A Talking Corpse.

Not many days ago corpse was
placed IN the baggage car Of one Of the
Central trains at Syracuse, consigned
to Buffalo. The car was we'll hlled, and
away back in one corner was slowed
very talkative parrot that was travelling
to a point beyond Buffalo. In front Of
the parrots cage was piled express
matter SO high as TO nearly close the
bird in. Every thing moved right un-
til the train reached Rochester. There
a change of train gangs was made TO
run through TO Buffalo, and a new bag
gageman took possession of the car
containing the corpse and the parrot.
Before the train had moved very far
out of the Central depot, and while the
baggageman was busy arranging his
papers, voice from one end OF the car
moaned Let me out, it's hot The
baggageman VINO had noticed the box
containing the colin, directed his
vision toward that object, and stood for
q moment in blank amazement, wonder
ing whether his ears had deceived him.
But he did not wait long, for the words
were repeated In more mournful tones
than before. The frightened man left
the car in one bound, and linding the
conductor, said Hank they've got a
live man in the coffin; como and help
get him outn The conductor accom-
panied the baggageman TO his car, and
soon succeeded in convincing him that
the corpse was not as lively as tho
parrot. ---Ittaoa On ID Journal.

called upon Virgil carp and from

OF the trip:

Virgil carp and his brother Nor.
gan carp were joined at Helms

Behan, "Buokskin Frankn Leslie,

up the trail Of Crane and Head, the
latter having several days the start
Of them, and having, moreover, the
additional advantage of about eight
fresh horses, which they had stolen
from Helms ranch, including Bob
Archer's racer. The trail was fol.
lowed into the Sulphur Spring val
ley, through which the robbers
passed, crossing the Chiricahua
mountains near Fort Bowie, in the
direction OF San Simon. Knowing
that tina murderers would head for
the latter section, and desiring to
gain "a much time as possible, the
pursuers left the trail in Sulphur
Spring valley and took = ''sh0rt
cut" for Galeyviile, In California
District.
Here they learned thattw Of the
gang had q ranch 1t place known
as Cloverdale Springs, In south
western New Mexico. Judging
that they would naturally make for
this, the posse ct once set out for
the locality. The 1lrst point they

they pushed ahead about fifty

1t was determined that Behan, Les.

provisions and water for Paul and

them about 8 o'clock ct night.
They had been four days and half

the only morsel Of food which had
passed their lips was o solitary

"The relations of an editor with those
to whom he is accustomed to send
monthly messages of cheer and counsel

justify a generous personal confidence.
So we beg our readers to give us their
confidence while we speak for a moment
"To our readers: Know We that the
life OF widower is not a happy one.

owerhood. He has been fortunate
enough to negotiate life partnership
which will hereafter enable him to sit
upon the editorial tripod in blissful
ignorance of the number of garments on
the washing list for the current week,
and the number Of pieces missing. He
shall henceforth be stranger to the
business details of housekeeping. No
more shall he spy the cobweb suspended
from the ceiling; no more shall he at
tempt to boss the seamstress and give
instructions to the cook; no more shall
he have to sit at the hotel dining table,
waiting an hour for cup of coffee.
Per contra, life shall be worth living.
The fires of the domestic happiness shall
be rekindled upon the hearthstone. The
orphan children shall again have the
care and the influence of kind and gen
tie mother. The benign influences of
the home circle shall soon again irradi-
ate the atmosphere Of this long -desolat-
