A LIVELY CORPSE. There's a man who il
a,o,loraJ - Aha 1orar mort of fo,un xvho
when sober, is the prince of fellows and al
that, but unfortunately he is not unlike toe
many others, and frequently goes upon sprees,
and these always, of late, end in his having a
ium tremens. His last trip in that direction
turned the tables on him in a new field. He
didn't see any snakes; he wasn't being swal-
lowed by anacondas or alligators and such
other pleasant apparitions and life like expe-
riences as are familiar to the minds of old
soakers, but the building ne was in-his cas-
tle-"went back on him." He had drank
until he knew in his heart Of hearts that he
was in for renewed conflict with the powers
of darkness, and as new departure to avoid
past experiences, he repaired to his room and
went to bed, determined to quietly sleep off
all approach of trouble. But it was no use.
His satanic highness didn't propose to be
robbed of his fruits in any such way. The
first the quiet sleeper knew the building
began to go to pieces, at least to him, and
he saw, with intensified perception of vision
and acuteness of sensation, the upper portion
of the side walls of the building spread out
and fall, and the roof came down upon him
with its whole weight, and held him fast and
crushed to death. He set up scream which
conveyed all the horror of mind which he ex-
perienced, and an officer, supposing a whole
neighborhood was being murdered, rushed to
his room and sought the cause. He found
the victim, who told him the roof had fallen
upon him and he was dead. The officer tried
to persuade him that he was mistaken, and
that he wasn't dead, but it was useless. He
continued to tell the whole neighborhood,
with dsafening screams, that he was crushed
to death. and that he had vacated his earthly
tabernacle. He was removed to the city jail
and there continued the same story, and in
every look and gesture felt all that ne told.
Finally he imagined that he was about to be
taken possession of by the Coroner. and it
seemed to trouble him little at first, but
after a time he said, "Well, it's all right
tell the Coroner to come and get me-Im
dead" After warfare of four or five days
he passed from death to life again, and now
declares, upon his vivid memories of the past,
that he never again will voluntarily submit
himself to be sat upon by the Coroner.
