An Unpleasant Situation.

There is in the Auburn On. " state
prison convict who, for nearly ten
years, has been shivering under the
gallows. The prisoner was convicted
of murder in 1862, and sentenced to be
hanged. Under the provisions of the
old law the Governor could ordeE his
execution at any time, and meanYhjl lie
the culprlt was to be confined il. the
state prison. He is still there, for no
Governor has ordered his execution,
but is liable at any time to be tslsen
out and strangled to death. He is said
to be in the habit of thanking God
eAery night for saving him from the
gallows for that day The poor wretch
must have suffered thousand deaths
already, and if he is not to be hung it
would be an act of the barest Justice
to commute his sentence and relieve
him of his horrible dread

MnYement of Glaciers.

From 1854 to 1866 the glaciers of
Mont Blanc diminished in size and
force. The Glacier de Tour, which
invaded the Valley of Chamounix, has
retreated 567 yards since 1854. A stone
which marks the spot reached by the
Glacier Des de Bols, or Mer-de-Glace,
in 1925, stood III 1866 424 yards from
certain boundaries well marked and re-
membered The ice decreased more
than 100 yards. Those of Blossoms and
Argentine receded $50 and 1877 yards
from 1854 to 1866. That of Blossoms, a
mighty slo Wy moving mass of solid ice,
has actually lost about SO yards of its
thickness. These facts indicate an in
creasing solar temperature III those ter
ribly frozen localities, which must have
been of long duration.

A Curious Story about Mrs. Lincoln Re
iterated.
from the Boston Herald

4 few days ago paragraph In the
Herald, based upon what was known
to be good authority, announced that
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln had recently
visited Boston, and incognito and
closely yelled, attended a public seOHce
of a well-known medium lady on Wash
ington street, on which occasion the
spirit Of her iai:leiitEd husband appear
ed and, by unmistakable manifesto
tons, revealed to all present the iden-
tlty of Mrs Lincoln, which she had at
tempted to keep secret. We have now
the best authority for saying that the
report was in all respects accurate that
Mrs Lincoln did visit Boston on the
4th inst. that she took lodgings at the
Parks House, registering her name as
Mrs. hinder; that she remained there
ten days, during which time she made
frequent visits to the medium above
mentioned, and that while at the hotel,
her identity was discovered by person
who had often seen her in Washington
She desired to have her visit to Boston
unknown, but the injunction of secrecy
ceased TO be binding after the revela
ton at the public seanco. 1t is further
stated by those Ill position to know,
that the interviews with the medium
were of the most satisfactory and con
elusive nature, as affording tests of the
real presence of the spirit of her hus-
band

Only TO Love.

Only to love her-nothing more,
No larger boon ask
Only to bless her DER and DER,
And in her smile to bask
Only to catchtthe light that lies
Within her glance divine;
Only to see her-tho' her eyes
May wander not to mine.l
Only to hear her-tho' her words
Be not to me addressed:
Their sound can thrill the fondest chords
Thai tremble in my breast!
Only to love her-tho her love
Be not bestowed ON me-
Only to breathe her name above,
Through all eternity

The fourth Of July was celebrated in
great style at Chester, South Carolina. and
some extraordinary information was given
by Judge Mackey. He said that he had
been to Washington and had enjoyed an in.
terview with General Grant, who told him
to say to "the Republicans Of South Caro-
lima chat he had semi his infantry, his caval-
ry and his artillery down there to protect
the people but, unless there was "A speedy
change for the better in the affairs of the
State, he would come with a stronger
powerr-i. O.. with more Of his infantry, his
cavalry and his artillery-and f" he would
il necessary, remand the State back to a
