Iizenplitz, the Minister of Commerce, that of
his only son. Bismarck’s both sons are wound

Schwerin is said to have been killed by the ex
plosion of the citadel of Laon.
The surrender of Metz is not so near as
many anticipate. At least does the appearanoe
of the besieged city, not indicate an early fall.
The bivouacs of the French can be observed
from the German intrenchments. The fortress
is situated in a large valley, protected on three
sides by powerful forts. The French are en
camped inside these fortifications. There is s
continual stir and bustle; bayonets are gleam-
ing in the sun, the soldiers are marching and
drilling os if there were profound peace. Dark
masses are moving to and fro, horsemen are
galoping in all directions, and the military
bands aro playing the most popular airs, which
a favorable breeze vory often wafts over to the
German lines. Most of the villages aronnd
Metz are entirely deserted, almost honse for
home having been transformed into a fortress.
A oharmiDg little castle, Mercy le Haut, near
Metz, belonging to the Vicomte da Goetlosquet,
presented the saddest commentary on the rava
ges of war. Intrenchments had been' thrown
up around the lower stories of the building;
the windows were barricaded by tables, chairs,
fire-screens, marble-slabs, in fact, anything that
might serve the purpose. A large barricade was
erected before the entrance. "While the stern
necessities of war may excuse the destruction
of valuable furniture, for purposes of dofence,
the terrible devastation inside, defying any de
scription, was scandalous. Tho Vicomte is said
to have been opposed to the Empire; a great
many tickets, bearing the inscription “No,”
wero. in fact, still found by the German troops.
The French soldiers, who occupied the building
first, are accused of having made such terrible
havoc with a peaceful home to wreak their ven
geance upon the proprietor. A notice, in French,
pnt np in one of the rooms, and signed by a
German officer, stated that the Germans bad
found the castle in this state. The Vicomte
was evidently a man of superior breeding and
intellect. There was a magnificent library,
filling a whole room; beautifal collections of
seleot engravings and pictures, of coins and dried
plants, a large assortment of select German,
English and Italian musio demonstrated tho
ortis’ic taste of the Vicomte. The house and
grounds were provided with everything a refin
ed and cultivated mind may Irish for to pass his
leisure hours in pursuits of a loftier order. And
what had become of all this ? The floors were
covered with books, drawings, music, picture
frames, wrecks of furniture, old documents,
children’s toys, fragments of ladies' and chil
dren's wearing apparel, all lying about in the
wildest chaos. They had been thrown there
and trodden under foot in mere wautoness. A
part of the collection of dried plants served, at
least, some purpose, the German out-posts us
ing it as ligUtwood. How may the proprietor
feel when he ever thus sees again his quiet and
happy home, where ho had built a temple for
the muses! [Feel, did yon ask? Just as if
Sheridan and his bummers had been there.]
On the evening of September 14, a Prussian
captain presented himself before the French
outposts of Metz to conduct six captive French
officers to the hostile camp in exchange of six
Prussians Marshal B^zaine had returned. When
he expressed hts desire to see the commander-
in-chief, Bazaine, wrapped np in a long riding-
cloak, suddenly emerged from the foremost bi-
vouachut. Making himself known to the oaptain,
he conversed with him for some time, assuriDg
him finally that he did not entertain any thoughc
yet of surrendering Melz.
As an illustration of the lack of organization
in the French commissary, wamay mention tho
fact that, while the army at Sedan wa3 starving,
there were whole trains of provisions in Mont-
medy, only six kilometers from Sedan. Strag
glers broke a part of the cars open, and, after
having indulged in wine and liqaor to their
hearts’ content, let tho casks run out.
It was in the Exchange of Bordeaux that, in
185G, Napoleon pronounced his famous “L’em-
pire e’est la paix.” Tho leadiog business men
of the city caused these words to be engraved
with golden letters upon a marble slab which
was pnt np in the hall of the tribnnal of com
merce. After tho surrender of Napoleon, tliis
table of commemoration was broken in frag
ments by the population.
The London Daily News has reason to believe
that 400,000 rifles and thirty millions of assert
ed cartridges are being mannfactnred in Bir
mingham, Sheffield and L radon on French ac
count. ;
Russian official reports intimato that the St.
Petersburg cabinet is seriously thinking of at
tempting to free Bussia from the obnoxious
conditions of the treaty of Paris on the occasion
of the coming peace negotiations betweenFrance
and Germany. To give weight to her repre
sentations Bussia has armed. Theso facts have
probably originated the reports of a Turco-Bus-
siau war being imminent. We think they are
premature. The unruly populations of Thes-
salia and Albania, Greece, and theVicoroyof
Egypt must have torn first the Turkish empire
asunder, before the Mosoovite will step in to
divide the spoils, reserving to himself tho lion's
share. . _ . .
The population in the environs of Paris have
strictly followed the orders of the Republican
authorities. Everything eatable and drinkable
has disappeared. There reigns a sinister si
lence in the deserted villages. The doors of
tho houses, which have been forced open by
the Germans to quarter themselves there, stand
ajar; pieces of furniture are lying about; the
life-sized likeness ot some remote anoestor over
the chimney, looks angrily upon the invader
dust oovers Uie silken and velvet covers of the
furnituro; the flowers in the rooms are droop
ing ; here and there a half-starved dog watches
tho premises; everywhere there is bnl ruin and
desolation and the stillness of death. Some
times the inhabitants have displayed very little
ingenuity in removing or hiding their provis
ions. In Couilly the German soldiers found a
newly made cement floor in the house of a
tradesman. A pick-axe was soon at hand, and
after the removal of tho bricks an-ample stock
of sausages, hams, cheese, rice, wine. and
liquors greeted the eyes of the agreeably sur
prised warriors. t . „

I said to Lucy one summer night.
As she sat and worked at her wedding gown,
Stitching away in the snneet light,
Which sprinkled gold on her tresses brown—

With Just a quiver upon her brow,
And the white work rustled across her knee,
tihe answered, “The old love remaineth now,
As much as over it was to me:
A dream—a something I could not hold;
A fading fortune of fairy gold.
“And I did nothing that I can blame ;”
And then she rustled her work and sighed.

sooled men have risen from obscurity they will
tarn from those who aided them when low; for
they will feel humiliated by being reminded'of

who, having acceded to supreme power, kindly
remembered all those who had befriended him
in his hours of need. Among these was a Miss
Howard, belonging to the upper class y>f the
“femmes entretenues” in London. She had as

living, he found himself in peouniary embar
rassments.

From the St. Zeuit Democrat, 101A. [
The regular weekly meeting cf the St. Louis
Medical Society was held in hall No. 1, Poly
technic Building, Saturday night. Dr. John T.
Hodges occupied the chair, and Dr. H. Z. Gill
actodas secretary.
Dr. J. T. Edwards, of Union City, Tennessee,
was introduced, and by the permission of the
President, proceeded to narrate some of the
facts connected with tho life of the wonderful
woman known as tu.f
THE SLEETING 35EAUTT,
The Northern Press Upon Gen. Lee.
Supposing that onr readers would feel a strong
interest to see what the Northern presshadto
say about the model soldier and main of his age,
we reprint below several extraota from leading
papers. They are taken in every case from
long editorials, but fairly refieot tbs spirit
of the whole.
The New York Herald has an eloquent notice
which will be read with unalloyed satisfaction.
We take the following from it:
“On a quiet autumn morning, in the land
which he loved so well, and, as he held, served
who is- now in this city. For the benefit of i so faithfully, the spirit of Bobert Edmund Lee
.y t laff IhA gIkv wkiftK it ImiI flnmnnk Aniwtkla/1 and
those of our readers who have ..evtr heard of
this extraordinary case, which has for more than
twenty years puzzled the most eminent physi
cians of this country and Europe, we describe
tho woman and her condi'ion.
Her name is Susan C. Godsey, and she ia
twenty-nine years of age. She was bora in
Ocion county, Tennessee, just across the State
line, and about six miles from Hickman, Ken
tucky.
Her parents were extremely poor, and lived
in a small log honse containing only one room.
Until eight years of age the girl was strong
and healthy,- and seemed in nowise remarkable.
At that age, however, Bhe was
8TBICKEN WITH 1EVKB,
bat was attended by an experienced pbysiolau,
who soon checked the disease. The girl sunk
into a slumber which lasted an unusually long
time, and finally awoko weak, bnt welL To
the surprise of the family and physicians, she
remained awake bnt a fow minntes, when she
again went to sleep. From then until the pres
ent time, twenty-one years and three months,
she has nevor been awake more than eight mi»-
utes at a time.
The lethargic state invariably lasts a certain
number of hoars. She awakens at six o’clock
in the morning and at three and nine o'clock
each night, never varying one-half minute from
the regular time. She takes but very little
nourishment, and that only twice in twenty-four
hours. During the tiino in which she sleeps
SHE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BREATHE, < • . . ■ 1
and a mirror held against her nostrils remains
untarnished. Her breathing, if, indeed, she
breathes at all, is not sufficient to stir the slight
est down suspended against her nostrils by a
silken thread.
When berremarkable condition becnmekn'own
physicians flocked from all parts of the country
to see her. None were able to satisfactorily
account for the phenomenon, although many
theories were advanced. Tho true cause has
never to this day been determined, although the
woman continues alternately to sleep and wake
with the regularity of clockwork. Two physi
cians, Drs. Rhea and Glover, aro now in atten
dance upon her, and although the former has
visited her constantly for sixteen years, he can
still form no opinion regarding the cause.
Sho is rather under medium size, and with
the exception that she is sometimes troubled
when awake with neuralgic pains in her head
and neck and that one arm is slightly paralyzed,
enjoys, as far as she can enjoy anything, good
health.
Her hands are extremely small and delicate,
being scarcely lai gar than those of a child six
years of age. Another remarkable feature in
the case is that while her hair has grown to a
great length, her Huger nails have not grown
any since she was first Btritkan.
HEB APPEARANCE. r'^
As before stated, she is slightly under raedf-
nm hight, and is of slender but graceful figure.
Her face is oval and the head wcil formed. She
has a mass of dark auburn hair, well formed
forehead, dark hazel eyes, fringed with heavy
lashes, well shaped nose, and small mouth. Al
though her complexion is clear and fine, yet
owing to constant confinement toiher bed, her
faoe is so white as to be almost ghastly. Far
from anything repugnant in her appearance,
even while sleeping, she would doubtless be
considered a very pretty girl by those unac
quainted with her condition. She retains what
knowledge she possessed at eight years of age,
bnt has not been awake enough since then to
learn anything more. She knows her relatives
and friends, and converses with them in her
conscious momepte. Before falling asleep a
slight hiccopgh or choking sound proceeds ap
parently from her throat. She then so qniokly
becomes insensible that sho is sometimes unable
to finish a sentence or even's word while talk
ing. When abont to awake the same choking
sound is repeated from her throat a number of
times at regular intervals. 'When this is heard
eleven times without intermission her body
shakes in a spasmodic manner and sho instantly
awakens. Whether asleep or awake her hands
tremble continually.
She is attended by her mother, now an aged
and feeble woman, her brother, her niece and
two physicians, and is temporarily stopping at
tho honse of Mrs. Davis, on Walnut between
Fifth and Sixth streets.
Dr. Edwards stated Saturdaynight before the
Hedioal Society, that ho had known the family
for a number of years, and knew that there was
no deception or humbug. He asked that
A COMMITTEE OF FIVE
might be appointed from the physicians present
to watch tho subject and see that the case was
just as be represented it.
On motion of Dr. H. Z. Gill, the President
appointed the following gentlemen as the Com
mute* :
left the clay which it Jbad so much ennobled and
traveled oat of this world into the great and
mysterious land. Yesterday the expressions of
regret which sprang from the few who sur
rounded the bedside of the dying soldier and
Christian will be swelled to-day into one mighty
voice of sorrow, resounding thronghont onr
country and extending OTer all parte of the'
i world where hts great genius and his many yir-
1 tnes are known. For not to the Southern peo
ple alone shall be limited the tribute of a tear
over the dead Virginian. Here in the North,
forgetting that the time was when the sword of
Bobert Edmund Lee was drawn against ns—for
getting and forgiving all the years of bloodshed
and agony—we have long since ceased to look
npon him as the Confederate leader, bnt bave
claimed his as one of ourselves; have oberished
and felt prond of his militaiy genius as belong
ing to ns; have recounted and recorded his tri-
nmpbs as our own; have extolled his virtues as
refleeting honor upon us—for Bobert Edmund
Lee was an American, and the neat nation
which gave him birth would be to-day unworthy
of such a son if she regarded him lightly.
Never had a mother a nobler son. In him
the military genius of America was developed
to a greater extent than ever before. In him
all that was pure and lofty in mind and purpose
found lodgment. Dignified without presump
tion, affable without familiarity, he united all
those charms of manners which made him the
idol of his friends and of his soldiers, and won
for him the respect and admiration of the world.
Even as in the days of his triumph, glory did
not intoxicate, so when the dark clouds swept
over him adversity did not depress. From the
hour that he surrendered Us. sword' at Appo
mattox to the fatal autnmu' morning,'he passed
among men noble in bis quiet, simple dignity,
displaying neither bitterness nor regret over’the
irrevokable past. He conquered us in misfor
tune by the grand manner in which he sustain
ed himself, even as he dazzled ns by his genins
when the tramp of his soldiers resounded
through the valleys of Virginia.
And for snch a man we are all in tears and
sorrow to day, Standing beside his grave, men
of the South and men of the North can mourn
with alt the bitterness of four years of warfare
erased by the common bereavement. May this
unity of grief—this unselfish manifestation over
the loss of the Bayard of America—in the sea
son of dead leaves and withered branches which
this death ushers in, bloom and blossom like
the distant coming spring into the flowers of a
heartier accord!” ,, :
The New York Times reviewing Lee’s career
in the Federal service says:
Thus far the career of. Colonel Lee had been
one of honor and the highest promise. In every
service whioh bad been intrusted to his hands
he had proved efficient, prompt end faithful,
and his merits had always been readily acknowl
edged and rewarded by promotion. He was
regarded by his superior officers as one of the
most brilliant and promising men in the army
of the United States. His personal integrity
was well known, and Ms loyalty and patriotism
was not donbted. Indeed, it was in' view of the
menaoes of treason and the dangers which
threatened the Union that he had received his
last promotion, but lie seems to bave been thor
oughly imbued with that pernioious doctrine
that his first and highest allegiance was dne to
the State of his birth.
"When Virginia joined the ill-fated movement
of secession from the Union, he immediately
threw np his commission in the Federal army
and offered bis sword to the newly formed Con
federacy. He took this step, protesting his own
attachment to the Union, bnt deelariDg that his
sense of duty would never permit him to “raise
Us hand against his relatives, Us children, and
his home.’ - In his torewell letter to General
Scott, he spokeof the struggle whioh tUs step
had cort him, and his wife declared that he
“wept tears of bldod over this terrible war.”
There are probably few who doubt the sincerity
of his protestation, bnt thousands have regret
ted, and his best friends will ever have to regret
the errors of judgment, the false conception of
the allegiance due to his Government and his
country, which led one'so rarely gifted to cast
Us lot with traitors, and devote his Bplendid
talents to the execution of a wioked plot to tear
asunder and ruin the Bepublie in whose services
his life had hitherto been spent.
The York World says:
Every man is to be judged, so far as human
judgment may be passed npon him at all, by
the tenor of the motivea to, whioh the main cur
rent of his days has responded. Judged by this
standard, the career of Bobert Lee must com
mand the deliberate admiration even of those
who most earnestly condemn the coarse upon
which he decided in the most solemn and im
perative crisis of his life. Of his genins as a

The New York Son has a very long article in
the nature of a biographical sketch of Lee’s ca
pacity as a soldier. The Snn says:
It is not necessary to trace General Lee’s ca
reer through the four years’ war, to which this
waa the prelude, and in which it is but juBt to
say that he displayed military ability and genius
of the very highest order, and won a reputation
that will live in history for all time. It is but
recently, and in the light of the great conflicts
now deluging France with blood, tnat a British
authority pronounced General Lee the greatest
general of the age. The passions aroused by
the desperate struggle in which he performed
so oonspicnons a part are not yet snffioientlj.
allayed in this country to enable Americans to
jndge impartially as to Us merits in comparison
with those of the prominent actors on the
Union side; but while there is no dissent to his
title to a rank among the greatest of them in
military ability, there is also no dispute as to
Us superiority over all who served the Southern
cause. i
And the San concludes its article as follows :>
His death will awaken most profound and
honest manifestations of grief throughout the
entire South, and very many people in the
North will forget political differences' beside
the open grave of the dead chieftain, and drop
a tear of sorrow on Us bier. And whatever
may be the verdict as to his career in public
life, the universal expression will bo that in
Gen. Lee an able soldier, a sinoere Christian,
and an honest man has beon taken from earth.
The 8t. Louis Republican says: (
As a soldier, General Lee, may be rated as
among tbe very best America has ever produc
ed, bnt the lustre of his achievements in the
field is outshone by the purer and brighter
light of a spotless private charaotar. He was,
in the highest and beet sense of the phrase, a
Christian gentleman. Actuated by no mean
ambitions, influenced by no petty jealousies,
ba was ever gnided by what he believed to be
the dictates of duty; and, though there will be
always a wide diversity of opinion as to Us
oonduct in relation to our civil struggle, even
his bitterest enemies have never called in ques
tion the honesty of the' motives wMch led him
to fight beneath the banner of tho South. Since
the termination of the war, Us oonrse has com
mended itself to the approbation of all,
Tbe St. Lonis Democrat (radical) in. the
course of a long article has the following re-
mark :
His best judgment is well known to have con
demned the course of the seoeseionists, and
when with ill-concealed hesitaaoy and; misgiv
ings he first drew his sword against tho country
of his fa! hers, he declared that he fought only
for his State, and would join no war for a new
‘Confederacy. But tho first mistaken step in
volved his subsequent career, and precipitated
him into an abyss of rebellion from which he
would at first have recoiled. He was an ac
complished soldier and a noble man—but only
noble as frail mortals are, with serious failures
of judgment and weaknesses of will. The rev-
erenee sod affection he inspired attest the fine
qualities of his heart, and the confidence repos
ed in him, as well as his protracted and stub
born defense of the Confederacy against supe
rior armies, and At least equal generalsUp,
prove his mental power.
A WO.kDEItH L CASE.
A Thief Strlpned end Almost Licked to
Death by Cows. ■ 1
A gentleman residing in the suburbs of Pitts
burg, Pa., has an orchard of very choice fruit,
and he was greatly annoyed by trespassers, who
would visit tbe orchard at night and oariy off large
quantities of the apples and other fruit. One
morniDg two men passing along the road saw a
man lying under a tree in the orchard, and near
the roadside. He wab covered with blood, and
his clothing reduced to mere .tatters. At -first
it was supposed that the man was dead,
but moans were heard, and the men went over
to ascertain’what was the'matter. They found
the man almost exhausted and unable to move
himself. They prooured water, and after giv
ing the injured man a drink, be recovered suf
ficiently to tell them his name and place of res
idence. He declined at first to tell them how
he came to be iq .the oonditioq he was fonnd,
but was finally persuaded to give an explanation.
He told them that he had visited the orob&rd
for the purpose of obtaining some apples, and
had climbed np a tree to prevent detection.
While engaged in picking the fruit, he sud
denly missed his. foothold and fell to the
ground. He was rendered unconscious, but
did not know how long he remained so. When
he recovered his consciousness he felt no pain,
but on attempting to rise found that one arm
and one leg were paralyzed. He did not call
for assistance for fear he would be arrested, and
concluded that he would remain nntil morning.
He soofi felt a drowsy sensation, and would
have fallen asleep bnt for a noise which aroused
him, and upon looking up saw two cows near
by. The animals advanced toward him, and
one of them commenced licking Us face and
hands. He tried to drive them off, but they had
tasted tbe brackish perspiration whioh covered
his hands and face, and he fonnd it impossible to
frighten them. His tormentors persisted in lick
ing him, and finally commenced tearing off his
ooat and flannel shirt, thus enlarging the ex
posed surface. This process was oantinued until
his body was almost denuded, and the flesh lac
erated by the teeth of the animals. The licking

September 18, 1870. f
Mt Dear * * * We have been for the last
three days coming in a carriage over the Spin-
gen Pass in the Alps, arriving at this place at
4 o'olock. We started ou Wednesday from Zu
rich in a steamer to the upper end of that lake,
where we took rail to to Bagatz. This is a wa
tering place of considerable note, and tttt hotels
are magnificent and the grounds delightful Had
I known what a pleasant place it was, I should
have made my arrangements to Bpend a day at
two there, bnt in passing I only stopped long
enough to visit the “Pfafier Baths, ’ a very m
markable sight in the neighborhood. Tbe spring
is at the head of a gorge in the mountain, about
a half mile deep, and from ten to twenty feet
wide. In some places the sides, whioh town
six hundred feet over your head, almost meet
at the top. So you may imagine what a gloomy
vale it must be.
ThespriDg is reached by a gallery of wood
fastened to the sides of the preoipice some forty
feet above the river, which flows through the
gorge; and though perfectly safe, yon can bnt
feel a dread lest the great mountain should
again close its jaws, for so many centuries
opened for the passage of this stream. The
water of this spring has a temperature of one
hundred degrees, F ahrenheit, and the chamber
in the io&k where tbe basiu has been excavated
is so warm as to compel a retreat in a few mo
ments. There is another spring only a few feet
distant, the water of which Bhows a tempore-
tore of fifty degrees, a vast difference, and
showing how distinct are the sources of supply’.
We return to Bagatz and take the cars again
for Coire (German “Cheer”) where we arrive
in half on hour. This is the end of the railroad^
and we next morning took a carriage and began
onr journey over the Alps, by one of its grandf-
est passes, perhaps the grandest of them all—
tho Spingen. .. . .
I should have mentioned that our old-'friVtfds,
the Plants, of St. Lonis, who came OTeviiF'flB
“China" with us. joined ns at Ztuieh,^ar)d-
still with us. The scenery for the ficst half iff
the ride was truly magnificent, but nothing
more than we had seen frequently in the last
month; bnt after passing Lusis, we enter the
“via mala" which, indeed, must be: seen to.bh
understood. How a road could be carried
along such a gorge, only the engineer who bufl^
it can tell. For more than three miles th© rokfl
is hewn out of the side of a perpendicular *MK
of rook; sometimes on one side and then art Air©
other of a gorge not more than one huqdtyd
feet wide in the widest part, and often not
more than twenty-four hundred feet below rnflis
the classic Rhine, here only a rivulet in width,
but a foaming torrent, scarcely audible at so
great a distance. We stopped on a bridge
looked down npon the river below, almost lost
to sight in the deep distance, and amused our
selves by dropping stones, and counting til©
seconds before they reached th£ water. . Tbe
average was a little over five seconds, w^ioh
gives a height of 400 feet, agreeing with the
books, and the Mghest bridge I ever saw. iW
In some places the road is in a gallery hewn
out of the rock whioh towers over your head for
thousands of feet. The labor expended on this
road is incredible, and yet there are many more
almost as stupendous all through Switzerland.
From this point to the village of Splugen,
where we passed the night, the scenery is over
powering in its constantly varying grandeur
and subl'mity; but I must reserve a full de
scription until I see you face to face. At 8plu-
gen we found comfortable quarters, good fires,
end weathor as “cold as Splugen,” considering
it was only September. The next morning we
started at 10 o clock for the top of the moun
tain, which we reached about noon. Hero we
passed into Italy, in a snow storm, on the 16th
September; whioh may be readily believed,
when you are informed that it is 7,000 feet
above the sea level. —
A little below the summit, ou this side is the
Italian Custom-House, where our trunks were
passed unopened by a “douceur” of a couple of
francs, and our paseports wero not called for.
At four o’clock we had descended to Chieveuna
600 feet lower by somethiny less than a million
zig-zags, down the face of almost a precipice. I
thought the road exhibited engineering skill on
the other side of the mountain, bnt that was
child’s play to that on this side. The idea of
bringing a carriage at a full trot down the face
of a preoipice was somewhat astonishing,
though wonders are common things in this re*
markable country. The third day, after a drive
of three hours, we reaohed the Lake of Como,
at a place called Colioo, where we took the boat
for this point, acknowledged to be the prettiest
on the Lake. The view from the villa just in
the rear of the hotel is oertainly .unsurpassable,
and I suspeot it is the point from whioh Mark
Twain saw it. See picture of Like Como in
his book.- I am not at all disappointed here af
ter seeing all the Swiss lakes, and I shall sound
the praises of “Como” and, be haunted by
pleasant memories of its olive groves and charm
ing villas as long as life lasts. Here the weath
er is charming, jost cool enough to be pleasant
without fire. To-morrow we go via the lake of
Maggiore and to Milan, wMoh we will reach on
Tuesday night We are all perfectly well.
The Gbxat Tbxes or Caufobnia.—A Cali
fornia correspondent of the Charleston Conner
has the following:
One of onr big trees has been out down and
is to be forwarded East for exMbition. Bar
naul, I believe, is the-projector of the scheme,
the difficulties of which would certainly, deter
a less enterprising man. The one selected is in
Fresno county, and although' by no means a
giant amongst giants, it will give those who see
it s good idea of the mammoth proportions
sometimes attained by our forest kings.
After being felled it took three saws fastened
together, (making in length twenty-four feet,)
with two men to each handle, four days to saw
off the butt.ont. The diameter of the stomp is
twenty-three feet six inches, without bark, and
the annual rings indicate an age of 1,500 years.
Three men aocomjilished the felling in five and
„ a half days, but cutting at the roots, which
with tbe rasp-like tongues was continued until were interlaid like the consoles in the human
blood oozed from his arms, breast and face,
and tbe unfortunate victim sunk away from
mere: exhaustion, after using every exertion
in his power to keep the animals away. The
men were convinced that the statement was
true, and it was corroborated by the ap
pearance of the man. They immediately con
veyed Um to his home, and a physician sum
moned to attend him. Tbe treatment at first
was directed to the lacerations of the flesh, but
before these were healed it was found Chat the
fall had affected some of the internal organs,
one of which was ruptured. The man was sub
sequently removed to a hospital, where he is
still under treatment, although no hopes of his
recovery are entertained.
A Strange Story.—A young man In New

and chain, a broken ring, a gold thimble, a
locket containing an elderly man’s portrait, a
slip of paper, and in a' beautiful female hand
written these words: “I have waited and wait
