Entombed Alive.

The popular horror and fear of being
buried while in tran ce state has within
a recent period, says the Chicago Inter-
ocean, received fresh spur by two we'll
attested instances, in one of which the
awful mistake was made, and in the other
the person seemingly dead recovered at
the moment the lid was about to be
screwed on the coffin in which she lay
dressed for the grave. The latter case oc-
Cured in Wisconsin, and its details arc
yet fresh in the minds of the newspaper
reading public The other case, which
was that of woman in a small Ohio
town. Her body, on the grave being
opened some days after the burial, was
found with the limbs twisted and con-
torted, the hair torn out, and the imprint
of her awful struggles for life left upon
her distorted features. The Imagination
of the most powerful writer could add
little to the horror of the brief tee-
graphic account, or make its realization
clearer to the public mind.
The phenomena of prolonged suspen-
sion of animation in human beings is
with reference to its cause, puzzle to
pathoogists. Medical books abound
with instances of involuntary and volun-
tary suspension of the faculties, in which
state, in many of the cases mentioned,
all signs of life are wanting. The pa
TENTS body is cold and rigid, the eyes
filmy Mention is made of very severe
tests to determine whether the mysterious
vital spark was vet remaining, being
without effect. That many persons have
been buried in this state there is little
doubt Bruhier, one writer on medicine,
has collected 1870 well authenticated cases
of persons treated as dead who were liv-
ing. OF these tifty-two were buried
alive, four reached the dissecting- table
and revived on being placed in their
collins, and seventy-two awoke from an
apparent death.
These cheerful figures are met by the
opinion of some of the highest living
authorities that whether a person is
really dead, or in state closely resem-
bling it, may be demonstrated by any
skilled physician. Various methods are
given, the simplest and surest of which
consists in keeping the body until decom-
position appears.
IN certain parts of Germany the wide
spread fear of being entombed alive has
caused the establishment of houses pro-
vided with means of determining whether
life has flown. The body is laid upon a
bier; a cord, connected with an exquis-
itely hung bell, is attached to its wrist.
The slightest movement of the arm is
sufficient to set the bell changing, bring
ing the guard toad in every way known
to science the struggle back to life.
The German institution is undoubted-
lY relic of laws enacted by the Romans,
who derived them from the Greeks, and
who carried them among, the Teutons
when they overran and conquered the
country.

A Leap.Year Episode.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Call says; Society, as sort
of jest, has decreed that any young man
who refuses leap-yea proposal from a
lady is in honor bound TO present her
with new silk dress. There are a num-
Der of sold maids" in town who have
already accumulated enough silk dresses
to stock a dry goods warehouse. But
that is not what / desired to say, One
day last week a young man in society
here paid visit to young lady friend.
They were not engaged, but he had
given ample evidence that he would like
to be if he could only muster up sufficient
confidence.
He had been fooling along on the out
side edges of an engagement for six
months or more, and the lady began to
grow anxious. 1t was one of those cases
where both parties foundered around in
the sweet meshes of love, without ever
coming to an open understanding. On
the evening in question the lady, half in
jest and wholly in earnest, proposed to
him. He said that silks were unusually
high priced, and that if she would be
married at once he would accept. Much
to his surprise, she did accept, and the
couple visited the parsonage of neigh
boring clergyman, where the bride pro
duced the license, showing that her de-
termination was not a sudden freak of
fancy, and the pair were made man and
wife.

A Great Cow.

The Jersey COW, Princess H., No.
8,04G, owned by S, NJ. Shoemaker, of
Baltimore, has recently completed the
largest test of butter Tor the period of
one week that has ever been recorded.
The COW gave birth to a calf late in De-
cember last, and her milk Immediately
showed signs Of superior richness. For
three weeks she produced twenty-six
pounds of butter week, the record be-
ing made under the careful supervision
of members Of Mr. Shoemakers family.
For the fourth week the services of j. V.
n Willis, of Marlboro, N. j., the we'll
known expert, were secured, and the COW
was placed in his charge. Her appetite
was stimulated by walking exercise, and
she was milked three times day. The
yield of milk was about twenty-three
quarts in twenty hours, and the total
amount of well-worked butter salted one
ounce to the pound, which she produced
in the week, was twenty-seyen pounds
and ten ounces The facts are certified
to under oath.

Hard to Believe,

1t is hard to believe that a man was cured
OF kidney disease after his body was swollen
as big as barrel and he had been given up
as lncurable and lay at deaths door Yet such
a cure was accomplished by Kidney Wort in
the person of NJ. NJ. DevereauX, of Ionia, Mich.
who says: AFTER thirteen of the best doctors
IN IN Detroit had given me up, was cured by
Kidney Wort. L want every one to know

Government Lands.

At the meeting held here last Sat

action in the matter of reducing the
price of government land from two
and one-half dollars to one dollar and
twenty-five cents, Register Rea
made good address and produced
the strongest kind of arguments to
show why the price of this land
should be reduced, amongst which
were the following:
l. The public domain is not in
tended as a source of revenue.
,. The government is reducing its
levies, not increasing them.
3. The reduction of the price of
the lands affected will subtract little
if anything. in the aggregate from
the National income.
4. The reduction, however, would

lief to the settler, lessening his bur-

How It Was Sought for In New Mexico
Santa FE, New Mexico, April H.
Edward Perry, driver Of the stage from Rspan-
ola, who arrived this afternoon, brings news
Of terrible battle At Espanola last night, b.
tween Candido and Manuel Castillo, the mur-
derers OF the late Dan Juan Remero, Of CAbe-
Son, and posse Of Cabexou citizens, led BY
N. Romero, . brother Of the dead man. The
posse arrived At Espanola from the lower
country, with Navajo Indian for guide, at
two O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and camped
In the rear Of Lucero's store.
At nine O'Clock last night the Costillos
showed up and entered the store for the pur-
pose Of buying provisions. The posse were
asleep in the corral, but were awakened and
bolted through the rear door OF
the store en- masse firing volley Mt
the brace of murderers, but the latter
sprang through the front door, and began re-
treating, firing a. they ran. One Of them fell
once, but was on his feet In an instant and
disappeared in the darkness, making good
their escape. Not less than fifty shots were
6red, but the plan Of attack was bad. In the
melee the two horses owned by the murderers
were killed, and three winchesters, which
they were compelled to throw away, captured.
Some blood was noticed, and probably one OF
them Is wounded. They are supposed to have
gone toward Coy ote. and the poese etarted In
pursuit this morning. The pursuers are well
mounted and It Ia expected the murderers will
be overtaken and the Territory saved the eI-
pense Of q trial.
