ago than last evening veracious friend
of mine, the Count Bertram, was in the
vicinity of the Lido little after mid
night. but by mere chance, and not
with the intention of investigating the
matter. He affrms that he saw the
spirit, the night being clear, and that
his gondola passed within fe rods of
that in which she was silently floating
over the waters"
Padre MIC, responded the youth,
do You think this mysterious being is
really spirit?"
Il have no doubt of it whatever.
But Why said he Enthusiastically,

Firstly, because | know that spirits
can communicate with mortals in the
flesh. Secondly. because spirits, hav-

mortals in the flesh, have also the
power of revealing themselves to NOR
tails in tie flesh. Thirdly, because l

AN INFANT SruNG BY FIFTY BEES
An occurrence took place last week at the
residence of Samuel FL. Steel, Esq, near
Waynesbcro, which was attended with
painful circumstances. Mrs. John d.
Booker, with her little child OF q months
old, was visiting the family of Mr.. Steel.
The little one wandered from the house
unobserved and found it's way to the bee
hives. When first discovered it was roll
ing ON the ground coutending with the
exasperated bees, which had gathered on
its head and neck by handfnls, and the
whole swarm seemed determined to make
lodgment there. At this juncture timely
relief came, and the little sufferer was res.
cued. After the removal of the mass of
bees the stings extracted from the neck,
face and head exceeded fifty. Remedies
were applied Immediately and, however.
excruciating the sufferings, the little fell
low bore it with wonderful fortitude. He
has recovered. Those most active in free
ing the little one from It's trouble received
many wounds in the encounter WayneS-

A. CIRCUS RIDER AND PRINcEss.-
The Princess Salm-Salm, whose name du-
ring the war and at the time of the fall Of
Macmillan was aeeR in the papers as Of
ten as that of Agnes jerks in American
journals six weeks ago, is dead. Her original
name was Agnes lie Clerq, and she was born
in Baltimore, of q Creole family, 1910. She
became circus rider and was s'the pride
of the arena" until she married wealthy
gentleman of New York, whom she subse-
quently left without cause. She went to
Washington, and in 1862. through her
marvellous powers of fascination, became
the wife of Prince Salm-Salm, second son
of Prince William Elorentine m-Salm,
and the brQther Of Prince Alfred, the got
ual head of the once sovereign family OF
that name. Her husband was with Maxi
milan in Mexico, and when the downfall
came, it was only through the daring he~
re,ism Of his wife that he escaped. In 1870
he was killed =; =. hattie. and she married in
Berlin member of the British = 'ea0atlon,
Mr.. Charles Heneage, who settled secur-
ed annuity of 81 900 a year upon her for
life. She studied medicine, received q d.
ploma, and became directress of camp
hospitals in the Prussian army. just be-
fore her marriage to Mr.. Heneage the
Princess published a very lively and enter
tanning book, entitled ''Ten Years OF My
Life" which reads like a novel.

A Bold Ontrape.

The seizure, robbery, and outraging of
very wealthy and respectable newly-mar-
ried lady, native and resident OF Boston,
has just come to light. She had been on a
visit to some friends in the interior Of this
State, and started home via New York
Central railroad, expecting to reach Alba
ny, where her husband was t., meet her,
towards evening. She changed cars at
Rome, and noticed that two men got On
the train with her and seated themselves
near her, and, by their chances and gest-
ures, seemed to have her under discussion.
There was nothing unprepossessing or
suspicious in the appearance of the men.
They were middle-aged, neatly and sober
ly dressed, and had an air of entire respect
ability. Very soon the cond uctor Of the
drawing-room car came through, and she
was on the point OF paying him the extra
price (she had secured a through ticket,)
when one CT the two men SAID quietly,
do not take that lady's fare. she's in our
charge. We will pay for her," and in
formed the conductor that she was insane,
and they were taking her to the State asy-
1um at Utica. Despite her protestations
and prayers that she was net insane, and
did not know these men, thp conductor
and passengers allowed the will Tins to take
the lady off the train at Utica. Here she
was placed in a carriage, chloroformed and
taken to house on the outsk irts of the
city, where she was outraged and robbed
OF her jewelry, money and wearing apparel
being left almost nude. She had been
richly dressed, and had a good deal Of jew
elry on her person, among other things a
pair OF valuable earrings, containing large
solitaire diamonds, in her ears. The hus-

the part of custodians of his wife, but all

FRIDAY MORNING. AUG. 2. 1878.

The failure of the Conservative con-
yention to meet yesterday takes off the
harness for free scamper, and makes the
chances pretty good for seating the Hon.
John T. Harris for the rest Of this genera
tion. After he gallops through this time
all future opposition will be of the most
painfully uphill character. He'll pick out
all the good parts of the track while his
competitors are hunting for the starting
post. We shall view the race with Gu
riosity, and fairly report the running
thereof.
