A corpse got a good joke on the people of Quebec the other day. It came
there by express, and was only an ordinary, every-day man, but the Kanucks
were looking for a military corpse, and supposing our ordinary corpse to
be he, they got up a Fifth avenue funeral, and buried it with military
honors. The corpse, who didn't know a thing about military matters, must
have many a good laugh over the mistake. And how the military corpse must
have felt, when HE came!
