. Strange, weird Talo Related by "a Chi
nese Traveller.
A traveller from the wilds OF Kwan-
gsi has told us the following weird
story: A natives wife was taken very
i'll, and before she died she told her
husband with whom she had lived on
the best OF terms, bearing him one SOM:
IL have secret TO confde TO you,
which | never told before for your sake
and the child's. When | die do not
nail up my coffin, but leave IL for
time out on the mountain. Have two
live fowls ready in the house, for after
have been dead one hundred days
will return TO the realm Of living men
for n time and como back 20 our home.
Fear not, but IL | make toward the
child offer me the two fowls and say
that you yourself will send the infant,
and that ! need not be anxious; that
between tho dead and the living n gulf
Is fixed, and should rest among the de-
parted and rot come back TO trouble
the child. INill look at you fxedly
for spell, take the fowls, stranglo
them and bcgonc. never TO return. My
body will not lie down again In its
colin, but will be transformed into
living tiger. and, if hereafter you como
out TO the place and see the clothing
lying by the coffin, you will know that
my words have como true" Holding
her husbands hand she expired. The
ghost appeared at due date, did as tho
living wife had forotold and disap-
peared in the Jungle, and when tho
man visited the coffin some days after
he found the cast-oif grave clothes and
wept when he thought Of their former
happy life together and her strange
fate. While drinking his tears he saw
n tigress stalk from the Jungle and he
knew IL was his wife transformed into
new existence. Gently he stroked
its striped back, and with melan-
choly roar, il bounded away. No decd
Of blood was ever known tobo wrought
10y this gontlest Of tigresses on tho
mountain, and the child has grown up
and prospcrs. Truly n strange story.

other night. at one OF the fashionable
houses, he broke in upon "a silent bit Of
stage action which was being worked
out by young actress with the stcnto-
rian praise Of
She's going TO make an actress"
Every body near him stared, aud then
laughed. The General did not appear

Hon. GEORGE III. PENDLEToN, late
minister to Germany, died at Brussels,
November 26, from apoplexy. Senator
Pendleton was descended from a family
which had figured prominently in the
history of the nation. His grandfather
was appointed circuit judge OF Wiz.
ginia by Washington and was Alexan,
der Hamilton's second in his duel with
Aaron Burr. He was born in Cincin-
natl sixty-four years ago and adopted
the profession of the law. From the
Ohio senste he went to congress,
serving for eight years. He was on
the ticket as vice president with Gen.
George B. Mcclellan, in 1864, and in
1867 he succeeded Stanley Mathews In
tho United States senate, in the meal
time having served as vice-president OF
the Kentucky Central railroad. Prob,
ably the most imr ortant act of his
public life was the originating Of the
civil service reform bill which was
passed after a hard eight in both
branches of congress. His last term in
the senate ended in 1855 and he was
appointed by President Cleveland as
minister 10 Germany. He served IN
that capacity until relieved by William
Walter Phelps Il few months ago, hut
on account of sickness had been unable
to return to America. Senator Pend'e-
ton was a man of honest convictions
and broad views. He was 80 tender,
considerable and suave that he gained
the sobriquet OF Gentleman George,
and he was respected by all who knew
and loved by all who were close 10
him.
