A aoop Illustration Of tho ruling passion

A GOOD illustration Of the ruling passion
strong in death is found in All Duck, q Co
lestial murderer, who was in a hurry to be
hanged because he believed that for twenty
years after he had "joined the jerked"-
polite phrase for hanging-he would be
able to return to earth and torment his enc
mics. How delightful to look forward to
the time when you can enjoy the privileges
Of "spook," and at the witching hour of
night rap on the bedpost of your mortal
foe, and then stalk about the room a white
and horrid unreality, while the aforemen-
toned mortal foes eyeballs are starting
out Of their sockets, and his brow is wet
toni And to be impatient to be hanged in
order that you may enter on that pleasure
without delay! We confess that manila
rope has no attraction for us, even with
such employment beyond the grave.-M

In Justice to the subject, it is but
fair to state that pen picture of this

tered mt the exhibition in that city for
the grand premium awarded to the
llnest piece of mechanism in the line
OF cabinet work on exhibition. The
contest was simply walk.over and
the set of furniture subject of enco-
mum for newspaper correspondents
