SolAiere' Graves.

We have received from Capt. A. F..
Rockwell. in charge of National Gene.
teries, Washington, D. c., the follow.
ing circular letter, which explains it.
self:
It is probably generally remembered
that some years ag0-in l873-COn.
gress passed law providing for the
erection of durable headstones over
the graves Of soldiers of the regular
and volunteer forces of the United
States whose remains are inferred in the
National Military Cemeteries. This
law has been carried out, and the graves
of the Nations dead in these GENE.
teries are now permanently marked.
At the instance of the War Depart.
ment, Congress has recently authorized
the erection Of similar headstones over
the graves of the Union soldiers who
are buried in private and village GENE.
teries. This will be done as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be
made. In the meantime the Quarter.
master General, at Washington, will
at once proceed to collect the necessary
information as to where these head.
stones are required.
All persons having any knowledge OF
the burial places of soldiers in private
cemeteries whose graves are not
marked, are requested to communicate
the fact to the Quartermaster General,
and give regiment, company, and date
of death of deceased, if known. Similar
information is desired from parties in
charge of such cemeteries.
OF course it is not intended to furnish
headstones for graves over which mon.
uments have already been erected by
relatives or friends of the deceased.
Capt. Rowell's object is to secure
the widest possible circulation of this
matter, in order that tile War Depart.
ment may be placed in possession of the
facts necessary to carry out the law in
the premises. Those knowing of any
soldiers graves in this vicinity not
provided with headstones will do a
kind act to the memory of the departed
braves by making the fact known al
once.

ten days trip to Nebraska, whittier
he went in pursuit of Geo. w. Kendall,
formerly of this county and afterwards
of Brown county, indicted at the last
term of district court for larceny. It
seems that Kendall is following the
vocation of a peddlar or salesman, and
some delay occurred in ascertaining his
whereabouts, but he was finally over
hauled at Crete, where the sheriff ar.
rested him on-a warrant issued by the
Governor of Nebraska. He was taken
before the district court on a habeas
corpus, where the arrest was held good
and he was remanded to the custody of
the officer. Afterwards, at Lincoln,
he was taken before the United States
district judge, when the prisoner was
discharged, the warrant being held in
sufficient. Satisfied that he could not
hold Kendall if re-arrested, the sheriff
returned home as above stated.

Gates, Of manufacturing sugar and syr-
up. This matter Of establishing sug-
or refinery in our city has been talked
up q long time, and various induce.
ments were held out to outside parties
contemplating establishing refneries in
this State, to locate one here, but it
has SO far in every case resulted in
naught; and few Of our enterprising
citizens have at last concluded to take
the matter into their own hands, and
make thorough and practical test
whether marketable sugar in paying
quantities can be produced from Early
Amber cane and sweet corn. The
gentlemen that have associated them
selves together for this porpose are
Aug. Westphal, Fir. Book, c. Rolloff,
William ANIME, Henry Vogelpohl,
August Hellmann and George Jacobs.
The capital that is to be invested in
buildings machinery, &C., has been
placed at $4,000, which will lie ample
to put in machinery capable of work
ing up l25 to $50 acres Of cane during
the season. Should it be satisfactorily
demonstrated that it can be made a
paying investment sufficient capital
will be forthcoming to enlarge the re-
fnery. The refinery, provided the
ground can be secured, is to be located
on German street between 4th and
5th North streets. A sufficient guam.

been procured from Kansas, as also

A New Explosive.
Galignani'S Messenger, March


The staff Of the Austrian Artillery
have been for some time engaged in
making experiments at the arsenal of
Zimky on material which is said to
possess far greater explosive power than
any other substance hitherto discover
ed. During a series of investigations
relative to dynamite and compressed
gun cotton. M. Nobel found that the
latter could be prepared in such way
that it could be completely dissolved IN
nitro glycerine. The product Is gela-
tinous and gummy substance which. at
the highest pressures, does not part with
any of the nitro-g lycerine. The explo-
sive gelatlne reslsts water, cannot be
nred by any shock, and only goes off
with difficulty and imperfectly when ig-
nited. Further experiments showed,
however, that with 1t new compound
could be formed admirably adapted to
all military purposes. This is prepared
by simply adding q little camphor TO
the geatine. The proportions are 4
per cent. OF the former to SO per cent.
Of the latter, which consists OF 80 per
cent OF nitro-glycerine and 10 per cent.
of fulmi-cotton. The gelatinous mass
is elastic, transparent, of q pale-yellow
color, and can be cut with a knife.
When set on fire in the open air IT burns
like dynamite or dry compressed gun
cotton. It. only takes fire at very high
temperature, and the action Of the
camphor is very evident in that respect,
Tor the ordinary gelatine, by itself, ex-
plodes at 200 degrees centigrade 1892
degrees Fahrenheit), while the heat re-
quired to produce tFat effect after the
addition of the cimphor cannot be
tested by any of the apparatus usually
applied to that purpose. The new COM
position cannot be fired by blow, even
from projectile; it shows no signs Of
alteration even after having been left
in running water for forty-eight hours.
When solidiiied by cold it forms a mass
resembling sugar-candy, and IS then
more sensitive to mechanical action,
but as soon as it is thawed it resumes
all It's original properties. When ex-
ploded, however, 1t produces less smoke
than dynamite or gun-cotton, with
clearer and more sonorous report, and
has far greater force than either. The
principal objection to its adoption was
the difficulty OF ignling it, but that has
been overcome. When cotton fiber is
subjected to the action Of sulphuric
acid. white pulverulent substance is
obtained, which has received the name

Nearly Buried Alive.

The heroine Of the following remark
able story--but which comes on unim-
peachable authority rs perfectly true
says Chambers JoHnoi was young
lady Of IL or Ii years. After some
what protracted illness she, to all APP
pearance, died. The mother literally
refused to believe. it, although the doc.
tors and the other inmates Of the house
saw no reason to doubt the fact.
The funeral was arranged, the grave
made, and the specified three days had
come to an end. The mother had never
left her daughters body; she had tried
every available means TO restore her,
but to no avail. As the hour approach
eo for the ceremony to take place, she
became more and more distracted, and
more desperate in her efforts to con
vince herself that life still fingered.
As last resort she went for some
strong elixir, and taking out Of her
pocket q fruit knife with two blades one
blade of gold, the other of silver-pro-
ceeded continual working to force the
gold blade between the teeth when in
serted she poured drop of the elixir
oll WV biitN, 'i'Cii hiip'iiti alI' aiIolb'i,
and tried to make it enter the mouth;
but it seemed only to trickle back again
and down the chin. Still she perse-
vered, becoming more desperate as the
moments flew on to the hour, now so
near, when her child was to be taken
from her.
At the very last, when she was be-
ginning to dread the very worst, she
thought she detected slight spasm in
the throat, and on close examination
she became aware that the liquid was
no longer returning, rs it did at first.
She continued the application, every
moment feeling more excited and more
joyfully hopeful. Presently the action
OF swallowing became more decided.
She felt feeble flutter at the heart,
and before long the eyes gradually
opened, and closed again; but the
breathing became quietly regular, and
the mother was satisfied that now no
one would dispute the fact; so she called
her household round her and proved to
them the joyful fact that her child was
restored to her, and that no funeral
procession would leave the house that
day. Before long the child fully re-
covered. The fruit knife, with its two
blades, is to this day the most precious
heirloom in the family possessions.

The Tiger.

His whole frame is put together to Of.
feet destruction. In cutting up tiger
you are impressed with this. His ten
dons are masses Of nerve and muscle
as hard as steel. The muscular devel.
opment is tremendous. Vast bands and
layers of muscle overlap each other.
Strong ligiments which you can scarce
~ cut through and which soon blunt
the sharpest knife, unite the solid, free.
playing, loose jointed bones. The muz.
zle is broad and short and obtuse. The
claws are completely retractile. The
jaws are short. There are two false
molars, two grinders above and the
same number below. The upper car
nivorous tooth has three lobes and an
obtuse heel; the lower has two lobes.

of the pelvis and large joints, cracked
and crunched like SO many walnuts by
the powerful jaws of the fierce brute.
The eye is peculiarly brilliant, and
when glaring with fury it is truly de-
moniac. With his bristles rigid the
snarnng lips drawn back, disclosing the
formidable fangs, the body crouching

from side TO side, each muscle tense
and strung, and an undulating move

large snake, IA crouching tiger at bay is
a sight that strikes certain chill to the
heart of the on-looker. When he
bounds forward, with a roat that rever-
brates among the may labyrinths of
the interminable jungle, he tests the
steadiest nerve and almost daunts the
bravest heart

cruelty Beating a child.

Sarah and Frank Bayard, colored,
who reside over Third street bridge,
were arraigned at the police court last
evening. charged with assault and bat
terry and cruelty beating child. From
the evidence given it appears that the
child belonged to Debbie Griffith, she
paving the defendants for boarding it.
On several occasions the defendants
have whipped the child rather severely
leaving marks on its body. Sarah &C
knowledged whipping the child as she
said it was very bad. Frank Bayard
said that he had never whipped the
child, though it had torn up his tax
receipts, the history of the United
States, hid the sugar and struck matches
all ov Or the house. The child was not
over three years old if that, and several
marks were noticed on its throat where
the strokes had been given. His Honor
informed Sarah that he would impose a
fine of 81 and costs in her case. There
heing no legal evidence against Frank
Bayard he was discharged.
