4 WoxDGEyuL TALE ABOUT GENERAL HAY
sAu's CoRpsE.-A most extraordinary account
has reached US in prisa ate letter from Vienna to
a high parsonage here, and has been the talk Of
our savans for the last few days. 1t appears
that the circumstances Of the death of General
Hsynau presented phenomenon ofthe most aw
full kind on record. For many days after death
the warmth Of life yet fingered in the right arm
and left leg Of the corpse, which remained limpid
and moist, even bleeding slightly when pricked.
No delusion, notwithstanding, could be maintain
cd as to the reality Of DEATH for the other parts Of
the body Were completely mortified, and inter-
,neut became necessary before the two limbs had
become either stiff or cold. The writer Of the
letter mentioned that this strange circumstance
produced the greatest awe in the minds of those
who witnessed it, aud that the Emperor had be-
come so impressed with it that his physicians had
forbidden the subject to be alluded to in his pres
sence. This statement was copied from French
paper immediately after the decease of General
Hsynsu was known in paris.-lrotes and Queries.

Now AND THEN.-The opposition to the Ne
bsaska bill now does not compare in intensity and
bitterness with the opposition of the federalists
and New England clergy to the original purchase
of Louisiana. Hon. josiah Quincy lately pre-
sided over an anti-Nebraska meeting at Boston.
He was in Congress in 1911, when Louisiana ap-
piled to be admitted as State, and on the 18th Of
january of that year made speech, in which he
said:
"If this bill passes, it is my deliberate opinion
THAT 1T IS VIRTUALLY A DISSOLUTION OF THE UN-
loN-rHAT IT WILL FREE THE STATES FROM
THEIR moRAL OBLIGATIONS, AND AS IT WILL BE
THE RIGHT OF ALL, so IT WILL BE THE DUTY OF
SOME, TO PREPARE FOR A SEPARATION, AMIcABLY
II THEY CAN, VIOLENTLY IF THEY MUST"

FAiLuRE TO PERFoRN.-lt appears that Mrs.

Our readers will recollect that she took advan-
tuyc Of the faror she created in England and
Scotland, to obtain pretty large contributions
trom factory girls and hod carriers, professGdly
for the benefit OF the colored people Of Am"ri-
ca. We have not heard OF these contributions
being appropriated, and from the annexed reso-
lutions sdopted by "the Massachusetts State
Council of Colored Americans, we concludc
they have not been Appropriated:
"R.so,rad, That when Mrs Stowe promised the
cslorcd people OF this country large Donation
frou, the funds collected from her friends and
,urs in Europe, for the establishment OF school
adapted to our wants. we rejoiced in the hope OF
crest and lasting good to our race from that no.
Bile enterprise.

contribution in aid Of our elevation has filled US
with uaicisned regret and modification. and COM
pelled us to believe that she has been acted upon
