CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE.

Dead Man That Ate Bread and Drank Wine
The Awakening.
An elderly gentleman residing in the
Rue Rochechouart, Paris, who was So D.
posed to be dead, has suddenly come back
to life. He has nephew in Paris, VINO
on being infoImed of his demise on Sun
day, repaired at once to the house with
his wife, to keep watch over the murta re-
mains Of his uncle until they should be
borne to their last resting place. On
Monday evening, as the lady Was tired,
her husband took her TO the drawing
room to secure some repose on a sofa and
q servant having placed some bread and
wine on tie table, he threw himself into
an armchair in the bed room and SOON
went soundly TO sleep. On awakening at
4 in The morning, he found that the bread
had disappeared, and the bottle of win
was half gone. Becoming alarmed, he
went 10 his wife in the drawing room,
reused her, and told her what had hap
pened. She returned to the bed room
with him, but the pair had hardly reached
the door when they heard noise. They
paused on the threshold, and to their
CONSERVATION, q voice babe them not to
be afraid but to come in. The husband
entered the room but soon came rushing

terrified relatives TO understand that he

repeated, adding that the preparations

had helped himself to the food which had
done him good. Hearing some one ap-
preaching he jumped into bed, as he was
anxious not to cause any alarm; but he
was himself again. He felt perfectly re-
covered, and certainly on close examina-
tion the uncle's appearance by no means
beiied his words. The refreshments had

him, and as he was much pleased with the
affectionate attention which the relatives
had shown him after his supposed depar-
ture from this world, everything was coon
made happy and comfortable all around.
The doctor of the quarter had not yet
officially confirmed the demise of the
worthy uncle, who seems to have taken a
new lease of life.

What Servants Cost.

Joseph Howard, writes to America re-
garding salaries paid to domestics in
New York. Here are his statements: 81
don't believe Mr.. Vanderbilt pays $1O,-
900 a year for his head cook. I should
think less of him than do if such we're
fact, but that cooks-chefs as they are
cslled-are paid as much as $4,000 in
several private families is fact. That
buffers ane creek coachmen, and particI
larly Winsome footmen, get high pay, and
that favorite ladies' maids and useful
personal attendants make much more
money than their less favored sisters, is
uadeniable. Wages, however they may
differ in individual instances, average
$25 month for man walters, the rest OF
the servants being women; 500 for the
cook, SIT or $18 for laundress, Sit TO,
chambermaid. suppose in family
where two servants are employed, q cool
receives on the average SIC month and
chsmbermaid $13; and in homes where {
general hoasegirl alone is employed, from
$12 to SIS month. These prices art
much higher than they were 20 years ago
when moderately placed families paid s.
q Month for q cook and So for q chamber
maid.

'WelI, / dol You can tattoo it-or, rath-
er, get the sailor to tattoo it. 1t need not
be very long"
he asked, astonished.
''You can have it tattooed on the back
of the other sailor, Johnnie, if he will al
low you; and as for material, you have
some revolver cartridges; if the gunpowder
is mixed with water, it would do, should
think"
~'Pon my word,'' said Mr.. Meeson, "you
are wonderful womanl Whoever would
have thought of such a thing except
woman? Go and ask the man Johnnie,
there's good girl, if he would mind my
will being tattooed upon his back"
"Wen," said Augusta, "it's queer sort
of message, but I'll try" Accordingly,
taking little Dick by the hand, she went
across to where the two sailors were sit
ting outside their hut, and putting on hei
sweetest smile, first of all asked Mr.. Bill
if he would mind doing little tattooing
for her. To this Mr.. Bill, finding time
hang heavy upon his hands, and wishing
to be kept out of the temptation of the
rum cask, graciously assented, saying that
he had seen some sharp fish bones lying
about which would be the very thing,
though he shook his head at the idea OF
| using gunpowder as the medium. He said
it would not do at all well, and then, as
though suddenly seized by an inspiration,
| started off down to the shore.
Then Augusta, as gently and nicely as
she could, approached the question with
Johnnie, who was sitting with his back
against the hut, his battered countenance
wearing peculiarly in-favored express
sion, probably owing to the fact that he
was suffering from severe pain in his head,
as result of the debauch Of the previous
night.
| Slowly and with great difficulty, for his
understanding was none Of the clearest.

Mrs Mary Peck Cheyes Speaks.

To the Editor of the BEE: The Bridgeport Standard and other Republican papers are al- most daily printing extracts from the Demo crat of New York, which, if read in good faith by the unsuspieious citizen, would lead hiin to believe that the Prohibition and Democrat ic parties were combining their forces for the one object of destroying the Republican par ty irrespective of the saloon. All thorough W informed men know that there never has been and never can be any sympathy between the Democratic party as 1t now exists and the Prohibition party, which is organized tor the destruction of the saloon; but even sucl readcrs may not be aware that the Democrat IS published under the patronage of the Re publican national committee for campaig, purposes only and IS ahs,ripu.en i frne ta uIl No Democrat claims any connection wltl the paper and Prohibitionists repudiate al1k' its free trade arguments and its pretended co aliton with their party.

Sandy Hooks Burglary.

The store of Warner 6 Clark at Sandy Hook was burglarized, last week, thieves breaking in at night and stealing about SlOO worth of goods. Three strangers were noticed in the Hook, the evening before. One of them went into Mir Iroy,s and inquired about the route to Water bury and, at Mir Augurs market, anoth- CT bought eight cents worth of bologna, claiming that eight cents was all the money that he had. They also inquired the time that trains left for Waterbury at the Sandy Hook depot. Later in the night, the blacksmith shop of MT Patsy Kelly was entered and a bit and three chisels secured. Three holes were bored through the south front door of the store, one above the other where the doors meet. This accomplished nothing and the south window of the store was pried up. breaking the catch that projected from the upper sash. The inside WIn- dow shutter was also forced open and, once inside the store, the thieves secured three suits of clothes, three overcoats, three undershirts and, probably, three hats. as the hats were scattered about in the morning. The 15 or 20 raZors in the l store were taken and the small change, I which MT Warner thinks might have amounted to 90 cents. The thieves went as they came, closing the window after them and the loss was not known until
 the store was opened in the morning
 The Democrats report that the money o1
 the firm is kept in a safe at the house o1 Hon $. P. Glover was incorrect, as money
 is not stored there. The burglars were
 evidently toughs on tramp, perhaps go
 ing home from Danbury's fair, as the.
 had to steal the tools to work with ant

 like philosophers and made no effort t, hunt up the burglars. This is the fourtl
 time that this store has been broken into A lead key was used the first time, a was discovered when it was found brok
 en off in the lock. The door was prie open the second time and the third visit at which the silk drawer was pillageo ]. was made through the transom windo'
