risen, the young man whom he had seen In

whether any one had called for him. Moritz

Coin i'm the Mails.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
found it very expensive to transmit coin
through the mails. Upon an examina-
ton OF the laws in regard to mailable
matter, he has come to the conclusion
that he might lawfully send it through
the mails as third class matter, and has
communicated his views to the Postmas-
ter General, who is somewhat reluctant
to assume the responsibility of this
character of service. He sees, however,
no way to avoid it, as the law expressly
provides that the officers of the Depart
ment charged with the duty are bound
to receive and mail such matter. The
Postofice Department does not appre-
bend that this example of the transmits

A Terrible Tragedy Under the Infiu.
ence OF the Eclipse.

In the dark path of the late eclipse
across Texas, 116 miles in width. there
were thousands of ignorant people, both
white and black, who had not heard that
anything peculiar was about to happen.
Many OF these people the eclipse sur
prised at work in their fields. Many
ludicrous scenes are reported. Especially
on the plantation of United States Sen
ator Coke. near Waco, was it that the
negroes went to praying, believing verify
that the day of Judgment had come. A
terrible tragedy in johnson county may
be set down to the eclipse. Ephraim
Miller, colored, with bis family of wife
and four children, lived near Buchanan,
in that county, whittier he had removed
from Tennessee six months ago. On the
morning of the eclipse he said he had
heard the world was coming to an end
that evening, and, if so, he intended to
be so sound asleep the trumpet of the
Angel Gabriel could not awaken him.
When the eclipse commenced and
darkness of totality came On, he ran
from the field to his house with Ratchet
in his hand. He was followed by a negro
woman, named Nancy Ellison, who also
thought the world was coming to an end.
AS she got to the house Miller's
wife rushed out under the same
delusion, and, looking up at the
beautiful corona of light around the
black moon, screamed, Come, sweet
chariot p at the same time rush
ing across a cotton field wringing her
hands. In the mean time, Miller, wish
ing to take his 1O-year-old boy with him
to the other side of Jordan, raised his
Ratchet and split his sons head open.
Leaving the latter weltering in his blood
and struggling in the last throes of
death, the father. on ladder, assembled
to the top of the house. Here, with
new razor, he cut his throat from ear to
ear, and fell to the ground a corpse.
His two little daughters escaped by hio-
ing under a bed. st. Louis Globe

+. A Big jump.

A number of young men were bath
ing in the Delaware at the old Navy
Yard wharf last evening, and amused
themselves and quite gathering of
spectators on the wharf by performing
different feats and by jumping from Ger
tain distances from the big shears locat-
ed upon the wharf. Finally young
fellow stepped forward and exclaimed !:
We'll, boys, I'll show you something
worth seeing" He then began to climb
up to the top, and then it became evi-
dent that he intended to leap into the
river. The spectators became Mortified.
The distance to the waters edge is 10
feet. Such leap seemed to imply in
slant death. A man was killed in New
Yerk recently by jumping less than half
that distance. Some of the spectators
called to the young man to come down.
He refused, and suddenly made a leap
out into the river. He went down feet
foremost, and came to the surface al
most Immediately. He spurted some
