THE LEADERSHIP OF JAMES.
A Strange Scene at q Grave.


The sad circumstances attending the
death Of Miss Mary +. Gregory at North
Haven last Friday will be remembered.
She was the daughter of ex-Councilman
George Gregory. who formerly lived on
Humphrey street in this city, and who
moved to North Haven few years ago.
She had been suffering from neuralgia.
and morphine had been prescribed for
her. In half-waking moment she
reached for glass of water and took a
large quantity of the morphine iustead,
dying from lis effect within few hours.
The many friends of the young lady as
sembled at her late home in New Haven
on Monday last 10 attend Il funeral
services, which were conducted by the
former pastor of Miss Gregory in this
city. Before and at the funeral there
was much talk about the peculiarly life
like appearance of the body as il lay in
the casket. There seemed TO be flushed
spots ON the arms. and one ear was pecu-
liarly tinged. So strongly did these cir
cumstances prey upon the minds of
many present, that the impression was
formed that life was not extinct All
this transpired notwithstanding the
statement made three days before, by
competent physicians. that the young
lady was certainly dead. Many curious
ones, besides the relatives. accompanied
the remains to Darien, where the inter-
ment was to take place. There the cas-
ket was opened to permit those present
to take last look. A red tinge was no.
ticeable on both ears, but there were no
other signs of life. A physician who
was present examined the body and as
sured the friends that there was no life
in ii. The caslet was then placed in the
box and lowered into the grave. After
the grave was partly filled, Mr.. Gregory
decided that he would not vet bury his
child, so the box was taken up and the
casket was removed TO the house of Ja-
cob Slawson near. by. A close watch
was kept over the body Monday and
Tuesday nights. The coloring of the
earsstll remained, but the hope of the
bereaved parents was not fulfilled, and
the body, certainly lfeless, was buried
Wednesday. This peculiar coloring of
parts of the dead body is not without
precedent, and by many physicians il is
said to be of frequent occurrence, and to
be sure indication of death. One pres
ent at the funeral in this case had heard
of q similar case not long ago in Brook
lyn, \. y. There Il wife was shot in the
neck and supposed to have died Burial
was prevented in some fortunate man
ner, and the lady recovered. This fact.
and that Of the rigidity of the muscles of
the body not being well marked, lent
additional color TO the hopes of the
mourning friends, whose grief there
fore, was the more severe

Pompeii,
naSfnn posl

Pompeiis resurrection, if not the date
of its ruin, certainly deserves celebra-
ton; for it has unearthed for us a world
of knowledge about an intensely inter-
esting period The life of Rome, as we
were won't to read it in books, was life
less enough on the printed page. A
more the spirit into it. We are carried
back to the very time; we sit at the iron
table, where, as ii would seem, Claudius
and julius just now sat, quaffing Falern-
ian and eating hard biscuits; We enter the
bath whence Luculla has just escaped,
her loose robe wrapper twined about her;
we saunter in the richly laden garden
where Diomed but yesterday RECALLED his
friends; we almost listen to the splash of
the fountain to whose music Sallust's ia
vorite maids reposed. No one can enter
the ghostly streets Of Pompeii without
seeing, in vivid fancy, the whole life of
that city springing up all about him.
There are the ruts the chariots have
made; there are the landlords signs,
distinct over the doors; there is the pre-
pared meal, awaiting his customers. 1t
is safe to say that the discovery of Pom
peii exploded a hundred theories that
haze been made, and bolstered by argu-
ments in others, about the Roman life of
old; and that while it gave new ideas as
TO the skill and beauty of Roman art, il
dispelled some pleasant illusions regard
ing Roman character. And when Pom
peii shall have been fully excavated and
laid bare in Its entirety for all to see, it
will be the most precious and instructive
relic of antiquity which the researches
of the ages have presented to mankind.

Petroleum ON the Caspian.

Petroleum bubbles up through the soil
all around the town of Baku on the tas-
plan Sea. As water Is scarce IN the VII
lage the streets are sprinkled with naph-
tha. One application will suffice for lii-
teen days. The best oil is obtained by
boring to depths, varying from $50 to450
feet 1t is refined by distillation at q
temperature commencing at l4O' cent?
grade. The refuse of the first distillation
has long been the only fuel used on the
war and mercantile steamers of the Cas-
plan, and is so plentiful that 1t sells at
only nominal price. This waste pro-
duct gives four times the volume OF gas
that can be obtained from an equal
weight of ordinary coal A letter pub
lished in the Journal of the London Soci-
ETY. of Arts states that with only $50
worth of this singular fuel steamer of
$50 tons and l20 horsepower can be run
at full speed for twenty hours. With it,
two engineers and two stokers will suf-
flee for a steamer of 900 tons burden,
The Island of Tchilican teens with this
oil, and many of the Caspian cliffs are
black with its streams flowing idly into
the sea. Large tracts Of petroleum-bear-
ing land are unproductive capital through
a want Of demand for the oil All that
is necessary to turn these wonderfully
extensive deposits of oil into vast wealth
is railroad communication with markets
This agency being once supplied, il is
simply inealculable what may be the in
fuence of lhe Caspian petroleum. upon
commerce the world over. With it the
plains of lhe far East may be trdvcrscd
by the locomotive, and new markets
opened up to marvellous extent.
