Singular Chance.

A Pennsylvania paper relates the
following: "a week or two since q
gentleman who resides in this vicinity
went to Philadelphia and put up at a
hotel, and, while resting after tea in the
reception room, overheard two gentle
men conversing In regard to q trial

courts of that city. Our neighbor
learned from this conversation that q
man had obtained money. upon his
wife's property, the wife giving'a mort
gage. The money was spent in dissi-
patton, the wife became a raving
maniac, and was confined in the asy-
lum, where she now is the husband

nate couple were furnished with guar

the suit, then being tried, against the
holder of the mortgage, on the ground
that the wife was not Of legal age when
the instrument was executed. The
gentleman knew that a neice Of his,

An Artists VIII.

A biography Of the artist Turner will
soon be published in London. Taking
some Of the facts given. M. D. Conway
writes:
Turner left cloudy will. It was
evident that he meant that certain
sums should 60 to poor artists, but
these REPRESENTATION in a codicl
with bis OWE hand-were so full of in
terpolations and Commissions, that when
the next of kin had failed in their eff
forts to prove that the testator was of
unsound mind, they succeeded so far
as to secure compromise. What
ever, therefore, Turner may have in
tended, his craftsmanship of 914O,-
600 and his vast number of pictures;
sketches and engravings-was disposed
of on March 10, 1856, as follows: /.
The real estate to 60 TO the heir at law.
2. The pictures and sketches to go to
the National Gallery on the conditions
Of the will. 8. One thousand pounds
to go to the erection Of a monument in
st. Paups Cathedral. f. Twenty thou
sand pounds to the Royal Academy,
free Of legacy duty. 5. Remainder to
be divided between the next Of kin.
The documents in this chancery suit,
which lasted four years, are of several
tons weight. The bills of cost alone
would fill a butchers cart TIE law

Turner stinted himself that he might
endow English art. He heaped up
riches, and it is to be hoped knows not

EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY.

by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH.
Touched with the delicate green of early May,
Or later, when the rose unveils her face
The world hangs glittering in star strewn space
Fresh as a jewel found but yesterday.
And yet it's very old; what tongue may say
How ole it is? Race follows upon race,
Forgetting and forgotten; in their place
We build on tombs, and live our day, snd die;
From out our dust new towers and temples
start; Is -
Our very name becomes mystery.

In violet glooms beneath the moaning sea!

A Struggle With a Wounded Buck.
From the Lake CO., Democrat.

FROM the Lake w. Oe10OCraC
One Monday morning Kirk Pool was
hunting in the mountains above his
place, a short distance from Lakeport.
He brought down fine three-point
buck, which, as the hunter approached
to cut his throat, began to recover from
the effects OF the shot, staggering to his
feet. Hastily pouring q charge of pow
der down his rifle, Kirk let an unpatch-
ed ball fall into the barrel, thinking it
would reach the powder, and fred at
the deer. The ball evidently lodged in
the barrel above the powder, and the
rifle was torn for about, five inches
above the breech. Kirk was unhurt
+ by the bursting Of his gun, and throw
ing it down, approached his prey once
more. By his time. the buck had
fully recovered from the shot, and
was himself ready for the fight, and
the first thing Kirk knew was that the
point of each antler had entered the
palm of each hand, and hehad the deer
| by the horns. The buck was strong,
and a rough-and-tumble fight ensued,
the deer jerking the man up and down,
and wounding him i'll the face. AT
length, by an almost superhu1msa'nl Ell
fort, Kirk threw the buck, and. putting
his foot on one of his horns, drew his
knife and finished him.

The stirring scenes in the HOUSE reported
in detail in the Sentinel of yesterday
are thus graphically portrayed by Mr.. Kee-
nan in his telegram to the Chicago Times:
A scene more passionately dramatic than
any episode since the war electrified the
House to-day on Blaine's motion for an
amendment to Rsndall's am nesty bill. Mr.
Randall presented during the first week of
the ssion amnesty bill identical in
terms with the two that passed the repub-
lican House in previous sessions without
demur from either party. Mr.. Blaine also
presented the first week of the session bill
identical with Rsndall's in terms, save that
JEFF Davis is excepted from the rights
of amnesty. There was no an
ticipstion that any unusual debate would
be brought about on the bills, until Mr..
demanded the right of lacking amend
ment TO Mr.. Randall's bill. This was voted
down, but instead of giving up the contest,
the ex-speaker pushed his point, and to the
estoDishment of every one, the bill was
lost, falling to receive twO-thirds majority,

standing of the situation, a movement for

HOW THE FLOOR WAS SECURED,
and how, in spite o; Randall, Blaine virtu-
ally gained, by his celebrity and dexterity,
charge of the amnesty bill, instead of RAN
dali, its mover. The rule of the House Is
that when a vote is taken q member of the
majority on the Winning side OF propo-
sition can move to reconsider. This motion
to reconsider gives the mover the floor to
open and close the debate upon the mo ion.
Now in the vote upon the passage of
Randall's bill twO-thirds vote was
required, as it was offered under
a suspension OF the rules. The minority,
of which Blaine is a member, constitutes
more than one-third OF those voting upon
the bill, and was therefore a virtual majority
against the measure. Mr.. Blaine then
moved rec,ns ideration. This pOin. of his,
it is said, has no prece lieut., but everyone
upon both sides coDceeds It's correctness.
Having won mis- position, Blaine was ready
with his ammunition. It was plain to the
