Rescued from the Grave.

'It sounds like q good deal to say,
but once knew Il man who died and
was buried on the overland trail to
California, and afterward made his ap-
pearance in the placer mines at Pricklv
Pear City-and it wasn't his ghost
either, but himself in the hesh.' This
was the reply which q wcll-known resi-
dent Of Helena, Montana, made to a
reporter who was applying the reminis-
cence extractor.
"In the spring of 49, continued the
citizen, "when the California gold ex-
citement was at it's height, in company
with large party crossed the plains.
After getting well under way the cholera
broke out among us and several died.
Among other deaths was that of q man
named w. II. Clark, of Henry County
Missouri. We buried him near the point
where the old Santa Fe trail crossed
the Arkansas River. We had no coffin,
but wrapped him in his blankets, and,
lnclosing him in a covering or bark
stripped from the cottonwood trees, we
planted him about seven feet deep in
the sand, and piled logs on the grave to
keep the wolves from digging him up.
The next morning we moved on.
''I remained in California until '67,
and was then attracted to Montana by
the gold excitement. In 1868, while in
the diggings at what is known as Mon
tana City, 1 was startled at meeting
Clark, whom, with my own yyes, had
seen buried on the Arkansas River
nineteen years before. The recognition
was mutual, and on my expressing my
surprise he related to me that after our
own party had buried him and pro
ceeded on toward California party of
Indians came along, and, seeing his
new-made grave, dug him up for the
sake Of his blanket and clothing. AS
he showed signs Of life they applied
rcstoratives, and the result was that he
was brought back to life and health.
He lived among the Indians for years,
and afterward came to Montana. AT
the time | met him he was working for
Jerry Embry. There is absolutely no
doubt as to Clark's identity, and he is
now living in Prescott, Arizona, 1 be-
iieve. ."--UelCna htucpcn0ent.

A TattOoed Woman

1t was only = few Years ago that quite a
sensation was produced by the exhibition
Of Greek, OF whom it was said that he
had been captured by Cannibals or some
other heather and had been painfully and
artisticaily tattOoed, every spot upon his
oody being decorated by the heather
artists.
The narrative Of this mans adventures
reached a Miss Irene Woodward. of Dallas,
Texas, who upon examining her body
found that she was in about the same con-
lition, and has taken steps to favor the
public with an opportunity to inspect this
work of art. She has not yet been engag-
ed by Barnum, and it is probable she will
fail Of her object
Miss Woodward is a brOwn-haired
brown-eyed maiden, about nineteen years
old. She claims to be the daughter of u
sailor, and that her father began the tat.
tooing when she was only six years old
and that it lasted six years. She says she
is tattooed on every part of her body from
her neck to her heels. The tattooing was
done in India ink. and is said by those in
position to speak with authority to be
decidedly artistic, and the devices varied
and attractive Around the neck is 6
floral necklace. Dependent from this is {
Lunch of roses in full bloom. The rising
sun is illustrated on each shoulder. anC
the arms are covered with stars, hearts
llJating angles, wreaths, harps, crosses,
fill rugged ship, and various mOttoes
Her back is said to he completely covered
with large cross, heart and anchor.
The only use for such an object we cal
conceive of is to afford Barnum an Oppor
tunity to advertise himself by engagin:
her and making q matrimonial match be
tween her and the tattooed Greek, as h,
! did between Tom Thumb and Miss War
ren.

The resolutions passed by the weekly
conference of the Baptist ministers Of Bos-
ton and vicinity, asking the Governor OF
Massachusetts hereafter to appoint day
of fasting only in seasons of great and
general solemnity, will probably arouse a
cry of Indignation. The movement is GER
tainly retrOgrade one, and it is strange
to find it springlng up in the ancient Com
an annual day of fasting and prayer.
Clerks and other employees, particularly
those connected with base ball clubs, will
probably rebuke this departure from an
cestral customs, and the schools will
oppose it to boy.

Senator Bayard has contributed to The
Christiaa Union a short letter on success

viction that such success does not at all
involve disregard of the cannons of pune
tilliously honorable action. He says of

tics that 1.-THE discovery Ofmuch weakness
and unworthy may often pain and disap-
point him, and he may weary Of the work

The labor strikes, in one form or other,
have become very formidable. They ex-
tend largely over the country, and show a
condition of dissatisfaction that is very
serious. The general outlook of the
country is not as bright as it should he,
and while labor has the right to demand a
fair share of all results in the line of busi-
ness, the danger is that both labor and
general business will suffer. The aim
should be to regulate all these matters.

TERKAPIN FARMING.-Senator John J.
Gardner, of Atlantic City, y. j., has pre-
pared farm in the meadows not far from
the inlet, where he is going to try to raise
diamend-back terrapins from the eggs.
The farm or pond comprises an area OF
about two acres of water. His experiment
is original in that the farming is done in
the native mud of the dumond-back, in.
stead of an uncongenial soil, where artifi.
cial means must be employed to make il
adaptable to the terrapin. The Senator
also says that he has never yet seen q
farm wher' the terrapins were hatched
the so-called farms being merely places to
keep and fatten them for market.

London is said to be the only place in
all Europe where q man can find a secure
retreat or remain, if he pleases, many
years unknown. If he pays constantly
for his lodging, for his provisions and for
whatsoever else he wants, nobody will ask
question concerning him, or inquire
whence he comes or whittier he goes. II
is different in this country. The man who
can't pay is the one nobody wants te
know.

They have a new game in Indiana. A
man who can hold an egg in either hand
and jump five feet without breaking the
eggs by involuntary squeezing wins the
bet. This is great fun; but if the man
who tries it and loses the bet happens to
have on new suit of clothes at the time
it is just as well for the man who intro
duced the game to leave very suddenly
and remain away for month or two.

For the Smyrna 1iHtcs.
HillSboro'.

DEAR EDITOR: Il have no doubt a line
from this place will prove acceptible to
you, if not to your readers, as it comes
from the pen of a friend.
One who has not visited this place within
the lapse of dozen years will find little
to remind him of what Hllsboro' was
prior. The place is modern, enlarged and
pretty. Few of the old land marks re-
main; the place is new.
The people have kept pace with the
town in progress. Local Option has closed
the many places that from time immem-
orial dealt out Intoxicating drink to the
intemperate, and the morals of the people
have shot up like the mercury in mid
Summer. The bacchanalian carousals that

tainty that Saturday night would come
have passed away with the sparkling cup,
and these nights are as quiet and peaceful
as the others. Thrift and enterprise are
absorbing public thought and activity,
and town and country are reaping G
blessed fruitage. Would that Senator
Bayard could visit this place and could be
made understand the substantial good that
has already accrued to town and people
from the temperance measure he so strenu
Ously antagOnizes!
The business of the town has seemingly
very materially declined siare local optior
enforced the breaking up of the liquo,
traffic in the place, but it is not u declen
