Finding OF the Body Of Captain
Gus Coleman.

The steamer Belle Memphis, which ar
rived this morning from ST. Louis, brought
the remains of Captain Gus Coleman, who
was lost five weeks ago from his tug Tilda
at point about 100 miles above here, and
for the recovery of which reward of $500
was offered, together with the money
found upon his person. Diligent search
has been made and a watch kept at Vari-
Gus points between hero and the scene of
the accident since his loss, but nothing
reliable was ascertained until yesterday at
noon, when fisherman named II. H.
Hopegood and a young man named @. H.
Powell, while attending to their lines,
came upon the body floating upon its back
in the chute of Island co. near Isabel bar,
some eighteen or twenty miles below
where the accident occurred. The glitter
ing oft the late Captains watchchain first at
tracted the attention of the men in the skiff
and pulling down to the floating object
they were at once satisfied that it was the
body of Captain Coleman. The two men
then towed the body to Plum Point, then
crossed over to Elmot, where box was
made for the remains. Besides gold
watch and chain, $24l in paper money
was found on his person; The body was
sent to this city by the Belle Memphis,
and on her arrival here the family were
notified and arrangements made ut once
for the holding of an inquest and the
burial of the remains. Squire Spelman
held the inquest at the elevator and re-
turned verdict in accordance with the
facts as have already been published,

of the tug at the time OF the accident, be-
ing the chief witness, The funeral of the

A Philadelphia physician has made
special study of the phenomena of
death both through his personal oh
servations and those of others, and
his conclusion is that the dissolution
is painless. Il mean,' he explains,
that it approaches as unconsciously
as sleep. The soul leaves the world
as painlessly as it enters it. What
ever be the causes of death, whether
by lingering malady or sudden VIC
lence, dissolution comes either
through syncope or asphyxia. In the
latter case, when resulting from dis
ease, the struggle is long protracted
and ACCOMPANIED by all the visible
marks of agony which the immagina
ton associates with the closing scene
of life. Death does not strike all
the organs of the body at the same
time, and the lungs are the last to
give up their functions. As deatL
approaches the latter gradually be
come more and more oppressed
hence the rattle. Nor is the contac t
sufficiently perfect to change the
black venous into the red arterial
blood. an unprepared fluid conse
quently issues from the lungs into
the heart, and is thence transmitted
to every other organ of the body.
The brain receives it. and its energies,
appear to be lulled thereby into sleep
generally tranquil sleep filled
with dreams which impel the dying
to murmur out the names of friends
and the occupations and recollections
of past life"

A SONG FOR MIDDLE AGE.

/ am just little weary tonight.
Sitting alone in the waning light.
Alone in the silent room:
And my eyes are full of unshed tears
For the hopes and dreams of sweet, dead
years,
Years lost in a tender gloom.
Oh. to think how my memory strays
Ra X IN back u the be lutltul days.
The day when | was young:
When hope and We're never apart.
When love made melody III NY heart
And melody on my tongue.
Never again shall dream such dreams:
See such meadows. and woods, and streams.
Or carry a heart 50 glad.
l have crossed the hill at the turn of life:
h ave borne the burden and heat of strife:
I'm tired. and little sad.
know that my hair is turning gray,
feel | nm growing Old to-day,
And my heart sinks YEARLY:
When the sweetest rose of life l. dead.
When song L. over, AMI beauty fled,
All. what has life left for ne:
Hush. There are footsteps upon the stair:
Hush There are sounds on the soft ill
air,
And forgot to complain.
My sons and daughters are in the room.
And gone is the soft, regretful gloom;
am glad and youn. again.
Polly. and Kitty, and Jack, and Chris
All of them wanting mothers kiss,
All tenderly full Of fears:
Then quite forgotten were youthful Joys,
was well content with my girls and boys,
Content with my fifty years.

Railroad and cab fares are a very

Railroad and cab fares are a very
important item. Second class coaches
in England are good enough for any
body, and cost about three cents a
mile. In Germany the rates are the
same. although the accommodations
are not quite so good. In Belgium
three cents mile is charged for
first class, two cents for second class,
and one and a half for third-class
In Holland, the land of dykes, fares
are higher, and two-thirds of the
railroads are run by the government.
Cabs are cheaper in Germany than
in England. In France they are
reasonable. but in Naples one can
ride from one end of the city to the
other in a cab at three minute pace
for fourteen cents, and ii will cost
no more whether you put three in
the cab or one. In England it will
cost twenty-five cents for half the
distance, and in Germany about the
same.
