A Letter, That Gees the Rounds.
From the Worcester tafassD Gazette.
Probably no letter In the whole world in
all time has been travelling for so long as
that of the class of IA of Yale College.
Some fifty years ago some of the members
undertook to keep letter circulating, each
man receiving. 1t adding whatever he con-
sidered would interest the others, and
when the epistie got around to him again
removing his previous effort and replacing
1t with new one. So the letter went on
its endless way, year after year, and today
1t is still moving. telling to the aged men
who are left Of, the. cfass of Al what their
fellows are doing. of their Successes and
disaDointments, rot deaths, too often, as
the class dwinlAes away before the ruth
less hand OF time. Not all the survivors
are members Of the chain,p but the letter
writer's are so well distributed that al
most all OF the class mates are heard from
and hear Of the news contained In the
letter. .'@
At present the letter makes a long Jour-
ney in the interval between it's arrivals to
any one man. Worcester member Is
John A. Dana He has just received the
regretful comments of his classmates at
the death OF their old friend at college,
Col. John w. Wetherell,~ with comments
on the newspaper. biography which Mr.
Dana had Enclosed at his last sending
The letter had gone from Worcester to
Lee, Mass; thence to Chicago. to Mime
apolis, to Pasadena, Cal; Birmingham,
Ala; Cape May and another New Jersey
towh; Plantville, Conn.,; Pittsfield, Somer-
VILE and back to Worcester.

The Bulgarian.
From Longman's Magazine.

Since 1877 the country has been at peace,
save for a few trifing frontier disturb
ances. and a generation of young men has
grown up who never have seen a shot
fired in anger. Moreover, the old cause of
anger against the Turk has been removed.
for 1t is no longer Turkish soil that Mon
tenegro covets. Yet the old men who
stride up and down the street of Cettin;e
In gorgeous raiment, their silken belts
bristiing with pistol and knife, still talk
of nothing but the good old times when
the man who wanted money or armes had
only to cross the frontier into Albania and
take them; and they still pray that they
may have a chance Of striking another
blow.
All the men, young and old, are organic
ed and armed as soldiers; no man ever
leaves his house without loaded pistol
in his belt; in fact, the uniform consists of
the pistol and the red cap bearing the
princes initial. For the rest. all wear
much the same costume-viz., a tight red
or green jacket. cunningly embroidered by
an Albanian tailor and often adorned with
gold buttons, loose blue knickerbockers,
white CATERS and sheeDskin sandals and
a bright silk sash wound round and round
the waist to support the leather cartridge
bag, the pistol and the yataghan; over all
for full dress, a long tunic Of white or
green, and in wet or cold weather a. mar
row plaid thrown across the shoulders A
man going on a journey always corries
his rife, as well, slunS across his back:
but times have changed since a man living
near the frontier never left his house for
work or play without hds loaded musAet.

Petrihcd Body of o Woman,
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat

l - vSOm0ma
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Oscar Cobb and John Shackelford, while
hunting on DR.. F. Shackelford's farm, near
Fayetteville. Mo-, in Hazel township, this
county, yesterday discovered the body of a
retrfted woman. While traversing q small
ravine one Of the boys found under the
roots Of a tree, where the water had hol-
lowed out the bank, what he supposed to
be human feet. On investigation he dis
covered that they were solid stone and at
tached to some unyielding substance. Sc
curing assistance. the boys returned, and
the tree and earth removed, exposing the
body OF nude woman in a perfect state
of petrifaction. The discovery was taken
to Fayetteville, where 1t was measured
and weighed and viewed by hundreds Of
people. The mold Is that of a voluptous
woman, five and one-half feet high, and
the weight 265 pounds. The features are
perfect, face round and full, and, 1t is
claimed, could be- easily recognized If any
one were living today who had known her
in life. DR.. Shackelford has owned the
farm for fifty years, and no one was ever
buried near that spot. The tree growing
Immediately over the body, however, places
the date of the burial at some remote
period In the settlement Of the county, II
not prior to our present civilization. Those
who have inspected the petrifaction criti-
cally say that it is not an Indian. The
only abrasionS or marks on the body are a
hole in the right side and a protruding ar
row head on the left, indicating that death
resulted from the wounds. Several citizens
from this city have viewed the body, and
claim that 1t is as perfect as the work of
sculptor, the toes and finger nails being
as distinct as those of living person. 1t
will be brought to this city and placed on
exhibition.
