darins and seek justice for the murder of
a Christian. The demon, ever the same,
raises up the same obstacles in our day
as in the first centuries of the church in
Europe. This year, at recently estab-
Eshed station, some pagans plotted to-
gether to put the best instructed among
the Christians to death. Several hun
dreds having collected, carrying an idol,
they made the circuit of the village,
stopping at every house and saying that
the idol, the old grandfather, as they
called it, was hungry
''Our Christian had been warned of
the plot to kill him. A few days before
he had gone to some neophytes to bid
them goodby, saying; This time snail
die. Pray for my soul We shall never
meet again!'
His pagan relatives came to his
house on the day fixed upon, and on his
refusal to join in their superstitions they
began to beat him with sticks. One of
his assailants, a schoolmaster, came to
the front, crying: This dog will die
hard You are not able for him. Let me at
him.
He took off his clothing, to be more
at his ease, turned over the body, already |
covered with bruises, and struck at it |
with redoubled force, so that the blood |
spurted out as far as the yard, the wretch |
crying the while: Do you see what
fine pig we have killed? What fine thick
blood! This is how we will pierce the

Remarkable Case of Fertilization.

More than 40 years ago boy IL or D
years of age died in Waldo county, and
his body was laid at rest in the family
vault in the local cemetery. -Four years
ago. or over SO years after the body was
placed in the vault, sexton, noticing
the wonderful preservation of the coffin,
opened it. Imagine his surprise to find
therein what he thought was a new
corpse. 1t was perfectly preserved-so
perfectly that the sexton doubted his
wits andwondered if it were not body
that had been placed in the vault unbe-
known TO him. Knowing that the fam
lily that owned the vault were all long
since dead, the sexton went to the exec
utor of the estate and told him of his
discovery. Together they visited the
vault, and at the first look the executor
exclaimed, Good heavens, that's the
body Of a young son of the family who
died more than 30 years agoP' Greatly
they carefully examined the
and found them thoroughly
petrified. The boy had scarcely changed
from the hour of his death. The only
was that the eyes were sunk

blue tie and collar were as if but just

Napoleon Leads.

The editor of French press cutting
agency, who deals in the newspapers Of
the entire world, made a calculation as
to who is oftenest mentioned as pub
lie character. Napoleon l stands first,
although this is probably in consequence
of the passing fashion of things Napo-
leonic that set in some time ago. Then
comes the emperor of Germany, then
Prince Bismarck and only in the fourth
place Mr.. Gladstone. Immediately after
comes President CarnOt, and the pope

Business is improving, but very
slowly. The shadow of the Wilson
Bill hangs over the business world
like a pail. The shelves of stores
are empty of goods, but no one
wants to buy any more until he finds
out whether the Wilson Bill will
not deluge the country with cheap
foreign wares. Manufactures will
not start up for the same reason.
There is, therefore, no employment
for workingmen and no wages with
which they can buy what others
produce.

Oae OF thu most unique and interest

many day, was the passage through
the city OF Surveyor General Manning's
ore caravan from Mexico, en- route TO
the smelter in Colorado. When the
heavy teams passed up Pennington
street en- route to the depot the process
sion reminded one of the arrival of a
-begTimad circus before it had
cleaned up for the street parade.
The ore comes from Sonora and is
very rich silver chloride Some of the
ore is in chunks weighing several hun
dred pounds, showing that the assures
from which the ore came from are large
and evenly rich.
The expenses OF bringing thu ore to
Tucson consumes about eighty ounces
of silver at the present market price,

quantity is so large that it is under
