ACCORDING to a telegram dated 23rd
NOvbr. from the Danish Consul in Archan-
gel to the Minister of Marine, news had
been had from the ~"Dijmphna' through a
Russian peasant by the name of Babikoff.
On the 23rd of August, old style, Babikoff
left the steamer at a place in the Island of
Vaigatz. The ships company consisted Of
the captain, the doctor, a private person,
and seventeen sailors; they were all well,
and had sufficient provisions. BabikOff is of
Gle opinion that It all events the steamer
must pass the winter at Vaigatz, which
he has also advised the captain to do as he
thought the place safe. BabikOtf brought
many letters and Captain Hovgaard's pho
tOgraph, on which he had written with his
own hand "AI well,n Babikoff took over
two months for his journey Of 800 versts,
as it was through entirely uninhabitod dis
triCts and endless mOraSSeS.
On the 23rd Of last month a murderer by
the name of Anders Nielsen, Sj9llamder, was
beheaded in Lolland. He had committed
the murder in order to rob his victim.
According to our Danish law the execution
is performed publicly and with an axe. In
this instance about 5000 persons witnessed
the execution, which took place on the top
of hill, and they were horrorstricken by
the sight, for the execution was not accom-
plished until three blows of the ace had
been given. The papers therefore advocate
to change the mode Of execution so
that in future it shall be performed by
the guillotine, and not publicly, but
in the prison yard, as is the case for
instance in England, where the falling
of the black flag is the only sign that de-
notes to the public that an execution has
taken place.

Ben Holiday is a feature and

fortune i estimated at from $1,000
900 to S5,000,000, so that it may be
fairly presumed that if he should
prove successful in the prosecution
of his claim for S350,00O he will not

His story of how the famous
Comstook lode was discovered is
interesting. As he tells it, one of
his stage drivers had a prospector's
passion Tor broken rocks, outcrop-
pings, float and other indications of
mineral treasures. On a certain
day he come to Mr.. Holiday full OF
a discovery he had made, and show
ed sample having a wonderfully
large proportion OF silver in its
composition. He made a PROPOSE
ton To sell one-half of his mine to
Mr.. IIolleday for 81 900 for money
with which to operate it. The
offer was refused, and the driver
resigned and disappeared. In a
month or so a company was formed
aud operations were begun. The
mine yielded the richest ore ever
taken ont of any mine up to that
time. Comstock, for that was the
stage drivers name, became sud
denly one of the wealthiest
men in the country. The stock
rose rapidly from hundreds
to thousands OF dollars, and
finally 100000 was paid for a claim
twenty feet across the face of the
lode Next to the Bonanza it was
the richest mine ever dis
covered on the earth. Mr.. Com
stock followed the rule, and from
being one of the richest men soon
became one of the poorest, and

DULlIGRBAT MEN.

Daseartes, the famous mathemati-
clan and philosopher La Fontaine,
celebrated for. bis witty tables, and
Button, the naturalist, were all sin
gulariIy deficient IN the, powers of
conversation. <AIarmontel, the. now
elist, was SO dull in society that his
friend said of him, after an inter
view: Il must 90 and read his
tales in recompense to myself for
the wearriness of hearing him"
AS to Corneille, the greatest drama
fist in France, he was completely
lost in society-so absent and en-
barrassed that he wrote of himself
a witty couplet, importing that he
was never Ineligible but through
the month of another. Wit on pa
per seems to be something widely
different from that play of words in
conversation which, while it spark
les, dies; for Charles III, the wittiest
of monarchs, was so charmed with
the humOr of "Hudibras," that he
caused himself to be introduced in
the character of a private gentle
man to Butler, its author. The
witty king found the author a very
dull companion, and was Of opinion,
with many others, that so stupid a
fellow could never have written so
clever book. Addison was shy
and absent in society, preserving,
even before a single stranger, formal
and dignified silence. In conversa-
sion Dante was taciturn and satirical.
GRAY and Alficri seldom talked or
smiled. Rousseau was remarkably
trIte in conversation not n word OF

A REMARKABLE ENCLDENPOF
THE WAR
Fron the Charlottesville ChrOnicIs

FrOm the Charlottesville ChrOnicls.
A gentleman of our acquaintance
related to US recently an incident OF
the war which was new to us, and
il worthy of record. The farm of a
gentleman named Mclean eonsti-
tuted a part of the field upon which
the first battle of Manassas was
fought on the memorable 2lst of
July, 1861. Believing that the sec
ton of Virginia In which he resided
would be the theater of future con-
flicts, he concluded to seek a more
peaceful location, where he would
not be disturbed by the tramp of
armies and the havoc of battles, and
after mature consideration and care
full search, decided to locate in APP
pOmattOx county. He sold his
farm, purchased a residence at APP
pOmattox Court House, and removed
his family and household effects to
that point, suppOsing himself to be
secure from the invasion of the con-
tending hosts. Four years there
after the remnant of Gen. Lees
army made their last stand at Ap-
pOmattOx Court House, and, strange
10 say, the articles of surrender were
drawn mp and signed in McLean's
house. He had seen the beginning
and the end of the great conflict.
