Speaking of locomotive engineers the
Hartford Courant designated them as SET
of men who have in marked and manifest
degree the confidence of the public. how
many millions of us every year place our
lives In their keeping, and how seldom is
the trust misplaced The accident due to
the fault of the locomotive engineer is rare
indeed, and that in which the engineer de-
serts his post is even more rare. The To-
connective engineers are, in the first place,
selected men, chosen for their responsible
work; but after entering upon its duties,
the responsibilities of their position have q
large effect, no doubt, in developing their
characters One detects in looking at the
engineer as the train comes into the station
those same lines and the same expression
that used to be peculiarly characteristic OF
the experienced sea captain. The engineer
is the navigator on land. He must be tenn
perate, clear. headed, cool, quick in an en-
Urgency, and ne must also be skilled In
mechanics. From the beginning to the END
of his run he face danger. Such an exper-
fence; and it revives faith in human nature
to see how seldom the engineer fails in his
duty.

A True Dog story.

Last year a clergyman of Norfolk,
England, missed his pet dog, and there
was much grief in the family, for Rough,
the lost collie, was favorite with the
grown folks as we'll as with the children.
Some nine months later the clergyman,
happening to go to Cattle hill. where
the drovers were, saw Rough and joy
ously laid claim to him; but Rough's S
new master, drover, refused to give the
dog up, and there was dispute. OF
course the drovers were in sympathy
with their fellow, and the clergymen
found the odds against him. The drover
said that he had owned Rough for years
the minister held to it that Rough was
the very Rough he had raised. Two po.
licemen came running up, and the case
was stated. ''But how can you prove
ownership" asked one Of the officers
That put the minister in mind of some.
thing. He thrust his hand into pocket,
pulled out a penny, and gave it to the
dog with the command, "Rough, fetch
loaf" Rough, with the penny in his
mouth, went to the nearest bakery,
made it clear that he wanted some bread,
and soon came trotting back to the
crowd. The clergyman broke off a NOR.
sci, gave it to Rough, and stood by while
the dog munched it. Suddenly the cler-
gyman exclaimed, "Rough, believe that
bread is poisoned!" Out the dog spat
the piece Of bread, and the crowd cried
'Bravol" There was no longer doubt as
to the true ownership, and to the shame
of the drover the dog trotted off at the
minister's heels.

A PETRIFIED HUMAN BODY.
A Stone Man Exuned I'm an Old
Cemetery in PHILADELPHIA.

While the grave-diggers in st. Mary's
Church on Fourth and Locust streets,
Philadelphia, were exuming the re
mains of Thomas B. Mccormack last
evening, they discovered that the coffin
was so heavy that they could not move it,
The church records were examined and
it was asoertained that Mr. Mccormack
was buried in March l3, 1865, of the
age of fifty-one years, and was buried
Just in the rear of the church at a
depth of eleven feet. In April of the
following year his wife was buried III
the same grave at depth Of eight feet,
aud last Friday their daughter Lizzie,
was buried two feet above her mother.
Thomas B. Mccormick, Jr., the only
remaining member of the family, being
very i'll and expressed desire to be
buried in the same cemetery, it was
decided to exume the bodies and deepen
the grave.
The coffin containing the body of Mr..
Mccormick was found to be in a perfect
state of preservation, but when the
superintendent and his assistants under
took to remove it from the grave they
were sstonished to find that they could
not lift it. The assistance of two
other workingmen was obtained, but
still the great weight resisted their ef-
forts. Eight men were summoned but
they wers powerless to remove the
coffin until large plank had been
properly placed in position, when the
remains were drawn out head first.
Upon opening the coffin the workmen
were astonished to find petrifed body.
Tne features were preserved and life.
ike, and excepting q slight disfigure-
ment of the nose, not the slightest mar.
ring was distinguishable. Any person
who saw Mr.. Mccormick after his
death could easily recognize him. The
nose is the only portion of the body not
petrifed. 1t is rather soft and pliabIe.
The face is hard as marble and perfect
The chest and other portions of the
body are stone. The shroud is intact
and has not changed in appearance, and
even the neat black tie remains in po-
sition. The body has not been mum
mified.
A large number of ladies and gentle.
men looked at the body and were aston
ished. This is the second petrified
body disinterred here About six years
ago, upon removing the body of Mary
White, who had been buried seven
years in St. Mary's lower cemetery, at
Eleventh and Moore streets, it took
eight men to lift her. Her body was
removed to another cemetery. A petri.
fed body was also found in Philanthro.
phic Cemetery, Eleventh and Tasker
street seven or eight years ago.
The soil in the Mccormick grave was
com posed of rich mixed black earth and
perfectly dry. A sewer is laid under
this cemetery, which was founded in
1853. Many of the stones are crumbling
into dust.
The body of Mr.. Mccormick has been
reburried in the same grave, fourteen
feet under ground, that of the wife
twelve feet under ground, and that of
their daughter ten feet. This will leave
sufficient space for the interment of a
dying son. The coffins are inclosed
in new cedar coffins.
