exhibitions Of crime which shock the moral sense
Of community, was perpetrated in St. Lonis, re-

Caharine Stiegler, wife OF German carpenter.
The husband had gone out in company with his
two eldest daughters, to drink beer at garden in
the peghborhood, leaving his wife IN bed with her
infant child. The murderer clandestnely entered
her bedroom with club in his hard, and deal
her two terrific blows zone over the left ear, ant
another over the eye-frscturing the skull anC
killing her instantly. So instantaneous was he
death that the infant child was found clasped il
her arms, unwskened by the atrocity. The muir
derer is not known.

A FATAL DRINKING WAGER.-A foolish wa
ger was made at wine shop in Paris which re-
suited in death. Alta breakfast, where the con-
versation turned on the quantity of drinks person
could take, bricklayer named Florentne made a
bet that he could drink twelve glasses of wine
while the clock of the Tuileries was striking
twelve. He drank three glasses before the clock
had struck three times. AT the next glass he
stopped TO breathe. At the seventh he began to
drink more slowly, but making and effort he
drank off the eighth glass. He then turned very
pale, and breatted with difficulty. His friends
wished TO stop the wager, but he said he would
go on, come what might, and swallowed the
ninth glass. He had hardly empted the glass,
when he fell down senseess. A surgeon was
sent for, but in spite of all his efforts the foolish
man died in three hours.

The AndersonvlIIe Prisoners - The Southern
- Side Of the story.

The following extract is from E. A. Pollard's
last work, entitled the Lost Cause:
But the history Of the extraordinary efforts OF
the Confederate authorities 10 relieve the suffer
ings Of Andersonville, through some resumption
of exchanges, does not end with the proposition
referred 10 as made by Commissioner Ould, to ex-
change man for man, and leave The surplus at the
disposition of the enemy. 1t was followed by
another more liberal and extraordinary PROPOSE
ton. Acting under the direct instructions OF the
Secretary of War, and seeing plainly that there
was no hope Of any general or extended partial
system of exchange, Commissioner Ould in
August, 1868, offered to the Federal Agent of ex-
change, Gen. milford, 10 deliver TO him all the
sick and wounded Federal prisoners we had, with
out insisting upon the delivery OF any equivalent
number of prisoners in return. He also Informed
Gen. milford Of the terrible mortality among the
Federal prisoners urging him to be swift in send
ing transportation 10 the mouth Of the Savannah
river, for the purpose of taking them away. The
offer Of Commissioner Ould included all the sick
and wounded at Andersonville and other Confed-
crate prisons.
| He further informed Gen. Mulfori, in order TO
make his Government safe in sending transporta-
ton that IL the sick and wounded did not amount
to Ten or fifteen thousand men, the Confederate
authorities would make up that number in wei
men. The offer, It will be recollected, was made
early in August, 1853. Gen. milford informed
Commissioner Onld that it was distinctly commu.
nicated to his Government, yet no timely advan.
tage was ever taken of IT.
This interesting and important fact is for thu
first time authoritatvely published in these pages
1t contains volumes of significance. The question
occurs who was responsible for the suffering of III,
sick and wounded prisoners at Andcrsonville
from August to December, 1868 ? The world vii
ask with amazement if it was possible that thou
sands of prisoners were left 10 die in inadequate
places of confinement merely to make case agains
the South-merely for romance. The single fac
gives the clue to the whole story Of the deception
and inhunan cruelty of the authorities at Wash
ington with reference to their prisoners of war
the key to chapter of horrors that even the hard
hand of history shakes to unlock.

The Last Surrender.

II has been thought that the last OF General Lee 8
army had made its final surrender long ago; but
this is not SO. On Wednesday, four Confedera'e
soldiers with names and descriptive lists as follows
Anthony Monkts, company E, so Georgia In.
fantry, Third Army Corps, Army of Northern
Virginia; Thomas Wells, do, James Brinberier,
do, and Allen Tewksbery, AID Louisiana do, en-
tered Petersburg, Va, with their mukets and ac-
couerments, stacked arms in front of headquarters,
seat in word that they were the remnant of the
Army Of Northern Virginia, and that they wish
ed TO surrender upon the conditions accorded to
the main body. They represented that after the
Appomatox Court House fight they were "cnt off,
and resolving never TO surrender, bid themselves in
cave on the banks of the Appomatox river, some
miles from Petersburg, and have subsisted ever
since that time upon fish rom the river, corn,
"stray pigs caught away from their mothers,'
and whatever thew could gather by securing the
country. At length, learning that The Confeder.
acy was certainly "gone up," they thought better
of their first determination, and accordingly gave
themselves up. They were very ragged and FL
thy, but the citizens furnished them with new
suits, and the commandant, who WAS amused at
the incident, sent them off 10 their homes rejoic-
ing.
