"Yes" said William Hill Moore ,
Kettliny liitusi'lf Lack with his snowy-
linired lioad against the cushion of an
easy chair and crossing his lei's , now
Boinowlmt attenuated with ago , "yes , "
said ho. I holieyo 1 am the oldest liy-
iiiif iituiertakcr. 1'vo boon nctivu in
the business i-ver fifty years. I be an
in an alley , but 1 was not above my
business , and 1 ave my whole time
to it , and , of course , the business
urow , and 1 made hits of money.
There are a hundred undertakers who
have started since , but I wns the first
< uie to keep ready made collins on
hand in Philadelphia and supply
funerals us a business , and , so far aa
I know , it had not boon done any
where else at that time. That was in
I8l' ( > . 1 learned the business dm in- ;
the cholera of J81D-20 with a man
who buried the dead for the prisons
and coroners and that like , and there's
no telling the many a nno in those
days that wont in the ditch who'd
never died at all. "
"Why , William , " said a little , thin ,
nervous lady in the room , "yon don't
mean they were buried alive ? I'gh !
It makes my llesh creep.
"Yes , Martha , that's it exactly.
No tolling Jhow many. A good old
Quaker friend of mine I buried him
afterward ; ho had everything very
plain , I remember , and no handles on
the collin said to mo once ; 'William , '
said he , 'is thco sure that all thco
buried with the cholera were dead
when thco put them in the "round1 ?
Said I : ' 1 never thought whether
they wore dead or not ; I just buried
them as fast as I could. ' "
"Well , I never forgot the remark- .
When 1 lixcd up a place for myself on
Fifth street ] forget the builder's
name now , but I buried all his family ,
and a large family it was , too ] had
two rooms where J used to do embalm-
in ; ? and keep bodies until some one
would come to pay for them , but 1
made up my mind that I'd never
bury any of these or anybody else
until 1 was sure they weren't alive.
Hut it's easy to tell. With such as
die from apoplexy and sudden like
that it actually seems'1 and hero the
jolly old undertaker laughed a broad ,
hearty laugh "it actually seems
they'd decomposed before they died.
Ila ! hal luIts ! remarkable how plain
the signs of decomposition become to
the practiced eyo. Why , Sir , I can
tell a dead body as ciiick [ aa that"
and no snapped hi long lingers in
front of his shrewd 1'ray eyes "but
ue always put off moving the body as
Ion ; , ' as the relatives like , unless it
yets very bad , and then we does our
duty and moves them oil' . They
always like , you know , to have their
little cries , and we lets them have
their way. John Swift , who was the
mayor that time -wo buried him in a
double collin , I remember - didn't like
the idea of my keeping the bodies a
month at n time , but 1 didn't mind it
the latest , and 1 soon showed him
there was nodanger. Why , Sir , the
the dead are no more to us than the
sheets of paper you write on. We
never think any more what a person
dies of than you do of asking the people
ple you meet in the street what dis
ease they have. I've been all through
cholera , small-pox , and yellow fever ,
and never had so much as a sick stem
ach. Most contagious diseases are
caught through fear , but a great deal
depends on the way a man lives. No
undertaker can touch liquor if lie
wants to keep free from disease. Jlo
has to be strictly temperate , lie haste
to be very careful what ho eats , too.
7t.s my experience that if a man is
careful what he cats ami drinks and
keeps his stomach in older he need
not bo afraid of any contagious dis
ease. 1 had a friend buried him ,
ton , by the way who lived to bo DO
just by eating as little as possible. "
The gaunt , strange-looking old man
at this point let his eyes relax some
what from their usual dim , vacant
gax.o , and , in response to a motion ,
put the large speaking-trumpet which
ho balanced on the linger to his ear.
All ho had said up to this point was
suggested by a single ijuestion hhout-
ed into the car-trumpet , it now became -
came necessary to start him on anoth
er train of reminiscences.
'Yon buried ( Jen. Patten-son , did
you noU" ho wai asked.
"Yes , but I was scarcely able to get
there , " ho replied. "I've been very
faick , but I'm not unite ready for the
undertakers yet. I'p to a verv little
while ago wo buried all the Judires and
Commodorc and ( ieneralH , and almost
all the great people , it seems to me ,
but Lincoln wo didn't get him. "
The undertaker was unable to re
press a heavy sigh at the thought of
missing the melancholy pleasuru of
laying away his truly great man.
"There were the obsequies or Xaclmry
Taylor , " ho resumed ; "tho hoarse cost
S.'i.OOO. There wore eight gray hort.es ,
with black covers , trimmed with
white , and the men who walked as
leaders were long white bands on
their hats and white gloves. It was a
grand sight. There was a ninglo tassel
that costs 15. Then 1 had the obse
quies of Jlushrod Washington , and
Chief Justice Marshall , and ( idnoral
William Henry Harrison , and John
Quincy Adams. You may bo sure
thuy were the best that could bo had.
\ \ hen the body of 1 ioury Clay passed
through the city in 1852 there was a
funeral procession , and 1 had that
too , but it was not so much of an
jillair. Dr. Kane , the Arctic explorer ,
1 buried , and Judge Kane and his
wife , T buried them too. 'Old Iron-
bidus' Cuininodoro Stewart , you
know -we put him in Woodlands , and
then , besides , there was Commodore -
modoro JUinbridgo , lloruco liin-
ney , ( Jommodoio Elliott , John Price
Wothoiill , Commodore Hull , Judge
Thompion , and President Kdgar
Thomson , of the Pennsylvania rail
road 1 buried them all. Wo _ re
moved Commodore Porter to Wood-
landa , and there was Oun. Morcer'a
funeral , too. Wo were highly com
plimented for the way we buiiwlhim.
All , wiy nreitiory is gatling | * oor nd 1
can't think of them nil. Funerals
are very different to what they used
to be. Matters are simplified in the
burial , but funerals are more numer
ously attended nnd more expensive
It costft about S-U10 to bury n man of
any consequence now. I'ho use of
ice is comparatively new , and they
never used to line collins with satin.
1 think Dr. Uedell set the style lie
was buried in his robes , and the casket
kot was lined with satin. 1 don't
know where they got the idea from
but after that every one who conh
allbrd it wanted satin. Wo got a
great many orders in advance fron
people about the way they want to be
buried. 1 have known persons tc
como in and look at the dill'ertml
styles of Collins and pick out the kiml
they wanted years before they died.
Wo have had the full directions for
the funeral on the books in their own
handwriting. There ia a very wealthy
gentleman and his sister who have
given us ordcis for their ooflins ami
funerals. ' 1 would like the casket
lined with white flannel , ' the lady
said in tin * last letter , 'like that one
you furnished Mrs. , which was
chaste and t'logant ; only 1 would like
six handles , and , besides the plate , a
little silver cross on the lid. lint bo
sure and let me lay in the room until
yon know I am decomposed , for I'm
awfully afraid of being buried alive. '
I'p to0 or ISO yeaiH ago there were
no carriages. The burial places were
not far if way , and people walked , the
eotlin being carried on the shonldui's
or on a bier. 1 have often carried
little babies in collins undpr my arm
myself. The great cemeteries had not
grownup then. Kli K. Price and
myself are about the only ones re
maining of the starters of Woodlands
cemetery. Judge Mallory , who was
was interested in it at first 1 buried
him afterwards persuaded mo to go
into it. There are some ten thousand
buried in it now , and I think I have
had something to do with its success.
The number 1 havj buried is some
thing incredible. For many years it
averaged 100 a month. Mr. Kellogg ,
my partner , who has kept track of it ,
says we have buried over oO,000 in
the 50 years.
"Now , my son , whatever you say ,
be careful and don't wound anybody's
feelings. 1 have always tried to make
it pleasant for the mourners. When
Mayor Stokloy's father , who I after
wards buried , lost a little boy and
was speaking of Mrs. Stokley's dis
tress , I recommended the adoption of
a little one of the same age , belong
ing to Mrs. Ward , whom 1 buried , too ,
and sure enough they did , and ho
grew up beside Mayor Stokley and
distinguished himself in Mexico until
I buried him some years ago ? Yon
know a great many commit suicide
that nobody knows anything about
but the doctor and the undertaker.
Many a one T'vo buried no one knows
but mo to this day they had the rope
around the necks. 1 always used to
carry a crooked needle to sow up
gashes in throats. 1 found it handy
to have around. One day a lady
very rich and elegant she was , and
had an A 1 coflin when eho died
showed me her husband who had just
cut his throat and said : 'Oh , what
shall 1 do ( ' 'Do ? ' said I , as 1 com
menced to sow up the cut and put a
clean shirt on him. 'don't tell a living
mortal , for it's mv experience that if
you tell anybody a secret you might
as well put it in the newspapers : don't
tell a living mortal , and it'll be all
right. ' And sure enough it was. 11 is
own brothers don't know to this Aiy
but that ho died a natural death.
"Ghosts , did you say ? Do under
takers believe in them ? Fiddlesticks !
lut ! strange tilings happen. The most
curious thing is the horses. It's very
common , for horses to refuse to pull a
dead body. 1 remember one time
one of our best teams had just started
oil' when they stopped , trembled ,
stuck up their ears , and wouldn't
budge one inch further. Coaxing was
no use , they wouldn't go. Wo had to
take a team out of a hack and put
then , in the hoarse , it was a little
child that time , but another time the
same thing happened when we were
burying a man and his wife together. "
With this the conversation closed.
'I'ho old gentleman drew himself to
his fullest height , listened to the
words of parting 8houcd ( through the
car-trumpet , and bowed his visitor
out. .With ago he has lost none of
the urbanity peculiar to him in his
sturdiest years. Constant intercourse
with grief often assumed has shaken
his faith in many things. Half a
century of hand-to-hand familiar in
tercourse with the dead has given him
a quaint ponsivcness mixed with a
strange , grim humor. Careful habits
leave him in complete possession of
all his faculties except that oi hearing.
One can still imagine what he was in
his best days , when it was said that
Hilly Moore looked more truly mourn
ful than all the other mourners put
together. Among the many stories
told about him is this one concerning
the cemetery , the nainu of which was
sometimes jocularly applied in the ap
pellation of Laurel Hill Moore. After
scores of years of constant funeral at
tendance , it is related , Mr. Moore was
called upon to ofliuiato at a wedding
of a relative. In his long black coat
and longer face , with his hands
crossed buforo , as usual , one holding
the melancholy buaver hat , ho stood
ready to nod for the carriages as soon
as the minister finished ; One by one
the vehicle * o.uuo up. With slow stop
and look < f resignation Mr. Moore
escorted tlio bride and groom down
the steps , ami an they sprang in and
the driver cracked his whiji , the old
gentleman , the ruling habit overcom
ing him at the b.st moment , clapped
the carriage door shut with a bang
and shouted , "To Laurel Hill. "

Negotiations have been in progiess

A KENTUCKY LOCH INVAR.
Hli Thlrty-Mllo Unco far n Foitr-

A gentleman from Allen county ,
who chanced fo be in tlio oily yestcr-
: lay. tells an interesting story of ti ro-
n.uitic i mm way match which is now
being intensively Canvassed in thnt
[ iart of tlio state. Sc-ottsville , a prct-
: y village situated in the county men-
.ioned , about fifteen miles from the
I'onncsBcu line , is the homo of aomo
f the most aristocratic people in Ken
tucky. It Un place noted for pretty
girls and gallant young men , and
miong all tlioao the sweetest belle was
Miss Ollio Uriwn , and tlie liandsom-
> st beau Mr. iloaoph Carpenter. They
.oved each Bother unto desperation ,
riiei'-s was the sort of love that al
ways loads to marringe.jiml months
ago tlioy determined to link their des
tinies. In this cato , as in many oth
ers , the only obstacle was parental
objection. Miss llrown's mother
lositivcly declared that she was not
> ld enough to get married , being only
14 , and her sweetheart's entioaties
rt-ore in vain. The young people made
: > no or two inc-H'octual ellbrts at elope-
inont , but ( .hoy were never once
balked in their determination to car
ry out the scheme in the sweet by and
by. On last Thursday young Mr.
Carpenter drove in a buggy to the res
idence of his sweetheart , and ouco
uoro besought her mother to consent
to an early wedding. Mis. Drown
was inexorable , Miss Brown was tear-
ill , and Mr. Carpenter excited. At
ast , when every prayer had been do-
lied , lite young mini boldly put the
piostion to nis sweetheart :
"Will yon go with mo , or mind
, 'our mother and remain at homo ? "
The girl looked up through her
ears , iirat at her mother and then at
icr lover.
Til go with you , " said she at
cngth.
'Then come ; " and with these words
oung Carpenter caught his lady love
n his arms , and hurrying out of the
louse , leaped into the buggy that was
tamling in front of the door. The
lor.so received a smart blow of the
vhip and jumped away in a dead rim.
\s soon as Mrs. Brown realized the
ituatiuu she screamed for assistance
it the top of her voice. In a few
nomciits llio little town was wild with
excitement , but the volume of sym
pathy seemed to be with the young
icoplo , who had whirled through the
itrccts at terrific rate of speed , taking
; ho road that led to Gallatin , Teiin.
The mother whose daughter had been
stolen wildly besought somebody to no
n pursuit of tlio fugitives , and , if
possible , stop the wedding. At length
\Ir. Manion , a young lawyer , and
udgo of the police court , consented ,
fn a few moments ho was mounted
upon a horse of speed and bottom ,
rattling out of the town in the direc-
: ion taken by the buggy at a pace that
would have captured the "gentleman's
cup" at any fair in the state. Prom
iho very start it was a race of whip
md spur. The fugitives were evi
dently making for 'Squire Fi Ices' of-
tico , which is just across the Tennes
see line , and .Midge Maniim was hot
ipon their trail. It was a chase long
to bo remembered by the people who
witnessed it. In front a horse ( locked
with foam going at top speed , and
drawing a light buggy , in which sat ,
with resolution upon his face , and a
beautiful girl nestled trustingly by his
hide. Perhaps a milo in the rear , a
solitary horseman , applying whip and
spur thundering along over the level
turnpike. The buygy had the best of
the race , and pulled up in front of
'Squire Fike's ollico fifteen minutes in
the lead of the man on horseback.
The clever ' .Squire promptly adjusted
liis spectacles and read the marriage
license. It was all right , and tliu
ercmony would be performed , as the
'Squire said , and ho was on the point
of pronouncing the words so feverish
ly awaited by the youii' ' people , when
Judge Mauion , riding like a profes
sional jockey , bore down upon the
[ tarty and signaled the ollicur of the
law to stop. 'T object to this wed
ding , " lie said , flinging himself off his
[ uniting horse.
"Upon what grounds , " asked the
Squire.
"It is the wish of the lady's mother
that .she shall not marry. 1 have cume
it her bidding. "
"You will have to show something
in writing , " said the Squire bluntly.
Judge Manion promptly took his
seatat a table and dashed oil' tin alli-
davit reciting tlio facts. 'Squire
Kikes road it , and , muiji to the dis
comfiture of the runaways , refused to
proceed further with tlio ceremony.
The young people pleaded , but all to
nn purpose. At length Mr. Carpen
ter said in very simple language :
"Wo will go further , ( Jut in the
buggy , my dear. J udgo Manion you
may propuro for another nice. We
nrooirforOallatin. "
The young man meant exactly what
lie said , and in a few minutes the
race wan renewed. The distance to
( jallatin was eighteen miles , but the
buggy horse was staunch and as true
as the love of the young couple ho was
drawing , ] Io leaped nimbly away
from the string , and once more got
the hcijt of the start. Judge .Manion ,
nothing daunted , again took the sad
dle and put the spurs to his faithful
courser. For four miles the race wa *
neck and neck , neither entry for the
grand pri/.o flagging ; but at the finish
of that distance the horne under sad
dle cast a shoo and stumbled to the
ground completely exhausted. The
buggy then glided unaccompanied u
fjullatiii. Judge Manion picked him
elf up , determined to carry out his
mission , and walked along the roai
for three miles , whoa he procured
another horse , this time a sorry plug
and started out once more on a run !
