An Electric Freak.

A gentleman from Paris, Tex, gives
the particulars of a strange and thrilling
event connected with the recent storm
which visited that place. While the
cyclone was passing north of the place
the air seemed impregnated with elec-
trlcity. The lightning descended like
an avalanche of destruction, doing
great damage. Trees, houses and per-
sons were destroyed by it. Wallace
Hill, young man, was on his way to
the city in a wagon, and when he
reached the suburbs the storm was at
its height. Suddenly a bolt of light
nlng fell from the clouds above upon
him. He was Instant, killed. Por
tloas of his clothing were stripped from
the body. But the strangest phenome-
non was the fact that branch of a tree
under which he had taken shelter was
photographed across his breast in livid
red. The work was perfectly done, the
branch of the tree showing distinctly,
and the shape and delicate veins in the
leaves being plainly visible. This freak
has occasloned considerable comment in
the neighborhood. d.-LiNle Rock Gazette

DIEIDING THE CANDY,

Sandy and Ned were brothers;
Ned was older than Sandy:
And they were busy dividing
A stick of peppermint candy.
Ned was earnestly trying
TO make the division true.
And he marked the place with a fiSh-hOok
Where the stick ought to break in two
But, alas. for little Sandy
And his poor painstaking brotherl
Twas a long and short division
One piece longer than the other.
Ned gravcly looked at the pieces
And their quite unequal length,
And he wrcsrled with the problem
With all his mental strength.
And, at last, he said: "Oh. Sandy!
can make it come out right,
If take the piece that's longest,
And bite OF just one bite
Their four eyes beamed and frightened
A t this PLAN 81 very handy,
OF diSpOsing of the problem
And distributing the candy.
So Ned ate the pieces even
Twas the simplest way to do it;
And he cheated little Sandy
And they neither of them know it!

"A Petrified Corpse

| c. Clinch, twenty years ago, buried
at Folsom child that i died at the age
Of three years. The little girls body
was placed in a coffin that was inclosed
in zinc and hermetically sealed, and that
in turn placed in the ordinary wooden
grave box. The grave was dug in high
and dry ground. Yesterday Mrs. Clinch
and her daughter went to Folsom to dis
inter the body and bring it to Sacra-
mentoNto be pla ced Ia the family cerne-
terT lot here. They expected TO find
only u Few benes, and took with them a
proper box in which to place them.
Their surprise can be imagined when
they found that the coffin, from which
the grave box had rotted away, was ex-
ceedingly heavy-at least three or four
times as heavy as when placed in the
grave. One small hole, only had rusted
through the zinc. The metal was cut,
and the coffin opened, and the body
found to be completely petrifed. The
child lay before the mother as natural
in form and feature as when consigned
to the grave twenty-one years ago.
The features were perfect, and face,
arms and hands like alabaster. After
exposure to the air short time this per-
feet whiteness changed to light yel-
loWish, Or tint with a shade Of brown.
The body was solid stone, and to the
blow gave response as. would marble.
The clothing was petriied likewise, and
the bouquet Of flowers upon the child's
bosom and little doll that had been
placed in the hollow of one arm were
also turned to stone, as was the hair
also, and indeed everything in the coffin
and about the body. Large numbers of
people viewed the body at Folsom, and
the unanimous Judgment was that more
perfect specimen of petrifcation they
had never seen.- .-Sacra7ae7eto Union.
