From the Merchant Traveller.

Does it affect you so much as that?'
.'Yes, indeed"

Guided by Daniel Webster's Spirit.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
A funny story is told of one Of the United
States Senators, whether it can be verified or
not. There certainly are two Senators who are
believers in spirit communication. The one in
question is said to attend seance once week
during session. when he believes he is in COM
munication with Daniel Webster. Upon all
public questions he is decided by the great de-
ceased statesman, and therefore believes he
cannot go wrong. MIR. Webster's usual method
OF communicating his advice is to write through
medium on slate. These states are pre-
served as sacred, and the advice is rigidly fol-
lowed. Webster ought to have wider range
OF influence, and take in few Senators who
always go wrong. The time may come when a
Senate Of distinguished, select and economical
ghosts shall take control at Washington and
send the corporal Senators home and not only
save us big bill of expense. but put an end to
jobs and long sessions. Webster was a strong
tariff man.

LIVE PEOPLE BURIED.
The Awful Story Of q woman's Fate.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
In Russia people are oftener than elsewhere
Observation-Disclosures of course-to that
most gruesome Of all deaths, of which E. A.
Poe had such unfeigned horror-burial alive.
But the circumstances accompanying this
frightful torture are seldom 80 Characteristic or
so horrible as in the case of the wife Of peas
ant In the government Of volhynia, on the
borders OF Austria, who, according to the local
journal Vohynia. was lately buried in coma
tose state. She was expecting soon to become
a mother at the time of her supposed DEATH
After the corpse" had been kept the usual
time, the parish priest, Konstantinoff, recited
the prayers OF the burial service in the church.
yard; the widower cast three handfuls of earth
ON the coffin, and all departed except the grave
diggers. In filling up the grave the latter
shoveled IN an unusually large sod of hard
earth, which struck the coffin with a loud noise
and woke up the unfortunate woman from her
sleep. The horror Of her position at once
dawned upon her. She cried out in most
piteous tones to the grsve-digger to rescue her
from horrible death. She solemnly promised
them all her property if they would take her
from the grave and coffin. The more she cried
and entreated, the more strenuous were their
endeavors to I'LL the grave; and on leaving the
churchyard, when their work was done, they
still heard her cries and moans
The gravediggers then hurried off to her
husband who was surrounded with guests
drinking to the memory of the deceased. Hav-
ing related what had taken place the matter
was discussed by the guests and the neighbors,
who soon came rushing in, and it was finally
resolved mem con. that an evil spirit had taken
possession of the deceased. and that in order
to prevent her walking at night, and disturb
ing the people, it was absolutely necessary to
disinter her and drive an aspen stake through
her body. The husband sent deputation to
the priest, asking permission to disinter the
body and perform this superstitious rite
deemed necessary in all such cases. The
priest, Mortified, hurried off to the churchyard
and had the body disinterred. in the hope of
saving life, but superstition had already got
its victim-the woman was dead, but unmis-
taxable signs showed she had struggled hard
to escape from the most horrible death the
human mind can conceive.

To Retaliate on Our Contractors.

Ottawa Special to the New York World
There is much disappointment among Cana
dian contractors over the award by the Domin-
ion government of the Gallop Rapids contract,
amounting to SsOs, 200, and the Sault Ste Marie
canal contract, 81 $50 600. to a syndicate COM
posed largely of United States contractors.
Canadians are prohibited from bidding for any
government work in the United States, and it is
said on good authority that bill will be intro
duced in the next Dominion parliament to re-
taliate by excluding American contractors from
the construction Of all government works in
Canada hereafter.

Successor of Berry Wall-TOmasso Luis
Onativia His Name.
From the New York Morning journal.

From the New York Morning Journal
Evander Berry Wall, the king of the dudes,
is no longer king. Tomasso Luis Onativia is
the new king, and he is well suited for the posi-
tion considering that he is a nephew Of the
emperor Of Brazil Mr.. Onativias collection
OF vari-colored waistcoats and striped trowsers
is the envy of the jeunesse dore Of Gotham.
while his stable of imported thoroughbreds
and crack hunters is the talk of the town, This
modern Beau Brummel has only turned TWENTY
one, and yet he is as blase in appearance as a
man OF forty-hve. Whenever this jeune gallant
drops his single-barreled glass he doesn't
bother to pick it up, but Immediately replaces
it by another. 1t is, no doubt, owing to this
fad that he is reported to constantly have a
dozen or more glasses about his person in case
OF emergency, although it is said that they
have no magnifying qualities. being cut by the
gross from plain window panes. Young Ona-
TWAS top hats are as bright as a new trade
dollar, while his patent leather boots reflect
the brilliancy of his sunny smile. His mackin-
tOsh, with wide flowing sleeves, is indeed a
thing OF beauty, and his white melton top coat
Is simply superb. 1t is said that the dashinp
Brazilian has over fifty pairs of trowsers and
fully as many waistcoats, and his valet is re-
sponsible for the statement that he has five
trunks OF new clothes on the way over from
London.
Onativia is accredited with spending some
H..
which it is only natural that he should like to
change his trousers twelve times day. in Or
der to prevent them from getting out Of STYLE.
His equipages are as celebrated as his clothes.
and this is not to be wondered at when it is
known that he has coach and four a brough-
am, T-cart and tibury. He is also famous
rider, and is the proud owner of some of the
finest thoroughbred hunters in the country.
He is well dressed at all times. but it is in the
evening that he looks his best. Then he Bios
SONS forth in full evening dress, with immacu-
late shirt-front and stud of priceless value.
his shapely hands are encased in white kid
gloves with black stitches, and a boutonniere of
lilies-of-the-valley nestles in the lapel of his
coat. His trousers are invariably creased
down the middle with care, and an opera hat
crowns his classic head. With a glass stuck
firmly in his off-hand eye, and "I'm-a-mon-
rch-of-all-I-survey" expression in his right
optic. he presents a tout ensemble that the
original Beau Brummel could not approach in
his palmiest day.
Mr.. Onativia first introduced the STYLE of
wearing striped sash about the waist last
summer, and it is no doubt due to his example
that the male portion of the noble four hun
dred followed suit. He has two very pretty
sisters. and the Misses Onativia are Justly
celebrated for their great beauty and retiring
manner Miss Pauline Onativia is stately
brunette, while her sister, Georgina, who is to
wed Mr.. Townsend at an early date. is a typi-
cal southern beauty, with lustrous eyes and a
wealth of jet black hair.

THE ARMY.
Gen. schofield's First Annual Report.

The first annual report of Major-Gen. Scho-
neid to the Secretary Of War contains recon-
mendstion that two artillery regiments be
added to the division Of the Pacific without
materially increasing the number of officers,
but necessitating the addition Of about 5000
enlisted men TO the present number> It is
recommended that number Of young officers
Of the infantry and cavalry school who
have failed to meet the requirements
be debarred from promotion. General
schodeld suggests that officers detailed
at colleges be authorized to give practical in
struction in sea-coast defense to such portion
Of the National Guard as may be organized for
that branch of the public service. The report
states that the time and circumstances now
seem peculiarly favorable TO placing the sea-
coast and frontiers Of the country i'm a state of
security becoming the dignity of a great and
proud, though just and peaceful nation. 1t is
recommended that the reward for the arrest
to be taken out Of his retained
paw; that at least half of the paw OF
soldiers hereafter enlisted be retained. making
an exception in the cases Of men known to de-
vote their pay TO the support of dependent rel
atiyes, and that it be made practicable in time
OF peace for an enlisted man to dissolve his
contract OF enlistment by obtaining discharge
with forfeiture OF so much of his retained pay
as may be necessary to reimburse the United
states for expenses. Gen. Schofield also
recommended liberal appropriations for the
signal service proper.
Mr.. Fry was an Ardent Suitor.
he DIDN'T MAKE LOVE TO MRS. ArBBARp on HIS

GENERAL.
After the selection of jury in Mrs. Hib-
bard's s1O0, 900 breach-of-promise suit against
millionaire Henry R. Fry, at Beaver, Pa yes
terday, Mrs. Hubbard took the stand and began
her story. She said she had known Mr.. Fry FOR
seventeen years and attended the same church.
He began paying attention to her at picnic at
Rock Point three years after the death of his
wife. He sat beside her and they read the
same paper on the train. He asked about her
habits and when he could call and see her. She
told him to call that night, and when he came
into the parlor said she the first lady he had
called on since his wife's death. and he felt
queer. He also said he felt lonely and was
doing three mems work to keep his mind
occupied. He asked her why she did not
marry, and she replied that she did not think
much of love affairs. He then drew his chair
closer and seemed eager. He did not make
love to her that night, but talked generally of
love affairs. When he left he said she was the
loveliest woman he had ever known, and
invited himself to call the following Tuesday
night

A Clear Case.

From the Chicago Tribune
"And now, children" remarked the Sunday
school superintendent, "what happened to
those wicked people who reviled Noah and re-
fused to heed his warning? Where did they
find themselves when the flood came?''
In de soup" exclaimed a class of pewsb oys
on the back seat, with one voice.
