An opinion Of The ATTORNEY Genera.

In the haste and confusion incident to
the adjournment of the general assem-
bly,, there were several bills that had
passed both branches which were left
unsigned by the president of the senate
and speaker of The house. Whether
this resulted rom the proper commit
tees neglecting to give them to those Of
tieers, or their own earelessness, we can
not say. In view of the fact that the
constitution expressly says that all bills
shall be signed by the presiding officers,
the attorney general has advised the
secretary of state not to publish the un-
signed bills among the laws of the pres
ent year. He interprets the meaning of
the constitution 10 Be that no bill is a
law until signed. The attorney ge leral
also considers it the safer course for JrOs-
ecutors throughout the state to f@llOw
the old code, inasmUch as the bill COIL
tanning important amendments to the
criminal code is unsigned. Statesman.

rather pretty explanation of the Dervish

they close their eyes, draw in their mind
from the world of sin and look in upon
their own mental conditions, they become
absorbed. They think of the mind and
its capacity, then their thoughts go up to
God. They think of His greatness, His
kindness, His justice, His goodness and
all His attributes and they feel longing
to see Him. They turn TO the East, but
he is not there alone. True their prophets
remains are in the East, but this is merely
sign. They turn to the West, South,
North, but He is not at one of these
alone and so they continue to turn, thus
showing that God is everywhere and that
in their musings of Him their minds run
in every direction TO meet him. If they
were shrewd inventive Yankees they
would have machine on which they
could sit while this turning is going on.

WHY DE WINIPFFEN SUR
RENDERED.
His Plan 10 Escape COuntCrm0ndcd
by the Emperor.

From GahgnaniIs Messenger.
An officer who had not quilted Gen.
de Wimpffen all the morning of the LIST
writes as follows TO the DebdtS:.
On that m1ming the Prussians, having
terminated their m Ivement, attacked us
on our right, in order TO drive us on the
fresh troops, who awaited our descent
from the plateau, before deploying all
their forces. For q moment Gen. de
Wimpffen was deluded, and believed in a
victory, not as yet knowing that he had
before him more than $50, 900 enemies.
In the evening he resolved to open pas
sage for his troops to the Belgian terri
tory, or to march upon Carignan. He
would doubtless have succeeded, as the
enemy, half disorganized by the contest,
had remained in position on the field of
battle; but the Emperor, who still held
de factO the chief command, prevented
him and paralyzed his efforts by calling
up the Prussians with a white flag, and
by addressing a letter to the King. Gen.
de Wimpffen, after a warm alteration
with the Emperor and his suite on the
subject, returned TO his quarters and gave
in his resignation. Napoleon refused to
accept it, and wrote to him the following
note:
General: You cannot resign at the mo-
ment when the army may be still saved by
an honorable Capitulation. You have
done your duty all day; 60 it still. You
will render great service to the country.
The King has accepted the armistiCe, and
l am waiting for his propositions. Be-
lieve in my friendship. NAPOLEON.
The General, being then persuaded that
only one course was open; that in retiring
alone, as he could still do, he might avoid
personal captivity, but would abandon the
gallant soldiers who had bTaVed death I'M
der his orders during the whole day; see
ing also that in so acting he would ill
perform the functions of General-in-C Chief
placed in his hands by the fortune of war,
decided to remain at the head of the army,
to share the lot of all, and to set his name
to the Capitulation - that terrible act
which closes by an immense disaster, by
an unforeseen catastrophe, one of the
most brilliant of military careers.
Gen. Pelle also refused to adhere to the
capitulatiOn. A letter addressed by him
to his wife says:
l am prisoner of war, with the whole
army. Never has any people had to I'M
dergo such an affront. Tell your brother
that, if he reads the report of the council
of war held for the surrender of the army,
he will sec that two generals refused to
submit. They were not named; but the
world should know that the dissentients
were Gems. Pclle and Care de Bellemare.
A Polish Jew travelling through Aus
tria, resembling Napoleon III. in appear
ance, was very much annoyed by the
curiosity of the people along the route
who believed he was the defeated En-
peror making his escape.

A NIGHT IN A FOREST
Desperate Fight with Wildcats.

desperate Etkht WIN "lIuCats.
From the Pit tshurgh Commercial, Sept. %.
In the beginning of the present month,
Messrs. J. B. Talbot, Horace Jones, and
Alexander Smith visited Elk county,
Pennsylvania, for the purpose of examin-
ing piece of land therein situated, which
lad been purchased by Mr.. Talbot A
terrific thunder storm came up, and they
were compelled TO seek shelter under the
branches of venerable hemlock, whose
mOss-cOvered and thick foliage gave evil
dence Of great age. The storm soon burst
upon them with fearful fury. The very
air grew thick, and darkness set in. All
went we'll till about II o'clock, when they
heard slight sound in the brush, and
peering out in the darkness they discover
ed two fiery eyes glazing upon them.
They knew that wildcat was approach
ing and they grasped their rifles more
firmly. The fierce animal quietly walked
around the tree three times as if medi-
tating how to attack them, gradually
drawing nearer each time. At last it
stopped directly in front and seemed
crouchingas if about to spring upon them.
At this critical juncture Talbot discharged
his rifle directly at the animal. With a
fearful screech that filled them with fear,
it bounded into the brush, ard when the
echoes of the rifle had died away all was
still, and deeper and more impenetrable
gloom settled down upon them.
An hour had probably elapsed when to
their horror, the fiery eyeballs of two or
more wildcats suddenly peeIed upon them
out of the thick murky darkness. They
stood erect and grasped their arms in the
attitude of charge bayOnets. The ami
mails slowly approached and seemed in
tent on mischief. As they could not SEE
to reload their arms, and as Talbot's gun
was discharged, they were compelled to
exercise the greatest caution in order to
make their fire effective in the event of q
spring from the animals. The wildcats
walked around several times, then sud
denly stopped an instant, when, quick as
thought, one of thems giving low grow l
sprang at them.
As luck would have it, Smith caught it
on the end of his rifle, and, pulling trig-
ger at that moment, sent the ball through
his heart. 1t rolled off uttering fright
full yell, and by the kicking and scratch
ing in the bushes they knew it was
wounded. At the same moment they all
yelled loud as they could, which seemed
to brighten the other, and it bounded into
the bushes and disappeared. They were
not disturbed again during the night. In
the morning they found two dead wild
cats lying within thirty feet of the tree
under which they had taken shelter. For
tunately, they took course which
brought them to settlement and after
recuperating they returned to the city.

rNs ssIOS AND AMER ICAN
80 yVIFE AND CHILD

The following lines are from the pen OF
Gen. Stonewan Jackson, Of Confederate
anne. They breathe the true spirit OF
,oesy aud tender pathos. As beautnai
expression of thought, they will no doubt
be appreciated by our readers: =
The tatoo beats-the lights are gone,
- The camp around ia slumber lies;
The night With solemn pace moves on,
The shadows thicken DER the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise.
think Of thee, oh, dearest one,
Whose love my early life has ole st;
Of thee and h.m-our baby son
Who siambers on thy gentle breos {,
God of the tender, frail and lone,
Oh guard the tender sleeper crest.
And hover gently, hover near
To her, whose wstchful eyes are wet
To mother, wife-doubly dear.
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love so deep and clear
And cheering dropping spirits yet.
Now while she kneels before Thy throne,
on, teach her, Ruler of the skies,
That, while at Thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall and rise
No tear Is wept 20 Thee unknown,
No hair is lost, no sparrow dies.
That Thou caD'st stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soothe its pain;
That only by Thy stern command
The battles lost, the soldiers ssini
That from the distant SEA or land
Thou bringst the Wal d'rer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-Wet cheek is sadly prest,
May happier visions beam upon
The brigh'ning current of her breast.
No frowning look or angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest
Whatever fate those forms may show,
Loved with passion almost wild
BY day, by night, in JOY or woe
BY fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled,
From every danger, every woe,
Oh, God protect my wife and child!

BY EDWARD FAwcETI


When skies are starless, yet when day is doue,
When odors of the freshened sward are sweeter,
When light is dresmy round the sunken sun,
At limit of the grassy lane met her.
She steals pearly hand across the gate;
My own its timid touch an instant hatters;
Below the glooming leaves we linger late,
And gossip of ii ousand airy matters.
gladden. that the hay is stored with luck;
smile to hear the pumpkin-bed is turning!
mourn the lameness of her speckled duck;
marvel at the triumphs of her churning.
From COW to cabbage, and from horse to hen,
treat bucolics with my rustic charmer;
At heart the most uurastoral of men,
Converted by this dainty little farmer.
And yet If one soft syllable chance,
As late below the glooming leaves We hnger,
The pretty veto spsrkles in her glance,
And cautions in her white uplifted finger.
o, happy tryst at blossom. time Of stars!
o, momen's when the glad blood thrillsand
quickensl
o, all invioable gateway bars!
o, Yesta of the milking pail and chickens!
