We Two.
When you and I are asleep, my love,
Under the carven stone;
Who will there be left to weep, my love,
Of all that we have known?
But the lark will sing as clear and free,
As he springs from his nest in the alder-tree,
And the robin carol his heart's desire
Above us in the red-rose brier.
Though your voice is low and weak, my dear,
There is love-light in your eye!
Though roses fade from your cheek, my dear,
Love's roses never die!
But it's oh, for the long and lasting sleep
Where the wild-wood honeysuckles creep!
Under the violets to lie,
And let the weary world go by.
—H. S. Cornwell, in Telegram.
"A Wounded One Will Read My Rhyme."
A wounded one will read my rhyme,
And oh, her hurts shall all be healed—
The ruder foot on the wild thyme
Shall make it sweeter fragrance yield.
Though boldly struck my lyre of love,
Her heart will hear beneath the sound;
For every stream which runs above,
A thousand murmur underground.
I trust not much to joys unborn,
I've seen how often hopes deceive;
The dove which takes her wing at morn,
Perchance will not return at eve.
But ah, there is, there is a power
Can clear all shadows from the sight;
Firm Faith with finger on the hour.
moving earth, and the sharp crash of dead trees that here lined the mountain—this, added to the roar of the tempest, that seemed to have increased greatly in violence while I slept, all combined to make a noise which appalled me, and for a moment rendered me incapable of motion.
It was but a moment, however, that I was thus rendered powerless; then I sprang to my feet, and rushed toward the entrance of the cave, and would have dashed out into I hardly know what, had I not been deterred by a pair of fiery, gleaming eyes, that I at once knew to belong to a huge panther, who, like myself, had sought shelter from the tempest in the cave.
Those eyes saved my life then; though an hour after, I blamed myself that I had not dashed upon the brute, and rushed out into the tempest; but the beast knew better how to preserve his life than I did; for had we rushed forth into the untold dangers without, we should both have perished, and I should not be narrating this story.
In my fright I had been about to go forth without my rifle, that I had leaned against the rocky wall near where I had lain down; and now I turned toward it to take the life of the panther that barred my way out into the night. But before I had possessed myself of it, and taken deliberate aim, a lucky thought deterred me, and I desisted from my purpose. The beast, without doubt, was as frightened as myself; yet it knew that it was in greater safety where it was than it would be should it rush forth into the dangers of the darkness outside.
Louder and more terrible grew my prison. That the hope, for without doubt pass above my head, had been destroyed there was no hope. My myself to utter despair.

Firm Faith with finger on the hour,
Knows not if it be noon or night.
Better a life above the world,
Though like the insect's, for a day;
Better be smoke that's heavenward curled,
Than rock which wears to earth away.
Who keeps his tent and fears the field,
A woman's word may make him bold—
Love, with thy favor on my shield,
I go to shame the knights of old!
Saved by a Panther.
BY A SETTLER IN THE FAR WEST.
One bright sunshine morning, in the month of September, I threw my rifle over my shoulder, and started off among the mountains on a tramp in search of game. There was not a cloud in the sky, and every thing betokened as nice a day as any one bound on a similar errand could wish.
By the time I reached the summit of the mountains I found the day that had promised so fair in the morning gave evidence of deceiving me. The wind had shifted round to the south-east, and dark clouds had already begun to arise in the heavens, indicating a gathering storm. On the summit I stopped a moment to gain breath, and, while thus resting, I arrived at the conclusion that the storm would not begin before some time in the night, and that I should have a decent day after all.
I plunged down the opposite side of the mountain; and then came the result of my day's labor, in the shape of game of every kind in which the forest abounded. I never had seen it so plentiful before; and, in the course of a couple of hours, I had secured as much as it was possible for me to carry home. So busy was I in the sport that I always so much enjoyed, I did not notice that it was rapidly becoming dark, although it was not more than the middle of the afternoon. I glanced up at the sky through the branches of the trees, and found that it was covered with dark, heavy clouds, that had the appearance of being ready any moment to send down a flood of rain upon the earth. Hastily packing together the trophies of the day's exploit, I swung them upon my back, and started on my way homeward.
But I had not gone quite a third of the way from the foot of the mountain to its summit, when the rain came down, a few drops at first, and then faster and thicker, until at last it descended in torrents, as if a second deluge had set in to again drown the earth. Added to this, it grew darker every moment; and I knew that in a very short time all around would be as black as midnight, and that it would be next to impossible for me to pick my way this story.
In my fright I had been about to go forth without my rifle, that I had leaned against the rocky wall near where I had lain down; and now I turned toward it to take the life of the panther that barred my way out into the night. But before I had possessed myself of it, and taken deliberate aim, a lucky thought deterred me, and I desisted from my purpose. The beast, without doubt, was as frightened as myself; yet it knew that it was in greater safety where it was than it would be should it rush forth into the dangers of the darkness outside.
Louder and more terrible grew the struggle without, and the very mountain was trembling as if it was possessed of life. The crash sounded nearer and nearer, until at last the war above our heads was terrific; then it slowly died away. Nothing could be felt but the jar of the earth, nothing heard but a sound of thunder, as it were, under the ground; and then the rush and the roar died away altogether, and I knew that the avalanche of stones and sand had at last found a resting place far down in the valley at the foot of the mountain, and that its course had been directly above my head. Had I gone forth as I intended, I should have been swept away in the flood of rocks and sand as though I had been a feather. To the shining eyes of the panther I owed my life; and I could at that moment have hugged the beast in my arms had he been but willing to submit to my embraces.
I listened for the sound of the tempest, but all was still as death. A moment before I had heard it roaring above the crashing of the slide. Had it subsided all at once? That was hardly possible; still not a sound came from the outside world, or a gleam of light, such as had come in from the darkness when I had laid down to sleep. What could it mean? was the question I asked myself, but could get no answer.
I could not see the eyes of the panther now, but I knew that he was still in the cave, for I could hear him moving round warily. I wondered that he did not go out and see what the storm had done, as he must be possessed of some curiosity as well as myself. Perhaps, if I advanced, he would go out, or at least, he would turn his eyes upon me; and I did not fear him if he did, for I had my trusty rifle. Yet I did not wish to harm him, for he had been my companion through the moments of terror that had passed.
The panther was moving about the entrance of the cave, and as I advanced a step forward, the brute turned its gleeaming eyes upon me; still it made no sign that it was offended at my movements. I advanced another step, with my rifle sighted upon those eyes, with the same result; another, and the eyes were behind me, with no hostile movement on the part of their owner.
With my back toward the entrance, I moved onward, and two steps more brought me against a mass of rock and sand; and with a horror that I cannot express, I found why it was that the sound could not come to me. The avalanche had buried the entrance of the cave in such a manner as to keep out all sound; the mass of earth might be twenty feet in thickness, and I and the panther were entombed alive!
But I had not gone quite a third of the way from the foot of the mountain to its summit; when the rain came down, a few drops at first, and then faster and thicker, until last it descended in torrents, as if a second deluge had set in to again drown the earth. Added to this, it grew darker every moment; and I knew that in a very short time all around would be as black as midnight, and that it would be next to impossible for me to pick my way homeward; consequently, but one course remained for me to purge; and that was to give up all thoughts of reaching home that night, and to find some shelter from the storm as quickly as possible.
I had got up to a point beyond the trees, among the bare rocks and sands, that now reached all the way before me to the summit of the mountain, and knew that there was no shelter before me, unless it was among the rocks, where a cave might be found. I turned about, and was descending the mountains in a somewhat different direction from that by which I had ascended, when I came upon the very spot I wished to find—a small cave among the rocks, with an aperture sufficiently large to admit of my entering, though not in an upright position, as the entrance was not more than four feet in height.
I at once entered the cave, and found that it extended into the mountain perhaps twenty feet, and that the interior was alce and dry. Here I had a room sufficiently high for me to stand upright, and about ten feet in width by fifteen in length; and better quarters for the night I could not ask for. My stock of game would furnish me with plenty to eat, and I knew how to cook it daintily.
The rain came down in torrents without. But now it was nothing to me. I was snug and dry. In a short time I selected the softest place I could find in the sand that covered the bottom of the cave, and soon was fast asleep.
I had been asleep I don't know how long, when I was awakened by a sound that could not have failed to arouse the soundest sleeper that ever slept. The ground upon which I was lying was trembling as though moved by an earthquake, while above my head sounded a terrible roar, as if the very mountain was falling into the valley below. The crash of rocks as they were torn from their bed, and broken asunder by the others that came hurled by a resistless power from above—a force that nothing could withstand; the strange sound made by vanced another step, with my rifle sighted upon those eyes, with the same result; another, and the eyes were behind me, with no hostile movement on the part of their owner.
With my back toward the entrance, I moved onward, and two steps more brought me against a mass of rock and sand; and, with a horror that I cannot express, I found why it was that the sound could not come to me. The avalanche had buried the entrance of the cave in such a manner as to keep out all sound; the mass of earth might be twenty feet in thickness, and I and the panther were entombed alive!
For a few moments this discovery rendered me incapable of action, and I leaned against the side of the cave in mute despair. But in a short time, by a powerful effort, I came back to myself, and laying down my rifle, all unmindful of the presence of my savage companion, I tried the firmness of the mass of earth, that shut me in from the outer world. The loose earth I could readily remove with my hands, and I set about my task with a will. For an hour I labored with all my might until my hands were bleeding from the contact with the rocks and gravel, and then my progress was stayed by that which was more than the power of man unaided could remove. A huge rock had fallen so that it had completely filled up the mouth of the cave, being wedged in between the cliffs that formed its sides in such a manner as to completely fill up every nook of the entrance, rendering escape impossible. Human hands unaided could never move it from the place where it had fallen. The door of our tomb was sealed so that it never could be opened!
While I was laboring to effect my escape at the entrance, the panther had remained quiet at the back of the cave, with its eyes fixed upon me every moment of the time, as if it knew that I was working for us both, and meant it no harm. When I found that all efforts were useless, I came back to my old bed, and threw myself down in despair. Then the panther moved to the entrance, as if to see what I had done, and to do his part of the work whereby we could effect our escape.
I could hear him scratching with his sharp claws against the sides of the rocks, as I lay abandoning myself to despair. I wondered how long I could live in my tomb; how long the panther would last me for food if I should kill it when the pangs of hunger became so great that I could not bear them; if my friends would search for me; and if they did, if there would be any prospect of their finding

my prison. That they could, I had no hope, for without doubt, should they ever pass above my head, all signs of the cave had been destroyed by the slide. No; there was no hope. And so I abandoned myself to utter despair.
While filled with these thoughts of my terrible situation, I was not unmindful of the motions of the panther. At last, apparently as well satisfied as I had been myself that escape was quite impossible in that direction, he came toward me, and I grasped my rifle; for, although I thought that I must die, I did not wish to be killed by a wild beast. Yet I did not want to harm the brute until I was convinced that he meant me mischief, which as yet he had shown no disposition to do.
With its fiery eyes turned upon me, the panther passed by me, and went to the farther part of the cave; and there I could hear it at work again. For an hour, it must have been, it kept intently on. This gave me new hope. Might there not be an outlet to the cave in that direction, which the panther by instinct had discovered? This hope alone brought back all the old affection that I had felt for my companion.
Suddenly I became conscious that the scratching sound had ceased. For a moment I saw the eyes gleam, then disappeared, and I heard a sound as if the panther was forcing his body through an aperture. I sprang to my feet, and ran toward the spot. No panther was there; but there was the aperture, large enough to admit his body, though not mine; and the cool current of air was issuing therefrom. The aperture in some manner led
The Proper Way to Do Frying.
A homely subject is frying, in more senses than one, but few modes of cooking will give a greater variety of toothsome and tempting viands. Every well-appointed kitchen should have the means of frying in two different ways: First, the common way, where a little fat is put into the fry-pan, the article to be cooked is put in, and when done on one side is turned to the other. The quantity of fat used is only sufficient to prevent burning. Some things, which will stand rough handling, may be cooked in this way to a palatable condition, but breaded cutlets and the most delicate kinds of fish are mostly failures. For these last, and for oysters, fritters, Bengal souffles and like, a deep fry-pan should be used, allowing the things, to be plunged into the boiling fat. Its dimensions should be sufficient to cook a good-sized fish. This deep pan by no means dispenses with the shallow one for frying small things like eggs, kidneys, steaks, etc. Its depth may be from six to eight inches, as no more fat need be put in than will cover the article to be fried, and which may be laid on a wire bottomed strainer for plunging in the fat and taking out.
In a common shallow frying-pan small, tender articles like smelts are apt to be broken and become sodden with grease, but by plunging them in boiling fat their outside is set and forms a crust; thin substance becomes firm, and when taken out they are crisp and dry. This is the way the French cooks make such relishing dishes out of the coarse kinds of fish. It is necessary to have the fat hot enough,
A Japanese Execution.
A correspondent of the Edinburgh Courant, writing from Tokio, Japan, thus describes an execution of which he was a witness:
The prisoners were seated in a basket made of bamboo, each borne on the shoulders of two strong men. The place of execution was raised high above the road, and seemed to be a flat cut out from the hill, the high bank on the other side of the road affording the spectators a good view of the proceedings. The prisoners were blindfolded on the road in front of the hill, and were then brought up to the raised ground and the kagos placed down. Refreshments in the shape of fish, omelets, cake and wine were then handed by the attendants to the prisoners, who all seemed to partake quite freely. The prisoners commenced to converse freely among themselves, calling each other by name, and exhorting one another to behave firmly at the last moment. At the center of the ground was a hole about one foot deep and about one foot in diameter. The first criminal was led to the mat and made to kneel. The execution prepared his sword by pouring water down the edge. The prisoner's body was bared down to his waist, and his arms were held behind his back by a strong young fellow, who gained more command over the prisoner's body by kneeling also, and pressing his right foot against the feet of the prisoner. Another man settled the bandage afresh over the eyes and ears, while another drew his neck out to the utmost, holding the head over the hole until all was ready, when he with-
A Modern Invention Known to an Ancient Roman.
In a "Book of Curiosities," says the London Times, we read: "There was an artificer in Rome who made vessels of glass of so tenacious a temper that they were as little liable to be broken as those that are made of gold and silver. When therefore, he had made a vial of the purer sort, and such as he thought a present worthy of Caesar alone, he was admitted into the presence of the then Emperor Tiberius. The gift was praised, the skillful hand of the artist applauded, and the donation of the giver accepted. The artist, that he might enhance the wonder of the spectators and promote himself yet further in the favor of the Emperor, desired the vial out of Caesar's hand, and threw it with such force against the floor that the most solid metal would have received some damage or bruise thereby. Caesar was not only amazed but affrighted by the act; but the artist, taking up the vial from the ground (which was not broken, but only bruised together, as if the substance of the glass had put on the temper of brass), drew out an instrument from his bosom and beat it out to its former figure. This done, he imagined that he had conquered the world, as believing that he had merited an acquaintance with Caesar and raised the admiration of all the beholders; but it fell out otherwise, for the Emperor inquired if any other person besides himself was privy to the like tempering of the glass. When he told him 'No,' he commanded his attendants to strike off his head, saying 'That should this artifice come once to be known, gold and silver would be of as little value as the dirt in the street.' Long after this—viz., in 1610—we read that, among other rare presents then sent from the Sophia of Persia to the King of Spain were six mirrors of malleable eggs, kidneys, steaks, etc. Its depth may be from six to eight inches, as no more fat need be put in than well cover the article to be fried, and which may be laid on a wire bottomed strainer for plunging in the fat and taking out. In a common shallow frying-pan small, tender articles like smelts are apt to be broken and become sodden with grease, but by plunging them in boiling fat their outside is set and forms a crust; thin substance becomes firm, and when taken out they are crisp and dry. This is the way the French cooks make such relishing dishes out of the coarse kinds of fish. It is necessary to have the fat hot enough, because, when boiling, it does not penetrate the solid articles of food that are plunged into it, but shuts itself out at once by forming a crust or brown case, all over the surface. The heating of the natural juices inside does the rest. By this means anything is more quickly cooked than by the old way, for all sides are done at once. If left too long in the fat they will be dried up and spoiled. Test the heat of the fat before putting anything in to be cooked, by throwing in a crumb of bread. If it speedily turns of a golden brown, you may begin frying at once, remembering things cook in this manner very quickly and must be constantly watched.
Inexperienced cooks will be frightened at the quantity of fat this mode of frying requires, but it may be made to serve several times if strained off into a clean jar and covered as soon as the frying is done. Of course fat that has once fried fish should be reserved for fish only. Good frying fat can be taken from the top of soups or broths when cold. Also the drippings from beef and pork can be used. Rendered beef suet or sweet pork lard makes excellent frying fat, but fat from mutton or lamb should never be used.
Courtesy at Home.
The way to behave well abroad is best learned in the home circle, and my observation leads to the belief that there is all too little of the elements of good breeding taught in the average country home. If there is a guest in the house, he is met with a pleasant good morning, and acts of courtesy are shown him from morning until night, but with no company in the household acts of ordinary politeness are rare indeed. Because a family are in intimate association is no reason for banishing pleasant greetings, kindly responses and anticipation of wants. It is these that give beauty and satisfaction to home life. It is the absence of these that bring disappointments, wranglings and sorrow into the household. There is nothing more beautiful than a family whose restraint simply lies in regard for one another's feelings; and yet as I pass from one house to another, I find it the exception when there is one in which I discover no trace of discouragement.
It must be remembered that the outward form springs from the inward feeling. The thought is parent of the word, and in that home where the genuine filial affection exists, the forms, although they may not be of the most accomplished sort, are genuine. Occasionally I cross a threshold beyond which I see in outward expression only an appearance of eggs, kidneys, steaks, etc.
Its depth may be from six to eight inches, as no more fat need be put in than well cover the article to be fried, and which may be laid on a wire bottomed strainer for plunging in the fat and taking out. In a common shallow frying-pan small, tender articles like smelts are apt to be broken and become sodden with grease, but by plunging them in boiling fat their outside is set and forms a crust; thin substance becomes firm, and when taken out they are crisp and dry.

AFRICAN HORNED MEN.—The following is from a paper read before the British Association: Capt. Cameron read a portion of a paper written by Capt. J. S. Hay, relating to a strange malformation in the males of a tribe of people he had visited in the district of Akeen, in West Africa. The extract was as follows: "Two diagrams which we laid before you depict to the best of my ability, and will at least convey some idea of a malformation, which is, I believe, peculiar to this tribe. I have at least noticed it in no other. The malformation in question is confined to the male sex, and consists in a protuberance or enlargement of the cheek-bones under the eyes, which take the form of horns on each side of the nose. The malformation begins in childhood, but is not, so far as I am aware, hereditary. It presents no appearance of being a diseased structure, nor is it a raised cicatrice, after the fashion adopted by many African tribes. On the contrary, I have seen children with this peculiarity of structure whose parents were doing their utmost, though ineffectually, to stop it by medicines and applications. In the meantime, to set all speculation and conjecture at rest, and to corroborate a statement that doubtless may appear extraordinary, I have lost no time in writing to a missionary, a native of the country, to procure me, if possible, skulls in which the phenomenon appears; and as soon as these arrive it is my intention to exhibit them in connection with a paper on the subject, which I propose to read at the Anthropological Institute in London."
REMARKABLE ARTISTIAN WELL—At Prairie du Chameau, Win., an artisan well daily discharges 809,610 gallons of water. The well is only 980 feet deep, but has head enough to raise the water 200 feet above the ground.
There is nothing more beautiful than a family whose restraint simply lies in regard for one another's feelings; and yet as I pass from one house to another, I find it the exception when there is one in which I discover no trace of discourtesy.
It must be remembered that the outward form springs from the inward feeling. The thought is parent of the word, and in that home where the genuine filial affection exists, the forms, although they may not be of the most accomplished sort, are genuine. Occasionally I cross a threshold beyond which I see in outward expression only an appearance of kindliness. Everything is prefaced by "my dear," and supplemented by "thank you," but before I am beyond ear shot as I leave, everything is changed to the imperative mood, and the inflexions, modulation, and expressions are all changed to the opposite of kindness or good will. This is the worst picture of all; deceitfulness added to family discord is superlative unhappiness.
These households have no thought of their great loss through the lack of union founded upon love. I do not wonder the inmates long for Heaven; but I fear they will be sadly disappointed if they expect all will be joy there with the preparation they are getting here.
To KEEP MUSLIN FROM TAKING FIRE.—Add an ounce of alum to the last water used in rinsing children's dresses and they will be rendered almost uninflammable, taking fire very slowly if at all, and not burning with a flame. Mothers who live in houses where open fires are kept will do well to remember this.
To DEVIL HAM.—Cut up fried ham in bits not larger than pess. Add tomato catsup, a teaspoonful of whiskey, one of Worcestershire sauce, and a small quantity of flour water—then heat to boiling. It is just an appetizing delicacy for these warm days.
To BOIL A HAM.—Let it boil slowly for the whole of an afternoon, and then let it remain in its liquor over night. Ham thus boiled are far more juicy and tender than when boiled a shorter time and at once removed from the water.
COOKIES.—Two cups of sugar, one-half cup of butter, one cup of sweet milk, one teaspoonful baking powder, flour enough to roll, caraway seeds if liked. Mix the baking powder thoroughly through the flour.

WASHINGTON'S FIRST LOVE.—In the trial of the case of Thadeus R. Ganung against the Mayor, before Judge Larremore, yesterday, a curious anecdote of Washington was presented by Mr. Stetson, Assistant Corporation Counsel. The action was brought to recover damages for raising the waters of Lake Mahopas to such a height as to overflow the adjoining lands and produce malarial fever, with which Mr. Ganung was prostrated. The title to the property on the shore of the lake was traced back to 1697. In that year the King of England, William III., granted to one Adolph Phillipse a large tract of land in the then province of New York, including the present county of Putnam. The property passed down through the Phillipse family until the year 1754, when it was the property of Mary Phillipse, who married Col. Rogera Morris. Mary Phillipse was the young lady for whose hand George Washington was a suitor, after his return from Braddock's expedition, but whose family was so strongly royalist that Washington retired from the suit. Naturally, on the breaking out of the revolution, she and her family espoused the cause of the King, and their great property was forfeited to the State of New York. In 1781, the Commissioners of Forfeiture for the State sold the land in question to one William Smith. Subsequently he heirs of Mary Morris claimed the property, and that claim came into the hands of John Jacob Astor. Mr. Astor, in 1809, obtained a decree in his favor, and the State was compelled to pay him the sum of $500,000 for a release, thus confirming the title in the purchaser from the estate. The jury last evening gave the plaintiff a judgment a verdict of six and one-quarter cents damages—N.Y.Sun.

Hard Times in New York.
The fine Murray Hill mansion of ex-Collector Murphy is to-day echoing the calls of an auctioneer. All the costly furniture, the choice bronzes and the expensive paintings which Mr. Murphy had collected there are going under the hammer. For two years and more it has been known that almost the entire wealth of the ex-Collector, who, before the great panic, was accounted one of our millionaires, though he never was actually worth a million, nor anything like it, had vanished out of sight. He is not yet absolutely a poor man, though it is certain that he has lost enough to make him a rich one. Nearly all his losses have come from the great shrinkage in real estate. He, like hundreds of others, had speculated largely in "gilt-edge lots," giving mortgages for the greater part of their value. The heavy decline in this class of property wiped out his margin of interest above the mortgages, taking away every dollar of what he had invested. Although Mr. Murphy has often been harshly spoken of on account of his political relations, yet no one alludes to his present misfortune except in terms of sympathy. He has always enjoyed a great deal of personal popularity, and there is general regret that financial trouble has lately pressed so hard upon him. But his case is only one of hundreds. The past three years have witnessed so many stunning reverses of fortune that we have become as accustomed to hearing of social stars "shooting madly from their spheres" and passing out of sight as to embezzlements, defalcations
Yellow Fever Victims.
Atlanta is full of strangers, including large numbers of yellow fever refugees from Savannah and Brunswick. The terrible epidemic which is ravaging those two cities has cast a gloom over the people of the entire State. Expressing a desire to get the fullest possible information in regard to these unfortunate cities, Mr. W.D. Chiplay, general southern agent of the Virginia Midland route, and a brother of Col. Steve Chiplay, clerk of the Louisville Chancery Court, introduced me to Albert R. Lamar, former editor of the Savannah Advertiser. Col. Lamar gave me a graphic description of the terrible scourge that has befallen Savannah and Brunswick.
The fever was discovered to be epidemic August 29th. The discovery fell like a thunderbolt from a cloudless sky upon the people of Savannah—it was so wholly unlooked for—as since the war Savannah had perfected an excellent system of drainage and built water works which afford a full supply of pure water; and the police, in addition to their other duties, are made sanitary inspectors; and there had been no yellow fever to speak of since 1856; and, besides, for a number of years past, the summer season had been the healthiest portion of the year in Savannah. The disease was not imported, but originated in Savannah. The causes were the very extraordinary rain-fall in June of fifteen and one-half inches, which overflowed the rice fields near the city and remained there under a temperature of over 90 degrees for sixty days, with an easterly wind from off the Gulf stream.

Probably the worst break-down of all was that of Ben Holliday, who before the days of Pacific railroads, accumulated a fortune of seven or eight millions in the overland stage business and Pacific coast speculations. He retired and settled here with his family. Soon after he purchased a magnificent estate in Westchester county and expended a great fortune in beautifying and improving it. His wife, an energetic and ambitious woman, pushed forward rapidly in society. She took her daughters to Europe and lived and "received" like a princess in Paris and Rome. The name and social distinction of Mrs. H. became known everywhere. Then her daughters found husbands in the ranks where titles count higher than merit, each marrying a "nobleman." But the noblemen proved to be of very little account and their wives were anything but happy. A couple of years ago Mrs. Holliday died. Her husband had in the meantime met with serious reverses. Almost his entire fortune not invested in the magnificent place at Westchester was put into railroad speculations and lost. Weary and disgusted he went away to one of the mining territories, leaving his estate in charge of an agent. The agent recently refused to pay certain taxes upon it on the ground that they were exorbitant, and a few weeks ago it was sold at auction by the tax collector,bringing but a mere trifle. Of the immense wealth which the Holliday family possessed a few years ago, not a dollar now remains. Another instance: One of our builders, a man well known, retired from business before the panic with $200,000 clear. He took his family to Europe and spent $20,-000 on the trip. Most of the remaining $180,000 was invested in real estate. A year ago he was obliged to sell all his costly household effects, his equipages etc., and remove to a cheap house in Harlem. Recently I was informed that he was in danger of being dispossessed because he is not able to pay his rent. Several Wall street magnates have also fallen low. The case of Daniel Drew is too well known to need any more mention. A few days ago, in looking over certain mortgage-records, I found a chattel mortgage for $200,000 given by Capt. A. B. Stockwell to one of his former Pacific Mail Associates. This would indicate that Stockwell is as much "down at the heel" as any of them. All those who have fallen rose very fast. The men who made their money slowly seem able to hold it much more surely than the others.—Correspondence Detroit Free Press.
All left that could get away. After the epidemic had got under full headway it was more dangerous to leave than to remain, as a change of atmosphere would almost certainly develop the latent seeds of the disease in the system, and an attack of that sort invariably proves fatal. No language, said Col. Lamar, can describe the terrible gloom and apprehension that hang over Savannah. The suffering and destitution are absolutely horrible. Savannah has a negro population of about 15,000, who are naturally careless and improvident; and then she has a large white laboring class who are dependent upon their daily labor for their bread. Business of every sort except through cotton, is suspended, and the laboring classes are wholly without means. The disease has run this class of ill-fed, ill-clothed and ill-lodged ones and swept them away like chief before a whirlwind and is now attacking the better classes. Many prominent citizens have died, particularly the younger business men of the city.
The disease comes on suddenly, and almost invariably in the night, when the system is exhausted. The symptoms are intense pain in the head, back and limbs, and high fever which lasts twelve hours. At the end of that time the patient is ready either for his cook or his coffin. If the feyer subsides without the black vomit appearing, two or three weeks of careful nursing will make him well. A relapse is always fatal. After the black vomit supervenes recovery is rare.
Many heartrending incidents of the terrible plague are told. A worthy and estimable lady of Savannah was buried

THE POLAR EXPEDITION AND SYMMES' THEORY.—The recent news from England is that the steamer Pandora that was sent north about the 1st of last July to bring the news from the exploring expedition that went out last year under Capt. Nares, has got as far north as Uppernavik, which lies beyond Disco, and is the residence of the Governor of Greenland, and the last point north from whence there is communication this way, and she reports no news from Capt. Nares, but would steam on northward as the sea was clear of ice, and would reach Smith's Sound in a few days, at which point Capt. Nares was to leave a report of his discoveries up to that time. He is to remain a year longer, and the Pandora is to bring home some news from him, and she may be expected home in a few days, and if Capt. Nares is fortunate enough to reach the open Polar Sea, as the Swedish expedition did last year, and runs into a warm and genial climate, and can report the finding of a rich country abounding in rich land, large rivers, and splendid forests of timber, then the "Symmes theory" will be proven beyond doubt, and the country of "Symmzonia" will become a fixed fact. Who is not anxious to hear the news from Capt. Nares!
In Paris there are nearly 25,000 cafes, or public houses, to say nothing of 180 music halls and 237 public ball rooms, where "refreshments" of various degrees of alcoholic power may be obtained at exorbitant prices. Taking the population of Paris in round numbers at 2,000,-000, there is one free fountain to every 40,000 persons and one drinking shop to very eighty.
The new law in Texas which punishes profanity by a fine of one hundred dollars, is proving a fruitful source of revenue to the State. It is said that a balky man made a Texan so mad the other day that before the man could get out of the village where the evil spirit came on the mule, he owed the State $90,000.
The disease comes on suddenly, and almost invariably in the night when the system is exhausted. The symptoms are intense pain in the head, back and limbs, and high fever which lasts twelve hours. At the end of that time the patient is ready either for his cook or his coffin. If the fever subsides without the black vomit appearing, two or three weeks of careful nursing will make him well. A relapse is always fatal. After the black vomit supervenes recovery is rare.
Many heartrending incidents of the terrible plague are told. A worthy and estimable lady of Savannah was buried coiffless, because one could not be procured for love or money. In many instances the dead were laid in the graves and the graves left open because there was no time to fill them.
A great deal of aid has been given Savannah and Brunswick, but a great deal yet remains to be done. Thousands of people are in absolute need of everything. All infected bedding must of necessity be destroyed. The treatment of the disease requires large quantities of ice, costly medicines and nourishing food. The laboring classes have no work of any kind, and are wholly destitute. A dollar now is worth ten next month. Money or supplies sent to Capt. J. Wheaton, agent of the Benevolent Association, Savannah, Georgia, or C.E. Dexter, Brunswick, Georgia, will be properly applied.
Huxley's Luck — Socially, professionally, peculiarly and as a pleasure trip from the other side, says Harper a Weekly, Prof. Huxley's visit to the United States was an entire success. His three lectures at Chickering Hall netted him $1,000 each—$4,800. For his address to the opening of the John Hopkins University, Baltimore, he received $500. At Nashville, whither he went to visit his sister, President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, placed a palace car at his entire disposal, in which he was brought to Baltimore, and thence to Washington; free; and a similar courtesay was extended to him by President Bishop of the New York & New Haven Road, by which he visited a portion of New England. The Professor had, therefore, not only a continuity of good time from the day of his departure, but he evolved from our republican pockets and took with him to England the consolatory sum of £1,000 cash.
