fortnight or three weeks, with Professor Lep-
slus ana his associates. Wrecked again
while passing down the Nile, and wounded
IN an encounter near Alexandria, he pushed
across to Greece, and traversed every scene
OF classic interest, climbing 10 the Hippo-
creme Spring, and sleeping on the shore of
Marathon. He returned by Italy, France,
and England, only to rest few weeks, be-
lore cruise on the coast of Africa. Renew.
ing here some acquantances which had been
formed IN Brazil, he was allowed 10 inspect
tie entire machinery of the slave trade ant!
to pass up into the interior, under the firman
OF Desouza, the great Intermediary between
the chiefs of the slave making districts and
the Brazilian carriers. The coast fever was
his pay for this trip, and he was sent home
by Commodore Read, an invalid. Inner.
fectly patched up from the effects of this Wis
Itauon, he volunteered for service with the
army IN Mexico, and was ordered, with de-
spatches, on dare devil race, through the
country our troops had left to overtake Gen.
Scott. Awaiting himself, at Perote. of mis-

on the ceast survey, up to the moment of re-
ceivlng his telegraphic despatch, accepting
his urgent proffer of servic es for the Arctic
expedition. He had the rice fever in the
Canton river The plague in Egypt, the yellow
fever al Rio, the congestive at Puebla, and
the African fever on the coast. These, and

which he has had from boyhood, have beer

Altogether his history is eventfl and :hril

DiabOIical Outrage ut Northamp-
ton.

On Sunday morning, while the remainder of
the family were absent at church, the room Of
one of the most respectable ladies' in North
hampton was entered, by man, who made a
violent attempt to outrage her person. The
house had been under repairs, and the carpen-
tcrs had left ladder at one of the second story
windows.
1t is supposed, that at first, the sconndrel en-
tered this room which joined that in which the
lady, who had been in i'll health, had fallen
asleep upon her bed. He could partly observe
her through the keyhole, and it is supposed
that he then descended the ladder, moved it it
to the next window, and mounting, entered it,
When she awoke, she saw a man standing by
her bed, who Immediately threw newspaper
and pillow over her face, for the purpose Of
smothering her cries.
The struggle was so fierce and well sutsain-
ed on the part of the lady, that the fiendish at
tempt proved abortive, and he undertook to
choke her. He cut quite severe cash in her
neck with his nail, which bled prolusely. Get
ting an opportunity to speak, she asked him If
he meant 10 kill her, to which he made some
reply, and evidently becoming alarmed at the
amount of blood about her neck, inquired who
her physician was, and precipitateiy retired.
The house, though not far retired from other
houses on any side, is pretty densely surround
ed with stirubbery.
A public meeting of the citizens was held
fhe same evening, to investigate the natter

Iron Bar Shot through the Head
and lives.

1t is unsafe to disbelieve anything in these
times, as the following perfectly authenlica-
ted case proves. 1t is found in the Medical
Joninal. ..- -
The accident occurred upon the line Of rhe
Rutland and Burlington railroad, on The I3l h
of Sept. 1913. The subject Of il, Phineas
z. Gage, is of middle stature, twenty five
years old, shrewd and intelligent. Accord
ing 10 his own statement he was charging
with powder hole drilled in rock, for the
parpose of blasting. lrappears that il is cus>
Iomary in filling the hole to cover the pow
der with sand. In this case, the charge hav-
ing been adjusted, MIR. Gage directed his as
sistant TO pour IN the sand; and at the inter-
val of a few seconds, his head being averted
and supposing the sand to have been proper.
ly placed, he dropped the head Of the iron as
usual upon the charge, to consolidate or
stamp IN" The assistant had failed 10
obey the order, and the iron striking fire up
on the rock, the uncovered powder was igni-
ted and the explosion took place. Mr.. Gage
was al this time standing above the hole,
leaning forward, with his face slightly avert
ed; and the bar of iron was projected direct
ly upwards in line OF its axis, passing COM
pletely through his head and high into The
air. The wound thus received, and which is
more fully described in the sequel, was
oblique, traversing the Uranium in a straight
line from the angle OF the lower Jaw on one
side TO the centre Of the frontal bone above
near the sagitial sature, where the missile
emerged; and the iron thus forcbly thrown
into the air was picked up at the distance Of
some rods from the patient, smeared with
brain and blood.
From this extraordinary leison, the patient
has quite recovered in his faculties ol mind
and body, with the loss only of the sight Of
the injured eye.
The iron which thus traversed his skull
weighs thirteen and quarter pounds. Ii is
three feet seven inches in length, and one
and quarter inches in diameter. The end
which entered first is pointed: the taper be-
ing seven inches, long and the diameter of
the point one quarter of an inch circum-
stances 10 which the patient owes his life.- -
The iron is unlike any other, and was made
bya neighborng blacksmith to please the
fancy of the owner
DR.. Harlow, in The graphic account above
alluded 10, states that ''nmediately after the
explosion, the patient was thrown upon his
back, and gave few convulsive motions Of
the extremites, but spoke in few moments.
His men with whom he was great fav orite)
took him in their arms and carried him 10 the
road, only few rods distant, and sat him
on an OK cart, in which he rode, sitting erect
full three quarters of mile, TO the hotel OF
Mr.. Joseph Adams, in this village. He got
out OF the cart himself, aud with Itlls as
sistance walked up long fright Of stairs, IN
to the hall, where he was dressed.

An Interesting Narrative.

Our readers have already been apprised
that an Arctic expedition, intended to search
for the missing Sir john franklin, had been
fitted out by the munficence of Mr.. Grinnell
New York merchant, and has started un-
der auspices OF the general government;
which, by authority OF congress, has consen-
ted that the officers of our navy shall lead
the daring enterprise. Among these officers
we observe The name of Surgeon Elisha X i.
Kane, son of Hon. John K. Kane, of this city
who volunteered for lhe service, and is now
principal surgeon of tile expedition. We
saw the announcement OF bis name among
the officers, with surprise. He has long
been suffering from combination OF infrm-
tiles, the result of a series OF adventures, such
as lew men living lave undergone. and still
fewer would voluntarily embark in out of
pure love Of danger, and the spirit Of seeing
the wonders and the pecularities of orher
paris OF the globe. Having enjoyed the ac.
quaintance Of this brave young man, we are
able 10 state what follows ot his career, even
if we should use that which was commnni-
Gated 10 us in semi confidential interviews.
No American of his age, has ever seen so
much Of the perils Of the world, or of the
world itself. He was surgeon of The Ameri-
can legation to China, and on his way to the
celestial regions, he spent some weeks on a
foo, tramp through tue orange groves of Bra
zil and about a month in tiger hunting near
Bombay.
Hence, after dozen unsuccessful attempts
TO smuggle himself into the forbidden lands
OF China, he went over TO the philippines,
and by the aid Of the good monks of the in
terror of Manila, explored lis fastnesses and
volcanic wonders. He was the first man to
descend into the great crater of the Tae
lowered down two hundred feet over the
brink, by bamboo rope tied round his mid :.
die, and brought back bottle full Of its sui
phur waters, burning off his boots in the Ia.
va cinders. Leaving China, after second
visit, in which he encountered shipwreck.
he passed TO India as physician of tile Dre-
mendhar Dagore, and was palanquined for
some three months through the wonders Of
its mountain architecture, the ancient glo-
ries of Candy, the stupendous passes Of the
Chant country visiting Madras, Pondicllerry
and every spot that we have read of in the
trial Of Warren Hastings. Next, to Upper

W The fifth and last article of an excel.
lent series in the Boston Post, entitled The
Reunion of the National Democracy on the
Baltimore Platform concludes as folows;- :
The administration ofthis country, TO be
well ard safely guided for the whole Union,
must he in the hands of the national DEM
ocrary. Discord, disaster and premature
death in high places, i'll the mysterious dis
pensaiions OF Providence, have uniformly
followed in The occasional successes of the
opposite party. The way is oren to a safe
return cf the country to that course which,
Cor more than forty out of the fifty years OF
her administration under the constitution,
has been guided by the landmarks laid down
By Jefferson and fixed by its Democratic ex-
Founders, and no true Democrat, in this cri-
sis. and with the glorious future that is op-
ening upon us, should be found wanting to
himself his party, or his country. That cu-
ty, we firmly believe he can fulfil only BY
laying aside all personal considerations, all
sectional jealousies all ordinations OF the
past or the present, and resolving that for the
future his governing principle shall be the
Union of the Democratic party, North, West
and South. upon the Baltimore Platform for
the salvation of the Union

Strange Discovery Of a Murder

a murder has Just come to light in Brad
ford, England, which bad been hidden for
fifteen years, and which compares in the
mode of its developement with the celebrate
ell crime OF Eugene Aram. About the year
1888, young man, named Stephen Carlin
who did a lucrative business as a cattle deal
er, suddenly disappeared in the most mvste-
rious manner, and though search was made
for HIM in every direction, and inquiries in
stltnted all over the realm, no Iidngs could
be gathered OF his Whereabouts. The last
that had been seen of him was while walking
IN company with a cousin named Jonathan
Bland, who sometimes shared in his specu-
latons partner. Bland explained where
Car'in left him on the day of his disappear
ance, but when pressed by further inquiries
exhibited peevshness, and suggested that
Cariin had absconded 10 this country with
all his money, for the purpose Of defraudng
his creditors. This story was at last recev-
ed, poor Carlin became almost forgotten,
and Bland, who had quietly slipped into his
run OF business, thrlved fast and became
rich. There were those, however, who all
the while regarded Bland's prosperity with
suspicious eye, and finally their mstrusts
were brought TO a conclusion on the 30lh of
May. On the afternoon of that day, some
iaoorers VINO were engaged IN digging on
the moor which Bland and Carlin were last
seen TO cross, exllumed a human body, in a
remarkable state of preservation. The anti
septic qualities of the peat had prevented it
from decay, and after short scrutiny il was
discovered to be The murdered body Of the
missing Stephen CarliD. The skull bore
The marks of fracture, and the grave gave
indications that the body had been rudely
buried. In the same pit, a knife belonging
TO Bland was found, which it is presumed
had been used after the victim was stunned
for the purpose of dispatch. Bland was ar
rested Immediately upoa these discoveries
being made, but no admissions were obtain
ed from him beyond the exhibition ofa strong
alarm. An examination has been instituted
by the magistrates of Burnsey, and though
the particulars are not published il is said
they are very powerful against the prisoner,
Truly il may be said that murder will out.

INTERESTING FAcr IN RELATION TO GEN

INTERESTING FAoT IN RELATION TO Gen.
CAss.- During The nuIli6catlon excitement
in South Caroliua, or rather when that ex-
element had risen to its highest pitch, the
Richmond Enquirer published letter writ
len by Patriot and Statesman calling
on ,be Legislature of Virginia, then in ses.
sion, to send a commissioner to South Caro-.
lima who might act as mediator between tIla,
State and the General Government. The
Legislature Of Virginia promptly responded
to The call, and Mr William Watkins Lee
was despatched on the mission of peace
He Was received with great distraction by the
Governor and all the authorities Of South
Carolina, and in great degree succeeded in
allaying the excitement. The author of the
letter was Lewis Cass, then Secretary OF
War under Gen. Jackson. The anecdote Is
certainly very interesting at this period, and
proves Gen. Cass to stand now where he
stood eighteen years ago-on the platform
of the Union and the Constitutions wise,
generous and patriotic statesmen.
