BURIED ON A BAR.
The Body of Supposed Suicide
Discovered.


The body of an unknown man was
found yesterday morning on sandbar
in the bend of the river near Dayton's
bluff. He was buried face downward,
the back of his head protruding through
the shoai water. The action of the
waves and weather had worn away the
hair and flesh to the skull, but the rest
OF the body was not badly decomposed.
The deceased was a middIe-aged man,
evidently laborer, as he was dressed
in pair of trousers, snspenders and a
blue flannel shirt of coarse material.
1t is supposed that the body is that of
the suicide who removed his coat, hat
and shoes and leaped into the river
from the railway drawbridge several
weeks ago. Coroner Quinn thought the
body had been in the water month.
He decided not to hold an inquest, and
the remains were buried.

He Was visibIy Affected.
minneapolis Tribune.I


The Tribune Office has been for some
time afflicted by the fitful and irregular
but frequent visitatiOns of young man
who processes great friendship for the
management, and an overwhelming desire
to furnish items of interest for the benefit
of The Tribune readers The items which
he contributed ran after this fashion:
The young and charming Miss Myrtle
Blossom has gone to St Paul to spend the
week with her sister. Had it not been
for previous engagement, Miss Blossom
would have no doubt won golden laurels
as the impersOnatOr of the three graces.
A day or so later the presence made
itself felt through the announcement that
The coOkstove in the house formerly oc-
cupied in St Paul by the sister of Miss
Blossom has exploded scattering the
cooking utensils about in q very disagree
able manner. Had Miss Blossom made
her visit a little earlier it is painful to con-
template what might have been her sad
fate
Last evening the young man dropped in
again. From the expression on his coun-
tenance, it was felt by all that this was at
last a time for immediate and decisive
action.
Il came in to say, he began, in voice
trembling with the emotion he strove in
vain to conceal that | saw the recent
fire at the Academy of Music. [ saw the
desperately narrow escape of Mr.. Billy
O'Neill, and-and--I will not try to tell
you what my feelings were. but l wish
you would just say that, Had not Miss
blossom started yesterday for the New
Orleans exposition, where she will spend
the winter, she might have accidentally
witnessed the frightfuI peril of Mr..
O'Neill and it is fearful to contemplate
the shock it would have given to her deli
cate and highly organized constitution.
It was impossible not to sympathize
with the sad mental condition of this
young man. The thought seemed to
dawn simultaneously upon every intellect
present that prolonged session in some
quiet and retired hospital was what was
needed to restore this disturbed equilib-

Gaines Long-stem Pipe.

Here's good piece of advice, said
Capt Quibley, putting aside a news
paper and turning to his wife. "A para
graph here says that a man should never
smoke a pipe while going down stairs.
In case he should fall, be would be likely
to drive the stem through the roof of his
mouth and out at the top of his head. "
Il never heard of such a thing, replied
Mrs. Quibley.
"It's not by any means improbable re-
Joined the captain. There's our old friend
George Gaines. He is a great smoker,
you know. F."
Yes, with interest
We'll, the other day. forgot to men
ton it, by the wayne was coming down
stairs and his foot slipped and down he
went He always smoked a lOng-stem
pipe, you know"
"Great goodness captain!"
Eyes, he had a passion for long-stem
pipes. One day when we were out hunt
ing he found cane root about five feet
long. He took it home with him and had
it bored out. Beat any"
But when he fell did he drive it
through his head?"
90 no. You see he had to stop smok-
ing on account of his health, but 1 was
going to say for example"
"Quibley, you are the biggest fool I
ever saw. Go on, now, and split up some
wood. You ought he ashamed of your
self to disappoint any one that way"

"Ihe Pepper Pot"

A London letter describes a novel dish
introduced by a cOckney restauranter
called Pepper pot The mess is made
of meat and spices preserved till three
years old by the introduction of a West
India vegetable liquid called cassareep
Cassareep is the juice pressed out of the
cassava, and in its raw state is deadly
poison. 1t is the basis of the stuff the
Carib Indians use to poison their a; rows
with. But when boiled it is perfectly
harmless. and possesses the curious prop
erty of preserving meat for any length
of time In the West Indies the pepper
pot is always on the go; it is never en-
tirely emptied, and the contents are added
to day by day, Any pieces of cold meat
pork is best-and fish 60 into the pot.
OF course there are spices and sauces put
in to give the stew a flavor, beside the
cassareep, which, in addition to its pre-
sentative and antiseptic qualities, has a
distinct, if slight, flavor of it's own. A
bottle of this peculiar strip produced for
inspection, was of deep mahogany color,
and of the consistency of molasses, much
resembling, in fact, Indian soy.
