Attempted Borgrlary in Rutland. On the Macon and Hawkinsville ^ven miles from this city, Mrs. £• ■earce conducts a small mercantile busi- On Thursday night Mr. Fearce (turned home very late from his duties juryman, and went into the store in order J|o be sure that all was safe, and the house ■properly closed. On examination I found that the screws securing one of |hin"es of the door, bad all been extracted I save one, wnich was sufficiently removed I to allow easy access to a burglar. A I certain negro boy named Jerry Parker, I alias Tom Parker, and alias Lewis Lucas, I was suspected, and on being closely ques- I tioned, confessed to having committed tin act, preparatory to burglarizing the store, I jj r , pearce consented to allow him to gc free, provided he would leave the county and not return; and in order to be cer- | lain that he did leave, Mr. Pearce, Mr. Martin, and the father of the latter, rompanied the would-be thief some dis- ! lance towards Macon. On the way he confessed to having accomplice, and when in about ten paces of tlie Southwestern railroad bridge spann ing Tobesofkee creek, Pearce and the younger Martin halted in conversation about the matter, leaving Jerry in the custody of the elder Martin, who stepped on the track within the bridge. In few minutes the negro gave Mr. Martin heavy blow, prostrating liim and very nearly pitching him headlong into the stream below, a distance of fifteen or twenty feet. The other two partfes ran immediately to the rescue, finding Mr. Martin severely hurt, and the darkey gone. Mr. Martin narrowly escaped death. The darkey came on to Macon, and yes terday he was identified on Bridge row by a darkey from the neighborhood In which he lived, and the younger Martin, and pointed out to officer Mosoly, who prompt ly arrested him and lodged him in the bar racks. The darkey will probably be bound over for an assault. Mr. Martin was, at last accounts, still In bed from the injuries received. lie is quite an old and infirm gentleman. We hope the ^dar. key will get a full measure of justice meted out to him. A Kumpiu In Bessie Darling's Com- panjr. There seems to have been a derange ment in the Bessie Darling troupe (which played in Macon a short time since) at Meridian, Miss. The Mercury of that city mentions it in an article from which we extract the following. We pre sume that the actor referred to is George F. DeVere, wligse mediocre presentation of the character of Clifford in the Hunch back was remarked by many. The other members of the troupe seemed to play for all they were worth. It might be remarked in passing, that the fair Bessie herself gave a good deal of trouble to the hotel men of this city by what ap peared to he captious particularity when she was here: “It was stated in our last issue that Mr. Darling, of the Bessie Darling combina tion, had a difficulty with one of his ac tors at the Central Hotel, after the play of evening before last, in which he re sented an insult, in calling him a liar, very promptly by peeling him over the eye with his fist, etc. Mr. Darling was in the city yesterday, and desired us to make an explanation which is due the audience, for the sloucliy and imperfect manner in which the peace was rendered, greatly to the annoyance and mortification of the management. He observed the indificr- cnce of some of his actors to the full and fair rendering of their respective parts, and the annoyance It was giving Bessie Darling, who was troubled to get on with her part for the want of proper support, ana went behind the scenes to remedy the trouble. He met this same man who had just left, the stage after cutting his part. He remonstrated witli him, and he replied by saying these people didn’t know the difference whether the play was rendered in full or not, or imperfectly rendered, thus showing a sort of contempt for the audience. • ••••••• Some angry words were said between them. The man denounced him as a liar, and for his insolence he checked him through to New York with a black eye.” Bond Commissioners. The following citizens were yesterday elected road commissioners of Bibb county to fill expired terms by the Grand Jury which Is now In session. The names will be handed in open court this morning by the Jury: East Macon District.—Henry B. Davis, William H. Flectcher, John Y. Lowe. Upper City.—Green J. Blake, William A. Crutchfield. Lower City.—Robert L. Henry, William H. Mansfield. Vinevllle.—William S. Brantly. Godfrey.—J. W.Nisbet. Howard.—Robert Price. Rutland—James S. McGee, Henry Willis. Warrior.—William Long. Hazard.—Samuel C. Cliamles. Under the management of the last board of commissioners the roads of the county have been kept up to a high standard of excellence. In fact the county is noted in Middle Georgia as having the best pub lic highways of any county in this section, We have no fear but that the board above named will keep the roads up to their present standard. County Court. Yesterday two more recruits were sent from the County Court to reinforce the chain gang. Frank White, colored, whose perfor- ancesin systematically robbing Messrs. Wolffe & Bro. of hides, were noticed a few days since, was tried for the offense of larceny from the house, found guilty and sentenced to eleven months in the chain gang. He was arrested on Thursday by Mr. E. A. Ross, of tlio County Court. The darkey at first lied to Columbus but returned a day or two since. The case was well worked up by Officer Wrye, of the police force. Henry Payton, colored, was tried for a like offense and found guilty. He was sentenced to four months on the public works. Jane Stafford and Bill Mitchell were before the court charged with the offense of riot. The case was not fully made out and the defendants were accordingly dis charged, —Colonel Fred Graut, A. D. C., who is swinging round with “Pa,” caught the orange fever while in Florida and invested in the golden spheres. —Neoro Emigrants Dying in Kan sas.—There have been a number of deaths lately among the colored refugees at the barracks near Topeka, Kansas. Bodies have been left at the burylag- ground three or four days before being in terred. —Illinois Wheat Crop.—Advance sheets from the crop of the State Board of Agriculture show that the winter wheat average sown In Ulinois is 2,658,826, or 25 per cent, greater than last year, and considerably larger than the average of a ny proceeding year. | MACON VOLUNTEERS’ FAIR. Another Nncceufnl Evening: - Bril, linnt Proopoeta. of the Enterprise. The strong hold which the Volunteers have upon the affections of the people of Macon was never more fully illustrated than last evening at the armory of the company. The crowd in attendance on the fair was much larger than on the pre ceding evening, and the scene was one of rare beauty and brilliance. Ladies in tasteful and appropriate toilets moved about the hall using all their in fluence for the Volunteers, and meeting with a prompt and generous response from those present. Others, frontbehind their beautifully arranged tables, supplied the wants of all who desired anything in the most becoming and graceful maimer. In the restaurant, the attractions of this naturally attractive place were made doubly so by those who served the tables, and each fair waiter acquitted herself both gratefully and well. Many raffles took place last evening. Mr. T. S. Freeman, of Savannah, won a beautiful sofa pillow, which has attrac ted much attention, Mrs. A. T. Newsom, a handsome silver toilet set; Mr. Carlton, of Twiggs county, a bottle of champagne. Four or five other bottles of champagne were also disposed of here in like manner. At the cigar stand several interesting raffles took place. Among them were the camp chair donated by Mrs. Thomas Wood, and won by Mr. W. M. Good; a set of silver knives and forks, won by Mrs. Thomas Wood. This table did sur prisingly well,and, at an early hour of the evening, its sales footed up some $75. The domestic venture table proved no small attraction. Mr. S. B. Price won another ham. Mr. Gustin and Mr. Peter and many otl'crs drew valuable prizes, almost sweeping away the stock of the table. To-day from the very extensive re serve stock in the ball, the table will be re-supplied for this evening. All articles having been donated, the prizes are liberal and attractive. At this table a ten dollar United States bond, presented by Messrs. Lockett and Bond, was rallied and won by Mr. J. J. Clay. The Fruit and Flower table did a great business, and so well managed was it that even at the close of the evening its ap pearance was as attractive as ever. Above it is suspended a silver horse shoe, from the centre of which depends a bunch bf grapes, while around it are clusters ofify leaves. An* exquisite silver fruit stand was won here by Mrs. J. M. Johnson, and a beautiful basket of flowers, by Miss Daisy Freeman. The table of Mrs. Manghamcamo in for its share of admiration and patronage. Here are still to be raffled a handsome bird cage and canary, a beautiful Afghan, and a number of other valuable articles. The art gallery was opened to specta tors and proved a great feature. In it are seventy-nine art illustrations of the richest and rarest description. Some things in it are truly ludicrous, and those who fail to see the gallery will have visi ted the fair in vain. It is under the di rection of Mrs. General Armstrong, as sisted by Miss Yillapigue. The polls were opened last evening and for a while the balloting was lively. The managers of the election are Misses Katie Drane and Daisy Huff. The balloting at the close of the fair stood for the most popular young gentleman—prize ,a gold headed cane—W. H. Woodson, 105; J.. Emanuel, 98. Mr. Emanuel declines to run hut his friends will run him anyway For the most popular officer matters were more mixed and the vote stood: Captain Carnes, 10; Lieutenant Connor, 6; Captain Hardeman, 10; Captain McManus, 17; Captain Ross, 9. The general appearance of the hall is truly handsome. Gracefully arranged on two entire sides is a canopy made of al ternating red,white and blue strips, beauti fully scalloped, while from every available point countless banners flutter to every movement of the air. Festoons of §reen appropriately arrangeu complete the scene. . * The restaurant last evening was crowd ed most of the time, and in addition to the viands of the previous evening e’egant oysters were served. The fair will again open at four o’clock this afternoon, and lunch will be served at any hour after one o’clock to-day. In addition to the contributions ack nowledged yesterday the ladies of the res taurant department return thanks for the following articles enumerated, which were sent in yesterday; all highly appre ciated by the ladies conducting this impor tant department of the fair: Mrs. A.

A Strangled Horae. Mr. J. F. Mosely when driving his fine horse and new turn out through East Macon yesterday morning, experi enced a singular accident. The collar of the harness being too tight, the animal was choked so severely that he fell in the shafts, breaking both of them, and dam aging the harness. The horse sustained but little injury, and recoverd almost im mediately. This kind of accident is not an uncommon one, aud seems to arise from a sort of temporary strangulation.

Another Highly Sneeeoatal Evening. The attendance on the fair of the Ma con Volunteers at the armory of the com pany last evening was surprisingly large, especially when it is remembered it was Saturday night. The crowd seems to have been in no way affected by this fact, and remained large to the very hour of closing. All of the ladies engaged in the fair were very industrious, and the gentlemen «nlisted in their cause, active in their as sistance. Fair ladies moved about the hall, and the slightest request to take a chance was met with ready response. A gentleman from Atlanta, who. was present, took a survey of the hall, its crowd, pretty ladies and gallant looking gentlemen, and turned to a companion and remarked that he was just from the Library Fair in that city, and it could not begin to compare to the Volunteers 1 Fair. Last evening all of tha tables did re markably well. ■ 1 1 At the cigar stand, whose attractive beauty is admired by all, the scene was one of busy activity. One of the ladies in charge of it, by her own exertions, made over twenty-five dollars last evening. Here one of the most elegant sofa cush ions everseen in Macon, presented by Mrs. R. H. Flanders, was raffled 3nd won by Captain J. L. Hardeman. A number of bottles of champagne were also raffled off besides smaller articles. At Mrs. Mangham’s table the handsome bird cage and canarf was won by Mr. Virgil Powers, Jr. Miss Viola Rodgers won a handsome afghan, and an elegant basket of flowers was won by Miss'Laura Lovejoy, of Atlanta, at the same table. The chances on a complete set of “Pic turesque Europe,’.’ on this table, are now being made up, and it will be raffled very soon. It is among the most elegant arti cles at the fair. - • At the Domestic Venture table many valuable prizes wore drawn. Mr. S. B. Price drew a watch, ham, can of lard and many other articles of value. A beautiful china chamber set was won at the Fruits and Flowers table by Mr. Ed Isaacs. Miss Annie Harris here won a beautiful basket of flowers. Nearly the whole stock of fruitswos sold out, and the supply on Monday will be entirely fresh. Among the handsome things at this table still undlsposed of is a satin damask table cloth valued at.twenty- five dollars. * In the shooting gallery some fancy shooting was done. Mr. Donnio Jones and John Horton made bull’s eyes, aim ing the rifle with the aid of a mirror, their hacks being toward the targets. A lively contest was made for the hale of cotton. The announcement was made that any one paying ten cents, and throw ing fifty with three dice in three throws, should take the bale, had the effect of bringing in a flood of dimes. The bale is still undisposed of. The Old Volunteers table disposed of many small articles. Mr. Oscar Thom son won a very pretty cake hero. The handsome dinner set and Webster’s Una- briged Dictionary to be raffled at this table are under the special charge of Mrs. J. B. Brown. On to-morrow evening several large raffles will take pla& at this table. In the restaurant great success crowned the efforts of the ladies in charge. The ladies of tlio restaurant make ac knowledgments for the following contri butions: Mrs. S. S. Dunlap, cream and milk; Mrs. Dr. F. M. Kennedy, turkey and loaf bread; Mrs. G. B.

Pi the evening the atten dance is expected to be immense. TheTwlffga Comity FotMnl*( Case. From a gentleman from Twiggs county, we learn that the recent attempted poi soning in Twiggs county, in which an ef fort was made to poison the whole family of Mr. C. R. Faulk, which was mentioned in this column at the tune, excited a good deal of indignation throughout the county. The attempt was so well planned that it was only by mere chance that serious con sequences did not follow. Our informant suggests that if .tlio party was known there is no telling what would, happen to him. Since the occurrence every effort has been used to discover the person making the attempt. Suspicion rests strongly against two darkies, hut not strongly enough against either to warrant an arrest. Be sides the darkey on Mr. Faulk’s place, who was mentioned as being under the ban of suspicion, a darkey by the name of Aaron Clark is also suspected. He is hiding out, and alleges as the reason that some unknown party, one night recently, shot at him while he was standing in his doorway. He is reported also to have re ceived some strychnine from another dar key, a short time previous to the ptisoning attempt. The dead ly character of the mixture was shown by a small portion being administered to a cat, producing death in a few moments. lim'iutrl. Montezuma will soon have a fine hotel.

An Offlee to be Opened In ttaa Yesterday the report was circulated that the Louisville aud Nashville railroad had rented the store on the comer of Seo- ond and Mulberry streets, and intended to open therein a ticket office. The re port was soon found to be true. The rep resentative of the read yesterday conclud ed a contract with the owner of the build ing, renting the store opposite the Court House-until the first of October. It will be fitted up in elegant style. The con tract for the internal arrangements has been given out. The road’s intention of opening an office n Macon gave rise to all sorts of specula tion. Some seemed to think a coalition had been formed with the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company and the office gave indications of an early com mencement of the extention to Atlanta. Many other theories, equally as probable, were expressed. The only" thing defi nitely known, however, is the fact that the place had been rented by the repre sentative of the road named above until next October. IHitrcwlog Casualty at Gordon. Yesterday, about 12:30 o’clock, Mr. Jackson Daniel, a young man aged about twenty-four years, while returning from hunting met with a -fatal accident. It seems that he was shifting his gun from one hand to the other and the hammer, striking his left knee, the contents of the gun were discharged into his neck, sever ing the jugular vein and carotid artery, the charge passing out behind his right ear. He died instantly. He has been married a year and two’ days, and leaves a wife and infant. Mr. Daniels was an excellent young man, well liked by all, and the suddenness of his death has profoundly impressed the community. A THEN OP FORTUNE'S WHEEL. Charleston to he the Entrepot of the Trade of the West - A special dispatch to the Charleston JCeica and Courier, from New York, dated Thursday evening, says: The unusual demand during the la3t few days for South Carolina railroad stock and unsecured bonds is explained at last. A syndicate of New York capi talists, prominent among whom are Sam uel Sloan, President- of the Delaware and Lackawanna railroad, Moses Taylor and Richard Lathers, has been formed for the purpose Of taking control ot the South Carolina railroad and ’releasing it from the litigation which now keeps it in the custody of the United States Court, with the view to making it without delay the terminal link in the chain of roads which shall connect the great railroad systems of the West with the Atlantic seaboard at Charleston. If the plans of the Syndicate are carried out, the road is to be managed witli such energy as will speedily render Charles ton the leading shipping port south of York. Sixty miles of road are to be built iromeaiately to connect the South Caro lina railroad via Spartanburg, Henderson and Wolf creek with the Cincinnati South ern road. A fleet of new and splendid steamers is to be placed on the New York and Charleston line. These, it is said, will eclipse those now plying on the Sa vannah line, and are intended, amongst Other things, to accommodate the Florida trade. . i The Syndicate already own about 40,- 000 shares of the stock of the South Caro lina Railroad Company, one of its mem bers alone holding 20,000 shares. They do not look to any unfair combination with other roads, but expect to win success by dint of the completion of the shortest and most direct route from the Ohio River to the Atlantic seaboard. They say that the March re port will show the South Carolina Rail road to be in excellent financial condition. This afternoon 13.50 was freely offered for South Carolina Railroad stock, but holders were asking 14, with a light otter ing. floor. Smiley- stood outside, .peeping around a door post, with only a part of his head exposed. Alexander nervously lifted the weapon, took-deliberate aim and fired. The ball plowed along the post be hind which Smiley stood, half burying it self, and striking Smiley in the forehead went through his brain. Smiley fel dead, and Alexander, turning, sank from loss of blood. A large crowd witnessed the encounter, and tbe greatest of excitement prevailed. The wonder isthat several men were not killed, for when Smiley .fired the six shots the sidewalk was crowded with people. The weapons used were not parlor pistols, but the brand used to kill, almost regard less of distance. One of the', balls from Smiley’s pistol went through a signboard and burial itself in another.. The mark on the door-post, made by the ball which killed Smiley, is fully six feet from the sidewalk. Nine men out of. ten would have escaped, as the deadly missile would have passed harmlessly over. Alexander, at last accounts, was suffer ing greatly, and is not expected to live. Held for FovUce. A letter for Charlie S. Drake, Milledge- ville, Georgia, is held for postage in the Macon post-office. A Sensible Canadian.

Leap Year Party in Cotfabert. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The crowning event in the social season of Cuthbert transpired Thursday evening. The leap year party, for which the young ladies made great preparations, dawned upon the fortunate participants iu all its glory, and eclipsed any entertainment of preceding years. It was a triumphant success, the weather being propitious and even lair Luna seemed to vie with the young ladies in their efforts to make this affair one of unsurpassed beauty, causing sentimentality to flow in an increasing stream from the tongues of the assembled throng, at the residence of our highly es teemed and popular citizen, J. McK. Gunn, Esq. At the appointed hour the ladies dashed up to the city hotel in an omnibus which was of large proportions, hut the party also being quite immense, in fact .quite too many for comfort, necessarily caused a compact body of beauty, chivalry and mirth. The ’bus arrives at its destination and the precious cargo disembarks and takes the magnificent mansion of Mr. Gunn by storm. On entering the vestibule the eye is attracted by a very pretty floral de coration suspended in graceful curves un der an arch, and pendant hi the centre was the motto “welcome.” It stood out in hold relief though voiceless, spoke through the eyes to the heart. The guests were ■ot long in finding themselves in hospita ble hands. The spacious aud handsomely furnished parlors were indeed a picture for admiration; the elegant toilets, the fas cinating ladies, and last hut not always (?) least, the “boys,” whose hearts were open for invasion, and right royally and gallantly did the “girls” perform their duty and adhere to their rights. Cupid’s darts were scattered broadcast, and should all the contraets entered into be bona fide, tbe Ordinary of this county would reap a rich harvest. Antonio Cutro’s string band from Columbus furnished the music, and it was grand, soul-inspiring and seemed to transport one to ethereal realms where everlasting bliss reigned supreme. The music, combined with the elocutionary powers of the ladies, had a tendency to melt many hearts of the sterner sex, and to keep them charmed, and *o completely under their control that a “yes” would be forthcoming upon short notice. The hour of twelve arrives, the banquet is spread, and the merry crowd, in solid phalanx, form to attack the elegant feast; which would require an able pen, with finished touch, to describe. Suffice it to say, that the most fastidious could havo their appetites satiated. The decorations upon the table made a goijjeous display ai d reflected credit on the fair hands that arranged them. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. A. L. Hamilton, D.D.

Fred. Grant and his wife, General Phil Sheri dan, Ills wife, and two young ladies. As the Admiral entered, a small steamer be longing to the Navy Department, and carrying General Arias, Civil Governor of the Province of Havana, and Confidential Adjutant of Captain General Blanco, and several staff officers; Henry C. Hall, Uni ted States Consul; and a number of Amer ican citizens, among them General Webb, proceeded to meet the Admiral, which they boarded.

On landing the party entered carriages belonging to the Captain Gen eral, and were driven to the palace, where, after their reception at the foot of the staircase, by General Callejas, Vice General, and Joaquin Canbonell, Secre tary of the Government, they entered and inspected the palace. The party then sought repose from the fatigues of the voyage. All appear to be in excellent health, and said they had a pleasant.trip.

' Arkansas Gaxette.l • «?>Mr. H. Thomas has just arrived in the city from Hot Springs, and having been a witness of -the desperate encounter which recently occured between Colonel Robert Alexander and Colonel Smiley, at that place, gives the facts, which we spread before our readers: Colonel Alexander and Colonel Smiley were prominent claimants of mining lands in Silver City. Some dispute - arose as to the claim. Being unable to settle it satis factorily, the' "dispute augmented into a quarrel, and the quarrel into violent threats. It was well known that both parties were men of nerve. Smiley ha'd won a reputation of being desperate In a personal encounter. Alexander, though he had never been credited with shedding blood, was considered a man with whom it would not be safe to trifle. All efforts to settle the misunderstanding failed, and those who were - acquainted .with the cir cumstances expected . that bloodshed would he 1 the "ultimate result! Several days ago, the day when the encounter took place, Smiley came to Hot Springs. Alexander was in the town. Smiley went to the hank and. asked of the cashier; “Have you seen'Alexander?” v : ■ The cashier - replied ; that he had not seen him, hut. understood that he was in town. “I am going to kill him before four o’clock,” exclaimed Smiley, and, turning, left the bank. Alter leaving the bank lie had not gone far when he met Alexander. The furious aspect immediately assumed by each man illustrated the^fact that vio-, lence would " ensue. “Alexander drew' a large revolver, and, rushing upon Smiley, struck him over the head. Smiley stag gered back and drew a French self-cocking revolver, and withe rapidity almost beyond the capacity of enumeration, fired six shots at Alexander. Three shots took effect a ball striking each arm and another, going through the lungs. Alexander’s pistol dropped from his hand- Ue-_>ttempt> ed to recover it, but bisj right arm had been paralyzed by the wJL He grasped it with his left hand, but the left arm having been also wounded, be was unable to cock tbe weapon. Smiley was Don’t delay, always on time, for pre vention is better than cure. -All coughs and "colds and such affections of the throat and lungs as lead to consumption, are cured by Dr. Bull’s C’ough Syrup. The Maine Embroglio. The early telegrams of yesterday repre sent at length some dagger-, of .a.collision of force between the Republicans and Fusionists before long; but we trust and believe they will think better of it before any blood is shed. The real danger, we apprehend, consists of tha large numbers of armed partisans of both sides, In the same place, to breed excitement'and ani mosity to fever heat and create the peril of a chance collision, which would natur ally result in a general row. Where State elections covering 'the whole subject-matter in controversy take place, as they do in Maine, every year, there is no reasonable excuse for pushing their quarrel to the extremity of warfare A fight is the most unreasonable method of settlement, and will bring disgrace and disaster, not only on Maine, but injury to the whole country by discrediting tfie bal lot as an effectual and healthful method bf settling public questions. The country presents, at this moment, & shameful spectacle on this subject. The Democrats and all candid Republicans are Compelled, at this -time, by actual facts and truth, to charge and admit that the Go vernmept of the United States is In Republican hands, not as a result of a verdict of the National .ballot, hut of de liberate and persistent fraud, by which that verdict was defeated and set ■ aside. Smarting umlcr the quarrels and recrimi nations engendered by this fact in Con gress, the facilities of defeating the ballot— the danger of its being done, and the read iness of each party to do It, are all mat ters of common talk in Congress. This Maine affair is cited as strong cor- robative evidence, and indeed, so far as we can understand the trouble, it grows out of a simple application, by theFusion- ists to the Republicans, of laws and cus toms devised by the latter, when iu power, for the purpose of "easily counting in a Legislature to suit them. The great argument for Grant, as a can didate, seems to be that, as a military man, enjoying the confidence of the army, he could not be defeated by the ballot, no matter how It went—foh when his friends say he “would not he counted out,” they must simply mean that (the money and military and executive power of the gov ernment being on his side) he could not be counted out, no matter how the votes went. So in New York the scheme to revolu- tianize the mode of election, so that it will be impossible to cast the Tote of.that State against Grant, is justified by the allegation that the ballot has become so corrupt and is so easily corrupted as to he no longer trustworthy. But if this he the fact, it is certain'that popular government Is at an end in America, and must he supplanted by fraud, chicane and force. These things should alarm the country, if the country is not past alarm, and ready for any sort of a military domination, which so many of the Graut men pretend is the case. Mow Long May Life Endure With out Food or Drink? Apropos to the question of natural phys ical endurance, without food or clriak, which is incidental to the Sunday-school lesson to-day, on Christ’s fast and tempta tion in the wilderness, we clip the follow ing from the New York Tribune of . last Thursday: The autopsy of the remains of the wo man who starved herself to death’ ip Cin cinnati has . not revealed any materially diseased condition of the stomach. The fact that she lived for thirty days without using any nourishment whatever would justify the conclusion that persons pos sessed of strong will power and having the hallucination or delusion that they are suffering with some organic disease er bodi ly disorder may live until the body is entire ly .consumed. This lady was possessed of great power of will,' and she had a delusion that she had no stomach, and therefore made up her mind that she would not take food or 'drink; and continued in this condition until there was .a general ex haustion of the nerve centres and mental faculties, when' she wetit quietly into a calm sleep, and died without a struggle. The'pathological condition of the passa ges leading to the stomach all being nor mal, with no obstruction, and all the or gans in a healthy state, ready to perform their various offices, would warrant the conclusion that this lady would have lived a great many years if she could have been induced to partake of sufficient nour ishment to sustain life. It,is not impossible, then, that mere jffiysical strength of a marked character, .might endure one of the forty-days’ fasts mentioned in the Scripture; hut in all these cases human strength was supple mented by a condition of spiritual and mental exaltation which greatly assisted the physical powers of nature. Physical strength is greatly dependent on the con dition of the mind, and finds its best ally in a cheerful and buoyant courage, a con scious rectitude and strong religious hopes and affections. With these the contest with wasting starvation and wearing disease and pain becomes a very different conflict than when entered upon in a doubtful or despairing spirit, or maintained under the burden of conscious guilt and a sense of inevitable failure. The forty-days’fasts, therefore, might have been maintained by a strong and healthful man, without any strictly miraculous support. ■ —The PsrnclLdemonstrations In Phila delphia yielded $3,000 for the Irish sufl'er- '«rs.
