be so dead that after having been i'll her
burial casket she was having the coffin lid
screwed down when signs of vitality
aroused attention, and returning con-
sciousness turned the funeral into a festi-
va. Brides have often gone from the
altar to the grave, but it is given few per-
sons to wear the veil after they have been
wrapped in the winding sheet.
THE New Era may have mislaid it's Gle,
or may not have had time to examine it !;

be expanded by ingenious mechanism into

phia met too many impediments to~a
comfortable and successful existence at
their first game recently. Among the
casualties reported are six broken fingers,
ono badly damaged eye, one broken leg

Two of the players have been placed in
the hospital for repairs, and, according t"
one of the almond eye gentlemen, all am
bilious aspirations to ''playee baseball,
an sellee out game alice same Mclean
man" have been nipped in the bud.
A COURSE of lectures have been begun
in New York, like those given in Phila-
delphia, to the policemen Of that city, in
which they are taught what should be
done in cases of fractured limbs, how to
create artificial breathing, the manner in
which burns should be treated, how to
cure frost bites and to save frozen limbs,
how TO dress poisonous wounds, bow to set
dislocated limb, and what to do to save
the life of person partially sulfocated 10y
chemical fumes, gas or smoke. A few
suggestions as to the proper and timely
use of the club would also be in order.
We can easily imagine tho SDmposure
and amusement with which his serene
highness, Cardinal McCloskey, listened to
the novel argument of United Brethren
preacher in the incident related on our
first page to-day. There be people who
would not have taken his fierce onset so
good naturedly, but the eminent head of
the Catholic church 10 this country is so
for his patient good sense
that his serenity on this occasion was only
what might have been expected from one
who blends practical sagacity with great
and devotion.

things.
