THE WEEKLY PIoNEER . AND, DEMOCRAT



Princess Dorothea, Duchess of Sagan,
died, as already stated, q few weeks ago,
on the l9thtof September last, at her roy
al residence. She retained her extreme
beauty almost to the day of her DEATH and
wonderful stories are told of the arts she
employed to preserve the perfection of
graces with which nature had gifted her.
Her intellect, too, was unimpaired to the
last, and the closing years OF her career
were occupied! I'M the compilation Of me-
moirs, destinedto see the light of day at
the same periodas the historical notes of
Prince Talleyrand, ordered by solemn in
junction, to remain unopened for thirty
years after. the death of the writer / 1t is
very likely, therefore, that the year, 1868
may reveal much that is yet dark in the
history. of Europe during the Napoleonic
period, showing how mighty events, pro-
duced by the armed struggle of millions,
under the guidance of military genius, have
been not unfrequently counteracted by the
silent intrigues of a few bold and restless
spirits. Even the Mephistopheles of the
French revolution, and arch-kiplomatist of
the nineteenth century, must needs APP
pear in new light when seen under the
inspiration Of the fair eyes of a German
princess. a sregsyan Ia b,ss .yam ,sg

Bishop Whipple reached home few
days ago, after an absence of nearly three
months. The Bishop is never idle, and he
has crowded more than his usual amount
of labor into the three months of his alb
sence from his Diocese. He visited Wash
ington, at the request Of Gov. Ramsey,
to urge upon the administration some
measures for the protection Of our border.
From thence he visited the battlefield of
Antietam, and ministered to the wants of
the dying and wounded soldiers. From
there he went to New York to attend the
General Convention of the Church, While
absent, he remembered the sufferings of
the hundreds who are the victims of In.
dian barbarity, and bis benevolent efforts
alone have swelled the refugee fund of the
State, for the relief of these homeless wan
derers, by several thousand dollars. He

an account Of the remarkable power pos
sessed by the eagle Of instantancously
arresting himself while dropping through
the air at certain spot, with folded wings
even when descending from a height Of
3 900 or 1 900 feet. when circling so
high up that he shows but rs dot, he
will suddenly close both wings, and, fall
ing like au aeroite, pass through the in
tervenng space in 4 few seconds Of time.
With Il burst, his broad pinions are again
unfolded; his downward progress is ar
rested. and he sweeps away horizontally,
smoothly, and without effort. lie has
been seen to do this when carrying a
sheep of twenty-six pounds weight in
his talons; and from so giddy height
