Elijah's chariot has come to earth again.
There are luminous match boxes and
luminous ghosts to scare away grave
robbers. The patents to protect the dead
are especially funny. After every noted
grave robbery metallic cofins come in by
the scores, and 1 looked at one coffin sur
rounded by bars of wrought iron binding
the casket and extending out from it at such
a distance that when set in the earth it
would be impossible to move it except by a
derrick. A New York man has invented a
coffin torpedo consisting of a canister of
powder balls and trigger, and be warrants
it to kill any person who attempts to open
the grave in which it is placed. He does
not reflect that in this day of changing
graveyards some of the generations of the
future may want TO remove their forefathers,
and may. TO their great surprise. be given an
immediate introduction to them through
his torpedo.
A Massachusetts, Yankee has patented a
dynamite bomb which he places in the
tomb. This would shoot the grave robber
up to heaven, and it is equally probable
that it might send both coffin and the corpse
down to the other place. There are hun
dreds of patents for different kinds Of en-
balming juice, and the embalming juice

and mystify the keenest critics of horse
flesh and that with it the bob-tailed horse or
the rub-tailed horse becomes quite as valu-
able as he whose tail reaches to his feet.
Other patents are those for training
horses, and in many of these the hind legs
of the horse are strapped up to belts around
his body, and some are SO complicated that
they would frighten high-strung animal
to death. A Western man has patented
shield TO prevent horse from being cut by
wire fences, and this consists of a sort of
armour of padded cotton or leather which is
strapped around the neck, breast and front
legs of the horse. Another way of prevent
fences is found In the electrical division.
The wires are charged with electricity, and
when the horse goes against them he gets a.
shock which drives him back. In the same
division there is an electric plan for pre-
venting horses from curbing. The manger
is charged with electricity. and the moment
the horse attempts to curb he gets shock.
Then there is a chicken hobbler, consisting
of spring attached to q hens leg which, if
the hen attempts to scratch, will move it
onward. and will, in fact, walk it right out
of the garden. There is the bedbug buster,
by which the insects are gotten into hop
Der and killed by cnloroform, and there is
also the tumbler fytrap through which the
flies drop into bath of alkali.

New York Times.l
Two gentlemen, one connoisseur in fine
wines, went into high-priced restaurant a
few nights ago and called for bottle of
champagne of brand which, in their opin-
ion, was the best champagne in the market.
The wine was brought and served in we'll
chilled glasses. Each gentleman lifted his
glass expectantly to his lips and promptly
placed it on the table after taking sip.
''This is not the wine ordered" said the
connoisseur, turning to the waiter, who had
been lowering about. This is a bogus
champagne"
With an apologetic shrug of the shoulders
the waiter quickly picked up the cooler
and remarking that he would see about it,
walked away. Soon he returned with
fresh bottle, and, after taking pains to dis
play to the two gentlemen the labels on the
bottle, he drew the cork and filled the
glasses again.
SIT is common trick among walters"
said one, "a trick that is rapidly spreading
in popular and well-patronized restaurants,
You noticed perhaps that the first bottle
brought contained no label. This second
bottle, as you will observe, contains the
proper label and no doubt is the genuine
brand we ordered. It is much more ex-
pensive wine than the other and, being we'll
established, no premium is paid the waiter
by the American agent for forcing it upon
the patrons of the house. The other wine,
which was of decidedly inferior brand, is
probably being pushed by some enterpris-
ing dealer who gives the waiter 25 or 80
cents for each cork turned in. Had We
asked tine waiter at the outset to recommend
a brand of wine he undoubtedly would have
recommended the stuff he brought, and
then we would have been permitted to see

New York Press.1
I was with General Fisk about three years
ago for a couple of hours when the papers
were full of the Haymarket Anarchist
tragedy at Chicago, and there was bitter de-
nunciation of the murderous bomb throwers.
General Fisk said to me: "I have endeay-
ored conscientiously to study the causes

but have never been able to comprehend it.

In passing through Boston few days ago
met middle-aged temperance crank, who
claims to be q friend of our family. He
called me his dear boy and fractured few
bones in my hand. A great grip has he;
and was glad that my hand wasn't dollar
because in that case he never would have let
go.
"You haven't been in Boston lately" said
he. "and doubtless you notice and are de-
lighted with the change. refer to the new
law regulating the liquor traffic"
thanked him for supposing that I must
have learned all about it in the 10 minutes
since arrived. In fact, had read about it
in the papers, as most people hive done, but
had not thought much about it.
"a great law, that said he; "a great
step forward in the cause of temperance.
But, of course, it Is only step; we shall go
further. We are too lenient with the saloon

II Was Hauled From the Bottom of the

Philadelphia Inquirer.1
"Did you ever hear the story of the old
rum cask?" said Captain John Reece yes
terday, as he handed round fresh box of
Havanas to some aged seamen. "Away
back in the ffties, about the time that Bu-
chanan was running for President, a fishing
schooner. named the Airdlie, was out on
the banks She was owned in Gloucester
and belonged to old Tim Jordan, who COM
manded her. They had been very unlucky.
Somehow the fish wouldn't come their way,
and finally old Tim said: Say, boys, we'll

When they come to haul it in 1t was power
full heavy and expectation was high. When
it was hauled aboard it contained only a
few fish, but hanging in the blight of it was
big hogshead of rum.
"How did they know 1t was rum?"
sueried brokers' clerk.
"Hush, why sailors eau smell rum mile
off" was the answer, and the clerk looked
sheepish.
1.-THE cask was hoisted aboard and ex-
amined, and on it was the date 1876, show
ing that it was nearly 200 years old. An
attempt was made to tap it, but the oak had
got so hard that it broke every auger ON the
schooner. 1t was taken into Salem, and
after much difficulty it was tapped. All
the city dignitaries had assembled on this
auspicious occasion, and the duty of having
the first taste of this ancient liquor devolved
upon the Mayor. Slowly a clear, amber
colored fluid trickled out into the glass, and
when about two-thirds full the Mayor raised
it reverently to his lips, his courtiers stand
ing around eyeing him in an awestruck
manner.
Throwing his hesd back, and with a
graceful upward turn of the elbow the Chief
Magistrate allowed the liquid to trickle
down his throat. Suddenly he was OBJ

One of the Most
thoro of Many Stories.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH

II you could have seen her in her narrow
cell with her thin gray hair tossing about
her ashy, sunken face you would have
pitied her, although it is probable you never
knew her story.
Bess Stebbins wasn't much on looks when
she was girl up in Northern Wisconsin.
Still she was always plump and tidy in her
new calico gown and whenever she laughed,
as she did once in awhile, there was music
for the nightingale. Mark Prentiss was a
big. rawboned, goodnatured BOY, who never
did much work but who always managed to
get along in an easy and contented sort OF
way. Everybody in the settlement knew
him, because in the first place the settle
ment was small and in the next place Mark
was such an eccentric fellow that it
would have been impossible for him to
have gone into obscurity, no matter how
hard be tried. Many were the days be sat
and whitfield spigots for barrels; yet nobody
ever knew what became of the spigots or
whatever possessed Marx to whittle them.
But that was merely one of the fellows &C.
centriclties Then too, he always carried a
pin-cushion under the lapel of his coat and
only once was he known to ride in any kind
of a vehicle.
Mysterious as he was, and coarse and sun
baked as were his features, the fellow some
way or another completely won the heart of
pretty Bess Stebbins. Nobody could tell
why, and nobody cared much, Tor to tell the
truth a courtship in the settlement was to
be expected now and then. When the we'd
ding-day came Mark got up and did the
chores and then went over to Bessie's house,
where the knot was tied. Abe Pritchard,
the town supervisor and surveyor, was best
man, and well he might be, for Abe and Mark
