Newspapers as Life Preservers.
From the IYashtnntor Star.

Sen. Bussey, the Assistant Secretary of
the Interior. has a novel use for news
papers. The other day when the weather
was sharp he was preparing to go out of the
department building for lunch. A reporter,
wne happened to be in the room at time,
was surprised to see him unbutton the lower
buttons on his vest, fold up a newspaper
and, placing it over his abdomen, button
the vest over it.

The interior of the grand cathedral in the
City of Mexico is, even at the present day,
after having been successfully plundered,

six affairs and fourteen chapels, which con-
tain the bones of some of the vic eroys and

SO rich that an offer to replace it with one
of equal weight in solid silver was refused.
This weighs twenty-six tons, and came
from China in the old days of Spanish
dominion, when the richly-freighted
galleons of Spain sent their cargoes over
land from Acapulco to Vera Cruz on the
way to the mother country.
The high altar was formerly the richest
in the world, and yet retains much of its
original glory. It contained candlesticks
of gold so heavy that a single one was more
than a man could lift, chalices. cruets and

studded with emeralds, amethysts rubies

CAPTURED a DEER ALIVE.
Adventure of a Hors O.
back Rider Across Country.
From the Baltimore San.


From the Baltimore San.
George F. French has returned from
a three-weeks' hunting trip in Pulaski
County, Virginia. While in Pulaski,
Mr.. French was the guest of Mr.
James Macgin, formerly of Hagers-
town, son of the late
well-known DIR. Macgin of Richmond, Va.
Mr.. MacgiIl is an all-around sportsman,
not only with rod and gun, but in the field
with horse and hounds. Many are the
stories told of his exploits. One of the
most striking and characteristic adventures
told of Mr.. Macgill, which shows his sport
ing instincts in the strongest light, was his
capture of wild deer while on a journey
across the country on horseback. He was
riding quietly along on a thoroughbred,
when deer suddenly broke cover at his
side and dashed away almost in a straight
line in front of him. Literally on the spur
of the moment MIR. Macgill put his horse
out after the deer, but with no thought of
being able to capture the fleeing animal
He acted on impulse and gave way to a
desire for the chase. The horse entered
into the spirit of his master and made
rapid time up and down hill and over val
ley. The sport continued for some hours,
the sportsman being by far the least
fatigued of any engaged in the contest. The
Rdlldub uOTs6 HGlu lib OWN wei III bIle bTlHl,
and Mr.. Macgill was elated to fiud that the
deer could not distance him. Finally in
great stretch down long valley, Mr.
Macgill urged his horse to the utmost and
gained on the deer. AS they got into the
rising ground again the sportsman found
himself carried alongside the painting deer.
There was no time for reflection: the rider
| was unarmed. had not even a switch. he
dropped the reins, reached over, grabbed the
deer by the neck aud head and pulled the
| ANIMAL wild with terror and trembling
| from the long chase, up on the horses neck
| A less experienced horseman than Mr..
| Macgill would not have recovered the
reins, quoted the noble steed and got safely
home with his struggling prize. But
Mr.. Macgill did all of this, and his appear
| ance as he rode up to his house soon drew
| forth from him the strange story of his
successful, though not premeditated deer
hunt. Mr. Macgill has hosts of friends,
| who admire him for many good qualities
besides those which endear him to all who
love the many sports of the field.

CREMATED WITH LIME.
Remarkable Provision of a Wealthy
Mans Will


From, the Philadelphia Inquirer.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. ALI day Friday
the sexton of Eimwood cemetery stood
beside an open grave, pouring water upon
coffin in which was the body of Henry
Smith packed in unslaked lime, and in this
manner was the body cremated according
to the directions of the dead mans will
Smith was 70 years old, and came here two
years ago from Hagerstown, Nd, where he
had the previous year buried his wife and
daughter. lie was highly educated and led
an obscure life here, and no one knew his
residence. Early last summer he went to
All Saints hospital and had a cancer re-
moved from his face Three weeks ago he
returned, and had another cancer removed
from his neck but this operation resulted
in lockiaw, which caused his death. His
Will, besides the provision relating TO the
cremation OF his body, directed that if he
died during the day be should be buried an
hour tefore sunset but if he died at night
he should be buried an hour after sunrise
He further provided that his funeral
must be without ceremony of any kind
The entire funeral expenses must not exceed
s3o: plain coffin would be enough. There
were to be no flowers, no religious exer-
cise5, and his body was to be taken to the
grave in a one-horse spring wagon. These
provisions were carefully carried out. He
also desired that his name, age and place of
burial be inscribed upon the monument
marking the resting place of his family, al
though he expressly stipulated that he did
not care to be ruried With them.
Smith owned property in this city valued
at about $4,000, and his bequests showed
his generosity. 10 his nurse at the hospital
he gave $500. The same sum is to be in
vested so that the family plot at Hagers-
town may be taken care of. An old colored
servant at Baltimore receives $3.50 and the
LSsara0t of ~ 900 goes TO lady of Baltimore
