RISING FROM THE DEAD. reports
of a startling occurrence, says the New

just come to light in Patterson, n. j.,
which are the topic of conversation
everywhere in that city. On Tuesday
a daughter of j. b. Demarest, a grocer,
of No. 81 Willis street, died, it was sup
posed, from heart disease. On Friday
the father left the coffin, by the side OF
which he had been kneeling, n
passed to an adjoining room, where
he threw himself on An arm chair n
weeping hid his face in his hands.
Suddenly he heard the patter OF a IA
miiiar football. and looking mp he saw,
to his great surprise, the door OF h
adjoining room softly opened and his
child dressed in her shroud entering.
She to,tered across the floor to where
he sat, and throwing herself upon his
knee, twined her arms about his neck.
Then she nestled down in his arms.
and fell slowly back ward. He lifted
her up. but the vital spark had flown.
The first semblance of her death had
been a trance. The little dead body
was inferred on that day.

THE GREAT MUSICAL FESTIVAL
Says the San Francisco Stock Exchange:
What next? The latest novelty pro-
jected in connection with the great
musical festival is to have the anvils
in the anvil chorus beaten by must
cal blacksmiths, in the costume of
strikers. They have been selected
from the different societies, and are
now practicing for musical effect.
This with the guns which are to be
discharged by electricity, will make
this chorus an attractive feature in the
programme.

MOVEMENT FOR GRANT.

A prominent Eastern exchange gives
the following as the programme OF GER
tain politicians: "Well known politi-
clans" are laying the ropes to give
General Grant a reception upon his
rsturp to America in the latter part OF
the year. As this move is designed to
put the ex President on the track for
the coveted third term, it is fair to pre-
sumo that such well-known politi-
ciansn as Blaine, Conkiing and Hart
ranft are not among its engineers. II
will be strongly backed by all the reve-
nue. robbers and corruptionists who
.fiourished and grew fat during the
eight years which have passed into
history under the name and style OF
"the era of Grantism." and by many
honester persons. who have been dis
gusted by the appearance of weakness
in the present Administration, and
who believe that there is no name but
that of Grant which can reunite the
shattered and demoralized Repubii-
can party, and lead it to victory in
1880. It is in fact q matter for
wonder that in all the great party
which has controlled the Govern
ment for eighteen years there is not
to be found a single man possessing
the confidence of its members to a
degree that seems to warrant a posi-
tive belief that he would prove a
successful leader. Four Presidential
terms have sufficed to demonstrate
the helpless weakness and utter lack
of craftsmanship of most of the party
leaders, and to stain nearly every
one of those of stronger mold with
indelible marks OF corruption. So
we'll satisfied of this are many of the
managers of the party machine, that
in sheer desperation they contemplate
q denomination OF Grant. They trust
that the prestige of his military sue
cesses Is still strong enough 10 carry
him through, in spite of the histori-
cal fact that he gave the country
eight years of administrative corrup-
ton SO gross that, upon his retire.
ment from office, there was a general
conviction that the whole official sys-
tenn of the country needed to be de-
odorized and disinfected.

NINE. RACHEL, of enameling fame,
whose impositions upon the rich and
and a~ristocratic members of her own
sex some years ago in London formed
the fashionable sensations of the time,
has recently been sentenced to penal
servitude in England. The numerous
of the worthlessness and
dangerous character of her nostrums
did not prevent her from finding dupes
who believed in her representations
that she possessed al effective remedy
against the ravages of time. This is
probably the last appearance of this
notorious woman.

Seeing a clump of men gathered on
3 street, yesterday, we inquired the
occasion, and were told that a miner
had been killed. 1t vas true. Three
hours before he was a strong man; il
those three hours the great mystery
had been unfolded to him, and the
powerful frame was already composed
in it's coffin. And as we looked upon
the fixed face. and heard his brother
miners tell in tender. hushed voices of
big jim" who was dead, we could but
ask the question. Does it pay?" Had
an angel come to the earth twenty
wears ago and told mankind of the
existence of the ComStock, but at the
same time told what its history would
be, would men have craved to know
its whereabouts? Had the angel said
there are many hundreds of millions
of dollars which can be had for ,he
digging .butthere are penalties attached.
AT the naming of the penalties would
men have accepted the gift What
are the penalties which would have
been named What a picture thu
angel would have sketched ? eco take
the cas- he would have said;
'but to listen to the terms. Once 4
week, for twenty Yeas, you Will bring
from the depths the broken body of

children will grow up where they Will

shade OF a great tree. Your eyes will
look out in the morning upon the des-
ert, and only the desert will be reflected
back as the day wanes. Your natures
Will change al length. You will grow
