Curious Case Of Second sIghs.

1t is a historical fact that the Rev.
Joseph Buckminster, who died in
Vermont in 1872, just before his death
announced that his distinguished son,
the Rev. J. S. Buckminster, of BOs-
ton, was dead. 1t afterward turned
out that the son had breatned his last
about the moment that his father
made the announcement. The Eaton
(O.) Telegraph, of the present week,
tells the following incident, which
may be taken as a parallel to that of
the Buckminsters:
On Wednesday morning last, at 4
o'clock, Gen. John Quinn breathed his
last. But a few minutes after that
Joseph Deem, who also died on the
14th, aroused from his sleep and said
to his son, John, who was at his side,
"JOhn, Gen. Quinn is dead" To
this John said. az reckon you are mis-
taken, father, you have been dream.
ing; L guess Gen. Quinn is not dead.
He is not even sick, but goes down
Ownregularly every day for his mail.
II Yes,n said Father Deem, al know
he is dead" and he had scarcely
finished speaking when Benz. HOman
walked in, about o'clock, as was his
habit, and said to them, "Gen. Quinn
is deadr' What is strange about it is
that Father Deem did not know OF
Gen. Quinn's illness, and, in all prob
ability, had not heard his name men,
toned. Was it the freed spirit of Gen.
Quinn on its first mission out of the
body, to carry the news to an old and
dear friend also near the portals OF
death? Or, was it a wider vision, a
supernatural sight given to Father
Deems so that, as he stood on the
confines of the unseen world, he took
in the scope of his sight things unseen
to the natural eye? Did he see with
the freed spirits eye? However this
may be answered, it is full of interest
to every inquiring mind.

Putting Him Out.

A sailor strayed into a church anC
took a seat next the clerk.
After the minister had read 4 pOr
ton of the sevice the clerk answered
a loud voice, "Amen."
"StOp, stop, can't you behave your
self in church," said the honest tar.
"If you keep hOllerin' that way you'll
be turned out"
Again the minister resumed the
service. The clerk answered
"Amen ~
The sailor pulled him by the sleeve.
"Hush, yOn fool /; can't you hush
you talkin'.'
"Put that man out" said the min
lister.
The service was again resumed and
the clerk answered 'Amen."
At this the sailor tried to stop hin
by clapping his hand on the clerks
mouth.
"Will somebody obIige me by put.

Virginia, New, March 1.-THE ep-
iZOOtic appeared here on Sunday and
is already almost universal. The
Omnibuses have stopped running and
scarcely a team is to be seen on NIr-
ginia Gold Hill to-day, where were
hundreds on Saturday. Consequently,
the mills and mines away from the
line of railroad are dependent on
teams for supplies of fuel. The move
ment of ore will be obliged to be sus-
pended when the supplies on hand
are exhausted. Some mills and
mines in Gold Hill, Silver City and
Dayton have already suspended. The
railroad depOts are chOkiOg with
freight, which cannot be removed
as fast as it arrives. The country Is
being secured for oxen, the price oi
which has advanced one hundred per
cent. since Saturday.

1t may not be a theological, but is
a sensible view for the weary. This
business Of providing for our daily
wants wears out the souls and bodies
Of our wives and children, aud bids
fair to become the skeleton in every
mans household. Nor is it easy to
provide remedy; money will not
buy help. Pay what you will, in
someway or other you are the servant
Of your servants, and find that your
home comfort depends on your kitch-
en-. This question of how to live is
rapidly becoming the great social prob
lem of our times, not only in the
United States, but in Europe. The
idea Of general equality spreads like a
pest.lence, until the whole organiza-
ton of society topples from top to
bottom What the upshOt will be it

PeFpetual Motion.

The Scientific american being ask
ed by q correspondent for its opinion,
of perpetual motion, explains the
whole matter in the following lucid
manner: Many forms of perpetual
motion machines have been invent
ed. The simplest plan is the tub,
When 4 man places himself in a tub
and by a steady pull at the handles
lifts himself from the ground, then
he has produced a successful perpet-
ual motion. All such machines,
necessarily operate on tine same prin-
ciple, and, until an individual is
enabled to operate the simple form
above described with success, it will
be useless for him to expect that he
can work a more complicated perpet-
ual motion. The addition of cog
wheels and levers will not help the
matter.

The Postal card system.

1t is time 10 say something about
postal cards. 1t is said that they
have been in convenient use for sew
eral years in Germany and Great
Britain, and for a more limited peri
Od in Canada. The system IS a sim
pie one for short communications not
confidential i'm their nature through
the mails cheaply and rapidly. In
stead of note paper and envelopes,
tough and durable cards, composed Of
linen and cotton, will be used for the
messages. The cards will be tinted
and calendered on both sides for
printing and writing with ink or pen
Gil. And they are intended to betlex-
ible as well as tough.
The postal cards will have an I'M
pressed penny postage stamp and rul-
ing for the address OF one side, and
ruling for the message on the other.
They will be without envelopes, flaps
or covers. The POstmaster-General
assures US that they will be superior
in artistic execution to those in Eu-
rope or Canada, and cannot be easily
cOunterfeited. They are to be fur
nished by the Department in quanti-
ties at the price of the stamps, which
will be one cent each. It is estimat-
ed that they will cost the government
one and twn-thiryls Of mill each. and
afford a revenue Of eight mills and a
third
It is expected by the Postmaster
General that at least 100000 900 Of
them will be consumed the first year
of their use, and that the sale will be
/ geOmstrically greater afterwards. The
kind of correspondence which may be
carried on with the cards is expected
to be short inquiries and answers, in
vitatiOns and circulars. They will be
i'm shape TO be used on the instant, and
rapidly. They will be open to the in
spection Of the clerks in the POst-Of-

Anew Letter from Gen. Washington

l NIL EhlNbNf Il CDs u ltOD.
MY DEAR SIR: Your favor of the
4th Of January never reached me till
yesterday, or the receipt of it should
have had an earlier acknowledgement.
Let me in the first place thank you
| for your kind attention to my inquir.
les and in the next pray you TO learn
precisely, from Mr.. Lear, upon what
! terms he would come TO me, for l am
not inclined to leave matters of this
sort to after discussion, or miscOncep-
ton. Whatever agreement is pre-
viously made shall be pOintedly full
filled on my part, which will prevent
any cause of complaint on his.
Mr.. Lear, or any other who may
come into my family in the blended
characters of preceptOr TO my children
and as a clerk or private secretary to
me, will sit at my table, will live as /
live, will mix with the company
which resort TO the house, and will be
treated in every respect with civility
and proper attention. He will have
his washing done i'll the family, and
may have his linen and stockings
mended by the maid oft. The duties
which will be required of him are,
generally, such as appertain to the
offices before mentioned. The first
will be very trifing till the children
are a little more advanced-and the
latter will be equally so as my cores
pOndences decline (which l am ell
deavOring to effect, and after accounts
and other old matters are brought up.
To descend more minutely into his
avOcatiOns / am unable, because Occa-
siOnal matters may require services &,
nothing derOgatOry, however, will be
asked or expected. After this eXpla-
natiOnlOf my wants, Irequest Mr.. Lear
would mention the annual sum he
will expect for these services, and /
will give him a decided answer by the
return of the stages, which now car
ry the mail and travel quick. A good
hand, as well as proper dictiOn, would
be a recommendation, on account of
fair entries {; and for the benefit of the
children who will have to copy after
it. The discovery of extracting fresh
water from salt water, by a simple
process, and without the aid of fire,
will be of amazing Importance to the
sons of Neptune; if it is not vitiated,
or rendered nauseOUs by the opera
ton, but can be made to answer all
the purposes of other fresh water at
sea. Every maritime person in the
world, in this case, ought, in my opin-
ion, to offer some acknowledgment
to the inventor. With sentiments of
great regard and friendship, | am, my
dear sir, your afcte,
