A Petrfded PRIEST

While breaking new ground for farm on
the left bank Of the Arkansas, half a mile
from Bonneville, Colo, the laborers exhumed
the petriied body Of a man clothed in the
habit OF Roman Catholic priest. The dress
and the figure might have passed for the cum
ming hendiwork of some great master Of
sculpture. The two hands were clasped
about an ivory crucifix, which hung from a
rosary suspended about the neck, while the
head of an arrow, still protrudng from the
breast, told the story Of how the worthy
father met his death; and the fact, so plain
to be seen, that the body was hastily buried
without coffin and the grave unmarked by
the smallest token, showed that he and his
brethren or some faithful friend were fleeing
from the Indians when he was killed.
The petTitied body was removed to the
Church Of the Annunciation, where it was
visited by crowds from all over the county.
The face is that of a young man Of refined
and intellectual features, and the hands and
feet are of elegant proportions. Those who
profess to know declare that his shoes are of
q fashion worn in the latter part Of the Sew
enteenth century, ct which time, as is well
known devoted Spanish missionaries visited
the country for the purpose Of converting
the Indians-Cor Philadelphia Times.

A Wonan,s strength.

A striking looking young woman came
into Delmonicos yesterday. She was tall
and of magnificent proportion, with fair hair
and deep blue eyes-Brunhilde in new spring
gown.
Il saw that young woman do a most re-
nnarkabls thing few days ago in the park, "
said a man who sat with party Of friends
near the door. There are not many men
who are strong enough TO do it She was
alone and was walking along with pair of
mastifTs at her side. The dogs seemed i'll dis
posed toward each other, and from occasional
snarling broke into angry growls and then
sprang at each Others throats. Instead of
running as most women would have done,
she walked coolly over TO them and struck
them sInartly about the head and neck with
the little riding whip she carried In her hand
But it had no effect The next thing she did
was to throw the whip away, catch the collar
Of one of the huge animals with the right
hand and the other with the left, and by
sheer force Of muscle hurl them apart. She
stood there for a minute, her hand in the
collar OF each dog, holding them out at arms
length and half lifted from the ground The
half choked animals stopped their growls and
were quiet. a moment longer she held them,
then with sharp word of reproof she let go
her hold on the collars picked up her whip
and went calmly Oh with the conquered
brutes following closely behind her.
1T was the most superb exhibition Of
nerve and strength l ever saw q woman give"

FOREIGN DRY GOODS.

MANCHESTER, May S.-The Guardian in
its review of yesterdays market says: All
departments were quiet and the sales were
small Buyers and sellers satisfied their
present requirements by the business done.
Neither was inclined to go further except
as terms which were impracticable where
large orders were concerned. Prices were
generally steady and some were decidedly
firm. but the strength was less marked in
the yarn than in the cloth department.
There was a fair inquiry for India and
little China business, but most Of the
eastern business was beyond reach, owing
to theinsufticient limits. The demand for
minor foreign and home markets was mn
important. Export and bundled yarns
were exceedingly firm. The cloth market
was steady. Fine and fancy India goods
were well sold. Best printers and favorite
medium reeds were firm. Heavy goods
were firm but the sales were small.

Blood Drinking In Paris.

Blood drinking is rather an unsavory med
tcation. Every morning, however, fashion
able ladies suffering from anemia go to the
monumental slaughter house Of La Villette,
just as if it were drinking room at AK or
Vichy. They there drink buAock's blood at
thirty centimes six sous) glass, and OBJ
servers say that the blood cure is often eff
cacious. Raspail, the real precursor OF Pas
teur, noticed that the butchers and even tho
women bookkeepers in butchers shops are
singularly healthy and that their blood is, as
q rule, purer than that of people plying other
trades. Nile. Rosita Mauri, the famous opera
danseuse, once sprained her foot upon the
stage. The doctor ordered her TO go to La
Villette every morning early and to bake her
dainty ankle ia hot bulIockis blood The
habit of blood drinking, like not water drink
ing, is nauseous at first, but the patients
think no more of it after time than they
would of guIping down an oyster or glass
of absinthe. The animals ought, naturally,
to be healthy; but this can easily be tested by
experts. Although the practice appears to
have spread in France, the 'blood cure" was
really invented by an English doctor-Paris

CHICAGO. H., May S.-Concerning the

She Murders Her Child at a Mans Re-
quest,

MARION, Ind, May S.-The introduction
of evidence in the case of John Sage,
charged with the murder of Henry Gun
ningham. was commenced yestesday. The
sensation of the day was the testimony of
Eliza Sage, the divorced wife of the ac-
CuSed, who is now undergoing life sen
tence for the crime for which Sage is on
trial. Mrs. Sages' recital was highly dra-
matte and pathetic
She testified that she was % years of age;
that she first met tht prisoner in August,
1881; that soon after he commenced paying
regular and devoted attention to her, and
offered to marry her If her 2-year-Old boy
could be disposed Of She agreed to bind
the child out or to have some one adopt it,
but to this Sage objected, saying that any
one who took it would tire of it and send
it back She testified that this child was
frequently the cause Of quarrels between
them; that Sage said IL was no
worse to get away with children after
they were born than before; that it
would be easy to give it dose of medi-
cine to put it asleep so it would never
drowned and never found or being found
no one knew whose they were. She said that
Sage declared eWOuld never marry her as
long as the child was in their way, and
that he would never support another
mans child.
1helf laSJ conversation was on
Sunday, June IS 1882 They We're
standing at the fence, and the
child was at play in the grass at
their feet. At this interview, she said
Sage reiterated his demands and went
down town. She took the child and went
into the house and put on his bonnet. He
was then able to walk and talk little
She took him in her arms and went across
the fields mile to the creek. He was
dressed in flannel underclotheS, a gingham
dress and an apron. He was barefooted
She threw him in the water put her hands
over her eyes. heard a splash and cry and
ran away. Sage returned that evening and
she started to tell him what she had done
hut he stopped her He said if the child was
out Of the way there was no obstacle, and
they would be married They We're mar
ried the following evening and were ar
rested the following Thursday.
The witness was sharply cross examined,
but without impairing the force of her tes-
timOnY. Throughout the trying ordeal
Mrs. Sage bore herself comp0sedly, except
when she described the child's clothing
Then, for an instant, she appeared on the
verge of breaking down. but. hastily re
covering herself she continued without
any show of emotion further than that
settled look of sadness and despair, the re
suit of a troublesome conscience and CON
stant broOdlng over her misfortune.
