FIVE HUNDRED SxELEroNs.-Private
letters from Lima, Valparaiso. and other
places subject to the recentterrible commo-
ton give many facts and incidents not allu-
ded to in newspaper accounts heretofore
published. writer reports a singular and
horrible sight that occurred ut africa on the
south Of the ruined city:
AS the earth opened and yGwned, there
came up five hundred mummies, who stand
in long lines facing the sea, every one of
the skeletors in perfect preservation-th
hands doubled up and supporting the chin
the knees drawn up, and the feet support
ing the Aeshl, IS bodies. This must lie one
of the most frightful sights possible, and
quit beyond description.
The spot where these mumm;es now
stand was once an old cemetry- some
ninety years ago, it is said-and these
skeletons are doubtless the tabled Incas
and Indians, who either buried themselves
alive or were inferred in this manner.
They correspond exactly to the old num-
mics of the Incas, which l described in a
former letter as among the curiosities to be
seen in the museum at Lima. As the
ground receded, what..:a ghastly spectacle;
amid the throes Of an earthquake, the
coming up again to earth of these long
buried skeleton rcma;ns--fvc hundred
yhCstly mummies.

A SIAN with Two He.rs.

The best piece of quiete satire We iiaySss
seen for some time, is the following. from,
the Hartford Conrant:
This man lives in Hartford. lie Is about
hfty years of age, and is able-bodied. lie
had lived upwards Of tLirty-fve wears
before the phenomenon was discovered.
The singular feature of the case is that
there are separate arteria1 totaections
between the two hearts, and the best
authorities, who have given attention to
the subject, agree in saying that the
smaller organ performs the general func-
tions Of the body in all blood relations,
while the larger appears to have distinct
existence in that matter, and only operates
upon the nervous system through peculiar
mechanism not entirely unfamiliar to the
profession. This larger organ shows
frequently uHusal activity; and gives
evidence Of lurking disease, which, It il
said, will sooner or later carry tire man to
his grave. The lesser organ, dependent
the several organs of physical 1ifs are
dependent for perfect working upon the
healthiul regulation of the whole mechan-
ism, has been found to be in an almost
perfect state-the same as ordinary:
pSASo"o W Soou Aeultu, VINO are not
disturbed by the presefsse OF 4 second
organ. The effect of this second presence
upon the person alluded to is at times
melancholy beyond description: If it has
quick, active motion, showing the pre-
sence in the arteries of superabundant
quantity of blood to vitalize the lesser
organ, the man exhibits considerable
elasticity of spirit, but this is only
temporary more frequently there is n
slhggishness in the nervous connections,
which is followed by loss of sleep and
great pctulunce in wake(ul moments. On
such occasions the family of the man find
him not an agreeable companion. He
betrays mild form Of insanity, which it is
feared may develop in something worse.
So severe have been some of his paroxysms
of late. that council has been called,
and it has been decided that the larger
heart may be removed without in the least
disturbing the blood relations Of the body,
but the man, who has been approached
on the subject, declares that Of the two
organs, he had rather have. the Vital one
of the body taken ont, which cannot be
done without producing instant death.
This organ is sit, ed under the vest
watch-pocket of the man; the other is i'm

REGISTER! REGIsIER!!

There are only about six or seven
weeks left in which to register your
name as a voter. The surest way to ac-
complish piece of work is to do it at
once upon being reminded of it. We
can offer no better advice to men of ali
parties, than to make sure Of 6eiRg en-
.franchised by placing your names upon
the poll books at once. Whenever a
Union man gets few minutes spare
time, be cannot better employ himself
than in getting his acquaintances in the
party to 90 and register.

Ar Memphis Democratic meeting, the
rebe General Sale responded in what the re-
bel papers call a quaint effort" This is a
specimen of his quaintness:
As to Grants generalship, he would offer
500 (if he could raise that amount) to any
man that would name single Federal VIC
tory achieved by him. He was not only no
general, but hypocrite and great liar, as
proved by six men. four more than is neces-
sary to convict man of perjury before the
law Here was brand, he said. never pat

Philadelphia Press as follows:
Tn, Administration Of james buchanan

from which the seceders passed cut Of the
Union into the bloodiest war of modern
times, and the Admin istration Of Andrew
johnson in lS6S-69 holds open and guards
the gate by which these same desperate men,

enter and resume command of the citadel.
How xstonishing!y alike the two ePochs,
whether We compare them BY the actors or
the scenes themselves! Had James Buch
anan been the Andrew Jackson of his hour.
no armed conflict would have followed the
threat of secession. The five months before
the 4,h Of March, 1861, would have been
filed with such bold preparations for the
defense Of the public liberties that the
traitors would have recoiled and il Andrew

Gen. Forrest is doing thousandfold more
damage to the interests Of the DISTINGUISHED

desperate incendiary, who is wholly regard
less Of the welfare and peace Of the people.

is obvious to almost everybody else. His
