4 Missing viii RecOyered-$30O, 900
Involved.
From the New York Sun. Oct. 2e.

Henry Dillon, an ex-Union soldier,
| proprietor of newspaper stand at
Montgomery and Hudson streets, Jer-
sey City, yesterday received check for
$500 from the daughter of the late
General Stegman of the Confederate
| army. The circumstances under which
the money was paid are romantic.
During the war Dillon served in the
Second New Jersey cavalry. He accom-
panied his regiment on Grierson's S
famous raid through Mississippi, and
while on scouting expedition one day
encountered General Stegman and one
Of his staff officers. Shots were ex-
changed, and the rebel General fell
from his saddle. mortally wounded. The
staff officer fed, but was overtaken and
captured by comrade of Dillon's. In
his dying moments, General Stegman
requested his slayer TO take from one of
his inside pockts his will, bequeathing
all his property to his wife and daugh-
ter, and a life insurance policy for
$4,000. He asked Dillon to keep them
and send them to his family.
After the war Mr.. Dillon advertised
in vain for the owners, and he resolved
to retain possession of the papers until
some inquiries should be made for them
Recently an advertisement appeared in
the Alabama papers offering $500 re-
ward for the missing will. Dillon
answered it, and General Stegman's
daughter came North as the guest of
Roger A. Pryor. She related the par
ticulars of the long search for the will,
the difficulties that had been encoun-
tered, the production of a forged will
by her fathers relatives, and their
Mobile lawsuits. She expressed deep
gratitude to Mr.. Dillon for the recovery
of the will, and said that through it
her mother and herself would be ena-
bled to regain possession of their
extensive Alabama and Georgia estates.
The estates are valued at 100000.
Dillon is to be subpenaed as wit
ness in the suits for their restoration to
the rightful owners. Young Dillon gal
lantly distinguished himself in several
actions during the war, and was one of
the few private soldiers to whom Con-
gress voted a gold medal for bravery.

Short Sugar Crop.
pHVfV EJUOU1 VTVPs
From the New Orleans Picayune, Oct. q

From the New Orleans Picayune. Oct. g.
The sugar crop, it was generally ex
pected, would give fair average yield,
but according to the statements of a
number of planters who called upon us
yesterday, this has been one of the
most disastrous seasons for cane known
for years, to say nothing of our unrelia-
BILE and expensive labor. To begin
with: The stubble cane suffered ex-
tensively from the frost last winter, and
seed cane was much injured. Add to
this that, contrary to the general i'm
preston the breadth of ground put in
cane this season is much less than that
of last year-our informant's estimate
is little more than one-half The sea.
son, too, has been a most unfortunate
one for the planter.
The long continued rains of early
summer laid an embargo upon field
operations. 1t is within our knowledge
that one planter did but day and a
half's work in his field during the
whole month of June, and we may add
that the story of one is the history of
many A more unpropitious season for
working the crop has not been encoun
tered, it is alleged, for many years. The
prospective yield may therefore readily
be estimated. According to our in
formation, the crop in West Baton
Rouge, Lafourche, st. John, st. James
and st. Charles is distressingly poor, AS
general thing, with, as is understood,
here and there an enviable exception.
In some fields the grass is as high as the
cane. A number of planters will not
grind at all. Some fields do not give
half hogshead to the acre.

The Cancels Hump.

Modern research has determined a
curious circumstance of an organic con-
trivance in the camel and leech, unlike
as they are in structure, functions and
habits, which has reference to supply
ing them with food from Storehouses in
their own bodies till supplies are attain,
able from other sources.
The hump is an immense collection
of fat stored in reticulated cells piled
one upon another, which is concentrat-
ed food. When fodder cannot be had,
as frequently occurs on their long cara
van travels in the desert, peculiar set
of absorbent vessels draw upon the
magazine---the hump-carrying the fat
into circulation till food from without
puts % stop to the draft ON the back
The hump is very sensibly diminished
at times-even being almost completely
leveled, but that which was thus bor-
rowed to sustain life temporarily is i'm
mediately replaced when the stomach
is set in motion again in it's accustomed
manner. .... ..
The medical leech or bloodsucker,
low as it is in the organic scale of life,
is as carefully provided for in regard to
the contingencies of life as the king of
the country. AS the blood passes down
the glllet of the leech the current
divides right and left to enter two lat,
eral tubes, instead of entering directly
into the stomach. These canals are
folded zig-zag, backward and forward in
loops, as it were, from the head to the
tail. When perfectly filed the leech
lets go its hold. 1t is then plump and
full, with stock of food on hand that
may ordinarily last from one to two
years, in case it has no opportunity to
take in another in that long time.
