A Strange Burial.

Erie Hcrald.l
Recently a child Of Mr.. McVeagh, OF
Oil City. a boy between three and four
wears of ace, died. Mr.. McNeagh, being
a free-thinker, thought it inconsistent
with his views to have his child buried
in the cemetery or with any of the
pomp and circumstances connected with
burial services as generally cOhductedj
and, therefore, dug a grave in his back
yard. where the body was inferred. The
occurrence caused considerable Of an eX-
citement and talk On being questioned
upon the affair." Mr. McVeagh said: "Ihe
facts are simply these: My little boy
was taken sick with scarlet fever and
died. l do not believe in the superstl-
tiOns l see around me; have Outgrown
them. Therefore I did not hire an un-
dertaker to come to my house with
piece of Grape on his arm, as though he
was sorrowing; according to my idea
such things are not right. l did not
take him to any church for minister,
who knew nothing of him, to make an
Grafton over him. | dug his little grave
out in the garden, where he loved to
play, and while digging it l baptized
the ground with my tears. My little
ones carried the coffin out to the grave,
into which I put it. Some persons had
gathered there. ,-sOme were my friends,
some out of curiOsity-and L spoke to
them Of the child; how he had played in
this garden; how he had gathered its
traits; how, here, he had made little bou-
duets foy lis mother, and it was here, in
the playground of his childhood, l
wanted to lay him."

the rosy dawn of a new day, before she
opened her eyes to meet the loving ones
bending over her. There was a silent
meeting of lips; whispered words OF
assurance and thahkfulness from the
husband, as he bedewed her hands with
tears and covered them with kisses.
In reply she only whispered lOwly and
trembingly, though jOyfully:
Bring me my rings, Edward"
He did as she had requested, and
slipped them one by one Upon the poor
white hands, even to the last emerald,
and sealed them with a kiss, explaining
briefly how the missing one had been

came with the physician for tidings Of
the invalid, they found her slumbering

them unspeakabie JOY and thanks for the

THE commissioner of internal revenue
has handed in his annual report to the
secretary Of the treasury for the past
year. The tables embodied therein show
that during the past three years and
four months 8, III illicit distilleries have
been seized, 6,363 persons arrested for
illicit distilling, and q officers and en-
pIoyes killed and Is wounded while en-
gagged in enforcing the internal revenue
law. The commissioner says that the
State courts have taken coanizance" of
these murders and assaults only in few
eases, and they cannot be relied upon
to punish such offences. He therefore
recommends the enactment by congress
of a law authorizing the United States
courts to try and punish persons charged
with assaults upon United States officers
while the latter are engaged in the per-
formance of their official duties. The
report shows that 5, ,448 distilleries were
registered during the past fiscal year, and
5,947 operated. During the special tax
year, ending April both, there were 49,
100000 gallons of spirits rectifed, and
during the fiscal year the taxes paid on
spirits Withdrawn from the warehouse
aggregated S46,778, ,O0O In discussing
the reduction of the tax on tobacco, the
commissioner says that during four

When Arc Women fore1EY

LONELINESS in women, though it may
vary in its character and manifestations
at different periods of life, is not the prop
erty of youth only. There is a great and
lndeniable charm in q fresh beauty of
eighteen, to which ihexpcrience and
eaTly romance lends perhaps, additional
fascination. A pretty girl Of that ags,
who has been untouched by care, and
who knows of the world through imag-
inatiOn only, is a very delightful ObjeCt;
and many men wish they might take cap
tive her first affections. Between eigh-
teen and twenty-one the changes in a
Girl; so far as the charms Of her person
90, are not likely to be great; but in that
time, by longer intercourse with society,
and by natural development, she may
get more cOmpaniOnable for men of
maturity, and her carriage and self
control become better and greater.
Those are important years in young
wOman's life, the years during which, in
cur climate, the majority of the sex are
married. And yet, from twenty-five to
twenty-five or twenty-six a maiden may,
and generally does, still further advance
in attractiveness, and add to the store
of her charms. She is still young, but
she has outliyed some of the youthful
fahcies, and feels some of the dignity of
womanhood. No better ages than those
in a maiden's life, and never is she love-
lier. But why stop at twenty-six? What
fairer women are to be found than many
of those between twenty-six and thirty,
and even older? Girls Of eighteen may
look on them as unsought old maids, and
yet they are in their wOmanly prime,
and may capture hearts that have been
steeled against girlish destinations.
Oftentimes they make the best of wives,
and men find a solace and communion-
ship in their society which immaturity
cannot give. They have the advantage
of experience, and they have learned the
lessons taught by longer contact with
the world, while still they may not be
averse to falling in love-

A Fatal Engine.

lEhiade fihda AltAaessl
John Peterson, and old engineer on
the Northern New Jersey railroad, on
Tuesday ram over and killed young
lady, Miss MARY X. BUssing, Of
Brooklyn, whoodhad been gathering
ferns near the track at Englewood, N.
j., and few hours after ran over lit
tie boy at Tyler Park. When the train
reached Jersey City, Peterson wept like
a child, and jumping from the fatal en-
CINE he said, excitedly: You can take
charge of that engine yourselves, for
I've had enough of her" He was so
affected that he went home sick. Miss
Bussing was the daughter of Mr.. r. S.
Bussing, one of the weaIthiest citizens
of Brooklyn. She was with two young
ladies at the time of the terrible acci-
dent, and got her foot caught between
the rails of switch. Nearly the whole
train passed over her before it could be

A NEW invention has been tried with
success in London in the utilization of
the power generated in stopping street
oars for the purpose of re-starting them,
and thus saving the extra exertion of the
horses. The contrivance is a cOiled spring,
which is wound up by the stopping of
the Car, and, which, when released, acts
en- the wheels so as to impart motion.
1t acts, too, as an assistance to horses up
a steep grade, the power having been ac-
quired in a preceding down grade and
kept stored in the spring until the energy
is required.

WHAT Zulu discipline and rule was is
clearly indicated by a story told by Ceta-
wayo himself while on his way down to
the pl2ce of embarkation. Pointing to a
busn, he informed his conductors that in
front of that bush Chaka used to sit af-
ter a battle had been fought in order to
hear accusations of cowardice against
any of his soldiers. IF a man were con-
victed on what appeared sufficient evil
dence, he was expected to stand still with
his arm high above his head, while an
assegai was slowly and by degrees thrust
downward from the armpit till it pierced
the heart.

sixteen years old, being then at Paris,
there grew upon my hands a number of
warts-at least 100 in a months space.
