WHOSE BODY WAS IT!

a Curious Case of .NIis5akenHEdentity-A
Mcn Buoies n Corpse Supposed to be
That of His Brother, but That Individual
Turns up Alive.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. En
NEW York, Dec. 3O.-James Brown, a
carpenter, spent last Fourth of july with
his brother John, a miller, who lives at
319 west Forty-seventh street. Several
weeks later John Brown read in the news
paper that a man who had given his name
as James Brown had been found dead in a.
lodging house at 299 Bowery, and that his
frien1s could not be found. He hurried to
the place and saw that the Head man an
swered his brothers description in every
particular, even to having a scar
over his right eye, two front teeth missing
and a scar on his left leg. He buried the
bedy in the New York Bay cemetary at an
expense of $50, and kept the s25 found on
the dead, believing it belonged to his
brother. Several days ago one of Jno.
Browns workmsn who knew of the burial
was staggered by meeting James alive and
well hurrYiRg toward a big box factory in
Twenty-sesond street. James learned
there for the first time that he was sup
posed to be dead and in the grave. He
hurried to 319 West Forty-aeventh street
and undeceived his relatives. John Brown
said last night he would inform the author
tiles to-day of the remarkable occurrence.
He would like to find, he says, whose
corpse it was he buried. James Brown
says on his part he has settled down in the
city permanently, to prevent another such
mistake upsetting his brothers household.

[Gerald Massey's Lecture.l

Whilst the modern man appears to have
been losing his soul, or never to have found
out that he had one, the ancient Egyptians,
the Britons, the Hindoos, the Chaldeans, the
Gnostics, all held that men had seven souls.
The Dakotas hold that man has four souls.
One remains with the corpse; one stays in the
village; one passes into the air; and one as
cends to the land of spirits. The Khonds of
Orissa also recognize the four souls, or four
fold soul. The Hebrew rabbine sometimes
recognize atriple soul. In the Druidic phi
losophy man is composed of seven souls or
elements; earth, water, air, vapor, fire,
blossoms, and the wind of purposes or
intellectual ghost-and is endowed with seven
senses. These are closely related to the seven
component parts of the soul in esoteric
Buddhism and in Egyptian psychology.

A Few Hints in Courtesy and Polite
ness.
[Rosella Rice in The Household.

[Rosella Rice in The Household
An instance occurred once on board a
steaner on lake Erie. A country girl, not
thinking or knowing that this act was in VIC
latiOn of all rules of courtesy and politeness,
picked up the comb and brush belonging to
a lady occupying the same state-room and
used them in dressing her abundant hair.
When done, she surveyed her toilet with sat-
i~sfaction before the mirror, touching the
tresses here and there, lightly, but the LADY,
opened the window and coolly tossed over
board the offending articles before the eyes of
the astonished girl. This was not wise, nor
womanly, nor right. Another case trans
pired, but the denoument was more creditable
to the lady in question. A young girl, I'M
used to the ways of the world, called into
~requisition the comb and brush of the lady
occupant of the same room. She thanked the
owner when she replaced the articles. A
smile greeted her as the kin woman handed
them back to her, saying:
Il hope, my dear girl, you will pardon me
when l ask you to accept of these from me as
q little gift, presented in all kindness and
courtesy. And 1 am sure you are a sensible
girl, and will take no offense when I tell YOU
that this thoughtiess act of yours has been a
breach Of politeness. l do not think I am
fastidious, when 1 tell you that I could not
enter into partnership with any one in the
use of these articles. There are a great many
little things like this, my dear, that you will
learn asyou grow older and as you are thrown
more frequently into good society. They are
little things, and yet they help to make polite
men and women. We must all learn them,
they come to us gradually and slowly, and
no one need be ashamed if she has not vet
learned them. Don't blush, my dear, 1 am
not thinking unkindly of you; I am doing as
1 would wish another to do by me under the
same circumstances, and 1 am sure 1 give
them cordially and kindly and lovingIy.'
How humane and how thoughtful this was.
Good angels must attend and wait upon such
a kindly naturel The poor abashed girl
murnured her thanks and her gratitude,
while the tremulous poppies Of mid-June
were not redder than her flaming cheeks.

VIII be the Choice of the Caucus.
III Especial Telegram to the Globe. 81
Boston, Dec. 30.--The Washington cor
respondent of tbs Herald says among Ohio
Democrats 10 Washington there is q strong
belief that the senatorial contest in that
state will result in the election Of Judge
Thurman. The fight between the Pendle-
ton and Payne factions has grown SO bit
tsr that it may kill both these candidates.
a prominent Ohio Democrat who declared
himself free from all bias or prejudice
said to a reporter: sour folks believe
we can carry The state next
year if we go into the fight united.
Now, this senatorial struggle threatens that
unity which is SO essential. To elect Pen
dleton would enbitter his opponents, and
to elect Payne, Or any other distinctive
auti-Pendlston man, would make Pendie-
toms friends mad. We don't want any
sore spots that will break out next year to
our injury. Now Thurman is not identi-
fed with either or any of the factions. He
has kept in the background since he left
the senate. He is a big man, and would
strengthen our party in the senate. His
election would be received with satisfaction
by ali elements OF the party, and I would
not be surprised to see him nominated by
the caucus almost unanimously. The
feeling that he is the one man for the
place kinder existing circumstances has
been gaining and getting stronger as the
fight between the rival candidates has
grown more bitter. In q recent letter to
? personal friend in this city ex-senator
Thurman reiterated his declaration that he

The Drama in Kansas CITY.
[St. Louis Globe Democrat

ISG LOUIS OIO-DE-DoMOCIaC
As we lave heretofore remarked. the
Shaksperean drama is ''caviare to the gen
eral' in Kansas City. Edwin Booth is a de-
fusion, John Mccullough is WEAKNESS, and
Mary Anderson is fatigue in that highly
cultured metropolis. We are glad to note,
however, that there is something in the
drama of the time that suits the Kansas
City taste, and we infer this much from the
announcement that the "Bandit King" as
performed by the Jesse James combination,
is now drawing immense audiences to
Coates opera house every night. As one of
Kansas City's society beaus observed after
witnessing the first performance of this
thrilling production: st beats Hamlet to
