THE JEANNETTE'S DEAD.
Metallic Burial Caskets to he sent to ~.
Petersburg for the Remains Of Lieutenant
DE Long and Party.
New York Herald.

New York Herald
The Secretary of the Navy having re-
solved on the transportation of Leuten-
ant De Long and his comrades TO this
country, the question of the best method
of securing that result has been consider
ed by the officers of the department.
Some weeks since the Metallic Burial Case
Company of this city wrote TO President
Arthur offering TO provide a sufficient
number of hermetically sealed caskets in
which to bring the bodies to this country.
They called attention TO the unsatisfacto-
rily results in many cases of embalming,
and claimed that with the caskets named,
without any special preparations the bod
ies might be taken as they now are, and
once sealed up would remain without
change or decomposition for years.
President Arthur sent the letter and
offer to the Secretary of the Navy, who
conferred with Surgeon General p. s.
Wales, and few days since the following
telegram, accepting the protier of the cas-
kets, was received -
W. $. Wood, Vice President Metallic
Burial Case Company, No. $50 Pearl
street, New York =
am directed by the Secretary of the
Navy to accept your offer of eleven burial
caskets. Please have them packed and
delivered for shipment TO American Min
lister, st. Petersburg, by the Nelson line of
steamers, via Hull. PHILIPs S. WALES,
Surgeon General, United States Navy.
In making the profier of the receptacles
for the bodies of Lieutenant De Long and
his companions, the Metallic Case Compa-
ny say
We propose that the bodies be taken
as they now are (frozen) and wrapped in
felt, and packed in cork dust in the me-
talic caskets and permanently sealed.
Then wrap the casket in felt and then
pack in cork dust; also cover the box with
felt. We believe the caloric from the
outer air cannot penetrate to the bodies,
and if it did by long exposure so pene-
trate, that the bodies would not TO any
great extent be affected, by reason of
their being in perfectly air tight recepta-
eles, where no moisture could be evolved
to aid the thawing process; and they
must, of course, remain in this frozen
state for an indefinite period The prop
osition to take the bodies TO st. Peters
burg and thaw and then embalm them
cannot but result unfavorably. We be-
IltNc uidt inc pIotcss vi tlidNlig tne
bodies will of itself commence and hasten
decomposition, which cannot be arrested
by any embalming process.
The process of cmbalming under the
most favorable circumstances has proven
ineffective, as in the case of President
Lincoln, who had to be removed to an
air-tight metallic casket, and more recent
ly the whole nation was shocked and
grieved at the result in President Gar
fields case, and only found relief when
the remains were taken from the wooden
receptacle and, the embalming being ig-
nored, placed in the bronze casket.

A Romantic History.
baltimore Snecial TO CHICAGO Times


The visit to Baltimore a few days ago
and the approaching marriage in Boston
of young Irish lady named Mrs. Ritchie
nee Miss Amelia Graham, revives the re-
collections of very romantic history.
Miss Graham is q relative of John J. kel-
ly, a saloon keeper at No. 5S w. Fayette
street. She came to Baltimore some few
years ago and found temporary home
with Mr.. Kelly. Within year she mov-
ed to the home of another relative on the
York road near Waverly, where she met
and fell in love with man beyond mid
die age named John Richie. The passion
was reciprocal and arrangements were
made for the wedding of the young Irish
girl and the man from Baltimore county
The course of true love in this case, as in
many Others, did not run smoothly, and
the marriage was broken off on account
of difference in religious belief between
the contracting parties, the lady being q
Roman Catholic and the gentleman an
Episcopalian. Vows of constancy were
interchanged and arrangements for the
wedding were made three separate times
thereafter through reconciliations, and
finally on the third time the marriage
took place in Baltimore county. 1t oc-
Cured Just after the return of Miss Gra-
ham from Ireland, where she had gone
after the third quarrel, and the couple
settled down TO live on the York line
Two days after the wedding Richie blew
his brains out with a shot gun, and, being
left widow Of aflluence, Miss Graham
returned to Ireland She came again TO
America and took up her residence in
Boston, where she is soon to be married
to a wealthy blacksmith. She came to
Baltimore few days ago 10 visit her old
friends, and while here she purchased
her bridal outfit.

Norwich Comm Cor. New York sun.
In lonely valley on the shore of
Beach Pond, on the eastern boundary of
this State, is the lowly cabin of an ccccn-
tric preacher, Elder William Slocum. II
is in the depths of dense forest. Here
Slocum has lived alone for years, and
has occasionally preached stirring truths
to crowds OF backwoodsmcn from the
wilds of Rhode Island. Sometimes he
has set out ON missionary pilgrlmages
through the neighboring counties. lie
possesses some ability as an orator, and a
grim sort Of humor.
A few weeks ago he publicly announced
that he was about to die, and that his
funeral sermon would be preached in his
hut on August 10 by the Rev. Mr.. Shipel,
of Rhode Island. On the day named
about two hundred persons gathered at
Slocum's cabin TO attend the funeral
ceremonies. Elder Slocum was at his
door to greet his guests, who were the
toughest element to be found along the
edges of the two States. Vast quantities
of bad whisky had been procured by the
Elder, and each mourncr brought along
a big black bottle under his arm. The
Elder took conspicuous position among
the congregation that filed his cabin and
were scattered among the bushes and ad-
dressed them. He said that he regretted
to announce that the expected funeral
orator had failed to appear, but that the
ceremonies would go on.
Then the fun began. Nearly every one
was already drunk, and an orgy of
drunkenness and riot continued all day.
The crowd danced and yelled and
wrested and fought, and scores of men
fell down drunk among the trees, while
their companions danced on over their
bodies. To add 10 the celebration guns
were fired and rocks were blasted. The
Elder who had expected to personatc a
corpse and lie in state in his coffin, be-
came nearly as drunk as his company.
/ At length some one set stack of hay on
/ fire, and as the flames strcamcd up
among the forest boughs, daredevil
rushed through the fire half dozen
| times. His clothing took fire, but he re-
ceived only slight scorching. The rev.
ery lasted until evening and then the
company, being exhausted, badc their
host goodbye and tumbling into their
wagons, drove away.
| Similar scenes are not unusual along
| the borders of this state, and in the town
ot Voluntown, which is the center of the
backwoods districts of Connecticut and
Rhode Island, a public celebration is
held on June 3, each year, the features of
which would blast the reputation of
/ Deadwood. The event is known as
Beach Pond Race Day." and has been
celebrated for nearly a hundred years
Drunkenness, fighting and horse-tradine
are the diversions. Rarely is a horse
brought to the June meeting that is
valued at more than s.. Some of the
steeds are pulled onto the grounds hob
bling on two legs and supported by men
on each side. Often a horse is traded fol
a iackknife or a silver dollar

THE VAIN PCLLET.

A fine, fat pullet who was roosting on
the limb of tree safe from danger was
saluted by fox with:
'Good evening, Miss Pullet; | never
saw you look better. Your figure is per-
fcctly lovely"
"Doyou really think sop
Certainly do. I'd give anything if
! could wear my hair done up ina French
roll and have it become me as it does
you"
aren't you joking?'
81 was never more serious in my life.
Your small feet and pretty mouth are the
envy of all the pullets in the ncighbor-
hood"
"Dear me, but is that so?"
"And everybody says you have such a
tony air about you"
"Oh la ~
II think if we wcrc to walk out togcth-
er we would mash the whole town"
Really, now2"
The fox gave her more soft solder, and
in the end the vain pullet flew down
and furnished a square meal for the crafty
villain.

Mrs. Surratt's Daughter.
Cincinnati Commercial.

Annie Surratt, the poor girl who suf-
fered so terribly as to make her old while
vet young in years, lives near her brother
John. She is the wife of Professor Tonry,
who is now the leading chemist of Balti-
more. After her mother had been
hanged, and her own mental faculties
were shattered by the agonies she had
undergone, the innocent girl was ostra-
cized and peHecuted TO an extent that is
a disgrace to our so-called Christian civil
lization. Years after, when Mr.. Tonry-
then q Government clerk dared to marry
her. he was dismissed from office for the
offence. For time they were very poor,
but being turned out of the Government
grind proved to be the making of him af-
ter all. They are now prosperous enough
in worldly point of view, but the once
blithc and beautiful Annie is a wreck,
both mentally and physically, with hair
as white as the driven snow, though but
little more than thirty years of age. She
never recovered from the shock of that
awful day, the last of her mothers life,
and is subject 20 fits of extreMe nervous
ness, bordering upon delirium.

A Decent Russian Prince.
New York Tribune.

A Russian Prince died at st. Peters
burg lately who contradicted all the pop
ular notions of Russian Princes. This
was Orloff Davidof, the son and nephew
of the five famous brothers Orlof of the
days of Catherine. This Davidoff was the
friend of Sir Walter Scott and Goethe, a
pamphleteer and essayist himself of no
mean pretension, but above al humani-
tartan. Being one of the largest land
owners in Russia he devoted himself to
the elevation of his former serfs, founded
industrial and other schools for them
with system and appliances far in adj
vance ofthose in England. Many Tribune
readers will doubtless remember the ex.
hibit made by the serfs at the Exposition
in Philadelphia, ofdesigns, mathematical
and other work.

Brigandage In sicily.
New York sun.


A man who recently made business
trip through the interior of Sicily has
written an account of his experiences,
which 90 to prove that this small and
thickly-settled island is much more dan
gerous TO travellers than the most lawless
districts in our western Territories. Dur
ing part of the trip, made in stage, an
armed escort of twelve men was in at
tendance, and even with this guard the
liability to robbery was not removed.
At one of the railroad stations wealthy
man came to take the train, surrounded
by body guard of forty mounted men,
and at the end Of his journey another
guard Of fifty was at the station to meet
him. This man was not loaded down
with ready money, but was simply going
to look at a sulphur mine that he owned.
The Italian Government tries to put
down brigansage, hut the work is hard,
from the fact that centuries of misrule
have had the effect Of making nearly all
of the country people look upon robbery
as a perfectly legitimate occupation;
hence the military and police authorities
have not the least moral support from the
community. The brigands are not pro-
fessional thieves, but farmers, miners
and the like turn their hands TO pillage
whenever an opportunity presents itself
