CuriOsities of Memory.

Strength of memory has ever been
highly esteemed, from the days of the
Romans to our time. Pliny mentions
it frequently as one of the brightest
qualifications of his most talented
friends. The perfection to which this
power was possessed by some of the
ancients must be called Incredible
A Greek philosopher is mentioned in
an old letter who after delivering a
long harangue extempore could repeat
it again without losing a word. Sene-
ca says that in his younger days he
could repeat two thousand names eX-
actly in the same order they were
read to him, and that to test his pow
er of requirement and retention the
audience who attended the same pro-
fessor with himself would each of
them give him a verse, which he
would instantly repeat, beginning
with the last and so on to the first, to
the amount of two hundred. He tells
a pleasant story upon the occasion of
a certain poet, who having read pO-
EN- in public, a person who was pres
ent claimed it fer his own, and, in
proof of the assertion, repeated it
word for word, which the actual au-
thor could not do. The same trick is
said to have been played upOa Vol
taire by the king of Prussia, who
placed an Englishman behind a screen
when the poet read a new poem of
considerable length. The English
man repeated the verses correctly.
much to the authors amazement, and
claimed them for his own. The king
enjoyed the joke greatly, and for
some time would not explain his
stratagem.
Any number of instances might be
taken frOm the ancients to the same
purpose. TRemistOcles was master of
the Persian language in a years time.
Mithridates understood as many
tongues as he commanded nations,
which numbered twenty-five. Cyrus
retained the name of every soldier in
his army. Aristides could name every
citizen in Athens; and Tully says of
Caesar, in his Grafton of Ligarius,
''that he never forgot anything but an
injury. ."-LippincOtts Magazine.

comfort from the verdict of the jury

ted the engineer Griffin, charged with
causing the terrible Mast Hope disas-

that the announcement of the verdict

SUSPENSIONS.

The result has created a profound
sensation through the entire eOmmu-
nifty. Immediately after the news
had become known confidence was
restored, though many still
linger around the Gold Room in an
ticipatiOn of another rise. The con-
sequence of yesterdays operations
be known in day. OF course
the most idle and injurious rumOrs
were put in circulation. To be sure
there may have been some failures,
but temporary suspensions cannot be
in that light. Indeed, it is
unfair to put forth statements calcula-
ted to damage the credit of many firms
by the movement
1t IS entirely impossible to give any
list of the supposed failures
and suspensions. In fact the reports
prevalent about several firms can
scarcely be relied upon. To be sure,
several brokers closed their doors, but
new statements will be revealed to-
day. Others were compelled to sus-
pend payment on their gold balances;
but the fact is that it was a physical
impOssibility yesterday, and that fact
alone has given rise to a great deal of
the embarrassment.

Exchanging Wives In Massachusetts,.

A verv curious instance of an exchange
of wives by parties formerly residing IN
Sail bury, Mass, has just been developed
by the arrest of the offenders. Their
names are Geo. T. and Annie r. Godsoe
and Charles H. and Sarah Lizzie Lowell.
Lowell was married IN 1862. Both par
ties resided for some time in Salisbury,
where, in December, 1868, each becoming
dissatisfied with their companions, and
their connubial associations, the two hus-
bands, with their wives, went to lawyer
and entered into written agreement to
separate and not to hereafter interfere
with each other They then went to
Portsmouth, N. H., where Mr.. Godsoe
was married to Mrs. Lowell. and Mr..
Lowell to Mrs Godsoe, since which time
they have been living together in the
conlugal relations, Immediately following
what may be termed the process of sim
pie divorce" which took place at Sails
bury. Mr. Godsoe and his paramour,
Mrs. Lowell having become residents at
Haverhill, Mass, were complained of by
parties knowing the circumstances, for
their Illegal connection, and were arralgn-
ed Def Judge Carter to answer to the
charge of bigamy. Lowell. and his COM
paniou, Mrs Godsoe, residing in Ames-
bury, were also arraigned and each bound
over, in the sum of $500, FOR their ap-
pearance at the October term OF court.
Failing to obtain sureties, the parties are
in custody.

Terrible Encounter with Bear.

On Friday last, one of those peculiar in
cidents which seldom occur save on our
Western frontier. took place about twenty
miles south of Virginia Dale. IUappears
that man named Jackson living at Nir-
ginia Dale, was out In the mountains
hunting elk, and hal fastened his pony
in valley while he went up the steep
side of the hill in pursuit of game
While clamhering over the rocks, with
his gun slung upon his back, he was sud
denly attacked by . huge cinnamon bear,
which sprung upon him, and before he
could unsling his gun and defend him self
had seized him by the ankle. A terrific
contest ensued. Hunter aud bear rolled
over and over, the man endeayoring to
free himself from the hug of the too af-
fectionate brute, while the bear. with
teeth and claws. was endeavoring to make
hash of the unfortunate jackson. After
prolonged struggle, the man succeeded
in getting away from the bear clutches,
weak and almost talnting from loss OF
blood. He, however. fired two shots at
the bear, but whether etfectual or not,
he is unable to state. jackson was Sc
verely torn and lacerated in the ankles
ard thigh, besides having his hand terri
bly, bitten and mutilated. He drag ed
himself to where his pony was, with much
difficulty, and though nearly dead made
his way to the settlement. He came to
Sherman Station, where he now is, under
treatment for his wounds, and will prob
ably recover. We gather these facts fnm

Trouble Between the Government and
the st. CrOix Lumbermen.

United States Marshal Hamilton left
Milwaukee last night on an Important
mission for the government He goes
direct to Hudson, st. Croix County, arm
ed with the necessary papers and docu-
ments for a seizure OF some thirty million
feet of pine logs now in lake st. Croix.
The logs, it is claimed, were cut on land
belonging to the federal government,
without authority. The facts in the case
are, that some years ago grant OF lands
was made by Congress to the State OF
Wisconsin for the benefit OF the st. Crolx
Il Superior railroad company. The road
was to be built within a certain time In
order to secure the grant, which time
W ssffe ed to elapse without the work hav-
ing been done. Congress made an extern
sion OF three years, which three years
expired last August. Under the act
making the grant, the lands then were to
revert to the United States gosernment
But the State Legislature at its last SEES
sion provided for commission to 90 on
to the property and make arrangements
for its protection against trespassers-
With this authority a survey has lately
been made, and it is estimated from the
stumpage that no less than thirty million
feet of pine logs have been cut on differ
ent tracts during the winter just past.
These logs are now in lake st. Croix.
The lumbermen who have cut them do
not attempt to deny that they have been
trespassing, but refuse to acknowledge
the authority of the State of Wisconsin.
These facts having been brought to the
attention OF the Secretary of the Interior,
Cox, he last week telegraphed to the
ot1icarS haro IN have tho interests of the
general government thoroughly looked
after. Acting under these Instructions
marshal Hamilton has gone to the scene
of trouble He is clothed with discre-
tionary powers, and is authorized to COM
promise on the part Of the government
with offending parties. We understand
the logs will be released on the payment
of the regular price OF s., SO per thousand
fect-or So, 200 for the lot, and it is
expected that these terms will be accept
ed. The numbering firms who are impli

A Curiosity.

The Augusta Me Journal has the
following: ''Twenty years ago, or in the
spring of 1919. the superintendent ofthe
burial ground in Acknowledgement John
Beeman, who is still one of the business
men of that cIty-purcha g a number of
silver poplar tees, averaging about two
inches In diameter at the ground and five
feet in height, and transplanted them in
the cemetery. They flourished finely
and have become large trees, adding very
much to the beauty of the cemetery. A
few days ago one of these trees WIS cut
down by direction of the present Super
intendent, Col W. S. Haines. for the
reason that its branches were broken off
by the great ice storm last winter and
the tree ruined. The fallen tree meas
ured twenty-one inches in d :ameter at the
stump and was about forty feet in length.
Embedded in the centre OF the trunk
was found the original tree, of the same
size as when tranSplanted twenty years
ago, but minus the bark. all the growth
of the tree had been outside of and APP
parently detached from the original. The
core of the original tree was loose, and
fell from its sepulchre when the trunk
was being split, though it was as full of
life as when transplanted. Upon the
original tree, which is about FIVE feet long
and two inches in diameter at the largest
end, are ten knots showing that number
of limbs to have been sawed off when the
sapling was set. The marks of the saw
are distinct as if made yesterday; This
curious freak of nature may be seen at
the store of Captain Beeman, in Halo
well. 1t is a genuine curiosity, and wor-
thy Of place in the State cabinet. We
doubt whether similar specimen can be
produced.

The Deaeon's Proposal.

In the town of Hopkinton, in the State
of Vermont lived a certain Deacon Small
In advanced age he had the misfortune
to lose the rib OF his youth After doing
penance by wearing a weed on his hat q
full year, he was recommended to a GER
tain widow Hooper, living IN an adjoining
town. The deacon was soon soon astride
of his old brown mare with sorrel name,
and on arriving at the widow door, he

suds from her wash tub. Said the dea-
