Adlai Stevenson has a fad. He
always calls baldheaded men to pre-
side over the senate when there are
any lying around in the chamber
with nothing else to do. Gallinger,
whose dome is almost a counterpart
of the vice-president's shining pate,
is high favorlte, and he occupies
the presiding officers chair twice as
frequently as any other man. Ba-
con, Of Georgia, belongs in the same
class, and he is almost daily call
ed on to serve. Shoup, of Idaho, al
so has a round bald head, and is call
ed upon every little while, apparently

A Petriaed Nj an.

Fourteen years ago DR.. William
Davidson of Jackson County died
and was buried in tie usual way.
Last March his wife also died. A
grave was prepared by the side of
her lamented husband, but 1t soon
filled with water, so much so that it
was decided to bury at another place
not far off, which was done. On
last Tuesday relatives and friends de-
ci ed to remove the remains of the
Doctor to the side of his wife,
His grave was uncovered, at the bot
tom Of which large running stream
Of water was found passing in at the
head and through and out at the foot
of the grave. The coffin and all
other wooden material which had
been used in putting him away, ex-
cept the bottom plank Of the coffin,
had decayed and turned to earth a.
gain. But to the utter astonishment
of every one present, DR.. Davidson
lay before them in full life size,
in form except both arms were gone
and his mouth little enlarged. On
examination it was found that he
was petrified and had become solid
rock instead Of flesh and blood.
Mr.. @. n. Wheeler of CookvilIe,
and County Surveyor Of Putnam
County was present at Dr. McCon's
last Friday, the old homestead Of
Dr. Davidson, to which place the
petrifed body Of the Doctor had
been removed, and made a critical
examination Of the body He says
the socks on the feet were plainly
visible and the gloves which he had
worn were crossed upon his breast
and had turned to solid rock. Those
present who handled the body in.
formed him that the body was a sol
id rock. The body had been put in
to a new coffin and a winding sheet
drawn around it,
Crowds Of people were focking tC
: DR.. McCoiu's to view the body as
the Doctor was a well known physi-
clan of that part of Jackson County
, and is well remembered by many Of
cur citizens
+ Preparations to re-inter the body
g last Saturday had been completed
q and it was buried, It took nne per,
0 sons to carry the body, and it was es
