Funeral Of Geo. +. stahI.

San Antonio Express, l2th.l
Yesterday evening at 4 o'clock a
large number of the friends and ac-
quaintances Of the late Geo. Il. Stahl
gathered at the residence of his wife.
on avenue c, out of respect to the
memory of the deceased, and to assist
in performing the last sad rites to the
deceased. Rev. j, w. Neil read ar
propriate passages from the scriptures.
touching upon the resurrection of the
dead, and gave a brief sketch of the
life of the deceased. Geo. +. Stahl.
said the preacher, was born in Vim
cennes, Ind, in the year 1871, and in
his childhood moved with his parents
to Quincy, ILL.,, where he lived until
he arrived at the usual age when
American young men begin their
collegiate courses, when he went to
Harvard University. After he finish
ed his course at Harvard, he spent
three years in Europe at the schools
Of Leipsig and Genoa. Educated
thus at the best universities of this
country and Europe, his was a cul-
ture broad and deep that furnished
a foundation upon which in after years
he began to ear a superstructure
of learning and generous deeds that
entities him to the appellation of one
Of natures noblemen, After his re.
turn from Europe, the deceased
located in Memphis, Tenn, and began
the practice of law, for which he had
so thoroughly qualified himself. and
for which, on account of his broad
culture, his liberal nature and his
generous soul, he was so well fitted
After a successful practice of nine
years in Memphis he was influenced
in April, 1879, by reason of fajlinc
health, to come to our own genial
cline. And here for four Years he
had moved among us with a miet
modesty that amounted almost to Sc
cluslon, %endearing himself to MS by
his kind demeanor and his ways of
winning, and we had begun to hone
that for many years would he be shared
to us and the world. But this was not
to be so: A few days ago he was
stricken down with disease, and nighf
before last his spirit went out and he
slept the wakeless sleep.
Mr.. Neil, in a tone of earnestnesS
and with a voice all trembling with
emotion, appealed to his hearers not 70
put OF the preparation for meetino
their God until they lay down unoS
their death beds, but to accent soE
ton now while in the bloom and yicor
OF health. After he closed his re-.
marks, the minister offered up an
earnest prayer, and then the remain
were taken to the cemetery and loid
away, amid tho tears Of weon;na
friends, and the cries and sobs of tbe
his ashes. '"'o 70

The Milk Of the Cow Tree.

Alexander Humboldt remarks that
among the many very wonderful natural
phenomena which he had during his ex-
tensive travels witnessed, none inn
pressed him in more remarkable de-
gree than the sight of a tree yielding an
abundant supply of milk, the properties
of which seemed toibe the same as the
milk of wcow:Fhe adult Indians
would 20 each morning with their slaves
from the village or station on the slope
of the mountain chain bordering on
Venezuela, where Humboldt was stop
ping, to forest where they grew and,
making some deep incisions into the
trees, in less than two hours their YES
sells, placed under these incisions, would
be full. All present would then partake
of the milk, on which the slaves grew
fat, and quantity would be carried
home to be given to the children and to
be mixed with cassava and maise. The
tree itself attains height OF from forty
five feet to sixty feet, has long alternate,
leaves, and was described by Linden as
Brosinsatns galdctodesadron. The milk
which flows from any wound made in
the trunk is white and somewhat
viscid; the flavor is very agreea-
BILE. Some time ago, on the occa-
sion of M. Boussingault going to South
America, Humboldt requested him to
take every opportunity of investigating
this subject. At Maracay the tree was
first met with, and for more than a
month its excellent qualities were daily
tested in connection with coffee and
chocolate; but there was no opportunity
for q chemical analysis. Nor does such
appear to have occurred till the other
day when,, amid the many curious
things exhibited by the Venezuelan Gov
ernment at the Paris Exposition, there
happened to be several TASKS of this
milk, and after long period NJ. Bous-
singault has been enabled to complete
his analysis Of this substance which is
unique in the vegetable world. In .
memoir laid before the Academy of
France he gives detailed analysis, and
concludes by stating that this vegetable
milk most certainly approaches in its
composition to the milk of the COW; it
contains not only fatty matter, but'also
sugar, caseine, and phosphates. But
the relative proportion Of these sub
stances is greatly in favor Of the vege-
table milk, and brings it'll to the rich
ness of cream, the amount of butter In
cream being about the same proportion
as the peculiar waxy material found in
the vegetable milk, a fact that will
readily account for its great nutritive
powers. r5,f,frszf IS s+ssfa,tt.sf Hs.rif l.

young people returned from their jour-
ney, but were so tired, and had so much
to tell of the good times they had en-
joyed, that they could not possibly let
Jennie go that week, and she was quite
happy to remain till they could spare
her. When she went to Dorchester, on
her visit, it was for a bridal trip, and
George Hartwell rode beside her having
fully persuaded her that q m-house
can be as delightful home as any on
earth; but she is very positive that he
would never have persuaded her, had
not his mother given her actual demon
stration of the Country Gentle

Minute Writing.

DR.. William E. Scott, an eminent
physician of Buffalo, N. Y, who died a
few days ago, had carried cthe art of
minute writing to degree of remarka-
BILE perfection. The Courier says his
work is the most extraordinary speci-
mems of nerve power ever shown. Some
of his writings contain 225 lines to the
inch, and he demonstrated that the BIZ
BILE might be written on single sheet
of paper. At the age of 70 he became
conscious of decaying power of vision.
Being professionally q physician and
naturally philosopher, he conceived
the idea that the eye might be improved
by what he denominated series of ocu-
lar ssgymnastics. He therefore un-
dertook to exercise his eyes upon the
formation of minute letters-working
upon them until the organs of sight be-
gan to be weary, and then, like pru-
dent man, resting for hours. BY pro-
crossing slowly and carefully. he be-
came at last able to do wonders in the
way of fine writing, and also became
able to read the newspapers without
! glasses. At the age of Il DR.. Scott
wrote upon an enameled card with a
stile, on space exactly equal to Scent
piece, the Lords Prayer, the Apostles
Greed, the parable Of the Ten Virgins,
the parable of the rich man and Laza-
rus, the beatitudes, the 18th Pslanl, the
12Oth Psalm, the 1850 Psalm, the 131st
Psalm, and the figures 1860. Every
word, every letter, and every point Of
all these passages was written exquis-
itely on this minute space; and that old
man not only saw every mark he made,
but had the delicacy Of muscular action
and steadiness of nerve to form the let-
tersiso beautifully that they abide the test
Of the highest magnifying power. They
were, of course, written BY microscopic

A PRINCES MARRIAGE IN OREGON.
The Fortunes of a Leader in the Austrian

The Fortunes of Leader in the Austrian
Revolution Of 1848.
From the Oregon Deutsch Zeitung.I
A few days ago the Oregopian con-
tanned list of marriages during the
year, and among them appeared the fol-
lowing notice: "Dec. 13.-Prince G.
J. Nadasky and Marie Won Reiche."
The odity of titled wedding in Ore
gon led our reporter to investigate, and
here follows the true story: Prince
Carl Johann Nadasky, sole heir of q
wealthy and influential Austrian family
and long line of illustrious ancestors,
was, during the revolutionary war of
1848, a young officer in the Imperial
Austrian Guard. When sentence of
death was passed on Robert Blum, the
famous revolutionary leader, and ia
vorite of the German people, the young
officer was detailed to command the de-
tachment of soldiers whose bullets were
to terminate the life of the noblest and
bravest man of his age. The fortitude
Blum displayed at the execution, and
his parting words SO impressed the
young soldier, that few months study
of the liberal publications of those days
suficed to lead him into the revolution
ary army. But the feudal Government
triumphed, and Prince Nadasky, to-
gether with many other prominent
leaders, was taken prisoner and con-
demned to death. Through the influ-
ence of his relatives his sentance was
commuted to Imprisonment for life, and
he was sent to the dark tolls of an Aus
trian fortress.
Eight long years the Prince lived the
life of a convict, until at the birth of the
Crown Prince of Austria he was iberat-
ed, but banished from his country for
life. He came to San Francisco and
devoted himself, under the assumed
name of H. Meier, to the business of
flower gardener, earning a livelihood
and accumulating a small fortune.
About five years ago he was married to
| German lady of noble birth, who was
impressed with the cultured and gentle
manly demeanor of the gardener. Not
more than a year past he removed to
Salem in this State, and bought small
property for his business. But the hap
py pair had been blessed with lovely
boy, and the father found no resi- in the
thought that his dear ones were destin.
ed to lead an obscure life, away from
the honors and luxury due them, and
took passage for Europe. He went tc
Vienna, and in an audience with EN-.
peror Francis Joseph succeeded in OBJ.
tanning his pardon and being reinstated
into his ancestral inheritence. Pos
haste he sped back to his family, and
under his real name he was again mar
ried in this city to his faithful wife. The
steamer Idaho, which left here Dec. 20
took the happy couple and their young
son back to the castles of the Prince il
the beautiful mountain regions of AMI
tria.
