A Maine Mans Cnreer.

|
BY the death of Richard w. Jackson.
sailor boy, King of Gamble tribe and
Arctic explorer, the most romantic career
ever lived by Maine man has Just come
to singularly unhappy end
jackson was born in Bath, and durinp
his carly boyhood was noted for his dar
ing III athletic sports and tic many
narrow escapes he had. Several times
IN his boyhood and in his maturer years
he saved people from drowning. Once
when IN his teens he fell from a haymow
and was taken up for dead. Another
time he was struck by lightning and re-
manned paralyzed for twenty four hours.
In 1883 he shipped on the Rainier
with Captain Morrison, and was wrecked
on the coral reef near Ujae, in the South
Pacific. In the little schooner of $50
tons, built on the cannibal isle from the
timbers of the wrecked ship, the Can
tain, accompanied by Jackson as first
officer, left to obtain suitable provisions
with which to return to the island where
the Captains sick daughter and her
husband were left to await them. On
the second day out the Captain was
stricken with paralysis and Jackson was
given command of and navgated the
vessel to Jaluit, one OF the islands of tho
hlarshall group, where provisions were
obtained from white cuithroats, who
held the hooner for security.
After many perilous adventures Jack.
son arrived alone at Ujae with relief for
those left behind, only to find letter
from Captain Morrison announcing the
arrival of United States warship and
tue rescue of himself and party. This
letter Jackson read to the King of Uiac
rs stating that the King must treat Jack
son well or the war ship would return
and "bom BON" (bombard) the island.
Jackson's wit saved his life, for the King,
VINO was anxious to go to an ad AGENT
island for some savage festival, made
the Bath boy temporarily King of the
island
For thirty days Jackson, King of Uiae
held his lonely court on the island
beach, guarding his provisions and hon.
ing aid would come. A crew of white
wreckcrs arrived and to them jackson
sold TO. about $500 the rest of the cargo
and wreck. and with them returned to
Jaluit, whence he worked his way to
Frisco, where he delivered his hard
earned $500 to the owners agent and
was rewarded with S75 for his endeavors.
After being washed overheard in
rounding Cape Horn he for two wears
sailed to the northern seas and was noted
for his feats of daring. Then he became
steamboat man, rose to be third officer
of the City of Pekin, one of the largest
steamers atloat, and was steadily mount
ing up when he was knocked down by
runaway horse while ashore on vaca-
ton, and killed. He was only thirty
years old.-Me,o York IVorLi.

Old Cure for Pneumonia.

An article in the Atedical Record deals
mainly with the results of the recent OK.
periments in pneumonia of the Italian
physician Maragliano, who proposes to
revive the Old plan OF blood letting when
the heart is on the point of breaking
down.
1t is certain, as the Medical Record
says, the management of the affection
OF the present day is far from sa.isfac-
tory" Pneumonia appears to be an in
fectious disease, depending upon the
presence of nicro-organisms. The first
practicable measure for combating it is
to promote the elimination of the poison

age gravity, abstracting from five to ten
ounces on the fourth or fifth day of the
disease, the venesection being repeated
once. He found that there was an i'm.
provement in the circulation, the pulse
diminishing in frequency and becoming
fuller, and the twelve cases all recov.
cred. This is strong evidence of the
value of bleeding.
The Italian physicians plea for the re-
vival of blood letting is that its iudici.

A Blind Mans H.lpruiness.

Alfred NJ. Horton, of Middletown, y.
y, blind man, aged sixty years, is
deserving OF notice. He lost his eve
sight at the age Of fourteen BY prema-
turc explosion of gunpowdcr blast. He
became a successful farmer, but subse-
Quently moved into the city, and took
up the business of watering tho streets.
Some years ago he engaged in the flour
and feed business, and did large bust
ness. He makes his way to the postoilice
or any other place where business calls
him with pretty brisk step and with no
other assistance than a cane, which he
employs from time to time in feeling his
way Mt street crossings and the like. His
memory of voices, of the different sounds
of footsteps, and of routes that he has
once travelled is unerring. He has gone
to New York city alone. and made his
way unassisted across the ferry to his
brothers office in Sixth avenue and to
other points where business called him.
He is fond of horses and buys and sells
with good JUDGMENT, after carefully
feeling the animal over with his hands.
He can take care of his horses and hitch
up team almost as readily as any man
in his employ.
Starting out in life comparatively poor,
and handicapped by great infirmity, he
has nevertheless accumulated by honor
able means comfortable fortune. -Ne,o

The notifying news has been sent to
the New York San from Springfield, Ill.,,
that the "Lincoln monument was SO badly
built that it is already in a ru'nous con

swindling builder is peculiarly
wretched type of swindlcr in any branch
OF his frauds, but when he practices hi.
art on such q national monument rs thai

into sacrilege. What commentary il
is on the vile depths of human nature
that Lincoln's bones must be buried in

OF true friends lest they be stolen by
grave-robbers, and that when they are
finally deposited under national monu.
ment their rest is still threatened by an
avarice that cheats even when building

There was. some years ago, an ,ngen-
ious individual OF Liskeard, Cornwall,
'who exhibited himself in a dress com.
posed from top to toe of rat skins, which
he had been collecting for three years

by himself; it consisted of hat, necker-
chief, coat. waistcoat. trousers, tippet,
CATERS and shoes. Tho NUMBER of rats
required to complete the suit was go.

The Ceremony OF Incarceration.


AS the public mind becomes more
familisrized with tho idea of incineration
tue practice gains in popularity, and the
New York Cremation Society is now
cremating from TIN to twelve bodies
every month.
The crematory It Fresh Pond, Long
Island, is in its present state far from an
Imposing looking structure, but had the
original plans been perfected it would
present different appearance. Imagine
bare, but substanti looking building,
OF white-washsd bricks, with two lofty
smokcstacks, and you have n good idea
OF tho building Neither within nor
without IL there the slightest attempt at
decoration. All seems cold, austere and
forbidding.
The body of Henry Valley was in.
cinorated on recent afternoon. The
mourners were seated in a row upon
wooden chairs ranged in front of the
furnace. The coffin was carried into the
rear room, opened, and the body Gu
vcloped in II sheet soaked in solution
OF alum, and then placed upon n cradle
OF IRON, which was in turn laid upon IL
cutafalque of the same metal. This was
wheeled into the next chamber, the
heavy iron portal swung open, the cata.
fa!que was placed in the furnace and
the doors reciosed. Two small, round
apertures glowed through the i'm
penetrable iron like two lurid eyes of
flame. While combustion is taking
place and the gases ere escaping through
the perforat:ons iu the retort these
oriices become dull and dark, and 1t is
not until calcination has taken place that
they again assume their pristine brilli-
ancy. 1t takes four hours to accomplish
this ut heat of 3000 degrees, aud, to
make sure, the remains are let until
morning. When the door is agaiu
opened the body lying in the sheet ap.
pears to be intact, but contact with the
air causes it to crumble into dust. The
ashes which have fallen into the retort
beneath are gathered up AID placed in o
covered tin can and sent to the relatives.
They appear like extremely fine grayish
powder, and are perfectly odorless.
Strangers are shown all that remains of
MIR. Cohen, one of the editors of tho
S.Gats Zei;n7g, who left his ashes to the
cremation society.
1.-The putting away of the mortal re.
mains of n relative is necessarily har-
rowing spectacle" said the attendant,
"but after all the sight of body under.
going the process of cincration is not
more heartrending than consigning it to
the grave. 1t is merely less conventional
and more unfamiliar. This mode might
be robbed of half its horrors, and the
ceremony invested with IL halo of poetic
sentiment were the surroundings of o
moro aesthetic nature. Even thin
drapery thrown over the bier would con.
ceal thu still outlines OF the dead form
and render it a less repulsivc spec

Far more feasible though not more
important than the projected canals
