lilies report 800 deaths of starvation; vii
lagos of 800 report 100 persons dead"
Almost the whole Province of Shantung
is suffering; but the suffering of eigh
hien districts is said to be beyond descrip
ton; and as each contains an average Of
1000 villages, the thousands who have al
ready perished may be too readily con
ceived.-London 1'imes' Shanahai Core

bly, shod, he will 60 with ease and com.
fort Immediately after he has come from
the forge. 1t il only a excuse for bad
workmanship to say he will improve in
his action after his shoes are worn awhile.
Instead of requiring time to bring the
ho0f to the shape of the shoe, the shoe
should have been accurately adapted to
the shape of the foot at the first. In put
ting ON the shoe, the nails should be
driven with gentle hand, and they ought
not by any means to be clenched very
tight. Hard driving and tight clenching

ner as to injure the tender parts contained
within the cavity of the foot. Beside. it
Ia not necessary for man to forget he is
working with the foot of q living animal.
The shoe will remain on asufficient length
of time with gentle driving and clenchiDg,
provided it Is properly fitted 10 the foot.
II 1t has q thoroughly even bearing,
there will be little stress on the nails.
There is no worse fashion, in connec-
the enc which the smith has, of taking
on the one side or the other, after three
or four nails have been driven, for the
purpose of putting it straight on the foot.
This is speedy method of making up
for his total want of accuracy in placing
it at first; but it should never be suffered
to be practiced. 1t strains all the nails
which have already been driven, and is
thus calculated to do serious damage to
the foot.
The old shoes should be removed from
the feet with great care. after all the
clenches have been cut. If they are
dragged of in an awkward and careless
manner, without cutting the clenches, the
sole may be bruised and injured, or the
edges of the wall may be cleft and broken.
This part of the operation is seldom done
with the neatness and care which it re-
quires.
Shooting has been regarded by some as
necessary evil; still, we are certain it is
an evil in the horse or in the man only
when it is improperly performed. In
both cases it would be advantageous,
rather than the reverse, if the smith could
always be made sufficiently acquainted
with the theory of his profession, and had
hands, or rather head, for its due per-
formance.-Dr. Paaren, in Factory and
Farm.

FITZ-GREENE HALLECK.

The following poem, by John G.. White,
was read at the unwilling, q fey days ago. o
the statue of Etz-Greene Halleck, in Contra
Park, New York:
Among their craven shapes to whom
Thy civic wreaths belong,
o. city of his love, make room
For one whose gift was song;
Not his the soldiers sword to WELD,
Nor his the helm of state,
Nor glory Of the stricken field,
Nor triumph Of debate.
In common ways, with common men,
He served his race and time
A we'll as if his clsrkly pen
Had never danced to rhyme.
IL. in the thronged and noisy mart,
The MUSES. found their son,
Could any say his tuneful art
duty left undone?
He toiled and sang; and year by year
Men found their homes more sweet,
And through tenderer atmosphere
LtUked down the brick-walled street.
The Greeks wild onset Wall street knew,
The Red King walked Broadway,
aud Alnwick Castles roses blew
From Palisades t. Bay.
Fair City by the Sea! upraise
His veil with reverent hands;
And mingle with thy own the praise
And pride Of other lands.
Let Greece his fiery lyric breathe
Above her her,-urns;
And Scotland, with her holly. wreatho
The flower he culled for Burns.
O, stately stand thy palace walls,
Thy tall ships ride the seas;
To-day the poets name recalls
prouder thought than these.
Not less thy pulse of trade shall beat,
Nor less thy tall fleets swim,
That shaded square and dusty street
Are classic ground through him.
Alive, he loved. like all who sing,
The echoes Of his song;
Too late the tardy need we bring,
The praise delayed so long.
Too late. alas. Of all who knew
The living man. to-day.
Before his unveiled face. how few
Make bare their locks of gray!
Our lips of praise must soon be done,
Our grateful eyes I've dim:
o, brothers of the days to come,
Take tender charge Of him!
New hands the wires of song may sweep,
New voices challenge fame;
But let no moss of years o'er-creep
The lines Of Halleck's name.

Savings Banks Wrecks.

The New York Times gives list Of
eighteen local savings banks which have
gone into insolvency since 1871. These
eighteen banks had some 10000 de-
positors, whose aggregate deposits
amounted to nearly $9,OO0,00O. These
deposits, however. were not total loss.
The Guardian, which owed 1000 de-
positors $560,000, has paid 95 cents on
the dollar, and promises the other 5 per
cent. before long. The Bowling Green
failed for $450,OOO, and has paid 35 per
cent. The National failed for 800, 900,
and has since paid 100 per cent. The
Market failed for a round million, and
has paid 3S per cent. The Mechanics
and Traders owed depositors 1854, 900
when it closed its doors, and has since
paid IS per cent. The Security has paid
5712 per cent on a debt of $500, 900.
The Central Park went down under a
debt of $40, 1000, and has as yet declared
no dividend. The Peoples has paid 331 "a
per cent. on debt of $195,000; Mutual
Benefit, so per cent. on $450,0OO; Ger
man Up town, 80 per cent. on $3.50, 436 ;
Abingdon Square, Is per cent. on $751;
997; Bond Street, IS per cent. on 81, 1885,
$50; New Amsterdam, IS per cent. on
$4,000 The German, of Morrisania,
with debt of $230,O00 the Clinton,
with debt of $sS,OOO, and the Clair
mont, with debt of 100000, have as
yet declared no dividends, but the first
is expected to pay rs per cent, the sec
ond 25 per cent, and the third 60 per
cent. The Central Park and Abingdon
Square are not expected to do anything
for creditors. The failure of these in
situations is attributed mainly to two
causes-shrinkage in values, and frauds
on the part of managers. For the lat
ter, no one has been punished, though
indictments have been found in some
cases.

The RemOrse Of Murderers.

A young man named Morgan is report
ed to have died recently In Orange
county of remorse. He killed young
man with whom he had been drinking,
and WAS convicted of manslaughter. The
sentence of the court was very light
only four months in the Penitentiary.
But it seems his conscience imposed
severer penalty, and finally worried him
to death.
The effects of remorse have undoubt-
edly proved fatal in other cases than this;
and vet our observation has led US
to believe that it is not true as
a universal rule that persons convicted
of murder experience any feeling OF re-
morse whatever. However strange 1t
may seem, we are of the opinion that as q
general thing they are much more anxious
about their escape from the gallows than
from any other consequences of their
crime.
So it is with duellists, who are, in one
sense and strictly speaking, murderers
We well remember the case of William
Graves. He was a popular lawyer, who
was elected Representative In Congress
from Louisville, Kentucky. From having
been the bearer of a challenge for
friend he became involved himself In
duel with Jonathan Cilley, a Representa-
tive from Maine. They fought with
rifles, and at the second shot Cilley was
killed. Graves retired into private life,
and died a few years later. 1t was said
that he died of grief; but a friend who
conversed with him during his illness on
the subject of the duel, told us that Mr..
Graves said that he had never expert
enced the least feeling of remorse about
the matter for single moment
Those who die of remorse for such I'D
act are not very apt to commit the act
". y. Lesger.
