Midnight In MarseiiIes' Cemetery.

Late at night l drove with my courier
outside the city to the cemetery, st,
Pierre, to see the burial of three cholera
patients whom had observed in Pharo
Hospital in the afternoon. The route
led through the poor quarter, and at
every corner bon6res were blazing to
purify the air. The whole population
was sitting out on the steps of tenements
or on church porches enjoying the fires
and the currents of air produced by
them. The country road beyond the
barriers brought us to the gates of the
cemetery. when the polite concierge,
who was potter still for ST., led us
walking down a spacious road, lighted
here and there by lanterns lying OH the
ground, to a place just back from where
we had been and where the nights
burials were TO take place. Soon the
first of the hearses appeared; then fol-
lowed the others. After brief burial
service lntoned by pale young priest,
who looked badly scared, three boxes
were hurriedly lowered into a trench
eight feet deep by twenty feet loug, and
goodly quantity Of lime shoveled on
top. 1t was a CHASTITY trench, and there
was plenty of room for more collins.
1t was a weird ahd saddening sight.
There stood the blanch-faced priest,
intent on lis holy calling, surrounded
by gang Of swart, bare-chested, bri-
gandish-looking laborers, who bore the
somber collins. For a background
there stood the tall white houses. The
dead still wore their tawdry trinkets,
and the whole was lighted up as in
picture by Rembrandt by the fitful
glare of three lanterns. Those gaping
trenches were big enough to hold their
thousands. A concierge showed me a
burial permit. Across the face of the
document was written "Cholera-
urgent and there was requisition
for Some disinfectant. | went back to
the central part of the city, and it was
gay enough. Bands were playing and
cafe lamps were cleaning. People in
throngs were walking in the streets
laughing merrily, and many heads were
poked out of the windows of the houses.
1t was hard for me to believe that had
Just visited the hospitals, and had wit
messed death, or that the terrible scenes
at the cemetery were realities and not
mere phautasms of my imagination.

One sultry night in Indiana | sat
busily writing up stairs, close TO an
open window. says Mr.. Lancey. My
lamp, placed upon my desk, attracted
countless numbers of the insect world
that come out to see their friends only
after dark; there was constant buzz
around the lamp, and many a scorched
victim, falling on its back, vainly kick
ed its little legs in air. Suddenly a
clear, low whistle sounded from the
Window whistle somewhat like the
sound made when boy blows into the
oritice Of trunk-key. Startled for a
moment turned my chair and beheld
on the window-sill little tree frog
gravely looking at me. His skln-of
an exquisite pale apple-green color
shone in the lamp-light, Fearful that
l might Brighten him away, | sat mo-
tionless in the chair, watching him in
tently. Presently he gave another lit
tie whistle, as clear and sharp as bird
note. He was evidently making up his
mind that l was to be trusted, u conf
dcnce not misplaced, and soon he gave
AN easy spring and was on the desk be-
fore me. l hardly dared to breathe,
lest he should be alarmed. He looked
at me carefully for a few minutes; and
then, hopping under the lamp, he began
a slaughter of the insect creation, such
as had never before witnessed. He
captured in flash any careless fly or
moth that came near him, declining to
touch the dead ones that had cremated
themselves.
After half an hours enjoyment of
this kind my apple-green friend hoped
rather lazily across the desk, repeated
the whistle with which he had entered.

into the dark. proceeded with my
work and soon forgot my visitor. But
Judge my surprise when on the next

his coming with his musical cry, and
again took up his position under my
lamp. For nearly three weeks did my
small friend visit my room nightly, and

would draw close up to his body first
one leg and then the other, and when
within proper distance he would dart
forward, and, snatching the fly, would
swing head downward, his hind feet
firmly glued to the wall. Then, attach
ing his forefeet, he would move in quest
of another. He never missed his aim,
and he would quietly and calmly zig
gag up and down the siae wall after
every fly he saw there. He became
quite accustomed to me, and would
hop on my hand and sit there looking
at me with agrave eomposure ludicrous
to behold.

A Midnight Cremation.

The body of an Indian gentleman has
been cremated at Etretat, France, in
curious circumstances. Baboo Sahed
Chatjay, Marableu gentleman, who
had accompanied his son-in-law, Sam
patras, the brother of the Maharajah
Gaekwar, of Baroda, one OF the chief
princes of India, to Europe, died re-
Gently at Etratat of an abscess In the
throat. Permission was requested of
the mayor to cremate the body, and be
Immediately telegraphed the authorities
for authorization enabling the Indians
to perform their sacred rites. He aided
them in every possible way to carry out
their intentions. The permission hay
ing been granted, at midnight wood
was carried down to the north end of
the beach, behind jutting point in the
cliff hidden from the town, and there a
pile Of two or three feet IN height was
carefully built of logs crossed and re.
crossed, with the ends toward the north
and south. The ceremony of sprink-
ling the sacred powder over the body
and amounting 1t was very simple,
The lire was i'll small earthen bowl
and was made of sandalwood, which is
difficult to obtain in Etretat. But in
this case a carved box. souvenir of
India was presented for the purpose to
the mourners by an English lady, who
happened to have it with her. The
body was laid upon the pile, with the
head toward the north, and then COW
cred with more wood saturated with
oil. 1t was now two O'Clock, and the
funeral pile was carefully built. The
secret of the cremation had been well

prince threw the burning incense in the
bowl upon the north end of the pile.
which instantly caught fire, and the
Indians, with raised hands, again re-
peated, "Ram, raml" Soon the whole
mass was wrapped in a fame that
climbed mp the cliff, brought the spec
tators out strongly against the dark
background and lit the foamy crest of
the waves. In an hour the flames be-
gan to subslde and more wood was piled
on Gradually the morning dawned
upon the ceremony. The wind had
blown away most of the cinders, and
among those remaining only few pieces
of bone, keeping their form, could be
found, and those crumbled when they
were touched. What human ashes
could be distinguished we're gathered
up, part being thrown into the sea
aud the rest sealed up to be sent to In
dla. BY SIX O'Clock every vestige of the
cremation had disappeared.

scrimmage with tigress. She had
mauled my own tusker badly, had
crushed the mahout's foot into a jelly,
while she had eau sed me to be thrown
off, and after mauling two other ele-
plants, not badly, she had forced us to
retreat for the time, as It got dark, and

found her dead and took her into camp.
