DEAD HoR 40 DAYS.
n Remarkable Case OF Suspended Anf-
mation "a RunJses singh's Court


n RemmrknbIe Case OF Suspended Ant-
nation a. RunJsst singh's Court
Ny first acquaintance with the nara
tive dates from my boyhood. About the
time Of the occurrence heard il related
by my father, and his authority was the
well known General Avifable, Runjeet
Singhis right hand man, who was present.
Those facts are that certain joghee
Hindoo anchorite), said to possess the
power Of suspending at viii and resum-
ing the animation Of his body, was sent
for by Runjeet Singh, and, declining to
obey, was brought by force into the
tyrant's presence and ordered 70 give,
under pain OF death, practical proof OF
his supposed power. He submitted per-
force.
He was put by his disciples through
certain processes, during which he be-
came perfectly unconscious; the pulses
ceased, his breath did not stain a polished
mirror, and European doctor, who was
present, declared that the heart had
ceased to beat. To all appearances he
was as dead as Queen Anne. In this
state he was put into carefully made
box, the lid was closed and sealed with
Runjeet Singh's own signet ring.
The box was buried in a vault prepared
In an open plot Of ground under the royal
windows Of Lahore, and the place was
guarded day and night by Runjeets own
guards under General Avitable's own
supervision.
Sun and rain came and grass sprang
up, grew and withered on the surface
over the grave. and the sentries went
their rounds, and the joghee's disciples
and friends were all kept under careful
surveillance, not to call it imprisonment.
After 40 days, in Runjeet Singh's own
presence, the vault was uncovered and
the box extracted from it with its seals
intact.
It was opened, and showed the jughee
within precisely as he had been placed.
He was taken out, dead still, to all APP
pearance, but the body inconupt. His
disciples were now brought to manipu
late the body in the manner which he
had taught them and which he had pub.
hcly explained before his burial
He revived. as he had said he would.
and was soon in as perfect health as
when he had suspended his life. He re-
fused all gifts and retired to his former
retreat, but shortly afterward he and his
disciples disappeared. 1t was not safe
for such man to live in the jurisdiction
Of so inquisitive and arbitrary ruler
