= @At=ANA tAeNtA
On Sunday morning a woman ar
rived at Calvert Station, on the Chi
cago express who, it was discovered,
was unable to walk. Officer Deaner,
who was near by, hearing that the
woman was not only helpless, but
had no place to go, had her removed
to the City Hospital Or. Thomas,
upon examination, found the woman
speeehless and paralyzed in her lower
limbs, besides suffering from other
troubles. The woman is progresses
ing in appearance and attractive in
manner. A wealth of black hair
was combed straight back from a
very high forehead; dark brown eyes,
shaded by very long lashes, decia-
eddy Roman nose and a firm, reso-
lutte mounth completed face on
which intellectually was stamped
in every feature. She can hear dis
tinctly every word uttered, but has
to resort to a pencil TO reply, which
she uses very rapidly. She is only IS
years. When asked about herself
she wrote the following pathetic
story: my maiden name was Es-
tella Russell. | was adopted when
two weeks old 10y a family of that
name, then residing at No. 234 South
Eutaw street; but oil of them, as |
learn, died some years ago. / lived
with this family until | attained my
fifteenth year, when | became ac-
tainted with Walter Lawrence, u
young lawyer of st. Paul, Mimi,
and after short courtship we were
married, and went to reside at st.
Paul, where my husband practiced
his profession until year ago, when
he died, leaving me helpless and with
but little means. Three months be-
fore the death of my husband | was
paralyZed, as you see now, becoming
a burden to everybody ! was the
mother of five children, all Of whom
are buried. After the death of my
husband spent nearly all the money
| had trying to get cured, but to nc
purpose. Finding that my means
had given out, | applied to the city
authorities for aid, which they re
fused me, and advised me togo home
to my native city Baltimore), ano
the authorities here would allow me
to enter the hospital She is al
present at the hospital, where every
thing possible is being done for hel
comfort. She will remain there UNI
Til some permanent abode shall bt
provided for her. The case appeals
very strongly to the charitable. L
will be remembered that The Aneri
can, short time since, noticed the
receipt of letter by Mayor White
from a physician in st. Paul, asking
if any information could be had Of
woman named Russell or Lawrence
In that letter were stated facts
which corroborate the woman''
statement at the hospital that she
had been refused the charity of
community where she had resided
thirteen years, and where her hus-
band had been a worthy citizen.

The copper mines now worked In
Michigan on the shores of Lake SUI
perior, are situated on the workings
of that interesting race, the copper
miners of Lake Superior. Their ex-
cavations can be readily traced to a
depth of from ten to twenty feet in
the solid rock. Their pits, on the
Isle Royale alone cover an area Of
more than u mile and a half in
length. Their hammers are found
frequently in large heaps Although
they carried away an enormous guam
tity Of copper, and must have work
ed through many years, yet they
seem never to have known that cop
per could be smelted, for they left all
fragments too heavy to use, and the
masses too heavy to lift, and no
traces of the action Of fire have ever
been discovered. Some Cornish
miners working recently in the old
mines, cut down dead cedar. AS
they were hewing it out small but
perfectly formed hammer dropped
from the tree. The tree was found
to be nearly $50 years old, and has
been dead for hundreds Of years.
How curious it is that the Cornish
miners have come from the East to
continue the work Of departed
tsiatic race who came from the
West at period far back in the dis
tant and shadoWY past !-EG.

OH! the Mighty Voice.

Homer says Of Ulysses, one OF the Greek heroes
in the great Trojan war: "You had thought him
fool, 80 siiiy he held his sceptre, and 50 down
cast were his eyes; but as soon as he began to
speak-oh, the mighty voice, and the words thick
as the falling snow" Looking at = bottle OF Hunts

Garibaldi,s COurtsIlip.

Disappointed in his hopes of accomplishing
great things for liberty in South America, sad
dened by the death aud Imprisonment OF his
companions, and weary with his personal suffer-
ings, Garibaldi was standing one day on the
deck of his ship, when, among the women who
came to the shore for water, one suddenly
attracted his notice. II gave ORDERS" says he,

He is avenged-avenged indeed! And l &C

Scorpions.

From the London Field
1t is wonderful that one doesn't hear Of more
stings, considering how abundant these pernicl-
Gus insects are IN nearly every tropical and sub
tropical country. They are fairly hardy, too, and
will survive much greater degree of cold than
centipedes. One morning, when l had just re-
turned from voyage and was repaciing and
arranging some things in my bedroom at the
hotel in Southampton, a lively, vigorous scor-
pion fell out of a shell upon my bare foot;
luckily it rolled off, and the carpet received the
phatic tap of its tail which was intended as
delicate attention to myself A bath sponge
seems to be their favorite haunt, and
it always behooves one to carefully examine that
article before getting into ones tub In regions
where these little pests abound. l think that
over dozen were killed in my cabin during
one fOrtnight-brOught there, no doubt, in a
box of Espirito Santo orchids from Panama.
Cargoes of coir, bales Of medicinal woods,
punches of bananas, and other fruits and vege-
tables In bulk often introduce them on board
vessels, and in old wooden ships especially they
will remain, and colOnize the bulkheads and in
tersnaces. l got nip once, and only once.
Walking along the main deck of steamer
lying in Rio de JanierO, loading up with coffee
being barefooted and ia the dark, trod as
thought, on piece of glass; but. drawing my
foot up instinctively. felt the tickling OF a
Scorpion feet on my heel. 1t seemed to have
CuIicu up GltcT us tdlI Lie local symptoms
were about equal in intensity to the bite of a
common viper or the sting OF a maribunda;
but with less constitutional arrangement.
the ulcer was long time in healing, however.
There is CHASTITY story told of a gentleman in
India. who, pulling on his boots one morning,
felt a horrid prickly object in one of them With
great presence of mind, instead of withdrawing
it, he forced his foot violently down and stamped
on it furiously, though enduring exquisite agony
in the process. But it was not a centipede, only
small backing brush left there by a careless
servant. The Psyli of Pliny and other histor-
ials, as well as their modern descendants, who
swallow live scorpions, and carry them in their
caps next their shaven crowns. probably deprive
them first Of the means of doing harm, as they
serve the venomous serpents with which they
jugge, by bunting their stings. 1t is, never
theless, very easy to hold a scorpion, and posi-
bly, to handle them freely, when accustomed to
them. See how some people can pull about
wild rats and bees and ferrets without injury,
though taking no apparent precaution. Manipu-
lation Of snakes. too, only requires little OBJ
servance OF their weak points and respect for
their prejudices, which one glides into insensi-
bly, by habit,
