fRIDAT, FEBRUARY 11, 1887.

The senate bill, appropriating $50,000 for the erection of public building at Liifayetto, passed the house yesterday.

Mr. Cleveland has d—d the Cincinnati Enquirer again. But the Enquirer was d—d lo.ig before he was president, and it. doesn't mind it.

Congress favors ghoulish glee and funerals at which senators and representatives may assist will continue. There will he no cutting down of expenses, and drinks will be furnished free, as usual.

Sail Lake has sent a formidable delegation to Washington to lobby against the Edmunds-Tucker bill. Mormandoin has money, perseverance and craftiness, and polygamy will not die without a st-rug-

A man who was giving his experience in a meeting of the Salvation army at St. Louis was interrupted with the cry of "Chestnuts." He withered the irreverent blasphemer with the rebuke: "That is not nice."

At this jiiLCture there is something touching iu Henry Watterson's prayer that God may raise up a leader for the Democratic party. Tt is not unreasonable, however, that lie should ask so decided a change.

Every few days Judge Gresham makes a few remarks that are copied in the newspapers and quoted by his admirers. Whether ali these will hecollected at the proper time for the furtherance of a Uresham boom, remains to be seen.

The story concerniug Mrs. Urahain is highly improbable, and will not do much toward exhonerating Emma Malloy. She must have reason to manufacture a romance so highly colored, and which leaves agood many ugly points in the murder entirely unexplained.

Chicago is chuckling with delight, in anticipation of an invasion of pretty schoolms'ftniB, next summer. Tho National Teachers' convention will be held there, and 10,000 teachers are expected, the majority of whom belong to the sex that is monopolizing the profession.

Bernmda has been one of the most fashionable'resorts during the past winter, but this will not console those who have been forced to stay at home and face the blizzard, keep up fires and sprinkle ashps on slippery sidewalks, The per cent, of people who can enjoy the balminess of Bermuda is as small as the per cent, who will go to heaven.

A man in Chicago snatched a pocket book out of a woman's hand and ran with it. She followed him, jumping two picket fences in the pursuit, and finally chased him out of a dog hou«e iu whioh he had taken refuge. She held him while her sister screamed and railed for the police This is only another evidence that the coming woman will be able to take care of herself.

A branch of the Humane society has been established in Terre Haute, which will devote itself to punish ottenders for cruelty to children and animals. There is no place in the state where such an organization is more badly needed. There may be seen upon thetreets every

day horses that are starved, lame, overworked and treated with barbarous cruelty. The society- will be active, energetic and wide-awake.

justice in the case was lost sight of. The guilt of the man w»s proved beyond doubt and the verdict was justified by his supposed emotional insanity. This particular case, which is only cue of thousands, will probably lead to the amendment of the law, so that proof of seduction cf wife, sister or daughter v/ill be sufficient to secure the acquittal of the slayer. To any thoughtful person the possibilities of such a law are full of danger. There is already, among the ignorant and the lawles?, a terrible disregard of human life. There are localities. in this state and elsewhere, where shooting and stabbing are things of such common occurrence that they are regarded as a matter of course. A law, like the one proposed, will ba only increased license to murderers. And, in cases like these, for which the new law proposes to providej the woman is a party to thj crime and equally guilty, especially if she has at tained years of discretion, and has taken upon herself the responsibilities of wife and mother. Before starting on the downward road sha has ample time to count the cost to reflect what retribution a departure from honor inevitably brings, and he impossibility of retrieving what she is doomed to loose. The New Albany Ledger urges the enactment of the proposed law on the ground that laws should be made to rc-flect public opinion, when that opinion became fixed. There ia no Mich thing as fixed public opinion. History is a record of public opinion that served it-i time, and has been succeeded by other and radically d'liferent beliefs, rim law demanded to-day will be repealed to-monovv, and public opinion is responsible for its instability.

Further more, there is nothing more treacherous and fickle. Those who have attended t»ials have observed how belief in the innocence or guilt of a defendeut is swayed by the evidence, first upon one side and upon the other, and is finally fixed in accordance with the eloquence of the attorneys for the prosecution or defence. In the instructions of the judge upon the bench, and the finding of tne jury, which shouid be based upon the facts as they have heard them recited upon the witness-stand, the opinion of the people shared have no weight or part. If verdicts are to be rendered to gratify the popular cry for vengeance, then judge and jury are both unnecessary. It is not improbable that the very men and women who saw the sick healed and lepers cleansed were ready to join their voice with those of the multitude in the cry of "crucify him."

There has been an insinuation recently that, tho newspapers which insert advertisements for Western real estate men are not doing right by their home cities. This may be true of some of them, who make no persistent and practical efforts to farther the interests of their own localities, but it is far from true of the Gazette. This paper accepts advertisements from real estate men here and elsewhere, just as it takes them from all reputable men, and if it does a large business in this way, it is because tho paper has been found by the advertisers to be a good medium for reaching the people. While this is true the Gazette years ago, initiated an industrial department iu Terro Haute Haute journalism in which it has persistently, without charg s, advanced the interests of Terre Haute's factories, ftimiliarly it has put its shoulder to the wheel, without cost to anyone for every new enterprise in which Terre Haute has been interested. It acc9pted no money from the Klectric Light company when it was getting established here famishing the eity with light This cannot be said of all its competitors. Its columns are, and have always been, free to "boom" the interests of Terre Haute both in efforts to secure additional factories and bnsiuess enterprises of all kinds.

The Express is glad to learn that the Gszette is published in the interest of Terre Haute. The Express, like the public, has been misled by the large headlines over articles clipped from Western papers, and given preferred positions among reading matter. If those articles were advertisements they should have occupied proper positions. There is "nothing that equals crowing for home." Let the Kansas papers boom their towns and Terre Haute papers boom Terre Haute. Kansas farmers do not support Terre Haute, neither do Kaiisas towns support Terre Haute newspapers. Those newspapers that believe in booming SinitlivilJe, Kansas, or other towns in that state, should "gn West" and grow up with the boom.

There are many "real estaie" offices throughout Indiana, concerns fitted up with a big counter, a few tables, a big stove and several brassy clerks, who are employed because of their ability to talk. And the men who run these concerns iuduce men tosell out, leave homesteads they have spent years in acquiring, and go west. It is not the welfare of the farmers for which these men care, but their own pockets. The more suckers they secure, the larger their roll.

Can any one tell the number of men and women who have been financially ruined in Terre Haute by this Kansas business? They were drawn on by the slick-tongued agent, and invested their hard earned money. They "went broke" in a short time. Women, whose hus bands died aud left them well off, have dropped thousands and thousands in this western business. Men, middle-aeed men and old men, who ought to have possessed more sense, invested their money, mortgaged their homes, and lost. There are men and women iu Terre Haute who, five vears ago were well-to-do, had comfortable homes, aud whose prospects were bright for an easy life. They were ruined by this Kansas businesa. Yet there are newspapers in Indiana,

and not a. thousand miles from Terre Haute, who are "puffing" and "blowing,'' and assisting in catching more fish.

It is a nice thing for a speculator to go West, purchase a piece of land for a few dollars an acre, lay out a "town," and go to work selling lots. He advertises, and lo! the fish bite. Indiana speculfitora are at present engaged in puffing little Kansas town. It has a popula-

Last year a mt.n was acquitted in ISew Albany who shot and kilted his wife seducer. Public opinion was arrayed upon the side of the outraged husband and father, whose home was destroyed and wbo6e children were made worser tion of about 400, and its large mannthsn motherless. Tiie verdict was re- factories" consists of a brick yard and ceived with cheers and the plaintiff was several other concerns that give emoverwhelmed with congratulation?. In ployment to forty or fifty men. It is not this outburst of sentiment the abstract even a county seat. There is a town of

six or seven thousand inhabitants within a mile or so, and the "boomed" town stands -in about the same relation to the big town as Macksvillc does to Terre Haute. There are Indiaua papers advertising that town as a great place to make investments and if a sharp search is made copies of Terre Haute papers may bs found that have made "dodgers" and "gutter-snipes" of their pages in their efforts to assist these speculators.

The Gazette says: "It (the Gazstte) accepted no money from the Electric Light company when it was being established here, furnishing the city with light." This is intended as a drive at the Express. The Express accepted money from both the Electric Light company and the Gas company. The fight was bitter. Br. Dial and Br. Ellis weie fighting each other, and they wanted to reach the public. They obtained rtes of the Express for advertising, and went in. Each gentleman claimed to be "loaded for bear." but be that as it msy, they had plenty of money. Br. Ellis would fire a 15^.20 cent a line broadside at the Gas company, and the next morning Br. Dial fired a 15©20 cent a line gattling gun at the Electric Light company. They enjoyed it, so did the public and the Exptess. They chose the Express because it had the largest circulation in the city. But the Express, editorially and locally, was out of the fight. It is not a case of advising people to leave Terre Haute. Nobody wHs swindled, in fact, it was a light between two Terre Haute corporations.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Indiana vs. Kansas.

To the Eiiitor of the Express. 8ni: In your article mi Kmsas this morning you are doing a good work in scoring a few people (for I do not think thoir nnmb.v largo) who aro trying to build up Kansas at the expense of this city and stato. As ynu say, their -money ha?, all boon made here and itoertaiuly posee-ses some advantages—sn.-.h as fifty cents per ton coal Kansas' $4.00 to #15.00 par Ion for tho same article.

The President Bald "Damn." Washington Special. From a close friend and collateral kinsman of Mr. Pendleton I learn th:U the president, in a personal communicn tion, (that did not pass through the state department,) requested the Ohio statesman to return for the purpose of consultation. No intimation was conveyed to Mr. Pendleton that any olher position would be tendered him. "In a conversation with the president relating to Mr. Pendleton," said the gentleman to whom I am indebted for this information, "something was said about Mr. Pendleton's violent greenback heresy of fifteen years ago. 'That don't matter now,' was the president's answer 'the greenback question is not now in politics, so it can make no difference.' 'Then, too, the Cincinnati (naming a prominent newspaper ostensibly Democratic in politics,) is against him,' I continued. The president looked ut me steadily for a moment. Then I noticed a dull red flush slowly Spreading all over his face. 'D the Cincinnati said he. 'It was the papaper which gave the first publicity to that villainous lie about me in 1884. I am glad to hear it is opposed to Pendleton. It makes him very much stronger in my estimation.' I never saw a more vehement bitterness exhibited in anyone's countenance than was shown in the President's in this conversation."

Wouien aud Partisaoihlp.

Riohinond Palladium.

The bill introduced by General Grose in the legislature, to place the benevolent institutions of the state under nonpartisan control, goes upon the assumption that women are non-partisans. Therefore, it creates a board of three trustees for each institution, one of which is to be a Democrat, one a Republican, and the other a woman. We approve General Grose's bill, but we are willing to wager dollars to cents that the female member of each board will be the bitterest partisan on it—but then her politics will always be of the right kind.

Nerve.

Crawfordaville Journal. "Nerve was won" is the editorial comment ot the Indianapolis Sentinel on the election of Turpie. The word "nerve" in thh case is synonymous with "fraud," "sculdtiggery," "dollars" and quite a list of other words meaning political chicanery in its broadest sense.

The blandest man to be met with these days is the whilom rheulnatic who has tried Salvation Oil.

HERE AND THERE.

There is room for reform in the numbering of houses in this city. There are a great many instances which could be cited. In the East side there is an example: Fifteenth street at the Chestnut crossing is called Sixteenth and is numbered 1600. At the Liberty avenue cross ing the street is known as Fifteenth and the number is 1500. The numbers East from Fifteenth on Chestnut street and Liberty avenue are at variance aud thereis a great deal of misunderstanding in regard to the cross streets in the extreme eastern part of the city. Iu many instances in the northern part of the city the larger of two numbers is south of the other as if the streets wer. numbered frora north to south instead of the reverse. There is no fault in the system which is in vo«ue in this city,

is supposed to be. Numbering 100 to bio is an easy method and one upon wlii ?h there should be no errors or mis understanding. The above are but a lew ins'ances where confusion results on ac count of numbering. An Express reporter's attention was called to various other localities in the city where numbers are not properl arranged. "I think it would be a good move to have the city renumbered," said a gentleman yesterday. "The numbers would be correct and there would be no confusion. And every hcu?e should be numbered, and in plain figures that can easily be seen."

The suggestions of Superintendent Lawlor, of the police department, have been finally carried out by the board of commissioners. The new fire gong has been placed in headquarters. Instructions have been issued that when a second alarm is turned in from any box the wagon will respond. The wagon will respond to first alarms from the following boxes: Box No. 2, Opera house No. 15, Seventh and Esgle streets No. 16, No. 4 reel house: No. 21, Fifth and Cherry streets No. 23, postoffice No. 25, fire department headquarters No. 29, First and Poplar streets No. 3G, Tenth and Chestnut streets No. 45, car works No. 53, Twelfth and Ohio streets No. 64, First and Ohio streets No. 65, Seventh and Main streets No. 68, Eighth and Walnut streets No. 71, Tenth and Main streets. Ponaps a few more boxfs may be added to the iist at the request of Chief Schell. The object of the patrol wagon in running to fires is for the purpose of keeping the crowd back so that the firemen may not be hampered in their work and with a view of keeping on-lookers out of danger of injury. With this in view, boxes have teen selected where the population is most dense and where an noyance occnrrr. The list of boxes as given above inclndes the business part of the city. The rew ordr of things is greatly to be commended.

The dentists in this city -ijid elsewhere in ibe state are interested in the dental bill pending before the slate legislature. A prominent deutist Slid lii'.s morning that he was of the opinion the bill ill certainly pass. He explained that it is in many respects similiar to the physicians bill which passed recently. The bill provides that those who were practicing at the time of the passage of the old dental bill, in 1879, which is defective, shall be given licenses also those who graduate from a reputable dental college, and those who pass satisfactory examination before a commission pro vided for in the bill. It is made obligatory that all licenses shall be procured from the clerk of the county where the dentist wishes to practice. 'The bill is for our protection," continued tin gentleman, "and will stop all this pulling of teeth on the street corners by traveling doctors, such as Lightall and others." The bill was introduced by Senator Scliloss.

An Express reporter met a prominent member of the Opposition on the street yesterday and engaged him in conversation upon political matters. The gentleman was inclined to believe that Lamb and his friends will urge his reappointment as United States district attorney in case Turpie gets bis seat in the senate. The blue eyed boy is nnwilling, it seems, to consider his defeat as disastrous, but if he is not satisfied the "kickers" will make it more interesting for him. "I don't see why Lamb should be a pensioner at I lie hands of the Democratic party. He has been favored enough in the past, has been defeated, and should he be re appointed care will be taken that he will never be confirmed, and you can depend npoti it that I know what I am talking about."

A gentleman called the attention of a reporter lo the condition of the sidewalks on north Seventh street above Locust. He said that there are in many places practically no walks. The mud in very deep and pedestrians have been compelled to walk in the street, finding it less muddy and much easier. There is no question but that our sidewalks are in a very bad condition and the cry for improvement should be kept up until they are improved. In a city the size of Terre Haute there is no need of allowing the sidewalks to become so wretchedly bad, anil no reason why they should not be fixed up, and immediately.

Indications are good for a healthy improvement in the nail trade. The news that the card late has been advanced ten cents will be received encouragingly. It has some significance that the trade is looming up to some extent. The dullness which has prevailed in the past, few years was perhaps never equaled in the nail trade. It is apparent that a change has occurred for the better. Business has been reviving in the eastern nail centers and although its effect has not yet been felt to any very great extent in the west, it will come in a short time.

The Relief of a "Good Cry." American Homeopothiat. A French physician contends that groaning and crying are two operations by which nature allays anguish, and that those patients who give way to their natural feelings more speedily recover than those who suppose it unworthy to betray such symptoms of feeling. He tells of a man who reduced his pulse from 126 to 60 in the course of a few hours by giving full vent to his emotion. If people are unhappy about anything let them go into their looms and comfort themselves with aloud boo hoo, and they will feel 100 per cent, better afterward.

Terrible to Think of

Crawfordsville Journal. It has been suggested that New York is not defenseless. If a British fleet of ironclads should appear in its front, it could be vanquished with a volley of the biscuits compounded by the young ladies cooking school. No ironclad on earth could stand a minute under such a fusillade.

A Burning LHfgmce.

Colnmbus Republican. There are now 7,000 ex-soldiers in the various poor-houses of the country, and, perhaps, three times that number can

barely keep out. When the nation is sr bountifully able to provide for these men it is a burning disgrace not to do eo. The dependent pension bill was not passed any too, soon and if the president vetoes it, as is intimated, he wilt become the most unpopular man in the country.

VOICE OF THE FARMER.

Prealdtiit Reall, ot tho American Affilcultural and Diiry Association, Make* a Stirring Artilrei*.

NEW YORK, February 10.—At the seseion of tha American Agriculture acd Dairy association, last night, President R*.HH delivered his annual address. He ssid: "The workingmen are your brother?, and demand yonr interest and sympathy. They are resisting, under the leadership of that pure-minded, honest, unselfish, wise man, T. V. Powderly, the tyranny of capital, I have studied the principles and nature of the Knight of Lubor. and they are truth. The men whe would swindle you are the metj. they con tend with. Armour led the tight against the oleomargarine law in the interest of fraud, counterfeiting and robbery of the poof. He fought the last battle with the Knights of Labor in Chicago. We de mai:d fair play and untrammeled markets for the products of our labor. So do the Knights of Labor nothing less, nothing more. Together we may save the country from impeding ruin. They and the firrners comprise a large majority of the people, a id it remains for us but tn act together the good of both and achieve suchresul's within this year as will att inish the world. I have found capital selfish, dishonest, iguor.mt it sucks the life blood of the element upon which it depends for sustenance. In its unsr.rupulousne:B it wiH dtstrcy the foundation of its life and strength Tt is without principle and mercy, and if it cannot corrupt, mnn, it will, if possible, destroy him. It is unfeelin?, unwise, more grasping and* inconsiderate than the grim monster death. Neither tha tariff nor ihe revenue laws should be dteturbed cow, and business should not be continually menaced by threatened changes. Pay off the public debt, pr mote agriculture, encourage America)) shippping, establish schools of art ar.il science, which will take up all the surplus in the treasury."

Mr. Keall was re-elected president. A resolution requesting congress to act. favorably upon the bill creating the department of agriculture snd labor w»« adopted. A tvsoiutiou w:s introduced selling rt:i that Geceral Hatch, of Missouri, was the unauiirion choice the asssociation for the appointment ai secretary if agriculture nnd labor. This provoked some discussion, and it was the sentiment of the convention that such action would be premature. The resolutson was withdrawn. By another resolution the association pledeeu ijself to cooperate with the National Pure Food association in securing the passage of the food adulteration bill at present before congress.

A LIGHT SENTENCE.

Why iMas'ier Got Only On-i Year in t.lift Pen.

CHICAGO, February 10—There -s much speculation R3 to the nature of tii? information which W. J. Gallagher gave to tba Elate ami w'ftieb induced Mr. Grionell to consent to a term-of o.ily one year in tho penitentiary for Mackin's old associate. The common belief among the "fine worker's" friends out side the jail is that he obtained important evidence regarding ihe Rack Island train robbery and murder of Kellog/ Nichols. Gallagher occupied the same cell with Schwartz when the latter was incarcerated for bigamy, and it is said Schwartz confessed the crime to him There is a sensational rumor allost. tliRi Schwartz, who is now in jail at Morris, 111., has made a full confession implicating five orsix others,all railroadmen, in the robbery and murder. Some of these, it is alleged, have already been arrested by Pinkerton detectives and a search for the others is in progress.

General Grant's liittlc .loke. Coney Island Journal. Miss Hulda Ujnd, of Brooklyn, is a autograph collector of more than ordinary pertinacity. The manner in which she r-jenred General Grant's is interesting. The general was at the time sick with the dis:'- se that resulted in his death but. nOll'ing daunted, Miss Bond called at his residence, sent in her care?, aud obtained an interview with the tfeDeral's wife. Miss Bund impressed Mrs Grant so favorably that when she brought on! her album snd ssid, "Ik you think the general wrou!d add his name to my collection?" tho hitter je plied that, she Would eee, and went upstairs. On relnrnine, Mrs. Grant said "I told the general of your pleasant call, and he took the album, aud, glancing over it, read the few lines written by a lit tie boy E years old, as follows: "And'mo too. wish, in your albntu to uppeiir, And do excuse my fanny letters, cousin d«ir For I'm only five years old, and in skirts iii yet, But. when I'm six, my first pants 1 am to get And then I'll be a biu' man I'm sure, And write as uice as I see Groyor Cleveland's signature. U. B. BOND. "And after reading them, he called for a pen and wrote after the boy's signature: 'And U. S. Grant.' The situation was so hnmarous," added Mrs. Grant, that the general burst into laughter for the first lime in weeks."

Wall Paper Representing $2,000.OOO, New Orleans Times-Democrat.

There is a shabby-looking house on College street in Jackson,Tenn., that has for years been occupied by negro tenants. It lias two rooms and only rents for S8 ner month, and yet one of these rooms is, or was until recently, embellished with paper representing real estate now worth more than $2,000,000. The four sides were covered with land grants belonging to one of the volumes of thr land office for West Tennessee that had been missing since the war. Mr. John W. Gates, register of the land office, has carefully gathered up these valuable documents and will soon have them in shape for future, referance and preservation. One leaf represents two grants, 1,000 on one side and 640 acres on the other side, and that, too, for lands in a county where the old records of the county register's office are burned.

Donnelly at Home.

Washington Post. Ignatius Donnelly has knocked of authoring and gone to the legislature of Minnesota. Is he aware of the fact that his proof that Bacon wrote the plays attributed by a careless world to Shakespeare is a good deal more important than getting through a bill for a new highway bridge in Hastings? Before many months Donnelly will be recognized as a very remarkable man, or a* a very insignificant person indeed.

BRUTALITY UNPARALLELED.

A Wife, Jut Become Mother, Bratnlly lteateu and Fatally S»io: by Her Hnsband.

DENVER, Col, February 10.—A Mr and Mrs. Wendelin Moll, a young married couple liviag at the mouth of Left-' hand creek, eight miles from here, to al appearance have been very happy unti1 three weeks ago, when their first bab_' was born, when the husband became verj abusive and quarrelsome. On Mondaj night Moll, without any provocation, •ttruck his wife in the face several times, knocking her down. She did not res?n the a?s»ult, being almost heartbroken bt his brutality. Monday morning th* husband got up early, built afire, cookeo the coffee, aud drank it, and then sit town to smoke. His wife was still ir bed, nursing the b»be, and had fallen iuto a doze, when she wae awakened by the report of a grin. She jumped up, hut fell to the floor unconscious, the ball having entered liei iboulder and vsed into her neck. Mol disappsared. She recovered and climbed into be.l with great difficulty, and sank into a stupor. Wheu she came to agait. her babe was crying, but she, having become paralyzed, was unable to move oi to reach it. The fire went out. Th» babe cried until midnight, when it died The woman was not discovered unti1 Tuesday night, when some of her rela tives called at the house. The woman cannot recover. Officers and a posse of citizens are pursuing the murderer, who. it in thought, has escaped to the monn tains.

How The Paraec Dies.

Macmillan'e Magazine. When the hour of death.is at band the dying Parsee is carried down to the cellar. or the lowest room in the house with what notion I failed to learn. Af terward the body is borne to a great burial tower, there to be exposed to the winds of heaven, the burning sun, the beating rain, and all the host of foul carrion birds. Some rich families have a private tower of their own—a sort of family mausoleum. The public burial towers, ot which there aie five, stand on Nalabur hill, in a garden of flowering shrubs overlooking the sea. Here, amid fragrant bowers of rases and jessamine, stand these lowers of silence, as they are called—ghastly receptacles for the deadThfiy are about.thirty feet high and sixty feet wide. O-i the lop of each is an op'-n grating on which the bodies are laid ir three circles—children in the center, then rhe women, and men at the outer c-dge Iunumerald birds of prey are forfvei hovering, with their s'-arp hungry cries, round th-\se tow em, or waiting for the grateful feast that is never long delayed—a feast which daily averages three Parses, beside*women and children, for it is estim&ted that each day three of these prosperous, intelligent, well-to-do looking merchant? find their last resting place in the voracious mflw.s of these ravenous birds Aud when the birds have done their part, ami wind and sin and rain have all combined to whiten lbs skeleton to :i thing like polished ivorz, gradually the bones separate and fall through the opun grating info a well below tlie tower, whence, it is mid, ihey are ».V:en by a subterranean pissige and cast into the sea, and so the4sp»cs is left cl-Mr for the next comers.

Alive in Her Coffin.

New York Sun. Two months ago William Sperinfogel a stone mason, came to Louisville with hie wife and their two children and moved into a little cottage on Fetter street. On Wednesday night their younger child, a little girl nearly a -jenr old, was taken sick witn convulsions, and on Thursday night to all appearances -V died. A neighbor assisted the mother in preparing lb" body for burial while Speriufogel went to the nearest uodrvtsker's and bought cheap coffin. Yesterday they started in a hack for the St Louis cemetery, snd- when they had nearly reached it a peculiar noise, which was at first thought to be the creaking of the carriage wheels, was noticed.

A moment later it was discovered that the noise came from the little coffin. The father, tearing oft' the lid, found the baby alive. She was carried back to their home in her father's arm?, and now lies seemingly dead with the exception of an occasional moan. Several oliysi cians visited the hotif.e last night, bul made no effort to explain the condition of the child, while it was being prepared for buribl. None believe that it will live, but ali unite in saying that the case is a very peculiar one.
