An Incident OF the Late Calamity in
Richmond.

correspondence OF the PetersDurB
RICHMOND, Tuesday, May 3, 1S70.-l
heard yesterday OF one Of the most re-
markabie circumstances connected with the
calamity of Wednesday last. Prof Dews,
a well-known violinist of this city, at the
time of that occurrence was standing in the
wide avenue leading from the Governors
house, somewhat near the monument. He
heard the crash of the falling tim
bers. and saw the clouds of dust rising from
the windows, when with terrible sudden
ness and by some astonishing and inexpli-
cable working of the imagination, the whole
scene, as described afterward by many per-
sons, became vividly impressed upon his
mind. He knew that q horrible accident
had taken place, but more than this, he
could hear the mosns of the dying and the
cries of the wounded, and could see their
struggles under the mass of fallen timbers.
The effect upon him was to pro-
duce paralysis of the left side. his
whole system was shocked as if by
an electric current, the nerves vibrated and
tingied till they seemed as il they must
snap, so great was the tension. He is yet
confined to bed, but is improving under
the medical attention of DR.. p. A Frayser.

tieman. He is rot at all of an imaginative
disposition, is in the most vigorous health.

keep Away from the Edge" or. VII
lie Sanford

Just beyond Dir. SaniOrd's grounds there
lay beautiful pond in which were large
numbers of FISH, both perch and pickerel,
while on the top of the water, near 90 the
edge, were growing those flowers that re-
mind us of holiness and heaven asLa-
lieS. On one side of the pond there was q
high bank covered with beautiful flowers.
Repeatedly Mr.. Sanford had warned hlS
children against going down 20 this banh.
lest some OF them shOHld fall over into the
pond, where the water was deep enough TO
drown the biggest uf them.
On the last Fourth of July Willie Sanford
and his sisters and little brother had gone
out TO gather wild flowers to make some
bouquets to give to little friends who had
come from the city to spend the Fourth
with them.
Seeing some very beautiful flowers on
the bank, Willie thought that for this once
he might go, even though his father had
prohibited him, aud on reaching out his
hand to pluck some, slipped, and fell over
into the water. With the exception oi the
little brothers, all the children ran to GET
help. Mary ran back to the house tor ma.
another went to the barn for a ladGer and
another for ropes, while little Jamie. oilv
four years old, stood and cried.
Mr. Sanford, who was at work a little
way OF, heard the cries and hastened - the
spot just IN time TO save Willie.
The other children did the best they
could, but little Jamie did more tas.5. ali.

A Row FOR LIFE.-L Last Friday evening,
between eight and nine O'Clock, a young
man in the employ of Taber, the we'll
known boatman at Black Rock, started
from Chippewa in a light wherry, to come
across the river. He seems to have miscal-
culated the strength of the current, for his
boat was taken rapidly down the stream,
and here his attention was drawn to his
danger, he was near the head of the mill
race, within very short distance of the
rapids, and speeding onward toward the
Falls. As soon as he compounded the
situation. however, he piled himself vigor-
ously to his oars. and although he was
obliged to work for nearly an hour to ac-
complish two or three rods OF headway, he
finally reached the shore and landed with
the firmly established impression that he
had experienced what is generally termed
narrow escape. The fortunate fact that
this yeung man is one of the best oarsmen
in this vicinity probably averted a fatal
catastrophe. --Bufaio Express, Sd.

By GEORGE W. SEARS.


The red-wing'd merle from the beuding spray,
With graceful pinions poising.
Pours out liquid roundeiay
In jnb1lant rejoicing:
The cock -srouse drains ON sounding log,
The fox forsakes the cover.
The woo cock pipes from fen and bog,
From upland 1eas the plover.
The speckiea trout darts up the stream
Beneath the rustic bridges.
While fiocks of pigeons glance and gleam
Ger beech and maple ridges:
The golden robin trills his note,
among the netted shadows,
The bob-o-ii with mellow throat,
Makes musical the meadows
The peeping frogs with silver bells.
In rythmical ovation.
Ring out chime OF treble swalls
In joyous graduation;
The low of kline il uingling with
The song of lar and sparrow,
And fallow fields are growing blithe
Beneath the plow and harrow.
The moon all night, serene and white,
On lake and stream is growing,
While ripplin2 fountains seek her light,
Through woodland valleys flowing;
And all night long low sweet song
Sweeps DER the misty hollow.
From marsh and fen, from hill and glen.
From brook. and field, and fallow.
II is the time Of pleasant things,
When Love max es up his issues,
And hearts well m, like hidden springs,
From rusted cells and tissues
A time TO hear at break of day
A silver-chOrused mstin-
A liquid fretwork in crotchet
On atmospheric sstin,-
time to feast the soul. the eyes,
TO watch each bird that passes. -
And half surmise that birds are vise,
And men are only asses;
And then to turn and raise the load
With weary shoulders bending,
And take the old, well-beaten road
That leads-unto the ending.

Religious Beliefs Of the Indians.


The duality of God was the most ancient
tenet of the Indian faith-a prominent
tenet, it may be observed in all the more
advanced Oriental nations of antiquity.
They believed in the existence of two
| Great Spirits as forming the perfect God
head. One eminently great was the Good
Spirit aud the inferior was an Evil Spirit
They believed every animal to have had q
great original, or father. The first buffalo.
the first bear, the first beaver the first
eagle, ct cOeterd, was the manitou, or guard
ian spirit, OF the whole race of these differ
ent creatures. They chose some one of
these originals as their special manitou
or guardian, and hence arose the custom of
having its representation as the totem OF the
tribe.
Whatever they held to be superior to them
selves they deified. such as the sun, moon,
stars, metaors, fire, water. thunder, wind
but they never exalted their heroes or proph-
cts above the sphere Of humanity. They
adored an invisible great Master of Lite in
various form. which they called Manitou, and
made It a sort of tutelar deity. They had
vague notions Of vicarious atonement, and
made propitiatory sacrifices with great SOL
emnity. They all had dim traditions.of a
deluge as an exhibition of Divine wrath,
and the salvation of family as an act of
Divine mercy. They were verv supersti-
tious, and under the direction of priest.
craft they did cruel and horrible things. In
their Photographic records of moral and re-
ligious thought, as well as of their mythol-
ogy, they employed symbols extensively -
These were also used in writing their songs
and in musical notations.
Their funeral and burial ceremonies in
dicated their belief in the Immortality of
the soul. These ceremonies were of SIM
liar type every where. They laid their
dead, wrapped in skins, upon sticks in the
bottom of a shallow pit, or placed them in
a sitting posture, or occasionally folded
them in skins and laid them upon high
scaffolds out of the reach of wild beasts,
under which the relatives wept and walled.
Their arms, utensils paints, and food were
buried with them, to be used on their long
journey to the spirit land. for they had an
idea that they possessed a twofold nature
of matter and spirit In some regions they
lighted a symbolic funeral pyre for several
nights upon the grave, that the soul might
perceive and enjoy the respect paid to the
body. Every where they raised mounds
over the graves, and planted them with
wild flowers; and among the Floridians,
the widows of warriors slain in battle cut
off their hair and strewed it over the graves
of their loved ones. BENSON J. LOSING, in

SANGUINARY SUICIDE.
An Insane Woman Cuts her Wrist,
and Bleeds to Death.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.


A shocking case of suicide was reported
at the Coroner's Office yesterday morning,
which, according to the facts developed,
might possibly have been prevented had the
victim been sent to that institution which
was founded to meet the requirements of
the case. 1t is certainly painful to part
with dear relative, but sad experience
has demonstrated the danger of allowing an
insane person to be at large. On receiving
notice, the Coroner's Clerk, O'Brien, re-
paired to the dwelling house, 127 Turk ST.,
near Jones, and found that woman nam
ed Annie Schneider had terminated her ex-
istence during the night in frightful
manner. After retiring to her room last
evening, she had procured razor, and
made deep incision in each wrist, an inch
and a half in length. She then came down
to the foot of the stairs, laid herself on the
floor, and bled to death. No unusual noise
was heard about the premises during the
night, and the first knowledge of the tragic
affair was the discovery of the poor woman
lying stiff and cold In pool of blood.
The deceased left long letter in the
German language, in which she stated that
her sufferings had been almost beyond en-
durance for three months past, and her
a
could make her nervous. She was Sc years
old, and never committed any wrong act,
yet felt that some one was prosecuting her;
and she prayed God to relieve her of his
presence. She complained of not under
standing the English language-it was a
great bar to her happiness in this country.
She wished to be buried beside daughter
who died some time ago, and leaves
her watch to her son Martin. a chain to
Wilhelm and a buckle and pin to Annie.
The letter states further, that she is not
afraid to die, and does not wish her name
mentioned after death. Reference is made
in several cases to the cause which led her
to commit suicide, and in ono place she
says that in this nineteenth century men
are not punished for perpetrating crimes,
and there Is man trying to kill her Mrs.
Schneider was a widow, and has been crazy
for the last three years, bat never attempted
any deed of violence before. She has sew

in this city, and one of the latter has been
staying with her for year past. The cor
