TENACITY OF LIFE.

A remarkable instance of the preservation of life
without sustenance for heightened period has late
ly occurred at Ponikan, near Grossenhayn, in Sax
ony. On the Sth of December last two brothers
named Muschter were engaged in digging a deep
well, when the earth fell in and completely buried
them A third brother went down immediately,
but was not able to perceive the slightest sound.
Some miners were then set to work, and dug tor
some days. but without success; and it was so gen.
orally believed that the poor fellows could not pos
sibly be alive, that orders had been given that, un
less the relatives insisted on proceeding further,
the well should be filled up, and a monument to the
memory of the Muschters erected over it. Eight
days had already elapsed since the accident but the
mother of the entombedwould not give up all hope,
and some fresh hands began to work again, though
only in the expectation of finding the corpses: lie
their astonishment, however, they suddenly heard
from below the words, "Do not strike so hard. =
A conversation commenced the work was pushed
forward with renewed diligence, and at length
crowned with success.
On the 18th of December after they had been
eleven days and four hours in this living grave the
two Muschters were rescued and brought to the
surface The earth that had fallen in had left .
kind of cave above them. Their only sustenanct
during this long period had been the water that
had oozed through the earth, and a little tobacco
which they had chewed They had watch with
them, which they wound up regularly, and were
therefore able to keep an account of the time O
their burial. At first they lighted luciter matche:
to see the time, but when these were all used they
felt the hands. They had heard the conversation
above them respecting the filling up OF the well
and shouted, but could not make themselves heard
They had also sung hymns together and the people
at the surface had heard them family, but being
not little superstitous had attributed it to th'
ANGELS in the air

SHERIDAN's ORDER.-General Sheridan has a1-
ded noting to his reputation by refusing to allow
the citizens of Galveston to give civil escort,
from the steamer to the cars, to the remains Of
General Johnston" 1t is true that General John
ston was rebel, and that he died in the cause Of
the Confederacy; but the rebellion has passed
away, and we can see no impropriety in allowing
the people of the South to honor whom they please
in civil capacity. If the proposal had been to
give military honors to the remains Of General
Johnston, the case would be different. If the Con:
federate uniforms, flags, or any other appurtenan-
ces of the rebellion were to have been displayed on
the occasion, then the action of General Sheridan
might be justified But so far as appears from the
correspondence, there was to be nothing more than
a civil escort short distance through the city.
Does General Sheridan or anybody else propose to
take from the Southern people the affection which
they feel for men who fought and died by their
side during the late war? If the South had con-
quered the North, would not VIC, cherish the men,
o1y of our heroes quite as much as we now do ?
General Sheridan course is not calculated to hast
en- the era of fraternity and concord ebetween the
North and South, and we fail to see how it can re-
ceive the endorsement of sober, thoughtful and
considerate men-NeU York Sun.

The democrats Of the Fourth Congressional
district Of Connecticut yesterday nominated
William 81 Barnum, Of Salisbury, a their can
didate for Congress So there arc nov two
Barnums in the field -Barnum, OF Salisbury.
and Barnum, Of Bridgeport; Barnum the hon
man and Barnum the Snowman. The demo-
cratic Barnum Is . man OF large wealth and
solid reputation, identified with the business
interests Of the district and possessing the
respect and confidence Of the community. It
is said that he Is very desirous Of defeating his
namesake and win prosecute the canvass with
vigor.
We have no doubt that Barnum tie man q
iron, would make . substantial and vaiuabis
representative in CongresA There y need q
such men there. But he would not bs -
much at home at Washington a. would Barnnn
the Snowman. The latter has been used 10
menageries all his lifetime. He has associated
with old negressss, fat women, Feejee msr-
maids and learned seals for years Monstrosf-
ties of all kinds are his delight He would bs
Invaluable in showing up John Morrissey and
Ben Butler to visitors from the rural districts.
He is, moreover, fitting representative for
the wooden nutmeg State, which will lose
nothing of the character it already enjoys BY
sending him to Congress.
II has been suggested by some who know
Barnum the Snowman that he might play .
shrewd trick upon his opponent by passing
himself of as Barnum the iron man wherever
he could make votes by the operation. This,
however, would be a dangerous game. Bar
mum once exhibited a petrifed horse and rider,
said to have been discovered In Demerara and
brought to New York at heavy expense. For
some time the frequentcrs of bis museum gazed
with curiosity and wonder upon the remark
able petrifaction; but one day rascally visitor
struck it with cane, when Aff came the leg Of
the rider and the tail Of the horse, and the dis
covery was made that il was nothing but
plaster of Paris. II would take as little to en-
pose the difference between Barnum the show
man and Barnum the man Of iron.
