The news was not thought worth
sending by telegraph, but a most re-
markable American woman died in the
town of Bloomington, Conn, recently,
at the advanced age of seventy-seven.
This woman was Julia Brace, whose
name appears in every cyclopedia, and
whose history has been told a thousand
times. At the age Of four and half
years she lost both her sight and hear
ing, soon losing, too, her power of
speech, and SO for all her long life she
was blind, deaf mute, deprived OF her
most important senses, yet learning to
distinguish articles, persons, and even
colors by her nice sense of touch. Her
tenacity of memory was wonderful.

THE DAVIS LETTER.
The Epistle Referred to by Gen.
Sherman Found in North
Carolina.

CHICAGO, H., Dec. IA Raleigh, n. c.,
special says. In reference to the recent con-
troversy between Gen. Sherman and Jeffer-
son Davis, in which the former charged the
latter with having threatened 10 force certain
states to remain in the confederacy, It has
been stated that the letter containing this
threat was written by Gov. Vance, United
States senator, in reply TO his letter to Presi-
dent Davis Of Oct. %, 1869. It has been
stated also that the letter Of Davis had been
destroyed. This is a mistake. The letter Is
here, and is now in the possession Of gen.
tleman of Raleigh. 1t is as follows:
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. IL, 1S62.-To His
Exeelency. Gov. Vance, Raleigh, N. c.,
Dear Sir: / have the honor to acknowledge
yours of the 25th ult., and regret the disap-
pointmeut TO which some of the recruits Of
North Carolina have been subjected. ! con-
eur with you as TO the policy allowing the
conseripts, as far ss the state of the service
will permit, to select the companies and reg
iments in which they are TO serve. The
right secured by law Of the volunteer to Sc
lect his own company was lost, il is true, by
enrollments; but the policy was SO obvious Of
associating men together who would not har-
monize with each other that IL was my pur-
pose TO continue the privilege beyond the
limit fixed by law. The danger TO the coast
of North Carolina and our inability 10
draw troops from the army
of Northern Virginia rendered II
proper that the greatest exertion should be
made Immediately to I'll up the regiments In
Gen. French's commands, but this did no,
interfere with allowing conscripts to select
among those regiments the one TO which
they would be assigned so long as vacancies
existed in the companies chosen, and that
expected would have been done. Twill send
your letter TO the war department with a
copy OF the reply 10 you, and hope for the
future there will be no ground for dissatis
faction, and that, as far as possible, the dis
appointments TO which YOU refer may be cor
rected by transfer. / feel grateful to you
for the cordial manner in which yoI
have sustained every proposition connected
with the public defense, and trust there vii
always be such co-intelligence aud accord
ance as viii enable US TO cooperate for tn
public good. The conscript act has not beer
popular anywhere out Of the army. There
as you are aware, IL receives the check o

Connected by Telephone.
Especial Telegram TO the Globe. |


BosToN, Dec. 14.-The telephone is now
utilized to carry on conversation between
Boston and New York, which can be done
with as much ease as formerly between short
distances. The South New England Tele-
phone company, licensed by the American
Bell Telephone company, have opened an
office in this city for long dis
tance telephoning. Direct connection
will be given with all telephone
subscribers, and there will be pay stations
in Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York
city. The system is a very simple one, and
thoroughly effective. There is double wire,
obviating the difficulties arising from a
ground current, while an improved trans
mitter permits the use of stronger batteries
than are used upon ordinary telephone cir
cults. The wires used are copper, hardened
by peculiar process, which makes them dur
able without impairing their conduetivity.

A Husband and Wife Commit Suicide.


Especial Telegram to the Globe.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 13.-The particu-
lars OF a very sad tragedy have Just been re
ceived here. About three months ago the
wife of Prof. n. n. Brown, formerly a
teacher in one Of tie public schools of this
city, committed suicide at Redhook, n. Y,
by taking paris green, because Of slander
circulated against her virtue. The violent
death of his wife greatly depressed
Prof. Brown, and gradually his mind became
affected. At the time Of the woman's suicide,
her husband was principalof of q school at Red
hook, but, as his mental condition grew
worse, be resigned his position and laid in
wait for the man whose name was coupled
with his wife's alleged indiscretiop.
About q month since he called at
the mans house early in the morning,
and incohereDtly referred TO the deceased
wife. He was then driven away BY the
firing OF revolver out Of the window. Three
weeks ago Prof. Brown visited the residence
of his brother, at Owen City, near the bound.
ary line of the Schuylkill and Dauphin coun-
ties. On Friday he attempted to take his life
by cuttings cash into his neck with a razor.
His brother, being q physician, at
tended TO his injuries and
prevented his death. After this
effort at self-destruction Browns brother
slept with him. On Wednesday DR.. Brown
was called away, and during his absence the
demented man opened the main artery in
his leg, and during the day died from los.
of blood. Tomorrow his remains will b'
brought TO this city, aud on Sunday they vii
be buried by the side Of the body of hi
wife at Thorp's church, short distance frou
this city. The deceased came to this cit
thirteen years ago, and while here msrrie'
