'To THE RESCUE Anna Dickinson

Brothers, Hydeville; and Northrop &
Son, Castleton.
This lecture has never, we believe, been
delivered in Vermont, and our friends
in Castleton are fortunate in securing the
frst hearing. We advise the people of
Rutland, and adjoining towns, to improve
the opportunity of hearing Miss Dickin-
sons last and best lecture. Below we give
some notices which the lecture has re-
ceived from the press:
"Last night Miss Dickinson gave the
last lecture for the season in New York.
1t is fair, therefore, to look at her per-
Torrance somewhat critically. Her ten
years of labor are completed. In the ten
years the quaint child in brown stuff has
become the elegant woman in sple ndid
attire. Her beauty has developed Her
voice has strengthened. Her command of
her resources has increased. Her woman
ly sweetness and dignity are unspoiled.
Miss Dickinson made speech so strong
and clear, that looking back on her ten
years of labor she may well feel that she
has not mistaken her vocation. AS we
said two months ago, and as we f,lel still
more strongly to-day, she already shows
not only that she has shining eapa, nty as
an orator, but that she has that reater
capacity of sublime discomfort VIII h all
she has done. 1t is quite within Miss
Dickinson's power tn be the most ad mir
able orator in America, as we'll as the
most popular. When we have the pleat Ure
of summing up her performance for the
next ten years, we trust that her pc ISL
bility will have become her achievement t."
N. Y. Tribune.
Words cannot do her or her subj ct
Justice. She was borne upward out of
herself, uplifted and uplifting, filling
other hearts with the reflex of that inspira-
ton which made her own soul luminous
She laid aside the weapons of sarcasm and
reproach, and appealed as for life to the
higher nature, the soul within. There
were those who.' came to scott whose
hearts and heads were bowed in rever-
ence before the power of an earnest soul
when they left the audience-room that
evening. Miss Dickinson finds most
cordial and heartsome reception in Chi
caSo. Great audiences greet her, warm
hearts welcome her, and respond to her
utterances with true Western heartiness,
as they do to few other orators. "-B0st0n

To this replied distinguished rebel:
Well, have never met any thinking
man in the South who does not con
slider the three Virginians, Johnston, Lee
and jackson, TO have won nearly all the
glory of the whole rebellion. The ablest
newspaper in the South during the war
was Daniels Examiner, at Richmond,
and we are beginning to believe that
Daniels was more of a statesman than
Davis. Our people hold to Lee as the
great military genius; but am not one
lamps Lee was a docile, amiable, care
ful and devoted man; but Joe Johnston S
mind was lightning mind, and his mag
netism is felt by any man who comes in
contact with him. While Lee is playing
school teacher, without the ability to
teach, ,at Lexington, Joe Johnston is
making from ten to fifteen thousand dol
lars year at Savannah, as the agent of
a London Life Insurance Company; and
but for the poverty of the South he
would have been now at the head of
some huge corporate system in our sec
ton. He is an old man--is Joe--and
his body is full of lead, for he has been
wounded three times--twice in Mexico
and once at Seven Pines; but for his
campaigns in the late war, ! will point
you out three, His campaign from York
town to Fair Oaks, in which he SO bat
tered Mcclellan that he never made an
aggressive movement after Johnston was
wounded, but left the field to Lee to fin
ish him up. In the second place, OBJ
serve his campaign from Dalton to At
lanta, with 10000 men to face Sherman,
and yet fought no great battley and,
thirdly, if you want to see the magne-
tism and shrewdness of the man, look at
the treaty he made with Sherman, play
ing Talleyrand to him, so that Stanton
had to get to work to make the treaty
over again.

A German woman OF the Period

A German gives an account of 0
strange incident, which occurred lately
on the occasion of marriage before the
civil authorities in Algeria:
The official required the consent of the
mother, and asked if she were present.
A loud bass voice answered "Yes." The
mayor looked up and saw a tall soldier
before him. THAT is well, he said;
''let the mother come here, her consent
and signature are necessary" To the
astonishment of all present, the soldier
approached the mayor with long strides,
saluted him in military fashion, and said !:
"You ask for the mother of the BRIDE
she stands before you" 'Very well, sir"
replied the mayor, then stand back, |

mother; the mother ! tell youl' "And

campaigns, and obtained the rank of SER
geant. Here are my papers, the permis-
sion to wear uniform, and my nomina-
tion as sergeant-major. The mayor
examined the documents and
found them perfectly correct, and com
pleted the marriage of the bridal pair,
the mother blessing them so fervently
with her deep bass voice that all present
were more startled than touched

A STRANGE CASE.
The sleeping Beauty yorTennessee.

A letter from Union City, Tennessee
to the Louisville Commercial says:
So much has already been wiitten in
regard to the lady known here as the
Sleeping Beauty" that / can scarcely
hope to give you anything new, but will
add my testimony to that already given,
and make you plain statement of facts,
as know them from her mother, brother
and friends who now have her in charge
in the same house in which am stop
ping, and from which am now writing to
you. Miss Susan Caroline Godsas was
born in 0bion county, Tennessee, and
within ten miles of this city, of poor but
respectable parents. Her father has
been dead for twelve years Her mother
still lives and watches over her loved
child, and the sunken eyes and furrowed
brow show very plainly the trials and
sorrows she has experienced in her duty
for twenty-one years She is very poor,
and, to some extent, depends on the con-
tributions of visitors, to take care of and
procure proper supplies for her charge.
Miss Godsay vas taken sick when
about four years of age, with what was
supposed to be chills and fever, but
which baffied the skill of nurses and
physicians for more than two years, at
which time she fell into a nervous sleep,
from which she has not awoke since for
longer time than twelve minutes. She
usually sleeps soundly from eleven
o clock at night until about six in the
morning, and through the day awakes
about once an hour Her waking spells
are never less than four nor more than
twelve, but usually about six minutes
duration.
In her waking moments she speaks both
pleasantly and intelligently, answers
promptly any questions asked her, and
appears quite happy and contented.
One Of the strongest points of this
strange case is the seemingly total abb
sence of anything like respiration. A
piece of the finest polished glass held to
her lips fails to disclose the slightest
touch Of breath. Her pulse is perfectly
STILL and but for nervous or tremulous
motion of the body which never ceases,
you might at any time call her dead.
She has grown during her affiiction from
little child to about the average hight
of her sex, and weighs ninety-six pounds,
and although her body and hands show
her very poor in flesh, her face is full
and smooth, and her features well deyel-
oped. Indeed, such rare style do her
features portray that she is called the
Sleeping Beauty of Tennessee"

| The New York Journal of Commerce,
in noticing the rejection by the NJ, E.
Church, South, Of the offer of union from
the NJ. Il. Church, North, says
The Southern NJ. L. Conference have
decided unanimously against reuniting
with the Northern branch. This deter
mination will be less disappointing to
the Northern Methodists than if an OPP
posite course had been expected by them.
The proposition made by the Northern
Conference was of character that evil
IDENTIFY anticipated rejection-if it was
not put forward expressly to be rejected.
Judged by those rules of etiquette which
apply as fully to religious as to secular
matters, the offer of the Northern Com
missioners could not have been accepted
without some humiliation and loss of
selfrespect upon the part of the South
erners. In declining it they but acted
as the dignitaries of any Church in the
world would act under like circum-
stances. The instructions given to the
commissioners of the Northern Confer
ence directed them first to confer with
the late Commission from the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church with
view to a union, and afterward to ne
gotiate with similar Commissions from
any Methodist Church that may desire a
like union" The colored Methodist
Church is here mentioned by name and
put first as the principal object Of North
ern solicitude, while the great Southern
Church Of the same denomination is only
hinted at in language which could not
fail to be construed in the South as an
intentional slight Had the Northern
branch intended their overtures to be
rejected. they could not have phrased

From the New Albany Ledger. 27th.l
We have to record the commission OF
another terrible crime in our neighboring
county of Harrison, and about nine
miles from New Albany, which was com
mitted yesterday afternoon, and which
resulted in the killing of two men and
the probably mortal wounding of third.
! The particulars of the terrible affair, as
furnished us by gentleman who was at
the scene of the tragedy this morning,
are about as follows:
Some seven years ago difficulty
arose between Joseph Hines and Stephen
Aultman, both residing in Harrison
county, Aultman's farm lying about half
way between Georgetown and Lanes
vile. Hines, it seems, had killed nine
pigs belonging to Aultman and which
had been trespassing upon Hines prem
ises. For this Aultman had him arrested
and confined, for time, in the Harrison
county jail. Hines is said to have been
desperate character, and he swore he
would kill Aultman for causing his ar
rest, but through the influence of his
wife he was prevented doing so for sew
eral years A1 S@i -- Al-.'-
Hines wife died about year ago,
since which time he had been very reck-
less Some days ago he swore that in
eight days he would send Anltman S
soul to hell" Yesterday he took down
his rife, loaded it, and proceeded to a
field in which Aultman, and his son,
aged between nineteen. and twenty
years, his wife and two daughters were
at work. Resting his rife upon fence
some seventy-fve yards from Aultman,
and without a word of warning, he shot
A, the ball passing through the bowels,
killing him in few minutes.
As Aultman fell he shouted to his son,
a short distance away, that Hines had
killed him, Hines, as soon as he shot,
Jumped over the fence and went TO
where Aultman was lying, and clubbing
his rifle dealt the dying man a terrible
blow on the head, literally crushing in
the skull. rs..s rr.e .rf rEb
At this moment Aultman's son ar
rived at the scene with a heavy hoe
drawn up over his shoulder, and grasped
by the handle in both his hands Hines
instantly dubbed his rifle again, and,
dealing the boy savage blow with it on |
the head, fractured his skull and cut a
deep wound. This knocked the boy /
down, but he still held the hoe firmly |
grasped in his hands. While lying upon |
the ground, and apparently in convul-
sions brought on BIZ the blow he had re-
ceiyed, he struck ont wildly and fiercely
with the hoe, hitting Hines upon the top
of bis head, and literally cleaYing his
skull, Hines fell dead, near the boys
father, without uttering a word
The murdered father and wounded son
we're carried to the residence of Ault-
nan, but Hines body was left in the
field until this morning. When our in
formant left the Coroner was making
to hold an inquest upon the
dead bodies. Aultman was a. man of
excellent character, and was highly es-
ieemed BY all yho knpE him. -
