THE extreme cold weather in this city
last week, proved excessively fatal to
aged persons-twenty-fve individuals
between 20 and 100 having died since
the last report Of the Board Of Health /;
fourteen between the ages of 20 and 80,
nine between. 80 and 80, aud two be-
tween 30 and 100. of these, nine died
Of pure old age. The tcnacity Of life
exhibited 10 some constitutions, is GER
tainly astonishing, and, taken in'con-
nection with the yigor Of intellect re-
tanned by many persons until a very late
period, shows that the vital force will
support human existence far beyond the
three-score years and ten, or even the
four-score, which are generally consid-
cred as the limit. With most, decay OF
mind accompanies bodily weakness, as
ia the case Of the we'll known Scottish
chieftaiu, who was in his old age rocked
to sleep in his cradle like q child, though
this incident has bean explained in an
other way, to-wit THAT the venerable
man was supported by an apparatus
like those used for fractures. On the
other hand, the fame Of intellect some
times burns brightly to the very last,
as is to be seen in the case Of Auber, the
famous composer, who, at the age OF
eighty-fve, has produced at Paris, an
opera, which was received with all the
enthusiasm that q critical audience
could display. Just 6fty-fve years have
elapsed since Auber's name first np-
peared on the play bills.-Phlddeiphn

Or all the papers in the United States
tho New York Herald has been the most
steadfast adherent Of President Johnson
during tho past four months, but it
seems that when his Accidency is about
to be kicked out Of Office even Bennett
gives him the cold shoulder. Mr.. Ben
nett consoles his.friend rs follows:
Before the recent revival OF the impeach-
ment project Mr.. johnson seemed likely to
appear in the history Of our Presidents as the
most conspicuous failure. He stood before
the world as a nan who had reached a great
position only to prove himtelf unequal to its
simplest requirements upon knowledge, judg-
ment, temper and tact. He was fairly going
to the worst place in that political limbo now
peopled by Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, with
half the country disposed to believe him in
competent, and the other half positively re-
gardjng him rs evil minded and trcacherous.
Any change from such a position in mems
thoughts must be for the better, and it is the
first result Of the movement OF the Radicals
that they have come to Mr.. Johnson's relief
and effected that change. Impeachment
keeps him forever from the poor obschrity
into which he was likely to fall, and immense
ly improves his record, whatever be the
result before the Senate; for if he shall be
found guilty, nothing can change the impress
sion in regard to his .martyrdom-to his hav-
ing been made the victim to the necessities
q party !; while, il he be acquitted, his Presi-
Dental term will close with the ecLat Of n
triumphant testimonial to his career in Office,
all the more valuable to him for coming from
his enemies,

THE miners in the Territories are
greatly exercised on the Indian reser-
walton proposed to be established in the
Black Hills country. This tract, about
one hundred mile, long by forty broad,
is situated in the eastern chain of the
Rocky Mountains, between the 43d and
45th degrees Of latitude, and the l03d
and lojth degrees of longitude west
from Greenwich. The inhabitants of
Dakota aud Montana desire to open n
railroad through this region to the East,
and argue that the permanent settlement
of the savage tribes will interfere mate
rally with the project. Again, the sons
Of the forest are not the most pleasant
neighbors, and on the slightest provoca-
ton will attack the white settlers ; the
horrible massacres in Minnesota are a
sufficient proof Of these statements. The
outbreak of 1862 has driven the current
Of emigration away from the western
boundary Of Minnesota, and the fear Of
a recurrence Of similar catastrophes has
aroused strong feeling on the subject.
What shall be done with the Indians is
rs important a question as any now
agitating the country.

of all Radicals at the action, which vir-
tually sustained the Chief Justice in his
views.
The Court Immediately adjourned till
tomorrow.
There is great dissatisfaction among
politicians to night ut the action Of the
Senate, and they assert that the presid-
ing officer ought to have been stripped
of all power, rendering him useless to
do harm If he so desired.
The supporters Of the President ex-
press satisfaction at the action of the
Senate.
It is expected there will be q large
crowd in attendance on the Senate to-
morrow, in anticipation that tho coun-
sci for the President will come prepared
to object to still further examination of
the witness who was on the stand ut tho
time Stanbety objected to-day.

A SHOCK CASE.
A Indy DlsEorgcs n Ccntipcd from her
Stomach.

From the Memphis Avalanche. March sth.l
We were shown yesterday by DR.. l..
n. Bruce, Of this city, n worm oil the
species known rs the ccntipcd, or" hun-
dred legs" which was, on Tuesday, last
placed in his hands for examination ny
Mrs. NJ. A. H.. u most estimnble lady OF
Raleigh. This worm, rs it would seem,
and we cannot doubt the statement Of
Mrs. H., was elected from her stomach
the day before it was handed to the Dr.;
and yet, more singular still, some three
weeks previous she disgorged some
eight or nine " bats or carthen-
worms" which were also preserved and
submitted to the medical attendant Of
the family. When shown us, the cent?
ped was still partially alive-that is to
say, one part of it was alive, though
dying by degrees, n peculiarly OF that
species Of the worm family. and n fact
which must remove all doubts rs to its
being any class of worms existing in tile
human system. We would also add
that the worm was submitted by DR..
Bruce to Il number of fellow members Of
the faculty in this place, and that no
one of tho number disscntcd from the
general opinion that it was non other
than a ccntiped. But how it came in
the stomach of the lady, is the question
which must puzzle those who are cog
infant of the fact that this variety of
the worm species is seldom If ever seen
in this part of the county, while the
lady, by whom it was disgorgcd, has
| not been ont Of the State for many
years. . DR.. B. expresses the opinion
that it must have been swallowed in the
larva state, and developed in the stom.
ach, but how it survived the action and
gastric juice of that organ must still re-
main q mystery. We are pleased to
learn that Mrs. II. is in good health,
though laboring under the revolving i'm.
preston that her stomach is still in
fected with these venomous worms, NJ
assurance to the contrary of which the
medical profession must be but slow to
give her under the circumstances we
have related. Whatever may exist in
her body, this thought lingering in her
mind cannot fail to render her life one
of constant dread and w~rctchedness,
until absolute conviction shall supplant
the awful apprehension. With this sim
pie statement of the facts rs they chme
to us through a channel Of undoubtcd
reliability, we respectfully turn the case
over TO the doctors.

A SINGULAR CASA DEAD CuILD
CmEs.-One of the most singular and
unaccountnble circumstances Of which
we have aver heard transpired u day or
two ago in this city. On last Wcdncs-
day IL son of Mr.. Patrick Moore, aged
nine years, died after several weeks
sickness. On Thursday he was 10 have
been buried, and n number of friends
of the family assembled to assist in the
funeral ceremonies. While tho parents
were in an adjoining room to the one in
which the corpse lny, giving vent 10
their grief over the loss Of their fnvorite
child, it opened its eyes and began to
cry in u loud voice, and tears streamcd
down its cheeks. Thus it continued to
do till the parents ceased weeping.
There were several persons present
when this extraordinary occurrence
took place, and they all vouch for its
truth.:Reokuk Conshtution, March tn.

TRIAL OF A CHINESE MURDERER

"A Chinaman named How Jung killed
a brother Chinaman in Montana, and
was put upon his trial formurder by the
" barbarian " authorities Of that Terri.
tory. The ceremony Of swearing Chinese
witnesses has some points of n move
character about it, Of which the sub
Joined extract from tho Helena Hcrdh
will give a fair understanding: -
All Lee was interpreter for the prose
cution, and Sam Wah for the. defense.
The ceremony of swearing the witness.
es and interpreters was u curious one,
inasmuch rs it was conducted, as far as
possible, in tho Chinese fashion. A copy
Of the usual oath to " tell the truth, the
whole TRUTH ETC., or to "truly inter
pref" as the case might be, was written
in Chinese and presented to each Of the
persons to be sworn, each one at the
same time putting a piece of red joss
paper, about four inches square, into
his pocket. Two roosters, which had
been in I" attendance upon Court +" for
nearly two days in order that they might
be ready for this ceremony, were now
brought In front Of the Judges desk,
in order that, through their ~martyrdom
in the cause Of justice, they might in
luence the Celestials to tell the truth
Rooster No. l now had his head laid
across a block Of wood, beside which
stood witness No. /. A hatehet being
handed to him-thc Celestial, not the
rooster-hc struck Il blow upon the neck
of the poultry specimen, and witnesses
No. 2 and 3 followed suit, tho third
blow dispatching the fowl. Rooster No.
Q was similarly served by the interpre-
tiers and remaining witness. While the
fowls were still bleeding and their blood
being caught in n plate, the persons
being sworn stood up before the Clerk
Of the Court and burned the oaths to
which they had subscribed, at the same
time taking upon themselves the follow
ing Chinese substitute for an oath: "If
| do not tell the truth I shall die rs the
chicken dies but il | do tell the truth
| shall go home to China in n short
time" The swearing Of the witnesses
and interpreters being concluded, the
examination commenced, the Courtroom
being filled with u mixed assemblage Of
curious whites and half a hundred Chi
manner. We presume the full proceed
ings will be duly reported in the Pekin
Observer, and who knows, should the
prisoner be hung, but that the Celestial
organ referred to will make Ms great a
talk over an COURAGE on a Chinese
Citizen Tho Nation Insulted," etc.,
as the New York Herald aver did over

Since that time he has alone killed one

HON. BENJAMIN F. WADE.

-
A brief biographical sketch Of this
gentleman may be appropriate at this
time, when all the signs point to his
occupying, within a few days, the Ex-
ccutivc chair:
He vas born in Springfield, Massa-
chusetts, in 1900. His early manhood
was n laborious one. His father was
poor, and young Wade became familiar
with the spade and wheel, barrow in the
digging of the Erie canal. In 1926 he
began the study Of law, in Ohio, with
Elisha Whittlesey, and in 1928 was adj
mittcd to the bar in Ashtabula county,
where he was elected prosecuting attor-
ney Of that county, and in 1887 he was
returned to the Senate of Ohio, to which
body he was twice reelected.
In lS41 he was chosen by the Legis-
laturc presiding Judge of the Third
Judicial District of the State, and in
1851, while holding cour, at Akron, he
was elected n member Of the United
| States Senate, 10 which body he was
again returned in 1857. In the Senate,
Mr.. Wade was conspicuous rs n leader
of the anti-slavery Wings and of the
Republicans. In 1852 be voted with
only five other Senators to repeal the
fugitive slave law he also voted and
spoke against Mr.. Douglas bill to abro-
gate the Missouri Compromise, against
the Lecompton Constitution for Kansas,
in 1883, against Mr.. Slidell's bill appro-
priating $50, 900, 900 for the acquisition
of Cuba, and against all schemes ofcom-
promise between North aud South, pro-
pounded after Mr.. Lincoln's election in
1860. .
He advocated the homestead bill OF
1852, the Agricultural College bill aud
the Pacific Railroad bill. He has stead
lily opposed the increase Of the standing
army, andbas never been partial to the
West Point Military Academy. During
the rebellion Mr.. Wade was for q yigor-
Gus prosecution of the war and rigorous
treatment Of rebels. On the opening of
the Thirty-seventh Congress he became
Chairman of,the Joint Committee III the
Conduct of the War appointed by the
two Houses, and took an active part in
urging the enactment Of u law to couis-
cate the property of leading rebels and
emancipate their slaves.
He spokeand voted for thC bill making
Treasury notes q legal sender, and for
the bills abolishing slavery and. the
black laws in the District Of Columbia.
As Chairman Of the Territorial Commit
tee, he reported a bill in 1862 abolish
ing slavery in all the Territories of the
Government, and prohibiting it in any
that might thereafter be acquired. He
has constantly insisted IN economy in
the public expenditures, and in holding
officials to a strict accountability.

The color of gold will occasionally
vary, in consequence Of either the fiux
employed in melting or the mode Of re-
fuing. The proper color for pure gold,
is a beautiful bright yellow, inclining
very slightly towards red. When borax
has been employed in any considerable
quantity iux, its color is somewhat
paler +; but it again assumes its ordi-
nary shade on being again melted along
with nitre or common salt. When re-
duced to very thin leaves, it is trans
parent, and by the transmitted Light ap-
pears Of a yellow color. Vauguelin
suggested that its true color under such
circumstances, is blue, aud that tho
green appearance is caused by the ad-
mixture of yellow rays of reflected light.
N. Buisson, considers that gold in an
extremely minute state Of division, as
