Emil Bausch. of Williamsburg, N.
T., who has been suffering for some
time from heart disease, sat down to his
dinner table one day recently, seemingly
in his usual health. After partaking
heartily of the viands placed before him
he rose from the table, but was taken
with what he thought fainting fit. and
said he felt sick; then, throwing up his
hands, he fell on the floor. The family,
thoroughly startled, though they had
long been expecting such an occurrence,
hastened to his relief and bore him to a
sofa, where after two or three efforts to
articulate both respiration and pulsa-
tion apparently ceased. The family
physician was sent for, but being absent,
word was left for him to call immediate
ly on his return Meanwhile no signs
Of life were visible in Mr.. Bausch, and
the family convinced of his death sent
for an undertaken, who came and was
also convinced of the death of Mr.
Bausch. Before going back to his store
for ice and box with which to preserve
the body until the time for the funeral
he attached the usual Grape insignia of
death to the front door bell.


He was gone an hour, and then when
he reached the house and prepared to
remove the body to the box the jar of
removal startled the supposed corpse into
life. Sneezing first, he gasped for breath,
and in q few moments circulation that
had been temporarily suspended resumed
it's course, and, though weak, Mr..
Bausch became once more man among
the living. The family rejoiced at the
recovery, overwhelmed him with atten-
tion and even thn undertaken. felt nleas-
services and joined in the congratula-
tions. He quickly fastened the removal
OF his paraphernalia, the last thing to
take down being the badge of Grape from
the door, which for two hours had been
suspended there.

When have lost all faith in man,
Or failed to consummate some plan;
When women lair are cold, unkind,
And things accord not with my mind,
do not rashly seize my pen
And in a furry there and then
Declare this gladsome world to be
One endless round of vanity;
Ali no, for this were mockery-


I go to bed.
When through my head there darts pain
And life seems an increasing bane,
When friends their patronage withhold,
And creditors become too bold,
do not in seclusion mourn,
And curse the hour when was born


Igo to bed.
When some D. D. deserts his creed,
And quacks their many victims bleed;
When editors write sharp replies,
And moneyed men keep back supplies,
do not then, in prose and verse,
Implore the gods mankind to curse


I go to bed.
When couples marry in great haste,
And servants pilfer, fret and waste;
When general courts their terms prolong,
In short, when things get somewhat wrong
] do not bite my lips and scowl,
And at the children snap and growl-


l go to bed.
go to bed and soundly sleep,
While friendly angels vigils keep;
But if, however, l awake
Before my ailments me forsake,
do not of my life complain,
But try the remedy again


And back to bed.
Ye who have griets (and who has not?)
Let past prescriptions be forgot,
My panacea for old and young
Is given in the English tongue,
1t hath to untold millions wrought
Sweetest relief nor cost them aught;
And now if you, like these, would be
From every pain and trouble free,
Light small lamp and come with me-

THE engineers who have been engaged
on the submarine tunnel between England
and France have not yet commenced the
tunnel itself, all that they have done at
present being to sink shaft near Sar gatte,
IN order to ascertain the depth and cur
rents of the water. When these prelim e.
i1ary experiments are concluded the work
oi making the tunnel itself will begin.
The Shaft now being sunk has a diameter
of about nine feet, and is to go to a depth
of 260 feet. Work in the shaft has been
suspended for the last three months, as
the water comes in SO rapidly that it has
been necessary to construct Il machine
which will extract 600 gallons per minute,
or double what the machine first used
could remove. The shaft has already
been sunk to half the proposed depth,
and work will be resumed before the end
of the year. The walls of the shaft are
being lined with small oak panks, with
a backing of concrete. The earth which
has been excavated is Of white chalky
nature, and very hard.

away and out ofsight on the bosom of
the swollen stream. Defendant was will -

sixteen cords; but refused to pay tor
what had feated off. Plaintiff insisted
that all the wood should be payed for.
The consequence was defendent took
none of the wood, and plaintiff brought
suit in the Justice Court, failed to get
satisfaction, appealed to the County Court
and now has to pay costs besides standing
the loss of the wood. He made mistake
In not having written agreement with
defendant. He also made mistake in
not taking $50 offered as a compromise

How They DO 1T IN JAPAN.-The
japanese method of keeping meat fresh
in hot weather is just now attracting n
good dea! of attention in European cir
cles. 1T consists in placing the raw flesh
in porcelain vessels and pouring on it
boiling water, whereby the albumen of
the surface IS quickly coagulated and
forms protection against the further
action Of the water. Oil is then poured
on the surface of the water to preven
the access of the air and consequent put
refaction Of the meat. The system OF
protecting animal substances by securing
cOaguaton of the albumen and the ex-
clusion Of air is no novelty; and it can
hardly be supposed that we are indebted
TO the japanese for its original adoption.
But undoubted = their method of apply
ing il is far preferable to that practiced
by ourselves in the process of preserving
timed meats, which appears to consist
in boiling them for such length Of
time that almost all their flavor is des-
troyed and the result is mass Of taste

Iy starting the horse into motion and urg.
ing him TO "show off," something may
be suspected because it is when the horse
is at perfect rest that his weak points are

fiat upon the ground, and all bis legs

PUBLICANs, AND THE PRESIDENT FOUND TO BE


FIRM


IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l


WASHINGTON, May 25.-A very curious incident
has occurred in connection with the fix in which
the Democrats find themselves. 1t seems that some
of the Democrats have been seeking to make one
or two leading Republicans believe that
the only way out of the present deadlock
will be through compromise In which the.Repub-
licans must yield some of the positions taken by
the President. This idea appears to have been
pressed with great vigor by friends of Senator Thur
man. who are anxious to get their candidate for the
Presidency out of the awkward and damaging
situation in which his fierce advocacy of extreme
measures has placed HIM. These gentlemen
seem to have impressed one OF two Republicans
with the idea that the Democratic position is one
that may we'll cause alarm and that the easiest way
out of the trouble will be for Republicans to yield
enough to induce the Democrats to make appro-
priations and 20 secure quiet for the country.


With tins idea the White House was carefully re-
connoitered to see If the President could not be
made to see as much trouble in the situation as
those who presented the case to him. He very
promptly said he did not see why Republicans
need mourn because a Democratic Congress had
killed the Democratic party and that at any rate he


oud not change his course in the least in order to
make back-dOWn for the Democrats any easier |;
sooner or later they would he Obliged to accept the
situation and surrender. Those who are acquainted
with this attempt at compromise ana the result
are well satisfied to find that the firmness of the
President is quite sufficient to save the party from
blunder which want of courage III one or two Con-
greSsmen came near precIpltatlng.

AARON ADOPTS A RESOLUTION WHICH

When Aaron was at home he stopped

Simon Amere and his sons was Of pc
culiar kind. Natives of the old country
feel themselves old men at the age be-
tween fifty and sixty years. Iti only En-
glishmen and Americans who feel young
and act youthfully at that age, and but
for their gray hair, one could not tell
their age Their complexion is fair, their
hair and boards we'll trimmed, their dress
light and fitting, their gait easy. They
are not averse to taking hand in base
ball on the lawn, or row in boat, or
turn with lady at dance in the parlor.
At the sight of such hearty and fresh
gentlemen the view of life becomes
cheerful. But the majority Of old Eu-
ropens present more of the patriarchal
phase of age. They lay great stress upon
their experience, and although they feel
quite healthy, they deem it unbecoming
to walk erect, to talk light, and to show
that they enjoy gaiety. Especially is
such the case with Simon Amere coun-
trymen, and more especially with such
as profess scholarship.

of any practical account In fact, nothing

On being informed he hastily procured a minister, and helping his fair bride from one of the other wagons in the train, stepped with her on to the side walk, when they were duly united in the bonds of wedlock. After receiv ing the congratulations of the minister and their friends, he assisted his pretty young wife to a seat in his own wagon and drove of apparently perfectly happy.

Sitting Bull has ut last retired
from public life. He and his band
inevs Withdrawn 70 swan Lake,
eighty miles north Of the boundary
and has given the Canadian gov
crnmont assurances that they will
be good hereafter. II it said that
i'll consequence of this action on tho
part of Sitting Bull, army circles at
Washington arc very much cha
grincd and cast down. Well, they
ought to be. They might have
known, if they had common sense,
that the Indians would not last for
ever, and that if they expected to
continue the regular summer war
they would have TO be saving of
them. The fact IL, the Indians have
been wasted. With judicious man
agement, and proper exercise Of
economy, the number Of hostile In
dians that were in the country five
years ago could have been made TO
last for ten years yet. And now
they are all gone. 1t may be thata
fight or two can be picked, after
this, and that the officers of the
army will be able TO show congress
that any reduction of the army
would be fraught with grave conse-
quenccs, but ON the whole tho In
dians have been literally squander-
ed. All that arc left are q servile
lot Of cowardly ours that an Indian
agent might swindle and rob, and


western desperadocs outrage to any
extent, and they couldn't be made
TO rise and go on the war-path.
They are stoughton bottles, and fer
army uses are no better than 80
many Cinnamon. And now Sitting


Bull, the last Of the game Indians,
has settled down on Canadian soil

substance in riotous living, il is
hard to say what the army officers
will do. They now see what they
have done, and feel the mistake
kcenly, but II il too late. Half the
amount Of Indians that were killed
ever summer would have done Just
as well. II has been from first TO
last piece Of grossest extravaganza
and any attempt on the part Of the
army ring TO obtain an appropria-
ton from congress, for the purchase
of more Indians, should meet with
a united opposition on the part of
the people and the press.

that one hundred times as many have

IF the Democracy OF Kentucky don't
do better in 1880 than in elections of
last week, Rsdicalism will be encour-
aged to sind money and peace officers
into the State and bulldoze It into the e
support of Sherman. If Tilden be re-
nominated this would not be a big job.
People down South, except to the ex-
tent that names are things and that
they abhor RadicaLsm, would never
weep If, in such case, their candidate
were beaten. The defeat of the party
is not, however, to be contemplated.
Kentucky, like Texas, must stand
erect But this vast falling off in the
Democratic vote is significant of pop
ulsr loss of interest in public af-
fairs. False questions have been
thrust before US, and those of which
we were weary even In 1860, and local
issues have arisen of such magnitude
that those involved in Federal contests
have lost interest. EYen in Texes the
people for a time forgot RandGll and

many that we might discuss the public
schools and Stat. credit, and even in
Texas the omnipotent party may be
rent In twain. Certainly 1t was smit

later the merchant considered that it was
time to restore the young man to his senses,
but he soon discovered that he was power
less to perform that act, and to all appear
ances had lost control of his subject. When
he had been under the influence for an hour
the merchant began to get scared, and so
did the company, who looked upon the af-
fair as a genuine transaction. Finally a
doctor was sent for, but before he arrived
the young man had kissed all the young
ladies in the room and scattered the compa-
ny around in every direction. When the
doctor arrived at the house he had fully re-
covered, and it was not until to-day that the
cat was let ont of the bag. ......
