FIFTEEN YEARS OF LIFE 4 BLANK.-In
a plain bat neat little story-and-a-half white
house, 14g Townsend street, Syracuse, New
York, lives German girl named Amelia
HoSch, who passed her 26th birthday on the
18th Of January last. The greater part of
her Iife-fuIly fifteen years-has been a
blank. In her childhood Amelia was consid-
cred an unusually bright girl. She early
learned to read and write both English and
German, aud could play the piano with con
siderable skill. When between ten and
eleven years OF age she was attacked with
fever and ague. This soon developed into
hysterical fits and in few weeks the girl
lost her reason. Her power Of speech left
her, and her limbs refused to support heT.
She became n helpless imbecile, and did not
leave her bed except when lifted from it
From four to eight times a night and from
two to six times n day she was seized with
the most violent paroXysms. Many times it
was thought that she was drawing her last
breath. Medicines of every kind were tried,
but without effect. In March, 1879, Dr. A.
II. Tankie visited the Girl and made a dag
nosis of her case. lie combined a prcpaIa-
tion of his own with one obtained from Il
professor in Columbia College, New York
The second night after Amelia began taking
the preparation she slept all night, something
she had not done before in fifteen years. She
began to increase in flesh, and in June utter
ed the first words that she had spoken since
she was attacked. Gradually her powers Of
speech returned, and with it her memory
. The period of her mental slumber is a blank
and She is more of child than woman
except in years She tells of what She saw
/ in her childhood. and sings the songs she
I used to sing in her Sunday school. Although
she has received no instruction since her re-
coyery, she can read, write, figure and do
everything that she did before she lost her
reason. When asked about her illness she
looks at the questioncr in a wondering way
she knows nothing about it. She row
weighs about I4O pounds-nearly twice as
much as she did before she began taking the
preparation. She is a strong, healthy looking
Young woman. She articulates rather SLOW
ly, but her replies are prompt and correct
While talking with the correspondent, she
said Il know everything l used to know.
She likes To talk, and embraces every oppor-
tunity to converse that is offered. The case
eXcites the wonder OF physicians and a great
many have called to see the girl.

\ RoNANTIC FACT.-In one of the incur
sions of Indians upon the frontier settlements
of Pennsylvania during the Revolution very
romantic incident occurred.
The celebrated chief, Cornplanter made an
attack upon the neighborhood of Fort Plain,
burning and destroying and among the pris-
oners he captured was one John Abel, an
old inhabitant.
The party had travelled but few miles on
their return, when it was discovered that this
Abel was almost as well acquainted with
their language as the Indians themselves.
The fact interested the chief, and on inquir-
ing of his captive his name, CoTEplantcr
knew at once that he stood before his own
father.
Abel, twenty. five years before had been a
trader among the Indians of western New
York, and on one of his visits became enam-
ored of pretty squaw, and the result of this
affection was the great and celebrated war
rior, whom the father now for the first time
saw standing before him.
The chief had learned from his mother the
history of his parentage, and his father
name. The meeting was certainly extraOr
dinary to a degree. The young chief held
out strong inducements to his white father t.
accompany him to his tribe, but paternal af
fection did not seem 50 strong in the heart oi
Abel as his love for the comforts and luxu
ries of a white mans home, and so Inc choos,
rather to be set at liberty and be returned tc
bis friends. This was yielded, and he wa:
conducted in honor back to the settlement
Thus siIgalaIly met and parted tie iatie4
and son.

MR.. EDMUNDS ON THE
REBEL CLAIMS.

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, has
sent the following letter to the editor of
the Mason (Mich.) NesOs, whose editor
had forwarded to him copy of demo-
cratic paper containing structures upon
one of his speeches during the late State
campaign:
BURLINGTON, Vt, Aug. 80. 1880.
To Y j. Tett, Esq. Mason, Mech:
DEAR S1R.-Yours of the 18th came
just as I was going out of town. | fear
the editor of the Grand Rapids Democrat
is not very hungry to find out exactly
what the fourth section of the fourteenth
amendment covers in point of law. The
rebel claims referred to are not claims Of
rebels for aiding the rebellion. but for
property, amounting altogether to hun
dreds and probably thousands of millions,
taken or destroyed by armies of the
United States, and therefore the moment
the test of loyalty of any claimant is
repealed, the claim of the rebel stands
exactly like the claim of any other
citizen against the government on
account of its action, and not on account
of the action of the rebel authorities.
The democrats in Congress have tried
time after time to repeal this distinction
in respect of claims of loyal and disloyal
persons, and they have bills now pend.
ing in the Senate to effect that object,
and they will effect it by solid or
nearly solid democratic vote the moment
they get possession of all the depart
ments of the government. AS to rebel
pensions the editor of the Democrat, if
he will reflect little, will, | am sure.
agree that a pension does not in any
case fall within the description Of ''any
debt or obligation" and if SO, it is not
within the prohibition of the fourteenth
amendment. A pension is and always
has been granted upon the ground Of
bounty or gratitude, and not of Legal
obligation. 1t is perfectly clear, there.
fore. that the constitution does not stand
in the way of Congress pensioning every
rebel soldier or soldiers widow and
children, or, indeed, every other rebel
| if 1t pleases. | will not reciprocate the
epithets of this worthy editor.
Very truly yours.
GEORGE T. EDMUNDs.
