VOICE THAT sTARTLED AN EXPRESS MESSENGER
WHO WAS RESTING ON COFFIN.
From the Kansas City Journal.
He was an express messenger on the Santa Fe
few days ago. 1t was q night run, and there
were two messengers in the car. Just az 1t began
TO grow dusk the train stopped at q small station
and dead body was taken aboard. Nothing in
particular was thought Of this, however, and, az
there was nothing to do, and the train would not
stop again for a long distance, both messe myers
prepared 10 go TO sleep. One OF them decided that
to rest on, and so be arranged himself comfortably
thereon and went TO sleep,
How long he slept he mas no idea, but suddenly
q: 4 IN IN &C dream rs; he heard voice say:
The messenger, startled, Lay half awake for q
moment, when IN no uncertain tones came Che
words, apparently from within the head OF the
box on which he slept
"D-n you, let me out"
It IL quite q distance from where the box lay To
the other end OF the car but the messenger Is DOS
tive he cleared It In two JumpA Trembling with
fear, he shouted TO his companion, but before he
had chance TO tell his story that self-same voice
exclaimed:

Neither OF the men spoke for moment, and then
the one who had nrst heard the voice said: "Jim
that corpse wants to get out"

he wants to get out"
SO the two cautiously made their way to thu
head Of the box and debated what 70 do, when thu

A story About Bismarck

From the Pall MAIL dexette, July ~.
Every now and then little episode from the life
of Prince Bismarck il brought before the public
which makes the halo Of greatness surrounding
him shine with a light softer than usual Here,
for instance is what is said to be well authenti.
Gated little story which happened the other day
when the chancellor was being announced to his
young sovereign, with whom he was about TO
have a serious consultation. While waiting in
the ante-room, Prince Bismarck heard some
children's voices proceeding from the next
room, and, as the door was open, he looked into
the imperial nursery, where the little crown
prince was energetically grinding away at o
small barrel organ, the two younger princes
meanwhile doing their best to dance TO his
tune. AS soon as the younger brothers saw the
prince the eldest OF the dancers ran up TO him,
saying, "Please, please, Prince Bismarck, come
and dance with us" But the prince shook his
head and said, smilingly, No,I am too old; really
cannot dance; but II the crown prince win dance
/ Will grino he organ for you all" With shouts
OF pleasure the crown prince Joined his bruthers
and Bismarck was grinding away In the sweat OF
his brow, when the door opened and the emperor
came In, remaining on the threshold to look with
surprise and emotion at the strange scene. SWELL
must confess, " he said after WHILE turning 70
the chancellor, sIt II kind Of you 70 take such
notice Of the children. But, my dear prince, y

However many foreign lands one may visit, even

almost to genuine dread takes possession OF me
whenever approach any shore or imaginary line

your feeling and mine In the matter wholly. But
do know, for have talked with many about Il.
that foreigners arriving on our shores however sad

citation and joyous expectancy. Therefore I
fancy that this peculiar sense OF depres-
sion has its origin in a common Unborn. in
bred and welI-nigh involuntary protest from the
American heart against the concrete conditions
inimical to human progress which the recognition
OF all such emblems inevitably suggests The
republican democratic spirit ever resents barriers

APPROACHING EASTPoRT.
These and other similar reflections possessed me
as our crowded steamer, passing the lofty, purple
shores OF Grand Manan Island to the south, swept
alongside old Quoddy Headlight, which, with its
gaudy stripes is set Ike stiffened section OF Bal
moral hose on the eastermost point or land on our
United States coast. Rounding Campobello Is
Land, which, with Grand Manan, is Canadian
possession and so situated, thanks TO the imbe-
clIty OF our diplomats, that no vessel OF ordinary
draft can reach our own eastermost seaport city
at low tide without passing through Cana
dian waters, the noble Passamaquoddy Bay
Is entered, and the picturesque little city
OF Eastport is seen facing the sea in pleasant ter
races from It's central rearward heights like a
bright and gigantic reversed she'll its outer rim
washed by the blue waters OF the bay. To the
lett and south as we enter port Is seen the pretty
village OF Lubec, the home OF scores OF active and
retired sea-captains, who sit on vine-covered
porches and level great glasses at the seas horizon,
and all strangers passing their snug harDor homes,
and occasionally Iorgivably roar out at the little
tavern roysterings
