    DEATHLIKE T3ANCI&
A Number of Strange rasee of ffun
pended Animation.
FYon t\e London Standard.
There is nothing more repugu-mt to the
ha nan mind than the awfiU possibility of
a living person being eo signed to the tomb.
Nevertheless, such cases have occurred,
and, unhappily, recent proofs are forth
coming that they still occur, despite the fact
•bat in most countries precautions are now
t-ken to prevent premature interments. In
England, as a rule, the bodies of deceased
persons are not buried until signs of decom
position begin to manifest tae.uselves; and
elsewhere it is enacted by law that
interment must not take place until
three or more days after death.
Nearly three-quarters of a century
as > a somewhat gruesome book was pub
lished. The first section of its formidable
title Which is too long for quotation in it*
entirety, runs: “The danger of premature
interment, proved from many remarkable
instances of people who have recovered
after being laid out for dead, and of others
being entombed alive for want of being
properly examined prior to interment.’’
And the author submits the following grim
quotation as a prelude: “To revive
nailed up in ft cofliul To return
to life in darkness, distraction and
despair! The brain can scarce sustain the
refl ctiou in our coolest moments 1” Having
thus, at the outset, put bis readers in a
dreadfully uncomfortable frame of mind,
he proceeds to pile on the agony by recit
ing numerous well-authenticated cases of
i-ersons supposed to be dead ooming to life.
Several of these owed their restoration to
consciousness u> the otfioiousness of irrever
ence of friends, who, persistently declining
to believe they were absolutely dead, forced
liquor down their throats. A chapter is
devoted to the remarknble case of “Sir
Hugl) Acklanu of Devonshire, who, af.er
being laid out as a corpse, was revived by a
bumper of brandy. ”
Of cases on record of bygone time we will
only quote two, by reason of their excep
tional peculiarity. The Hon. Mrs. Godfrey,
sister of the great Duke of Marlborough,
while preparing for chapel on Sunday, fell
down, to all appearances, dead. In spite of
the positive assurances of tne physicians,
who declared her to be irrecoverably dead,
her loving husband. Col. Godfrey,
persisted in believing she was only
in a trance. JSo she lay until the
following Sunday, when exactly at
the same hour as her seizure, just as the
ctiapel bell was once more rmgiug, she
awoke. She was not aware that she had
been in a state of suspended animation for
a week, and the first thing she did was to
scold her attendants for not waking her In
time to go to church, as she had intended to
do. That the restoration of an interred
person to life should have a romantic sequel
and resutl in a cause celehre seams anoma
lous, but such a thing did occur in the olden
time.
Two neighbors living in the rue St.
Houore, Paris, who wero very great friends,
had respectively a son and a daughter. The
young people were very mucn attached,
and would have married had not a wealthy
suitor appeared oa the scene, and, with the
consent of her parents, obtained the hand
of the daughter. The young lady submit
ted, as i reach girls think it is their duty to
do n such circu instances, and she prudently
declined to see her first love any more.
Melancholy, however, brought on a malady
winch so benumbed her faculties that she
was thought to be deal, and was,accordingly,
consigned to the grave. Her former lover,
who could not believe tbat even then she
was lost to him, persuaded tho grave dig
ger to bring the body to his house. There
he used every means to restore animation,
and succeeded. Convinced that now she
b longed to him, she agreed to his proposal
th t they should escape to England. Ten
years afterward they returned to Paris. A
i chance meeting bet ween husband and wife
convinced the former that the latter was
still alive, though he had buried her with
becoming grief. He claimed her for his
own, the claim was resisted, and, despite
every argument to the contrary, the judge
decided in bis favor. Again tue lady and
ter lover Bought happiness in flight, and
t ey lived abroad without further molesta
tion.
Now for some recei t cases: The follow
ing one was reported fro u Nevada. Mo., on
Aug. 24, 1888. While tue remains of twen
ty-three unknown dead bodies were being
removed from Deepwood cemetery in that
town "ihupt. G. W. McCain discovered a
body that was partially petrified and from
its position, evidently had been buried alive.
The body was that of an infant, probably a
year old, and was lyiug on its face with
its legs drawn up, and the bottom of its
teet resting on the coffin lid.” Early in
February, this year, the Philadelphia
Press published a remarkable case, vouched
for by Thomas Hooper, formerlv of tbat
city, but now a resident of New York. It
is that of a lady. the wife of a musician,
who apparently died in Media some years
back. Her body was placed iu a casket and
taken to the church, where funeral services
w ere heid. At the close of a solemn address
the minister said that all who wished might
■ tako a last look at the remains. Among
■those who went forward was a

LITTLa AFRIOA IN KENTUCKY.
The Fate of the Negro Colony Started
by Mat. Bibb Fifty Years Ago.
From the yaehville American.
In the first settlement of Kentucky many
of the original families were wealthy. Most
of them were from Virginia, and in their
veins coursed the best blood of the Anglo-
Saxon race. It has often bee i said of the
letter element of this primitive civilization
that the society of which it formed the
nucleus wa* the best on earth. Tne Ken
tuckians religiously believe this, and, it
mußt he admitted, not without 6ome reason.
A geutiaman of this city, now an aged,
respected aud successful business man,
who spent his youth in Kentucky
“clearin’,” recently said of the old men and
women whom he knew in boyhood that
they represented the highest type of physical
and mental development. “ W hv,’’ sad he,
“the men managed their business affairs
with skill; they were versed in politics and
student! of the principles of government.
They could shoot, hunt, ride horseback,
write poetry and make speeches. The
women were also well educated and physi
cally strong aud beautiful. They under
stood classic literature, and could play
chess with the finest players in the country.”
Nearly all these pioneers were slavehold
ers, but notwithstanding this fact there was
a strong and respected element in favor of
abolition. These men were strong in the
faith of their fathers, and they thought it
was wr:eg to hold property in human be
ings. Again, they were stanch support
ers of the law, and not infrequently found
themselves in perplexing dilemmas. There
are numerous iustances where they freed
their slaves aud sent them to Africa, be
cause, uuder the “new constitution, ’’ it was
illegal to free slaves in Kentucky. There
are instances where, rather than accept
freedom at such a price, the negroes would
remain in bondage.
There was an element in favor of coloni
zation of tho negroes, a staunch and con
sistent supporter of which was Maj. Richard
Bibb. Ho died at Russellville, Ky., in
1839, and my reason for mentioning him
particularly is that he left a monument
that has outlasted him. He was bold
enough to practice the doctrine that he
promulgated. He freed his slaves and pro
vided for their colonization. A portion of
them were sent to Africa, and the rest were
settled on two tracts of land in Logan
county, Kentucky, one about six miles from
Russellville, the other near Homer, a little
country hamiet. The two latter colonies
still exist, and it was to the former and
larger of the two that the writer paid a visit
not long since. He was so much interested
in the colony as throwing some light on a
problem tbat is now being discussed that
he took occasion to hunt up the records in
the county clerk’s office, and among other
papers read Maj. Bibb’s will, under the pro
visions of which the colony was estab
lished.
The will, iu brief, provided that his fifty
two slaves be at bis death sot free. Such as
had wives or husbands belonging to others
than the testator should remain in Ken
tucky, the rest should be sent to Africa.
Five thousand dollars in cash was left to be
expended for the benefit of these slaves.
They were also to have all the crops raised
ou the farms of the deceasodin the year of
his death, together with the cattle, horses
and farming implements ou hand, and all
bis wild lands iu Logan and Grayson coun
ties. Such as were hired out should have
the proceeds of their labor for one year.
One of the slaves, a meohauic, living in
Russellville, was to have his house, lot and
tools.
The property was to remain in the hands
of the executors of the will, to be used for
the benefit of the slaves and to be given to
them absolutely when, in their judgment,
it was best to do so.
Maj. Jack Bibb, ar he was popularly
known, was a son of Maj. Richard Bibb,
and one of the executors under the will.
He died a few years ago at Frankfort,
Ky., at the advanced age of 94 years, and
during his life he saw that the provisions of
the bill were adhered to.
A colony of the sir ves were seDt to Liberia
with their portion of the bequest, and the
others were se tied on the wild lands In
Logan county. Cabins were built for the
latter, farming implements and horses and
cows, and in fact, everything necessary for
the pioneer farmer was furnished them,
and tne taxes as paid for them on their
land for forty years. The taxes were paid
oat of the fund left by their old master as
long as it lasted, and then by Maj. Jack
Bibb till a year or two before his death. In
1873, after'a tutolege of thirty-five years,
Maj. Bibb divided the land and deeded it
in severalty to the freedmen or their de
scendants, though for several years longer
he continued to pay taxes for them.
The African colony was never heard of
but once. A negro preacher, old Cain, as
he was called, who went to Africa as a
missionary very many years ago, visited
Logan county a few years before the war.
He says he understood the colony never did
any good, though be had never seen but one
of its members. That was a woman who
had lapsed back into a state of barbarity.
She wore little or no clothes and had al
most forgotten ter name and how to talk.
But to return to the colony near Russell
ville. It is located on a tract of between
eight and nine hundred acres of land, and
is called Bibb Toad, though it is not a town,
but a country settlement. The original
slaves are, I was informed, all dead, and
most of the little tumble-down cabins are
occupied by their daughters and descend
ants, who have married negro men of differ
ent blood. The tract of land is rolling and
picturesque, covered with the primeval for
est, and furnishes a residence for a popula
tion of probably sevonty-five men, women
and children.
Tho traveler who wanders into this
strange settlement may well imagine, as be
sees the faces of little halt-clad pickaninnies
dodging and biding behind trees and bashes,
that he has landed m somewhere the heart
of Afnca.
Around each little cabin there is a small
truck patch; here and there tie tinkling of
solitary cow bells may be heard, and the
rough weather-beaten coats of a few sor
rowful It oking horses may be seen as the
poor beasts, with yokes upon their necks,
browse among the bushes. Tho grunting
of a few thrifty pigs, that subsist in good
style upon tho abundant ac ims a id succu
lent roots that grow on the borders of the
little limpid brook tha f cut the tract into a
thousand fantastic forms, may be heard in
the undergrowth. A prominent figure is
the snarling, half-starved cur that is found
iu every dom cile.
The skins of th ) inhabitants are as black
as ebony. No Caucasian blood is v sible.
The luxuriant growth of ferns and trail ng
vines and stately timbers give color to the
delusion that the scene is one of the Trans
vaal. The visitor is greeted with a pleosant,
curious smile, and every ques.lon is
answered with politeness.
As to how these people live, I was In
formed that they had never made an fffort
to subdue the forest or to “plant the wilder
ness.” No complaint was made against
them except as to their utter shiftlessness.
The men are noted as expert axmen, but
rather than fell the trees and work for
themselves they prefer to labor for their
whi e neighbors, and, when necessary in
order to procure the necessaries of life, they
will walk from three to seven miles and
work for 50 cents a mile.
I asked an old negro man, who remem
bered when Bibb Town was settled, bow the
mode of life aud progress of the people now
compared with what it was near the
beginning. He said: “AU dem niggers
dat Dlonged to Maj. Bibb kuowed how to

I was told ;hat the other colony near
Ho lier, though smaller, had fared the same
as this.
RACING FOR LIFE.
A Retriever and an Alligator Swim
Tandem Aorosa a River.
From the Xnr York World.
“On a hot, sultry day,” said the colonel,
“and within a few miles of Jacksonville,
on a small tributary to the St. John’s river,
occurred one of the most sensational races
for life and prey that have come under my
notice.
“A party of gentlemen left Jacksonville
last July on a sporting expedition, taking
with them several valuaole well-trained
dogs. The owner of a splendid retriever
shot at and wounded a duck on the nor: hern
bank of the stream, which was about eighty
yards wide. The wounded duck fell
into a jangle on the opposite side and the
dog went after, but could not find it The
dog had only left the further bauk on his
return, when suddedly the snout of an
alligator rose above the water. The sau
rian gave chase, while the goutloman called
the dog.
“The animal seemed to realize hie peril
and yelped while the alligator forged ahead.
The cries of the pa ty were continuous, ani
the dog swim his best. The alligator did
not dip one moment, but kept Lis eyes
fastened upon the form of the dog. Not an
inch seemed to be gained or lost by either.
The race was matchless. The alligator
attempted occasional spurts, making the
water rush by in a snowy foam, and the
dog, evidently equal to the emergency, would
lay his ears back aud speed along with
astonishing swiftness.
“The middle of the stream was reached,
and the distance between pursuer and pur
sued remained the same. The sportsmen
began to fear that the dog would give out
before they oould get an effective shot at
the alligator. Under the circumstances
they oould not fire for fear of killing the
dog; besides, having only duck shot instead
of ball, their chances of inflicting any danij
age upon the reptile were few.
“The dog swain anxiously, excitedly, fix
ing his eyes upon tho group of men and th e
low shore. Only about thirty yards more,
and if all went well the dog would be safe.
The alligator changed his tactics. He
would dip bis snout slightly under the
water, and in a wriggling way would make
astonishing spurts, but he did not seem to
decrease tho distance. After each spurt the
alligator seemed to hose a little ground, but
very little. At fifteen yards from the bank
tho size of the monster could be esti nated.
He was more than three yards in length.
Every atom of energy was exercised by
both. Cries rang out by the men. The ex
citement began to intensify—the alligator
was gaining. The brute did not notice the
anxious spectators on the shore. Suddenly
a report was heard. It was a shot at the
alligator from a fowling-piece. Hedless of
the noise, the contestants in the race kept
on. Only a few feet and the dog would be
a victim!
“In vain did the retriever trv to lengthen
the distance, to no purpose. The alligator
was now gaining inch by inch. The dog
was becoming inspired possibly with too
much fear, for he made seve at piteous
yelping appeals for help. Seven yards
nearer the bauk, seven yards from the
goal of hope aud life for the dog, and
still the race was going on with
grim determination. Every hunter had
his fowling-pieoe ready to discharge
at the alligator as soon as he could
do it safely. The dog touched the sloping,
water-covered bank of Che stream, aud, with
a wild cry of delight from the sportsme i
and a yelp of joy from the dog, he soon was
bounding on the shore. The determination
of the alligator was so great that he
stranded on the bank, but he rested there
only for a moment. Several charges of shot
were poured into him in a volley. He
turned quickly, and, with a spring, lashed
the deeper water and dived into the depths
of the stream.”

It le the Rattlesnake of the Vegetable
Kingdom and Produces Insanity.
From the Kansas City Liar.
The loco weed of the western plains is to
voge.alion what the rattlesnake is to animal
life. The name oomes from the Spanish and
signifies insanity. It is a dusky green and
grows in smail bunches or handfuls and
scatters Itself in a sparse and meager wav
about the conntry. It is in sort a vegetable
nomad and travels about not a little. L -
calitieß where it this season flourishes in
abundance may not see any of it next year,
or indeed for a number of years to come.
The prime property of the loco is
to induoe insanity in men or ani
mals who partake of it. Animals—mules,
horses, sheep and cattle —avoid it naturally
and under ordiuary circumstances never
touch it But in the winter, when an inch
or two of snow has covered the grass, these
green bunches of loco standing clear and
above the snow are tempting oaits to ani
mals who are going about half starved at
the best. Even then it is not common for
them to eat it. S ill, some do and it at once
creates an appetite in the victim similar in
its intense force to the alcohol habit in man
kind. Once started on the downward path
of loco a mule will abandon all other forms
of food and look for it. In a short time its
effects become perfectly apparent. You
will see a locoed mule standing out on the
shadowless plains with nut a living
moving thing in his vicinity. His
head is drooping and bis eyes
half closed. Oa the instant ha will
kick aud thresh out his heels in the most
warlike way. Under the influonca of loco
he sees himself surrounded by multitudes of
threatening ghosts and is repeUing them.
The mind of tho animal is completely gone.
He oannot be driven or worked becaus) of
his utter lack of reason. He will go right
or left or turn around in the harness in
spite of bits or whip, or will fail t > start or
stop, and ull in a vac int, idiotic way devoid
of malice. The victim becomes as thin
physically as mentally, and ufter retrograd

CHiBLs SION’J CHURCH BCHISU.
Parson Dart tn About as Much Trouble
as Parson kill*.
The schism la the Morris Street Baptist
church of Charleston, and the effort on the
part of some of the members to excommuni
cate the pastor, the Rev. J. L. ,art. is ex
citing interest iu Savannah in colored
church circles.
Although Deacon Joiner of the excom
muuicators, and the Hev. Mr. Dart declined
to say anything, the present status is
learned. It teems that f<r some time there
has heeu a spirit of dissatisfacti n brewing
among the members of the c-urau, which
was led o i aud provoked by two deacon* of
the church.
The cause for the disapproval of Mr.
Dart by these two officer- of the church is
not accounted for. One explanation is that
the minister has shown a preference for the
four other deacons of the eiiuivh. Ou
Wednesday night, as was stated in the ,\V u s
and Courier, the “two deacons,” with
about fifty supporters, hold a meeting m the
vestry or the church, although the gas had
been shut off and the doors 1 eked. It is
understood that at this meeting ten or
twelve charges were presented against tho
paster. The chief offeuses seem to be
“abuse of members of the ehuroh,” and
“disrespect to two of the deacons.” The
meeting was without any positive result,
most of the tune being consumed in talk.
So far as can bo ascertained the Dart fac
tion is Stronger than that Ltd l y (Deacons
Joiner and Gordon; which has not yet de
veloped a strength of over 100 members,
although there are about 1,000 in the church.
The deacons have called a meeting of the
mein tiers of the church next week, at which
the trouble is expected to be settled. If
charges are to be entered they will then be
presented and a decision will be reached as
to the proper step to settle the church war.
If the charges are groundless the disaffected
deacons will probably be asked to resign or
fall into ranks with the majority.
TO TELL tfoRTH AND SOUTH,
J O T* • ‘
A Newspaper Man’s Impromptu Com
pass.
Is it true that watches are oompassesi A
newspaper man writes that he expressed a
wish to au acquaintance to kuow which
point was north. He immediately took out
his watch, looked at it and pointed to the
north, explaining in this way; “Point tho
the hour hand to the sun, and the south is
exactly half way betweon the hour and the
figu e XII ou the watch. For instance,
suppose that it is 4 o’clock. Point the hand
indicating four to the sun, and II on the
watoh is exactly south. Suppose that it is
8 o’clock, point tho hand indicating eight to
the sun and the figure X on the watch is
due south.” Mr. Stanley, tne eminent
traveler, says that he never heard of this
simple mode of discovering the points of
compass, but the gentleman of the watoh
says that he is much surprised that the fact
is not generally known.
