NABBOW ESCAPE PBOlf BEING BUBIED
ALIVE.
About five weeks ago Mr. Cecil C.
went boating on Oneida lake with two
companions. They unmoored the boat
and rowed about two miles to an island
where they spent a few' hours, until a
black thunder-cloud warned them that
a violent storm was brewing, and they
speedily set out on their return. They
had nearly reached the main-land
when their little craft was tamed keel
upward by a squall, and the party was
left straggling in the water.
Mr. C. saw his 'two companions
swimming towards the shore, and at
tempted to follow them, but in vain.
A delightful sensation of repose took
possession of him; then all was chaos.
Blank!
He was rescued by his companions,
and on his return to consciousness, he
attempted to open his eyes—to move
his hands—to speak, but found him
self unable to command a muscle.
As he lay in this condition, memory
pictured to him all that had trans
pired up to the moment .when lie be
came insensible. Then he marvelled
whether he was alive or dead. What
meant this hush? this chill? this black
ness of darkness that enveloped liim ?
Where was he? What was he? Would
it be always -thus?
Time passed on, and he felt his
thoughts and his ideas contracting in
to a narrower and narrower sphere, till
nothing, but the one central knowledge
of existence continued to assert itself.
But suddenly a crash, as if all the
Titan thunder-gods had blown their
trumpets-in unison, smote upon his
hearing; a deluge of- light, like the
concentrated rays of a million suns,
burst upon liis vision; there was a sev
ering of soul and sense; and he stood
in spirit beside his violet-strewn coffin
and read the inscription; “Cecil C.,
bom in Baltimore, Md., January 29,
1850: died at Brewertown, N. J., Jan
uary 17, 1872, aged 22 years. ”
Through the the oval glass of the
head of the casket, he could see liis
face frozen into the white rigidity of
death.
His friends and relatives were seated
around the room, and the pastor was
preaching a touching funeral sermon,
interrupted now and then by the sobs
of his listeners. Through the open
window the glory of a bright sunny
day was shiuing in. He saw a latent
beauty in everything he looked upon,
and a latent melody in every sound he
beard—and he realized how crude and
imperfect are are all .our dreams of
happiness in the flesh as compared
with those which the immortals know.
But like a flash of lightning, there
came a loss of identity again—utter
annihilation for an uncertain lapse of
time; and when his spirit again woke
to a sense of his condition it was ten
anting his body once more. His coffin
had been borne to the cemetery, and
he heard the sexton preparing to lower
him to his last resting place in the
dust.
Now, for the first time, a great hor
ror fell upon him. He was to be en
tombed alive—-to be left alone with
the night and the terror, and the grim
company of skeletons mouldering
around him. He would regain con
sciousness when too late;' would;strike
the close walls of his prison, but to no
purpose: call, and there would be no
answer; pray, and the very heavens be
pitiless; shriek, tear his flesh with his
fingers, curse, and raving, die.
Summing up all hio will, he utilized
it in a last effort to break tbe spell that
had seized him, and with success. He
was rescued from his impending doom
ana weeks o| watchful nursing brought
him hack to the full eiijpyment of his
former health.
A FRIGHTFUL DEATH-
From the Bolton (England) Evening News.]
A series of farewell performances
were being given prior to, the menag
erie proceeding to Bury, and an ex
tra performance was announced, and
took place at 1Q.30 o’clock. Attached
to the show was a man named Thos.

He permits nothing wasted; the ma
nure heap is his constant care. He is

farm can be made to pay.
A. New Extebpmse.—One of the
spoke and handle factories in Greens
boro, N. C., makes 40,000 spokes per
month, and works fifty cords of wood
into handles during the same time.—
The products of these factories, two
of which are in operation in Greens

started in Asheville, in tbe same State,
with, every prospect of success.
once entered the lion's den for the
last time. Maccarte was a young
man not more than thirty-four years
old, but he had been associated with
traveling exhibitions of this kind from
a very early period. He had previ
ously lost an arm while performing
with Messrs. Bell and & Myers’ circus
at Liverpool. He had previously
been trained by Messrs. Batty as
Lion tamer, and having joined them
for a short time, he was engaged by.
the late Mr. Monders to succeed Ma-
como. He was a very bold and ad
venturous man, and had frequently
been warned respecting his rashness.
The unfortunate man began his per
formances on Wednesday evening,
when he was hardly in a proper con
dition to do so; and having exhibited
the gorilla and the serpents he enter
ed the lion’s den. At this time it was
calculated, five or six hundred per
sons were present, and the five lions
in the den were put through their
performances with the usual success
and applause. On all general occa
sions heated bars of iron and iron scra
pers are in readiness, but on this fa
tal evening the matter had been neg
lected.
THE FIVE UIONS
were all powerful animals, and the un
fortunate man on entering the cage
noticed that a black maned African li
on, which had only so recently os lost
Monday bitten his hand, appeared
very restive. He consequently fixed
his eyes on it, and this in some degree
diverted liis attention from an Asiatic
lion known by the name of Tyrant,
against whom lie had been cautioned
only that morning to keep carefully
to his instructions. It is necessary
here to note that when performing li
ons are tamed there is a line drawn,
or what is known as “the office” in
technical phraseology, by which the
beasts are taught to regard that line
as a limit beyond which the performer
must not pass, knowing that if he
does the consequences to be expected
are most dangerous. The presump
tion is that this line was overstepped,
and Maccarte, who was attired as a
Roman gladiator, was returning his
falchion t-o its sheath, slipping, he fell
on the floor of the den. Tyrant fas
tened on him, seizing him by the
haunches, and then the African lion
fastened on to his armless shoulder.
Maccarte immediately called on the
keepers for help, and meanwhile to
fire. He then drew the short Roman
blade which formed a part of bis dress
and commenced fighting desperately
with the lion Tyrant, thrusting the
sword into its face mouth and eyes.—
The crowd.
PANIC-STBICKEN
crowded around and effectually pre
vented the approach of men who un
derstood the habits of the animals. The
shouts of the audience, the desperate
•and manful struggling of the fated
man, and the smell of the blood
which was streaming from Maccarte
incited the other animals, and their
savage instinct was awakened. A
third lion—an Abyssinian one—seiz
ed him by the ribs, and then a five
year old lion, and an especial favorite
of the lion tamer, caught bim by the
head literally scalping him, the flesh
hanging down his neck. The treach
erous favorite had no sooner accom
plished this work- T than he returned to
his comer. ~ " ' ~ -
THE DEADLY STBUGGLE
progressed, and Mr. Birchall, who
had from the first bean most active,
placed iron scrapers in the fire to heat
them. Pistols and guns were dis
charged, but they unfortunately, were
only loaded with blank cartridges, and
the blazing gunpowder failed to drive
the animals from their quniiy. Mean
while the irons were heated, an iron
shatter to' separate the animals in the
cage when an opportunity offered,
was in readiness, and Mr. Birchall and
an assistant succeeded in beating off
the animals, the fi th having in this
time scented and tasted the blood
which streamed out of the carriage,
added Ins fangs to those, which hod al
ready played such havoc with the
hnmanformbefore them. The slid
ing "door was poshed in; three of the
—“-i-j being driven away with hot
irons, were .separated, and the one
that had seized Maccarte was -driven
into a comer. The shutter was par
tially opened to drive him among the
. when a fourth infuriated beast
seized him by the boot and dragged
him in again among them. Then
THE FBIGHIFCL WOEX
went on again for a few sickening and
horrifying moments. Hot irons were
ow available, and the brutes being
driven off, the poor and almost pulse
less piece of humanity was drawn out
of the place he was fated never more
to enter. He sustained sufficient sen
sibility to speak to his warmest col
leagues a few faint words, praying
ihem not to take him away to receive
medical aid, as he knew that he-was a
dead man. His anxious friends car
ried him tenderly'to tbe infirmary,
Our cotemporaries at the North are
cyphering up the probable vote in No
vember. Itis observable that even the
Grant papers make out a veiy small
margin between Grant and the Demo
cratic ’nominee. All their figures go
to show that it will be a tight race,
and so far, is anybody’s race. If the
Radical boasters sing so low, it shows
that it is no time for the Democrats to
despond and hack out of the contest.
In all this cyphering no allowance is
made for the tremendous reaction
against Grant since the meeting of
Congress. and the exposure of New
York custom-house frauds, and the
rising storm in favor of- reform.’ Nor
is the stroDg -opposition of anti-Grant
Republicans token into the account.—
TlieiDemocrats have ’not had such a
chance since Mr. Bnclianan’s election.
If they will take the field and fight it
out on a straight line until November,
they can win the day and save the
country.
According to the Washington corres
pondent of the New York Tribnne,
shrewd and sagacions politician and
Congressman, who has himself often
been mentioned in connection with
the Republican nomination fur tbe
Presidency,” has figured up the elec-
toral vote, so that Grant would have a
majority of three. His . list of Grant
States includes Pennsylvania, Arkan
sas, California and- Florida, either of
which is just as likely to go Democrat
ic as Republican. When asked about
New York, he said: “Oh New York
will go Deniocratic, no matter who is
nominated. We haven’t a ghost of a
chance to carry it. Even if the anti-
Grant Republicans ore forced into the
traces, and the Democrats make a fight
with a straight party ticket, the former
would “come out as badly whipped as
Gen. Scott was in 1852. The fight
would not be brisk enongh to be in
teresting.” This Congressman, who
ever he is, says the New York Record,
has evidently been studying the situ
ation in New York pretty closely. New
York was carried-on a false issue last
November. The same thing cannot be
done next full. The Empire. State is
really democratic by at least thirty
thousand majority, and if any of
Grant’s friends count on securing it,
there is some sharp disappointment in
store for them.—Mobile Register.

The next day the minister called at

week’s imports of dry -goods at New
York, at their gold cost, amounted to
§5,635,457, being the largest weekly
.total ever given in the history of this
trade. The long passages of several
steamers, bringing a number of cargoes
together, is one reason of the enor
mous bulk. The largest previous week,
and that a ,solitoiy instance of an ex
cess of five millions, was the third
week in August of last year, when the
total was §5,285,140. To this total
may be added §4,218,999, for general
merchandise, which gives an aggregate
of §9,854,453 at that port.

Newspapers in the Mails.—By
recent decision of the Post Office De
partment, the law regarding sending
newspapers by mail has been more
clearly defined than it has heretofore
stood. No name or memorandum can
be made on a newspaper inside of the
wrapper on which the address is writ
ten. It is barely permissible to mark
an article with pen or pencil. More
than this subjects the paper to letter
postage, and the violator to a fine.—
No printed card,. handbill or adver
tisement, no written notice, letter,
slip of any kind whatsoever most be
folded in the paper. To do aqy of
these things is to violate the law.—
Printed slips posted on the outside or
folded in papers or periodicals, solicit
ing notices, are also violations of the
law*. Senders of transient papers can
send bundles of printed matter by
weight, or transient postage charges,
but must not send any written, matter
in such bandies.. It will save expense
and inconvenience to parties concerned
to beta: this ruling of Ihe department in
mind.

Printing gives the amount paid-for ad-
vertising in - the .different, cities : and
States of the Union in the year .1867.—
From this statement .we learn that in
one year nearly ten millions of dollars
were expended in advertising, and itis
probable that the amount for 1872 will
reach twenty millions. In this, as in
everything else, New York city is far
ahead of all others, and New York
State pays the greater port of the
amount expended in this State; The
tax of 3 per cent, on-advertising re

Insanity in Cbihe.—Judge Nichol
son, of Tennessee, has delivered a very
sensible charge, bearing upon the fa
vorite plea of insanity in murder cases:
‘The law presumes a man to be sane
rthe contrary is proved; the evi
dence. of. the insanity of defendent
must beso clearas satisfactorily to over
turn the presumptions of the law in fa
vor of sanity as itis required to overturn
that in favor of innocence. * *
The proof of insanity, to acquit, should
be as clear as that of murder to con
vict.” These are maxims which,
though perfectly well known in our
criminal jurisprndence, do hot always
receive veiy clear expression or enforce
ment. In'our local courts we have
seen the plea - of insanity poshed to
such ridiculous lengths as to threaten
to disturb the natural relation between
crime and pnmsbment. Au iuteligi-

olson might be repeated with advan

Conley—Military Interference.
It-will be remembered by our readers
that in his first communication to /the
General Assemby, at the beginning of
the session in November last,' Coifley
took occasion to announce to the mem
bers of that body and the people of
Georgia thatlie was opposed to military
interference in the affiiirs. of the State.
The general views expressed in- that
document were of so conservative and
just a nature as to induce a very gen
eral belief that the man was disposed
to be jnst and honest.
We have evidence now which shows
that shortly after his mcso.ige-'fae wrote-
to the Ku-klux Committee, r urgiug
that troops be sent here to protect
the loyal people, and to secure his
claim to the Executive office. This
matter our informant states, was made
the subject op several Cabinet meet
ings, and the true friends of the conn-
tryin Washington were for some time
much alarmed at the Georgia situa
tion. Strange to say, yet the truth
must be told, Ahernuin resisted thus
appeal of Conley for troops.
The prudent just and conservative
course of the Legislature, our inform
ant states, had'great weight in pre
venting Grant from interfermg in our
affairs.—Augusta Chronicle.
As might have been anticipated, the
building of railroads across the Indian
Territory is beginning to cause anxie
ty to the Indians. The Territory be
ing open to these railroad lines, it be
comes at once a vital necessity to their
maintenance that the adjacent coun

class of people than the non-produc
tive unthrifty Indians. The railroad
companies want white settlers ou the
land; the Indians object
Hot Tom and Jessys—A Comical
Dutchman.—“Das Gonoin hill eoomo

man on Saturday night, us he stag
gered into a Union Hill car at Hobo
ken.
“Yaw Fritz.” answered a fellow-
countryman.
“Yeat cakes all the vile, Yacob,”
said Fritz, nearly crushing his friends
toes in his attempt to steady himself.
“Fritz, yon pe tarn heavy to-night.”
“Yass, I bees full of r hot Dom and
Slieriys, Yacob; I vas a fool to drj
Yankee drinks; Dom and Sheny too
mush for Fritz. I must dry and get
some fresh air on the blutform Ya
cob.”
Fritz succeeded in getting the door
open about six inches; a biting wind
blew through the aperture, when au
indignant passenger sprang to his feet
and closed the door with a suddenness
that turned Fritz half around.
“Bees dis car on de outside or in
side?” inqnircd Fritz.
“Yon are all right-, Fritz; sit down
in this corner,” said Yacob.
“Dank yon, Yacob, if I sleeps
when mine llonse coomes along dell
me who I am.”
Transcontinental travel is practical
ly suspended by the blockading ot the
line by snow. No- one who has not
seen the vast high plains which the Pa
cific Railroad traverses can understand
how densely and solidly the snow is
packed on the rails by the fierce winds
which sweep it for miles without en
countering any obstruction. To break
the drift is to drill through the mass
with pick and ci’owbar.i.-JThis block
ade is a disaster to commerce and
travel, bnt it will show the railroad
people how such interruptions may
be shortened and eventually avoided.
The Moscow Gazette says that the
abundant resources of Germany would
enable her- to create within a short
time a’fleet with which the English
fleet aloue could cope, and that this
fleet, joined- to the fortifications-at
Kiel, would reduce the Russian fleet
in the Baltic to complete inaction.—
To prevent this the Gazette advocates
the neutralization of Denmark and
the reunion with that country of
Northern Sleswick with Dnppel and
Alsen, according to article five of the
treaty of Pragne.
