This reminds us Of a somewhat
similar case which came under our
own observation. In our company
was German doctor, who was an ex-
cellent physician, but terribly dis
solute fellow. He was constantly
getting into trouble, and finally de-
serted. One day he unthoughtedly
returned to the company. He was
drunk at the time, and so boisterous
that nothing could be done with him.
So the officers had him "bucked," that
is placed in squatting position, his
hands tied in front Of his knees, then
a stick ran through between his ell
bows and knees. The doctor was in
terrible rage. - He cursed everybody
and everything. While one Of the
boys was passing him, he ripped out
terrible volley of oaths, coupled with
suggestions that the boys maternal
ancestor was not what one would ex-
pect to find in strictly pure woman.
It was comical to see the doctor sit
ting there, hugging the stick and
bowling out his rage. The boy did
not, as he would have been justified in
doing, break the doctors mouth. He
just reached out, and pushed him over.
The stick to which he was tied was of
considerable length, which made him
roll over, like an anchor, and land
plump and solid upon his back. This
did not add to the beauty of the situa-
ton or the doctors temper, and as he
lay kicking at the sun and bowling
out his rage in broken English with
few German embellishments, the
picture was horrible in the extreme.
But the doctor never bothered us with
any more Of his tantrums. AS soon
as he sobered up sufficiently to travel,
after his "bucking," he deserted again,
and we have never seen him from
that day to this.

A Resuscitated Corpse.

On last Thursday night as the Police
men were passing along Water Street,
not great ways this side of the 0. S. De-
pot, they discovered man lying on the
stone in front of "blace of peesness," ap-
parently dead. They carefully lifted him
up, took him into the place, and "laid him
out" He lay apparently a corpse, and
the whole crowd began to think that
they had found a first-class ''stiff," but
there is always a little warmth left in the
human heart, and the officers, with the
proprietor of the place, decided to show
to the unfortunate man all the attentions
due to respectable corpse.
So they carefully folded his hands
"across his peaceful breast" and laid two
silver dollars over his eyes.
But just as they were getting ready to
hang Grape on the door, and send for the
Coroner, the corpse suddenly began strik-
ing, kicking. and making other manifest
signs of returning life. 1t had only been
dead drunk, and so far recovered as to be
able to be fined by the Mayor next day.
If he had died, we would have given his
name, and written nice obituary notice.
But as she that drinks and faints away,
lives to drink another day." the subject of
this hasty sketch still lives, and you may
find his name on the Mayors docket-or,
maybe, the police will tell you. Maybe
He will tell you himself.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
For fifteen years there has not been season
so bad for ripening corn as that of 1888. 1t is
estimated that the State of Wisconsin alone
will need 10000 bushels of seed; similar
conditions prevail in most corn growing States,
and probably not one farmer in fifty has corn
that is fit for seed. Every one should test his
seed corn by placing several average samples
between folds Of moistened flannel, and if it
does not terminate, then look sharp for corn
that will grow, or the results viii be hundreds
and thousands of dollars of loss to the farmers
and millions to the country; look sharp, too,
for corn of the best variety which ripened in
1888 1t is well-known fact that there was
only one variety that ripened perfectly in this
State the past season, and this variety was the
Improved Leaning. The Leaning is pure,
fixed and distinct variety, first brought to
notice at the Paris Exhibition, where it re-
ceived the highest award over all other varie-
ties of yellow field corn, since which time it
has been thoroughly tested by many of our
best farmers with the greatest of satisfaction.
The Leaning is the earliest yellow dent corn
in cultivation; it will ripen in ninety days
from time of planting; it is extra carly; not a
hard, hinty corn, but sweet and nutritious,
making excellent feed and the finest meal, its
quality not being surpassed by any other
known variety. These facts alone will be
highly appreciated by farmers in the extreme
northern ATTITUDES where other kinds will not
ripen. The ears are long and handsome, with
