DR.. Bledsoc, written nearly twenty years ago,
addressed to Miss Susan |. Sparrow, the daugh::

tai science, for the abstrusc spcculations OF

almost pretcrnatura. She rcud Buffers Ana
logy at my suggcstion and, perhaps, no other
woman ever followed the thoughts Of his great
mind with moro thorough appreciation, or
with more intense and enthusiastic delight.
The letter was written in reply to the ono in
which she announced the fact, that she had
read the Analogy.
Her picty was as ardent and self sacrificing,
as her intellect was clear and powerful. She
married tho Rev. Dudley Smith, minister OF
the Episcopal Church, and went out with him
as missionary to China; where, in hcr for

soon fell victim to disease and death. She

A LONG LOST VESSEL FoUND.-On juno
%, considerable interest and curiosity were Gre
atcd at Loyd's ). London, by news OF the arrival
Of the steamer Dcnia, at Falmouth, towing in
to the harbor as a derelict the long lost Norwe
gian bark Svalcn. The Sgalon, vessel Of
about 500 tons, was abandoned at sea by her
crew on the 10Th OF October, 1869, lew days
after sailing from Montreal for London with
cargo of timber. Tho crew were picked up and
landed at Falmouth on the 9TH Of November
following. But the most curious circumstances
in connection with the loss Of the ship is that
the vessel, after rolling about on the broad At
lantic, and, perhaps in other seas, Tor nearly
nine months, should be accidentally lighted on
by passing steamer near tho British shores,
with her cargo safe and 10 good condition, the
ship itself being SO far scaworthy AZ IN float,
and her cabin furniture and her other tittinga
in good state OF preservation. lnsnrancca had
been effected, it. appears, on the SValcn at
Loyd's by her foreign owners, and the qucs
ton that now arose on the recovery OF the ship
was as to salvage rights. The underwriters,
who have long since paid tho amount insured,
will Of course rccoup themselves by the pos.
session of the valuable dcrcct that has 10 sin
Pularly been found; but the amount of salvage
due to the captain and crew Of the steamer
Denia, who discovered the missing ship, will
have to be deducted from tho underwriters
claim. Still the valuable cargo of timber in the
Svalcn will help greatly to compensate for the
loss incurred by underwriting her.
MODERN Lo IL.TY.-Mcmbcrs OF tho House
seemed to feel very much Inundated while
Butler, OF Tennessee, was On tho floor as
member OF the Committee on Elections, areu
Ing that Rice, of Kentucky, was not qualified
to hold his scat, on the ground that nc had
given aid and comfort to the rebels during the
ato war Yet Butler had the GOODNESS to make
such report, and urge it, while the reports OF
the House show that he (Butlcr) was q volun.
teer candidate for the rebel legislature in 1861,
and, second, that he took the oath to the Con-
federacy, voted mcn and money to support it,
urged hunting down Union men in East Ten
nessec, and did many other similar acts. The
House heard him in disgust, and then voted
almost unanimously to retain Rice - Wash.
