ALIVE AFTER BURIAL.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 8, 1880.

CHAhLoTFE, IN. VI, may ., 1851.
The following extraordinary story is
published here from Franklinton, over
the signature of Mr.. ]. w. Weaver of
that town. He says Mrs. Martha
Smith, of Chatham, reports remark
able case of suspended animation,
burial resurrection in the person of a
married lady in that county, who pos
sessed gold watch and finger rings
which she often expressed a desire to
have buried with her whenever she
should die. Finally she was taken Ill
and her life seemed to gradually ebb
away untilher attending physician pro-
nounced it extinct. At her burial
her previously expressed desire was
complied with, and the second night
after tho interment white man and a
negro went to the grave and exhumed
her for the purpose of obtaining the
buried jewelry. AS they took the lid
off the coffin and the negro began pull
ing off ring from her finger she raised
up. At this both men took fright and
ran away. Finally the negro went
back and she asked him what he want
ed. He told her lie wanted her rings
and the white man her watch. She
requested to see the white man, whom
the other soon found and brought to
her. She requested him to go home
it'll her. He did so, and when she
reached the door she knocked. Her
husband opened the door, but tainted
when he saw her, thinking it was his
dead wlfe's ghost. Mrs. Smith says
The lady is now living and bids fair to
attain good old age, and that she
visits and is visited by her frequently.

NARROW ESCAPE OF AN EMIGRANT
STEAMER WITH 900 SOULS ON BOARD.
On the morning of April 20, the Cum
ard steamship Samaria, Captain Mou-
land, sighted Q steamship with the Dan
ish ensign flying at half mast. Captain
Mouland's vessel bore up to the distress
ed steamer, which proved to be the
Thingvalla, Of Copenhagen, Captain
Molsen. The Danish vessel had met
with an accident to her propeller. The
pin-bolt, which held one Of the blades of
the fan, had slipped, aud the enormous
mass Of iron, being loose oil the shaft,
had not only rendered the screw useless
Out had disabled her steering gear. In
the neighbordood Of the vessel large
icebergs were seen, and the Cunarder's
Captain took cha &c Of the work of help

Vas chained to. the rudder post to pre-
vent 1t moving. Two 150-fathom haw-
sers were sent to the Thingval,a by
means of floats, and the Samaria took
the vessel in tow. For the next forty
hours the weather continued pleasant,
but toward night on Friday last a gale,

the gale the starboard hawser parted,
the chains which bound the propeller to
the rudder post snapped, and the loose
blade OF the fan, again loose upon the
shaft, acted os q dangerous ram. The
mass Of iron, four IONS in weight, hav
ing play OF three feet OIL the shaft, was
driven with frlghtful violence against
the rudder-post or, as the motion of tie
vessel admitted against the hull. The
alarm among the 800 passengers of the
Danish steamer was great. II was ne
cessary to draw the shaft, which gradual
ly tapers towards the end, into the ves-
sci, and allow the mass OF iron which
had broken loose to fall of into the sea.
The Hibernia, of the Auchor Line,
twelve years ago attempted in the same
way to rid itself of useless propeller,

board surviving the attempt. In hauling

for the water to enter aud The utmost
care is necessary. II by any chance the

the Thingvalla, again safely in the tow
of the Samaria, arrived in Boston on
Wednesday.

STORY FOR THE COMING "YoUNa
MAN FROM THE COUNTRY" TO READ.
John d ollinger, who hailed New
Y ork street car, on Tuesday evening,
and was discovered, after he had faint
ed, to be bleeding from a shot wound
in his right side, remains in critical
condition in Roosevelt Hospital. In
the horse car he denied that he had
shot himself, and said that some one
else had shot him. Yesterday he com
planned that because he did this to hide
the fact from passengers in the car
that he had attempted suicide, the man
who made him confess in the hospital
that he had shot himself called him in
the harshest way liar. 81 was con-
fused in the horse-car," he said, "and
didn't want to own that had tried to
shoot myself" Continuing, he said
that his name is John Dollinger, and
that he came from Hartford, Conn a
year ago, and took clerks position
at a small salary i'll this city. He was
not strong, and from 7 a. m. to 10 D.
m. he was kept at counter. He had
been well educated, and he was sensi-
tive. His habits were good, and, as
he did not have any Of the small vices
fashionable among young clerks, he
had no society. He says that he may
have been too sensitive, and that he
ought to have been able to submit to
a dominee ring employer but he could
not do that, so he started for a new
situation. All day long he answered
advertisements cut from newspapers,
but no one wanted boy of his deli
cate appearance. In his motel book
were pages of addresses from adver-
tisements for help. His money gave
ou', and he stayed one night at one ac-
quaintance's house, and then at anoth-
er. But he felt that his welcome was
at last worn out, and on Monday night
he slept in an uptown park. When
asked why he shot himself in the side,
instead of in his head, he said that he
did not want to disfigure his face, and,
furthermore, he wanted to put fresh
cartridge in his revolver after he had
shot himself, so that those who found
him would think that some one else
shot him. If he had shot himself in
the head he could not have done it,
through the concussion. The young
man suffers intensely, and does not
seem to care to recover. 81 never
thought much of living any way" he
said, and then moaned, "Oh, what
will poor mother think of this ?"

returns to the charge by way Of rejoin-
der. We do not see that he adds any
thing to the cogeney ofhis argument
He says that unlimited re-eligibiiity has
been in the constitution for nearly a
hundred years, and that NO harm has
resulted. That is brcause the pow er
has never been exercised. II has lain
dormant from the beginning. No
President has ever been elected n third
time, or has ever sought or consented TO
receive third election. Until the late
President came 10 have such aspirations
re-eligibility for third term was una l.
mously regarded by the American people
as 4 thing not to be thought OF, and the
part Of the CO stitution permitting II
was deemed dead letter. 1t has here
tofore worked no mischief because IL
was practically abrogated by uniform
precedents, by long usage and bv the
settled public opinion { { the county.
In the next generation, afler the
decisive precedents were set limiting the
Presidency to two terms, there
arose Q strong public opinion against

most Idolized leader of the democratic
party In that second generation, re
commended in his first message an
amendment TO the constitution prohibit
ing any President to serve more than
one term. Clay, the equally idolized
leader Of the whig party in that genera
tlon, was the strenuos and persistent
advocate OF q similar amendment. De
Tocqueville, whose great work was
written in the same period had chapter
on re-eiigibilty, in which he set forth
with great clearness the arguments
against re-election-substatin the
same arguments employed by Mr.. Clay.
In the generation which followed the
subject had ceased to attract any notice.
For the long period Of thirty-two years
between the secUnd election Of Jackson
In 1882 aud the second election of Lin
coin IN .e64 no President had been re-
elected, the people seeming to have rem
dered a constitutional barrier unnecessary.
Perhaps the question nigh. never lave
been revived IL the ambition of the ex-
President had not again forced IL upon
public attention.
We do not recollect whether our third
term correspondent was member Of the
New York Republican State Convention
OF 1876 which passed a strong resolution

GREAT GUNs-AsToUNDING INvEN-
TIoNs.-Dr. J. Ii. Mclean, of St.
Louis, is about to Astonish the world
by introducing a new system of firearms
that he claims will be the greatest peace
makers that have ever existed, since by
their very force they will render the
conquest of nations impossible. He de-
clares that in very Ihor: time he could
arm Mexico with bis great guns SO COM
pletely as to enable her to defend her
self against all the iron clads in the
world. He gave an exhibition of four
or five of his guns at New Haven, on
Saturday afternoon, the result of which
exceeded anything ever known. DR..
Mclean said with one of his 1o0-ton
guns he could throw shells twenty
miles.
"One small gun, named the General
Sherman, was mounted on light car
riage, which was Ornamented with nickel
platings. This gun is loaded by hand,
but it has been discharged at the rate OF
eleven times in sixteen seconds and has
proved effective in experiments at the
distance Of one mile. In the breech of
the gun there is mechanism which causes
the firing bolt to cock every time the
piece is discharged. "The Annilator, y
completed the array of large arms
Around the room were, however, Der.
al torpedoes, and a shotgun, breect
loading, of very novel kind, capabls
of being fired 1913 times without reload
ing, stood against the wall. The batter,
gun has twelve barrels, and magazinel
contain several hundred charges. TIL,
capacity for firing is $50 per minute
On the same plan Of this gun 10 tn,
"Pulverizer," which fires 1900 shots De
minute, and the "Lady Mclean" firip,
1000 per minute. The distinctive fea
; ture is that the magazines are located OF
either side OF the deadly tubes, so tha
the supply Of charges is continuous
The gunner has simply to move smal
lever. Appliances make the adjustmen,
at any ang lie very speedy, and it is st
arranged that the entire gun may bt
