She knew nothing OF politics. nothing

she considered, was the danger OF her
husband, who was all the world to her.
When her prayer was denied at the
Vatican she stopped not to reason OUT
the right or wrong OF her unhapplness:
she could not. Reason swooned, and
from that time to within Il few days

which occurred III June. 1851, has
never been fully communicated TO

Premature Burials.

From the Philadelphia North American.
"The world would behorrified, said
a well-known undertaken the other

that are buried before life is extinct.
Once in a while one OF these cases
comes to light, but no steps are taken
to prevent its recurrence.

twelve wears ago has worried me ever
since. Twas sent for one day to take
charge of the body OF Il man m

fallen over while sitting on his bench

40 years ofage, and weighed about $50
pounds. The body was warm and the
limbs were limp. | did not believe the
man was dead, and said so. His friends
told me that physician had pro

put the body on ice at once, but de-
fayed this operation on one preteXt

ing this time the body lay on the bench
in the little shop. Finally, could de-

about the same time a yOungwOm-
an living up town was suppos ii to
have died very suddenly. Aphyslcian
was called in. He said she was dead.
An old woman who was present
thought otherwise and insisted upon 1t
| that she was in trance. The body
was buried. A few weeks after the old
woman determined to satisfy herself
about it. and bribed the grave-digSerS
to disinter the coffin. The lid was re-
moved and a horrible sight was seen.
The Young woman had come to life
| and had made a terrible struggle fol

her tace was frightfully scratched
She had turned over on her face.

The Horrors of an Awful Road.

The London Standard prints the
following extract from letter from an
officer OF the Scots Guards at Suakim,
in which an account is given OF the
state OF the ground after the fight at
McNeill's zereba:
We marched back from Tamai) to
the zereba that night, and bivouacked
among the corpses outside, which,
though buried, asserted their presence
in most empathic way. Next day
we marched back to Suakim, never
again, as hope, to see McNeill's zere-
ba. Tom Cringle' ought to have
been there to paint adequately the
horrors OF that six miles march.
When going from Saukim the last three
miles of the march were marked at
every step by graves. Arab and In

Sundays fight, lay the fostering bod

moving when our column passed, hun
dreds of kites and vultures. The
ground was also thickly sown with
hands and feet dragged from their
graves by the hyenas, and the awful
stencil and reek of carrion which load
ed the air will never be forgotten, as
think, by any of us. Day after day
we passed and repassed over the same
sickening scene with our conveys, in
binding dust and under a scorchng
sun, obliged to move at a foot's pace
with the weary camels, and to pick
our steps carefully for fear of suddenly
setting foot on one Of those dreadful
heaps of corruption. | have

PRESIDENTIAL POVERTY.
Few Of Our Executives Who Have Left
Fortunes Behind Them.

John Adams, at the age of sc, after
twenty-six years of continuous public
service, writes correspondent to the
Cleveland Leader, retired to his little
estate near Quincy, Mass, with barely
enough property to give him the needs
of life on farm and the only thing he
got from the United States during his
latter years was the privilege of receiv-
ing and sending his letters without post
age.
Thomas Jefferson had to borrow
something less than $4,000 of Rich
mond bank to pay his debts before he
left the white house, and the history of
the last seventeen years of his life is one
of utmost continuous financial embar-
rassment. During the forty-four years
which he devoted to the service of his
country his property dwindled away
and his estate became involved. In
asking for the above loan he says: "My
nights will be almost sleepless, as moth
ing could be more distressing to me
than to have debts here Tin Washington
unpaid, if, indeed, I should be permit
ted to depart with them unpaid, of
which am by no means certain
He obtained the loan, but he went
from Washington still owing $4,000,
and few years later he was forced to
sell his library, which he had been sixty
years in gathering to relieve his neces-
sites. Congress, parsimonious then as
now, valued it at half its cost, and gave
him 1923, 900 for what was worth $780,
600. In 1919 and 1920 there wereshard
times in this country, and jefferson,
now a man of II, lost $40, 600 by ips
dorsing for friend, and he tried to re-
lieve himself by selling some of his
lands. But timeswere bad and there
were no purchasers Land would not
