Nature Making Mummies.
lFrom the Phoenix "a. T.) Gazette.

tEIoh Gie fASSulA Ia LII OaHotte.
The remark 80 often made and heard
in Arizona about dead bodies drying up
and blowing away, received a pretty
strong verifcation at the refinement of
Dan. Dietrich to-day Although death
had occurred nearly eight months ago,
and the body had been buried only in
blankets, every feature was distinct and
perfect, and any one who had known
Dan during his lifetime would at once
recognize them. The hair appeared to
have grown since his death, and still re-
tanned it's natural color. No unpleasant
odor was perceptible, and one might
easily have supposed he was examining a
we'll preserved mummy. Since the first
interment the body only shrunk and
dried up, and no sign of decay could be
found save in the region of the stomach,
and that was due more to the fact of that
portion of the body having been opened
during the post-mortem examination
than to natural causes The body had,
however, in that time lost over two
thirds of its weight, dwindling from lao
pounds to less than SO pounds This re-
markable state of preservation III our
hot, dry climate and soil is by no means
uncommon, as many present could cite
similar instances of 1t.

An Old Landmark in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati is losing one of it's Oldest
and most noted landmarks. The owners
of the property southeast cornerof Third
street and Broadway are tearing down
the once famous building known as the
Bazaar, built by Mrs. Frances Trollope
half century ago, during her soiourn of
three years in the United States. She
designed it for what its name implies;
but its erection was an error of judg-
ment, and she lost some 800, 900 by it.
1t was long used for balls, fairs and pub
lie occasions, and by its quaint appear
ance, being of grotesque, southeastern
pattern, attracted much attention, and
was one of the curiosities of the city in
the grst half of the century. Before the
civil war 1t was connected with hotel,
and remained part of it for good
while. But now it is, contrary to the
wishes of many of the citizens fond of
our kind of antiquity, rapidly undergoing
demolition, and will soon have disap-
peared completely Many Cincinnatians
still remember when it was built, and
what high hopes were entertained
of it and its aesthetic usefulness.
Tt was once considered the finest
structure west of the Alleghenies,
and persons whose hair has now worn
gray recall the time when, as children,
they went to school in the bazaar, and
frolicked in the round tower and on the
promenade on the roof. Cincinnati has
always believed that much of the ILL
nature which Mrs. Trollope showed to-
ward this country in her Domestic
Manners of the Americans" published
after her return to England, was engen-
dered by financial loss in her imprudent
enterprise. That work, caused great
commotion in the republic then. 1t
contained considerable truth, although
it was unamiable and highly exaggerated.
We are not SO sensitive now to English
or to any European criticism, for we are
out of our swaddling clothes and willing
that foreigners should think as they
please of our customs and institutions.
Mrs. Trollope's Domestic Manners
and her 40 or so volumes of travels and
novels are entirely forgotten. She is
mainly remembered as the mother of
Thomas Adolphus and Anthony Troll
lope, the writer's of much and varied
fiction

SHOWED UNDER.
BY ELLA wHEELER,

OF thousand things that the Year showed under
The busy Old Year that has gone away
How many will rise in the Spring, wonder,
Bro't to life by the sun of May?
WIN the rose-tree branches, so wholly hidden
IhaE never rose-tree seems to be,
At the sweet Springs call come forth unbidden,
And bud in beauty, and bloom for me?
viii the fair, green Earth, whose throbbing bosom
Is hid like maids in her gown at night,
Wake out of her sleep, and with blade and blossom
Gem her garments to please my sight?
Over the knoll in the valley yonder
The lovoiest buttercups bloomed and grew;
When the snow has gone that drifted them under.
VIII they shoot up sunward, and bloom anew?
When wild winds blew, and sleet-etorm pelted,
lost jewel of priceless worth;
II walk that way when SHOWS have melted
VIII the gem CLEAN up from the bare, brown
earth?
| laid love that was dead or dying,
For the year to bury and hide FROM sight;
But out of a trance viii it waken, crying,
And push TO my heart like "a leaf to the light?
Under the snow lie things so cherished
Hopes, ambitions and dreams of men
Faces that vanished, and trusts that persisted
Never to sparkle and glow again.
The Old Year grcedily graspcd his plumber,
And covered it over and hurried away;
OF the thousand things that no hid. l wonder
How many will rise at the call of May?

Your mantle of ernline, tell me, pray?
