PETRIFACTI0N.
4 Vermont Man Claims to Have Met a
Genuine Case.
Boston Globe

The exhibition some years ago in our
vicinity of what was claimed to be the
remains of gigantic form, petritied,
under the name of the Cardiff Giant"
together with Professor Stillman's ex-
posure of what he asserted was gigan-
tic fraud occasioned considerable de-
bate among our rustic scientists as to
the possibility Of the human body turn
ing to stone. Being by no means a firm
believer, nor yet utterly incredulous, l
made, at the expense of some labor and
time, an investigation into case of
which | had heard, with the following
results:
Mrs. George Bennett, of Waterford, in
Cal, donia county, VT, died on the Sd
day of September, 1854, after only four
or five days of sickness. of inflammation
of the stomach and bowels, and was bur
led on the 9th of the same month. In
Waterford. She was large woman,
weighing over 200 pounds, and SO Pc
culiarly shaped as to her shoulders and
the height OF her chest and bosom as to
be easily recognized by those who had
ever seen her. After eighteen years, or
in the autumn of 1872, it being DESTROYS
to remove her body to the cemetery
of this place, her remains were dug up.
A son of hers, George Bennett, Jr., Mr..
Luther Green, Orange Ladd, Walter Re-
mick and another, all respectable farm
ers in Waterford, and Mr.. Green hav-
ing charge of the'cemet ery at this place,
performed the office.
The coffin was found to have been
almost entirely decayed. except the
bottom and part of the sides, and filled
with water. the hands and feet and a
portion Of the head of the remains were
gone, but what was left was found to be
stone, resisting light blows Of a shovel
and giving forth the ringing sound of
rock, very similar to that gwen by the
Cardiff Giant" when struck by a ham
mer and with the professional screw
driver. The color was very nearly that
of granite, and almost as hard. Upon
raising her from her resting-place, it
was found to require the united strength
of the whole six men, and the burden
was estimated to weigh between 400
and 500 pounds. When placed in box
already prepared, it again required the
whole strength to raise and place it in
an express wagon for removal. She
now lies in our cemetery, buried only
about eighteen inches in depth. / ask
ed Mr.. Luther Green whether there
was any possibility ofthere having been
an image substituted for the body. He
replied that there was not; that he was
well conversant with her form; that he
assisted in preparing her for the grave
when she died; that she was in no de-
gree emaciated, and that if ever Mrs.
George Bennett lived, those were her re-
remains. He, as well as the others, is
ready to make oath to all that have
written down. These are facts, Mr..
Editor, Prof. Stilman, or our eminent
state geologist, Hon. H. A Cutting, to
the contrary notwithstanding.

A YOUNG DUKE.
The Lad OF twenty-five Who Has Sud-
denly Become Duke With 100000
Pounds Sterling a Year.


1t is an inestimable advantage for the
future possessor of the purse of For

highest dignities of the peerage, TO
have the training of a simple commoner
This has only fallen to the lot of three
dukes of the United Kingdom. His
Grace of Bedford was plain Mr.. Russell;
the Duke of Devonshire was unadorned
Mr.. Cavendish, when he became
second wrangler at Cambridge; and the
new Duke of Portland was, fortnight
ago, Lieut.. Cavendish Bentinck, of the
Coldstream Guards. In none of these
cases was the inheritance of the
family honors surprise. In each the
fortunate individual had some reason
to congratulate himself on being born
actually in the purple. The wonder in
this country is not that so small, but
that so large percentage of the titled
aristocracy rise superior to the enervat-
ing and mischievious condition OF their
station. From the first dawn of con-
seriousness the heir to peerage Is pur-
sued by parasites and toadies. The
atmosphere which he breathes is inn
pregnated with the mean incense of
adultation. AT the public school

civilized, it causes deformity, and pre-
vents the free play of the human in

from the demoralzing ordeal. This is

whom they are surrounded, but to their
lack of imagination. Their attendants

WINTER In FRANCE.
A Remarkable Season in the City of Par.
is-Strugglng Against the Cold.

For over fortnight Paris has been as
cold place to live IN as Chicago in any
month of the year. 1t is veritable
st. Petersburg, snowbound in all parts,
with frozen water mains, and gas almost
a thing of the past. The Seine was long
since entirely frozen over. Sea gulls
from the north have come into Paris in
search of food and warmth, and crows
can be seen picking, like common spar
rows, in the Rue de Rivoli. The snow,
III two or three days at the beginning
of the month, fell until it reached q lev
ell of full fifteen inches. Then it froze
hard, and is now being slowly carted
away. Coal, and "cordwood,p as we
would call it at home. commanded fab
ulous prices; and meats and vegetab ,es
grew more and more scarce. Few peo-
pie can afford to burn as much fuel as
they could wish, and SO to them the
present season in Paris means simply
one of misery and well nigh starvation.
While We tourists are struggling despe-
rately against the cold, there are thous-
ands of families struggling desperately
against both cold and hunger. The fin
gers of the poor seamstress are frozen
so stiff that she can no longer hold her
needle, and the cold wind rushes in
through the cracks of her dreary room
until her whole body Is frostbitten unto
death. There is nothing to be seen by
travellers, save only at the theaters, and
there is nothing on the boards now
worth describing. All the galleries are
closed, and will remain shut up until
know not when,n can find out. One
caunot look at the pictures OF the
grand old masters IN the Louvre, or
gaze with admiration on the beautiful
Venus de Milos, because the doors have
been officially locked, and no one dare
to open them until that same official,
whoever he may be, gives his consent.
The exquisite modern paintings in the
Luxembourg are as distant from Paris,
practically, rs though they were in far
off Greenland. The gardens at Yer.
sailles are ovorfiowing with beautiful
snow" so that one can see nothing at
that famous place except the ground
enveloped In its "yirginal winding
Sheet" which, while it hides all impuri-
ties, as certainly covers up all the beau
ties of the place. We can see nothing;
we can go nowhere, and we are most
miserable, all of us. Almost every
American have seen is homesick. If
we could find no warmer weather on
your side of the big pond we would GER
tainly find less discomfort. Here it IS
impossible to warm up ones room, no
matter how much of coal or how many
sticks of wood one uses. 1t is scorch in
front and freeze at the back, while out
oido III frost Trims with an aappr air ,;
and makes life almost insupportable.

mission in petty department clerk
! shin, But when the citizen comes to
Washington himself, the mystery is
solved. He may not be abe to define
them clearly, but he cannot stay long in
the city without experiencing in some
measure those subtle influences which
render the capitol so attractive to the
| permanent resident. Even to the cas-
uai visitor there is something very in
teresting about merely watching the
great government machine or inspect
ing lis component parts. The very at
1nosphere of the capital, instinct with
the official and social life that centers
about the seat of governmental a great
! nation, seems to possess a peculiar
charm, which disposes one to linger and
enjoy it. The stranger no longer won
ders that the otiice-holder likes Wash
| ington, that he constantly schemes for
| an extension of his term, that, if finally
deposed from power, he so often prefers
the most humble position here to res
| idence elsewhere.
Not the least among Washington's
charms are its physical and climatic adj
vantages. No one can longer doubt that
the city is fit to be the capital of great
country. The comprehensive plan on
which it was laid out in the early years
of the struggling Republic gives one a
fresh respect for those far-sighted faith
ers who could even then devise scheme
which should to-day fit the necessities of
the seat of government Tor 100000 of
people, and be capable of equal devel-
opment with the progress OF the nation
hereafter.
The broad avenues are a constant
source of delight, the parks and squares
are ample for the needs of large city,
and the great system of improvements,
carried through with whatever corrup-
ton under the Shepherd regime laid the
basil tor the transformation of WASH
ington from a struggling and neglected
town to handsome metropolis. Moth
goes farther to justify the choice of this
locality as the capital tina its climate.
Though it suffers from the summer
heats, Us temperature during by far the
larger portion of the year is most COM
Portable, and the change from the in
clement weather, which prevails over
the greater portion of the country
through the winter months to the balmy
air of the capital is especially grateful.
Indeed, as a winter residence Washing
ton possesses greater charms than any
other city on the continent, what with
its mild weather, its exceptional social
advantages and the attractions which
the meeting of congress presents to any
one interested in studying our system
of government at its fountain-head.
Every year the capital is becoming
more and more the winter head. quar-
tiers for people of leisure, for persons of
literary tastes, for students of politics,
for devotees of fashion, and composite
society is gradually growing up in which
everybody is sure to find congenial ele-
ments

Dried Annles.

A writer in an exchange grows en-
thusiastic over dried apples, and tells
how they should be cooked: "After
tine apples are well washed and rinsed
in at least two waters, place them in a
porcelain kettle or tin pan; fill the YES
sci nearly full of cold water; this, how
ever must depend on the size OF the
vessel and the quality of the apples.
Let them very gradually come to boil
ing keeping them covered tightly. AS
soon as they are boiling put in as much
sugar as you think will be required. /
generally use about q teacupful to a
quart of apples measured before being
washed. Keep a tea kettle full of
boiling water always ready when you
are cooking, and while the apples are
stewing add boiling water from time to
time, as it is needed. Boil them slow
ly and steady until tender. but not
until they seem to shrink up and turn
dark. If you use white or brown
sugar and don't add spices and don't
mash the apples into an unsightly
mass, and have plenty of juice, with
sugar enough to make it rich but not
to deaden its taste of the apple, and
serve up while fresh, you can have a
dish good enough for anybody to eat,
and something better than half the
canned fruit in use. The evapora1ed
apples are better than the dried. They
should be covered with cold water and
only let simmer ten minutes. They
are not in general use, and are of high
price. ! must not omit to mention
that the juice Of nicely stewed apples
is delicious beverage for the sick. and
possesses a flavor That is peculiarly re-
freshing and grateful, especially where
there is fever"

Taken in by Land shark.

A good story is told about Farmer
Treadway, of Carson, and Senator Sha-
ron, in the Carson appeal, as follows:
The writer has never seen this story in
print, but it is so good that it ought to
have been, and may have been years
age for all he knows. Sharon once
built saw-mill on some government
land, and ran II three years with gov
eminent timber. This was in early
times, and woodsawyers were not a.
ways particular to sec Ire a proper
title. After saving all the wood in
sight, Sharon abandoned the mill, and
Immediately Farmer Traadway, who
had an eye on the property, entered
the land in the regular way and came
down on it like a thousand of brick
with q United States patent. Presently
Sharon began moving the machinery OF
the mill, when Treadway served him
with a notice to keep his hands off.
Sharon paid no attention to the old
farmer, and the next thing he knew he
was sued for IS 5000. Treadway showed
his documents all correct, and the jury
awarded damages in full. After the
suit Treadway walked up to Sharon
and remarked: "Bill, you may be
pretty good at mimi, but you're -
shiftless land shark. | amt much on
quartz lodges, but when it comes to
realities I'm terror. No hard feelin,
Bill? No hard feelin', hope? ?" The
crowd reared, and Sharon good
naturedly set up the drinks.
