[WHoLR No. 455.

The following manly and very interesting
letter from Mr.. Biddle to Mr. Adams-closes
his public correspondence with that yenera-
BILE gentleman. It is clear and convincing
exposition of Err. Bidde's policy, throughout
the crisis of 1887, ard OF the immense bene-
fits OF which that policy has been the cause
and announces that, having effected lis OBJ
iect, il 10 now discontinued, and that hence
forth the Cank Of the United States will
confne itself to the strict and legitimate line
of its business as state institution, from
which it only departed under the pressure OF
an earnest and enlightened desire to avert or
mitigate evils Of distressing magnitude, with
which the best interests Of the country were
threatened.
! There is much in this letter with which
right thinking men, no matter Of what polltl-
cal party, must be gra,ifed; particularly tho
statements respecting the alleged dealings OF
the Bank in cotton, It's present position with
the government, ard its future conduct
Henceforth, we hope, Mr.. Biddle and the in-
slilu,ion over which he presides so ably, viii
be permitted to 90 on their way in the peace
ior the enjoyment of which he utters such
feeling aspirations, and without being nc-
cused aud suspected at every turn, of buying
either men or co;ton.-[N y. Com. .adu.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ELECTRICAL Ex-
cIrEMENT Dr. Hosiord, of Oxford n. ii. relates
the case of n lady in that town who became I'M
consciously charged with electricity at the Time
of the occurrence of an unusual aurora, boreas
on the 25lh Of January 1887. This cXtnordinn-
rvs state continued until the middle OF of the fol-
lowing May, during most of which time she was
capable of giving electrical sparks to every con-
ducting body that came within the sphere of her
electrical Influence. When her finger was
brought within one sixteenth of an inch of II me-
taIIc body spark that was heard, seen and felt
passing every second. When seated motionless.
with her feet the iron stove hearth, thee or
four sparks per minute would pass to the stove
Notwithstanding the insulation of shoes and silk
hosiery. When most iavorably circums,anced,
four sparks per minute of one inch aud IL half,
would pass from one end of her finger to Il brass
ball on the stove those were quite brilliant, dis
tined " seen and heard in any part Ola large room
ana sharply felt when they passed to another
person. These experiments were so often re-
heated that there no doubt left oftheir actual
occurrence. The lady had no internal evidence
of this faculty, which was only manifest to her
when the sparks left her. Hcr health had never
heen good, though size had seldom been CON
fined to her bed. She bad suffered much from
unseated neuralgia in various parts OF her system
for some months precious to he electrical dCyel-
opement Her health is no " better than for ma
ny years. DR. Hostord thinks this phenomenon
was not caused Ivy the aurora alluded TO, but that
it an appeudage of the animal system.

LONDON BEGGARs. In parts of Europe, par
ticulnrly in London begging is regular vocation;
and it is pursued with II perSev erance and an in
dustry which is hardly cqualled in any other
trade or profession-and We're not beggars an
mprovident people, they would soon grow rich
and indeed many cases are cited OF beggars in
lhe streets Of London, who have amassed large
fortunes, by their economy and devoted atten-
ton TO their business. a woman died ii few
years since in London, who had been II most in
delatIgAblc heggar in the vicinity of (-llarng
Gross tor twenty five years, who left invested in
GOOD securities, property equal in value 9:30t o.
In an association of heggi,rs, to which she he.
longed, she was known by the name of "thc
baukcr," and was in the habi. OF lending small
sums at an enormous rate of interest
Another case is related of colored man,
miserable looking object, who luborcd industri-
ousy al the same vocation with astonishing sue
cess near Charng Cross for II number OF years
After his death, on examining the wretc!ed gar-
ret which he occupied, and which seemed the
very emblem of poverty, the sum Of $4,000 in
specie, was found snugly deposited in divers old
chests and boxes
A wretched looking old woman, who excrcis.
ed her honest calling on the Kent road died not
long since and in her will left TO clerk in the
Bank of England, legacy of fifteen hundred
pounds sterling! The reason assigned for this
extraordinary bequest, was, TINT this gentleman
put penny into her hands oftener than any other
man in London!
This business has never yet been Introduced
into this country-and probably never will.

WINrER.-The idea of drearness, OF gloom,
and of discomfort, is often incnlcated, and asso-
ciaed with the presence of winter So far as 1t
regards external nature, this is true; but socially
considered, and regards mans entire capacity
for enjoyment, it is not the case. Winter has
been much wronged in this sentiment. At no
season oftho year are the better feelings of our
nature,-those Of a humane and social kind, more
easily excited and more intensely engaged.
Men at this season, insucivey throng, or as it
were huddle together in social and congGniaI
compact, warmly disposed TO communicate aud
to receive enjoyment At no time are the men
tai powers more vi gorous, more readily aroused
and more suspeclhe of Improvement. Wit
ness the alacry with which men enter the So
cal circle, the lecture room, or engage in any
humane project for the rcliGfo their kind.
\ winter life should he one Of aclvty;-thiS
is the prompting of nature and without it, it
is a season of gloom and dreariness. Mach
time should be spent in exercise in the open air,
and social intercourse and no one can fail Of hav-
ingremarkch how easily the kindred feelings are
enlisted, and with what zest one engages III sport
amusement or instruction, where numbers are
concerned TO exile one's self from society--to
withdraw into his own shclF'-to become Il
prisoner in heated room, is bad philosophy
destructive alike Of health and hnppiness.-!Saicm

IcELANDIC TRADITION. The royal society at
Copenhagen, has been employed the last two
years in investigating The cIrjIns OF the Mortimer
or Scandinavans, to the title of first discoveries
o: the American continent, which tradition ana
written documents in the Icelandic language,
alleges 10 have taken place about the year 1000
Ii seems, from the transactions of the royal Soci-
ETY., in relation TO this question, which have been
published in Il large quarto voune ana n lew
copies Of which have ust reached this country,
that Il voyager on his way 10 Greenland, from
Iceland, encountered for many days strong north =
west winds which drove him into unknown seas,
and along the coast hitherto unknown and un-
discovered land. The antiquuries of the royal
society, identify the land, thus for the first time
known to the cid world, rs Labrador and New
fOurdland. The vOyager did not disenlhark, hut
on his return to Greenland, told his adventures
and discoveries, which caused great sensation ;
and others, stimulated by the spirit of discovery
and adventure immediately fitted cut vessels 10
prosecute interesting enquiries. IN the course
o. this voyages they discovered land which The
same authority above quoted Identifies ~ the
coast CT New Brunswick afterwards they dis
covered the island Of Nantucket, on which they
landed ; also Martl.a's Vineyard and Cape Cod.
They then sailed UP the bay which is now known
us Massachusetts bay, and landed, according to
the description given in the book, on the place
now known as the village Of Hull i'll Boston
harbor here they for the first time met with
natives who are described as being OF tnWny
color and according 10 the practice OF later times,
that meeting res,ie; in GloQdshed many OF the
natives were killed. the leader OF The fleet re-
ceived mortal wound from poisoned arrow,
and was buried there. The party now returned
home. Subsequently, voyages were made, and
colonies established, aud supported during pc
Rod of nearly 300 years, after which they Ian
guisIIed, and finally became extinct.
1t is related that in various places where the
voyagers disembarked, they found grapes of Il
delicious favor, growing wild and in great album
dance. From tins circumstances, the name of
Vineand or Wineland was given to the country.
There will probably be an abstract Of the learned
and elaborate work OF the royal society, given to
he public by some competent person. Nothing
hat has been thrown from the American press,

interest rs will this singular production.
