A GLASS TOMBSTONE.
Original Memorial Erected Over q
Grave AT kittunning.
taf

| pFhNe AT h1ItuIiII1&.
PittsDurR Despatch.
A glass tombstone: that is cert ainly some
|. thing unique. Such a grave marker stands
In but one place in the United States, and
that is in the cemetery overlooking the city
of Kittanning. Ii has but recently been set
up there, over the grave Of Mrs. Elizabeth
Pepper OF Ford City, by her son, Matthias
Pepper.
Tue Kitanning cemetery possesses many
handsomely laid out, with winding walks,
stately trees and ornamental shrub bbcry, and
in it are mary pretcntious monuments. Not
one of the plies of marble and granite at
tracts so much attention as the piece 0f
polished glass, with its clear inscription.
which stands ona gentle slope falling slowly
from the hilltop.
i description of this OmbgiaS IS was given
TO me by Judge Joseph Burlington, VIII" is a
resident OF kittanning. Before his appoint
ment to tln' bench of the United States dis
trict court he was counsel for the Pittsburg
Piatc Glass Company. which made the glass
at its Ford City works, i-
Matthias Pepper, who bad the glass set
up. is assistant superintendent at the Ford
City factory. Thepicce used n gra vc me-
mortal j. part of large plate which was
made OF unusual thickness Tor the Construc-
ton oT circular pancs To cover the pOrthOles
of ocean steamships. The practical indie
structibility or glass WAS its quality which
suggested tn Mr.. Pepper its use in the ceme-
terry. Marble and granite seem so many TO
be almost eternal in their hardness but
they are far from il, and not a all to he
compared with glass. Wind and rain, heat
and cold have their effects on stone OF any
kind, and finally wear AWAY the hardest
granite and cause il to crimblc Go into
any Old grave yard. where stones were erect
cd more than one hundred years ago, and it
viii be found to be the exception where all
the lettering on the monuments can bc made
out. The stone has crumble'l and the outline
has been obliterated. No such effect rs pro.
duccd by the weather Oh glass.
The Pepper monument is Of plate glass
one inch thick, a foot ana a half wide and
four feet high. 1t stands in a mortise cut
into Il cube OF sandstone. The top OF the
glass is archcd. The lettering on 1t is
made by the sand blast" process, and is
distinct The monument bears this in
scription:
..In memory of Elizabeth Pepper, Of
Ford City. Died February 4, 1892.
Aged seventy-sevcn years.
"Also William Pepper, husband OF the
above Died -. Aged -"
From this inscription it may be inferred
truly that william Pepper is stiIl living.
The Peppers are of English birth. and
came TO Ford City years ago directly from
the Great Dillingham; Glass Works, in Lon
don.
This new use for plate glass is likely to
become extended, for it has many things
to recommend it. The transparence and
purity of the material are suggestive and
1t is easily and quickly
etched, its cost is not great, and in dura-
bility IL surpasses any other available

Horrors of Gambia lism.

The caDnibalism of the Black Secret
Society known as the Human Leopards, in
the country near the Sierra Leone disclosed
by the recent trial, brings forcibly before
us the difference between the East African
and the West African habits of eating
human flesh. The Shcrbro cannibaIs
waylaid and killed their victims, and
afterward feasted on their flesh. The
capnibalism of the east coast is of a very
different kind. The flesh of the old
people-the grandfather and grandmother
of the famiiy-is dried and mixed with
condiments; and n portion OF this is offered,
with dim sort of sacramental meaning,
to travellers who become guests of the
family. To refuse it would be a deadls
Insult. To accept it is a passport TO the
privileged position OF a friend of the house.
Many Of our travellers in East Africa have
eaten thus sacramentaIly of ancestors of
SOME dark-skiDned potentate.
The caDnibaism of the west coast Is,
rs has just been seen, ,aof a more horrible
kind. The Sherbro case seems TO be con-
nected with fetichism, the worst develop
ments which are peculiar TO that country;
but there is a hideously genuine appetite
for fresh human flesh still existing among
the negroes of West Africa. The cann-
balism manifests itself in a refinement
OF gluttony which has its mild analogy
tD the tastes of Europeans. Young boys
are brought from the dark interior, kept
10 pens, fattened upon bananas, and finally
killed and baked. To these Thvestean
feasts come not only the savage chiefs
Of the interior, but also, it is whispered,
black merchants from the coast.-London
