THERE is a horrible story from Syracuse
OF how an aged German lost his only
daughter and companion, a beautiful girl
OF seventeen, and, suspecting that she had
been buried before life was extinct.
opened the grave and found that his daugh-
ter had turned in her coffin and struggled
To get out.
The occasional discovery of eases of this
KIND has encouraged IA wholesome dread of
danger of living burial and 1t is strange that
IN the present instance the fact that the
body was warm did not arouse more than
a curious remark from those preparing il
Tor burial, -avering so horrible fate
cremation has an advantage, but that there
are very few cases of the kind is shown by
the history of a Vienna cemetery, where
electric wires are left attached to bodies SO
that the least move would sound an alarm
IN the gate office. Though in operation for
hNe or six years, this cemetery has not
furnished single instance of premature
burial.

Arbor Day,

Our law makers in their wisdom have
nxed day in springtime for the plant
ing OF trees, for many things are more
sure OF being done If times are established
for them, and the institution of Arbor
Day takes away the excuse of forretf,,l-
ness from any who admit the public
duty of tree planting. II the day
happens 10 be rainy or other matters
interfere the tree planting is not long
postponed because Arbor Days come
around rapidly, two year, and rather
than confess forgetfulness or delay some
men take particular pains to plant their
trees ON some other day.

GENERAL CLINTON Il. FISK tries TO back
down gracefully from the Prohibition party
leadership of New Jersey by declaring
That the Democrats Of the Legislature have
gone So far in favor of intcmperance that
every Prohibitionist must join the Repub-
lcans. This is Il beautiful illustration OF
the iop-sided state of mind characteristic
OF the Prohibition apostle. He does not
appear to see the ,ahsurdity of declaring
that people favor intemporance because he
has hImseifbee leaning to the other absurd
extreme of prohibition.

PENoBscor RUM TRAFFIC.
What . Nswspapsr Correspondent
Writes Concerning It.

DEXTER, Oct. 6.
A correspondent to the Lewiston Journal
writes as follows: A chat with our county
commissioners discloses what may seem as
tonishing to some unacquainted with the
amount and effect of the rum traffic in this
county IL seems that the cost to the county
from this one cause alone, composed of costs
of courts and board of prisoners committed
for drunkenness, ETC., amounts to the snug
little sum of S2s 900 per year. Or 500 per
quarter, and of this the city Of Bangor fur
nishes tve-sevenths. Bsngor's total popula-
ton in 1880 was only l6 s57. and the polls at
that time were 375s so that it actually costs the
county si ~ in taxes to pay for every per-
son in Bangor each year. and 81 rs for each
poll therein, for what may justly be called
rum tax. The population of the city having
Increased some since 1880, the ratio would
diminish correspondingly, but the fact that
the one large city in the county Containing less
than one-f0urth Of the population, should
cause five sevenths Of the real rum tax is
whole temperance lesson of itself. Ten
thousand dollars in cold cash could be col
lected and paid into the county treasury by
fires from this city alone, each criminal
term of the court, by enforcing the pro-
hibtory laws and this SUM- $50 900 in ALL
would just about pay her yearly expense to
the taxpayers Of this county.

STILL SWEAR BY IT.
Mormomism Has Not Changed Its
Spots Nor Does 1t Intend to.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 3.
The sixtieth general semi-annual confer
ence of the Mormon church, began yester-
day. President Woodruff in the opening
address, said the Mormon church had been
established by God, and no power on earth
could stay its progress. All revelations
given to the Saints, including polygamy
came direct from God. ami notwithstanding
trials and troubles through which Mormons
had passed the Lord would sustain all those
who obeyed his principles and his revela-
tiODs.
Apostle Taylor said ~ bear my testi-
mony that President Woodruff and his coun-
cilors are prophets, seers and revelators.
The hand of God is over this church and no
power can destroy it or impede its progress.
Several other elders and apostles spoke in
q similar vein.
The church authorities are embracing
every opportunity to keep the people in line,
politically, for they fear that with the loss
of political power ecclesiastical supremacy
would be greatly weakened.
