said at the Palmer house the other day,
according TO the Chicago Inter Ocean:
AT this season of the year many

ocean air.
The existence of these little islands,

a mere speck as they appear almost in

The largest island in the group is only
thirteen miles in length, yet II has a
large population and produces all kinds
of serni-tropical fruits and flowers
abundantly. Much of the soil is planted
in onions, which are our principal prod

PICTURE ON a COFFIN LID.
The Terrifying Sight Which Confrontsd

james Clarebsck, about fortv-five
years Of age, was recently engaged at
Harrington Corners ten miles from FL
mira, n. Y, in resurrecting the remains
of Mrs. NJ. c. Harrington In order to
bury them in another place. The body
had been under ground for thirty-hve
years, and in digging for it Clarebacl,
struck a great deal of water. He
reached the remnants of the outer box
surrounding the coffin, and when he
pulled them ont of the way he was
greatly astonished to see what appeared
TO be HRS. Herrington's body, apparent
IL undisturbed and so lifeiike as to CON
vey to his mind the belief that living,
eathing woman was before him.

bones. The head, however, was per
fectly preserved. The bones were COW
cred with flesh which had petrifed, the
whole being as hard s. stone, while
the hair had grown TO an unusual
