A Whlstllnu Corpse.

There are some things about corpses,
however, that need to be explained, and
of one Of these phenomena is the dead
mans whistle; for there are departed
gentlemen TINT can whistle.
A correspondent of the Syracuse
" Courier" relates an experience Of his
which bears upon this point. He and
his friend Nick were sitting up to watch
over the body of an old gentleman.
Nick lay down on sofa for the first
nap, and his companion paced up and
down the spacious library where the
body was laid out, occasionally stopping
TO change the ice cloths on the face.
All was silent as the tomb, save the
tricklng water as 1t dropped from the
thawing ice.
Suddenly the corpse began to whistle,
and every hair on the Watchers head
bristled in horror.
"Nick, come for Gods sake The
old man is getting up !"
With these EXPLANATIONS on his lips,
the startled watcher slammed the door
behind him and ran home as fast as his
legs could carry him, leaving Nick to
face the music, as IL were. But the
scientific explanation is very simple
Gas had formed In the dead man IS stom-
ach, and the jarring, caused by the fall
Of pieces Of ice from the forehead into
pals beneath, had allowed it to escape
through the toothless and wrinkled
mouth. So the derd man whistled like
school-boy.

piled Jane, with mock courtesy. And
knowing she would go for good this
time, she dared everything In her retort.
But when young ladies lose their
young men, | 'spose they are mad
enough to call other girls any names

Dodglng n book that Miss Leighton,
now reused to fury, flung ut her, Jane
fled through the door, and went straight
up to the attic, to pack her things.
Miss Leighton remained in the room
blind with rage She understood every
thing, now All was lost. And It was
hard, very hard; for Walter Landon
was not only elegant and fastidlous, but
the heir Of nearly half n million: and,
he was the only one OF all the train OF
admirers for whom the proud beauty
had ever really cared.
Six months later Walter Landon
welded Lucy Thornley,, whose sweet
loveiness and charming manners were
admired by every one, save Miss
leighton.
She wondered what people could see
In that country girl to admire. The
chit hadn't n bit Of style. Moreover, she
had taught school for aliving. A lady :

Walter Landon should be only II poor
school teacher"

Ben BUTLER was nominated
by the Massachusetts State Dem

great opposition, but finally the
nomination was made unani-

was adopted. The Connecticut
Democratic convention also
adopted the greenback plat
form. These two movements
are very significant. as showing

Ex-Governor Davis.

The Austin GaSette is satisfied
that Gov. Davis will be a candi-
date for congress. Should his
ex-governorship conclude to
make the race, a very lively can
vass will be the result and, the
outcome would be by no meaas
certain. Says the GaSette:
= 1t seems now to be generally
misunderstood that Gov. Davis
will become a candidate in this
district for Congress. HIS hopes
have been inspired for success
IN the belief that the vote.will be
so divided between, Hancock
and Jones, that with solid
Radical vote he may run in. He
is satis6ed.that Jones is SO far
committed in his candidacy
that he will not retire, and he
knows that Judge Hancock
looks with confidence to his
election. tits a question now
sforthe moderate Republicans of
this district-the property-hold-
ers and men of influence to de-
termine whether they will be
drawn into the support of Davis.
viii they follow the leadership
Ief one who has shown himself
capable of disregarding all the.
solemn obligations of organic
law, and-establishing a personal
government on the ruins of the
rights and liberties of the peo-
pie: one who made martial law
paramount to the civil law and
forced at the point of the bayo-
met contributions from the peo-
pie. for the support of a tyrani-
meal government We believe
that rather than do this, they
will rally to the support of Han
cock and give him their vigor-
!ous support. :,

THE G., c. q S. F. RI.

After numerous delays and
much private and newspaper
talk, the stockholders meeting
of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Fe Railroad was held at Calves
ton, on Monday, 10Th inst.
The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. Kopperl, president
of the company, who stated that
the purpose of the conference
was to consider the proposals Of
Messrs. Dennistown, Cross &
Co., to place the bonds of the
road to the amount of s., 7oo,-
900, with which to complete the
road, to Bolton.
Col. N. B. Yard was called
to the chair, and c. c. Allen
made secretary. The roll was
called, and 6,565 shares, out of
a total of 7,75o were found to
be represented. A vote was
taken, and the result declared
to be that only 20 shares voted
against the proposition. The
meeting then adjourned.
The Galveston Meaos editori-
ally endorses the ratification,
and says the public now anxious
ly looks forward for a vigorous
prosecution of the work. Be,
fore the contract becomes bind.
ing it is necessary for the home
people to contribute the balance
Of 100000 required to be fur
nished here. 1t is to be hoped
that there will now be no more
delay. The. road can and should
be finished to Brennan by some
time next summer.
