| | The Dea h Watch. Sedalia Democ at. When the body of President Gar- ficid was assigned to its last resting place in the family tomb near Cleve- Gand, the Secretary of War directed Ge. Sherman to station a company | ef soldiers at the open grave for a period of one year, lest flendish ghouls and ravenous tramps might exhume and dispose ot the martyred body. A company was duly assign- ed to this nelancholy duty, and with- in two months thereafter the tact of the lonely guard had entirely dissap- peared from the public mind. But at the expiration of three months one of the soldiers who stood watch by the grave was arrested for drunken- ress, convicted and dismissed from the army. Two weeks later another of the guards was arrested for simi- Rar conduct. and was dismissed, but 2tterwards restored and assigned to duty elsewhere. Last week a third of the death—-watch was pronounced insane, and will be sent to Fort Wayne for treatment. The testimo- ny ef the soldicrs doing duty at the grave is that the excessive melan- choly superinduced by the peculiar nature of the service tendsto unseat the reason, or atleast to so disturb and depress the mind that a soldier will cither have recourse to intoxica- tion, or will become insane. Physi- a ' weakness and forego the experiment It points to a tact, the constant pres- | a plece ot aristocratic bombosh un- worthy the sacrifice of bodily and | mental equilibru:m visited upon the | guards, and we hope the General of | the Army willtake measure to have | the nonsense ended It is_ certainly | | of no benefit to the dead, while it is | of infimte domage to the living. | Therefore let the death watch gease. | Four Cunning Foxes. One morning last week, as I was | crossing lots with n.y hound, T saw | av old red run into a thicket. I put | the dog on his track and con- cealed myself m the thicket, know- ing that a fox will often circle and vick up the old track. Lcou'd hear the sound baying off toward New Gloucester Then it changed and grew mere and more distinct, and I knew the Fox was returning. I must have waited some half an hour when I saw the fox dart into a hol- low log a little distance to my left, but as he went out the other end I remained in my hiding-place, sup- posing it a trick of the fox to put the dog off his track. The dog was puzzled only an instant, and follow- ed the fox on a longer circuit this time, but m the course of an hour I saw it again enter the end of the log How American Girls Kiss.

There is something significant in these practical illustrations of the tear for death that cannot be entirely as- cribed to superstition. When these soldiers began their monotenous ser- vice by the graye, they laughed at their easv task to which they had been assigned ; but ere a month had passed, their entire natures had changed. Then they gradually drift- ed into terrible melancholy, and the cémitnanding officer at last petitioned fer arelief that never came. But why in such a prosaic and practical age, the mere standing in the pres- ence of the unknown and uncared ter dead sheuld produce fatal results wpon a strong mind and_ healthy physique, is to most people inexpli- cable. it is certuinly not physical feir; it cannot be ‘a remembrance of thehobgoblin and Tam O’Shanter tales of youth that effect the brain, and it is surely not a dread of ghost- iyfvisitants, or of aparitions. These only belong to the terrors of a deli- hid myself, hoping for a third return. I was hidden about the same length ef time, when, by the veice of the dog, I knew the fox was returning. A few minutes later I saw the tox enter the. log. Iran up to the open end and seon had it secured. This being done, I awaited the coming up of my dog, which I tred to a sapling, while I went outto getan ax. I }soon got back and opened the log sufhciently to see tour foxes instead of one. ‘*How was that?’ ‘‘It’s plain enough. One tox weuld run until tired, then would enter the log and another would take his place ”’ “But why did not the hound pay three in the log?’ **The trail was too hot, yeu see !’’— Lewiston (Me. ) Journal. When the Years Creep On. Terre Haute Mail. There 1s this consolation for plain girls, they will not suffer the exquis- ite torture of seeing their charms fade a way, one by one, betore the remorse- less approach of time, realizing the hopelessness of wishing tor beauty if they will turn their attention to art the last pound with her, and that | youwill love her with all your heart | into the bargain; and then keep your j promise.
