POWER OF THE EYE.

A story is told Of Van Amburgh, the
great lion tanner, now dead: On one oc-
casion, while in q bar-room, he was asst
ed how he got his wonderful power over
animals. He said: 'It is by showing
them that | am not the least AFRAID Oh
them. I'll give you an example OF inc
power of my eye" Pointing to q lout'sh
fellow who was sitting near by, he sad !:
"You see that fellow! He's n regular
clown. I'll make him come across the
room to me, and won't say word to
him." Sitting down, he fixed his keell'
steady eye on the man Presently the
fellow got up and came slowly across u
the lion tanner. When he got, clost
enough. he drew back and struck Nar
Amburgh a tremendous blow under tn
chin. knocking him clear over the char
with the remark: s'Youll stare at M
like that again, won't YOU"

The Confederate Funds.

General George G.. Dibrell, of Tennes-
see, who commanded Jefferson Davis mil
itary escort on his flight southwark after
Gen. Lees surrender, has published let
ter, in which he ridicules the recent state
ment of an officer Of Michigan regiment
that Mr.. Davis had 1000 of gold in his
saddle bags when captured. General Di-
brell says that the specie, which was car
ried by a train of four wagons and amounted
to $1OS,0OO, was paid to the troops at
Washington, Ga, by order Of General
Breckenridge. The money was made over
by Major E. G. White, the senior quarter
master present, and each officer and soldier
received the sameamount-$26.2 Gensr-
al: Dibrell adds Major White, otter the
payments we're all made. handed me re-
port in writing Of the amount received by
him and the payments made to each com
mand, showing how he had disbursed the
sos. GOO. This report brought home
with me, but have lost or mislaid it. Ma
ior White was citizen Of Ann Arundel
county, Nd, but Of late have been un-
able to learn his address.

A Bonanza Boy.

A letter from the Katts-K Kills says:
"Among the very biggest Of the many great
lions here is James g. Fair, Jr.. son Of
Senator Fair Of Nevada, the bonanza king.
This heir to millions" is q youth Of 10 or
20, has q rather unprepossessing face, .
large frame, and the independent manner
SO common to western men. Heis accom-
panied by William 81. 81. Brown, young
gentleman Of Philadelphia, who is em-
Ployed as young Thayer's tutor. to prepare
him for the approaching examination for
admission to Yale college. Ihayer and his
preceptor, SO far as appearance indicate,
are not working SO hard over their books as
to endanger their health, and, SO far as I
can see, the $500 per month and expenses.
which the hotel gossips say Mr. Brown re-
ceives from the senator for bringing the
sons education up to the required standard,
will result in a thorough. knowledge Of bill
lizards, pool, Irritation and dancing rather
than in a complete understanding Of Greek
roots and q thorough familiarity with Latin
verbs.

Garibaldi.

A correspondent Of the New York Mail
thus describes the present appearance of
Garibaldi: u never in all my life beheld
being SO deathlike. IF I had not seen his
lips and eyes move should have believed
him to be dead. His face was absolutely
livid, the yellow-w white Of corpse, and his
hair and beard are perfectly white. His
eyes, however, retain fire. and move about
from side to side, following people around
the room, without. however, his changing
his attitude in the least degree. The ex-
preston Of his countonance is one of pro-
found sadness, not unmingled With great
sweetness" At the close of d conversation
with him, the old hero said, If you have
the chance, pray you tell the English and
the Americans that old Gaubaldi, worn and
weary, remembers their generous sympathy,
and still loves them dearly"

iast nouced the growing change; as he gazed
upon her face he saw death cold, hor.
rible death!
She saw the horror in his eyes, and
quickly read his meaning.
Oh, Leopold, ana dying! Don't let me
die. darling! I want to live for you'll"
He drew his face to hers, and kissed her
poor, thin lips.
Save me, Leopold, Save mel must NOT
die Il cannot die! have found you now.
Leopold, want to live!'
He soothed her, although his tears flowed
quickly; he soothed her with trembling
hand and broken voice.
You love me. darlinR?"
He kissed her lips. She threw her arms
round his neck.
And thus lip to lip, with perfect love for
one another in their hearts, they parted.
He to dwell in the world and bear his sor-
row for evermore. And slle-ah, / her poor,
erring spirit had winged its flight to more
merclful world than this-a more beautiful
world than this-to world where laws are
love and tears are never kAown.
Up to lip, SO they parted. Parted, yes,
forever forever until the great hereafter.

She whispers on answer and is clasped in

thankfulness illumines her face.

An Eastern tourist in Nevada had been
spinning some incredible fish yarns, when
one OF the party, turning to an old noun
taineer, said: ''Bill, that gets away with

don't know about that do you mean to

big fellers. Come, now, tell us the weight
of the largest trout you ever caught?" Wal,

over 200 miles around this yer lake. Put that

after landed him the lake fell three feet,

The papers have said SO much about

of the fact that would not appear to adj

criticise faults over which have no con-

gestures, anything you will, only please
don't allude to nv limbs" Long ago We
advised newspaper men to keep their hands
off this subject. and to attend strictly to
Mary's voice and gestures. We do not care
if her legs are like corrugated copper light

her art is what touches us. Her soulful

cold.
The blood sent to the brain is not only
diminished in quantity, but it is laden
with carbonic acid gas, which, acting on
the nerve centers, produces gradual be-
numbing Of the cerebral ganglia, thereby
destroying both consciousness and sensa-
ton. The patient gradually sinks into
deeper stupor, the lips become purple, the
face cold and ivid, cold perspiration (death
damp collects on the forehead, a film
creeps over the cornea, and, with or with
out commissions, the dying man sinks into
his last sleep. As the pc Her of receiving
conscious impressions is gone, the death
struggle must be automatic. Even in
those cases where the senses are retained
to the last, the mind is usually calm and
collected, and the body free from pain.
II had strength to hold pen, would
write how easy and delightful it is to die!"
were the last words of the celebrated sur
Reon. William Hunter; and Louis XIV is
recorded as saying with his last breath: II
thought dying had been more difficult"
That the painlessness Of death is due to
some benuAblng influence actinRIon the
sensory nerves may be inferred from the
fact that untoward external surroundings
rarely trouble the dying.

fort YOU to know that though sight and
sound have gone, yet there is one thing
that links the worlds together-and memory
Chat binds the mortal to the immortal! For
love that is stronger than life shall be
stronger than death, and, passing on, shall
look upon death--the love that came to us
from without, and shall pass out with us
into that which ever has been and shall be,
unto which no end is. Through
all the long days which followed was
with him, through allhis lonely hours and
passionate grief. I stood by him when he
slept, and whispered loving words into
his ears. and he heard them and was COM
footed. And we travelled back together
along the dream road to all that had been
in the far-off time, and the remembrance
of old, sweet days came before his sleeping
eyes; but things were not as we had felt
them, but shaped themselves differently,
and wore strange and terrible faces that
made him start from his sleep and louk
around the dark room, half fearing, half
wondering, and he saw, not me standing
beside him, but only the black hopel ess-5
ness Of the night. Or would say strange
words to Linn as he slept-words that in life
had never said, so that he might know
there was a meeting time yet to come, for
of that dared not speak; but he would not
hear them.
''Come to me in my waking hours" he
cried, and would make SO sign, no re-
Spouse. It is only in dreams that the dead
have power over the living, for theirs is the
land Of which the living see only ftful
CLEANS in their sleepa land where, to the
living, all seems. and nothing is, and Moth
ing earthly has an abiding place. It is.
