The above from the Banner is nd

Do they practice it? They have ex-

While digging a grave at the
Island cemetery, in Ouachita parish
last week, an iron casket was u n.
earthed which had probably been
there for rs or 100 years. Upon ex-
aiming the coffin, it was found to be
peculiarly constructed so as to par.
take of the form of the human body
showing the symmetry of bust,
limbs and head. A curious desire.
prompted those present to uuserew
plate on top of the coffin; when
done they were wonderfully surprised
to find revaled to their view, hand
some young man, in a perfect state
OF preservatiOn-indeed looking as
natural as if:hs were still living. He
was clothed in a winding sheet, made
Of white silk; his cravat was also
white and made of satin; his hair
was light and still remained neatly
parted. DR.. Helmick, from whom
we get this information, says that:the
ground where this body was found
was level and compact down to the
coffin; anu that the oldest citizen in
that locality has no remembrance or
knowIege of tho grave. 1t is thought
ny some who saw the bodybuilding
from appearance that he was a Span
ish nobleman and WAS buried there
early in the settlement Of Louisiana.

We have al Illustration Of reform

to the old practice. The fees have
