From the Hartford Courani, June 28!h. Aa'Extraordinary 'Story. The fickleness of fortunj is \feTt illustra ted in the experience of a worthy family in this city, who have found themselyjb sud denly raised from that eahditioa in society where people are said to live in “moderate circumstances”, to tho. highest pinnacle of wealth. The facts are tliese: Mrs. Ella Walker, residing at No. 100 Maple avenue, is a woman oTlfnglish birth. Her husband (who is a .machinist by trade) and herself have resided here for a number of years, and have several children. It was reported some months ago that a largo property, val ued at thirty-five millions of dollars, had fallen to Mrs. Walker’s father, as a direct heir, and, he being dehd. that lha whole amount belonged to her as his only child.— Steps were at once taken to ascertain the truth of this report, and cx-Governor T. IT. Seymore was employed to investigate. . The result of this investigation is entirely favorable to Mrs. Walker, documents hav ing been received which show beyond ques tion that sire will come in possession of this immense property, and she, together with her hnshand and children, will start for Eng land next week to receive the golden emr. It is said that upon a full settlement of all matters connected with this most extra ordinary “streak of lack,” Mrs. Walker will return to Hartford and make herperma- nent residence here. Hnmorhatliitthatshe will erect upon some eligible site a magnifi cent mansion, following the style of the grand villas and castles of Merry England, which shall excel in grandeur the most cost ly of jyneriean palaces. But the.Indy lias, not probably given anv one permission to make such (^statement.— It is more reasonable to suppose that some somegossiper, thrilled hy the intelligence of the-“windfall,” baa altaraed; las. imagjiia- tion to picture as Molnotte pictured to Pim- linc a fairy palace with marble halls by the Jake of Como. Yet it. wbuld not, ba surpris- ing if the fortitnate- possessor of thirty-five millions of solid gohl-should desire to erect here—where years of toil had been expended' tofurnish a daily support—a mansion suita ble to a life of luxury and ease, and. credita ble to the city which site haa adopted, as her home’ We congratulate Mrs. Walker nncfihcr family upon their good fortune. She will be, when in full possession of her property,, the richest woman in the United Stares.— But she is said to be a woman of good sense, and will not place herself beyond tho reach of those who have been her friends d nring the years she has lived here - already we learn that it is her purpose to make one family at least, in whom she is interested, in dependent of want j and probably we shall be called' upon hereafter to chronicle other charitable deeds wltiolf her generosity will prompt.. , lfew Breech fcoaden. fflie Lwifton correspondent of the New York Times, gives tho following account of a new invention in firc-^rms: * Mr. Sale, the blind inventor of the meth od of making powder incombustible, has now invented a gnn, said to bo more simple and 'rapfibkhnn any previous breechloader; In stead of revolvers lie uses slides, each to bold.a certain number of cartridges—sav ten.<sch-j'tenslides wiU- hold- a' hundred, and these may bo fired in a minute.

Wilson, a" very, intelligent young man of nineteen, pres'ented himself to ns yesterday morning, antf asked thro’ the Picayune to ho put in communication with his parents, who he is told are some? where in New Orleans.- “His history, for so young a man, which hetoldusin a straight forward manner, having first made affidavit to the same before Justice Hero, is one ot the most eventfqi Of-the eventful histories ofithowar. Ho tells us he is a native of Lynchburg, Va.; liis father’s name James IL Wilson, his-mother,s maiden name Ma ria Jones. At tlio outbreak of tho war he sought service, and gojng to Richmond was tlierc regularly commissioned, by Judah P. Benjamin, then Secretary, of War, in the secret service. He was then fourteen years old, and his comtnissicm was dated Ma- i 861. With this, he reported first to ( Beauregard, at Manassas; and was thence sent across the enemy’s -lines. Hoafter- wards rendered Gen. Johnston and CjeScral Hill, ‘pnd continued in service until Septem ber^, 1864, when he was captured at .Ber muda Hundreds, taken to Norfolk, tried before a military commission as a spy, con victed and sentenced to be hung. On ac count of his extreme youth, his sentence was commuted hy President Lincoln to twenty years imprisonment in the Ohio State prison,.whither lie was at once trans ferred and confined till May 28th of the present year—one nKmth ago—when he was fully pardoned hy Andrew Johnson. The pardon was dated May 1866, and was approved by the Secretary of War, and the object of his declaration before Jnstice He- - iro was for the purpose of obtaining a du plicate copy of his pardon, which .for that purpose will be forwarded to Washington. ■dmmediatelv after liis pardon young Wilson visited his home at Lynchburg, Va., where ho was informed that his parents re moved to this city, after the closq of the war, in J tine of last year, about a year ago. He arrived in this city yesterday morning from Cairo, hy the steamer David White, Captain Vawter, who kindly -gave him a free passage. If this publication ‘ shall re sult in ascertaining the whereabout s of liis parents, its object will have been attained. [N. O. Picayune. is young gantjeman was in our city rday.

Tlierc are many,readers, says the Rich mond Times, who, not ltavinj* kept up with the current history of political affairs in Eu rope, now that war has actually begun be tween. Prussia and Austria, desire to know Soda Water—Its History. We will venture to say 4hat very few of our readers who frequent the soda fountains know the manner in which the beverage is made. Soda water is simply pure water impregnated with carbonic acid gas. It is impregnated with gas is placed in a strong vessel, usually called n fountain:: -The gas after being passed through water topUnfr it, conducted tj> the fountain, and after suffi cient agitation in connection with tho gas, it a high pressure, the water becomes im pregnable, and is tlicu what isAnowu as so- dawater. * The first experiment werejnade by Venal. in Fpiinon i'tra V*717 and, others. The first manufactory in the world was established at Geneva, by Goss, an apothecary of that eny, whose annual sales amounted to 40.000 bottles of “Eau de Selts.” In 1700, hB part ner, Mr. Paul, founded an establishment in I ans, where were compounded not only the principle mineral waters of Prance, hut even these of foreign countries. From this time onwards, laboratories multiplied all Europe, and the mannfacturo of siragle agrated wa- ter is no w conducted on solarge'a scale in all fho civilized countries thata large amount of inyentiye talent has been successfully em ployed in improving the neccessary. appara- L russta ; — the exact erase that has set these two great Powers by the ears. Everybody knows tlial it is something about Schleswig and Hol stein; bnt what is it? Here it is: . By the defeat of Denmark, whom Eng land encouraged tO'go-.to war and' then de serted,^the two Great German Pbwers be came, in 1804, joint possessors of the Du chies of Schleswig, Holstein and Laucnbnrg. Less than a year afterward Austria sold her rights in Lanenberg for two millions five hundred thousand thalera,-and by the Con vention of Gastcin it was agreed that the joint occupation should terminate, that Aus tria should take possession of Holstein, and Prussia of Schleswig. This was one step m . ®e negotiation by which Prussia expect ed ultimately to become master of both the Duchies, hut beyond this point Austria re fused to go, and mgjcctcd every proposition for the final cession ofher rights to Holstein ’—a province of little value to Austria, hut of great value to Prussia on account of its nearness so^^ her frontiers, and’of its seaport Iviet -As tlio diplomacy of Prussia grew more and more urgent, Austria, on the first of June last, banded over the question to the Federal Diet of Germany.. This step Prussia instantly denounced as a violation ■of the Convention*!' Gustei'n, since by-that Convention it.hud been azreed that all mat ters. relotftig to the Duchies should be Set- tled between Austria and Pru'ssiU indepen dently of the Confederation. Prussia,-there fore,declared that Convention at "an end aiid insisted that, as a consequence^ her right to the joint occupation of Holstein* was revived: She inarched troops into Holstein, and at last adviedk had crossed the frontiers of Saxony and was marching on Dresden.— Bencdelq, the-Austrian commander,. will al so attempt to seize Dresden, the possession of which-will be a most important advan tage to citheit side-obtaining it,as. an Wrmy once established there could not he dislodg ed without a long campaign.
