TERRE HAUTE, FEB. 10, 1877.

DO WE BURY THE LIVINQ A story is goinj? the rounds of the papers, to the effect that a few days ago an Eastern man died in California, and that his remains, inclosed in an air-tight case, were shipped to his friends. It is further stated the expressman of the car which the body was tracsported declared that he had beard sounds within the ceffin. The story continues that an examination of the casa was made in this city, and that there was proof that the supposed corpse had come

back

to life,

and, after terrible struggles, had died of suffocation. The story is a horrible one and probably tra*». It is ea»y to see bow tlio friends of the deceased, or strangers, parhaps, wasted no time in preparing for the transportation of the corpse to tho East after life bad, presumably, left his body. The delay bo tween tke last breath of the miserable sufferer and his encasement in air-tight receptacle may not have exceeded eight or ten hours. Probably no stringent medical test was made as to whether life was extinct. There was no waiting for indications of decay, no chance given tho man to show whether he were dead or alive. Ho happened, unfortunately, to bo alive, and so suffered the agony of suffocation, while a stupid expressman heard his groans and stolidly permitted him to dio.

It is lair to presume that many similar

cases

of premature.burial or enconfiinment occur and are suppreased from public Knowledge for the same reasons which produced the lamentable result above referred to would be likely to exist in othor cases of a similar charrcter, where undue haste is shown indisposing of the bodies of those whoso burial is to occur in a distant place. If the body, Upon its arrival at its destination, shows any sign of having bee a placed in the coffin before death, the knowledgo is merclfullv suppressed from tho friends of the deceased, if possible, from the world in general, to a certainty. It can never bo known how many are buried alive in this country. That is the awful knowledgo belonging to the grave and the grave seldom, though sometimes, tells its story of a resisting victim. A week or two ago an alleged corpse in Indiana, on its way to its own funeral, Bucceasfjlly rebelled agairst the horrid imprisonment of tho coffin and was rescued, though it cost a sister her sanity. Stray cases of suspended animation, where doubt of doafh originates in timo to bo prevented, are continually reported and have tho influence upon the public to a certain extent of pre vontlng undue hasto in burials. But tho susponso and and dread which afflict peoplo who anticipate tho possibility of being put under ground whilo alive are not removed oven by the promise of the application of unquestionable tests, for there always remains the chance that circumstances may prevent the application of those tests.

To lossen apprehension are quoted by physicians the results of the system prevailing in Giormany, we believe, as to keeping bodies so that premature burials are impossible. It is stated t,tmt in many places whore tho system is in farce no resuscitation has taken place. But this proves nothing for in tho old countries the body is not buried with hasto, and the proof of final dissolution is almost invariably required before burial takes place. What other countries may do cannot relate the prools that in America wo do things differently and, with a frequency becoming too alarming, bury paople or got them ready for burial before they are dead. Better that there should bo delay better that sovero and uplsasant tests for life or death bo made: better even that tho law should decide the appalling doubt than that one poor creaturo should be buriod alive. Tho narrow escapes from such fates, nbout which wo read, should teach caution, olse our fears are aroused in vain and some will be forced to suffer in reality what eacnono dreads through life. If common sense and universal legislation can accomplish tho rosult, let thorn bo employed and save tho narration of such stories as we have named.

CHANCES OF LONGEVITY. Up to the tenth year the chances are decidedly against tho hope of one's family growing up to be an ornament to society. If the tenth year is successfully passed then the chances are vory good that the boy or girl will live to be fifteen, at lesst. Twenty is also a dangerous period, aud the next comes In the neighborhood of thirty-live, when constitutional changes set in hair aad teeth bogin to bid us adieu a tendency to sul cido develops, fostered by the non-reali-zation of the dreams with which ono embarked in lifo. Disappointment and discouragement also take tho form ef intemperance. If a man Jmanages to weather the next fifteen years, however, in good constitutional shape, hischasces for living until 70 are very good, and after ho turns his seventy-fifth year he

his blowing some indoor mechanical pursuit. These, in brief, are tho deductions from Dr. Farr's elaliorato tables on life averages.

SAYS Grace Greenwood: "The great presidential Mock' has, like many other momentous and solemn things, Its ludicrous side for me. It reminds me of a story I once read of two sagacious mules thaC laden with treasure, and followed by their drivers and escort, once met on a narrow pass in tho Andes—a mere ledge on the edge of a precipice *a thousand fathoms down.' There was not room for either to turn—they stood stock still aud faoed each other and the situation. Drivers and escort stood still, not daring to move, or stop, or vociferate. Bets were off. The animals looked up tho mountain on one ^ide, and down the precipice on the other—they raised and depressed their ears, sniffed at each other and meditated. Presently they lifted up their voices and brayed, after which pronuneiamcntoes they stood their ground little longer, and then, ono carefully tucked up Ills legs under him, wont down in his tracks, lying lew and taking up as little space oa the perilous highway as possible. Immediately the other picked his way over him. followed bv his party, and the'lock' was ended. It w«ms to me that the question of the hour Is which mule shall lie down."

WITHOUT A SOUL.

A EM A RKABLE EXPERJ A FRENCH PHYSICIAN RES USCIA TES A DEAD BOD Y. to •ible

The Dead Body Vitalised und Made Breathe, Move and Talk— The Hon Ending.

[rrom tne New York Mercury.] Mon*. le Do"teur Bussy d'Alembert, a noted French surgeon ami physician, has long held that life might be prolonged indefinitely in some cla-ses of patients such, for "instance, as those who have suffered no fatal lesions, but who are perishing from afsemla or the degeneration and non-production of proper blood corpuscles. Until tho 9th day of last November he found no one willing to accept as true his seemingly visionary theory, but having secured a suitable patient for experimental purposes in the person of M. Nathan Isaacs, a near reiative, by the way, of Baron Rothschild, he immediately proceeded to demonstrate the trutu or bis hitherto unsubstantial assertions. Mr. Isaacs was dyine of an anicmic disorder, and having beard of Dr. d'Alembert's theory, be sent for him on the date above mentioned. having discharged bis family physician, and placed himself wholly undei the care of Dr. d'A. Up«n his arrival Dr d'Alembert found his patient at the point of death, and the more atrongjy to demonstrate the tenability of his be lief, he dotermiuod to allow

MB. ISAACS TO EXPIRE

(the

before trying his experiments. No sti mulants being exhibited, Mr. Isaacs quietly

breathed

his last on the morning of

Nov. 11 at 4:30 o'clock. Dr. d'A-' slept in the house, having been informed of this fact oy one of the nurses, immediately had tho body placed in the box (constructed with double walls packed with charcoal) and entirely covered with pounded ice, and then had it removed to his office, whore, in the presence of Drs. Dupuy, Dien, Ettieune, and Record

two latter members of the Acade

of Science), had the body removed from the box, wiped thoroughly dry and placed on a table, the top of which was formed of a plate of glass two inches in thickness. The Paris Revue Medicate describes the results of the experiment as follows: Two assistants then began with dry friction to shampoo the entire surface of the body. This being thoroughly done, the doctor made an incisioA, reaching to the spine at the first vertebra, and buried there a smooth copper plate attached to one wire of an electric battery. The incision was neatly sewed up to hold the plate in place, and the cicatrix covered with collodion or other tincture of gun cotton. Another copper plate connecting with the same pole of the battery was

BURIED AT THE BASE OF THE SKULL, and still a third, of zinc, connected with tho opposite pole of the battery, was "buried in similar manner at tho base of the sternum. Everything being in readiness, an almost imperceptible stream of electricity was turned on, and so gradually increased that it was fully an hour beiore any twitching of tho muscles could b:discovered. At intervals of five minutes the tongue was moistened witu an elixir composed of cognac brandy of 180 per cent, proof, which had been rectified six times through filters of sand, charcoal, and felt. The tongue and fauces wero moistened with lime juice and water to prevent excoriation of them by the strength of the liquor. At tho end of an hour, as above stated, a slight tremor of the muscles becamo discernible and at the end of the second hour very minute globules of perspira

could be seen with the magnifying glass upon the glands of the throat, axillto and groins. At this point artificial respiration was begun and kept up. Toward the closing of the third hour the flesh had a moist feeling, the entire surface of the body being covered with a light perspiration. From this stage we deem it best to copy verbatim the diary of Dr. d'Alembert:

Fourth Hour—Breathing being established. artificial respiration was discontinued. Time between exhalation and inhalation of the breath,twenty seconds, though growing more natural.

Fifth Hour—Slight pulse breathing ail right on forcing open the oyes, pupils found very much dilated eyes not glassy.

Sixth Hour—Left in charge of attendants while physicians were at dinner, no reliable' notice of progress taken.

Seventh Hour—Still improving pulse regular, though very weak eyes open and shut of themselves.

Eighth Hour—Stimulation with brandy discontinued, strong egg-nogg of goat's milk being substituted steady progression.

Ninth Hour—A muttered attempt at speech. Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Hours —No change except that-in the last half of the twelfth hour, immediately before a light slumber, the patient called for "wife and Etta" (his child.)

Thirteenth and Fourteenth HoursSound slumber, from which the patient awoke refreshed, and began a conver satlon in a weak tone. Perfectly rational.

The battery was kept attached to Mr. Isaacs and the stimulants continued, though at longer intervals and in larger qantities. The most singular part of this truly strange story is the fact, although Mr. Isaacs recovered his intellect with the renewal of his life, yet bis MORAL FACULTIES WERE ENTIRELY DOR

MAST.

When his wife and child wore brought to him he evinced 110 emotion whatever, and while his memory recalled every incident of his former life—and all of his acquaintances say that his conversationsaud ideas were more brilliant than ever before—yet it was impossible to call up any association that was aught save indifferent to him. When informed of his mother's death, though be bad been the most devoted of sons, he merely remarked, "Well, she was old enough, heaven knows." Though formerly very devout In his observance of religion, he had become most blasphe mous. He would not tell the truth if possible to lie, and seemed to take a most Intense delight to steal and secrete about his person auy object even of the most trivial value, lie made frequent attempts to rob the doctor of his watch while pending over him to administer stimulants, etc. Dr. Reynault St. Pierre, the highest Parisian authority on insanity and matters relating to the psychology and physiology of the brain, being called in, said that he could account for his condition only by supposing that while his intellect had been resumed along with his aew life, his soul bad fled forever. He argues that were this a caao only of insanity the brain would not have increased In brilliancy, nor would the memory have continued so perfect.

Hie blasphemies and obscene conduct and conversation of Mr. Isaac having become too horrible, it was determined to discontinue the stimulus and disconnect the battery. This being done, the fetal sign of hiccoughing began, and in thirty minutes the animal heat, and all signs of lifo bad disappeared, and death had resumed his sway. Immediately on

bis dissolution the eyes sank, tho skin shriveled, A HIDEOUS STENCH pervaded tho whole apartment, and the corpse had all the appearance of having been dead for weeks. Thus ended one of tho most remarkable experiments on record. ...

Dr. d'Alembert sava that prior to this exporiment he has made several similar ones on the bodies of cats and dogs, starved to death for the purppse ol[ experimenting. I

KILLED BY A KNIFE TH RO Wh R. [From the Rocky Mountain News.] Julia Bsrnard, a passable vocalist, clever danseuse. and a very pretty girl, met with a tragic death in Helena, Montana, the other day. She was standing against tho board while an actor was showing his dexterity in hedging her in bv hurling knives into the board. Six knives had been stuck beneath each arm, just above the shoulder, at each side of the head. The aim of the thrower was too low. The knife penetrated the brain, and the girl sank down to die on the stage. The actor is under arrest. ________——

TITE fact that the number of persons

lost at

Ashtabula is not, and can nev6r

be, accurately known, recalls the fact that the sani8 was true of the Angola disaster, on the same road, nine years ago, and has been true of others, also. Doubtless, there are anxious watchers, td-dav, who can never know whether the disappearance of some missing ore was through that Ashtabula gateway of death, or, even moro horrible suspicion, bv voluntary abandonment or yet some other doom. Is there no way whereby this uncertainty can be avoided in future? Steamers, by rivers and ocean, keep lists of names and residences of passengers, and leave

Nasby steps forward now with his plan for the settlement of the presidential dispute. Nothing but its late appearance could have prevented its adoption.

Is there no way to make a record of all who "tempt the rail?" Or is life too short or of too little value to devote to such a purpose the minute or two of each pJRssenger's time which it would require!.

ANOTHER CASE OF ACTRESSMARR YING. There is another actress, now upon the stage, but living in comparative retirement, whose marriage with the scion of a New Y«rk aristocrat has turned the latter's family against him. Five years ago she was the pet of numerous audienc?s, and none who tripped upon the stage received more sincere applause than this actress. She attracted the attention of a young man who lives .011 Fifth avenue, ani whose heirship to a million was undisputed. Ho sought her acquaintance, and in various ways convinced her that his intentions were honorable. Being connected with a hightoned family of an interior city herself, she was flattered by hi3 attentions, and gave herself up to him exclusively. Upon a promise to marry, she left the stage qutetly, and bade tho boards goodbye. They were married in the presence of a half-dozen friends, and immediately went to Europe. Not until then did she discover that he had, by this act, alienated his friends and relatives from both, and it was only by using her own savings that they were enabled to return to this country in comfort. All efforts of joint friends to effect a reconciliation failed, but the young husband's mother kindly gave him two thousand dollars, *vith which he made a start in business, and-has since done moderately well. Tho couple are living in New York, and atteud the same church as tho husband's family. They are independent enough, live comfortably, and, while regretting the alienation, aro not disturbed by it. An exemplary life has won for this woman hosts of'friends, and she is a real helpmate to a worthy man.

A MINISTERS MISTAKE. Some clerical blunders are at once pardonable and amusing, but others at times are hard to endure. A parishioner who never went through a summer without complaining bitterly of the beat, much to the annoyance of his friends, at last took sick and died. His pastor was absent at the time and did not hear of the sad event. On bis return he met the son of the deceased, and unwittingly Inquired, saying, "Well, my friend, how does your father bear the beat now?" Imagine his surprise at being told that the lather bad been dead two months, and his bewilderment when the hope was expressed that the plaee to which he had gone was not noted for the height of Its temperature.

The darkest day in "any man's career is that wherein he fi^t fancies there is an easier way of gaining a dollar than by squarely earning it.—[Horace Greeley.

As birds sing oftener on lowly roofs than palaco domes, and roses love best to climb o'er lowly window sills and cottage eaves, so to the poor God's blessiugsxjome,freighted with dearest wealth, and to the humble heart his 2oye is sweetest. ,u

Alas! it is not till time with reckless hands has torn out half the leaves from the book of human life that man begins to see that the leaves which remain are few in number, and to remember, faint ly at first and then more clearly, that upon the early pages of that book was written a story which he would fain read over again.—[Longfellow.

Languages are to be learnt only by reading and talking, and not by scraps of authors got by heart, which, when a

For what can be more ridiculous than to mix the rich and handsome thoughts and sayings of others with a deal of poor stuff of his own, which is thereby more exposed, and has'no other grace in it, nor will otherwise recommend tho speaker than a threadbare russet coat would, that vas set off with large patches of scarlet and glittering brocade?-[Locke.

POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.

A man should not appear in shirt sleeves before ladies in the house. Always take the last piece of anything. There is supposed to ba moro.

An engagement of marriage in little less sacred tban a marriage with ceremony.

Never pull out your watch in company, unless you are very familiar with the people.

If you meet a gentleman friend with a strange lady on his arm, raise your hat to both.

Do not talk much during a musical or theatrical performance. It disturbs your neighbors, who did not pay to hear your voice.

MR. NASB Y'S PLAN. [Toledo Blade.]

husband will never permit his parents to impose upon bis wife. He has no right to bring their law or their ways into the houso.

If you are with a lady and a gentleman doffs his hat to her, doff you is, even though he be an entire stranger or ,m onemy to you, provided the lady bowed to him first.

It is handiest to walk with a lady on your left arm. Youthen have the free use of your right art'... Sometimes, in a crowded street, you may walk witn yourself towards the crowd so as to prevent the lady being jostled.

If you meet your enemy in company where you aro'supposed 10 mingle you will give him a cool formal bow. Afterward you need not recognize him. If there is general conversation you will reply to him as to the others.

It is not necessary for the clergyman to kiss the bride. The custom grows out of an old French feudal law, vtherein the bishop was supposed to have any right with tho bride that he choso for one twenty-four hours alter tho mairiage.

When you enter a house for an entertainment, advance to the hostess and salute her. It is not nece-isary to shake hands all round in fact, that is vulgar. Bow, and sit down. Do not make a fuss about the seat you take. Make as little "time" as possible when you leave but always speak to the hostess about it.

A GENTLEMAN had aboard put up on apart of his land on which was written "I will give this field to anyone who is really contented." And when an applicant came, ho asked: "Are you contented?" The general answer was:

I am." "Then what do you want with mv field?" Tf-. 1 —We can recommend our readers to use Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup in all cases of Cowgh, Colds, etc. It only costs 25 cents a bottle, and is warranted to cure.
