AN UNOANNY ADVENTURE.
From Gali.nani.

The singlarities which marked the OK
isteuce Of Schop enhauer did not cease
on his deathbed. He expired on the
Dist of September, 1860, and two persons
were appointed by his medical attendant
to watch the body until the funeral.
They agreed to perform their task by
turns, and one of them, who had been
the barber of the deceased, sat down the
first night to watch at the foot of the
bed. while his companion took some rest
on a sofa. The moon was shining
brightly through the windows of the
room, which was on the ground floor.
The time and the circumstances rather
awed the poor Figaro, who was of a timid
and superstitious nature, and while his
companion was snoring on his couch he
was absorbed in fearful considerations
on the immortality of the soul. Sud-
denly the clock on the wall struck the
ghostly hour of midnight, and the last
stroke was followed by sharp sound
from the bed; the head moved and then
came a noise of something falling on
the ground. Drawer men than the bar
Der would have been dismayed. No
illusion was possible. The head of the
corpse must have dropped of.
In moment the barber had opened
the window and leaped into the deserted
street. His comrade woke up aud
followed in no less haste. Both were
pale as death. But after some reflection
they began to comprehend the gravity
of the situation. What would be eaid
the next morning if they were not at
their posts Mutual's eacouraging each
other, they decided on returning and
clearing up the mystery Two tapers
were burning in the room, and at one
of these they lighted a candle and
approached the bed, and their surprise
was great when on looking on the
ground, they saw, not the head of
Schopenhaner, but set of teeth. The
philosopher. who was seventytwo
years of age, had worn false teeth. The
spring of them had caused them to be-
come detached from his mouth, and then
to fall on the ground, causing the terror
of the watchers.

informed DeRocha that his Chartres
street store was on fire. but he denied
being the owner Of store on that
street. They then placed him under
arrest, with his friend. 0
DeRocha was subsequently tried and
convicted. but through the exertions OF
his attorney, Judge A,ocha, obtained 8
new trial, aud finally left the city tor
Havana. From thence it is said he
went to Paris, and, detective Farrell
says, doubtless assumed the name OF
Le Neindre for the furtherance of the
object which eliminated IN his conyic-
tion as above stated.

We are asked every day, and more
times than we can count, if we can divine
the cause of Hancock's defeat. After the
late war some one said to General
Forrest, How does it happen that you
are always successful p Forrest an
swered, 81 manage to get to the battle
ground first with the most men," We
adopt it as our answer, and hope tmay
be remembered and followed on the
next occasion, and that smiles instead
of frowns may attest it's wisdom and
efficacy.

The Elder Disraeli's Tomb.

The London Antiquary says: "The
tomb of Benjamin Disraeli, the grsud-
father of the present Prime Minister, in
the Spanish and Portuguese cemetery,
in the Mile-end-road, has recently been
repaired, and the inscription recut and
repainted. He was the founder of the
family in England, and, having realized
a fortune in business, retired to life of
luxurious and elegant ease at Braden-

Curiously enough, however, the tomb
stone of the Prime Minister'S grand
mother, in The same cemetery, has not
been touched, although it is in a very
dilapidated state. The inscription on
Benjamin Disraelis tomb is as follows ::

Good Resolutions.

The international Sunday School
Convention, held last month in Balti-
more, adopted the following resolutions,
offered by Rev. B. c. Lippincott:

Mrs. Fltch's Diamonds.

News of the present whereabouts of
the magnificent diamond necklace, which
was presented by the Khedive of Egypt
to Mrs. Fitch, daughter of General SherA
man, seems to have been obtained from
diamond merchant by the Cincinnati
Enquirer. II will be remembered that
this necklace was deemed worth $780,
600, and Congress RENTED the duties,
$4,000, for the non-payment of which
it was long detained in the New York
Custom House. CATER this" says the
informant, "the necklace was sent to
Washington, and with Gen. Sherman's
sword, deposited in the United States
Treasury for safe keeping. Upon fur
Their inquiry, Lieutenant Fitch ascer-
tanned that the yearly taxes on the dia-
monds IN st. Louis county, where he
then resided, would be much more than
his salary, and he once more found them
an elephant on his hands, His father
in-law, General Sherman, took pity on
the boy, and returned the necklace, with
thanks, to the donor in Egypt. Upon
receiving them, the Khedive wrote to
the General saying tina. it was not his
desire that the diamonds should be given
to any one member of his family, and
having learned that he had four daugh-
tiers, it was his wish then that the dia-
monds should be mounted in sets, and
divided equally between them. These
daughters are Mrs. Fitch, nee Minnie
Sherman, Ella Sherman, Lizzie Sher
man and Rachel Sherman. The neck
lace was then returned to the Sherman
family, and mounted in four magnificent
pendants, four pairs of splendid solitaire
earrings and eight rings. These four la
dies are now the happy possessors of
four complete suits of diamonds, the
value of each suit being at least $4,000.

Some Corn IN Illinois.

The corn crop of the single State
Illinois for the year 1879 is reported to
be 305,Sl3,377 bushels, and estimated
to be worth s97,4S3,052, or about 81
cents per bushel. 1t is difficult for the
mind to take in the full magnitude of
these figures Here are some caleula-
tons that will help the conception :;
Load this corn upon wagons, 40 bushels
to the load, and start them off on the
road SO near together that there shall
be 100 teams in every mile The line
of wagons carrying this one crop Of
Illinois corn would stretch away 76,453
miles, or more than three tunes around
the world Again Load this crop
upon railway freight cars, 1851 bushels
or about 8 tons to the car, and make up
these cars into continuous freight
train, allowing 80 feet of track to each
Car. The train would extend $3.50
miles, or nearly twice across the CONT
nent from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Oceans Again Suppose we put this
corn crop into square bin 20 feet deep.
Let the a-ithmet cal young readers Of
the American Agriculturist reckon how
large this bin would be each way Also,
how many acres it would cover.-Also,
how many pounds of pork it would make
if given to pigs weighing 100 lbs each
when they begin feeding upon the corn,
and $50 DIS when killed for pork.

Where the Scriptures Came to

During yesterday mornings biting
cold couple of ragged urchins strolled
into Chapel street restaurant and stood
around the tables in an out-of-place sort

and another mouth shut down on the pie,
and, alternating bites, the two wagged
their jaws in unison until it was all
gone-all but one bite.
"N,w don't be mean, Tim. You had
the first bite; give me the last"

say last Sunday that the first shall be
the last and believe he's right" and
away went the last vestige OF crust, and

gether, having placed one piece of
squash pie where it would do the most
good-in two places. Haven
