A "HEADLEss HoRsEMAN'- He
RODE AT WoRru-It is said that at the
third charge of the cuirassiers horse was
TO be seen going at full speed " 18th head
less rider. Tue mutilated corpse was
that of NJ. de la Futzen de Lacarre, Col
of the Third Regiment of French CuiFas-
siers, who had been decapitated by can
non ball. Most people ON reading this
would declare tina; it was mere sensa-
ion paragraph, totally devoid of truth
Such an occurrence, however, would not
by any means seem TO be an impossibility
Not long ago we directed our readers al
tention 10 an interesting article published
by DR. B-inton, surgeon 10 the Philadei-
phia Hospital, on the instantaneous rigid,
lty which forms the occasional! accompau-
iment OF sudden and violent death such as
result from wounds of The head or heart.
The startling phenomenon sometimes seen
on the battle field, of the retention in
death Of the last attitude in life, has not
Gscaped the observation of military sur
geons, although the facts connected there
with have not been studied with the at
tention that they deserve. ThUse who
are familiar with the descriptions that
were given of the Crimean battle fields,
particularly that of Inkerman, will remem-
Der that the various attitudes and The
expression of the features Of The dead
were dwelt upon. The report of NJ.
Chenu contains a short account chiefly
based upon the communications of NM.
Armand and Perier, of the attitudes of
the dead in battle during the Crimean and
Italian campaign. AT Magenta Huns
garian huss ar remained alnaos, in the sad
die, resting OH his right side. the poini of
his sabre carried forward, as at the charge
This ngidity generally follows sudden and
violent death, but not invariably DR..
Brinton, among his cases, gives one Of a
very striking kind. He says that man
wounded in the left breast at Belmont,
Missouri, found a stray mule, which he
succeeded in mounting. While in the act
OF riding the animal he died but the
corpse retained the upright mounted posi-
tion, and ON It's becoming necessary to
appropriate TO living wounded soldier,
the body was found 10 be SO 6rmly and
rigidly set as 10 demand certain amount
Of positive force to free the mule from the
grasp Of the legs. DIR. Brinton is led TO
conclude, from his own observations, and
those of others, that this battle field rigid
ity is developed at the moment Uf death,
and that cadaveric attitudes are those of
the last moment and act OF life.

year on a certain day. each district as,
sembled all its virgins of manageable age.
The most beautiful was put up first,
and the man who paid the highest gained
possession of her. The second in person.
al charms followed her, and so on, that
the bidders might crafty themselves
with handsome wives according to the
length of their purses. When all the
comely ones were cold, the crier ordered
the most deformed one TO stand up, and
after demanding who would marry her
for small sum, che was adjudged to him
who was satisfied with the least; and

the true policy of the South is--first, to raise
an abundant supply of corn, peas, beans.
potatoes, both sweet and Irish rye, rice.
peanuts. hay and vegetables of all kinds,
and fruits, large and small; sugar cane or
sorghum, according to latitude. should also
be raised for home consumption. With a
bountiful supply of all these, pork, bacon
and lard, beef, milk and butter. poultry aud
eggs spring into existence around the home
Of the prudent husbandman, almost as nat
urally and inevitably as light follows the
rising of the sun.
With these wants provided for, the sur
plus of capital, lands and labor should be
pressed into the service of cotton growing,
with all the energy, industry and skill that
can be brought to bear. Such policy will
insure an increase of home comforts; will
maintain remunerative prices for cotton by
preventing an over supply; will insure
large cash balances to the cotton planter
from the sale of his crop-and it will build
up prosperous Independence for our sec
ton. that will enable us to laugh at the ca
