were once very popular, died June 20, in
New York city, at the age of forty-four
years. His sketches, which were marked
by fund of extravsgant humor, were
first published in the Tribune, ON the
staff of which he was in turn reporter,
dramatic critic, and war correspondent.

including the Witches of New York "

afterwards to a daughter of Fanny Fern,
by whom he had daughter, who is now

curious circumstance connected with
Mr.. Thompson's marriages is that both

Almost everybody rushes at fainting
person, and strives TO raise him up, and
especially to keep the head erect. There
must be an instipctive apprehension that
if person seized with fainting or other
fit falls into the incumbent position
death is more imminent. Now the head
of fainting person should be on level
lower than the body. Painting is caused
bya want of blood in the brain; the
heart ceases to act with sufficient force to
send the usual amount of blood to the
brain, and hence the person loses con-
sciousness because the function Of the
brain ceases. Restore the blood TO the
brain and instantly the person recovers,
Now, though the blood is propelled to all
parts of the body by the action of the
heart, yet IT is still under the influence
of the laws of gravitation. In the erect
position the blood ascends to the head
against gravitation, and the supply to the
brain is diminished, a. compared, with
the recumbent position of the hearts
pulsation being equal. II, then, you
place a person sitting, whose heart has
nearly ceased TO beat, his brain will fail
To receive blood, while il you lay him
down, with the head lower than the heart,
blood will run into the brain by the mere
force of gravity; and in fainting, in
sufficient quantity To restore conscious
ness. Indeed, nature teaches us how To
manage fainting persons, for they alway'
fall, and frequently are at once restored
by the recumbent position into which
/ they are thrown.

A Paris paper narrates story ofwhich
a Parisian recently returned from the
Cape was the hero. One day having
strayed away with two companion for a
long distance from the town, he, with his
friends, came upon a cabin, which, being
very hungry, they entered. In it was an
old negress, who WAS making and cook
ing sort of omelet. They made her
understand by signs that they were very
hungry, and particularly wanted that
omolet, and would pay a good price for
il. She, by signs, assented readily.
Then. pointing 10 string Of mushrooms
hanging by, they intimated that these
would make savory addition TO the
meal. The woman, with a scream OF
horror, abandoned her cooking and took
refuge in corner. They, without more
ado, added the mushrooms for them
selves, and found the whole delicious.
As they finished, cry Of despair was
heard at the door. The negro husband

ordinary picture of the Christ, by Gabriel

be glad to know Of, and haply to 20 and
see for themselves. Its the face of the

kerchief of Veronica, but with closed
eyes. However, as one advances. the
eyes appear To open gradually, until the
spectator is arrested with their pathetic
and mourniul gaze. This lasts till he
gets quite close, when the eyelids are
again fast shut in the calm sleep of death.
