Ar the late election for county Of
ficers at Colchester, VT, the ballot
box was placed behind high barri-
cade, go that voters could not see it,
and therefore could not know
whether their ballots were placed in
it. BY the same means the right Of
challenge was practically defeated.
The votes were not counted until
the next day, and the result was not
declared at the town meeting. The
proceedings, taken all together, seem
to have been akin to those in Miss.

interesting Facts.

The tomb of Edward I. who died in
1901, was opened January 2, 1770, after
469 years had elapsed. His body was
almost perfect. Canute, the Dane, who
crossed over to England in 1917, was
found in 1879 by the workmen who re-
paired Winchester Cathedral, where his
body had reposed nearly 75O years, per-
fectly fresh. In 1859, three Roman
soldiers, fully equipped with warlike
implements, were dug out of peat in
Ireland, where they had probably lain
1900 years. Their bodies were perfectly
fresh and plump. In the reign of James
III. of England after the fall of the
Church at Ashley, in Warwickshire,
there was taken up the corpse of Thom-
as Gray, Marquis of Dorset, who was
buried the 10th of October 1880, in the
twenty-second year of Henry VII. !;
and although it had lain there seventy
eight years, the eyes, hair, flesh, nails
and joints remained as though it had
been newly buried. Robert Braybook
who was consecrated Bishop of London
in 1881, and who died in 1494, and was
buried in st. Paul's, was taken out of
the tomb after the great fire in 1866,
during the repairs of the Cathedral and,
although he had lain there no less than
262 years, the body was found to be firm
as to skin, hair, joints and nails. The
Convent, de st. Domingo was lately de-
molished in search of treasure supposed
to be concealed there, and the body of
Prince Rodriguez taken out who had
been buried alive in 1865, exactly as
when placed there 25O years before. His
daughter, two and half years of age,
was lying at her fathers feet and as per-
fectly preserved as himself.

"They are always in danger" said
the reporter.

"They are always in danger" said
the reporter.
" Yes If there's an accident they are
almost sure to be killed They go
through life on faith and by good luck.
One day, several years ago, went for
days hunting in the country and made
arrangements for an engine to be sent
out for me at o'clock. 1t came, and
with three of us aboard, started to make
the run of twenty-five miles an hour
ahead Of the regular train. We got out
mile or two and the headlight flickered
and went down. The engine was stop
ped and the lantern tinkered with, and
we started again. We ran few miles,
and had to stop and tinker with the
confounded lamp again. This time it
covered that the regular train was with
in five minutes of US, and there was 10
side track near. 1t was dark as original
chaos, not star out. The engineer
started carefully, worked the throttle
out gradually, and all of us clinging to
the cab for dear life, the race began. For
all that we could see il was plunge into
space. The engine snorted and rolled,
and fairly flew along the track, until the
welcome light of the home yards fell
upon us. We had run thirteen miles
on pure faith in nine minutes, and the
regular train was an hour and forty
minutes behind time"
Well that was a close shave on
luck 20
Yes; don't want to ride under
pressure again"

On the evening the train bearing the
Sioux delegation reached Washington,
Mrs. Kelly, who was standing with the
crowd in the depot, stepped forward and
addressed one of the principal members
in their native tongue.
They recognized and instantly gathered
about her, as happy as school-children
over the discovery of some lost and
loved schoolmate.
1t was a singular sight, and created q
great deal of interest among the specta-
tors. 1t was evident to all that the
savages held her in the highest esteem.
One of them, some time after, begged
Mrs. Kelly to accompany him to the
theatre and when she kindly declined,
the old warrior wept.
The delegation insisted that she ought
to return with them, pledging to give
her horses and lands, and to bestow
upon her the great honor of making her
Queen of the Sioux.
AS for Jumping Bear, 1t is presumable
that he died of a broken heart long ago.

A CLOSE SHAVE.

HEVER in smash-up ?" asked
IL veteran railroad man laconically
of reporter who was saying that he
felt just as comfortably while riding
sixty miles an hour as he did going
twenty.
=" Never |"
That accounts for your lack of nerv-
business. A child never breads the fire
until he is burned, and so it is with
every kind of danger. There are two
classes of engineers, who are known ON
the road as 6 good runners" and bad
runners" A good runner is always
sent out with special trains and in other
cases where fast time is to be made
He is an engineer who knows the road
and his engine, and will guage the speed
by the quality of the track, taking a
good many chances on safety. l knew
one of these fellows, who was regarded
as the coolest and bravest man in the
business. He would take lightning
special as safely through as another
would a freight. One dark night he
was hauling the night express around a
curve like meteor. A tree had been
blown across the track by a storm, and
he ran upon it before it could be SEEM
The train was smashed and he was bad
ly hurt. He got well in time, and took
his place at work, but lost it, and he
couldn't get passenger train on any
road. The accident killed his " nerve"
and he couldn't take a train through on
even schedule time. He was always
tagging behind time. That is the fate OF
great many. A bad accident to fast
train nearly always spoils good en-.
gineer."

President LincOID's Dream.

TT is not generally known that Presi-
i dent Lincoln once dreamed that he
would be assassinated. While he was
neither professor of religion nor even
fixed in his belief in any particular
creed, still he was fond of reading and
discussing the bible. On Sunday even
ings he invariably read chapter or two
from the Scriptures, and then gave his
explanation of it. One evening at the
White House he read a number of passa-
ges in both the Old and New Testa-
ments relating to dreams, to which Mrs.
Lincoln and the children gave great
attention. He began to chat with them
on the subject of dreams and said he had
for some days been haunted by a dream
he had had. OF course they all wanted
him to tell it, though Mrs. Lincoln said
she didn't believe in dreams in the least
and was astonished at him. So he pro-
ceeded to tell it:
"About ten days ago L retired one
night quite late. I had been up waiting
for important dispatches from the front,
and could not have been long in bed
before fell into slumber, for was very
weary. During my slumber began to
dream. thought that there was great
stiffness about me, and heard weeping.
thought that got up and wandered
down stairs. The same stiffness was
there. AS went from room to room L
heard moaning and weeping. At length
1 came to the end room, which enter
ed, and there before me was a magnif-
cent dais, on which was corpse. Here
there were sentries and crowd of people.
said to one of the soldiers: who is
dead in the White House?' He answer
ed: The President How did he die p
asked. By the hand of an assassin
was the reply. Then / heard great
wailing all over the house, and it was so
loud that it seemed to awake me.
awoke much depressed, and slept no
more during the night. Such was my
dream"
From that time until his sad death
Mr.. Lincoln was haunted by fear of
assassination, and Mrs. Lincoln's first
words after Wilkes Booth shot him, on
the night of April l4th, 1865, were,
His dream was prophetic" The re-
mark was not understood then, but,
when the story of his dream was subse-
quently told, it was explained.
