An INSANE WANDERER.

In flonrishing city near here there
resides family Of high social stand,
ing and wealth. which is blessed with
n da ghter nineteen years OF age
This young lady received careful ed
ucation, graduated with credit last
June, and returned 10 her home. Al.
most Immediately she made the nc
quaintanee OF young widower, o!
her native town, and fell deeply in
love with him. 1t is due TO the gen
tleman to say that he did not encour-
age, in any manner, this sudden pas.
sion. The infatuation of the young
lady was so grea, that she took nc
pains to conceal il, and, upon being
demonstrated with by her family, she
boldly persisted in avowing her love
At the earnest solicitation of hes
friends, the gentleman had an inter.
view with her in the presence of hei
mother, and represented to her, il
the most gentle and respectful man
ner, that her passion could not be re-
turned, aud begged her TO abandon il
for her own sake and the credit Of the
family, of which he was close friend.
In this interview, the gentleman, un-
fortunately, announced that he was
soon to be married To another lady
At this the Young lady became furi-
GUS, and exhibited state of feeling
which resulted in a conp1ete alteration
of mind. A physician was at once
called, and, after few days OF treat
ment ut her home, it was found nee
essary to send her to the State insane
Asylum. This was accordingly done
The poor girl, who had so recent,
exhibited an unusually active and
brilliant mind, was now complete
wreck, and alternated between fits oi
the deepest melancholy, during which
she could not be induced to speak
and spasms of frenzy, during which
she had to be pinioned. lest she should
| do herself harm.

LETTER FROM A. II. STEVENS
IN HEPLY To
ATTORNEY GENERAL AKE.MAE.

Alexander II. Stevens has written q
letter to the editor OF the Georgia
Constitutionalist, in which he assays to
reply to remarks recently made by
Attorney General Akerman touching
political affairs in the South. The
following concluding portion Of Mr..
Stephens epistle will give an idea Of
the tenor of his argument:
This Cabinet ukase of Mr. Attorney
General shows nothing more clearly
than the power of the truths promul-
gated in the two volumes thus denoun-
ced. He and his associates know and
feel that by nothing short of sup
preston of these truths, directly or
Indirectly, and the obliteration, if pos
sible, of all the great facts of our his
tory, can they bring the public mind
TO receive the doctrine attempted to be
instilled by him in his Atlanta speech,
which amounts to this: that the States
OF this Union have no higher position
in the scale of existence than mere le-
gal corporations. Shades of Ames,
Samuel adams, Parsons, Ellsworth,
Hancock, Madison, Hamilton, Mar
shall, jackson, Jefferson and Wash
Iingto +! l will not say that such doc
trine ought to be suppressed, but with
all the respect for high official posi-
ton which 1 can command, I will say
that the Attorney General Of the Uni
ted States, in putting forth such SEN
timents, ought to hare biushed, If not
for his own reputation at least from a
proper sense of reverence for the
memories of the illustrious dead. The
union of these States, nothing but a
sort OF corporations, to be fashioned,
moulded, controlled and shorn of
their rights by ard at the will of the
Central Government. This "confed-
eracy" of States, as Marshall styled it
on the bench OF the Supreme Court
this "confederated republic" as Wash
ington styled it in his message TO the
Senate-this union of sovereign
members" as Jackson spoke of it in
his inaugural address, according tu
the teachings of the present Attorney
General, is nothing but an aggrega-
ton of corporations; bare creatures Oh
municipal law. This, in substance, is
my understanding of his most insid-
ionsly inculcated imperializing doc
tr.ne.
| If. by the suppression of truth this
doctrine can be established, then, in
deed, will be consummated that most
/ llamentable result which Hamilton
thought need never be feared, even by
the most vigilant aud jealous guar
dians of popular rights, when he de-
clared in the convention in New York
which ratified the Constitution, that
"the States can never lose their pow
ers till the whole people of America
are robbed of their liberties"

GEN. A. p. HILL.-If the wandering

erate chieftains, .Stoncwalr jackson, and

Gen. A. P. Hill, who lost his life at the
closing battle of the war, must be accept

DIVINITY OF THE HUMAN

The divinity of the human mind is

tined to outshine another in splendor.
Orion. with his glitteiing sword,
marches his eternal rounds; Aroturus,
with his behded bow, stands in cold
splendor over the Northern Pole;-
Mars bears his war torch through the
heavens; Venus shines from the West,
with her burning disc of love, w1iie
muititudes of lesser lights retire for
ever from human sight, or peep only
ut intervals from the thick shrouds of
the invisible.
So IL is in the astronomy of mind

A SNAKE STORY.

Our readers who may be prosecuted
by any of the various kinds of vermin
peculiar to household affairs, may con-
gratulate themselves IN not being af-
tlicted in this respect as some of the
people of Auburn are. The Advertiser
tells how q sensation was created at
the residence of Mr.. Joshua Good
rich, in that city, the other day, by
the discovery that q lounge in daily
use by the family had become q living
den of snakes. One of the family
upon enter ng the room was Mortified
ut the sight Of the boss snake of the
party, which had protruded a portion
of its length through the covering OF
the lounge, and was taking view OF
!, the situation with waving head and
shooting tongue. The alarming sight
of the disgusting reptile created a
horror on the premises, as the shud-
Idering inmates flew for assistance, and
soon the covering was torn from the
lounge, revealing a sight well calcula-
| ted to excite the nerves of oil who had
rested upon that particular article Of
furniture. The old snake had made
Its interior nest for whole family
of juvenile serpents, which were some
what unquiet on being disturbed in
the possession of their cosy quarters.
The lounge was at once taken out oi
doors and thoroughly purged Of al
snakey "reminiscences by being burned
up. It has since required all the
nerve of the occupants to shake uI
their beds, etc.. for fear of more such
unwelcome tenants.

Regarded them with coldness amount
ing to indifference, they having be-
come not only recopciled to their can
ibalistic diet, but preferring it TO
wholesome food when set before them.
Monstrous as it may seem, to such an
extent had the natural tastes of some
Of these people become perverted,
that they pushed aside the -four and
bacon rendered them. choosing rather
to partake of the horrible feast to
which they had been so long accus-
toned. Parents were seen feeding on
the remains of their children, and
children on those of their parents. ---
Here wife was seen broiling on the
Goals the flesh Of her husband, and
elsewhere q company were making a
repast upon the roasted limb of dead
companion.
All filial and paternal affection
seemed dead, the one instinct OF self
preservation reigning supreme.
Rapidly some of those III st wretched
creatures were being transformed in
to ghouls and demons, having already
lost many OF the divine traits Of hn-
nanity. Haggard and attenuated,
they spoke but little, while their looks
aud demeanor were wild and unearth-
| ly. Too incredible for belief are the
stories told OF the ravenous greed ex-
hibited by some of these starving
wretches, one of whom is said to have
eaten the entire body of child during
the course OF single night; while an
other insisted on appropriating to his
own use the hearts and other yiscera
of his dead companions. On the 9th
er hand many refused to touch the
flesh of those who had perished until
the last, and then partook of il
sparingly and with evident feelings OF
horror.

BRIGHAM YOUNG AS A FAMILY
MAN.

A Salt Lake correspondent writes:
A lady I met gave me long, interest
ing account of Brigham Young's fam
lily. She knew fifteen of his wives,
but did not know how many children
he had. The wives oil have different
apartments, but are expected to meet
their lord, Brigham, every night at
prayers, after which they all shake
hands with him and depart. If they
want to see him for social chat, they
make some bean soup (his favorite
dish), which always secures him. The
exact number of his wives it is impos-
sible to tell. I have asked u number
of well-informed Mormons, but they
all say they do not know. At the the
ater, last night, saw twelve of his
daughters, and these twelve did not
fill up one-fourth of the seats reserved
for his family. The handsomest
daughter is (for short) called "Punk. Z"
She is sprightly, handsome, we'll

man is absent, is having her full OF

around the Gentle Gubernatorial Of

with grace, and kept dodging about
