very becoming nnd elgnlllcant manner whHt

sparks of his tcrrlblo furnace.

The fair sex taking advantago of tho early

Utilizing Dead Paupers
Chicago April 16 Various journals here
in discoursing on the methods observed in
burying pauper dead the warden of the
county hospital is made to say that one ChafTe
county undertaker sells 75 per cent of the
bodies to the medical colleges of this and
other cities and tllat his revenue from the
same lias exceeded $6000 annually. It is
also charge-1 by those who have visited the
E otters' field that bodies of dead babies have
een Interred by simply throwing a few
shovelfulls of earth upon them ; and that evi-
dence of this revolting usage is disclosed by
skulls and bones being found in various por-
tions of the field with no earth covering on
them.
Dr. Sterns is the oldest and most sedaet
physician in Grand Rapids. lie was seen
to chase a girl through the streets seize her
by Ihi throat force her into a close carriage
and whirl away with her A scandal perva-
ded the city within a few hours and the doc-
tor helped it along by declining to defend him-
self; but when he came to understand that the
people were beginning to regard him as a ie-
preheniible character he explained that the
girl was a lunatic escaped from her home
and that her abduction was kindly
RUSTICATING.
A Light Ileprcaentatlvo Spends Ills Sab-
bath an the Medina.
'And Grows Sentimental O'er the HeautUs
of the Scenery
A Light representative took a jaunt to the
Medina on Sunday just for a little rusticating
that's all. Fruit and watermelons wild tur-
keys and roasting ears were wanting but the
beautiful spring was bursting forth and here
she was in all her tints and in all her glory.
Grain and cotton are just peeping out of the
ground In the vicinity on the bluffs and so
diminutive do they appear that they hardly
seem worth noticing. To the lover of na-
ture however the roost conspicuous and the
all-absorbing objects are the trees and there
are some magnificent specimens on (he Me-
dina. The true American has a passion for
forest scenery longer sustained and more fully
developed than any other people. Our woods
and rural haunts shaded by trees are dearer
to oar imaginations than the soil itself. And
this affection cannot be called singular for
although flowers delight the eye although
they breathe a perfume over the senses trees
awaken deeper emotions. The untutored In-
dian like the Druid of old stands in awe be-
fore the tree whose wide-spreading branches
have sheltered all his race beyond even the
traditions of their existence. We somehow
bow to a thing hallowed by centuries. Man
instinctively venerates the principle of long-
evity. The "Ancient of Days" is the first
appellation of the Great Spirit of the Universe.
The pecan that flourished years befort our
birth arid will continue long after we
have moldered away calls forth the
feeling with which we regard all things whose
existence is not bounded by our own narrow
limits. In short the love of foliage is in-
vincible in man and no wonder for the music
of the full-pealing organ even the wild voice
of the ocean in its wrath or Its gentler and
more lullinc tones cannot comnare in soul
awaking effect with the wind of the slight
nortner we naa fast aunuay as It sighed and
roared through the trees whose branches
ascending aloft show the sky in checkered
apartments adding to the enchantment ot
sound the beauties of softened and varied
light. The love of the Everlasting comts to
ourhearts with a sweetness and a thrill which
neither all the pomp o( architecture nor the
melody of skillful c irs can awaken in an
equal degree. The luxuriant prodigality of
vegetation its beautiful hues and forms lis
rich and varied perfumes all unite to charm
the senses and the mind and bring us nearer
to the Immortal Love which in hours such as
those spent among the busy haunts of men
only lingers in' us as twilight does on the
darkened brow of a hill. In such moments as
we spent on Sabbath afternoon the finer
chords of our nature are struck and the notes
mingling with our other sensations nourish
them as the dew nourishes the plants of
the field. But the feeling is not
confined to the woods or the rich bottom lands
of the river it is universal. In the little
sickly plants that we see in our citv strolls in
side and outside of windows perhaps a poor
girl confined to the hot streets of the city
whose daily toil or erring life proclaim her
the descendant of Eve we can clearly per-
ceive the inmate longing for Eden a being
in whom neither guilt nor ignorance has
wholly obliterated a sense of the perlection ol
Paradiie. Sentiment of this kind has been
roughly handled by convenience and stern
necessity on the Mediaa. Some of
the largest and finctt trees have
been utilized and only the stumps
remain the dismal. hunprv crv ol
man for dwellings and fuel every stroke of
tiade and barter. A few hours were spent de-
liriously in the prettiest snot in the environs
of the city last Sunday and if any readers of
me uuiit wnose glory 01 romance is not
quite withered If there are some who are
not altogether dull utilitarians add a little to
your pulse-quickening renown by going to
Garza crossing before the old tree3 fall as did
the host of Sennacherib before the breath of
the destroying angel and leave nothing in

He was known ns " Whisky Hill" "Cock-oyed

I could account for for whisky was a " strong

crooked; but tho "Preacher" part I cannot
oxplaln. This party was u llttlo short man.
seemingly shorter than ho was? us his heal sat

as was proved by a rather lauirlinhlo Incident

rowed a mulo and went to town (it railroad

Those who have listened to the beautiful
ballad entitled "Kathleen Mavourneen"
will be sorry to leam that its composer
Frederick Nicholas Crouch is now In Balti-
more.living In abject poverty surrounded by
his faithful wife and five children. A gentle-
man who recently visited him at his residence

he called he found an old man fingering the

There is one line in this ballad which is the
horror of Englishmen because it is one of the
most severe tests ol the proper use of the let-
ter " h." The Iin4 runs thus :
"Tho horn of the hunter Is henrd o'er thohlll."
This is the veritable bridge of asses espe-

for proper use.

is one that entitles him to respect.
