ficult task. He Succeeded, however, com-
ing to the surface covered with bruises and
scars. He, too, owed his _safety to his
ability to use his hands and feet to advan
tage, as did also his brother, who had an
equally miraculous escape.
A small boy got on the back of an elderly
gentleman named Ashbury, and when that
gentleman first came to the surface, Mr.
Ashbury shouted, " Get off there," fearing
he would not be able to carry himself
ashore, much less than the boy._ "No, you
don't." replied the urchin, and bravely held
the fort till the shore was reached. Mr. Atilt -
bury lost his aged partner in life. He was
frantic with grief last night and to -day,
saying that if lie had known that his wife
was drowned he would have gone down
without an effort to save himself.
Miss Louie Meredith is suffering from
great mental prostration. Her father did
not wish to go down the river, but she per-
suaded kiln and lie went. Being lost, she
charges his death on herself, and her grief
is unbounded.
Shortly before 3 o'clock this morning,
tv man Cerra'', who was rescued from the
‘n.eck and taken to McDonald's Hotel,
Kensington, died. It is supposed he had

waggons were extemporised. There WAS no
false sentimentality evident.

of this city, -were the happy party who
five weeks ago on the fatal Tuesday, fo
ea the wedding party on the steamer Grace

Queen's Birthday they all again assembled
and had their tickets purchased for Spring.
bank, and were about the first to take their
place on the Victoria, intending to go dowu
and return on the same boat. A sudden
notion seemed to strike Mrs. McLean, who
said, "Let us not go, but go home instead."
All agreed but Mr. Chas. Melbourne, who
went down, and in the 'accident was one of
the first to take to the water and assist iu
rescuing the struggling ones.
• A WENTIA'ORTII GIRL LOST.
On the G. W. R. express train which left
here last night at 11.40, the remains of
Miss Dennis, wno had been on a visit to a
friend in the city, were taken to her late
home, eighteen miles from Hamilton. The
body was accompanied by two mAle rela-
tives, who were plunged in the deepest
grief. One, a.young man, broke forth with
the lamentation: "Oh. how can I tell her
poor widowed mother!"

A most disgusting and heartrending sight
-was witnessed in connection with the dis;

daughter of Matilda Grafton, was among.
the -drowned. .The. corpse was . brought to
Matilda's house, but instead of exhibiting
• signs of grief and -affliction the wretched

THE HORRORS OF WAR.
Terrible Scenes on the Fiehle ed
Battle.
BOTH EYE AND NOSE OFFENDED.
Procuring saddle horses at Lima, the
writer and two companions rode out to the
battle fields. Before we -reached the spot
we could smell the stench, as the wind was
blowing from it towards we The flies
began to bother Our animals, and we soon
reached the first subject. It was adead
cholo, or Peruvian Indian, with his rifle
and. forty or fifty cartridges lying near,
also ft bag of mouldy bread. Ile had a
bayonet stab in the breast, and his skull
was broken by a blow from a musket
stock, as it is said the Chilians finish their
victims in that style. Benzine had been
poured on his body andthenset On fire.
The flames had ran swiftly over,
burning the clothing .and portions of
the body, and then went out. So
there he lay in a half -consumed con-
dition just where he fell a week before.
We soon found others in the satne condi-
tion -and then 1groups cf five and ten in a
pile, some on their backs, others on their
faces, as they were dragged up and flung
together by th4Chilian soldiers. All seemed
to be witlt the'-fegs end arms spread out
and distorted, probably by the action of
the fire. In many places the head had
been burned off at that...neck and the feet
and bends were gone, and the lingers and
striall bones of the feet would burn quicker
than •thio larger mies of flesh. We saw no

• A Singular Pout Herten' Discovery in Ole
• Case of a Long-linffeiinsg allaelthdst:
A despatch from Fulton, N.Y., says a
post nwrtem examination of the body of
Joseph Bausel, who died recently in this
village, developed a phenomenon which sur-
prised the doctors, and has been the theme
of considerable medical speculation.
Bausel, who was 48 years old, was a native
of Wales, and in boyhood was apprenticed
to the trade of machinist and loom -fixer,
which he followed in various factories in
Wales and England before he came to this
country thirteen years ago to set up the
machinery in the Oswego Falls factories,
opposite this place On the Oswego River„
Bausel was a man of strong constitution,
but was addicted to enervating excesses,
and- for the past ten years his health had
been seriously impaired. He had been
treated by all the doctors here and others
from Syracuse, and had dosed himself with
everything he could hear of, so that his
house resembled an apothecary's shop.
Most of the physicians thought he had
cancer of the stomach. The symptoms
weee laminating pains, followed by the
vomiting •of a coffee -colored substance,
• The paroxysms occurred at intervals of
two or three weeks, often attacking him in
the street or at his work.. Sometimes the
pains appeared in his knees, disabling his
legs so that he fell.
• One day,.nine years ago, a physician
administered- a, hypoderrnie'. injection - of
morphine to relieve the pain and kept up
the injectiontefor a year. Then Mrs. Emma.
Franklin, wh�. had become Bausch's nurse,
concluded that the expensive -daily visits of
the doctor. could be dispensed with.
she .bought a syringe and some morphine
and set up in the business herself. About
this time Bausel quarrelled with his wife
and she went home toThigland. He became
a bciarder at Mrs. Franklin's and she can -
tinned: the morphine injections daily for
eight years, to relieve Bausel.S pain when,
he Was in -pain, and when he -was pot, for
fear he would be During the hist year the
dose had _increased to 10 or 15 grainsof

Satan's Soliloquy.
A New York contemporary, referring to
the fact that a number of the New York
churches would be shut up during the warm
summer months, breaks out in this strain;
At a doorway stood the Devil, feeling that his
head was level,
As he watched a xnidnight revel, where the fun
was fast and free,
'Mid the masking and the mull:ming, through his
ears there went a humming
Of the HUM Trier days a coming, which his feast-
ing time should be.
Who will fare so well as he?
"Everything is lovely," said he; " soon the par-
sons, staid and steady,
Will be gladly making ready for their annual_
mum iner spree.
Then the razes and ewes and wetbers, and the
lambkins without tethers,
Shall be swept away like feathers into sin's
remorseless 1.405 ;
They will all be fish for me.
"This to me a splendid treat is, when the annual
bronchitis,
Or a threatened meningitis, draws the shepherds
, from the fold,
And the sheep, desiring freedom, tell thew that
they do not need 'cm
Itt the summer days to lead 'em ; BO they fill
their scrips with gold,
Not a bit like those of old.
"Some go off to breezy highlands, some infest the
cake -and -pie lands,
Others roam the Thousand Islands, others flock
to foreign lands,
Then the various congregations iaeek theirseveral
• recreations,
Not to speak of dissipations, while the Devil
, waiting stands,
Keen to catch them in his bands.
"1, who never 0111 afflicted with the ways I have
depicted,
Or to such delights addicted as the shepherds
find so dear;
1, who only work -for glory, with my partner from
.Peory,
Then *ill tell my pretty story, which the people
like io hear.
• I am With you, never fear!."

Value of Revaccination.
-An illustration of the value of revaccina-
tion is.afforded by a report just furnished
by the chief medical officer of tile General
Post office in England. This report relates
to an average number of 1.0;504 persons.

.all ofwhom have been required to undergo
revaccination on admission to the service-,
unless that operation las been performed '
within,' seven years previously. Among
these persons, during' the ten yeare. 1.80-
11379; therehashot been a single fatal ease -

were of a very ,slight character. In the -
Telegraph Department, where the enforce,

Two, Children Hung and Bury st Ilrotber.;
A despatch from Statesville;X. C, says
"Abso_lom Brown, a widower living near - - •
here; went away from home. yesterday, '
leaving his three. children alone. The
youngest Of these children, a boy, aged .3
years, hadlongbeen sickly, and the two
older'children, a boy . and girl, conceived
the idea of putting him out of the way.
They accordingly tied a rope - around his
neck and swung him -tea joist of the house,..
where he was found a few minuteslaterby
a colored woman, of the neighborhood', who -
passed through the lot on an errand. .
This woman cut the child down and laid it
on the bed, when it began to gasp and ,
filially regained consciousness. She then ,
wentler way, and, returning homeward _
sometime. later, stopped again at Brown's.
house, where she ascertained that the,
brother and sister bad taken the young ,
child off the bed, carried it out behind the
garden and buried it. She hastened to the
scene of the burial, dug tbe child up and
carried it to the house. The child died to;
day from the shock.

A Too Obedient Son.
- (From the St. James'Gaiettee
The Assize Court at Heilbronn, in Wurt-
emberg, had lately before it a case which is .
probably unique in criminal annals. A
laborer, who was laid up with a- broken
leg. was charged With embezzlement, and
was summoned to appear before the „little .
d'instntet ion: Overwhelmed with the clis-
grace,perhaps unable to. exculpate himself,
he orderedehis son to hang him. The son,
who atso was a laborer, obeyed his father's
wish, and carried him to the 110USO loft,
where be hung him effectively from one of -
the beams. The court sentenced the son
to imprisonment for three years and nine -
months. -
• Corporal punishment, as - it is now in-
flicted in England en prisoners bymeans
of a birchrod, appears to be regarded by
them as a good joke, and to !exercise an
exhilaratingrather than a deterrent effect
on the offenders. The chaplain of Park-
lnirst prison, in his report just. printed,
calls.attention to this point, and expresses
his belief that in the - end it is kindest to
make _punishment real. He is inclined to
think, from a conversation overheard
between two prisoners, one, of 'wham had
recently been 'flogged, that if corporal
•pueishment must be resorted to at all, the
birch is "a mistake. "Well," inquired one
of the prisoners, "how did you get on the
other day?. Did you mind it ?"
Jack," replied his fellow captive, "mind
it? I should think notsjancy minding a
birch broom! Why, bless you, my.mother
ha -soften given me a stiffer warming than-, -
that before breakfast7-ahl many a time.%

The salaries paid to Nevi.-Yerk actresses
are estiniated'. as follows: -Clara Morris,
when at the Union Square last season, had
$000 a week,- -furnishing- her own dresses; ,
Fanny Davenport is said to have received
$750 a week last year at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre, but it is -more probable that her
pay was $1,000; fRoe Eytinge got44$350 a
week of the Union Kquare ; Ada Dyas had
1250; Kate Claxton had $.175, etc.- These
salaries seem large, but when one considers --
how many ainbitious girls are broken dowv
to make one good performer and how brtef
the range of popularity May be, and aTilt
the expese of such it life, it is not very
large after all. -
