-mith bumirc; the hona- in which he
Sised in Newron fast vr. Mr.
2raham "gives a very satisfactory
aaudirg statement, and may be in
dolent and we hope he is, but he
'ssrtainly gives himself away to grave
suspicion 3 when he attributes his
arrest to political persecution from
democrats.
It is very unfortunate for Mr.
Graham that such suspicions are
. -.oat altogether a surprise and his
charging hid arrest to each causes
weakens his case.
To Be Burled Alive.
Columbus, Ga., Feb., 6. Charles
Brown, a young Atlanta man, has
just gone through the experience cf
sleeping two days while under hyp
notio influence. His next feat is to
remain burled 72 hours.
This will not be the first time that
the you Dg man has been buried alive.
The experiment was tried before
and not Micesaful. - In time
Brown will get to -he a professional
grave- ard inau and an habitual
ihtper, if this aort of thing keeps up
, Brown is to b buried like any
Vither man, but nuh oue exception.
A grave ten feet deep is to be dug,
ani in this , the yonog man is to be
placed. A iwo inc. a tube will lead
down to toe ccffia from above, thus
giving him the necessary air. The
coffiu is to be hu ordinary casket,
and the stowing away of tbe young
man will look very natural indeed.
The interment will take place in
Jacksonville, Fla.

An Unmitigated Misfortune.
The McDuflfie (Ga ,) Journal de
scribes in the following words an
occurrence that will sometimes hap
pen m a print shop :
"Every printer knows that next
to a burn-out, a "pied" form is the
most unmitigated misfortune that
can possibly befall a printing office.
After we had made ready to print
our paper last week, in placing the
fofmson the pres3, the aggravating
type suddenly dropped into dhoas
and mixed themselves up in about
one bushel of the most disgusting
"pie" that ever demoralized a virtu
ous and innocent printerv. The
contemptible little metal fiends act
ed like they were drunk or crazy.
The long primer jumped in among
the bourgeois, the nonpareil swung
corners with the brevier, and the
head letter crawled , over into the
disgusting wreck of advertisements.
The quads and spaces turned th3m
selves loose in a wild, Idiotic epree,
and sneaked and pranced in and
through the whole mournful, sick
ening mess. Even the usually-sober
and sedate column rules acted in a
most hateful and indecent manner.
They stood on their heads, and
grinned and snickered and wayed
defiance over the scene of the disas
