Effect Of the Weather at q Camp Meet
iny-sudden Deaths

tnx-Sudden Deaths.
A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle, writing on Sunday from the
camp meeting near Annapolis Junction,
says:
Ten o'clock A. NJ. three young men,
with many other from the same direc,,
ton, arrived frove GAINESVILLE, Howard
county, Maryland, and having hitched
their horses, were preparing to spend
the day in camp. The short time they
were noticed it was apparent they had
disregarded tho extreme heat, duet and
general excitement of travel. To the
surprise of the crowd near them on the
margin of the camp, just outside of the
circle, one OF these young mer sudden
ly fell q lifeless corpse at the feet of bis
companions. Medical aid was immedi-
ately called, friends and dwsllers IN
camp generally FASTENED to the spot,
but the vital spark had fed. The name
of this Young man was James Richard
son, son of MIR. Washington Richardson,
of GAINESVILLE, Howard county, Mary
land. The body was properly cared for,
and in less than an hour after Dis an 81 ~ a. 81
the mortal remains were DoIne on w
the home he bad so cheerfslly left in the
morning. His camrades were appalled,,
and the sad event spread gloom over
The camp during whole forenoon. Dur
ING the afternoon a little child fell a
victim to the intense heat, and died de-
spite the best medical attendance rem,
dered. Many persons on the ground
were affected, and Mr.. John Croggon.
an employe of the Treasury Depart
ment, was sunstruck, and was seriously
| i'll for several hours. Within an hour
one Young gentleman from Washington
had a pretty severe attack of sunstroke,
from which, with great effort, he was
relieved. One or TWO other sllght cases
also occurred, but with restoratlves
quickly applied relief was obtained.

The nlediia,-d Wrong upon Virginia

We learn that n brother of Governor
Walker, of Virginia, now i'll this city,
recently had an interview with Genersl
Candy, by which the latter distinctly
declared his purpose TO enforce the test
oath against the members of the LeglS-
lature. The object of Mr.. Walkers call
upon General Candy was TO ascertain
his real intentions, concerning which
many conflicting statements have APP
peared in print. General Candy told
his visitor that Virginia could not be
regarded as State de tdctO until after
her Senators were elected aud admitted
to Congress. Therefore, the new con-
stitutiOu which abrOgates the test oath
was not now in force, and members of
the General Assembly although elected
under it) could not be exempted from
taking the oath. Beyond this import
ant point, the military ruler of Virginia
did not choose TO be very communica-
tive. 1t is evident that he is waiting
for more precise instructions from
Washington; and it may be that he will
have To wait for some time yet. The
cabinet seem 10 be split >upou the
subject. The more Conservative
portion, such as Governor Fish
aud Generals Rawlins and Cox, are
said TO oppose the test oath tyran-
ny, but are overaw,d by such fiery
Radicals as Boutwell, and Hoar, and the
outside pressure of Radical Senators
and Congressman. President Grant is
REPRESENTED as on the fence, ready TO tin
either way according to the preponder,
ance of advice, but we cannot lend full
credence to that statement. There is uC
doubt, however; that a plot is medltated
by which all the fruits of the late Viz
GINA elections are TO be destroyed, anc
that thsprsseut delay is only the hest
tatiodhrfarA 10 men possessing some
degree ofSenscience as they stand oil
the brink of intended wrong.doing.-

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle, of the
Fearful Affair.

n Fearfui Aun1r
A fearful and fatal affair took place
yesterday in West Newton, on the Pitts
6urgh and COnuellsville Railroad, by
which one man was killed and another
man received Djurles that will proba-
bly prove fatal. A butcher residing In
the town had purchased bullock,
which he was driving to the slaughter
house. The animal proceeded quietly
through the streets OF the town, until
near the slaughter-pen, where, getting
a scent of blood, he became furious and
unmanageable. He rushed fnrlously
down the maiu street OF the town, at
tacSiug every person aud anything that
came in his way. While proceeding in
his mad course, be made an attack upon
a Mr.. Icely, who happened to be cross.
ing the street in front OF him, and
striking him with his sharp horns,
gored him IN a most frighttul manner,
ripping open his abdomen and chest
tearing portion of his lungs out, and
leaving his heart exposed to view.
Another gentleman, whose name we
could not ascertain, Jared but little
better, as he was caught between the
head of the Infatuated animal and a
fence, and completely crushed.
The maddened brute then made dash
at three ladies " BIO were standing in the
door of a millinery establishment, who
escaped serious injury and perhaps
death by having the presence of mind
sufficient TO rush into the house and close
the door,
Next the bull encountered projec
ing window filled with millinery goods.
Striking the window with his head, 1t
was torn down, and the goods scattered
in every direction. The animal then
turned his attention To a gentleman on
the street, who, seeing his danger, start
ed to run for place of safety, closely
pursued. Just at this instant, however,
when the beast was about to lower his
head TO strike his intended victim, the
man fortunately struck his foot against
a stone, and fell fiat upon his face, and
the bullock passed over him, and made
a dash for some one else.
Some of tho citizens had recovered
from their panic by this time, and had
armed themselves with rifles, and after
shooting the animal seven times sue
ceGded in killing him.
A gentleman informed us this morn
ing that Mr.. Icely had died from the
terrible injuries received. When struck
he was near the school house, aud his
blood was thrown against the walls and
into the windows. The children, panic
stricken, fled up stairs. The other in
jured man is fatally hurt.

WAR RECORDS.
The Southern Historical Society.

There was a meeting last evening in the
rooms of the Howard Association, on
Camp street, of gentlemen who were
prominently identified with the cause of
the South in the late war, both in civil
and military capacities. The object of
the meeting was to organize permanent
society for the purpose of collecting and
preserving the records and memoranda of
the Confederacy. AS yet there has been
no full and comprehensive history Of the
war from a Southern standpoint, and from
the very nature of things such history
cannot be written for years to come.
Hence the necessity for the organization
of a society which shall be repository
of those facts concerning the great strug-
gle, some of which now live in print, but
by far the largest proportion of which are
unwritten history, recorded in the memo
ries of such men as Lee, Jefferson Davis,
johnson, Beauregard, Breckenridge, Gen.
Cooper, Bragg, Maury, Toombs, Benja-
min, Mallory, Hood, Wigfall, Judge
Campbell, and host ofothers, who from
their position were cognizant of the in
terror workings of the Government, of
which the outside world could obtain but
superficial and necessarily imperfect
view. The North and South, both, have
had their would-be historians, who, from
hasty and incorrect data, have given to
the world which are really crude volumes,
IN every page of which is evinced their
partisan character.
The Southern Historical Society will
endeavor to collect only such data as are
perfectly reliable and correct of the work
ings of the Confederate Government,
campaigns, battles, sieges and exploits of
any character, and they invite communi-
cations from all those who may be cog
infant of interesting details and facts, or
who may be in possession of valuable
papers and documents collected during or
since the war. The society will extend
throughout the Southern States, and Vice
Presidents will be appointed in each State.
The Rev. DIR. B. F. Palmer is President
of the Society, and Gen. Braxton Bragg
Vice President Gen. II. E. Lee is Vice
President in Virginia, Gen. John G.
Breckenridge in Kentucky, Alexander
Stephens in Georgia, Ex-Gov 1. @. Har-
ris in Tennessee, etc, ETC.
Those who may forward contributions
to the society are requested to state sim
ply facts, without comment thereon, as
the idea is to compile statistics from which,
in the future, history may be written.
The movement is one which must re-
ceive the endorsement ofall right minded
men, as it emanates from desire which
exists in the hearts>of all true Southern
men that their actions and motives may
be handed down to posterity, Invested of
the clouds by which ignorance and mis-
representation have obscured them.

MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF CELERY
A correspondent of the Farmer says: Il
have known many men, and women too,
who, from various causes, had become so
much affected with nervousness that when
they stretched out their hands thew shook
like aspen leaves ON windy days-and by
\ daily moderate use Of the blanched foot
stalks of celery leaves as a salad they
became as strong and steady in limbs as
other people.
have known others so very nervous
that the least annoyance put them in a
state of agitation, and they were almost
in constant perplexity and fear, who were
also effectually cured by daily moderate
use of blanched celery as q salad at meal
tunes. / have known others cured b.
using celery for palpitation of the heart

In a recent public meeting at Boston,
DIR. Hedge quoted a remark of Sir Fred
erick Bruce to Senator Summer, to the
effect that the Emperofs Ministers at Pc
kin, when he was English Ambassador
there, were the superiors in ability of any
European Cabinet What, said Mr..
Sumner, do you mean to say that Lord
Palmerston, Lord Derby and Mr.. Glad
stone have their superiors in the Chinese
Cabinet" 1t is not for me to make such
a personal comparison" said Sir Freder-
lex, s'but repeat what | said, that 1 have
not met European statesmen who were
the equals of the Chinese Ministers" DIR.
Martin, Professor in the college at Pekin,
and translator of Wheaton's work on IN
ternational law into Chinese, corroborated
this anecdote by saying that Sir Freder-
lex told him, In regard to the Emperors
Prime Minister, that he had never met
man that was fairly his superior In intel
IeetuaE ability Ast0 the ease with which
the Chinese acquire other languages than
their own, it was creditable but by no
means remarkable They could learn to
pronounce English and other European
languages correctly, though they gener-
ally did not. DIR. Proudft said he had
known a Chinese girl of sixteen who
spoke English with precision and elegance.
She was the daughter Of Chinaman who
had put out her eyes in childhood so that
he might make use Of her as beggar;
but being brought to New York and edu-
Gated carefully in Christian family, she
had learned music and the use of English
with great perfection. Prof Whitney
said that it was no more difficult for a
Chinese child to learn foreign languages
than for any child; but after the vocal or
gans lost their hexfbility and became &C
customed to the limited range Of vowel
sounds in the Chinese tongue, it was not
easy for Chinanan to acquire the pro-
nunciation of English.

Pudding THE RoOTs.-NIany of our
readers may have neglected to transplant
a choice shrub or tree, until it seems to
them to be too late in the season. They
will find, however, that the operation can
be safely performed if they viii take up
the plants and puddle the roots-that is,
dip them in mud made of about the con.
sistency of thin mortar. The puddle-hole
should be made ready before thew are
lifted and the roots should be dipped in
the mud before the sun or air can have
any effect upon them. After the roots
are coated with earth, they may be car
RED to the place where they arc to be
planted. Shrubs that have been heeled
IN until the leaves have started may be
safely removed by using the puddle.

To sweeten, for my heart

But your head is turned away;

One little kiss, l pray!

And stab me, saying ~Frlend;

Before fortnight's end
Still let me kiss the lips
That traitors are to love
What nothing but your hand!
And that within its glove!
Because the past was sweet;
Because you are so dear;
Because no more we meet
In any future year
Be kind. and make me glad,

Think! / shall be so sad,
And never see your face!

Will keep its cold content,

Small guerdOn for great love
Before we say good night.
All! shy unlocking eyes!

How dare you feign surprise
To know / hold you dear!
What coyness will not yield.
Yet boldness, sure, may take
Well, then, If not for Loves,
One kiss for Friendships sake.
One kiss before we part
One little kiss, my dear!

Its utter loss TO bear.
One kiss-t0 check the tears,
NY manhood scarce can stay;
Or thus-I make it "Yes !"

And [ will know you've heard me,
Although you do not speak!

FISH DIET.-Prof Agassiz says that
fish is kind of food which refreshes the
system, especially after intellectual IA
tigue? There is no other article that sup
plies the waste of the head so thoroughly
as fish diet; and the evidence of it is in
the fact that all the inhabitants of the sea
shores the world over are the brighter
population ofthe country. Fish contains
phosphorus to large extent, chemical
which the brain requires for growth and
