Horace Greeley on Wines.

Grorse William Curtis, in his recent ad.
dress at the seventy eighth annual dinner ol
the New England Society. told the follow
ing characteristic anecdote Of Horace Gree
ley.
Il remember many Years ago, when was
one of a group Of Young writers upon The
Tribune and Mr. Greeley was an ardent tenn
perance reformer, that vigorous article ap-
peared one morning urging young men q
avoid the ten.pter in whatever form he might
appear. whether as punch or bi.ters, as sher-
~ or MADEIRA. as hook or caret, as Held
sleek OF champagne. The young writers =
who were not ardent Temperance reformers
greeted Mr.. Greeley uproarousiy when he
appeared at the office and with infinite gee
pointed out to him that Heidsieck was not
different wine, but only particular brand
of champagne. As the laugh rang round
the room Mr.. Greeley, who, as his opponents
usually found, was quite able to hold his
own, leaned with his shoulder against the
wall looking bengnly a, the laughing Choir
US, and when it became quiet he said Wal
bows, guess I'm the only man in this office
who could have made that mistake. and thcn
added; 1T don't matter hat you call him,
champagne OF iieidseck, or absinthe, he's
the same old devil.

/. A Cheap Way OF Getting the Laws Into the
Hands of the People.
To hs Editor Of lAe Register.
With respect to your editorial in Friday
issue relative to compilation of the stat
ues, permit me to suggest the most econom-
ical and expeditions plan. In 1879 issued
my compilation Of the laws which received
the unqualified praise and endorsement Of
the bench and the bar. After the adjourn
ment of the Legislature in 1882 | compiled
all the laws then in force on the plan Of the
code preparatory to q second edition OF the
code with explanatory notes and marginal
reference 70 al the decisions and all prior
laws.
The Legislature of 1888 was petitioned By
nearly all the Circuit Judges, and most all
the lawyers in the State to take this manu-
script to publish it as an authentic compila-
ton Of the laws
Since then the legislation Of 1888 has
been inserted, and the legislation of the
present session can easily be placed in it.
viii guarantee that this manuscript is
absolutely correct, and in fact more correct
than the code of 1865 and many of the pub
hshed acts. IF the Legislature wants to
publish correct compilation of the laws
at the smallest possible expense the State
can have this manuscript at its own price,
and have it printed by the public printer, or
let out to the lowest bidder; hence, if it be
so desired there will be no expense but the
cost Of publication
This proposition has been made to the
Judiciary Committee. / have corrected
one hundred and three omissions and errors
made by the legislation OF 1881 and 1882,
and the Reyisory Committee.
So correct and meritorious was my COM
pilation in 1879 that Governor Mathews, in
hiS message to the Legislature Of 1881, rec
commended its adoption by the State, using
the following language THE work has
been prepared with great care and accuracy
as is worthy Of adoption by the State as an
authentic compilation Of the statutes" And
all the judges in the State have used similar
if not stronger, language.

NEWPORT, Perry county, Pa, February
20.-On Monday morning John Wisholm,
of Centre township, was taken suddenly i'll,
and before physician could be summoned
he died. His form was cold and rigid, the
lower Jaw fallen and the ashy pallor of
death on the face. The family gave loud
expressions to their grief, the eldest son in
particular He called on his father to
come back, and with difficulty was re-
strained from prostrating himself upon the
corpse. Hoping to comfort the grief
stricken family BY spiritual consolation, the
resident clergyman remained with them
until p. m. Then, as he was about To. go
away, the son was seized with another
paroxysm Of grief more violent than any
preceding il. lie threw himself on the body
of his father, embraced him, and piteously
implored him to speak once more, and not
to leave him without 8 recognition. As
though the agonized voice penetrated the
silence Of the other world, the bps Of the
father moved, the eyes opened and cast q
sad, reproachful look on the weeping son,
and in the Eellknown voice came distinctly
these words:
"0h, WHY did you call me back?
As soon as the awe stricken group could
regain their composure they Immediately
administered restorstiVes to the patient.
When the clergyman left him he was very
weak but still alive. Yesterday he related
his experience up to the time be was sppar,
emily recalled to life.
When he died he first felt sinking senSs'
ton, knew everything that went on in the
room, but could not speak BE next re
membered Of being in a dense darkness and
being led by two invisible forms, moving as
though floating in the air, with nothing
above or below. Then il seemed to gel
lighter every moment, and he saw two beau
tiful, shining forms on either side Of him,
he experienced q feeling Of perfect
peace and heard the most soothing
and delightful music. The feeling
of rest was the most noticeable thing in hi
new state, until it was disturbed by q voic'
in pain calling him. he felt a-thril of re
pret, then all became black, and he seemed
to be back in the old pain.raeked bod
again, and opening his eyes he found bis sor
and family crying and calling on him Il
come back.
Mr.. Wisholm lived until yesterday, snC
then died, as bis family sincerely believe, {
second time. Whether the man was in I
syneope, from which the piercing lamenta
tons Of the family aroused him, or whether
he had, indeed, been permitted to return
after q glance into the other world, nom
can answer. One thing, however, is Ger
tain. that for the space Of nearly twenty toul
hours, in the opinion Of the doctor, the pas
tor and the family, and 80 far as outward in
dieations are guide, the man was dead.
