A Resurrection that didn't Come.

J. H. Van Scheets, native of Kutz-
town, Berks county, died on Sunday
morning, April IA, at Orwigsburg,
Schuylkill county, in the 3Oth year of
his age. His body was coffined and
placed in the grave on the following
Wednesday, but the gravewa left open,
and the lid of the coffin not screwed
down-some of his friends thinking he
was in trance. In this condition he
was left until Saturday Goth, his friends
visiting the body every day to see if
there was any sign Of returning life
Being certain that he was dead the cof-
fin lid was screwed down and the grave
filled UP.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 95, 1878

WASHINGTON, ID. O., April 20, 1873.
A lack in the way of children's clothing,
that has long been felt, is at last supplied,
in the colored trimmings, Hamburg and
lace, that are now so much in vogue. Moth
ers have revolted against clothing their lit
tie girls in brown linen school dresses, while
white or very light muslins, cambrics and
points are too eazily mussed for school,
But now dull linens may be frightened up
with cardinal red, navy-blue or buff en-
broidery, and are converted at once into
neat, Gressy frocks. The more delicate
embroideres are to be used for white dress
trimming both for children and ladies, and
white dresses are to be much worn the
coming season.
Now that water color painting is so much
affected, we see all sorts of articles decora-
ted in that manner from easter eggs and
wax candles to kid gloves and earrings. The
candles and gloves are in poor taste, being
so soon worn out and burnt out; but the
dainty silk lockets and earrings are things
of beauty. Among the prettiest effects in
this decorating line we see toilet articles.
Pincushions with delicate silk coverings
upon which are painted sprays of flowers
and vines, and, what is just now particu-
larly the rage, the toilet bottles sheathed
in white or tinted silk, trimmed with lace
and ribbon and painted in flower sprays,
medallions, or any design preferred.
These are to be seen in every druggists
window, more extensively in New York, of
course, than here-for we get the majority
of our little fleeting fancy styles from there.
New York is Washington's Paris.
The old and well known Hutchinson
family are here singing. They have given
a dozen grand concerts in the last six
weeks here, besides singing at various char
liable institutions = the Reform School,
Freedman's Hospital, Orphan Asylum, and
Insane Asylum. Only one of the original
''boys" is now in the troupe-John. But
fancy none but singers are allowed to
marry into the Family" and SO it is
kept up.

dium size, round forehead, chestnut brown
hair, grayish blue eyes-clear and bright,

interest in other branches of science.
The phonograph is in its inventors own

If Congress would but agree to ad-
journ at some day in the near future, e,say
the 10th of May, inexpressible relief
would be afforded the country. AS long
as the financial thinkers and tariff mend
ers are at work so long will people be at
loss what course in business to pursue,
and as long as this feeling of doubt pre-
walls so long will be delayed the return
of the better times for which we have
been so ardently hungering.-PhiIddel-

APointer's Contempt.

An English paper says: In proof Of
the dislike pointer will show to a bad
shot, Mr.. Jesse adduces the following
anecdote, given on reliable authority: A
gentleman, on his requesting the loan of
pointer dog from a friend, was inform
ed by him that the dog would behave
very we'll so long as he could kill his
birds. but if he frequently missed fire it
would run home and leave him. The
dog was sent, and the following day fixed
for trial; but unfortunately his new mas
ter was remarkably bad shot. Bird
after bird rose and was fired at, but still
pursued its flight untouched, till at last
the pointer became careless and often
missed his game. AS if seemingly
willing, however, to give one chance
mere, he made deep stop at a fern bush,
with his nose pointed downward, the foot
bent, and his tail straight and steady.
In this position he remained firm until
the sportsman was close to him with both
barrels cecked; then, moving steadily
forward for few PAGES, he at last stood
still near bunch of heather, the tail ex-
pressing the anxiety of the mind, by NOV
ing regularly backward and forward. At
last sprang out a fine old blackjack.
Bang! bang! went both barrels, but the
bird escaped unhurt. The patience of
the dog was now quite exhausted, and
instead of dropping to charge, he turned
boldly around, placed his tail between his
legs, gave one growl, long and loud, and
set off as fast as he could for his own
home.

Heat Of the Sun.

We can measure the quantity of heat
that the sun constantly emits, because we
can measure the amount received by our
000,O00th part of all the light and heat
emitted by the sun. We thus find that in
every second of time the sun emits as
much neat as would result from the COM
bustion of II, 100000 100000 tons Of coal.
In passing, it may be convenient to
notice that each portion of the suns sur
face as large as our earth emits as much
heat per second as would result from the
combustion of 1000, 100000 tons Of coal
a simple and easily remember I'd relation.
Now, it is easily calculated from this that
il the suns whole mass consisted of coal.
and could burn right out to the last ton,
maintaining till then the present rate of
emission. the supply would not last more
certainly been emitting light and heat
for far longer period than this, the idea
that the solar fire is thus maintained is,
Of course, altogether untenable. There
are, however, many other reasons for re-
jecting the idea that the sun is composed
of burning matter, using the word >Durn-
ing" in its proper sense, according to
which piece of coal in a fire is burning,
whereas a piece of red-hot iron is not
burning, though burning lot. In like
manner we find ourselves compelled to
reject the belief that the sun may be a
body raised at some remote epoch to an
intense heat throughout its intire mass,
and gradually cooling. For we find that
in the course of few thousand of years
such mass would cool far more than the
sun has cooled Off has cooled appreci-
ably at alDeven within the historic period;
and we have evidence that he has poured
his heat on the earth during periods COM
pared with which the duration of the
human race is but second amid centuries,
while the duration of historic races il
utterly lost by comparison.

A Broken Heart.

Chambers. Journal.
A man is said TO be ..redn or 'swhites
with rage. In using these expressions,
we are physielogically speaking of the
nervous condition of the minute circuIa-
ton Of the mans blood. Red rage
means partial paralysis of minute blood
vessels; and sswhiten rage means tempo
rary suspension of the action of the prime
mover of the circulation itself. But such
disturbances can not often be produced
without the occurrence of permanent or
ganic evils of the vital organs, especially
of the heart and OF the brain. One strik-
ing example is given by DR.. Richardson,
In the case of a member of his own pro-
fession. This gentleman told me that an
original irritability of temper was per
mitted, by want of due control, to pass
into disposition Of almost persistent or
chronic anger, SO that every trife in his
way was cause of unwarrantable irrita-
ton. Sometimes his anger was so vehe-
ment that all about him were alarmed
tor him even more than for themselves
and when the attack was over there were
hours Of sorrow and regret in private
which were as exhausting as the previ-
Gus rage. In the mi1st of one of these
outbreaks of short, severe madness he
suddenly felt, to use his own expression.
as if his 'sheart were lost.'' He reeled
under the impression, was nauseared and
faint; then recovering, he put his hand
to his wrist and discovered an ntermit-
tent action Of his heart as the cause OF
his faintness. He never completely raj
lied from that shock, and to the day of
his death, ten years later, he was never
free from the intermittency. 81 am
broken hearted" he would say, ''physi-
cally broken hearted" And so he was;
but the knowledge of the broken heart
tempered marvelously his passion, and
saved him many years Of really useful
life. He died ultimately from an acute
febrile disorder.
