An explosion in a coffin that was
exhumed lately in Yorkville, S. c.,
is reported by the Enquirer of that
place. The coffin, which contained
the remains Of a child three or four
years old, was buried in 1875. Re-
Gently the parents Of the child bought
Il family lot in cemetery, and the
disinterment was for the purpose OF
transferring the body, which is said
to have beed found in an excellent
state Of preservation. There was a
glass panel in the casket, and the
heat of the sun shineing on this is
believed to have caused an expansion
ofgasses within the coffin, resulting
in the explosion, which is reported to
have equalled that Of a dynamite car

A SHREWD WILLIAM.

A death-bed confession made by a
dying man in Kansas brings to light
singular miscarriage of justice,
where the innocent suffered and the
guilty escaped to reap honors.
Several years ago John White was
county attorney of Rico county, Kan,
and a man named Lawrence was
treasurer. One morning the vaults
of the county treasury were found
opened and rifed of $4,000. Law
renee was arrested for robbery. He
was put on trial, and, despite his
protestations of innocence, he was
convicted and sent to the penitentia-
ry for three years. White, the coun-
ty attorney, conducted the case
against the prisoner He afterward
rose to distinction in state politics,
acquired wealth, and is now men,
Der of the Kansas legislature.
One DAY last week doctor dying
purged his conscience of its heavy
load by confessing that White was
the thief who robbed the county
treasury, and that he was particeps
criminis. Being called out early one
morning on professional visit, he
was passing the office of the county
treasurer, and saw a light. This was
50 unusual at that hour that he step
ped inside. White was in the act of
robbing the vault. He paid the doc
$4,000 of the $4,000 to keep the Sc
cret. They took the money, and
Lawrence was convicted of the crime.

PHENOMENAL FECuNDITY.
Naples letter to Paris Register. ]


The most extraordinary case Of
fecundity that | ever heard of came
to my knowledge last week. About
twenty-five miles from here, and by
rail two or three stations beyond
Pompeil, is the historical city of No
cera (the Nucera of the ancients).
In the rione, or ward, of Lipsota lives
Maddalena Granta, aged forty-seven,
who was married at the age of TWEEN
ty-eight to peasant, just nineteen
years ago. Maddalena Granata has
given birth to, either dead or living,
fifty-two children, forty-nine of whom
were males. She enjoys fine health,
is robust, and twenty-four hours after
her last accouchment was ready to 90
out to her accustomed labor in the
field. She has no hesitancy in con-
yersing with any one about her extra
ordinary pfollilcness. Herphyslclan,
DR.. Raphael dc Sanctic, of Nocera,
says that there is not the least exag-
geration in these statements. Has
any one ever heard fsuch phenome-
nal fecundity in the whole history OF
maternity ffty-two children, alive
or dead, in nineteen years. She has
had triplets fifteen times.

DENOCRTlC SILVER.

1t has now been definitely settled
that the large majority of demo-
Gratis in congress are opposed to the
suspension of silver coinage. In
this the party again proves itself
the reprcsentive of the people-feel-
ing with them and acting for their
best interests. Those who know
little of democratic principles and
less Greek may call our true lead
ers "silverphobists" but their argu-
ment only shows that, whether be-
hind or before, they are not with
the party with which they wish to
fraternise.
None have a truer reverence for
the character and purposes of Mr..
Cleveland than the great statesmen
who differ with him on this vital
point. But the president fully rec
ognizes the fact that further than
the part he has already taken in the
matter he can not go. The very
principle which urges him to resist
the attempted sncroachment of the
senate on the limits of his executive
authority, will prevent his interior
ence in the legislative business of
congress. He will make one of our
most useful chief magistrates-be-
fore the country tires of his admin
istration he will do much to
strengthen his party as we'll as TO
purify the methods of the govern
ments. But the party will never
heed his counsels as it does those Of
Tilden and Thurman and Bayard
and Lamar till he has gained more
experience, more political wisdom
and a clearer knowledge of public
affairs than it was possible for him
to have acquired before the cleo
ton to the presidency, and in the
short time which has elapsed since
his advent in Washington. 1t has
long been impossible to elect party
leaders to the highest office in the
land; neither can dozen terms
make 4 president the leader of his
party. Even Grant with all his
military prestige was never the real
leader of the republican party.

ex.soldiers who are strong enough

Of themselves and their families, is

pensions and claim to have been dis
abled in the service who yet hire
