them to exhume the cody, and make .
post-mortem examination in private.
One night, two nights after the funeral,
they set out on their mission with hope
full hearts. It was bitter winter wealth
er. The night was black dark; the
ground was frozen hard, and thickly
covered with snow. Making straight
for the graveyard, the doctors en-,
ployed themselves in opening up the
grave. For several hours they worked
with pickax and spade; at last they came
upon the coffin, raised it up and opened
the lid.
1t was empty!
At this piece of audacity on the part
of some persons unknown, everybody
was more amazed than aver, and again
came the conviction, stronger than be-
fore, that murder had been done. But.
try as they would, they could discover
nothing. The whole country was
thrown into tumult, and popular e1-
element at its height, when I unwit-
tingly solved the terrible secret by
finding the body in the bog.
CHAPTER III.
Having sworn Shawn to secrecy. I
assisted him to reenter the box, and
forthwith sent word of the discovery tc
the magistrate. The box was at once
removed, the post-mortem examination
concluded, and the discovery made
that the unfortunate man had died of
heart disease. Again everybody was
amazed, and this time the wonder was
mixed with shame. After the examina-
tion was made, the Coroner's inquiry
was hurried over, and once more, in
solemn pomp and with all the rites
of the church, the agent was laid in his
grave.
Amid the solemn concourse which
attended this second funeral 7 noticed
the wild, wan face which had haunted
me ever since that day when I had seen
it by the frozen window of the inn-the
face of the very man whom in my own
mind I had accused of murderl For a
moment hung back ashamed; then I
boldly walked forward and pressed q
bank note into the wretched creatures
hand. He looked from it to me in
dazed amazement, then the sight of
one OF his ragged children seemed, to
make him realize what the money would
do. He clutched it closer, and with one
last look down the open grave he crept
across the bogs toward his home.
By whose hand the corpse was con-
veyed from the church-yard to the bog
was never discovered. It was generally
believed, however, that news OF the in
tended examination had been whispered
abroad, and that the agent was exhumed
and hidden solely with a view to pre-
venting his body being "cut up"

CHAPTER II.

On the 10Th day of February the an
nual winter fair was held at Portaclare.
The anticipation of this day always
created good deal of excitement in
the minds OF the peasants in and
around Storport-for it was always
constituted a sort of gala day-but
the announcement of the fair of 1877
brought with it whisperings of woe to
many home. The crops had been
bad fo: that year, and the miserable,
half-starved tenants had been unable to
scrape together enough money to pay
the rent, 80 the Proctor had summoned
them to attend the sessions at Ponta-
clare in order that they might show
cause why they should not deliver up
the whole of their worldly goods.
On the eventful day, which was ush-
cred in with hurricanes of binding
sleet, I ordered Shawn to bring out
the horses and car that we might drive
into Portaclare together. By the time
we started the hail had ceased to fall,
but still the wind blew bitterly, freezing
with its icy breath the little pools on
the wayside, aud when we drove into
Portaclare felt almost as if my blood
was frozen. It was midday by that
time, and, save for one or two decrepit
old men we had passed on the road, we

committed could not be proved on the
spot, but the manner of the mans death
was so peculiar as to call for Coroners
inquiry and post-nortem examination
The body, therefore, was at once re-
moved to the inn, and several hours
after it's removal the two principal
doctors of the town were on their way
armed with the implements necessary
for their work. On their arrival at the
inn novel scene awaited them. The
people, having at length solved the
meaning of the awfnl words, "posr-mor-
tenn examination" had risen up in arms
and declared that no such dissertation
of the dead should be allowed. Before
Tony Monaghan became land agent he
had been one of themselves, and, though
he had been a little hard on them of
late, there wasn't one man among them
but would raise his voice against having
the poor boys body cut up like a beasts.
The consequence was-a riot. The po-
lice were overpowered, the doctors sent
packing, the inn taken by storm. For
two nights the body lay in state, being
walked by it's wild comrades. At the end
of that time the authorities, only too
eager to bring matters to a peaceful
issue, allowed it to be quietly buried.
As the grave closed above it popular
excitement seemed to die away.
But if the people were satisfied, the
authorities were not. All believed
that murder had been committed, and
that the subsequent riot was only an
effort to prevent the discovery of the
murderer. No sooner. therefore, was
the unfortunate man buried than the
doctors received an order authorizing

TougheRed Glass a Success in FrdHce.-
NJ. de Luynes has recently communica-
ted TO the French Society of Encour-
agement, in the name of NJ. de Labas-
tie, further information on the progress
which he industry in hardened or tenn
pered glass has recently been making.
He showed 10 the meeting numerous,
specimens which presented the most
varied and accurate forms. There were
tubes for lamps, both gas and oil,
gOblets of various forms, mortars and
pestles, etc. As to the latter, VI. de
Luynes reminded the Society how fire.
quently accidents happened with them;
the least fall breaks them, whereas har-
dened glass stands any amount of
hard usage. He also showed capsules
for pharmacy and chemistry, fall sizes
and shapes, plates of glass, crystal and
enamel, coffee and tea-cups in white
enamel. He finished by making a s;rik-
ing experiment. Ordinary glasses were
placed in a basket with drinking glass
es of the same shape in hardened glass;
after several shakings. the ordinary
glasses were all broken, while all the
hardened glasses were intact. Thus it
would seem that all the difficulties OF
the question have been solved. But,
what is more Important, the processes
of manufacture II We been simplified
and combined with the ordinary oper-
atoms of glass blowing, so as consider
ably to diminish the expense and give
more regular forms and more perfect
execution. Objects made with the Ii
qHid material, when they are still red,
are thrown directly into the tempering
bath, aud are not again heated TO 4
melted point, as at first, which often
causes a change in their form. Bottles,
drinking glasses, lamp-glasses, and
other concave objects containing air are
received on a curved tube, a sort of
siphOn, which at moment of INNER
sion allows the air to escape, while the
liquid enters the cavity without diff
Guilty. All these improvements have
been adopted at the glass-works Of
Choisy-le-R Roi, and it is confidently ex-
pected tina in very short time objects
in hardened glass will be quite as cheap
as tn )se made in the ordinary way.

little accommodation. Any covered
place was better than their own huts,
and if there were none available, they
slept about as they could. They all
obeyed their own elected officers or
gang-masters, and they all, as long as
their wages were paid, did their work
steadily and perseyeringly, mutinying

Captains liked them, they persisted in
employing them, AMI gradually the
lascars came TO form a large proportion
of every crew-a proportion which of
late years, and in nonfighting services
has steadily increased. There was
however, always one doubt about the
lascars, Captains, unless extremely
familiar with them, and personally pop
ular with them, distrusted their nerve
in battle-that is Capt. Marryat's griev-
ance-and believed that whenever tried
at once by danger and cold, they would
absolutely refuse to do their duty. We
do not remember the incident on which
the belief rested, but it was nearly
universal among the very experienced
and competant seamen who made up
the old COmpany's Naval Service

and was embodied in story almost

ourselves as an old legend of the service
81 years ago. One of the company's
Captains was running down the Chan
mel in bitter weather, when gale came
on and the ship being in extreme
danger, all the lascars suddenly sat
down. They struck nobody, insulted
nobody, and made no rush for liquor;
but there they sat, with that passive,
inoffensiye, and unendurably irritating
obstinacy which none but Asiatics and
Red Indians can display. The Captain

MAMMOTH BERRIES. People are

ones are really not so large as one
would imagine ut first thought. Il
berry of regular shape, six inches in
circumference, weighs one ounce, AMI
this is very large. One three inches in
circumference weighs one eighth OF an
ounce. and is considered of good size
about $50 to L quart. 1t is said that Il
Great American has been grown four

such a berry, il of regular shape,
would be ninety-seven times as heavy
as oue one-inch il, diameter, and would
weigh over twelve ounces, while the
heaviest berry yet grown weighed but
about three. The fact is, these large
berries are shapeless mOnstrosities, and
these measurements are taken over and

His Last Dollar.

Recently stranger might have been
noticed standing in the rear Of the Mint, IN
Carson. watching an old woman pick up
sticks. She must have been about eighty
wears of age. Her old calico dress was full
of holes. her face was as wrinkled as tripe
and as brown as leather. Every time she
stopped to pick up a stick she was obliged
to do so with painful effort. She raked
over the dry leaves with palsied hands,
and all the worthless little trinkets went
into her basket a heap of garbage ana
ashes occupied her attention for some ten
minutes. The man who was watching her
finally walked up behind her, dropped
dollar into her basket and then stole softly
away unnoticed. An attache OF the Mint,
who was near, hailed him as he passed.

Another method has been brought for
ward BIZ an English inventor for pro-
t4cting IRON from corrosion, the cost oil
the process being given as about one
third that Of coat of paint, one-tenth
that of elec ro-plating with nickle, and
one-twen ieth that Of the ordinary op-
Grafton of printing and gliding; it can
also be colOred in a variety Of ways.
The articles to be protected are coated
with a thin film or borate Of lead, con-
tanning little cuprOus oxide in solu,
ton, and bright scales OF precipitated
platinum in suspension. They are then
heated t. redness, and become covered
with thin, CLASSY, bright coat of grey
color, similar in appearance to polished
iron. Iron treated according to this
method is said to be 'plantinized,"
and among the advantages claimed for
il over other protecting processes Is
that it is unaffected by sewer gas, di!nt'
acids and alka.ies and ordinary iiIe
heat.
