On opening the coffin of Mr.. Morris, Of
Hannibal, Missouri, who died twenty six
years ago, it was found that the body was
perfectly preserved in every respect. The
features were perfect. The face retained
the same color as when the body was
placed in the ground. Even a rose that
ceased at burial retained lite color. When
the lid of the coffin was about to be replac-
ed the body suddenly began to crumble,
and in few moments nothing but dust
remained in place Of what seemed but a
few moments before to be the body Of a

Referring to the prisoners frequent Interrupt

Carson beside him with instructions to clasp
his hand over his mouth whenever he talked.
That's about the way they do IN court martials
when the prisoner becomes disorderly. A big
sergeant stands beside him and twists his col
lar ii he makes too much noise. This man is
very quiet and orderly in Jail because there is
authority there. Everything is solemn and
qaiet.
He knows if he makes too much noise he
will be punished.
The general invitation given by Gaiteau to
the public to call upon him New Years day
seems to have been very generally accepted
The ante-room at the Jail was filed with peo-
pie patiently waiting TO be conducted to his
cell. In accordance with Guiteau's own re-
quest, only those whom the Jail officials knew
were taken to call. He greeted all presented
to him very cordially and gave his autograph
