An Eccentric Old Lady.


An old maiden lady, notorious through
out Neither Lusatia for her strange man
ner of living, died the other day at her
schloss, or country house, situate Oh the
right bank of the Spree, between Colt
bus and Spremberg. During the whole
period of her residence upon her estate,
which she had inherited at mn early age,
she had not permitted anything to be
planted upon her lands, or any repairs to
be effected in her huge mansion. Like
Miss Havisham, in "Great Expecta-
tions," she had insisted upon leaving
things Gas they were" for some forty
odd years, and the condition of her es-
tate and dwelling, wheninspeoted by her
legal heirs, Is stated to have been one of
inconceivable decay and ruin. The trees
i'll the park lie rOtting on the ground,
where they had been blown down by
wind-storms, the fields were covered by
rank weed growths, all the waters were
stagnant and putrid, and the bridges
over them were worm eaten wrecks. In
the garrets of this Dusatian "Satis
House" were found large quantities of
decayed grain, many basketfuls of rotten
eggs, and heaps OF decomposed meat. A
thorough search Of the apartments in
which the eccentric old lady had lived
her quaint life of moldy seclusion was
rewarded by the discovery of much gold
and silver coin and large sums in paper
currency crumpled up in corners, mil
dewed, tattered and torn. The estate it.
self, nm extensive and valuable one, is
mtenanted, and has been converted by
systematic neglect into O veritable viii,
derness, upon which it will be necessary
to expend n considerable sum of money
ere it can be rendered productive.

Cayuga Lakes Bottom,

From the Emira IN. W Free Pross.l
Over in ithaca they have begun to
call Lake Cayuga n graveyard that an
swers for nearly the whole of Tompkins
county, graveyard that digs its own
graves. This, because so many within
the past few years have lost their lives
there. A gentleman well known in Ith-
aca has carefully mapped out the bottom
of the lake, and it is not all theory, eth
er. He says it is rough and broken,
that all over it are large cavities or ba.
sins of varying size and depth, and that
around each basin there is IN elevated
ride that completely encircles it, as the
rim of pan encircles that. He does
not doubt that the chest containing the
bodies of Mrs. Ruloff and and child is
to-day in one IF these basins, rs well as
tho anatomy of fully 200 persons who
have been drowned between ithaca and
Ludlowville in the past forty years,
This gentleman, on these grounds, con-
tended that tho body of young Baker,
who was drowned on Sindaya week ago,
would not be recovered. He reported
his discoveries to the persons having in
charge the dragging Of the lake and they
have ceased their operations in that di"
rection. In his examination OF the lake
the gentleman made number of discov-
cries relating to geology and under
ground temperature. The waterthat he
obtained from the depth of 800 feet he
says disengages carbOnic acid and also
nitrogen, sulphuretted hydrogen and a
small quantity of fixed substances, chief
ly. sulphate and carbonates OF potash,
coda, lime and magnesia.

Order No. 40.

Appointed Military Governor Of the
District of Louisiana and Texas in 1867,
Gen. Hancock exhibited his rebel pro-
olivities in the most glazing light. The
law Of Congress under which he was ap-
pointed declared that "the Governments
then existing in the rebel States OF
Louisiana and Texas were not legal
State Governments" But, in assuming
command of the district. Gen., Hancock
utterly ignored this law Of Congress,
declaring, in General Order No. 40, that:
The General commanding IL gratihed to learn
that peace and quiet reign In this department.
II will DO his purpose to preserve this condi.
ton Of things. As means to this great end
he regards the maintenance Of the civil au-
thorties In the faithful execution of the laws
Oh tho most efficient under existing circum-
stances. s... r.r
Commenting upon this extraordinary
order Of Gen. Hancock soon after it was
issued, the late Senator Morton said:
Again he says: "Crimes and offenses COM
nitted In this district must DO referred To the

tribunals, and those tribunals will be supported
In their lawful jurisdiction" Here he abjures
the military power conferred upon him by Con-
gress, recognizes the supremacy Of the bogus
OWL authorities, and declares that no viii sup

ful jurisdiction. And this no says standing upon
ground In New Orleans yet moist with the blood
Of nearly 400 men slaughtered In the presence

How Not TO be Drowned.


Another terrible steamboat slaughter |!
edge of the specific gravity of the human
body would have saved much of this
frightful loss of life. There was loose
wood enough about the boat to have
fioated ten times the number of passen-
gers on the Inflated vessel if it had been
used with judgment. The human body
weighs about pound in the water, and
u single chair will carry two grown per-
sons. That is, it would keep their heads
above water, which is all that is neces-
sary when it is question of life or
death. The burning vessel was close to
shore, the water calm and warm, and
all these passengers might easily have
jumped overheard and padded, laugh
ing, ashore if they had only possessed
and used the simple knowledge that one
finger placed ulon stool on chair. or
q small box, or IL piece of board would
easily keep the head above water, while
the two feet and the other hand might
be used us paddles to propel toward the
shore. 1t ID not ut all necessary to know
how 10 swim to be able to keep from
drowning in this way. A little expert
ence of the buoyant power of water, and
faith in il, is all that is necessary. We
have seen small boy who could not
swim stroke propel himself back and
forth across n deep wide pond by the
means of board that would not sustain
five pounds weight. In fact, that some
time small boy is now writing this. Chill
dren and all others should have practice
in the sustaining power OF water. In
nine cases out of ten the knowledge that
what will sustain pound weight is oil
that is necessary to keep ones head
above water will serve better in emer-
gencies than the greatest experience as
swimmer. Aperson unfamiliar with the
buoyant power of water will naturally
try to climb on top Of the floating OBJ
ject on which he tries to save himself.
If it is large enough, that is all right.
But it is generally not large enough, and
half of struggling gronp is often
drowned in the desperate scramble of q
iife-and-death struggle to climb ON top
of piece of wreck or other floating OBJ
ject, not large enough TO keep them all
entirely above the water. This often
happens when pleasure boats capsize.
All Immediately want to get out of the
water on top Of the overturned or half
filled boat, and are all drowned except
those whom the wrecked craft will
wholly bear up. If they would simply
trust the water to sustain ninety-nine
hundredths Of the weight OF their bodies,
and the disabled boat the other hun
dredth, they might NIL be saved under
most circumstances. An overturned or
water-filled wooden boat will hold more
people in this way than it will carry, II
would keep the heads above water Of as
many men "a could get their hands on
the gunwales. These are simple facts,
easily learned, and may some day save
YOUR life
