BURIED IN A CHAIR.
Eccentric Hezskieh Shepherds Pc
culiar Coffin.

Culiar COf1n.
From the Net1 York Press.
CENTERvILLE, IA, Aug 27.-Hezekiah
Shepherd, the esteemed but eccentric old
gentleman who lived at Drakeville, has had
his wishes carried out by being buried In a
ooffiu in the shape Of a chair. For the past
fifteen pears Mr.. Shepherd had been una
BILE to rest except in an easy chair, and In
that position he proposed to rest In the
grave.
His friends endeavored to dIssuade him
from his eccentric notion, but he ordered a
cabinet maker to construct the curious
casket. which was finished before his death.
1t was Substantially built Of white Oak, with
walnut trimmings. He left Instructions to
have his body placed in this cssket in a sit
ting position, the wrists strapped to the
arms of the chair, the limbs to It's legs and
neck to the back. A glass panel was placed
in front.
All these instructions we're carried out,
and the coffin placed in huge box in an up
right position. The chair coffin was kept
on exhibition in the room of the deceased
for six weeks previous to his death, and he
took especial satisfaction in displaying fl
TO his friends. He was 80 years OF age, a
wealthy farmer. and was loved and honored
by all Davis county people.

EARLY DAYS ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
A Battle With the Indians and the
Arrow Marks on a Steamer.

a Battle With the Indians and the
Arrow Marks on Steamer.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Mate Nash was mate on the handsome
steamer Silver Lake No. 4. In June, 1865,
the Lake made trading trip to the head
waters of the Missouri. The boat tied up
one night near the mouth OF Cannon Ball
river, eighteen miles below Fort Rtce. The
fires were banked and steam went down
rapidly. Just after dark Mate Nash told
the captain that strong watch should be
set, for he had seen moccastn tracks along
the shore. The captain laughed at the idea
Of danger. He had scarcely spoken when
an owl boot was heard of in the hills In
a moment wolf bark sounded from up the
bank. Again came the owl boot and twice
more was the wolf bark heard. Half an
hour later the Indians swarmed out of tn
woods and began shooting arrows into the
cabin OF Silver Lake No. T. The fremen of
a steamboat never worked harder in a race
than the Lakes f1remen worked to raise
steam. 1t was seen that unless the boat got
started up stream very soon the indians by
force of numbers would board her. The
line was cut by venturesome roustabout,
and the boat aoated down with the current
while the reds pursued on shore.
AT length enough steam pressure
was indicated to start the vessel ahead. As
it got well under way Mate Nash wheeled
the boats mountain howitzer into position
near the eapstsn, and, under a shower Of ar
rows, sent a shell among the hostiles. As
the missile rolled along the ground q score
Of Indians attempted to PICK it up. when
the explosion occurred. Several shells we're
fred into the crowd on shore, each one
dealing out death at q fearful rate. That
battle cost the Indians twenty-five warriors
and forty ponies, while sixty arrow marks
and one man wounded was all the damage
that the Silver Lake No. suffered.

Charles A. Briggs of the Union Theological
Seminary. delivered An address at the ban
quet OF the Presbyterian Social Union of
central New York. at which $50 persons
were present DR.. Briggs said that during
his recent stay on the Pacific coast he
refused all Invitations to speak, or preach,
or even pray IN public. and he had thought
he would keep silent until fall, adding: Il

To the social duties which of necessity
grow out of her husbands prominence.
Very few people have any idea of the tre-
mendOus burdens laid upon the wife of the
President. She rs watched. spied at. crIti-
csed anil handled by name In the most nm
American fashion. The senseless tattery
beaped upon Mrs. Cleveland, for instance,
was nothing new. i recall Distinctly de-
scriptlons written of Mrs Lincoln in Il Ga.
which were quite as silly, quite as tlatn-
liant, quite as far from the truth
as anything ever written concerning Miss
Folsom. OF later. Mrs. Cleveland. Modern
journalism has perhaps taken q long step

the personal habits of these estimable
ladies ~ concerned. but in description and
slathering praise of most disgusting nature
the newspaper correspondents of thirty
years ago were quite the peers of the dis
ciples of more modem times.
Mrs Lincoln was q plain. homely woman.
She was the wife of Abraham Lincoln,
and had never min gled in circles OF special
refinement. She was kind hearted. good

Presidents wife bore him most material
advantage. Mrs. Grant, as all who have
seen her know. is plain woman. with
domestic tastes. utterly unfamiliar
with the arts and fashions OF what
is known as high life, yet the descriptions
written of her. her excellent taste in dress
and her disiiDgue manner would persuade
a stranger that she was To the manner born.
So 1t has been right straight through and

Inaugurated President. the picture of bis

hdant and Counsellor.
New York Advertiser.
In all the gossip. news. criticism and
praise of DIR Parkhurst's crusade for re-
form in New York city the name of the
woman who encouraged BIN by her sub
lime confidence and answering faith to
continue the work which he has mapped
out for himself has not been mentioned.
Mrs Parkhnrs Is n matrOnl Y looking lady,
in the second beauty of her womanhood.
She has large. soft brown eyes that seem
TO look into ones heart with sn expression
of sincerity. Her face is Indicative of
Thought and full appreciation of the seri-
BUSINESS OF life rather than of great force of
character. Her hands are delicate and
pretty. and she uses them gracefully.
Mrs. Parkhurst dresses plainly, with very
little ornanientatiOD about her apparel and
she gives tine visitor the i'm preston of be-
ing thorough home lady" and an iueal
housewife. But the predomlnating the
absorbing characteristic of Mrs. Parkhurst

piicit confidence in the wisdom of all that
he does Every sn~er Intended for the
Doctor passed lightly by him and found
full helpmrct. She felt every unkind WORD.
and does not hesltate to admit that she did.
However. this quiet little body can be
sarcastic when aroused, rs Is CIV Idencrd by
the following reply which che made 10
question as 10 whether DIR. Parkhurst
minded the harsh criticism and violent
abuse that appeared In some papers. She
said. with considerable spirit: lie was
philosophical about II. and considered the
source. The un principled class hate him
as they do the devIl-woree, IN fact for he
has no terror or them. but an good people
hate tho devil. They are morally ire
sponsible. For truth they do not entertain
even "a vague regard. and where there is no
truth there can bo no honor. To notice
the utt-rances OF such persons, in court or
in PRINT, would be folly. They are beneath
the dignity of contempt. Liars are gener-
ally towards, and one of the weapons of
cowardice is the anonymous letter" 1t is
