guests who partook OF sumptuous
collation.. 1t is needless to say that the
reunion was peculiarly enjoyable by

BURIED ALIVE. - A horrible case Of
burying alive is reported to have &C.
Cured in Jacksonville, Illinois. A
beautiful young lady of seventeen, en-
gagged to be married. was found in her
bed one morning to all appearances
dead. Several physicians examined the
body and pronounced her so. She had
taken chloroform for her teeth, and there
seemed no possible doubt that the dose
had been fatal one. She was buried.
A few days since, her relatives, being
about to remove to another State, de-
sired to take the remains with them.
They opened the coffin and were horror
stricken to fad the corpse turned over,
both hands full of hair and the clothing
torn to shreds. Chloroform had placed
her in deep trance, from which she
awoke to find herself in her coffin and
her grave.

The Queen determined to dissolve the
Cortes, on account OF their criticisms

a protest from several OF the deputies.
This being known, none but conserva-

attempted to present an address to the
Queen were seized and exiled. The

IRRITABILITY OF ILLNESS who
are blessed with health can never know,
till they are in turn called upon to sut-
fer, what heroic strength of spirit lies
hidden under the mask of silent, uncom-
planning suffering; how strong the
temptations are to be unreasonable, pet
fish or repining how difficult it is to
be grateful, and still more to be anna
BILE, when the irritation of every nerve
renders the most skillful attendance irk-
some, and the dearest presence q burden;
when the irritated frame loathes the
sunshine of smile, and breads the tear
and the cloud, where all is pain and
WEAKNESS, and bitterness Let the
healthy lay these things ever to heart,
and while they scrupulously perform
their duty - while they reverence the
fortitude and patience of the gentle and
resigned, let them have pity upon many
a poor and querulous sufferer; upon
their side, let the sick not forget that
the reverence and love thus excited are
as the elixir Of life to their often wea-
ried and over-taxed attendants; quick
ening them to exertion by the sweetest
of influences, instead Of exhaustlng them
with the struggle to perform an I'M

ing power to the court to sentence the
prisoner to the School, with the alterna-
tive if the school was full or the boy did
not conform to the regulations, that he

MURDER OF GEN. JOSEPH BAILEY
A letter to the Milwaukee Sentinel gives
additional particulars concerning the
murder Of General Joseph Bailey in Mis-
souri,. General Bailey had settled in
Vernon County, and last fall had been
elected sheriff, into the discharge of the
duties of which Office he carried the
same energy which be displayed on Red
River. The population among WHOM
he settled was largely composed OF II seize
and bushwhackers, and in the course .
his duty he was often in danger. On tic
day of his death he was given writs for
the arrest of two bushwhackers, to
whose residence he proceeded alone
They agreed to go with him, but de-
clared they would not give up their
arms. and when last seen the three were
riding peaceably along together. Not
returning, search was made for the gen
eral the next day, and his body was
found in 8 rsvine, with ball through
the back Of his neck, and his horse, arms
aud money missing. Five thousand dol.

and animated made on the floor OF the
Senate, and get a good share OF atten'
tion accordingly and their effect Is In
creased by the merry smile which con-
stantly plays over the features OF the
Senator, and the twinkle of his eyes
as he puts his points straight
to the person he Is talking at, Dir. Nye
Is one of the extreme radicals who SAYS
precisely what he means, without soft
ening of terms, as wnen he declared re-
Gently that he had no desire to hurry the
rebel communities back into Congress,
but would much prefer 10 propel them
the other way.
The other Senator from Nevada, Mr..
Stewart, is striking contrast In per-
sonal appearance to his colleague, and
seems much more suitable representa-
tive of the wild, rough region from
which he comes. He Is tall man, with
q heavy growth Of red hair,-though
bald in the centre of the head, and a
long auburn beard, hiding half his face
and flowing in undulating masses over his
chest. His features are refined, ana his
hands especially small and delicate but
the most prominent traits OF his APP
pea.ance, above mentioned, make him
seem Just the man to come from the
rough mining region to the national
councils. He too, has flow of words,
and a rapid earnest, and rather spread
eagleish style of oratory,-says some
thing, without having anything special
to say, on almost every subject that is
up, and manages to get Off some exceed
ingly tedious speeches, to his own en-
tire satisfaction.

A REMARKABLE CoINCIDENCE.-It is a
remarkable coincidence that the Union
Republican State Central Committee Of
the old Commonwealth of Virginia
have called a Convention to organize u
State Government under Military Re-
construction Law, TO meet on Wednes'
day, the 18th day of April, 1867. On
the 18th day of Adril, 1861, the Conven-
ton of Virginia passed the ordinance OF
secession that took the State ont OF the
Union, that the letters upon the black
race might be more firmly riveted. In
precisely six years another Convention,

tinction OF race or color, will meet IN
the same capital, to adopt measures TO

AMERICAN IMPEACHMBNTs.--There have
been few cases of impeachment in the
United States Congress. VIM. Blount,
Senator from Tennessee, was i'm
peached in 1897 for having intrigued to
transfer New Orleans and the neighbour
ing districts to Great Britain by means
of a joint expedition of English and In
dams. A long time was spent in dis
cussing the affair, and it was finally
dropped by the House, the Senate hav-
ing passed a resolution of expulsion.
The proceedings resulted in a great in
crease Of Mr.. Blount's popularity, and
he was Immediately afterward elected
to the State Senate, and chosen its Pres
ident. The case Of John Pickering,
Judge Of the District Court of the Dis
trict of New Hampshire, who was i'm
peached in March, 1903, is peculiar
one. There were four charges. The
first three referred to certain illegal pro-
ceedings taken in the Judges Court in
reference to ship seized for violation Of
the revenue laws. The fourth alleged
that he was man of loose morals and
Incorporate habits, and that on certain
specified occasions he had appeared on
the bench in a state of total intoxication,
and had been then and there guilty of
profanity and other disgraceful INSIDE
meanors. The trial began March 8, and
closed on the 18th, a verdict of guilty
being rendered on all the charges, and
Judge Pickering was removed from
Office. But it was clearly shown on the
trial that the accused had been for sew
eral years totally deranged.

THE New JERSEY LEGIsLATURE.-Gov.
Ward of New Jersey has vetoed the
Incidental Bill" passed by the Legisla-
ture, because it provides for the payment
OF various items called Stationary"
amounting to S22,502, while the sum of
SOB has already been paid out Of the
treasury for stationary and postage
stamps for the Legislature. Reckoning
this last sum, the total would equal
more than $3.50 to each member of the
Legislature. 1t also appears that q
large proportion Of the sum already ex-
pended has been paid In money directly
to members. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that the bill is Fan actual, though in
direct, mode Of providing additional
compensation to the members Of the
Legislature beyond the amount limited
by the Constitution. Consequently the
Governor feels bouLd to veto it,although
he considers the compensation Of the
members inadequate.

A REMARKABLE ,CAsB.-A correspond
ent of the Sentinel at RiChford says that
about a mile north OF East Fairfield,
lives Silas Potter, man fortyfve years
of age, who for the last eighteen years
has been scarcely able to distinguish the
brightest day from the darkest night.
By the generosity Of Mr.. Nathaniel Eos
ter, he has an acre Of land, on which he
has managed to get q small comfortable
house and barn, Ee succeeds in sup
porting family of four persons: him
self, wife and two daughters; the old.
est Of feeble health, and the other too
Young to be Of assistance. An only
son, his fathers hope and dependence,
died some years since. His wife assists
by weaving and other branches of in
dustry his corn and potatoes he gets
by taking land of his neighb9rs upon
the shares which he cultivates with his
own hands-changing work with his
neighbors to do his planting, and other
work which he is unable to lay out. He
does his own hoeing, harvesting, and
also saws fire wood and threshes grain
by hand with a facility almost incredi-
bic. He goes about the neighborhood
and frequented fields unattended; but
when wishing to go to q distant field
some of the family or nelghbor con
duct him through difficult way. The
town once assisted him to the amount
of five dollars for doctors bill, at a
time when he had been laid up a long
time with a severe cut on his foot. With
the exception of two or three similar
cases, he has supported his family with
his own hand, through nineteen long
dreary years Of darkness. His task
however, has been very much lightened
by his being located in kind and
friendly neighborhood.

Coon ADVICE. - The following eX-
tract from a letter by J. Q. A. Fellows
ESQ, a prominent lawyer of New Or
leans, native Of Vermont, addressed to
the editor of the Times newspaper Of
that city, contains more good sense than
we have seen in any other Of the thous-
and exhortations made of late to the
southern people;
Many, most l may say, propose to
accept and act under the terms of the
military bill, thereby acknowledging
with myself the mistake in our former
policy. But let US beware how and in
what spirit we thus act. The only
thing which can induce US as people
thus to act is the hope of ending the
controversy-of finally ending it. We
should in this remember, bear always in
mind, the great question of the war, and
act so that all shall be convinced of our
sincerity in giving up our side Of that
question, forever giving it up. The
question then now is, not simply shall
we accept and act under this BILL but
the manner of acting. 1t will do US no
SO0Q OUT only dOu 10 our present. evils W
take 1t with a protest, to keep it in the
letter, but at the same time say that we
do so only under Compulsion, and will
repudiate it as soon as we can safely do
so. This will do US no good. We will
have accepted the bill, but with such
grace that we shall more than ever be
believed to be insincere, and which may
lead to other measures much more OBJ
jectionable. If we accept it at all, then
let US do so in real good faith in every
act and word. If we cannot do that we
had better let it alone. If we can bring
our minds to do so, let US accept it and
act, under the provisions of the law, in
this spirit as we'll as letter, with a de-
termination to adhere to them In all
future time, and show by our acts, with
q force, too, to carry conviction, that the
i idea in the late great strife, that we are
| not one people, but confederation o.
peoples, was mistake and has been for
ever repudiated and abandoned. If &c,
act sOitb this determination oar acceptance O
the bill wM be beneficial If not, we haC
better let the whole affair alone and pre-
pare for the consequences certain to fol
