In or- order to do this Bell fell in love with a Yankee aide, who she promised to marry when the war closed, provided liewronld tell hoi- what was transpir- iug every day in their army. He loved lu r devotedly and tried to per suade her to come North and marry liiin immediately; she refusing to do either, lie consented to tell her all he knew. At last he met her by a bi au- tiful little brook in the woods, and gave 1-er-n pass to cross the Susque hanna, which Bell received and gave to Gen. Jackson, that lie might allow one o his men to: cromj a iy her. After succeeding in crossing, Bell, with the Confederate soldier, was seen and cap tured as spies. The were placed in prison to await a trial by court-mar- stiircase. At the top of the stairs was written the history ->! the works cn a marble slab, and, inserted in the walk The works were built by the city gov ernment, and Tcommenced in 1837, and finished in 1S42; costing the city the moderate little sum <>t nine mil lions of dollars. The water is con ducted into the. city by means of a large iron pipe from the river Croton; which is forty miles from the city.— We then went ont on top of the wall, and walked around protected by an iron railing, over which we could gaze into the beautiful and clear basin of water, wliich is so great a blessing to the city. But we were forgetting our promise to Mr. B. and hastened back, where we spent the remainder of the evening with him. Sunday, as our friend Mr. B. was still very weak, though a great deal better, we concluded to remain in the city. At ten o’clock Mrs. L. and myself, without Mr. B., went to St Stephen’s Cathedral, between Fourth Avenue and Madison Street. On reaching the door the sexton told us that strangers had to pay ten cents each to assist in keeping up the church. For the first time we paid to enter the house of God. The in side was gorgeous and grand, with its stained glass windo ws, beautiful paintings, and the finest pulpit and altar 1 ever beheld.

The great political revolutions of the last de cade, wiih the natural result of the lapse ot time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, aud of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important seigte maintained, of which the de tails are as yet preserved only in newspapers oi are as yet preserved only in newspapers in the transient publications of the day, but which now ought to take their places in perma nent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, fca& accordingly been the of the editors to- bring down the information to" the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the mest recent discoveries in science, cf every fresh production in literature, and of the n©west inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original .record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun after long and care ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termi nation. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming In fact a new ; Cydopfedia. with the same plan and compass as its predec^f Ox» pnt with a far ^reafcr ^CCl^ryexpenaiture, ai d mm such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge.

His trials inaj bo imagined better than described.— The Colonel who loved Bell so devo tedly came aud disclosed all that bad passed between Bell aud liimself, and then offered himself as a sacrifice in her stead. A faithful old negro also offered his life for her young mis'ress to be spared. While these sceues were being enacted the noble Gen’i. Jackson offered to give him : two Yankee, prisoners for Bell and her Confederate frieud, but Gen. Bligh was unwilling to the exchange. Then Gen. Jaeks-m asked permission to talk with Bell privately, which was granted: He tried to persuade Bell to leave the battle-field, as it was not the place for a woman to spend her life, after pleading some time with her, he at last got her to promise to return to her husband and couulry. Arrangements were made for beli to leave prison and return North, but the Go e orate oldi - iml Col. Pike to escape on the horses that were wait ing for her aud Gen. Bligh, and pla ced herself in prison willing to die for b-r friends. About this time Gen. Jackson’s men were crossing the Black Adder, and preparations were made for a battle. The Battle was soon in piogress. cannons weic fired, yells were heard, and men were seen elimbing over the mountain in every direetion; when Col. Pike, who had escaped from Prison, returned bring ing help for liis men. No sooner had he told the news than he was shot by the Confederates, and fell dead at :ne feet of Gen. Bb'gh and Bell. The scenes were grand and beauti ful. The stage was beautifully orna mented with tl>e most natural looking scenery. The play was very exciting and interpstiag. It was written ex pressly for ijp. John McCnllongh by D'ou Bouii.ault. We retnrned to the hotel much pleased with the whole programme. Friday, as onr .friend Mr. B. not being able to accompany us to any particular place, we concluded to spend tlie day in onr rooms, reading, writing, etc. About seven o’clock Judge EL came to accompany ns to Theodore Thomas’ Summer Concert, wkicti is considered the grandest con cert in the United States. About one hundred performers appeared upon the =tage; most of them played on violins, others on the harp, flute, bu gle, French horn, drum, etc. The. music was scientific and grand.

Every one kuelt to the Vir gin, aud.ihauy used the holy water. Tw j sisteis of charity came in with their suow-rliite bonnets, and black bombazine vails, that were thrown back, covering their forms- Four nuns came all dressed in black. At eleven o’clock a small bell rang, and two boys came out with long black gowns and white saques, with short sleevas; behind was the priest. He appeared in a richly embroidered go’wn, and the seamless garment, which was very long and bad a large cross embroidered in the back; it had the appearance of a talma. He turn ed his back to the congregation and not a word! could we hear, though the congregation seemed to understand him k as they stood, bowed, and knelt at prayer time.- At half-past eleven he turned and desired prayers to. be made for some sick, aud anuoutieed services for next Sabbath. He then turned and. walked out leaving ns to i'tel more like we had been to a the atre than lo the bouse of God. We took a street car and found our way back lo the Giand Central. Af ter supper, in company with Mr. B., we started to vespers, but were dis appointed as the Catholics were .cele brating purification, and all the cath edrals were closed. We then went to Trinity, the oldest and wealthiest church in New York. They have a fine organ and a» excellent choir; the music was very sweet. We met three funeral processions,—some hearts were sad in putting away their loved ones. We saw large crowds passing ..... W to and fro, baying bouquets'; light lit erature, etc. Very many stores were open, buying and selling. I felt that I had not spent the Sabbath as I should have done, and my heart warmed for a good Methodist sermon. So after tea we started for “The Church of the Stranger.” Dr. Deems is the pas- t )*.:.

Foreshadowing* of the Sty'es. The earliest suggestion of the sea sonable changes'in apparel is always observable in hats and bonnets. The first hint of spring or autnmn is found in the slight, yet distinot, variations of head coverings.' ' Already the shop windows are filled with hats, loaded with velvet, and feathers, and brilliant wreaths, which- were they in a month later, wonld lie the envy of passing crowds.Now these milliners foresbad owing late merely glanced nt, and for- gotten-at least for the time. There will be no essential variation* [ if shapes du ring the early Fall. The favorite style will be the Leghorns, with low round, flat crowns : aud'.finger wide brims, turned up against the crown on one or both sides. This style has been moderately popnlnr all summer, the liking tor it increased ns th« sea son waned. For autumn, these hats have the side of the brim , faced all over wiih velet, an inch-wide binding showing on the outside; Around the crown a band, flatly folded, ora loose- lying scarf of velvet fasteus in a uum tier of loops without en.li, on the left side, not so far back as formerly. Mingled with the loops is a small bunch of feathers or a long plume. Under the curling edge of the brim, turned up against tbe crown, is a spray or short wreath of bright color ed leaves,and berries. Ornaments of all metals,—notably burnished silver, -except oxydized silver (this has run. rts course), are sparingly placed upon the velvet upon the garniture; ana this with insignificant variations, is the regulation model for an October hat. High authorities declare that plaids, stripes and figures are to be fashiona ble in all dress materials, for cool and cold A-erther, which is equivalent to saying that plain and simple shapes and meager trimmings are to be the coming rule. Fluids, and stripes, and figures are so difficult to trim-with any semblance of grace or beauty, that, when they are the mode, excessive garniture censes to be practicable. The pretty, old-fashioned Gabrielle dress, modified and improved, is re introduced nnderthe more pretentions title of the Prineesse. It is well adapted to in-door costumes, and tike the long-loved and soon-to-be-lament - ed polonaise, is quite becoming to most people. A good figure is set off, and a bad figure much hel;>etl, by the graceful Prineesse costume. However strongly Fashion sray de clare in favor of stuffs with other tlian plain colored surfaces, there can never be a* question as to the more genuine, elegance of these.

Gentlemen: Yonr note, proposing a re-union of the surviving members of tbe Brigade in which we served the Confederate cause together, has been received, and in a reply, I express briefly, but most cordially, my sympa thy with the movement. The lapse of years since the war has not diminished my respect and aflec tion for onr comrudes, nor my attach ment to the land and the .principles for. which we contended. Always glad to take a fellow soldier by the hand, I shall certainly enjoy a gener al meeting of the gallant survivors of our good old Brigade. With sincere respect for yon per- personally, lam, as ever yours, &c., Clement A. Evans. Atlanta Ga., August- 25th 1874. Messrs. W, B. Jones, 11. S. McFab- lin, and D. N. Speer. LaGrange, Ga.: Gektle3ien: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter requesting thy attendance “at . a con vention or re-union of the survivors of Gordon's Brigade, A. N. V., to be held in Atlanta, in October next, du ring .the State Fata.” Yon need not be. assured; T Irnst that the movement has my full sympa thy and commendation. The .occa sional re-union (now happily growing into custom) of those who stood to, each other, and their State, in the se cond great contest for popular liberty in America, cannot fail to exert'a be*- niticeut influence. It will renew and strengthen the friendships born of common perils and common sacrifices revive anil perpetuate memories for the ultimate use of impartial history, and excite and keep alive, in the youth of tfie coming generation, a proper rev erence for the great principles to the defence of which were consecrated the blood and treasure of theta fath er every pew was full, ani we, with, materia], which may be -tabled, churches in good old Georgia.. : The text was taken from 1st Timothy, 6th chapter. 12th verss:—“Fight the good, fight of Faith: Lay hold on Eternal Life.” The eminent divine said that, his life nad been a fife of warfare, but that he would continue the fight according to necessity, upside down or inside out, than of 6ach as has an •up and down” or right and wrong side,. It is believed that the deep, rich shades of maroon, brown, and bine will be quite as popular as black du . ring the winter, both form and out door wear. They are a pleasant change from black, and there is great er security-in purchasing low-priced colored silks than in until it ended in eternal life.

Very Respectfully Yours, James M. Smith. We* hereby take the liberty'to call a .re-union of all the survivors of Gor don’s Brigade, A. N. V., to convene i.i the city of At-Lmta, Ga., on Wednes day October 21st 1874 during the State Fair. Addresses may be expected by Gen. A. li. Lawton, who organized this brigade and carried it to the valley of Virginia 6,100 strong, and who fell wounded leading our command at the battle of Sharpsbttrg; Gen. Gordon, whose distinguished valor made his brigade and name historical, will meet you; and Gen, C. A. Evans who led the last charge at Appomattox, the dis tinguished successor of Gen. Gordon, and last cjtnmmondcr of our brigade, will also be present and address-ynr. The Colonels of the 13th, 26tb, 31st, 38th, 60th, and 61st Georgia regi ments. and the Major commanding the 12th Georgia battalion, are earn estly requested, at once, to communi cate with the surviving officers of each' company in theta respective commands and urge them to notify, in person or by letter, every surviv ing member of theta company, of the contemplated re-nnion and nrge their prompt attendance on Wednesday Oc tober 21st, 1874.

It was at first intended to perform the last offices on the gronnd acjacent to the Temple at Walkeshwar, but ulti mately it was considered that the burutag-ground at Sonapore wonld be a more appropriate scene, for there Mr. Narayau had, at considerable cost, erected a place of sholter for mourners, planted trees, aud ia other ways shown his mnuifficence,. The procession . t.r.ed at 7 p. m. The bier, composed of two long int-ces of bam boo with a couple of cross pieces, and covered with a rich white shawl, was upheld by the eldest brother of the deceased, and Mr. Bugunath Naravun, Mr.* Shantaram Naravun, and Dr. Shantaram Withul. The sacred fire, which had been kindled with due cer emonies at tfie house, was curried in frout in a brazen vessel by the deceas ed’s son. The funeral was largely at tended not only, by members of his own caste, but by those of other castes and denominations. When the pro cession reached Sonapore the bier' was placed on the gronnd while tue pyre was being constructed. Men with short crowbars made six holes in t-^e earth, aud in * each of these was placed a rough piece of timber about four or five feet high The posts, ranged two aud two, were about a yard distant from each other. Three fogs, abont six feet long each, were placed on pieces of wood between each pair of uprights, so as to allow a free draught under the whole. A number of smaller logs were placed on these large ones, and were covered with sandal-wood, which made a sort of. bed for the reception of the body. While this was being done a nuwbei ot torches of sandal-wood were ■ care fully ignited by the son of the de ceased at the sacred fire which he had brought with him for the purpose. Prayers were said while the ignition was in progress. All being ready, the bier was brought to the side of the pyre. It was then lifted on to the pyre, which was by this time between three and four feet high. The up right posts confined the body bn either side, and prevented the possi bihty of its rolling off, Small blocks of sandal-wood of various lengths— from six inches to two feet—were placed lightly on the body. The son of the deceased then took a brazen vessel. full of water aud carefully sprinkled a circle on the earth atounu the funeral pile. He next seized a brand, from the sacred fire and ap plied it to some dried leaves or simi lar combustibles under tbe pyre. That did not set fire to the idle, however, and was not intended to do more than a compliance with the ceremonial: the brand was red, bat not blazing, aud a spark or two only fell from it. Tii<- rekitives were then ,as is usual 211 such cases, led away from the pyre by the friends around, so us to spare tbeit feelings as much as possilnc. YTlie- they were taken a few yards off; ana their backs turned to the pyre, liirgc logs, similar to those at the bate, were : placed over the body, which was completely ooncealeJ, all b it tbe feet, which were lelt exposed either by ac cident or design. The friends applied matches to the sandal-wood brands, and, when they blazed up, set fire to the combustibles. Owing, doubtless, to the dampness of the grounds and occasional'drops of rata, it was a mat ter of some difficulty to get the mm to burn- Gocoanut oil was tlnown on tbe wood, and screens were held by men to regulate the draught, and after a long: interval tha pyre blazed up fiercely.

Oa the one side, it is renouncing old ties, promis ing to begin with faith, aud hope and love u new aud wholly untried exis tence. On the other it is the accep tance of a sacred trust, the covenant to order life anew tin such ways as shell make the happiness of two in stead of one. Can such an occasion be fitting for revelry? Is it not wiser more delicate, to bid ouly the nearest of frieuds to a marriage ceremony, aud leave the_ feasting and frolic for a subsequent time? Wo are sure there are few girls xrkt if they reflect on the seriousness of the step they are about to take, will.not choose to make their vow merely in the limits of the home circle. All onr best instincts point to the absolute simplicity and privacy of wedding services; only a perversion of delicacy could contem plate the asking of crowds of hulf- symputlietic or wholly curious people to attend the fulfillment of most sol emn of contracts. Let there be as much farty-malring, rejoicing and pleasure taking afterwards as hearts desire; bnt let the solemn vows be made in the jiresence of those only nearest an . deal est.—“Home a/ul So ciety;" Scribner for October.

It is an admitted fact, which physi ologists may explain if they can, that women, whatever else they may be, are not inventive in the broadly sci entific sense of the word. On this account we record with satisfaction the announcement that reaches ns from San Francisc >, of a lady of that city who. has invented a new kind w needle, which has the adviutage of the admitting of a finer thread than ordi. ary needles, and making a pro portionately smaller hole in the pro cess of sewing. Res saltation. Someexpeiiments as to how long af ter cessation of the phenomena of life attempts to revixe may be successfully made; have lately , been described by M. Bohn. They were made on cats, lifter injections of potassium salt into the blood. It was ascertained that after 40 minutes' continuation of a state which coaid in no way be dis tinguished from- d-*atb, life may be perfectly restored. The observation deserves attention, in reference to tbe restoration of human subjects; as it considerably extends the limit of time at which death can be certainly af firmed. Another observation was, that artificial. breathing through an opening in tbe windpipe was not suffi cient for restoration; the thorax must also be compressed at the region of the heart. Whether it is the mechan ical stimulation thus imparted to the heart, or the slight variations of pres sure produced in the arterial system, that this is the essential point,, is nn certain; but the compres-ion wos cer tainly as essential as the xenewal o. the air- Central Railroad.
