Extraordinary Exhibition.

An exhibition of a very remarkable
and unnatural character attracted a
small but highly respectable audience
at the Melodeon on Thursday evening
last. A young man by the name OF
Jas. Steavens, had advertised that he
would do many wonderful things in
the way of cutting himself up with
knives, mailing his feet, arms and legs
to chairs, to the wall, etc; which as
tonishing exploits he proceeded to ex-
hibit at the appointed hour, in the
presence of a number of physicians of
celebrity, including mcmters of the
Medical Faculty of Transy lvania Uni
versity, and other learned professors,
who were invited to the stand, that
they might detect any fraud or decept-
ion, if practiced. He began by dri
wing handful of pins, up to the head,
into Lis legs, then drove an awl
through the middle of his wrist into
chair drove knife through the
muscle Of his leg; nailed his foot to a
wooden shoe, the nail or awl passing
through the middle of the foot, and SO
walked about the stage cut his dexter
finger through the tleshy part, exhibit
ing the naked bone, and concluded by
passing knife through his cheek, the
blade protruding from his mouth. Ia
all this very little blood was drawn
He also offered to drive knife through
each leg and hang himself from the
wall, which the audience mercifully ex-
cused him from doing, feeling satisfied
that he could accomplish whatever he
proposed. About the whole proceed
ure there was no sort of bumbug, as
the eyes of divers gentlemen who
we're upon the stand, we're steadily fix
ed upon him. aud any "unbelieving
Thomas had an opportunity to touch
the knife blade on the opposite side to
that into which it had been thrust, of
the leg, wrist or hand. He used few
galvanized rings about his person,
which was probably more for show
than anything else, as they could effect
nothing. Mr.. Steavens looks not to be
more than twenty or twenty one years
Of age. Before closing, he proposed
to Operate in similar manner upon
any one Of the audience, agreeing to
forfeit 81, 900 if he inflicted pain. This
however, was prudentIy declined. We
saw this man Of leather early yesterday
morning, looking as fresh and schols as
though the knife or nail had never

His ows Daas 6ass-.aisssA Dsssseess. |
from the Albany standard. Suiyl4 !
Some fifteen years ago man named
George Bristol, left this city for the
shores of the Pacific. At the time
he left. he had wife and one child,
the latter only three years old. They
resided in the town Of Westerlo. AT
that time his wife and child were liv-
ing with her father. Some two years
after, the father and mother Of this
woman died, their estate disposed OF
to satisfy mortgages, and Mrs. Bristol
and her child were thrown upon the
cold charities Of the world for liv-
ing. She was very feeble in health,
and of course was unable to take care
of herself.
The mother and child came to this
city, where they lived for some five
years, at the expiration of which time
the mother died, and the girl was left
alone in the world, to do as best she
could. Being now about ten years
old, and smart, active, goodlooking
girl, she soon found a situation in q
respectable family. Here she remain
ed till she was 5 years old, when she
bound herself out to q milliner. She
served three years at that business.and
had become mistress of her profession.
Now, the strangest portion of this re-
violation is to be told. The girl is now
over Is years old, and perfect model
OF her sex.
During this long interval it must be
remembered that the girl lost all track
of her father. Her beauty attracted
the attention and admiration OF a
spruce looking gentleman who met her
on Broadway. lie was man Of about
forty years, but his appearance did
not indicate that he had seen over 25
summers. An acquaintance was made
between her and the gentleman above
alluded to, and q final engagement
entered into for marriage. The day
was set and all the necessary arrange
ments made for the ceremony.
On the appointed day the pair &C
companicd by their respective friends,
met for the purpose Of having the
plighted ones joined in wedIock. Just
before the minister commenced the
marriage rites, an old couple entered.
They we're formerly neighbors of the
Bristol family, and had watched the
girl grow up from infancy, and were
now anxious to sec the choice she had
made in a partner for life. Imagine
the surprise of ali about, when the
old couple above referred to recognized
in the imam Of the girls heart" hel
legitimate father.
For moment all was amazement
and sadness, but on the state of things
being fully realized, the scene turned
to one of JOY. An absent father had
recovered lost daughter and the as
sembled throng of friends was highly
delighted that the affair had resulted
as it did. The love that had before
burned SO brightly between the twain
lad now become flame as unextin-
guished as the fires OF Nesuvius. a
queer world, this.

Observation-Disclosures Up Of the Austrian
Emplree
Correspondence OF the London Times

Correspondence OF the London Times
VERONA, Saturday. June %.
The officers of the Italian regiments state
that the men under their command daily
become more difficult to manage, and facts
have come to my knowledge which induce
me to think it would be wise to disarm all
of them. 1t was q great mistake to send
Italian regiments to Italy, and it proves to
be very difficult to bring them back again.
The Italian soldiers desert by s. ores and
fifties, and they sometimes chow fight when
run to earth by other troops.
You may be sure that We are on the eve
of important changes in Austria as the
Emperor has obtained great insight into
The actual state OF affairs during the last
two months, and has acquired proof posi-
tive that he has been deceived by many Of
the persons around him. His majesty is
said to look deadly pale, and to be extreme
~ cast down. Every one feels that the EN-
pire must go to the dogs if the whole sys-
tenn is not speedily char ged. The Tyrolese
are resolved to defend their country to the
very last against the French and Sardini-
ans; but they make no secret of their de-
termination not to lay down their arms,
when the war is at an end. until they have
come to satisfactory understanding with
the Government. OF Hungary there is
nothing more to be said, than that it is like.

can the sword bayonet give thrust for

the French soldier 10 taught to WELD his
weapon BY posing it like . quarter staff

We have received the initial num-
Der Of this able Democratic campaign
journal, published at burlington and
conducted BY that stauuch Democrat
and able writer, Gen. J. NJ. Morgan, OF
Burlington. The War Eagle is start
ed for the campaign, and most able
instrument for the success OF the Dem
ocratic arms we claim it will be. lhe
number before us bears the imprint oil
tb At strength and yigor which 1t Is
plain to see, will characterize the cam
paign now opening, and We trust 1t
will meet with hearty and general
support throughout the entire State
As we have said before, We say again.
that the success of the contest does
not devolve entirely upon the nomi-
nations, nor yet upon the individual
and collective energy Of the candidates
who take the stump, but a great deal
depends upon circulating broadcast
throughout the State, Democratic doc
uments and Democr attic newspapers.
Let the War Eagle circulate; let
sound Democratic organs be found in
every nook and corner in the State.
In his Introductory remarks General
Morgan says:
ITO our political friends we pledge our
unceasing and best efforts until the eagles
Of the d :mocracy shall settle In triumph
upon the democratic bsDners In October
next. To our political opponents we shall
give the best battle In our power, treating
them a, gentlemen when they will permit
Us to do 90, and promising to such OF them
az may survive the conflict and become
prisoners, all the magnanimity and generosi-
ty due to the unfortunate IN war. We have
no earthly doubt as to the result Of the sp-
preaching contest. The signs Of demo-
cratic success are visible all around and
about us--the very clouds a. they float
atove Us almost seem to reflect back upon
us the foregone decision Of the great macs
es OF our people. Repub!icanism has rot
ted out 10 its very boots at the Capitol and
there Is none 30 POOR as to do 1t reverence.
