The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-05-22

EMBALMED BY THE ESoIL.-Human
bodies buried in limestone coun-
tries are often turned to solid stone
by the lime water which penetrates
the graves. In other soils there are
elements which sometimes so en-
balm the buried dead as to preserve
form and features unchanged.
Many such cases are on record.
Robert Burns body was disinterred
in 1915, to be removed to a tomb.
To the surprise of all his friends,
the features were found to be per-
feet as at burial.
The case of John Hampden, the
famous English patriot and leader,
was more surprising. His body was
disinterred by Lord Nugent, two
hundred years after burial, but form
and features were as unchanged as
if the corpse had been recently laid
in the grave.
When General Washington's body
was taken up at Mt. Vernon, to be
laid in a sarcophagus and removed
to the permanent tomb, his face
was found to be in state of perfect
preservation.
In all these cases, however, the
process of decay had gone internal
ly, though arrested at the surface.
After brief exposure to the air, the
body crumbled, and all rcsem-
blance to life passed away.-Youth's
Companion,
The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-05-22
The organist Caught Mapping.

One of the ablest clergymen in
Maine has the habit of often MAX
ing a pause of several minutes in
the midst of his remarks. This is
seldom embarrassing to himself or
to his audience, for when he re-
sumes there is always something
good enough to justify the wait. One
Sunday a short time since he made
an exchange of pulpits, and during
his prayer he made one of his ac-
customed pauses. The organist
had not perhaps been paying that
strict attention which organists in
general are accustomed to pay. He
had no doubt been dreaming of
some syphony which has never vet
been vouchsafed to mortals to inter
pret. But the solemn silence rous-
ed him from his reyerie. He listen
ed. The stiffness was gaining the
prayer was apparently done. His
hands sought the keys and music
tioated upon the air. The congraga-
ton was somewhat agitated, but not
SO to the reverend gentleman. He.
waited until the last strain died
away, and beginning, ''we further
beseeeh thee, o Lord" went on, and
brought the prayer to its proper
conclusion.
Again the tones Of the organ were
heard, but this time more softly
sweet than before. The organist
was now wide awake, but he pre-
ierred to pour forth his soul in the
minor key.-Ex.

In the Twinkling of an Eye.

The photograph is now as nearly
instantaneous" as possible. When
everything is ready, "Click !" and
the artificial eyelids has opened
and shut. What has it seen in that
little instant of time If anything
is in motion, it has been perceived
in that fragrant of a second as if
motionless. Men walking along
the street are pictured with uplifted
feet. A trotting horse may be
caught with all of its four legs in
the air, viewed just at the very
moment when he was clear of the
ground. A man leaping with a
high pole may be pictured in mid
air, precisely in the position in
which he eappears at the highest alti-
tude. Motion seems not rest. But
this is not the most powerful of its
powers. Far beyond the keenness
of human vision is its range ofsight
If the light is good, this sensitive
plate of glass will have recorded and
discerned a thousand uplifted faces
as perfectly as the human eye per-
ceives the features of single coun-
tenance. Every expression of joy
or sorrow, every peculiarity of dress
or attitude, the leaves of a forest or
the grass by the wayside, have been
seen and delineated and retained
perfectly in far less than the brief
est possible twinkling Of human
eye.-Ex.

New England Lawyers.

A prominent Maine journalist,
formerly editor of a Portland paper,
once practiced law in Foxcroft, and at
that time n quaint old man named
Graves lived in the neighboring town
of Guilford. He had little property,
but was very slow about paying his
bills. He became indebted for small
amounts to a number of storekeepers
in Dover and Foxcroft, and they gave
their claims to this journalistic law
yer to collect. He wrote several let
ters to the old man which produced
no effect, till one day he threatened to
attach his farm if he did not call and
settle within forty-eight hours. This
threat made the old man pull out his
stocking, and on the next morning
after receiving it he appeared at the
lawyers office and announced that he
was prepared to pay. GLOW much
does it all amount to, 'Squirel = he
asked.
"Twenty-eight dollars" said the
lawyer.
4How's that, Squire? ?" demanded
the old man.
"You owe Ferguson Sc and Snicker-
son so and Suggerson So, and my
charge for collecting is S."
81 didn't know you had any bill
against me, Squirrel"
81 must have my pay for writing
those letters to you"
"Well, I declare, Squire, 1 wasn't
calculatin' on that. I'm pretty old
man, most SO, and it was hard for me
to get this money together to pay
these bills. I'm not prepared to pay
you"
The old man begged the lawyer to
let him off; and after considerable mis-
chievous talk the lawyer said:
'Look here, Mr.. Graves, you have
made considerable mischievous talk
about me- You have gone through
the country calling me big liar and
other hard names. Now, if you will
go around and see everybody to whom
you have made the talk and tell them
that what you've said about me is
false, I'll knock off the S."
After rubbing his old gray head,
the old man answered Now, then,
I'm most 92 years old, and too near
eternity to tell such 'tarnal lie as
that"
The Hon. A. G. Lebroke, of Fox
craft, once swapped an old wagon
with Graves for four cords of wood.
Graves signed contract written by
Lebroke, to the effect that Graves
should deliver Lebroke four cords of
merchantable wood. Where the wood
should be delivered was not stated.
Many months went by and Lebroke
received no wood. Happening in
Guilford, he asked the old man about
it.
"Oh, yes" said Graves, "I've cut
your wood and it's as nice a lot of
wood as ever you saw. You just
come and look at it.
He took Lebroke into the woods
and showed him four cords of excel
lent cord wood, piled up in the for
est.
''There, Squire Lebroke," said he,
II deliver that wood to you" Turn
ing to a neighbor who had accompan-
led them he added, "And I want you
to witness that deliver this wood to
to Mr.. Lebroke."
The Senator had to hire teamster
to haul the wood to Foxcroft. He
says it was the first and only time he
ever was beaten on a contract that he
wrote himself. - Lelpiston( Me-. .Tol,y.n0I

HAIR FOR WfGs.-The hair for
making wigs comes from all parts
of the world. The natural blonde
comes from Norway and Sweden.
Dealers in the south of France sup
ply great quantities of dark hair,
and thousands of pounds of black
hair are brough from Italy to New
York every year China sends us
the cheapest hair, but it is rather
coarse, and is used in manufacture
ing low grade theatrical wigs and
back pieces, braids and bangs for
ladies street wear. By bleaching
and dying, Chinese hair can be Civ
en- any color that is desired. But it
assumes auburn shades best, and an
enormous quantity of it has been
used. The Swedish hair is rarely
longer than twenty-five inches, and
when received here it is always dir
ty and teeming with insects. French
hair is generally clean, but the Ital-
ian hair, which comes to New York
in 160-pound bundles, is exceeding
ly filthy, and the workmen who
clean it before it is purchased by
the wig-makers sometimes contract
diseases from handling it. Dyed
hair is called "dead," and becomes
harsh after being worn a short time.
Chemicals are used to give it a
glossy appearance. Besides the hu-
man hair large quantities of yak
and angora goat hair and jute fiber
are used.

A new DiscOvery.

We have always maintained that this
district, and. in fact, all the mining dis
tricts of the county, has never been pros
pected, in the true sen e of the word
As an illustration of this we have only
to mention that a few days ago, Will,
coming from his work on the Keystone
mine, Dan Holloway picked up a piece
of rock, which had been broken off by
some wagon wheel, in the road Just above
Judge Williams house and found it to
be good chloride ore. In looking foi
the place from which it had been broken
off he discovered indications of ledge
running across the road. He in ormed
Mr.. Moses, the owner of the ground,
OF his discovery, and a few
hours work with pick and shovel soon
developed the existence of a large ledge
of good chloride ore. Several pieces of
the ore were then broken up and sam
pied, and the assay returned l72
ounces to the ton. Messrs. Holloway,
Moses and Trimbath have been work
ing on this new discovery all the week
and have several sacks of good ore as
the result. The ledge being largest
where it crossed the road, shaft has
been commenced at that spot, previous
to which it was necessary to make a
road. Several moro samples have been
sent to Kingman for Assay, and the work
of development is going right along

FRUIT For FOOD.

With no reference now to the proprie

very few families use sufficient amount
of the fruits, Us part OF the meals, not
simply as a mere sensual indulgence,
taking fruits at the close of the meal,
when enough food has been eaten, or at
any time that fancy may suggest In
many, if not most families, it would be
safe and judicious to reduce the amouns

ripe and sound fruits Cooked or un-
cooked, these are very palatable, easily
digested and wholesome, the more acid
ones, so cooling and agreeable to the un.
vitiated taste, being particularly appro-
priate in the summer. Indeed, much OF
the heat and discomfort experienced in
the spring and summer, produced by
stimulating AID fatty meats, would be
materially affected by free use of the

the fruits raised in any locality, any

leptic state is not resisted, but in some
measure encouraged, and attacks may
thus be induced by the most trivia cir
cumstances. In the case of Miss
Thomas, however. this is impossible for
the reason that she is always attacked
in her sleep, and it is scarcely credible
that vivid dream could produce the
requisite emotions for cataleptic condi-
ton. The successful treatment of the
disease according to tho authorities must
depend upon the due recognition OF both
it's corporate and meutal relations.
While the state of health will demand
the attention of the physician, his skill
and Judgment will be no less urgently
called for in dealing with the mental
and moral characteristics manifested in
each particular case. DIR. --- has
shown that efforts directed to obtain
command of the patients will, so as to
compel her to resist to the utmost the
inclination to fall into the catalepic
state, may succeed in curing even aGgra-
waited examples of this disease. Oak

The Fatal Outcome.

about ten years, was fatally shot by
Manuel Rios, who fired into a crowd of
men aud boys gathered together to wit.

died yesterday evening, and it was
thought best to hold an inquest and
post.mortem examination over the
body of the deceased in order to more
firmly establish the cause of death. 1t
seems that two men were engaged 10
shooting into the crowd, one using a
large bore pistol and the other one a
weapon carrying smaller ball.

months been employed in the Cotton
