Strange Attitudes in Death.

Prof. G. E. Brown-Sequard writes
that at the battle of Williamsburg a
United States zouave was shot directly
through the forehead as he was
climbing over low fence, and his
body was found in the last attitude in
life-one leg half over the fence, the
body crouching backward. One hand
partially clenched and raised to the
level of the forehead, presented the
palm forward as if to ward off an APP
preaching evil. A brakeman of a
freight car on the Nashville & Chat
tanooga railroad was instantaneously
killed by shot between the eyes,
fired by a guerrilla. The murdered
man was screwing down the brakes at
at the moment of the shot After
death the body remained fixed, the
arms rigidly extended on the wheel
of the brake. The pipe which he had
been smoking remained clasped be-
tween his teeth. The conservation of
the last attitude can take place in 9th
er circumstances than sudden death
from wounds to the brain, heart or
lungs, although an injury to vital
organ is the most frequent cause of
that phenomenon. A detail of United
States soldiers foraging near Colds
boro, n. c., came suadenl y upon a
party of Southern cavalry dismount-
ed. The latter Immediately sprang
to their saddles, and, after a volley
had been fred at them, they all but
one rode away.
That one was left standing with one
foot in the stirrup; one hand, the left,
grasping the bridle-rein and name of
his horse, the right hand clenching
the barrel of his carbine near the muz-
zle, the butt of the carbine resting on
the ground The mans head was
turned over his right shoulder, appa-
rently watching the approach of the
attacking party. He was called upon
to surrender, without response, and
upon near approach and examina-
ton he was found to be rigid in death,
in the singular attitude above de-
scribed. Great difficulty was expert
enced in forcing the name of the
horse from his left hand and the car
bine from his right. On the battle
field of Beaumont, near Sedan, in
1870, the dead body of a soldier was
found half sitting, half lying on the
ground, delicately holding tin COB
let between his thumb and forefnger,
and directing it towards an absent
mouth. While in that position the
puor man had been killed by a cannon
ball, which had carried away the
whole of his head and face, except the
lower jaw The body and arms had
been suddenly seized at the time of
death with stiffness which produced
the persistence of the state in which
they were when the head was cut Off
Twenty-four hours had elapsed since
the battle.

THE POSTAL APPROPRIATIONS
BILL.
Passes the Senate as Reported From
the Committee With the Exception
of one Amendment.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The SEN
ate made short work of the Postal
Appropriation Bill. 1t was taken up
at IL 80 and disposed of by 8 o'clock.
This marvellous legislation in view of
the fact that the Senate Committee
has increased the aggregate appro-
priations So, 100000, stricken out the
clause relating to the per cent. re-
duction to railroads for the transpor-
tation of mails, and taken other iber-
ties with the measure as it came from
the House.
In running comment on the bill,
Mr.. Plum, who had 1t in charge, stated
the increase in sealed letters for 1885
would be at least 90 per cent. This
increase was owing to the two-cent
rate adoped last year. The House
bill, he explained, appropriated s46,-
255, 900. To this the Senate commit
tee had added So 499, 500, making the
aggregate appropriation $40, 725. 400.
The postal revenues of 1885 would eX-
coed the estimates of this Department
by about $1,000,000, making the r:v-
enue over $4S, 900, which would
leave deficit of about 81, 700, 900 to
be provided for out of the general rev
enue. The increase has been made
with determination to give the people
that character of service which their
necessities demand, and to which they
were entitled by reason of the fact
that they themselves paid for the ser
vice directly.
The only amendment in the bill
was an increase of s25, 600 in the item
for steamboat routes, making it $3.50, !

watch from the gallery the demeanor
of their respective husbands In their
seats below, especially when cards are
brought to the latter. One lady will
say to the ether: There goes card
to your husband; wonder if 1t is lady
or a gentleman wants to see him.
There he goes out; lets see how long
he stays, and then we'll know whether
1t was man or a woman Theirs he
comes IN again, so it must have been a
man who was waiting for him; he'd
have staid longer if it had been wom-

While some of the incidents in this
gallery are highly amusing, others are
often very. annoying. For instance,
lately, lovely wife, who was listen
ing intently to her husbands speech,
heard lady behind. who was evident

An all night session of the United
States House of Representatives es
pecially when it is occasioned by a
discussion which requires either polit
lcal party to muster its full
strength, and causes a "call of
the House, to be ordered, and
the Sergeant-atArms to be in
structed to bring in absentees, al
ways has some ludicrous features out
side the hall. as well as some produc-
tives of annoyance to the families of
members of the house as much as to
themselves. During such a night
session, not long ago, the wife of one
of the colored Representatives was
left alone in the members gallery
until a late hour, all other occupants
of that gallery having left in the early
part of the night. She could not go
home alone, and her husband, who
was on the floor of the House, was
locked in. so he could not leave to
take her home 1t is the custom as
soon as a call of the House is ordered
to lock all doors of exit or entrance to
the Legislative Hall, not only to pre-
vent those members who are within
from going away without permission
of the House, but also to prevent
those absent without leave getting in
except in the custody of the Sergeant
alarms, who has been ordered to ar
rest them and bring them to make
their excuses at the bar of the House
1t was not until the colored Repre-
sentative could succeed in obtaining
the formal leave of the House to 60
home with his wife (and he promised
TO return as soon as he had done so)
that he could join her in the gallery
and accompany her to their resi-
dence.

General Hancoek's Romance.

| was talking politics with senator
from the west this week. and. on
mentioning General Haucock's name,
he told me a story of The gallant gen
eral that lsromantic enough to repeat.
Soon after his graduation from West
Point, when but little past his ma
jority, he started for the west in COM
eany with a number of army men, to
see the country. They stopped at St.
Louis, aud while there General Han
cock met his future wife. He was
taking one of his customary morning
rides on Horseback in the most fash
ionable part of the city, when he
caught sight of handsome young
lady standing at a'window. His heart
was touched at once-and for the first
tlme-and, without thought of the
improperly of his action, involunta-
rily he refined his charger and took eff
his hat. The fair vision at the win
dow waved shapeiy hand, blushed,
and drew the curtain. This only in
creased the young mans disease, and
when he returned to his hotel his alb
sent-mlndednesS and evident abstrac-
ton provoked comment on the part of
his friends, Try as he would, the
beautiful face at the window haunted
him still. and he yielded to an ire
slstIble impulse to return to the house
where his fate resided, in hope of get
ting another wave of the hand or a
smile of encouragement to loves
young dream.
AS luck would have it, fortune
smiled on the young man. and the
lady was just leaving the house, &C
companied by tall and elderly gen
tleman as he reached there. She re-
cognized him at once, and rosy blush
es sutfused her face as she entered a
carriage in waiting and was driven
rapidly away. Young Hancock was
now more eager than ever, and hail
ing passing cab. directed the driver
to follow the carriage containing the
beautiful unknown. Finally her car
riage stopped and she entere, the
house of an old army friend of the
ardent lover, who followed close after
and was admitted by the friend in
person. To him the smitten youth
unbosomed himself, and an introduc-
ton followed to Miss Mary Russell,
daughter Of one of ST. Louis wealth
lest merchants. The young lady
seemed to have been struck by the
same dart that pierced her lovers
heart, and a cordial invitation to call
was extended to him. l need say no
more. The rest of the story is simply
the oft told tale, for in six months
Miss Mary Russell became Mrs. Win
field Scott Hancock. and she is held
in the warmcst esteem by all those
who know her many charming and
womanly qualities. This is but one
of the many romantic tales that one
hears here nearly every day, and
their recital is one of the pleasantest
features of Washington life-Corres-
pondence Boston Times.
