GROWTH AFTER DEATH.-In the philo-
sophical collections of Mulferus there is an
account of woman buried at Nuremburg,
whose grave being opened forty three years
after her death, hair vas found issuing
through the clefts Of the coffin. When the
cover was removed the whole shape of the
coffin was visible, but was covered, from the
crown Of the head TO the sole Of the foot,
with thick set hair, long and cnrled. The
sexton was about to handle the upper part
of the head when the whole fell apart at
once and nothing remained but handful
OF hair There was neither skull nor any
other bone left, yet the hair was solid and
strong Mr.. Arnold relates the case of a
man who was hanged on the gallows for a
petty theft as was formerly the custom in
England, whose body was covered with
growing hair before it was cut down from
the gallows.

LOSING HIS GRIP.

Several days ago Mr.. Rddleberger and
SIR. John 5 Wise, Of Virginia lin the course Of a
casual calling tour as has been said, dropped in
afternoon This was certainly very innocent
thing for the Virginiaus to do. Mr.. Blaine was no
doubt glad tn see them and there is no reason
to think that the callers We're ashamed
ot il, else they would have kept away.
General Malone. however, seems TO think that
Tor Mr. addlcbcrger and Mr. Wise to have called
on Mg. Blaine wasa very grave otteuce against the
81 called Read ulster party OF Virginia, and 1t is
said that his Indignation was the real cause OF his
sudden return from Old Point Comfort. The
statement is also made that Mr.. Malone has given
them two large pieces of his mind-One each to
Mcssrs. RiGdichcrgcr aud Wise respectively -and
that they have been threatened with being read
ont OF the party, rs it were. Malone has promised
himself-if indeed, be has not promised it to
somebody cse---that Arthur should have solid
delegation from Virginia and his Indignation in
the present instance seems to have arisen from 3
fear that his quontlam allies may have been try
ing to sell him out. The facts of the case, how
ever, arc that Mr.. Blaine's callers had no chance
to talk politics had they been sod5poscd and Mr..
Malone had no reason for his Indignation, unless
the dust Of the sacred soi is too precious to be
dropped the threshold of such straIghout

Especial Correspondence OF the Alexandra Gazette

WASHINGTON. D. G.. April 10, 1854.
A leading and thoroughly posted demo
cratic politician from Mississippi in this city

State to the national democratic convention
will probably be unit for Bayard, but
there will be no heart burning if somebody

SHOOTING; 4 WATERspoUT.-Jn the minds
Of many people the old sea captains tale OF
shooting waterspouts ranks as n pleasing
fiction cotton up for the benefit of land lub-
hers and marines, in the same category
with tho fables in which mermads aud sea
Scrpcrts take star parts. Such suggestion
would be resented with Indignation by Capt.
Bowling, Of the steamship African. Captain
Bowling arrived Wednesday from Baracoa
with a cargo of green bananas. The Atri-
can is il much larger steamer than those
which usually engage in the fruit trade, but
it was not large enough to prevent the cap
tain's trembling when a huge waterspout
was seen bearing down upon il few days
ago. When first noticed the waterspout,
according to the report Of Captain Bowling,
was fully three miles away. a few minutes
later the steamer was staggering under a
white %quall OF furious energy. This only
lasted thirty seconds, but it fairly made
things dance on board the steamer. Top
sails and windSails were torn to tatterS,
loose dishes in the cooks gallery resigned
:h.ir positions and their usetuIncSnesS and
Captain Downing atlirms that the wind
actually lifted the litcboals off of their
.ripcs," whatever these may be. When the
Suual was over the waterspout was seen
less than quarter Of mile away and bear
ing down upon the steamer in most un-
comfortable manner. Captain Bowling had
on board an old twelve-p FOUNDER, which he
caused to be loaded TO the muzzle aud fired
point blank at the neck Of the waterspout.
The conclusion was too much for the column
of wafer, the Captain says, and the huge
volume came down upon the sea with
dull roar that would have done credit to
Niagara. Captain bowling declares that
the fnll Ct this immense mass caused a high
sea for Il defiance of two or three miles
about the spot. There must have been
hundreds of tons of water swept up by the
wind, which he thus restored to the natural
leyel.-N. !. Herald.

SCENE IN THE HOUSE.

In the House of Representatives yesterday MT.

t,,. in stoprips the investigation OF the charges
against Gov. Murray. The man under investigs-
ton had said he was not guilty, ana hau caileu
upon Justice Harlan and Speaker Carlisle to tes-
tify to his coed character. Therenpon the ihVes-
tigation had ceased; aud not only that, put the
committee had proposed to investigate MS WI.
White's) character He reiterated his charges
against Murray, a man whom MIS- hayes u''o "p
pointed rs Governor OF Utah.
Mr. Miller called the gentleman TO order lor
not addressing himself to the bill under CONSIDER
alton Int the House decided that Mr. Whlte
might he permitted to proceed in order. But Mr.
White continued to talk in the same strain, When
Mr.. Miller again called him to order.
The Speaker thought that the remarks OF the
gentleman were not relevant to the bill.
Mr. White said that the difference between the
Sneaker and himself was that while he had been
cndcavoring to defend the rights of the poorest
pconle of his state, the Speaker had been en-.
tcavoring To yet his bills through Congress for
the biggest whisSey monopolies in the State OF
Kentucky.
Mr.. Miller demanded that these words be taken
down as unparamentary.
The Speaker-"The Chair desires that the
words should not be taken down, and that no

hotl. sides of the chamber.
Mr. Miller thercupon Withdrew bis demand but
insisted that the gentleman should proceed in or
der not at all
The Spcakcr-"The Chair will endcavor to en-
force the rules OF the House" -
MIR. Cannon suggested that great latitude had
been always permitted to members in speaking,
and that their remarks were not confined to the
provisions of the special bill under consideration.
The Speaker replied that while of his own mo-
ton he would not interfere with the course of q
gcntlemau's remarks when point was raised by
another member be was bound to decide the ques
ton in accordance with the rules.
Mr. Miller said that he did not raise the point
out of any ill-fccling toward the gentleman from
Kentucky but he did object to the time OF the
House being taken up in the settlement OF the
differences which member of Congress might
have with some other person. member had the
utmost liberty in debate aud could not be called
| to account for his uttcrances and that liberty
ought not to be abused. The House ought not to
permit member to abuse his privilege and say
anything del ogatQry to the character of any man.
Mr.. White then proceeded in order, and at the
conclusion of bis speech the bill was passed.

reports that we need a new house for white
boys, and that it must have al least twelve
rooms As there is a well founded objection
in the minds of several trustees, and, prob.
ably, majority of the people against a
building higher than two stories, six of the
rooms, with necessary passages, &c., must
be on the ground floor. How much ground
will it cover?
TO seat fifty pupils, room should be 81
feet by "a; the clothes room must be at
least three feet wide, and there must be not
less than eight feet allowed for the passage
to contain a staircase, and six for cross
passage. Thus the ground covered must be
not far from 10 by IS.
As six hundred boys are to be taught in

annoy the neighborhood by playing in the

large, for it will contain but 1880 square
feet, and the building will cover 1880,
leaving but eight thousand open.
Parents will not tolerate location in the
suburbs, and the question arises, where, in
central situation, is the half square to be
had? and how much will it cost? A con-
