A "COrpse'' that Smoke.

A remarkable case has occurred in
Memphis, Clark county, Ind. Mrs.
Eliza Weir, aged sixty-six, wife of John
Y. Weir, of that town, had been ailing
for number of days with infammatory
rheumatism, gradually grew worse, and
at six p. NJ. on Thursday, to all appear
ances, breathed her last. Her pulse
failed to beat, the body became cold, and
the attendants decided that she was dead
and made arrangements for the funeral.
She was :" laid out, coppers placed over
her eyes, handkerchief tied under her
chin, etc., and the neighbors who were
gathered around were discussing the de-
ceased lady's many good qualities, when
suddenly, within fifty minutes of the
supposed demise, the "corpse" spoke
out, making some unintelligible request.
There We're several ladies in the room,
and all of them became terribly fright
ened and retired in confusion, excepting
Mrs. John Ball, who remained and adj
ministered to the lady's wants. After
a while Mrs. Weir breathed freely, and
the next day gradually returned to con-
seriousness.

Murders That Do Not Out.


A New York paper says: The sacred
ness with which our civilization has in
vested human life finds expression in the
OUT" and possibly in the large majority
of eases the perpetrators of murder are
discovered and punished. Yet it is GER
tain that in respect to a considerable
minority of the total number of murders
committed the guilty escape detection.
Bodies are daily and weekly discovered
in the rivers. They may represent deaths
by accident, by suicide, or by murder I;
but there is no way of ascertaining with
accuracy how many are attributable to
either cause. In some cases the waters
may cast up the body when it is yet in
condition to show marks of violence, if
any there be upon it; but if it has passed
certain stage of decomposition this is
not possible. Thus it depends upon the
mere accident Of the action of the tides
whether it can be known that murder
has been committed; and when this is
ascertained it may well happen that the
knowledge gives not the slightest clew to
the perpetrators of the crime. The truth
is, that not the murder itself but the
social position of the victim largely de-
termines the chances Of discovery. If a
couple of drunken and degraded men,
the offscourings of society, quarrel in
their drunkenness and one pushes the
other into the river; or if n man of the
same class befound dead, with his skull
fractured, in some wretched cellar, the
chances are that the person at whose
hands the deceased came to his death
will not be discovered Here is muir
der, but society cares little about it be-
cause the murdered was at best useless
to it, and possibly preyed upon it. So
ciety is rather the better for his taking
off, and those who are responsible for It
are too brutalized to feel much compunc-
ton about the matter, If they arc dis
covered it is mainly by chance circum-
stances rather than by the vigorous ac-
ton of society through its constituted
authorities, But let the murdered person
be of good standing in society, or let
there be circumstances about the affair
concentrating the public attention upon
the crime, then.i is that the community
is startled with the consciousness that u
murder has been committed, and all its
resources for the detection and punt al
ment of crime are exhausted to bring
the guilty to justice. If these are baffled,
which is but rarely, the cases passes into
police history as " another undiscovered
murder often quoted and long remem-
bered, while it is morally certain that
not q month, and perhaps not q week,
passes in this city but some wretched
creature meets death at the hands of per-
sons who remain unknown and almost
unsought. IdUH

Blind Mans Duel,

A Western paper tells this story of
peculiar duel that occurred in the days
when Mississippi river steamers were
the scenes of constant carousals and
quarrels: Capt. West, one of the 1iercest
hGbittteS of the steamer one day accused
a gentleman on the deck of impertinently
staring at him. 81 am not looking at
you," calmly replied the stranger, his
eyes meanwhile fixed in stony glare
upon the duellist's face. "But you are,
STRIP 81 am not" The captain turned
away, but short time afterward he felt
those stony eyes again upon him and
following all his movements. Stepping
up to the stranger he inquired, with sup
pressed passion, +" Can you fight as well
as lookp" perhaps so. | never tried
it. Place me, however, in position and
| will do my best" The singular con-
duct of the stranger had by this time at
tracted universal attention. In short
time the vessel rounded to landing for
wood, and the parties to the impromptu
duel went ashore. The stranger was led
off by negro servant, who seemingly
picked his way. But the time allotted
for preliminaries was brief, and the men
were speedily put in position. The word
was given, and two ringing reports
flashed out on the air. Capt. West fell,
pierced to the heart. The stranger stood
erect, calm and digniied His second
rushed up to him: " Are you hurt, sirp"
No. How is it with my antagonist
Cant you see?-you have killed him"
mo; | am unable to seen You can't
see?n "No; / am blindm And so he
proved to be. The tragedy was a nine
days wonder, and all sorts of rumors
were rife as to the identity of the fatal
stranger. But who he was and whittier
he went was mystery never solved.
