C A “Living Tomb.” HORRIBLE SEQUEL TO A SALT LAKE FUNERAL. A horrible discovery was made here yesterday upon examining the body of a young man named Win. B. Lack hurst, who was buried in the ceme tery on the 23J of June last On the 20th Lackhurst attended a picnic here, and while there concluded to take a bath. He did so in a running stream near by, remaining in the wa ter some time. He was then in per fect health and appreheuded no iil consequences. After coming out from Ljis bath, Lackhurst went buck to the picnic grounds and getting into a swing, began to amuse himself. All at once, while in the swing, his head dropped, his muscles relaxed, and lie fell heavily to the ground. Ho was picked up and. everv effort made to revive him, but in vain- The insensi ble young man was placed in a car riage and driven home, where restora tive agents were again employed, hut to no purpose. After some hesita tion the physician in attendance an nounced the young man dead, and prepartious were made for his inter ment. The body presented a singular life like appearance—so much so, indeed, that the friends felt uneasy about go ing on with the funeral until more positive evidence that life had wholly gone had been obtained. The funeral was delayed one day, but finally the physicians reaffirmed* their previous conclusion that Lackhurst had died of heart disease; and the body was therefore interred Juue 23d. But one or two friends of the fami ly seemed hauntqd by the recollec tion of that life-like face, and finally these haunting doubts spread through the city aud led to a proposal to ex hume the remains and settle the ques tion forever. Yesterday a number of the friends of Lackhurst repaired to the cemetery and opened the grave. Upon lifting the coffin and removing the lid a horrible and sickening sight met their gaze. The body was turned over on its side. The skin and great pieces of flesh had been torn from the f'aci, the hair pulled out in huge patches from the scalp, the grave clothes aud coffin-lining torn in shreds, and the finger nails worn down to the quick by the frantic ef forts of the man to burst the cere ments of his grave. The sight was the most terrible ever witnessed, and the stonti st-hearted of the party nearly fainted when the lid ot the coffin was removed. An investigation has been demand ed, and will bfo had at once, to see if there is no way of fixing the responsi bility for this horrible blunder and its awful results. —Salt Lake dispatch, 4th inst. to San Francisco Chronicle. is a touching story ot the minister who returned from his east ern visit and found his wife singing iu a saloon. With the tears stream ing down his furrowed cheeks, he begged her to promise‘him then and there, by the memory of their mar riage vows, and in the sight of heaven, that she never would touch another drop of the hellish liquor. And now the poor man wears a wig and two false teeth. jjjgg“Out in Nevada they think Sir Lambton Lorraine, a “perfect brick,” and they are now making a bricu of silver, which they intend sending to him, with an appropriate inscription on it. We suggest that a good in scription would be: “Sir Lambton Lorraine —this is a brick. Your’e another.” jggf-The following is said to be a good remedy for a bone felon. Take common rock salt, such as is used for salting down pork or beef, dry it in an oven, then pound it fine and mix with spirits of turpetine, apply to parts affected, and as it gets dry put on more, and in twenty-four hours you are cured, the felon is dead. “He Was a Brick.” MARK TWAIN'S CHAT WITH AN UNDERTAKER. “Now, that corpse,” said the under taker, patting the folded hands of de ceased approvingly, “was a brick—in every way you took him, he was a brick. He was 65 real accommoda ting, and so modest-like aud simple in his last moments. Friends wanted a metalic burial case; nothing else would do. I couldn’t get it. There warn’t going to be time—anybody could see that. Corpse said never mind; shake him up some kind of a box he could stretch out in comforta ble; he warn’t parlicular ’bout the general style of it. Said he went more on room than style, anyway, in a last final container. Friends wauted a silver door plate on the coffin, signi fying who he was aud where he was from. Now you know a fellow couldn’t roust out such a gayly thiug as that in a country town like this. What did corpse say ? Corpse said, white wash his old canoe, and dob his ad dress and general destination onto it with a bracking brush and a stencil plate, ’long with a verse from some likely hymn or other, and p’int him for the tomb, and mark him C. O. D., and just let him flicker. Ha warn’t distressed any more than you be; on the contrary, just as calm and collect ed as a hearse horse: said he judged that where he was going to be, a body would find it considerable better to at tract attention by a picturesque moral character than a natty burial case with a swell door-plate on it. Splen did man he was. I’d druther do for a corpse like that’ll any I’ve tackled in seven years. There’s some satis faction in bury in’ a man like that. You feel that what you’re doing is ap preciated. Lord bless yoj ! so he’s got planted before he sp’iled he was perfectly sa isfled; said his relations meant well, hut all them preparations was bound to delay the thing more or less, and he didn’t wish to be kept lay in’ arouud. You never see such a clear head as what he had —and so calm aud cool. Just a huuk of brains; that is what he was. Perfectly awful! it was a ripping distance from one end oft hat man’s head to t’other. Often and over again lie’s had brain-fever a raging in one place, and the rest of the pile didn’t know anything about it—didn’t affect it any more than an Injun insurrection in Arizona affects the Atlantic States. Well, the relations, they wanted a lurid funeral, but corpse said he was down ou flurmnary—didn’t want any procession—fid the hearse full ol mourners, and get out a stern line and tow him behind. He was the most down on style of any remains I ever struck. A beautiful simple-miuded ereature—it was just what he was, you can depend on that. He was just set on having things like he wanted them, and he took a solid comfort in laying his little plans. He had me measure him and take a whole laft of directions; then he had the minister stand up behind a large box with a table-cloth over it to represent the coffin, and read his funeral sermon, saying ‘Angcore, Angcore!’ at the good places, and making him scratch out every bit of brag about bim, and al the hifalutin; and then be made them trot out the choir, so as he could help them pick out the tuner for the occasion, and he got them to sing ‘Fop Goes the Weasel,’ because he’d always liked that tune when be was down hearted, and solemn music always made him sad; and when they sung that with tears in their eyes, (because they all loved him,) and his relations grieving around, he just laid there as happy as a bug, and trying to beat lime, and showing all over how much he enjoyed it; and presently he got worked up and excited, and tried to join in, for, mind you, he was proud of his abilities in the singing line; hut the first time he opened his mouth, and was just going to spread himself, his breath took a walk. I never see a man snuffed out so sudden. Ah, it was a great loss—it was a powerful loss to his little one-horse town. Well, well, well, I ain’t got time to be pa lavering along here —got to nail ou a lid, and mosey a long with him; and if you’ll just give me a lilt we’ll skeet him into the hearse and meander along. Relations bound to Lave it so —don’t pay no attention to dying in junctions minute a corpse’s gone; but if I had inv way, if I didn’t respect his last wishes and tow him behind the hearse I'll be cuss’d. I consider that whatever a corpse want done for his support is little enough matter, and a man ain’t got no right to de ceive him or take advantage of him and whatever a corpse trust me to do I’m going to do, you know, even if it’s to stuff him and paint him yaller and keep him for a keepsake—you hear me! ’ He cracked his whip and went lum bering off with his ancient ruin of a $2.50 A YEAR hearse, and I continued my walk with a valuable lesson learned —that a healthy and wholesome cheerfulness is not necessarily impossible to any occupation. The lesson is likely to be lasting, for it will take many months to obliterate the memory of the remarks and circumstances that impressed them. A Son Defends his Mother and is Complimented by the Judge. Every romance has its reality and every reality its romance, as the fol lowing will show: John Horan went to the bar of the Tombs yesterday morning to make a charge of assault and battery against bis son William, a youth aged twenty years. Mr. Ho ran’s head gave proof that he had beeu roughly handled. Both of his eyes were black and his forehead was cut. He told the Judge, with much deliberation, that his son, at whom he looked now aud then with a sort of sardonic grin, ha l beaten him most unmercifully without provocation. William modestly stepped up to the desk and was at first inclined to say nothing, but suddenly a thought struck him, and he said, “If let myself be brought to jail, she will not be safe.” “Who will not be safe ?” asked the Judge. “My mother, said Wil liam,' in a very low tone, as he looked towards his father. He told his story, which ran as follows; “He whips my mother now aud theu when I’m not around, and she never tells me be cause she knows there would be a row in the house. But I hear it from others aud tUen tax her with it, but she always denies it. I would have brought the case to court long ago, but my mother, although, she is poor, is a lady, and would not come here. She prefers to keep her little misfor tunes to herself. This morning moth er, in her meek quiet way, asked this man, her husband, for some mouev to buy soap to wash her clothes with, or for some other purpose. He told her she could not have it; made some taunting remark about her pride in keeping clean. Mother never answers him back, for she knows how cross and rough he is. He said much to tantalize and make her reply; but she would not, and theu his anger got the better of him. He hit mother in the face with his fist v It was the first time hoover dared to do it in my pres ence, and I was determined it should be the last. I told him that a poor, weak woman was no match for him, and suggested that he protect himself, as I intended to give him a right good thrashing. He did try to protect him self, but without success. If I have broken the law I don’t object to be ing punished, provided that man is put where he will not be able to whip my mother till I come hack to take care of her.” The Judge said, “Young man, I am proud to see that you love your moth er aud are anxious to protect her, but your violence to towards your father has beeu of vigorous a character. Try and keep your handß off your father; but,. in auy event, protect your moth er from injury. You may go.” Hints for Home. Tea and coffee should be made as soon as the water boils, or the gas es capes and the flavor is destroyed. Molasses is improved by boiling and should be boiled and set away for cake and other purposes. Cranberries should have water kept ou them and changed every week. Four hot tallow on ink spots; let it remain a few minutes before washing. To give a gloss to shirt-bosoms ajd collars, add a piece of white wax and spermaceti, each about the size of a pea, to a pint of starch, while boiling. Irou until smooth, as friction puts on the gloss. Another; pour boiling water on gumarabic, -and dissolve; put in a bot tle, cork tight. When the starch is boiled add some, and it will give a good gloss. To choose nutmegs, pick them with a pin; if the oil comes out, they am good. There is but one step between the sublime aud the ridiculous. An old lady paused in Lafayette square to fondle a little child. The meeting of age aud infancy in the interchange of congenial sentiment, under a wide spreading beech tree, should not be disturbed, for it is a lovely sight; but a dog got after one of General Bab cock’s deer, that rushing head fore most,regardless of consequence, struck this o'd lady on the New York Herald which she wore, lifting her over the head of the little child and depositing her in the ornamental shrubbery in the middle of the adjoing grass plot* —[ Capital.
