BURIALS ALIVE.
A Gentleman Gets Out of His Coffin
and Dances at Ball.

Burials alive are more common in hot coun-
tries, where the burial takes place within
twenty-four hours after death, than they are
here, where one gets as a rule weeks grace
In Spain the body is frequently removed to
the undertakers shop a few hours after
death. In one of the largest of these estab-
lishments in Madrid. some years ago, an ex-
traordinary sight was witnessed A gentle
man was brought in his "casket' one after
noon and placed in the room set apart for
that brahch of business. The proprietor
lived over his premises, and on this special
evening was giving grand ball. When the
ball was at its height, a gentleman in full
evening dress suddenly Joined the company.
He danced with the wife of the undertaken,
and he danced with the undertaker's daugh-
ter, and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying
himself The undertaken thought he knew
his face. but didn't like to be rude and ask
him his name, but by and by all the guests
departed, and the strange gentleman was the
only one left. "Shall send for cab for
you?' said the host at last. ''No, thank
you" replied the gentleman; I'm staying
in the house." Staying in the housew ex-
claimed the undertaken; "who are pou, sir?"
What! don't you know me? I'm the
corps that was brought in this afternoon.
The undertaken Mortified rushed to the
mortuary room and found the coffin empty
His wife and daughter had been dancing
with corpse. An explanation, of course,
followed. The gentleman, who had only
been in a trance, had suddenly recovered,
and hearing the music and reyelry above and
having keen sense of humor, had got out of
lid which is only locked previous to inter-
ment) and joined the festive party. He was
quite preSentable as in Spain the dead are
generally buried in full evening dress.

The Belfast Ages editor has returned from
the Democratic State convention in very
unhappy frame Of mind. and proceed to re-
lieye himself by hurting darts. On the tenn
perance question he hits the partyvery well.
"The discussion [of the license plank
showed" he declares, "that not few who
seek election through the aid of the saloon
are quite as intolerant prohibitionists as the
Republican or even third party men, while a
larger number are mere policy men, who are
sincerely opposed to the law, but fear that
the agitating Its repeal will injure its pros
poets of office" Thus the Ages conclusion
as to its party. is: that what prohibitionists
there are in it are hypocrites; and that what
license men there are in it are towards As
most, If not all, the Democrats are either
prohibitionists or friends of license, the con-
clusion is inevitable that the Age considers
Its party made up Of hypocrites and cow
ards.

The Belfast Age complains of the coward
ice of the Democratic State convention in
not having the courage of its convictions and
placing license plank in the platform. Had
those" it says, ''who in the Democratic con-
ference, a few months ago, emphatically ex-
pressed themselves in favor of putting an
anti-prohibitory plank in the platform, stood
by what they then said. such a resolve would
have been adopted and the party placed up
on true Democratic ground, and placed,
moreover, in position to make an advance"
T1erAge alleges that at the conference ex-
Gov. Plaisted was very strongly in favor Of
the proposed step, but in the convention he
moved the rejection of the anti-prohibitory
resolve. Mr.. Putnam's conduct in opposing
the license resolution does not receive the
Ages approval. Nor does his candidacy ex-
cite its enthusiasm. Its complaint is that he
is not sufficiently in sympathy with the peo-

In the course Of his work to make the con-
straction of the Oldtown mill certain, Gener-
al Hamlin has given considerable attention
to the business of wooden manufacturing
generally. "Itis very different from cotton
manufactury," he SAYS. There is not,
think, wooden mill in Maine, except Mr..
Linn's, that makes yard of goods except
on order. Mr.. Linn makes shawls special
ty, and they have such reputation that they
go like hot cakes. But most of the wooden
manufacturers work on orders which they
receive from the merchants who handle the
goods, Much depends on these merchants.
They not only handle the goods, but they
advise as to styles and designs; And queer
thing is that these styles are determined for
as far as a year ahead. The Dobsons, l
have no doubt, could show you goods in their
mill to-day that will not go onto the market
for year. Linn, too, who has become ia
nous for the designs of his shawls, could no
doubt show you shawls all manufactured
that will not be in style until next year.
They are always ahead of the styles, but
never behind them, you may be certain"
