An Eccentric GentIewOman on her
Travels.

The Countess Derwentwater is a char
acter. Recently she took a steamer at
Jersey City for Liverpool, and the goods
she carried with her were thus invento-
ried: =,
One guitar with two strings; two old
cane-seated chairs, one with two legs
three empty four-gallon demijohns, un-
corked; two peacocks and a black-and-
tan in box; two broken children s
cribs Of mahogany, one without rockers;
one cross breed hound of English birth;
one champagne basket, covered with
dust; one broken painters easel; three
rickety deck chairs, with varnish scraped
off; one bag Of tinware; one 6x3 pedes-
tai without statuette, cracked; four plain,
square, Irish chests, two painted red and
two black, locks broken and hanging,
each marked in white letters Countess
d." two mammoth chests, cross
tied with a piece Of half-inch clothes
line, with the same mark-these
contained the Countess numerous hats
fifteen ancient-looking trunks, tied across
the sides and double-knotted at the back;
one tray for mixing dough- two tin
berth-room trunks; one bundle OF loose
clothing; two portable hat-racks, some
what worn; six cases of mysteriously
packed bottles, supposed to be ale; three
crates of sauces, mixed pickles and cat
SUBS, put up in every conceivable shape;
one copper-colored work-box done up
in oil; seven heavy treble-twilled En-
glish travelling shawls, tied with twine;
thirteen cray wooden blankets, made in
form of snake down; seventeen
packages of files OF newspapers.
The Countess wore on this occasion a
green silk dress, white crepe shawl, a
pair Of white silk gloves, etc. When the
laborers took hold of the box containing
the lady's favorite reacocks and the
black-and-tan, the curious crowd pressed
down on the Countess until her lace
trimmed bonnet took a peep skyward,
and her costly shawl swept the rough
boards Of the pier. Handle EN- gently,
they're my only loves" she sharply
cried, as she broke through the jeering
crowd, and reached the foot Of the gang
plank. This remarkable woman" says
the Sun, has fine estate in the north
Of England, in the county of Cumber-
land, called Derwentwater. She has al
ways been noted for her eccentricity Of
manner and antiquated notions. Her
wardrobe is said to consist Of over two
hundred rich and elaborately-trimmed
dresses, girted with gold-lace, fringes
and parti-colored velvets. She wears no
diamonds, and but one plain hnger-ring
adorns her hands. She claims to have
among her apparel robes worn by some
Of the bellies Of the time Of William the
Conqueror, and when she travels these
are part Of her personal luggage, care

wonders Of California.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.l
Near the confines of FRESNO, Tulare,
and Inyo counties, in the vicinity Of
the head waters of the Keweah,
there exists remarkable piece
of country. The Indians say it is the
abiding place of the Evil Spirit. The
country is rugged and rocky-mountains
with deep valleys and precipitous cliffs.
Snakes and reptiles Of every description
abound in untold numbers, and, taken in
all, it is a wild and most uninviting re-
gion. But aside from this a most curious
phenomenon exists. The ground trem-
bles and quakes almost continuously, and
the abundant rocks grind and grit to-
gether as if being urged by some terrible
influence. Frequently deep discharges
are heard, muifled and dull, like the dis
tant sound Of heavy artillery. At night
the sounds seem to be more abundant
than in the day time. No Indian can
be induced to venture near the locality,
regarding it with sHperstitious horror.
No theory is advanced by any one 10 ae-
count for the strange phenomenon men
toned We also learn from William
Faymonville that above the head Of
Crane Valley, in this county, another
place similar to the one mentioned
exists. Persons who have visited the
last place named describe the sounds
mentioned as like muiiled thunder.

Catherine Shoemaker was very pretty
girl in the employ of Mr.. Sharp, very
wealthy citizen of Spencer county, Ky.
Her mistress died-with a bad taste in
her mouth. Then Catherine married the
widower, and he only survived long
enough to bequeath all his property to
his young wife, when he died-with a
bad taste in his mouth. She now made
Mr.. Samuel Bachelor Benedict for
loves s sweet sake. The relatives of her
first husband sued her and had Mr..
Sharp's will declared null on the ground
of undue influence. Poverty coming in
at the door of the Probate Court, love
flew out at the window, and Mr.. Batch
elor died--with bad taste in his mouth.
Consequently Mrs. Sharp-Batchelor, nee
Shoemaker, is in prison.

Communing WIN the stars.

Mr.. Fulger, meditative Buffalonian
who had faith in his ability to navigate
the upper air, set about making himself
wings for the erial experiment. Time
and study have been lavishly expended,
and the other day he had completed the
desired wings and resolved to visit the
heavens just over Detroit He called
the newspaper reporters to witness his
flight heavenward, and promised to send
kilograms from great distance in an
hour or two. When a select audience
was assembled the flyer fastened upon
his shoulders two wings, each above
seven feet in length and three feet eight
inches at the broadest part, tapering
thence downward like an eagles wing.
At the lower part of the wing was piece
of cork about six inches square; from
this eight strips of rattan, not quite as
large around as a lead pencil, ran the
whole length bound together at certain
places with light wires. AT the butt each
rattan was fastened to the cork with a
small screw. The wings were made to
fasten directly under the arms, stout
cords running up over the shoulders to
hold them. They were covered with an
oil skin flament, and the weight of the
two was just two pounds and half
On the upper side of each wing, where
the hands could handily grasp them,
strip of stout rubber was fastened, and
the flying was to be done by the man
grasping these hands and working the
wings up and down, the hands first push
ing and then pulling. When expectation
had reached its highest pitch, the ero-
naut mounted barn, spread his wings,
and tucked upward, but the wings some
how got tangled, and he communed with
the stars on the green sward for few
moments by standing on his head

AT THE WINDOW.
Il. WHITMORE,
Publisher and Proprietor,

Only to listen-listen and wait
For his slow. firm step down the gravel walk
To hear the click of his hand at the gate,
And feel every heart beat through careless
talk.
All! love is sweet when love is young.
And life and love are both so long.
Only to watch hin. about the room,,
lighting it up with his quiet smile,
That seems to lift the world out of gloom,
And bring Heaven nearer me-for awhile,
A little while-since love is young,
And life is beautiful as long.
Only 20 love hlm-nothing more;
Never thought of his loving me;
Proud Of him, glad in him. though he bore
My heart to shipwreck on his smooth sea,
Loves faith sees only grief, not wrong,
And life is daring when tbs young.
All mel what matter? The world goes round
And bliss and bale are both outside things
never can lose what in him found.
Though love be sorrow with half-growr
wing:
And if love flies when We are young,
Why, life Is still not long-not long.
And Heaven is kind to the faithful heart;.
And if we are patient. and brave and calm
Our fruits will last, though our powers depart
Some day when sleep with folded palm,
No longer fair, no longer young, At tHI
Life may not seem so bitter long.
The tear dried up in her shining eyes.
Her parted lips took a sanity peace;
His shadow across the doorway lies,
With her doubts gather, darken. cease;
When hearts are pure. and bold aud strong,
True love as life itself is long.

A Large supply of the Cancer Cure
Coming.

From the New York Tines
The victims of cancer who have been
anxiously looking forward to time not
far distant when they would be able to
procure supply Of the South American
specific, cundurango," will be pleased
to learn that DIR. d. NJ. Bliss, of Wask-
ington, expects very soon to obtain a
sufficient quantity to furnish all who
may be in need Of it. Hon. A. II. Latin,
Naval Officer at this port, made applica-
tion few days ago, in behalf of g friend,
for some of the specific, and in reply
DR.. Bliss wrote, on the 10Th instant, that
he had none to spare. He says: re-
ceive but small quantity at a time,
and it being my purpose to treat few
cases here, where they can be
under my own immediate observation,
it will be impossible for me to
send any of it away. The remedy, as
well as myself, having been attacked, /
desire to demonstrate to the public what
it will do, which necessitates the above
course" In a circular note, however,
the doctor says he expects to receive a
sufficient quantity by the LIST, or the
18th of August at the farthest, to sup
ply the profession or the public as they
may desire. He says that enough has
been developed by its use to assure him
that it is the most powerful Alternative
ever in the hands of the profession, and
that it possesses a specific influence
over the poison of cancer, " From the
statements of the physicians of Quinto,
and my own experience in its use, am
convinced that the cundurango is
quite as reliable as specific in cancer,
scrofula and other blood diseases as
cinchona and its alkaloid have proved
to be in zymotic diseases"
