TI-WEEKLY EDITION. The Terriblo Death of a Man in an Air Tight Coffin. The body of a man who went to California to regain his health was recently shipped in ai metallic coffin for his former home in the East. When the Central Pacific train arrived at Ogden Junction, the corpse was consigned to tho Union Pacific Express Company and placed under charge of Express Messenger Frank Burges. While the train was in the western part of Neb aska Mr. Burgess heard sounds from the coffin that led him to believe that the dead manl bad comO to life. It was in the night, and he heard the sounds as he lay dozing and half asleep. Again time noise was heard, and the attention of the messenger was rivetted to the coflin, and the horrible possibility that the dead might be alive thrust itself upon the messenger so forcibly that he called the attention of other elnployces to it, but after listening a mio ment, they merely laughed at him. The convictions of time express messon - gor, however, were so strong that he had heard moans from the coffin that he had time case opened when the train made its next halt. The weather was very cold, and upon the insido of the glass plate of tl.o coffin there had accumulated a thin film of frost, such as might have been deposited by the breath of a porson contined in such narrow quarters. Tihe face was also drawn up against the glass plate, and other disturbances indicated life. While Burgess had no doubt that the man, though then dead, had been alive in the coffin, time other employees ex plain('d the accunmulation of frost on the glass as the natural exhalations of the dead body, and the disturb-. ances of the corpse as due to the movements in the shipping. A privato dispatch, received from Chicago last night, says that when the coffin arrived at its destination and was opened, unmiistakablo proofs of the terrible truth were discovered. The hands were clinchod, the lips bitten, and the mouth filled with bloody froth. The man had been alive, and it was his moaning tlat had been heard but not recognized.--Ona/a 11er (11(1. Co(Xme Ba.xo v.--Cognac Brandy is at 1i rst a colorless liquid, but it gradually acquires a pale-yellow or amber color from the (1nsk in which it is kept, for aging. With its natur al appoaranec, however, it never ap pears to the consumiemr, publie 1:rue having become vitiated to t;i .ent of reqilirin .g a ich brown or brandy color, which is immpartt I by a umix tare of caramiicl or burr. t sugar. Oe., (asionally, too, at little red sanders. wood is used for coloring. Th e con sti tuents are alcohol andit water and1( small quantities of volatile oil, acette acidl, acetic et her, onanlhthiic ether, tannuin, &c., anid, as it reaches the consum ner, coloring matter. VThe (luantity of alcohol varies from 48 to 55 pori cent., the latter being~ the stanidard' strength or' "proof." It is generally imported into England at 1 to 3 over proof, but thme str'ength is lessened by age, so that whmen taken from bond for sale it seldom exceeds 3 or 4 under proof. The quality of the brandy depends not, as may be generally supposed, on the quantity a n cuhmol ma con tains so nuch as oni the minor constitu-, on ts,. notably theo311 oathmiie other, from which it derives its distin guishing smell and flavor. This fact becomes apparent when it is reflected that while brandy, as is w~ell known, improves with age, it loses thereby a part of its alcoholic strength. The very fin est brandies, in fact, average from five to ten under proof, and never rise above two under proof. [t is absurd to think that the adoption of professions usually re gar'ded as masculine monopolies unsexes woman. It only makes them business like. Here, out in Montgomery county, there is a lady lawy er. She is, or was, married. And thme other day a client went to her office and found the door locked, and the followinig notice pinned on the outside: "Gone to my husband's funeral ; back in thuity minutes."
