After Twenty Years.

A strange burial tooA place at tal-
luyra, on the Amboy division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, short distance
from New York, last Tuesday, when
the bodies of three children, who had
been dead number of years, were
laid to rest in the cemetery in that viii
lage 1t seems that some twenty years
ago child of Mr.. Henry Coy died, and
the father, being unwilling to have the
child buried, had the remains sealed up
in bronze casket, whi3h he stored
away in a room in his residence. A
year later two more of his children
died, and they were put in caskets and
disposed of as the first ono was. All
attempts to induce the father to have
the remains buried failed. In all his
travels through the country the bodies
were taken with the family. He at
one time lived at Camden, where he
manufactured doctors instruments,
and had been resident of Philadelphia
aud other places He finally settled
one and half miles from Palmyra
where he died recently at the age of
sixty one years. He was very &C.
centric man, and was unwilling to
make the acquaintance of any one near
him. 1t is stated that he would sit for
hours in the room with the caskets
anH seemed to take pleasure in being
with them.

The Milton ElOpenent.

The report Of the elopement Of the
wife of William n. Lank with John
Robinson, a journey carpenter,
turns out to be true. What could have
prompted Mrs. l.. to take such rash
step cannot be devined. She had been
married about ten years, had one child
some ten years of age, was treated
kindly by her husband, and lived in a
very comfortable manner. There had
been no quarrel and no apparent cause
to render her dissatisfied. Her depart.
ure therefore came like thunder clap,
when the sky is without a cloud, upon
her husband who has broken up his
household, and gone to live with his
mother. The loss of his little daughter
is one Of his principal grievances as
she was carried off by the eloping par
ties. 1t is said that Robinson is em-
ployed at one of the shops in this city,
and it is supposed that Mrs. L. is also
residing here,

The emulous City o. St. Louis is not
sharing the prosperity enjoyed by Chi
cago and st. Paul this spring. Emmi-
grafton to the Southwest has been light
this season aud the dssolation caused
BY overhows Of that vast valley region
tributary to this city is more serious
and sweeping In its influence, than
many suppose. Merchants who have
not been swept out have not been able
to make collections and give prompt
pay ments with fresh orders for goods.
Indeed its proportions amount al
most to . national calamity. The vast
average Of that fertile old valley and its
tributaries produce no small part Of the
staple products that go into the bal.
alce sheet, showing our national
wealth.

that The waters may subside in time

ture years. The theorists are busy as
ever with their yagaries and plans of
how best to spend the new Congress

vent future inundations. Some want
more and higher levees or dikes others
claim that the bed Of the river Is gr ad-
ually rising and that the channel must
De deepened with little additional
width which will carry Off the floods.
A third plan is to create artificial
basins or lakes at stated distances on
either side into which all surplus may
be turned, and thereby good stage of
water may be insured for all summer.
A further suggestion Is to cut two ca
nails, one on either side running parallel
with the river to the sea. We think
the best plan is to leave 1t to the Mis-
sissippi River improvement Co.
The recuperative energy OF this peo.

We were In Wilmington last Friday
evening and Deputy Clerk of the Peace
Osborne entic,M us to Foreps ugh's show
where the lion roared and the vendsr
of peanuts was mourning ut the rate OF
Ave cents mourn. We saw dreadful
things in that circus, and we shall not
trust ourselves alone and unprotected In

Gus there. We heard the same joke
that our grandfather used to tell about
hearing At . circus when he was q little
boy, and the clown told 1t just like it
was fresh and new. 1t Is strange how
1t could keep fresh all that time. 1t
must have been canned. But the clown
is young man and maybe he will get
a new joke before he dies. There was q
haldheadsd ring master who could lie
with more grace, ease and dignity than
any other baldheaded ring master We
ever saw. There was a man who rode
o bicycle up and down . spiral stair
way from the ground to the top of the
tent. 1t is called q great feat. The
going up may be hard but anybody
could do the coming down business.
We could do it ourself, but We are not
certain whether we or the bicycle would
get down first. There was girl who
rode q bicycle, too, across a wire, with
~ much ease as she can draw her sal.
ary. There were fellows up in the air
who hung on ropes and threw each 9th
or back and forth until our head got
dizzy and we felt as weak as the lemon.
ade that man was peddliIg around
the tent Then girl came out on the
back of a "tisry, untamed steAd." She
WAS dressed in brief attire and standing
upon one pretty foot she pointed the
other at twelve o'clock, at which hour
we turned away our head and asked
Osborne to take us out. We could

but we saw through the base subter-

had left us because he thought that If
