4 Novel Attachment to an ArmY--The
Dead Soldiers to be Embaimed.

Or. Holmes, we'll known as a successful
embalmlng Surgeon of Brooklyn, yesterday
received HIS commission as Surgeon in the
United States army, to embalm those who
may be killed in the battle or otherwise.
whose bodies II is desirable to preserve for
transportation or other purposes. The Doc
tor, II will be remembered, embalmed Cook.
the partner of John Brown in .he Harper s
Ferry insurreetlon. with great success. He
therefore, thinks he has sore knowledge oi
how Southern killed bodies should be treat
ed. He has also operated very successfully
in New Orleans and other Southern cities.
The Doctor has received instruction to re-
port himself at Washington forthwith, and
will depart thence early this week. where he
will establish his head quarters till ordered
elsewhere. Preparations have teen made
for an extensive business.
The necessary apparatus has been madt
for embalming three bodies at a time, aud
three hogsheads Of embalming hnid have
been made. and will be carried to Washing
ton by the Doctor. This will embalm abou
| nine hundred bodies. The method by which
dead bodies are preserved by this process i:
TO open an artery in the wrist and inject 4
quantity OF this fluid into the veins and ar
teIies. We have seen bodies in perfect
state Of preservation which were EN-
balmed by this process eight years ago, ant
they are perfectly sound 10 day. We hop,
the Doctor will not have occasion 10 use th'
whole Of his fluid upon the federal army
He expresses the hope that II employed upor
any one of celebrity, il will he no less
parsonage than Jeff. Davis. He would tax
especial pleasure in injecting a very larg
amount OF embalmiDg fluid in his veins an
rendering him as marble statue. IL New Yor

A Pyramid of Serpents.

writes:
"In the savannahs OF lzichbo, in
Guiana, saw the most terrible specs

il is not uncommon to the inhabit-
ants. no traveller has ever mentioned
it. We were men on horseback,
two OF whom took the lead, in order
to sound the passage, while prefer
red to skirt the forest. One Of the
blacks who stormed the vanguard
returned at full gallop and called to
me, "here, sir, come and see the
serpents in q pile " He pointed out
to me something elevated in the
middle Of the savannah, or swamp,
which looked like a bundle Of arms,
One of my company then said, This

Trip Of the Maid of the Mist Through
the RaDids.

Yesterday afternoon one OF the
most perilous voyages ever chroni
cled was made by the little steamer
Maid Of tie Mist, in which 30 many
pleasure seekers have, in times past
voyaged to the lace of the immense
sheet Of water which constitutes the
famous Falls Of Niagara. It ap
pears that the boat had never been
paying property, and her owner has
incurred some indebtedness which
was about to result in her seizure.
To avoid this catastrophe che was
yesterday taken down the river
through the Whirlpool, and arrive
safely at Lewiston. The daring
navigator who accomplished this
hitherto supposed to be impossible
feat was none other than Rpbinson,
the man who has so often rendered
himself conspicuous by his intrepid.
ity in saving life and property en-.
dangcrcd by proximity to the great
cataract.
Tho Maid of the Mist got mp
steam about half past three o'clock,
and showed off into the stream from
her landing. She had on board on
ly three persons - Robinson and one
other man at tho wheel, and the
third below, to act as Fireman and
Engineer. The boat ran up stream
u short distance, As if to get good
start, and then her Prov was point
ed with tho current, and away she
went, tho few spectators on shore
holding their Breath with suspense.
How the adventures on board felt
we have no means Of kno wing.
As she entered the rapids every
eye was strained; as the gallant lit
tie craft surmounted hillnw after hi.
low, under the skillful guidance Of
her pilot, and passed each ordeal in
safety, the utmost enthusiasm was
manifested. At one point, however,
a thrill of horror struck the hearts OF
the watchers, for the Maid Of the
Mist appeared to have capsized.
The surprise was only for on instant.
Tor she Immediately righted with the
loss Of her smoke stack, and passed
on, otherwise unharmed. To run
the whirlpool, though hazardous,
was still q lees hazardous exploit
than the passage Of the rapids, and
she did it without trouble; and
those who beheld the boat emerging
into comparatively still water drew
long sigh Of relief.
1t was terrible ordeal. as it has
long been taken for granted that nc
craft as email as that could live a
moment in the seething cauldron oI
the rapida, or escape from the whirl'
pool after entering its circ'e. No
other craft. either large or small
has ever attempted to perform the
trip. The Mutt of tie Mist will
never again be seen in the theater o
her past history. To ascend the
rapids is a physical impossibility fol
a steamer OF any power. = ROchcsteI
Democrat, Juae7
