| i Shocking Suicids in St. Paul's Ca-|

thedra!, London. (From Lloyd's Weekly. ) On Tharsday, January 9th, the visitors in | St. Paul’s Cathedral were greatly alarmed at a! man leaping from the whispering gallery. It) appears that a gentieman about thirty years of | age, amongst others, paid for admission to the vaults, galleries, etc, Leaving the party he strayed to the clock tower, and was there | found kueeling and evidently uttering a pray- er. Remaining m this position Jonger than | was usual, one of the workmen asked him to! retire, when he arose and went in the direction | ot the whispering gallery. No notive was taken | of him until a crash was heard, and on looking | round the vergers were horrified to find that | the unfortunate man had thrown himself from | the gallery, alighting on some chairs below, | two of which were broken. He was at once | removed to St. Bartholomew’s, where life waa pronounced to be extinet. The leg of « chair had pierced him under the left arm, coming out at his back. The height of the gallery from the ground floor to the top of the ralgpes is 101 feet. The sum ef £13 in gold and a*ail- ver watch and chain were found on his person, as well as two letters addressed ‘‘T. W. Stevens,” with which name his linen was also It is thirty years since an occurrence of this kind took place. The deceased was identified on Thursday night as T. W. Stevens ot Peckham.

The Telephone at Osborne House.

By invitation, the telephone has been ex- hibited to the Queen by Profesaor Bell and Colonel Reynolds, assisted by Mr. C. Woll- ston. After explaining the mechanism of his invention, Professor Bell had telephonic com- munication with Osborne Cottage, where Mr. F. C, Ormiston superintended the apparatus. Her Majesty conversed with Sir Thomas and

sang ‘‘Kathleen Mavourneen,” for which Her Majesty kindly returned thanks telephonicall

through his Royal Highness the Duke of Con- naught, The applause that followed was heard at the cottage end of the line. On again being requested to sing, Miss Field gave Shakes- peare’s ‘**Cuckoo Song,” which was heard through a circuit of five human bodies. She then sang ‘‘Comin’ thro’ the Rye,” and de- livered the epilogue to ‘*As You Like It,” hoth being perfectly audible. The next snuer- ments were with Cowes, where Major Webber wasin command. <A quartette of tonic sol fa singers sang ‘‘God Save the Queen,” “ Stars of the Summer Night,” ‘‘Sweet and Low,” and ‘Sir Knight, O whither away ?” with excellent effect, the unison being far more complete at Osborne than where the singers were them- selves, After his Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught had finished a leng conversation with Major Webber, Mr. W. H. Preec>, of the post office, talked from Southampton with Professor Bel] and Colonel Reynolds. Bugle playing from the same town was delightful, but the music of an organ in London was less satisfactory. Uninterrupted conversation took place for two hours between Mr, Wilmot and Mr. Preece. Cheering and laughing in Lon- .don were heard eighty miles away. Through out the seance Her Majesty and the Royal family were exceedingly. interested.

The telephone has superseded the division bell in the House of Commons, to the great satisfaction of the members. The Times of- fice has now telephonic connection with the reporters gallery ip the House of Commons.

An Internationa! Code. A CONVENTION OF STATES TO CONSIDER THE SUBJECL OF BILLS OF EXCHANGE.

H. D. Jenckens, of London, the Honor ary General Secretary of the Association for Reference and Codification of the Laws of Nations, has addressed a communication to Mr. David Dudley Field, of this city, in- forming him that Prince Bismark had re- solved to invite the Governments of differ- ent countries to join in a convention for the consideration of an international law on bills of exchange,and that Austria, Hungary, Sweden, and the Government of Switzer- land had consented to be represented, and requests Mr. Field to ascertain the views of the United States Government upon the subject. The communication having been referred to Mr. A. P. Sprague, Seeretary of the International Code Committee, the Secretary of State, in answer to Mr. Sprague’s note calling attention to the sub- ject, replied as follows :— °

HOW A MAN SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD CAME TO LITE AGAIN-—-HIS DESCRIPTION OF TIE VISION ME SAW.

. From the Philudelphia Times, Jan, 29.

J. Harry Schrack, once a wealthy merchant, lost neariy ail his fortune by endorsing the notes-of others who were either imgrates, or were themselves unfortunate. With his only

,son, his wife and two children having died, he

has for some time past resided in @ neat little house on Mary Street, above Front. For the last four mogths he has been seriously ill with uervous spastas of the heart. Ouring the latter part of last week he himself gave up all hopes of living, and the attending physician, Dr.

Jas. H. Cantrell, expected his patient’s th.

momentarily, Apparently Mr. Schrack die

at 6.40 o'clock on Sunday morning. His limbs became cold and rigid, his lips colored purple, and around his mouth was the blue mark generally supposed to hetoken death. A hand-mirror was placed over his mouth, but the shining surface was not dimmed. His friends and neighbors who stood around pro- nounced him dead, and grieved for him. A few hours afterward the body was completely stripped, that it might he prepared for the undertaker’s hands, Before washing the corpse it was necessary to remove it from the bed. A neighbor, Mr. Charles Shackland, lifted the bot , when, to his alarm, he dis- tinctly heard a feeble groan. A hurried ex- amination developed the fact that the man was not dead. e body was wrapped in blankgts and bottles of hot water placed be- tween them. Mr. Shackland hurried for the doctor, and, returning quickly, acted under the instructions he had received until the doc- tor arrived. Ina short time Mr. Schrack had regained consciousness and was sitting up in bed, but, more than that, the man who before was lying at death’s door, and who was ter- ribly afflicted with disease, was almost as sound and well as ever he was in his life. A Times representative yesterday found him sit- ting up in bed, with a bright color in his cheeks, and looking like anything but a corpse. He spoke in a hoarse whisper, not the result of his illness, but eaused by his catching a slight cold in consequence of the perspiration he was thrown into by the remedies employed to revive him. He spoke earnestly of his ex- perience, but was vivacious and smiling, and at times joked about the expressions of the doctor when he found him alive, He tells his story as follows :—

**T ast September | had a terrible attack of hemorrhage of the lungs, and since then | have not heen able to do anything, except for one period of three weeks. My health st times was fair, but three weeks ago I felt that I was going fast, My flesh left my body. My entire appearance changed. My appetite was

one. Everything | swallowed was at once hrown off my stomach. ast Thursday week I found I would have to give up. I felt as though the power of action in ny limbs was leaving me. I was fearful of going to bed, and so lsat inachair for three days and three nights. I then made up, my mind that! would have to die, and 1 asked to be put in_ bed. Wednesday night I was taken with something like a chill and spasme at the heart. After coming through that I seemed to revive unt] last Saturday. Every hour during that day I experienced a change. While the right hand would be purple the left would be white. When the left hand became dark the right be- came white again. ‘The entire left side of my body was numb and almost uaeless. About 9 o'clock on Saturday night my eyesight began to fail me. 1 lost my hearing, and my speech became thick, my tongue bemg greatly swol- Jen. I had fully made up my mind that I had to die. At about 4 o'clock on Sunday morn

ing the tips of my fingers became like lead. My stomach was terribly swollen, and wae greatly inflamed. Each succeeding cramp was more sey@e and reached higher up to the stomach, Ali the es of my throat seemed to be closed. Shortly after 7 o'clock I asked to be moved to the foot of my bed. My head had scarcely tonched the pillow when I exclaimed - ‘‘Throw me over!” and then--I found myself in another land, The vision I looked upon was the most beautiful that man ever saw. It would be impossible for me to give a description that would do it justice. My first feeling was that of falling down a great height, and then I found myself ina valley. I walked along until I came tos terrible, dark, black river, at sight of which I shuddered and feared. Before and beyond the river was a black cloud. Others were walking over the river, and although I dreaded it, something urged me on, and I felt that I had to go with the others. As] got nearer to the dark cloud it became bright and beautiful, and expanding it opened and disclosed the most beautiful sight. The first I saw was Jesus. | saw a great temple and a great throne. 1) saw my little boy who was drowned two years ago, and a other dead child. I saw my dead wife; but I could not toueh them. I saw peo- ple whom I had almost forgotten. I saw my old, grey-haired grandfather, who died when I was but two years old. There were many whom I looked for, but I did not see them. Then the vision began receding, and [ never can describe the terrible disappointment I felt when I found myself again in the bed. I felt, indeed. It was 11 o'clock when I regained consciousness, and at once I felt as though my life had been renewed. [ was anew man. [ had not then, nor have I now, an ache or « pain, ~ 4 eyesight, my hearing, and my

fully returned, and J feel now as

well as I ever dia in my life.”

Showing how fully he was recovered, Mr.

A lynching in Bakefield, Cal., has peculiar | features. The mob demanded five robbers of | the sheriff, but he fled with the keys of the! gaol. Three hours of hard work with sledges prits into the lynchers’ hands. <A court room A judge, lawyers for the prosecution and the defence, anda jury were

Schrack said, laughingly, yesterday, that if he was to become the subject of notoriety, per- haps, people would be flocking to see him. ‘In that case,”—and here he laughed heartily —‘*T will have to chargr twenty-five cents for admission, and then perhaps Barnum will be after me.”
