New York. and has given the valua-
hle museums to the University of
Virginia and Washington aud Lee
University. Tho rector Of the Uni
versisy OF Virginia wished to have a
life-size portrait Of their benefactor,
to be placed in the museum hall
after the donor shall have passed
away, o- when be may have decided
to permit his name to be made pub
lie. Mr.. replied that he was
xn obscure man, and did not wish to
have his name associated with that of
the great Thomas Jefferson, of whom
he was an enthusiastic admircr-he
thought it would SAVIOR Of presump-
tion. He further expressed his in
tcntion to make the museum of the
University of Virginia the most cx-
tcnsive and valuable in America

Monday afternoon two twin chil-
dren Of Peter Small. who resides
at Mountain View, went ont into
the yard to play. Mr.. Small
had started q fire in his field a
short lime before, for the purpose
of burning the ssubble. and the
little toddlers-a boy and girl-not
knowing the danger ventured ont
until they stood in close proximity
to the fire. Finally the flames
spread in their direction, and be-
fore they could realize their terrible
position. the cruel element threat
ened to envelop them. The boy,
by rare good fortune, managed to
escape. but the little Katy. be-
wildered in her terror, remained
passive. and when her father ar
rived few moments later, having
been notified OF the danger by the
boy, she was past recovery. Burnt
almost beyond recognition. she yet
smiled and essayed to open her lips
when her father bent over her. aud
then expired. The sad event cast q
gloom over tine entire community.

There is in Arizona q tarantula
whose sixe varies from that of =
silver dollar to the palm of the hand,
and whose bite is more poisonous
than that of the rattlesnake. A man
living there was recently bitten by
one, and though prussic acid and
ammonia were injected into his
system through the wound, and he
was hcrnica!ly dosed with mixture
OF lard oil aud brandy and kept Nm
conscious for more than forty hours,
it was thought at one time that he
could not possibly recover. Biis'ers
came out all over his body, but he
was gwen at last alcohol and kept
drunk for six days, at the end of
which time. between the remedy and
the disease, he was nearly dead, but
eventually got well.

Death in a Sleeping Car.

The following are particulars of the
burning Of a sleeping car on the Har-
lem Railroad Extension, Wednes day
night by which Mr. Bissel, proprietor
of the Sherman House, Chicago, and
his son, perished in the flames. Ten
other passengers are reported as hav-
ing been badly burned; the accident
was caused by the car running off a
broken rail, and the upsetting OF the
car. which then took fire.
Interviews with passengers showed
that the terrible calamity happened
at midnight near Wallingford. The
train was composed of an engine, bag
gage car, one passenger car and a
Wagner sleeping car. There were
ten passengers in the sleeping car
which was thrown from the track by
broken rail, upset, rolled down an EN-
bankment and caught FIRE, and Mr.
Bissels son, aged II, was in the

A MAN KILLED BY MOUSE
An extraordinary occurrence was
brought to light at an inquest held on
the body of a man in South London.
In work-room where many young
girls were at work small mouse sud
denly made its appearance on table,
causing, Of course, considerable COM
motion and general stampede. The
intruder was soized, however, by "a
young man who happened to be pres
ent. but the mouse slipped out of his
hand, and running up his sleeve, came
out between his waistcoat and shirt at
the neck. The unfortunate man had
his mouth open. and the mouse On the
lookout for some convenient place Of
concealment, entered the mau's mouth,
and he, in his fright and surprise
swallowed it. That mouse can ex-
ist for considerable time without much
air has long been popular belief, and
was unfortunately proved to be fact
In the present instance, for the mouse
began to bite and tear inside the mans
chest, and the result was that the nn-
fortunate fellow died after little
time In horrible agony. Several wit
nesses corroborated the above facts.
and medical testimony as to the cause
of death hav ng been given, verd let
OF 'saccldental death" was returned

Incidents In India.

On the 2Sth of December there was
a levee at Government House that was
terribly crowded. On the Goth, the
Prince visited Scindia, who did the
honors royalty, and as the Prince took
his seat made salaam with his hands
clasped together before he sat down
on his left. Of the famous maharrah,
DR.. Russell says: "He can handle a
division Of the three arms better than
most, and as we'll as any Division Gen
eral named in Hart AS horseman
he is not to be cxcelled for lightness
Of hand and frmness of seat He
could not, perhaps, 60 across country
in the first fight at the very outset,
but he can lift horse to stand on its
hind legs so bolt upright that hair
trigger touch on the bill would throw
it over on its back; and sitting so bal
anced to hair, make it walk on its
hiud legs in an attitude the maddest
equestrian of the circus would not ad-
venture to urge his steed to emulate.
He is rough they say, in speech, but
that his sentiments are noble enough
may be inferred from it's answer when
the Bombay Government desired to
buy from him site for the palace at
Gunesh Khind, near Poonah The
land belonged to his father, and Scin-
dia was a native Of the place. "A
man, said he, 'does not sell his patri-
mony; but he can give it to his friend"
On his return the Prince attended
the races.
The 30th was blank day. On the
3lst, besides making some minor visits
the Prince ''assisted att grand exhi-
bition OF horsemanship by the troopers
of the Tenth native cavalry. Indian
tent pegs are larger, longer, and stick
deeper than those used in tent-peg-
ging in England. The troopers dash
ed full gallop one after the other at
the pegs, which were replaced as fast
as they we're drawn. Then rupees
were put on the tent pegs TO be knock
ed off by the lance point without
touching the peg. That was done
better and oftener than the succeed
ing exercise Of cutting or spearing
oranges on the tent-peg tops. Hand
kerchiefs were laid on the ground, and
the troopers riding hard made sweors
at them, and missed or caught them
up. One managed to takei three in
succession in the same gallop there
were exhibitions Of horsemanship
which might be described as of cir
Gus character, but for this difference
the horses were not ridden at a reg
ulation stride, at skillfully adjusted
angle, but were ridden boldly about
on the hard plain, and everything vas
done by hand, bit and balauce.-Dr
Russell IN the London Times.

YESTERDAY afternoon delicate
and difficult surgical operation was
performed at the Medical College, in
illustration Of the theory of transfu-
sion Of blood The operation took
place under the direction of Professor
Mason, teacher of physiology, and was
witnessed by the entire Faculty, the
students, and large number of other
persons.
Two dogs were secured, one little
larger than the other. They were
both placed under the influence of
ether and rendered insensibIe. One
end of thin rubber tube, filled with
bicarbonate of soda to keep the blood
from coagulating, was then inserted
into the carotid artery Of dog No. /,
the larger one. and the other end into
the jugular vein Of dog No. 2. The
tube vas securely fastened, so that
there was no danger of its slipping.
A vein was then opened in the latter
and then all the blood run off until
respiration ceased, and the dog was to
all inten1s and purposes dead.
BY the aid OF an air pump artificial
respiration was kept up in the body,
and the blood turned on through the
tube from dog No. l. In few min
utcs, after about 4 ounces of blood had
been transferred into the carcass
Of the dog he began to breathe.
His respiration gradually returned,
and in short time was nearly as
strong as before the operation. But

Washington, Aug. 14.-President
Grant came to the capitol at o to-
uay, ~eserapanied by the Attorney Gen.
eral, Secretary of the Treasury and
Secretary of the Interior, and his pri-
vate secretaries. They remained in the
Presidents room during the day for the
examination and approval or disap-
prevail of bills.
Another Deadlock Imminent.
The House committee on post offices
and post roads took no action to-day on
the post route bill, which was referred
to them on Saturday. The bill was
amended in the Senate by adding the
fast mail and franking provisos to it,
and it is understood that the House
will non-concur in the amendments.
This is indicated by the action of the
House.in referring the bill to this COM
mittee, which will not be called again
this session to report, and q single OBJ
lection will prevent them from report
ing.
The Total Sacings.
The appropriation bills as finally
passed, make a gross reduction of about
twenty-nine and q half millions below
last year.
Democratic Legislation.
More than four thousand bills have
been introduced in the House during
this session, the great majority Of them
being for private claims against the
government. II the Democrats come
into power they will undoubtedly de-
mand many more southern claims-such
as the refunding of the cotton tax, pay
ment for emancipated slaves, ETC.
amounting to untold millions.
Political Reports from Indiana.
Mr.. Morton returned from Indiana
last night, and reports that the Repub-
licans will carry the state by a large
majority. Landers will be defeated in
the indianapolis district and there are
fair prospects of defeating Judge Hol-
man.
The Prospect.
A number of measures that have
passed one branch of Congress will re-

The Wheeler Expedition.
The detachments of the Wheeler ex-
petition are leaving here daily for the
field. This work of exploration and
survey west Of the Tooth meridian will
be carried on during the remainder Of
the year in New Mexico, Colorado, Ne
vada and California. The sections of
country to be explored are contiguous
to the finished territory surveyed by
this body or by Clarence King in previ-
Gus years, and the ~triangulation will be
an extension of the systems already
completed, to which it will be joined.
There will be two points of rendezvous
and outft-Carson City, New, and
west Las Animas, Colorado. At these
places the executive and scientific mem
bers of the survey, some fifty in num-
Der, Ire now gathering, and at these
points of outfit the expedition will re-
ceive numerous additions in the person
Of guides, packers, military escort, etc.
Seven working parties will lake the
field, it having been found that the
work can be most vigorously carried on
by small corps Of eight or ten persons
each.
