Hannibal, Mo-, who died twenty-six years
ago, it was found that the body was per-
fectly preserved in every respect. Tue fes-
lures were natural, and the face also still
retained the same color as when the body
! |, hot
had been placed on the breast OF the de-
ceased at burial retained its color. When

Years ago, when the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher was pastor of the little church in
indianapolis, he was disturbed one Sunday
evening in the midst Of a long prayer by
| sudden commotion in the congregation,
| followed by an almost preternatural still
ness. OF course his eyes were closed, but
| the silence soon seemed so sepulchral in its
intensity that he could endure it no longer,
| so he opened them. Not living being be-
| sides himself was in the church. An alarm
of fire had sounded down the street, an en-
CINE had come trundling by, and every man,
woman and child had rushed cut to ''run
with the machine"

debate on the tobacco monopoly: eff you
ask me why, in the event of your not adopt
| ing the monopoly, do not comply with the

| but l enjoin you not to dim the national
name OF Germany in the eyes of Europe,
upon whose horizon there Is cloud now
arising"
George Washington's will is on file In the
office of the Clerk of Fairfax county, Va.
Hitherto the document has been without
protection, and curious persons in'handling
1t have subjected 1t to great deal OF wear
and tear. Now, however, the will is In
glass case, where 1t may be seen but not
| touched. It is written on heavy unruled
paper, about note size, and every side is
| covered. There are twenty seven pages, all
| of which have Washington's name attached
| except the tWenty-tbird, which ended with
the words getty OF Washington" and 1t is
supposed that in looking over it Washington
mistook the words for his signature and,
therefore, failed to sign the page.
William Bence Jones, the Irish landowner
and magistrate, whose death was announced
by cable on Saturday, belonged to the best
class of landlords, and dealt literally with
his tenants. The latter, however, united
during the winter of 1880 '6l to ruin him by
depriying him of laborers, leaving his cattle,
sheep and horses unfed, and starving him
into Submission to the local Land League.
Mr.. Jones found means to battle their plots,
but he confessed that he did not want to go
through the same experience again. His
trials at that time and the way in which he
succeeded in getting his "Boycotted" beef
to market were the subject OF an article by
him in the Contemporary AeO'ela.

Genoa on Friday brings into prominence
the contrast between his methods and SER
vice in helping on Italian unity, and those

In the popular opinion which is formed of
most men, Italians to-day forget that MAJ
zini did more than any one else to endsnger
and wreck their cause; not from want OF
patriotism, to be sure, but from excess of
fanaticism. He was an agitatOr pure aud
simple; destroyer, willing to 90 to all
lengths to root up established government
He approved assassination, and was the
sworn enemy of the House of Savoy by
which alone Italy could be-and was united.
