4 STRANGE STORY.

Recently Mrs. Banks, of Lynch
burg, Mason County, H., was buried,
though some persons present at the
funeral thoughtthey saw signs oflife
in the supposed corpse. A Charles
ton, ILL.,, dispatch to the Indianapolis
Journal gives the sequel as follows
'HThe day after the funeral the grave
was opened and the casket cover re-
moved, when it was seen that the
hands, which had been tied together
and placed upon the bosom, were
lying by the side. Supposing her to
be dead, no further signs of life
being visible, they readjusted the
hands, closed and lowered the casket
and covered up the grave. A few
days later friends persuaded the
husband to have the remains exam
ined again, which he did, and again
found her hands lying by her side,
and, also, her hair dishevelled Still
there seemed no signs fife, and the
third time the body was covered in
the grave. By this time the excite
ment began to intensity in the COM
munity until, on the fourth day
after the burial, the body was again
exhumed and again the same
evidences of protracted life as form
erly were plainly observed. The
body was taken home, medical aid
called, and restorative agencies ap-
piled. The last account we have oi
the case is that the patient is recovr
ering and will probably soon stand
before the world a living example o.
a person who has lain four days il
the grave.

Hayes and the Wine-Cup.

A preacher named Lanahan, the
pastor Of ex-President Hayes
church here, has published a letter
in st. Louis or somewhere else, say
ing Mr.. Hayes is a teetOtaler or to-
tai abstainer, and furiously denies
my frequently published statements
In the Times How does Lanahan
know that Mr. Hayes never drinks
anything? He knows he never saw
him drink-that's all l know q
good many men, and women, too,
just as good as Lanahan, who saws
Hayes does drink. Lanahan, if he
goes at it quietly, can find a score of
people right here in Washington
who have drank wine with Mr..
Hayes, and some, / am sure, who
have drank whisky and brandy with
him. ] will 90 further than this.
If DR.. Lanahan will come TO me i

by Mrs. Hayes herself in the White !
House. Still further, 1 will give

Mr.. Beecher Creates a Sensation
i'm his Sunday Sermon.

NEW York, April A deer
hush fell upon Plymouth Church
yesterday and every ear was strain
ed when Mr.. Beeeher said he would
relate an incident which he had new
er spoken Of before
He remarked playfully that he
would now tell it confdentially.
"There came to me-" he said, "a
member of my own church, the
mother of young woman, who
said her daughter had become fasci-
mated with Roman worship and
wanted to unite with that Church.
/ said to her, tell your child to wait
one year until her own mind and
judgment are settled, and if at the
end of that time she shall find that
she is drawn nearer to God and to
heaven, through that church, let her
come, and we will take her by the
hand and carry her to the door At
the end of the year she was still
anxious to enter that church, and
sat down and wrote a letter to an
honored Catholic pastor of this city,
and said: This lamb has found
greener pastures in your fields than
in mine She joined the Catholic
church and is to-day happy Chris
tan girl in that communion.
Anyone could have heard a pin
drop while Mr.. Beecher was telling
this, and there was what is general
ly called a sensation. He added:
I'D do it again if it were necessary,
for when | spoke of the unity of all
that believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
[ mean it. I do not believe in ex-
ternal unity, but l believe in inter
nal unity"
In this connection the preacher
also said ''I would rather ride in
the most ragged third classed car
that was ever put on a rail if it
would take me nearer home than
n the most luxurious parlor car
hat ever was built if it would take
me further from home"

The high protective tariff journals
of the United States some two or
three years ago predicted the entire

had rendered other countries self

against corresponding totals Of 973,-
640,O00 and G20,61O,O00 in 1879,
showing that the amount used in

LOafing Around the Farm.
from Meals State Gazette

We are told that the country loaf
er has already made his appearance,
much to the disgust and disadvant-
age of the industrious farmer and
his hands. There is a set of young
men in Dyer county who, too lazy
or too rich to work themselves, ride
around the country and stop to talk
to men who are at work in the field,
keeping the hands idle for hours at
a time. These loafers around the
farm should know that sensible and
industrious men regard them as a
great nuisance, and have neither the
time nor inclination to waste hours
with them. A loafer around the
farm is, if possible, a greater draw
back to the community than the
town loafer. Life is too short, time
too valuable and feeting to be stolen
by the remOrseless loafer. There
will never be any great prosperity
in this country until the vagrant law
is enforced against these idlers
around the farm. They are a pest
and an annoyance, breeding discon-
tent and dissatisfaction wherever
their presence is tolerated. Young
man, are you one Of them? If so,
be ashamed of yourself and 90 to
work and if you are too lazy and
trifing to do that, at least quit steal
ing the time of the industrious men
and boys who are the bread-winners
of the land Quit sitting on the
fence.

How the Gar Looked when EN-
baImed,

Sala sends a ghastly description of
the late Cars appearance after the
embalming, as shown by photo
graphs offered for sale in st. Peters
burg. He says: "The features are
seen in profile; the left side Of the
face is exposed. The sparse hair is
carefully brushed from the temples.
The grizzled mustache are carefully
trimmed and kempt. But the eyes
are mere sunken wrecks, and there
seems to have been a dire wound on
the cheek, marks Of which have
been partially concealed by art. The
head reposes on a pillow of white
satin. The body is clothed in the
green uniform tunic of the Preobra-
jinski Guard, with massive epaulets
of gold bullion. The right hand,
partly bent, rests peacefully on the
breast, close to the medallion of some
image sacred to the Russo Greek
communion. But with this head
and torso ends, they say, all that
remains of the mortal coll of Alex
ander II, there being nothing more
of the shattered form for the crafts
men of the old Egyptian mystery to
work their gloomy skill upon.
From the trunk downward the des-
truction caused by the explosion has
been thorough"
