ID I over BOO graveyards Lyawn in the dcnd hour lot midnight , did you JstiyV" wns the ropotitcd lintorrogntory of George jJMedlock , the vonornblo noxton of Prospect Hill 'cemetery , when titlklng to a writer for Tun Bun. In a neat nml cosy little cottnrjo ut 1018 Cuss fatrcot , Mr. Medloclc resides with hla wife , who 1ms perhaps seen about the same number of summers as himself. Ho is sixty-eight years of age , and his hair on the sides and hack of his head is as white as snow. For twenty-seven years ho was sexton of Prospect Hill cemetery , and three years ago ho retired from that grave position. Ho is now spending the remainder ol Ills days among live people. The old sexton is a jolly , good- natured old gentleman , who has de posited over live thousand bodlos in iho ground. "No , I never saw graveyards yawn , " continued the grave digger. "I have often heard of them yawning in their deathly silence , but have been nothing more than a ghastly gap a gap that Indicates more than sleepiness. It is a gap for an eternal sleep. It is not a yawn as people are prone to call it. During my twenty-seven years' experi ence 1 bavo. seen over live thousand bouls if the souls had not taken their ; lliprht laid down in their last ' and long sleep when the grave has 'gaped. I have had tsomo queer experiences at grave-digging. I wns the first bcxton of the cemetery , and had that grim undertaking whoa that last resting place for the dead was nothing but trees and shrubs. I have not only planted the bodies of people , but I have resurrected them , not to life , but from the grave for removal. Considerable of this work has been xdono at nicht. I had to do it then in order that the corpses could bo taken away on n steamboat. In those days there wore no railroads. I remember having taken " - , up the body of a Chinaman about llftoon years ago. Ho died very suddenly one Rummer afternoon in a laundry on Thirteenth street. Ho ate a quart of ice cream and it killed him. After ho had been in the it round , three years some Chinese nIHciul came hero and wanted to take the hones of the dead Chinaman to his native country. We found that ho had not nutllcioutly decayed to got his bones and I took olV his clothing and planted him again for another 'thrco years. At the expiration of this time , ho was brought to the surface of the earth. There was a largo crowd and a big srang of Chinamen at the cemetery to witness the performance. What little llcsh ro- maijied ou-thc skeleton , I picked from the bones. The Chinamen put them into a sack and made much ado over them. They had a chicken , oranges , candies and burned a lot of red paper and then the bones werooroady to bo sent 0 China. "Ono day about twenty years ago wnilo myself and men wore digging a grave wo accidently struck a skeleton after wo had gotten about seven feet into the ground. There was no sign of a coflin or anything else but the skele ton of a man. Ho was evidently one of tbo emigrants who were going to Cali fornia in 1849 and had died on his way and was buried hero. I struck his skull with a spado. Soundsa little Hue the grave digger in 'Ilamlot , ' don't it ? But it was not the skull of a Yorrick era a 'man of infinite jest. ' Ho might have been , however , but wo never know it. His bones wore bleached as white as the driven snow , and around his neck was a black satin cravat. It was as fresh as it was when ho first put it on. Wo had our grave about finished and never disturbed the skeleton. The corpse for which the grave had been dug was laid on top of the bones , and by this time I suppose that both have returned to earth. "In my time I have come across a number of skeletons in digging graves. Among them have been the remains of Indians in decayed cottonwood boxes which crumbled into dust just as soon as I would try to bundle them. I have also handled and burled bodies that other people would not go near on ac count of disease , Some years ago I was digging a well at the old Brownoll hall and when returning homo at night , I was told that two Englishmen who had been on their way to Utah , and who were tenting in the bottoms , had died of cholera and that no one would bury them. Everybody was afraid that the disease was eonU'geous. I took the bodies and deposited them in the poor farm. That night , in fact when I had jusl finished throwing in the dirt , and was about to leave , I stumbled over a corpse that had boon loft there by some one. 1 planted it also. A few nights afterward , in my tool house at Prospect 11111,1 found the body of a negro woman , whoso husband's name was Smith and who was phot by r , citizen while trying to steal something from the postofllcu. She was there in a box and I placed her under the sod. "I used to have a Dutchman who worked with mo and I had lots of fun with him when wo wore in the grave yard at night. When he first wont lo work It was in the winter and wo ex perienced some pretty cold days and nights. Ono night , wo wore there , working on a grave until 4 o'clock in the morning. The wind howled us it whirled around the monuments and the poor Hollander was scared almost to dooth. The grave was being made for a traveling man who worked for a wholesale drug house in St. Louis. lie died of the small-pox and wo were go ing to bury him that night. His re mains were taken to the cemetery by a couple of colored follows who dropped thorn in the yard and did not notify mo that the corpse was there. The Hol lander staggered on to the box and again ho was almost frightened out of his wits. Three years later , while I was standing over the man's pit , u lady approached preached and abked mo it I could show nor the plnco whore a man who had died of the small-pox was buried. She was his wife. She gave his name and told of the circumstances connected with the drummer's death , I informed the l.uly that she was standing near it and pointed to the spot. She looked ut it and the tears forced from her eyes , Drying thorn she asked mo who him I eon so kind us to nut flowers on the grnvo. I thnn told them it was my self. The woman made a rush for mo and with tears of joy throw her arms around my ncuk and kissed mo. Her heart wan filled with gratitude and she thought that I was not as hardened as jrnvo diggers are said to bo. "People have asked mo if I have not become hardened by seeing BO many dead ones laid under the sod , but I never did. Many a time tears have streamed from my eyes when I saw olh ors sobbing. "I have acted the dual role of gravo- dlggor and minister at the cemetery. In many cases , whore fast women and licentious men have been taken to the graveyard 33 for interment , I have been asked by their friends accompanying the remains to say a few holy words for the ones about to bo entombed. ' Uody snutchors ? Yes , there wns one robbery sotno time ago. The robbers got the corpse of nn old Gorman. They tlug down at the head of the grave , broke the glass in the casket and snaked the hotly out , leaving the clothes and the cotlln. I know the next morning that grave robbers had boon In the cemetery by the bungling way in which they loft the grave. I don'tthink they got the body that they wore after. "My grim and lonely work in the cemetery is over. I wonder , at times , who will lay mo to rest in my little lot in ttio cem etery. There is a monument there and it is waiting for mo and my dear old precious wife. There is nothing on it yet but Che plain , big letters , 'Mod- lock. ' When the sexton has lowered mo in my box and has thrown the clods upon my remains , perhaps with the same shovel that 1 have covered many a man with , I want these words to go on my monument : 'George Medlock Is my name , England is my nation , King's Linn is my native town and Omaha is my financial salvation.

Tascott. EDISON'S CURIOUS LABORATORY Is Full of all Sorts of HcwlltlcriiiR lllillUH. Among the materials stored in Edi son 'b laboratory ( as appears in an arti cle upon Edison in the April Cosmopol itan ) , are samples of every substance in the world ; the thousands of pigeon holes and drawers contain skins and feathers , and furs of the whole animal creation , minerals , barks , grasses , drugs , fruits and gums , in bewildering completeness. Some of the species arose so rare that they are kept like diamonds mends , in the little folded papers. The grotesque nature of some of the mate rials there collected prompted the in quiry : "How can you over want such things as shark's teeth or rhinoccrous' horn ? " "That shows that you don't know what queer things electricians use , " replied our modern Virgil. "During the pro gress of the experiments with the in candescent electric light , for instance , nearly every tilling one can think of was tried as a primary material from which to form the delicate careen filament whoso incandescence is the source of light. Finally , as perhaps you know , shreds of ono particular variety of bam boo wore found to give the most gratify ing results ; and there , by the way , you can see a few bales of the very reeds from which tboso strips are cut. Again , the delicate needle , whichafllxcd to the under side of the vibrating diaphragm of the phonograph , indents the smooth , revolving surface of the waxen cylinder , had to bo formed of some material pos sessing peculiar properties of elasticity nnd rigidity. Scores of the most un likely substances , both organic and in organic , natural and artificial , wore tried before the right ono was hit upon. And so it goes with all the little details of electric appliances. " Carter an an Author. Ex-Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago loft hero this nvoning for Now York , says a Philadelphia dispatch , where ho will call on some publishers in regard to issuing tils letters of travel in book form. "I find that book-writing is con siderably to my taste , and have found great enjoyment in the compilation of my letters. " "Aro you thinking of writing a novel ? " "Yes , I am , " replied Mr. Harrison , smilingly. "I have thought seriously of writing ono a novel , something on the style of 'Robert Elsmore. ' I know it will tax my abilities , and thnt it will not compare with Mrs. Ward's wonder ful creation , nor do I entertain any idea of it bointr its poor. I have also an ethical creed which I would like to ex press. That is what induces me to write on so deep a subject. However , the only certain thing is the unex pected. " "What ia the title of your now hook ? " " 'A Rnco with thu Sun , " said lie. Gnlvnntzliti ; Wrouylit Iron. The American Machinist gives the following method for galvanizing wrought iron : The wrought iron is first immersed in a cleansing bath of equal parts of sulphuric or muriatic acid and water , uecd warm. U is then scrubbed with emery or sand , to clean it thoroughly and detach all scales , if any are left , after which it is immersed in a preparing bath of equal parts of saturated solutions of chloride of vsino and chloride of njnmonia , from which bath it Is directly transferred to the fluid metallic bath , consisting of twenty chemical equivalents of.hie to ono of mercury ; or , by weight , 040 pounds of zinc to 10(1 ( of mercury , to which are added from five to six ounces of sodium. As soon us the iron , has attained the temperature of this hot fluid bath , which is only OSO dpgrces Fahrenheit , it may bo removed , and will then bo found thoroughly coated with zinc. Care must bo taken not to leave the iron too long immersed in this hath , as its aflinity for iron Is such that it may become dissolved. This is the case'with thin plutos of wrought iron ; oven when one-eighth inch thick they may bo dis solved in a few seconds. It is sale , therefore , to let the bath previously act on some wrought Iron , so that it dissolves a portion of it , in order to sat isfy its Inconveniently great afllnjty for HUB metal. All danger of drinking impure water is avoided by adding UO drops of the genuine Angostura Hitters , manufac tured by Dr. Slogert & Sons. At all druggists.

The Curious Sltlo or fjlfc. I used to stny with a frlond In Wiltshire , snys a wrltcr.ln the London Standard , whoso | iark Is Bcimrntcd from the house by a lake which Is about ono hundred nnd fifty yards broad at the narrowest part. I became Inti mate with two delightful dogs Belonging to my hostess , a largo colllo , called Jasper , and n rough ak.vo terrier , Bundle. The pulr wcro devoted friends , If possible always went out together , and , sad to relate , oven poached to. gather. Ono afternoon I called them , as usual , to gofer for a xvallc , and , making my way to the lake , I determined to row across nnd wander nbout In the dcorpark. Withoutthlnklngof my two companions , I got Into the boat and unshed oft. Jasper at once Jumped Into the water and Bayly followed the bout. Half way across ho and I wore both startled by despairing howls , and , stopping to look back , wo saw poor llttlo Sandlo running up and down the bunk and bitterly bewailing the cruelty of his two so- called friends In loavlnc him behind. Hardening my heart , 1 sat still In silence and watched. Jaspcrwas clearly distressed ; ho swam round the boat and , looking up into my face , said unmistakably with his wise , brown eyes : "Wny don't you go to the res-- cuel" Scoing , however , that I showed no signs of Intelligence , ho mada up his mind to scttlo the diniculty himself , so turned and swam to poor llttlo Bundle. There was n moment's p.iuso , I suppose for explanations , and then , to my surprise and amusement , Jasper stood still , half out and half in tlie water , nnd Sandlo scrambled on to his back , his front paws resting on Jasper's neck , who swam across the lake and landed him safely In the deer park. Mrs. E. Musgrovo's liorso Charlie has for many years been a well-known figure around Jasper , O. The attachment between him nnd mistress was so great that wherever ono was seen it was well known that the other was rot for away. Hut , sad to relate , ho Is no moro. Ho has gene to that nquina heaven where horses always revel in luxurious pas turage and no cruel whip over touches them. The cause of his death , too , was as rare as It is pathetic. Some days ago Mrs. Muserovo went to Hot Springs for the benefit of her health , leaving particular Instructions be hind her for thu cnro of her beloved Charlie. These instructions wcro faithfully carried out. but the animal drooped , refused to cat , and betrayed such marks of grief at the ab sence of his mistress that the family became came- seriously alarmed , and the best veteri narians wcro called in to attend Mm. In vain all their efforts. Charlie refused to be comforted , and finally yielded up the ghost. An autopsy showed that ho died of a broken heart. "I will tell you a story , " sold Poster L. Backus in the Urooklyn Euirle , "about the memory and reasoning power possessed by a horse on my father's farm. This horse was in the habit of making journeys about the neighborhood in charge of a certain groom , who wns coarse , ignorant , low nnd cruel. The horse had been brouirht up on our farm , and was very good tempered and gentle , but the proom's rouijhuoss and fondness for lav ing on the whip confused him so much that ho was not prompt in obeying orders some times , Then the groom beat and bullied him. The horde never showed the slightest sign of resentment until one Uay the groom approached him in the pasture turo field. The horse was free for the nrst time in the presence of his enemy , and he charred the groom. A short halter was around his neck and the groom seized this and hung on. The horse tried to strike him with his forefeet tried to bite and kick him. The man dodged and shouted for aid. "Tho fight was desperate and very excit ing. The horse fairly ro.ired with rage. The groom was nearly fairgod out , ana in an other flvo minute would have been knocked down and trampled to death , when my father come on the scene. Ho seized the halter and told the groom to run. As soon as ho was gene the horse subsided and was as docile as ever. Now I am satisfied that the horse deliberately planned to kill the groom at the llrst opportunity. See how carefulliy ho chose the time and place of the assault. A lonely pasture field where ho had his enemy all to himself. Ho hnd never shown the faintest sign of viciousnes before. The uroom kept away from him after that , nnd the horse never afterward was known to exhibit rage. If ho had killed the groom jt would have been murder in the first de gree , for the alement of deliberation was there. Yes , sir , horses have reason , nnd they have memories also. " A Now York Journal reporter assisted at a feast the other day that for oddity outdoes anything in line of feasts it has ever been his good fortune to onjoy. Ho ate an omelet which was cooked by simply lying in a fry under which man's ureat'.i ing-pan , n was blown , nor was the meal confined to the omelet by any means ; there was some nice buckwheat cakes , done to a turn , and somn palatable coffee and lamb chops , as well as other things. The person who provided nnd cooked the meal Is ono of the most astonish ing men in Now York. His stomach is a well of natural gas , with a constant How by day and night , and with every probability that it will continue flowing until ho organ izes a gas company. Ono thing is sure , the gas is at present being constantly generated. The owner of this remarkable stomach is a Spanish gentleman , Senor Uarnello by name , nnd ft is a funny thing to see him no up to a street lamppost and ignite the gas by simply blowing his flaming breath upon It ; for all he bus to do at any time is to apply a a match to his breath to set the breath on fire. Ho did It several times yesterday , and at half-past ! > o'clock In the evening ho lit every gas jet in Doris' big Eighth Avcnuo museum ; but that feat ho will do every evening for the week. Ho will enter a dark ened room , place u gas Jet , say sixteen inches long , between his lips , blow his breath through It , touch n match to the breath and become a gus fixture instantcr. Ho says ho can not account for this wonderful flaming business of his , nnd that ho does It Just as naturally us ho walks. He protests that ho has no trouble in lighting and hcatinghis ; apartments , and as for his cooking ho can manugo that like a chef. A poll parrot prevented a robbery in Cin cinnati recently. By climbing a grape urbor a thief managed to get through a second story window into a room in the rear portion of the residence of Hon. Emil Hothu at 2G'J Browne street. In the room in which ttio nocturnal visitor found himself was a largo parrot of unusual Intelligence , nnd which Mr. Rotho has owned for a long time. On the entrance of the thief the bird , seeming to realize that something was wrong , set up a screaming ana screeching , vociferously calling 'papa" in a manner that struck teirortotho trespasser. There none of the members of the household In the room , but that they would bo aroused if Polly was not throttled was certain. In fact , the bird's cries were heard by Mr. 1 to tho. who pro ceeded to the room , but not until the thief had made his escape. A wlso horse Is Nod , the dapple gray that runs on Engine No. 3 of Nowburyport. Ono of the usof ul accomplishments ho picked up u short time ago Is that of watering himself. Happening into the lire station ono evening this week the scrlbo was introduced to this feat of the gruy'B. "Ned , " said the driver , "do you want a drink I" The old follow looked round with a knowing wink , us much as to say he did. Being unhitched ho catno out of his stall , walked over to the trough , looked around a moment , swelled at the faucet , and finally , taking It In his teeth , opened It wide , setting the water running merrily , Hla thirst quenched , ho reversed the lever , toolc another observation , and nauntorcd back to his stall unconcernedly. The suicide mania Is making great ravages In the Austrian army. Shortly after the death of the crown prlnro an ofllccr of the prince of Wales' Hussars blew nis brains out. On Wednesday the colonel of the Sixty- second rcL-iment of tbo line shot hlmsslf In Hungary , But ono of the most extraordin ary cases of sutcldo pn military record Is now reported from laausonburg. Lieutenant Mnngcslus , of'tho'most popular officers of the garrison , proceeded on Saturday to the barracks , wherTf his company WM quar tered , and wns obsqrvftjl , to ho ubscnt-mlndcd and depressed. Ho went Into n room whore a numoer of the Mew magazine rifles were kept , nnd loaded ono of them with n bullet. Ho then called in two men , Addresslric one of them , he said : raVe this rltlo and let mo see if you can mm cropcrly. Point ot my loft cyo. " The soldlor had no idea the weapon was londtfd , ifttid obeying the words of command "Make " " " , ready , "present , "fire , " ho discharged the rlilo at a distance of three yards into thb fttneor's oyo. The ballot wont through his skull , nnd death was , of course , Instantaneous. Ho loft a letter for his captain , saylngrUifil the soldier who shot him was Innocent. , Albert Mcnmng , a mlddlo aged man of Eau Claire , Wls. , formerly n subaltern In the German army , wns arrested recently at Cblppowa Fulls charged with bigamy nnd wns Jailed there. It appears that Mcnnlnir has a wife and child in Munich , whence ho fled to America. Ho recently went through the marriage ceremony with a young elrl living at Pall Creek. She Is the sister of n prominent citizen of Kim Clnlrc , who has Just discovered the previous marriage. The wife's suspicions wore nrouscd by things her husband said In his sleep. Her brother has secured documentary evidence from the old country which shows n clear case against Mcnnlg. There Is a heavy draught horse at ono of the quarries In Westerly that has been driven for n number of years by the same man a native of the Emerald Isle. And It Is a fact that the worthy animal will not draw a load in the morning until ho has had n chow of tobacco. His appetite being satisfied , he Is off like n whole-sail bree/e. "Kid" Micratiiro. "Fnd" 8001113 a trilling word to em ploy in connection with the vast subjeet of literature , says ICnto Cuthorwooil In Table Talk ; uiul yet it is n recognized fuel that there , perhaps , never was a time when there was such a strong "craze" for certain kinds of reading matter and these kinds cover ample grounds. While one-half the world is deeply absorbed in books of the "Robert Elsmore" order , the other half is engrossed - grossed with what has boon termed , not Inaptly , "Kid Literature. " The best specimen of the latter is Mrs. Uurnott's charming "Little Lord Faimtloroy1 that has taken young and old by storm , and that has inspired a notable 'number of imitators , who have rushed into the Hold with unbounded confi dence , and an earnestness that would be highly eommendablo otherwise ap plied. Yet moro curious "fads" in the current literature nre the strange com parisons not a few of the authors draw , to say nothing of the incomprehensible to the many words they use. Ono author of the day. in a much- discussed hook , makes the dark tresses of his heroine exhale a fragrance Hko unto the "odor of distant oases. " W hilo apain , she is made to harkon to her lover's protests us if assisting at the soliloquy of an "ongahtrimuth. " The same writer , in another talkcd-abont story , tells of being "distraught at the intussusception of it presence. " These , nnd similar expressions , form diversi fying topics of Conversation.
