CAME TO LIFE IN HIS COFFIN.
A Priests Vain Struggle to Escape MeIan-
 choly Fate.

A terrible incident in the cholera epidemic Is reported from Spain. A devoted priest, who had labored zealously among the stricken people was finally prostrated by the scourge himself. The disease passed through all the regular stages and the priest apparently died. The frightened people who were about him made only nasty examination of the body and placed it in coffin, screwed down the lid, and left it over night to be buried in the morning. When the bearers came in the morning fearful sight presented itself. The coffin had been upset and had fallen from the table to the floor. The body was twisted around and partially doubled showing that il had been writhing in mortal agony. The face was appalling in it's expression of hopeless horror. The hands were bleeding.
 It is feared that many cases of premature burial may have occurred during the present epidemic in consequence of the great fright among the people, which causes them to gel rid of tho dead at tho earliest poasible moment

THE LAST JOURNEY.
THE LAST FUNERAL SERVICES OVER THE REMAINS OF GEN. GRANT.
The Sermon nt Mount McGroEOr-LyinH in State at Albany-In New York City.

The last sunday with their dead was spent by the Grant family almost in strict privacy During the morning they wore entirely alone; in the afternoon they were joined for devo- tional services by the Rev. Dr. Newman and Mrs, Newman. The day was one of rare bounty and brought trainloads of visitors. A Tow had come in the hope of getting into the house, but the great majority were content merely to walk by or to gather in quiet groups on tho outlying knoll Nothing disturbed the reyerent stiffness of tho day and scene. The orderly pacing of the outdoor sentries and the tiptoed tread of the guard ct the coffin were nYt more decorous than the conduct of tho visitors.
 At about one o'clock Sunday afternoon, at tho close of the second morning watch of the body guard, UlysseDGrant led his mother to the rarlor. The coffin lid had not been raised since last night The son himself removed it. They remained with 1t few minutes only, when the guard resumed duty. The face showed some little change since the day be- rUc, discoloration under the eyes again ap- bearing. By the morning train wreath Of wheat tops interwoven with black came from Boston friend. Col. Grant entered with it while his mother was there. A card attached to It bore the words, "At rest" It was fast ened to the cover of one of the pieces of fur nlture. The stand on which flowers have been placed is now covered with gifts, among them She floral tokens from the U. 8. Grant Post, which are still kept up daily. It was about o'clock when the Rev. Dr. Newman and Mrs Newman went to the cot tage 70 take part in the family devotions. All or the family joined them in the parlor. pr. Newman read the eleventh chapter of Job. The Commentary upon the lesson was simple and touching. Nearly all engaged in it, and all testified to the comfort that it brought in sffiiction. Then they joined in prayer, Dr. Newman kneeling near the coffin. resting his hands on the draped Holdings of the flag on which the coffin reposes. The lid was again lifted after the service, when all looked upon the quiet face. The scene was one of sorrow restrained Mrs. Grant bore up with forti- tude.
 The funeral services of Gen. Grant at the Drexel Cottage, Mt. McGregor, on Tuesday, were as follows :- Scripture reading, psalm xc. Prayer by the Rev Bishop ". l.. Harris of the Methodist Episcopal Church, New York.
