DEAD MEN.

We verify believe that if men
really knew what trouble they
would entail upon innocent people
and communities after their death,
in many instances they would So
arrange their affairs here before
leaving for the next world that
there would be less Wrangling and
veXatiOnS over their dead bodies.
How often is the case that brothers
and sisters go to law over the will
Of a deceased parent. and in many
eases the entire property left for
the benefit of heirs is consumed
and swallowed up by lawyers and
court fees.
These will cases are not the only
ones that cause trouble, either. One
day last week the body of IL young
man who had evidently been
drowned while bathing was tished
from the East river at New York,
and in a short time it was identified
by Michael Stapleton as that of his
brother John.
The remains were removed to his
fathers residence, preparations for
the funeral were completed and a
vigorous "wake" was ~inaugurated.
In the midst of the melancholy
festivities incident to the latter
ceremony, Julius WEIGH came upon
the scene with apretty well anthem
ticated claim for the body AS that Of
his brother who had also been
drowned in East river at a time
and place almost identical with the
drowning of young Stapleton. A
crowd, no vever, which had gath.
cred to participate in the wake, re.
sisted his pretensions with such
earnestness that blows must neces-
sarily have resulted had not the
undertaken, whose fees were in
jeopardy, forbidden the removal of
the remains by either party. Both
claimants made afidavits of their
points OF identity, which in both
cases corresponded to the body in
dispute. In the meanwhile, how
ever, the East river produced far
ther testimony, which "a decisive
and satisfactory, in the shape of an
other body, recognized at once as
that of young Stapleton beyond the
shadow of a doubt. Here all dis
sensions and p%retensions might have
but the Staplctons brought
n a bill of expenses for waking"
he body two nights, and insisted
lpon its payment. This was finally
compromised, and each party was
made happy in the possession OF its
'wn corpse, the merry Irishmen
.xulting over the fact that WEIGH
vas the first German who had ever
.njoyed the benefits of a real Irish
wake.

The presidential election was a
small affair compared to this cleo

no liquor was to be given or sold,
