BLOOD-WEEPING ROSES. A Spookish Tale of Love, Mystery and Crime from Texas. River known as the and about th miles from town, stands a dilapidated old house, the history of which no one knows, but it dates back to the time when this was but a frontier military post With- in a few rods of the deserted house lies a grave, on which not a sprig of | grass grows, although the ground | about it is overrun with vegetation. But at the head a rose-bush until lately spread its untrimmed, uncared- for branches. These branches, sum- mer and winter, were covered with roses of such a burning, vivid red as to even offend by their raw, unshaded color. These roses, on being plucked, fade and fall to pieces almost instan- taneously. I am an enthusiast about roses, devoting much time to the cult- ure of them, and am thoroughly ac- quainted with al) varieties. But the one growing on that nameless grave was unknown to me, and although I have tried again and again to grow it from cut tings. Ihave never succeeded. After planting. the sprig would invariably be found dead the following morning, and blackened with a dull, smooty satin, which was not to be explained by any pecullarity of soilor atmos- pheric influence. But the most singu- lar thing in connection with these flowers was not discovered by me until afew days ago. I had occasion to drive out on the River Road early one morning, and asI passed the grave the unnatural crimson hue of the roses struck me more forcibly than ever. They hung heavy and full, with the dew dripping from their large, curved petals. Fascinated by their strange beauty. I dismounted and took one of them in my hand without plucking it. The moisture shaken from it fell upon my fingers and, to my great wonder, Isaw it was a thick, viscid fluid that resembled fresh blood too much to be pleasant. Involuntarily I carried my hand to my nose and the sickly, fleshy odor of new-drawn blood was unmis- takable. I shook the horrid drops from my hand and saw that they were thickly exuding from all ther dripping heavily to the grave beneath, asif from a fresh, gaping wound. I t is | | | the main stem and the bloodlike sap oozed freely out. Struck deemed only a freak of nature. I cut a good-sized branch from the bush and shook the roses over my handkerchief to catch the crimson dew. The branch withered in my hand in a very few minutes, the sap becoming so foul with an odor of animal corruption as to be unbearable, so I was obliged to throw it aw but I carri the stained handkerchief to Dr. a promi- a fine chemist, and asked him to de- termine the nature of the fluid. I told him all I knew concern the and was, of course, but upon calling for the next morning doctor of try “What made and-bull story about that rose Why, man, you knew it was blood on that handkerchief. My microscope revealed it at once, although there is something about it I can not under- stand in the least—a corruption and yet alife. However. itis only blood, and human blood at that!” Tassured him I had only told kim the truth about the rose-bush on that lonely grave, extraordinary as that truth might seem. On hearing this he hurried me off to the spot. It was still early enough for the dew to yet remain on the grass, and the roses to be heavy with that horrible moisture. Dr. N—— examined it closely, and eame to the same conclusion that I had, that some deed of blood was thus revealed, and that the victim of the deed slept in the grave beneath. This we believed, although both of us had hitherto been scoffers of all belief in supernatural occurrences. We re- turned to town and procured a couple of men to assist us in opening the grave, which we did at once. Judging believed by him, the handkerchief bush? metal, without coffin, and beneath a shallow covering of earth, lay two skeletons. one that of a woman—a young one, Dr. N—— said—and the other that of a few months’ old child. A long, tapering knife, such as a Mexican bravado carries, pierced the temples of the infant, and from its position must have pinned it to the bosom of the mother. No clew was found as to the race, name, or aught else, 30 we reinterred the pitiful re- mains and burned that bleeding bush. —Fort Worth (Tex. )Cor.

Among the incidents connected with a waterspout which burst recently on the Batcombe Hills, in Dorset, Eng., and sent a destructive torrent of water County Chronicle mentions a touching instance of canine affection which oc- curred at a local farm-yard. A collie bitch, with a puppy, was chained toa kennel. When the flood entered the yard the mother seized the puppy in her mouth and lifted it above the water; the chain. however, was not long enough to allow the dog to swim, and, as the water rose, the dog and the puppy were gradually drowned, the | mother trying to the very last to save the life of her offspring. When the | water subsided the puppy was found | | still in the mouth of the dead mother. | —_~ +e —A London physician of eminence | maintains that the most potent cause roses and | took my knife and made an incision in | by what I! nent physician of this city, ilo d is also | roses, | you tell me that cock- | by the absence of remains of wood or | through the valley below, the Dorset i AN AWFUL TORTURE. Some of the Horrors of Killing Criminals by Electricity. “The enforcement of the death pen- alty by means of electric currents would not only be agonizing beyond concep- tion, but would als the extreme.” Th is the deliberate opinion of Myron Law, superintendent of the electrical Brush Electric Company of this city. Mr. Law proceeded to give some in- |: | teresting facts to demonstrate the truth ‘of the conclusion at which he had ar- rived. “Any person,” said he, ‘who is thoroughly acquainted with an elec- tric current could not possibly have any Other idea than this. It is absurd to claim that execution by electricity is less painful than hanging, that it would be instantaneous in its effects, | or that it would do away with any re- pugnant feature of our public execu- tions. “In the first place death by elec- tricity is not painless Hanging. throat-cutting, the guillotine, shoot- ing, burning to death in molten lead or in furnaces are painless executions when compared with that bv elec- tricity. Let me cite a few instances of the pain felt by those who have re- ceived severe electric shocks. Six weeks ago one of my men, named John Smith, cut an electric wire which he thought to be ‘dead.’ This was on Eighth street between Sansom and Walnut. Standing on the ladder, with one hand he grasped the ruptured wire, which fed forty-eight lamps and had a current of 2,200 volts passing through it. With the other hand he held by means of plyers the other end of the wire. Immediately he made the most heartrending screams for help. His hands were riveted fast and his whole body was undergoing most ter- rible contortions. “The electric current of 2,200 volts strength was passing through his body | and pinned him to the spot. Wethrew a rope over his hands and jerked him from his perilous position. Both of his nands were burned terribly, and his whole system was shattered. When he had sufficiently recovered a few days later to be able to talk intel- ligently he said that his sufferings were terrible beyond description. “Another man in our employ once received the full force of a current of {several hundred volts. his hands from the In removing wire one ot his | fingers dropped off, having been burn- ed almost to a crisp by the current. During the accident his face showed in afrightful manner intense pain, and his body was in a constant t or. “Of course, electricity can instan- taneously kill a person, but in that in- finitesimally small space of time of the transition from life to death the person will suffer inconceivable pain. Although the speed of electricity is at | the rate of 5,000 miles per second, the killing can not be so instantane- ous as to preclude all pain. Every particle of the nervous tissue is pol- and pol on ses each e of matter to revolve on its | axis, which means the stretching of the nerves outof all proportion, and consequently the most intense pain. | But the great fault with execution by electricity is that it is almost impossi- ble to ascertain just how strong a cur- rent will kill a man instantaneously and yet not be a barbarous mode of killing. Ifthe current be but a few volts strong stantly execute a certain person the consequences would be terrible. It would disfigure the body beyond rec- ognition, and would disintegrate every | portion of the corpse. “Should the current be just a trifle too weak to execute a person it would throw him into a trance so death-like that it is probable that the body would be buried alive. So, in order to reduce this new mode of execution to a prac- tical scientific working, the amount of resistance in each body would have to be previously tested before any ap- proximate idea could be reached as to how strong a current would surely kill without disfiguring or disintegrating the body, or throwing the subject into atrance. But even if this desideratum is found there might be some hitch or slight fault in the electrical apparatus which would spoil every thing.”"—Phil- adelphia Record. ——__—17 Revival of an Old Trick. “I’m scouring this country for good horses,” said a well-dressed man who drove up to a Bucks County farmer the other day. ‘Have you any to sell?” The farmer brought his best. a big sorrel with a good eye and full of spirit. The stranger knew horses, and, after a deal of parleying, $150 was fixed as the price, and he paid $10 to bind the bar- gain, promising to returnin a week to consummate the purchase. Two or three days afterward another stranger reached the farm. “I want to find a horse to match one in my stables in New York,” he said. A look over the stable caused the stranger to fix upon thesorrel. ‘That's just the horse,” he said. “Another man has bargained for him,” replied the farmer. ‘ll give you $260,” added the visitor. -‘Can’t be done.” ‘‘Well, I'll come back in a day or so, and if you have not sold him I will take him.” Next day the first visitor returned and, after haggling a good deal, con- sented to take $25 for his bargain. The fa-mer is still waiting for the man who wants to match a horse in New York. | —Philadelphia Record. —If all of the Indians in the United | States were congregated in one village | ‘it would not be as large as St Louis Total Indian povulation in United | States. 247,761. i be barbarous in | department of the | r than that required to ine | 5} Electric Bitters.
