Gov. Martranlt Frustrated,

The Philadelphia "Times," of Monday,
says: Late on Saturday afternoon Gov.
Hartranft, while promenading ON Broad
street, near Chestnut, was prostrated by
the extreme heat. The Governor has a gi-
ant constitution, but old Sol was too stropg
for the man, who on twenty battlefields
defied the thunderbolts of the cream of the
rebel army. The prostrAted Executive was
carried into the headquarters of Gen. Jas.
Latta, Adjutant General Of Pennsylvania,
and by the prompt administration Of stimu-
lants was restored to consciousness. 1t was
far into the night before the chief surgeon
of the Governors staff permitted the dis
tinguished victim of the heat to be removed
to his headquarters,

Ihe Early History Of Surah Bern
hardt.
[From the Lcndon Examiuer.1


Some interesting facts have been brought
to light by NJ. Frapcisque Sarcey, concern
ing Lhe historyof Mile. Sarah Bernhardt the
celebrated French actress. They form quite
drama in themselves. The story begins
with the arrest OF two young girls in Paris,
the one about fifteen the other her Junior
that they had been found in the Palais Roy
al, occupying chairs without being able to
pay the usual sou, and that they had
laughed at the chairkeeper when asked for
che money. Upon examination it was found
that they had run away from Amsterdam,
and had arrived in Paris the same morning.
They were sisters, they belong, 4 to fam
lily Of Jewish origin and their name was
Bernhard.
Two months after this event the younger
OF the sisters, not fourteen years old, brought
Sarah Bernhardt into the world. Nothing
was known of the father Of the actress, who
died young, except that 1t was his wish
That his child should embrace the christian
religion. She was acc ollingly placed In u
convent at Grandchamp, near Versailles,
where she received her education. Here
she seems to have led the good sisters
pretty dance, for we find her being four
times expelled on account of her escapades,
ana as often rcadmitted.
At this early date she manifested that
mysterious power over others which has So
distinguished her later years; and one of
the nuns, with warped but prophetic vi
sion, was wont to say that this strange
child was destined eilherto become either
great light in religion or the greatest child
Of sin that the church ever anathematised.
Upon leaving the convent the girl was
heard to say,"I will be religieuse, ,uuless,"
she added, IL become an actress"
