miserable creature, and never was after

| years he was dying as slowly and surely,
and with as much torture, as the most
| refined cruelties of human invention
might have produced. Opiates? OF
course oplaties were administered, but

had waned, and when, rushing upon him
like wolves OF torture, made ravenous

veil of insensbility and tupged at his

ing. The time shortly came when he
no longer lay in his bed, but sitting in
his invalid chair became the enthroned
embodiment OF soul too miserable for
lie, too sacred TO be freed by other
hands. So he sat, year after year, with
his muscles fixed in iron, his eyes look
ing upon world as dreary as misery
could paint it, his voice sinking in his
throat, only to be expelled by hunted
nature in wild and piteous cries when
the pain racked into hopeless cowardice

ment. Every joint in his body became
ossiiied by the chalky deposits, and not
even movement that provoked death
less agony became possible. Even the
Joints of his neck became rigid, the
fingers stiff. and the limbs petriied. He
was stone frame with a covering of
flesh and the soul of a living man. The
muscles of the eve even failed, and the
ids falling upon the weary balls shut
in forever the darkness that was about
him like the gloom of the grave. Then
came, with the same step of measured
eternity, the ossitication of the Joints of
the jaw, and he was fed between the
rigid teeth. How slowly death moved
cannot be described, but when the in
fammation had seized the heart in that
last prolonged spasm, nature could no
longer give warning of its agency. What
tortures took place under the drawn
curtain of that human mystery can no
more be told than the secrets of those
horrors in the lowest dungeons of the
inquisltion. Death came, but it was
like the fading Of the mist-line into the
clouds, and as we stood about that chair
no one dared to utter his thought-no
one could tell whether the soul still
lurked in the prison, or whether death
was life or life was death. When he
was buried his fixed limbs were broken
with hammers, in order that he might |

How Texas Cattle are utilized.

There are beefpacking establishments
at Rockport and Fulton, Texas, both of
which places are in the center of cattle
ranges, in which at least 100000 beeyes
are slaughtered every year Every part
of the beef is utilized, even TO the tufts
of the tails, which are preserved and
sold for the making of ladies' frizzettes.
The blood flows into tanks and is pressed
and is sold at 2 cents a pound for the
making of fertilizers. The tongues and
lean beef are boiled and canned. The
hides are sailed and sold again. The
fatty matter is extracted and goes 10 tai.
low. The bones are boiled TO pulp to
extract this fatty matter, and the dry
bones, mainly phosphate of lime, are
sold at | cent a pound for fertilizing.
The feet are cut of, and from the hoofs
neats-ioot oil is extracted. The h5iny
part of the foot, the shin-bone and
knuckle-bones, are sold for the manu-
iacture of domestic ivory. The horns
are piled up until the pith becomes
loose, and this is added TO the fertilizers,
and the horns are sold for manufacture.
Every atom of the animal is probably
used.

Gold for India.
Pail Mall Gazette.

At time when some alarm has been
excited in commercial circles by the
possibility of drain OF bullion TO Amer
lea, it Is worth notice that f250O0 in
gold has just been taken out OF the bank
for shipment TO India. Our attention Is
so often called to the fact that India has
silver currency and imports large
quantities of that metal that we are dis
posed to ignore her capacity for absorb
ing gold. And yet India annually inn
ports an amount of the more precious
metal, which bears sensible proportion
TO the productions Of the world. During
the ten years ending with 1875, when
the relative value of gold to silver was
little affected. the total net imports of
treasure into India amounted 10 just
fl00, 100000, of which G36,000000, or
more than one-third, was in gold, being
at the rate of e3,5O0,000 year. During
the same period of ten years the pro-
duction of all the gold mines of the
world is estimated to have averaged
about 100000 ounces year, or say
f24 100000. That India, without gold
currency, should thus have appropriated
more than one-eighth of the total pro-
duction sounds incredible. What she
does with the gold is almost as difficult
to unders and. The larger portion n ust
be converted into ornaments and jewell
ry, but probably much is hoarded in the
form of sovereigns. When Bombay was
reaping her cotton harvest at the crisis
of the American war, calculation was
published to the effect that 100000
sovereigns were boarded in that Presi-
de1cy alone, where the impression of st.
George and the dragon is especially
valued for religious purposes.

BISHOP A. CLEVELAND COKE vehement
ly denounces the Passion play at Ober-
Ammergau. "At best,' he says in the
Independent, what is it but fearful
materlalizing of what we are to behold
by faithr Is it conceivable that st. Paul
would have acted in such scene at that
of Ober-Ammergau? Over the awful
scene itself the Almighty drew down a
veil. Three hours did Mercy hide the
suffering Redeemer from those who
cIucified him. For those who rend that
veil and gaze upon the mimic spectacle
let me say, heartily, They know not
