LA FAYETTE.

City Of Washington, August 50, 1875.
Mfr. FORCE: The stanzas which follow are a
close imitation of some lines written by Lord
Byron. They have reference to the Marchi-
oness La Fayette, of whom the celebrated Ma
dam de Stael says-''ihe history of female
virtue presents nothing more rare in excel
~lence."
The Marchioness La FAYErrE suffered con-
fnement with her two daughters, 'ANAsTAsIA'
and VIRGINIA. in prison, at Paris, for a year
and a half, 1793-4; and when liberated from
the Parsian prison, they went to Venice, and
the Warehouses begged of the Emperor of
Germany to liberate her husband, then con-
plied-'T'ai les mains ~liees."- She then de-
sired permission of him to visit her husband,
when, after much hesitation, he replied
''Yes; but if you go in, you come not out a
gain:" they, however, went to the Castle, and
entered the dung con: out Madam La Fayette
fell dangerously i'll, and was in the utmost
need of medical assistance and fresh air, she
therefore wrote to the Commander of the pri-
son to permit her to take exercise and medl-
cal advice. He answered in the affirmative;
and added-"Butit you go out you must never
more return" When she replied, with heroic
devotion,-"Then | am resolved to share his
"captlvity in all its horrors, sooner than I'M
"dergo the pangs of another separation from
"him." UN JEUNE HOMME.

Blow light, thou balmy air,
My lady's couch above;
Blow light there, We winds, and spare,
The sh.mbers ofmy love.
Let no rude blast be found
To mar her gentle sleep;
But all around a dreary sound,
And drowsy murmur creep.
o Hy, thou balmy air,
And by her couch remain;
Go, blend thee with her breath, and bear =
Its balm to me again,
But lightly SO, and gently blow
Blow softly as my strain.
Blow gently, do not break
The stiffness of her sleep;
would not make my love awake,
Nor raise those lids to weep.
We winds, that, borne on happier hour,
MAY wanton as We will,
l fround her bower, We have her power,
To creep and murmsr still;
Then lightly so, and gently blow,
Andlet her sumber still.

FROM PERSL4

Letters from Shiras announce, that in
the month of April, 1924, there had
been an earthquake which lasted six
days and six nights without intermssion,
and which swallowed up more than halt
OF that unfortunate city, and overthrow
the other, as was the case ~ -'.ePPo'
Nearly all the inh~I',dnts fell victims to
tho Catastrophe: scarcely 500 persons
could save themselves. Other letters
from Aborkoh announce that the same
shock, but less violent, had been felt
there.
Razroon, city between Aborkoh and
Shiras was swallowed up with almost
the whole of the inhabitants, in conse-
quence of the same earthquake all the
mountains surrounding Razroon we're
levelled by it, and no trace of them now
remains.

Trial FOR MURDER.

On Wednesday last, the trial of Adon-
iah Bailey for the murder of Jeremiah
W. Pollock, commenced at Brooklyn, in
the County of Windham, and terminated
on Friday evening. The prisoner was
brought in by the Sheriff & his deputies.
and as he approached the bar of Justice
al the age of 10, halting with infirmitv,
every soul present seemed deeply affect
ed except the prisoner, who, though at
lehllve, was unmoved. The substance
OF the testimony was as follows. Pol.
lock had for some weeks been at worl-
at balley's, in the town of Sterling. and
on the 23d of Oct. last Pollock was mis-
sing search was made from day to day
for the body, until Nov. Sd, when #
was found buried, one foot deep, eight
rods from the place where Bailey and
Pollock had been at work. On taking
the body from the ground it appeared
that tour wounds were made on the back
part of the head, cut through the scull
with On axe. Eight witnesses testified
that Bailey said he was with Pollock,
making shingles, until / o'clock on the
23d OF Oct. when Pollock went away,
TO go to neighboring store, and that he
Bailey, stayed TO work till late dinner
time, and Immediately returned and con-
tinued work there all day. Traces of
blood we" discovered from the shinele
place, to the place where the body was
found, and fire had been kindled with
view to burn up the bloody shavings,
but many were found partly consumed
and others covered up-all this VINO with
IN so rods of Bailey's house. Bailey
wac nsho| whether there was any fire
on the spot on the day Pollock was miss
ing, ne repeatedly said there was none,
could not have been any, as he was in a
situation to know, being there all the
time. it was then proved beyond all
doubt that fire was seen to be kindled,
around the single place about 9 o'clock,
T. M. whichremained to burn some time.
On searching Bailey, note and order
belonging TO Pollock were found in his
possession. Polock's trunk was found
open, and all its contents taken out. and
some papers belonging TO Pollock were
thrown into the fire and identified, some
OF them were taken off by witness be-
fore consumed. When Pollock was last
seen he had money with him, and Bailey
was destitute of any until after Pollock's.
death, when he passed money at the
store to considerable amount. Pollock's
pocket book and watch have never been
found. One witness swore that about
ten days before Pollock was murdered,
Bailey said that he or Pollock should
die soon" After Bailey's arrest and
while under the care of the officer, he
attempted to bride his keepers and get
away from them. These, together with
many other circumstances, rendered his
case entirely hopeless. After a pro-
tracted trial of three days, the cause
was committed TO the Jury, who return
ed verdict of-GUILTY,

GREECE AND TURKEY.

The Austrian Observer, as usual, de-
clares that the events of the late cam
Paign are not so disastrous as have been
represented. That paper declares that
the Captain Pacha was sheltering him
self in the Dardanelles on the 18th OF
Oct. with a flag ship and IS other YES
sells; and that there still remained of
the Egyptian fleet, rs sail. Ibraham,
according to this account, had not been
taken prisoner.
The fate of the Captain Pacha is fl
nally known-sick and in disgrace with
the Sultan, he is still in the Dardanelles,
having been forbidden to appear in the
Capital. The Pacha Of Egypt's son has
been named commander of the sea for
ces of the Porte but where is he now Z?
He is said 10 be prisoner at Hydra.
The Porte keeps dead silence on re-
cent events.
Accounts from Constantnople to the
18th of Oct. mention that before Lord
Strangford left that capital, he received
from the Ottoman Ministers a promise
for the speedy and entire evacuation of
Moldavia.
After the result Of this, the foul III
campaign, more disastrous for the Otto
man Pore than those which preceded
it, it is generally supposed that the
Turks will not dare to hazard fifth, at
least, on the sea.

ON LETHARGIES.

a celebrated Professor of the University of
Berlin, DR.. Christopher William Hufelan,
has just published very interesting work
on Lethargies, in which he relates a great
number OF instances of the danger there is
in interring persons with so much precipita-
ton as is usual, especially in France. He fur
nishes sure means of ascertaining if per-
son he really dead or not, and relates the
following anecdote:
A young man fell in love with the
daughter of rich citizen of Paris, and
his affection was returned The father
of the lady obliged her, however, 10 re-
-nounce her lover, and TO marry another.
A short time after her nuptials, the
young wife fell i'll and died. She was
buried at Paris twenty-four hours after
her decease. Her first lover, incapable
of resisting the desire he felt of seeing
her for the last time, succeeded in gain
ing the sexton, who consented 10 open
the tomb the same night The young
man threatened the latter to kill him, il
he committed the smallest indiscretion
after which he carried off the body, con.
veyed it 20 a neighbouring house, plac.
ed it near the fire, rubbed it with warm
cloths, and tried all possible means o.
restoring to life the woman he adored
After some hours, he had the happiness
to discover signs of life appear; she
first began to emit gentle signs, and a
last returned entirely 10 herself. Al
soon as she was entirely re-estabIishec
in health, the two lovers, thus reunited
by death, set out for England, whenc,
they did not dare to return till severa
years had elapsed. At first a stand wa

made against recognizing the young fe-
male for the pretended defunct but her
new husband found means TO prove that
she was really the same as had been in
tered, and demanded restitution of the
fortune which belonged 10 her, The
consequence was most extraordinary
lawsuit. The first husband persisted
in asserting that she belonged to him,
while the second affirmed she was dead
as far as he was concerned, and that
without his measures and exertions she
would never have been restored 10 life
The Parliament, however, appeared to
lean towards the title of the first hus-
band; and this circumstance urged them
to return to England, without awaiting
the decision of the lawsuit. The par
ticulars of this remarkable process are
yet to be found in the journal of the
Parliament.
After having reported Il great number
OF similar examples, Of other persons bu-
ried alive, Dr. Hufelan adds -" These
examples ought to render US more cir
cumspect, and induce US no longer to a.
bandon bodies on the representation Of
the nurses, who very often pay no atten-
ton to corpse after they believe it to
be one. remember one of these wo-
men once assuring me, some time after
the interment of man she had attend
ed, that some of his family would short
ly follow, because the defunct opened
one eye in the coffin, which, according to
her, was certain sign of the death OF
another relative After such a declar-
alton, can it be doubted that innumera-
BILE victims have been prematurely buri-
ed, who might have otherwise enjoyed
a long existence ~
