1RAMPLED TO DEATH.
Both We're Insane, and He Thought
She Was an Evil Spirit.

Thomas Japan, his wife and boy, lived in
little house on the Ousley ranch, near Los
Gatos, Santa Clara County, Cal. The pa
rents were insane, and their eleven-year-old
boy is an IDIOT Japan conceived the idea
that his wife had gore and that an evil spirit
was present in her stead, and after praying
for hours to drive the spirit away and COM
polling The boy to join him in his supplica-
lions, he jumped upon his wife and IN his IN
BILE mass of lifeless flesh and bones. The first
news of the deed was carried to San Jose BY
the boy himself, and an officer quickly pro-
c-edei to the ranch, where the body was
found horribly mutilated in the bed.
Japan and his family leased the Ousley
place about nine months ago and were be-
hind in the payment of their rents and owed
several bills for groceries and provisions.
On Wednesday Japan told his wife that he
intended to sell his COWS to pay what they
owed. She objected, and the idea OF anSevil
spirit and the tragedy followed.

New YORK, March 10, 1886.

New YORK, March 10, 1886.
It gives me great pleasure to add my tesu.
mony in favor of ALLcocK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS. Last October had very severe attack
of lumbago and suffered untold agony; could
not turn in bed or get in any position without
assistance, and with pains almost unbear-
able; the folks suggested ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs. AS soon as possible l had one ap.
piled to the small of my back, and to my great
surprise Experienced almost instant relief; |
continued wearing it until entirely cured, and
am hap9y to say that I have not had the
slightest symptoms of Lumbago since. They
are a wonderful and valuable Plaster for
Lumbago, and take much pleasure in recon-
mending them. w. S. PHILLIPS.

In thenCity of the Dead.

In the city of the dead,
Sacred city Of the dead,
With a hallowed awe and reverence we along
its pathways tread.
And look at the slabs and tombstones to our
right and to our left,
Showing where lie mortal bodies, now of
earthly life bereft,-
In Gods acre, in the sacred,
Solemn city Of the dead.
In the city of the dead,
Peaceful city of the dead,
Wave the willows, sorrows emblem, with
hallowed piece DER head.
For all strifes and all contentious seem for
ever banished here,
Where now lie in peaceful slumber the de-
parted we revere
In Gods Acre, in the peaceful,
Tranquil city of the dead.
In the city of the dead,
Cherished city of the dead.
Out upon the graves Of loved ones, Loves
pure offerings are spread,
Tender flowers, and other tokens OF affection
and esteem,
Here by loving hands are planted and by
loving hands kept green
In Gods Acre. in the cherished,
Hallowed city of the dead.
In the city of the dead,
Silent city of the dead,
Hundreds, thousands, now are sleeping in the
earth's cold. dismal bed.
Side by side in silence slumbring, they await
the solemn day,
When from out their graves they all shall by
the Lord be called away
From Gods Acre, from the silent,
Sacred city of the dead.

went to the postoffice last Sunday af-
ternoon at the usual time to get the
copies of the Galveston News that Mr..
Eisenlohr sells. AS has been the GUS
tom, he tapped on the front delivery
window and it was opened by man
named Bosshert. He asked for the
bundle of News, and was in turn ask
ed by the man: 'Is there any cigars
in it?" The boy said, mo, 1 have no
cigars to give" Down went the win
dow and Mr.. Eisenlohr had to, wait
until Monday morning to get his pa
pers. On complaining to the post
master of the occurrence the young
clerk was given no satisfaction, being
simply told by the postmaster that he

ploy named Bosshert.

CHRISTIANITY IN JAPAN.
Its Introduction Proposed as a Mat
ter of Policy.

Its Introduction Proposed as Mat
ter of Policy.
London Times.l
The Japan Weekly Mail in recent
issue summarizes a discussion now
being carried ON in Japan by several
eminent publicists respecting the adj
visibility of the people of that coun-
try embracing the Christian religion.
"a movement supported by some
prominent men is on foot to give an
impetus to the spread of Christianity
by laying stress on the secondary ben
efits its acceptance insu-es.n Those
connected with the movement say
that Christian dogmas are a bitter pill
20 swallow, but advise that it be
swallowed promptly for the sake of
the after effects. Mr.. Fukuzawa, a
well known writer, urges this course,
although he says he takes no per-
sonal. interest whatever in religion,
and knows nothing of the teachings
of Christianity; but he sees that it is
the creed of the most highly civilized
nations. To him religion is only gar
ment, to be put on or taken off at
pleasure, but he thinks it prudent
that Japan should wear the same
dress as her neighbors, with whom
she desires to stand well. Professor
Toyama of the imperial university has
published a work to support this
view. He holds that Chinese ethics
must be replaced by Christian
ethics, and that the benefits to be d
rived from the introduction of Chris
5ianity are N the improvement of
music; (2) union of sentiment and feel
ing, leading to harmonious cooper =
ton; and 81 the furnishing medium
ofintercourse between men and wO-
men. Mr.. Kato, the late president of
the imperial university, who says
that religion is not needed for the ed.
ucated, and confesses his dislike to
all religions equally, urges the intro
duction of religious teaching into the
government schools, and on the
ground that the unlearned in Japan
have had their faith in old moral
standards shaken, and that there is
serious lack of moral sentiment
among the masses. Among the re-
plies to this is one by NJ. Sugiura,
who is described as "a dilligent stud
ent of Western philosophy for many
year." He speaks of the specially
marked lack of religious feeling and
sentiment in his countrymen. The
Japanese, he says, have no taste for
religion whatever, and it is impossible
that they should ever become a reli-
gious people. The youth of Japan,
he argues, being free to act accord,
ing to reason, are so far in advance
of the Europeans, and, instead OF
talking about adopting foreign re,
ligion Japanese should go abroad and
preach their religion of reason to for.
eign countries. Other writer's urge
the same views. The writer in the
Yokohoma newspaper says that those
who urge the teaching of Christianity
represent an influential section of edu-
Gated Japanese opinion; they are signs
of the times. ITO Japan, in an EN-
phatically agnostic mood, come west
ern science, with all its marvellous
revelations and attractions. At the
shrine of that science sheis Worship
