THE MEDICAL SOCIETY VS.
SLEEPING BEAUTY.

a Correspondent of the St Louis Home
Journal writes to that paper as follows;
stated in a previous article that the ned
zeal society Of this city had taken the case
of Miss Godsey-the Sleeping Beauty
under consideration, with a view Of ascer-
tanning the cause Of her strange condition.
The privileged few who had visited her
also the thousands that had read the account
of the case in the daily papers, waited with
no small degree of patience for the decision
Of the committee, expecting, as a matter of
course, Il long report composed of unintellI-
CHILE Latin words and technical phrases
which a majority of the society did not un
derstand, but used dd ibitHnl to cover their,
own ignorance and mystify outsiders. But
we, patient seeker Of knowledge, believed
in the assembled profundity of the medical
society, and had strong faith in their ability
TO eIucidate the ca Sc and throw u glimmer
of light upon it, When 10 to the astonish
ment Of all they pronounced it a case Of

again, the question would arise, what does
she know Of deception and what can she
know Ofsin; and IS it reasonable to suppose
that q girl Of eight years could be taught to
produce the phenomena peculiar to her
case? She bears upon her face strong
marks of beauty, with a wealth Of hair that
many might envy her eyes are large and

FATAL ARRAY At DAWSON, GA
Killing of Col. Ames, the Circus
Propli stor.


The Macon Journal contains the partic-
ulars of fatal ARRAY at Dawson, Ga, on
Thursday last, resulting in the killing of
Col. @. 7. Ames, the proprietor of the cir
Gus, and man named David Oxford 1t
occurred during the afternoon performance
Of the show. a number of men, represented
as desperate characters, and all the worse
for liquor, got into difficulty with the
door-keeper, drew their pistols, and com
menced firing indiscrimintaely into the
crowd. Col Ames, who was in his ticket
wagon at the time, leaped out of it and
approached the assaiants, unarmed for the
purpose of endeavoring to quell the diff
Guilty. At his appruach, the cowardly
sssassins brought their weapons to bear
upon him, and though he told them he was
unarmed, and asked them not to shoot him,
fred upon and wounded him in two places
The first shot took effect in one of his thighs,
and the second through the back; coming
out at the lower portion ofthe abdomen; as
the Colonel attempted to retreat and escape
from the murderous wretches.
During the melee; citizen named David
Oxford; who was standing near with one of
his children in his arms was shot through
the heart and instantly killed. He was q
brotber-in-law of RUSSELL one of the assail-
ants, Madame Frew; the mother of the
AIbino children; connected with one of the
shows; was badly wounded in the heshy part
of one of her thighs.
No weapons are said to have been drawn
or used By any one connected with the cir
Gus, though they would have been perfectly
justified in so doing.
Col Ames was conveyed to the residence
of one of the citizens of Dawson, the best
medical aid procured, and though every
thing possible was done by his medical at
tendants, yet he slowly sank into the icy
embraces of death.

GENERAL sully has written to
Commissioner Parker with refer.
ence to the smallpox among the
Gros Vcntres Indians ct Fort
Reservation, Montana
Territory. Since last September,
when the disease broke out, al
deaths have occurred, leaving only
about 1900 Of this nation alive.
Everything hat could be done TO
alleviate their sufferings was
done. Upon Geographic in-
s%tructions from Commissioner
Parker medical supplies were
sent to them and an experienced
physician employed, through
whose exertions a stop was put
to the rayages Of the disease.
General Sully says what makes the
calamity still more 10 be deplored
is that Of all the Indians in Mon
tanna these are the most friendly
to the whites and among the In
dians most disposed to ciyiliza
ton. At one time the deaths at
the agency Syere so rapid, that the
few men there could not dig
