Grave Filling Device.

A device for use in constructing
graves the invention Of Henry D.
Cameron, of Burlington, Iowa. is de-
signed to fill the grave with earth after
the coffin has been lowered, and tc
conceal as far as possible the actual
throwing Of tie dirt upon the coffin,
the most trying termination Of the
grave ceremony to the bereaved
mourners. 1t consists Of a receptacle,
with detachable sides and bottom, and
a gate in the latter so arranged as to
be capable of being opened to allow
the contents to fall. The front is a
flexible curtain. extending from the
top to the gate, and designed to pre-
Avent the earth within from being seen.
This receptacle is filled with earth
previous to tie ceremony and carried
70 a convenient point. When all is
over and the grave is to be filed, the
receptacle is placed over it, and the
gates opened, thus gently closing the
last sad scene in a much more fitting
manner than the seemingly cold
hearted return OF the earth with a
spade. t.. ~ III"

The Flight Of Empree~ Eug enie.

The true story Of the flight Of tho
Empress Eugene from the Tuilleries
will soon be published. 1t is now in
the form of manuscript left by DR..
T. w. Evans, the American dentist,
who accompanied the Empress in her
flight to England. DR.. Crane, who
aided DR.. Evans in protecting Eugene
and accelerating her flight, says he
only awaits decision OF the court be-
fore publishing this contribution to
French history. The reason why it was
not published during DR.. Evans life
time is because it deals hard blows at
those who deserted the Empress in her
hour of trial. Now that most Of the
chief actors in the drama of 1870 have
passed away, the venerable ex-Empress
has expressed the wish that this inter-
esting manuscript be published.

HEAVY GUNS DESTROY EARS.

why So Many Artill<rymen snffer From
Defective Hearing.
The stunning report OF each gun a.
it is fired is something that stranger
on the deck of ship of war will long
remember. There is an old saying,
deaf as post" Now in the English
navy this is changed to deaf as q
post captain" No man can go through
long series of gunnery practices
without having his hearing seriously
affected. Some men put cotton in their
ears, but even this precaution does lit
tie to deaden the terrible shock. And
if the firing of one or two guns has
such shattering power, what would
be the effect If the whole armament
were in action together? It is inn
possible to conceive the strain on nerve
and senses of the rending concussion.
If a visitor watches the firing Of one
of the monster nine-inch guns and then
places himself beside one of the small
er pieces, the report made by the one
will not appear much louder than that
Of the other. The extra distance to the
muzzle OF the big pieces discounts the
sound. The only apparent difference
between the two appears to be that
the small pieces have sharper, high
er-pitched note, and that the six and
nine-inch guns speak with more of a
believing roar. One piece of advice
may be given to any one who finds
himself in the neighborhood of a gun
in action. The noise will not have
nearly the same effect If you are
watching the gun as II the crash comes
Unexpectedly. Unconsciously nature
prepares you to resist a shock which
Is known to be impending.

OF peculiar interest were the tuner.
al services of Gerry Valentine. Mr..
Valentine was one of the early set
tiers of this place, and was more than
80 years old. He was an ardent Spir-
litualist, and when he died he left dl-
rections for his funeral, which were
intended to be practical demonstra-
ton of his belief. The services were
held In the Universalist church. Tho
preacher was Samuel Wheeler, a noted
Spiritualist of Philadelphia. and he
chose THE Rainbow Bridge" as his
subject Then the meeting was given
over into the hands of Mrs. Minnie
Brown. clairvoyant from Philadel
phia. Immediately after Mrs. Brown
had taken her position several raps
were heard. Our brother has mes

medium. He wishes to thank Mr..
Osgood and the others for their care
In carrying out his wishes in regard
TO his funeral ceremonies. I Mrs.
Brown then gave the information that
Mr.. Valentine was not alone, but that
j. o. Ransome, Mr.. Parkhurst and Mr..
Wyatt, former friends Of the dead
man, had accompanied him on his Sit
tie journey in the world" Several
other shades Of departed Spirtualists
had come with them. They reported
that they had made things homelike
Cor Mr.. Valentine, and gave messages
to the friends of the latter which were
Intended to cheer and comfort them.
The announcements were hailed b. the

pleasure, and after few more con-

This lady, who said that she was Arst
cousin to Lord North, second cousin
10 the Duke of Grafton, nearly related
to Lady Fitzroy and q personal friend
OF Lord Guilford and Charles James
Fox, drove about London In . hand
some chariot, with footpen: her char
lot stopped 1t the dooS Of great
houses; she received great people At
her own house, notably Charles James
Fox; she also condescended to receive
smaller people. The latter gave her
large sums OF money, In return for
which she promised them places. One
was to be clerk in the victualing Of
Ace, one was to be a court waiter; one
was to be clerk in the admiralty: one
was to be a Settled tidesman:" an
other was to have anything that hap
pened to be COINS. Charles Fox as
sisted, unwittingly, at spreading the
belief in the lady's powers and pro-
misses, because he frequently drove to
her lodgings, and left his carriage out
side for all the world to see. The rea-
son was not friendship, but interest
He, too, received promises. He was
at the moment impecnnious. The lady
promised him West Indian heiress,
with 100000. He called daily to in
guire after his heiress with all the
eagerness of young lover Aids! the
heiress was never visible; she was
even reported to be laid up with small
pox. Her visits were SO useful to the
Hon. Elizabeth that she actually lent
him $1,500, a step which naturally
made him believe more firmly in the
West Indian. OF course, when the ex-
pectant men found that there was
nothing for them they went to court
and saw the M gistrate. 1t came out,
on investigation. that the lady was
not in any sense honorable; that she
was not related to any great people;
that her history was a mass of lies.
and that she was nothing more than

Virginia. They kept her in prison for a
