A Singular Case.

The following was written by young
lady about nineteen years of age, who
was afflicted with spinal hysteria, a pa
tient of DR.. Barrows. He says, cannon.
upon her cure, her poetical etfusions ar,
most wonderful, as the following macar
onic will prove, She has written articles
in Frencn equally correct, though she ha'
never studied either language. The,
were written some years ego, while in {
state of mental alteration, entirely uncon
scious Of what she was doing. 1t ha,
been a matter of very great wonder te
every one, whether to credit her with the
authorship, or to regard it as feat o
mnemoniss. If the latter, no one has beer
able to discover the author.
Sed tempus necessit, and this was all over
Cum ILL successit another gay rover,
Nam cum navigaret, in his own cutter
Portentum apparel, which made thom all lut
ter.
Est horridus angus which they behold:
Haud dubio sanguis, within them ran cold;
Trigenta pedes his head was uprased
1t corporis sedes in secret was placed
Sic serpens manobat, so says the same joker,
Et sese forebat as stiff as poker;
Tergum fricabat against the old lighthouse
Et sese liberabat Of scaly detritus
Tune plumbo percussit, thinking he hath him
At serpens exsilut full thirty fathom;
E1siluit mare with pain and alright,
Conatus abnare as fast as he might.
Nequo iii secut-no, nothing SO rash,
Terrore stunt multi, he'd make such splash.
Sed nunc adierunt, the place to inspect,
Et squamus viderunt, the which they collect.
Qui cunque non credat aut doubtfully rails,
Ad locum accedat. they'll show him the scales,
Quas sola trophea, they brought to the shore
Et causa est ca they couldn't get more"
1t is believed when a thought has once
been lodged in the mind, it will never a
gain utterly lose its place. Coleridge il
his Biographia Literaria, tells us of ,
similar case Of woman, who in an un
conscious state babbled away long tim,
in an unknown tongue, but returning tt
consciousness. could remember nothing o
what she had said nor give any accouu
of her acquiring it. 1t was afterward
found that she had lived in the family o
a clergyman, whom she had heard re
peatiug certain passages of Hebrew t.
commit them to memory, and she proba
bly, heard the sound of the words and re
membered them, without knowing thei
meaning.
: These cases are probably both argu
ment and incident in proof of the fact
Again, the very effort we make to recov
er forgotten circumstance is proof tha
it remains in the mind. Old persons
often find thoughts recurring to them ii
their hours of repose, which had been for
gotten for years. 1t cannot fail to occur
to every rejecting mind, how exceeding
ly important is the acquisition of usefu
knowledge and right principles. For il
untold ages beyond the confines of time
the acquisitions we are here making may
again recur to mar or bless our being.

How TO SPOIL A GIRL.-Tell her she
is little lady, and must not run; make
her a sun-bonnet yard too deep, to keep
her from tanning. Do not let her play
with her boy cousins, "they are so rude.
Tell her not to speak loud, it is so mascu-
line and that loud laughing is quite un-
genteel. Teach her music, but never
mind her spelling. Give her earrings at
six years of age. Teach her to set her
cap for the beaux at eleven. And after
your pains-taking, if she does not grow a
simpering, unrefecting nobody, that can
not answer love-letter without some
smart old aunt to help her, give her up
she is past all remedy.

a Terrible Tragedy.

At about 5 o'clock Saturday af.
ternoon this city was suddenly
thrown into the most intense ex,
cltement by the news that Capt.
John ID. Caldwell, a young man
without a known enemy, and a
brother in law of U. S. Senator T.
j. Robertson, had been shot dead
in the dining hall of the Pollock
House, and that Major James Nj.
Morgan, a son.in law OF George A.
Trenholm, Esq, of Charleston, had
been severely wounded. The news
spread like wildfre, and i'm loss
time than it takes to write it, scores
OF the intimate friends of the de-
ceased had reached the scene, on,
ly to find the sad reports to be true,
tor on the floor lay Mr.. Caldwell,
shot through the heart and instant
ly killed, while the dining hall pre-.
sented a scene of utter confusion,
chairs being upset, table furniture
scattered,0 and even the napkins
covered, and the table sauces
mingled with the blood of the vic.
tins of this terrible encounter.
Every nook and corner of the
city and suburbs poured forth its
residents, aud very soon the street
in front OF where the tragedy took
place was packed with anx
ious peering faces pointing towards
the door. The colored people, with
whom the deceased was q favorite,
were present en- masse. and were
one to judge from the feeling ex-
hibited, and the mingled mutter.
ingo OF grief and threats, a spark
would have sent the murderer be
yond the pale of law. BE it said,
however, That to the credit OF all,
both white and black, the better
counsels of mans conscience pre-.
vailed, and the surging mass who
could not gain entrance, waited
with increasing anxiety the result
OF the proceedings Of the jury OF
inquest, catching at every straw oi
information that foated out from
the room OF death with an eager.
ness, than which no other iadica.
tion was more meet to measure the
love thatremained behind him who
slept the quiet sleep OF death within.
The police authorities were i'm
mediately on the spot, and arrested

thereby debauching the represent.
atives OF the people, and bringing
reproach upon the Republican bar,
ty and upon the State that com.
ing into this State poor young
man, he nevertheless became the
owner OF about 200 shares, at $50
cash per share, and that he found
abundant comfort besides, in the
Office OF the treasurer and mana.
ger Of the company, ut a salary of
$4,000 per annumt Between this
and the charge Mr.. Cardozo has
made, there is not, 1 submit, a far
remove. That ''some of the most
honorable business men in Charles.
ton" own stock in the companv.
and that under his management
the dividends have not been re.
munerative, does not affect the
morality of the transaction.
1t was due to you, gentlemen. as
we'll as to myself, to make this 70.

GUS allusions to myself personally,
contained in Mr.. Tomlinson's card.
1t is one OF the evils which now be-
set us that we are forced into con-
tact with men bred and trained in
that peculiar creed, which, while
1t permits the most wanton attack,
furnishes shield behind which to
shrink from the responsibility of a
gentleman.
