Death-Bed Statistics.

When great man dies, no one is in
terested in learning who surrounded
his deathbed, but the news is always
sent out. People care no more TO
know, than to hear if he were laid out
in the parlor or bedroom, or if he were
attired in a shroud or his regular
clothes. But an Atchison inquirer has
measured his bed, and finds that with
out unseemly crowding it will accom-
modate 16. How, then, can 80 and 40

town of Interior, n with having in
addition stolen some v%aluables from
the house and some horses from Har-
