The Uniformity OF Nature Laws.

An interesting lecture was deliver
ed recently before the Vienna Acad-
envy Of Sciences, by DR.. w. Meyer,
on the above subject, i'm which the
lecturer explained that the latest as
Economical discoveries showed very
p ainly the system upon which the
uni.ets Sc l. founded. Respecting the
qualities of light, the professor ex-
planned that it passes from all the
gstars to the earth With the same de-
gree of velocity that the earth's light
travels To the stars. The results of
the spectral anal sis were staed a
follows: The analysis of the suns
light.tenshe original shades of colorS
has shown us twenty. five chem mical
elements, which all exist on our earth
also. and no wholly unknown matter
has as yet been ascertalned. The sun
is composed oil TIE same Daterial~ as
the earth. The sun may he eonsid-
cred the mother of the earth. But
the distant fixed stars are of "A com
position similar to, and in many cases

A STRANGE STORY OF THE war.
A Female who Marched, Fought and |
Lived Like a Man

AaAAC . AAoAs
Washington CT. Philadelphia Record.
A singular story hangs from two bills
offered in the House by Representative
Cuteheon, of Michigan. One provides
for the removal Of the charge of deser-
ton from the record of Franklin
Thompson, Of such and such Michi-
gan regiment, and the other grants a
pension to Sarah Emma f. Seelye,
alias Franklin Thompson, of the same
regiment. At the outbreak ofthe war
Miss Seelye, as she saw regiment after
regiment hurrying Southwark, had a
growing desire to so to the front her
self, She wanted TO go as nurse, but
after thinking It over came To the con-
clusiOn that 1t would be better to put
Oh a mans uniform and so to the war
as q private in q Detroit regiment. So
she did. She came with the regiment
to Washington. She went into camp
with it. She went to Bull Run with it
carrying her musket and accOutrements
like man.
After tine battle of Bull Run she found
herself separated from her regiment, be-
tween the Federal ard Confederate
hues. Through the night she trudged
toward Washington, where she arrived
twenty. four hours behind her com
mand. Reunited 10 her fleeing friends,
she went with them to Fredericksburg,
and afterward through the Peninsular
campaign. Everywhere she march
Ell and fought and lived like u
man. 1t began to tell upon her health
however, go she had herself transferred
20 one OF the Western armies. Here,
after time, she became mail carrier,
first for the regiment, then for the orig
ade and then for the division. While
performing these duties she fell i'll and
was ordered to the hospital. There she
felt sure her sex would be discovered.
Accordingly, she determined not to go
to the hospital. The only way out was
10 desert; so she deserted. Afterward,
! in her own clothes and under her own
name, she returned to the army as q
nurse and cared for her late comrades
| to the end of the war. Now she Is
married and lives in Iowa. OF course,
the charge of desertiOn still stands
against her. She wants it removed,
| and then she wants pension for physl-
cal disabilities, which she says she ac'
| uuired in the army,

The wives of EngIish Statesmen.


Nearly all the recent premiers of
England have enjoyed the advantage
OF having had wives Of great devotion
and considerable ability, to whose ten
der care and sympathy in their ambi-
ton they have been largely indebted.
The devotion of the Countess of Russell,
who is still living, and the Countess of
Beaeonsfield had something of ro-
nance. Mrs. Gladstone, who is nearly
the same age as the Premier, accom-
panies her husband, as did Lady Bea-
eonrfield, everywhere, and frequently
remains in the ladies' gallery to the
close of the nights sitting. Lord Pal
merstoD, more than perhaps any other
first minister, however, was indebted
for his position and its maintenance to
his wife, who was physically and men.
tally q remarkable woman. Up to her
death in 1859 at s., four years after her
husband, she could read without
glasses, and talked with all the fire and
energy OF q young woman Of 20. Her
voice was most CHEEKY, musical, and, in
spite OF very evident wig. she was q
very handsome old lady. She had some
pecuilarities, always shook hands with
ner ieit hand, and pronounced gold
gsulu," and china "eheeny."

This is q story of George d. Prentice
which 1 never saw in print and which
is a better illustration of bis ready wit
than anything else he said, l think.
The old Journal office used to be the
stamping ground of many Southern
men, more or less known, who liked to
hear the veteran journalist tell story
or warm up q presumptuous young
man for lunch. Among those who
frequented the Journal office was Will
s. Hays, the song writer.
Coming into Mr.. Prentice's Office one
day in that free and easy way Of his, he
sat down in one chair, with his feet on
another, and jamming his hat on the
back ofhis head, said, without consult
ing Mr.. Prentlce's leisure:
"Seen my last song, George"
Mr.. Prentice ceased writing, sighed
heavily and looked up sadly and re-
proachfully at the young man, said:

ply of SSift's Specific, which persuaded
her to try. She has taken FIVE bottles, the
result of which is that the ulcer is entirely

wears past. She seems to be perfectly
