Sego often to church ; and she always, pun /Shed:me when I did not act rightly, and she always took great care to keep me and, my brothens from sin, and whether I went in' or . out. her constant word was'ln the , name of Chiist,' and , with great 'diligence she con stantly gave us,holy exhortations, and, had great care over ur souls ; and her good works, . and the loving compassion that she showed to every, - one, , I can never sufficiently' set forth to her praise. This my, good. mother bore and brought . up. 'eighteen 'ihildren ; she had often had the pestilence and'many other dangerous' and remarkable, illnesses; has'Ouffered great poverty, scoffing, disparagement, spiteful words, fears and great, reverses. Yet she has never been revengeful. A year after the day on which she was first taken ill, that is, in the year 1514, on a Tues day, the .17th day of May, two hours before midnight,. my pious mother, Barbara Diirerin,- departed in a Christian manner with all sacra ments, absolved ,by Papal power from pain and sin: She gave me her blessing, and desired for me God's peace, and that I should keep myself from evil. And she desired also before drinking' ( , he - sacramental wine) St. John's blessing ; which she had, and she said the was not afraid to come before God. But she died bard; and I perceived that she saw something' terrible, for she kept hold of the holy water, and did not speak for a long time. I saw also how Death came and gave her two great blows on the heart, and how she shut her eves and mouth, and departed in great sorrow. rprayed for her, and had such great grief for her that can never express. God DO gra cious to, her! Her greatest joy was always_ • to speak of God, and to do all'• to His honor and glory. '' And she was sixty-three years old when she died, and I buried her honorably, according to my means.. God the Lord grant that I also make a blessed end, and that God, with His hea venly hoSts,'and - rny father, mother anclfriend be: present at my end, and the Almighty God grant uS eternal life. Amen. And in her death she 'looked still more lovely than she was in her life." We will now give a characteristic specimen from Idr.Wm. B. Scott's translation of Diirer's Autobiographical Papers (Longman & Co.), showing a bright passage in one of D iirer's let ters from Venice to Pirkheimer : ' "1 wish you were" in Venice I There are many line fellows among the .painters, .who get more and more friendly with Me; it holds one's heart up. Well-brought up folks, good lute-players, skilled pipers, and many noble and excellent people, are in the company, all wishing me very well and being very friendly. 'On the other hand, there are • some of the falsest, most lying ? thievish villains in the - whole world, Ibeheve, appearing to the un wary the pleasantest possible fellows. I laugh to' myself when they try it with me; the fact is, ,they know their rascality is public, al \ though one says nothing. The good friends I 'have among the painters warn me I should not even eat and drink with these others, be cause of their hostility to me and my church work, abusing me when they have a chance and making disturbance. They say my art is not as the antique, and therefore is not good." Next followS his statement of the pleasure he felt in , Giovanni Belliffl's attentions, still in Venice, and then this very interesting passage, of which Mr. Scott has found the key ; it had baffled many students : • "What pleased me eleven years ago does not giVe me the same pleasure now,l confess. Then I praised no one but Master acob; but I now let you know there :are better Painters bore, though Anthony Kolb swears there is no better in the world than ,Jacob. They laugh at him for saying so, but still lie continues.". Whocan this Jacob be? was a question for many, who would gladly' learn the name of the painter whom Diirer so warmly admired during one period of his studi es.• Our author 'Conclusively shows that it was Jacob Walsh (the Master ,of the Saduceus), aman of whose influence Diirer's early work showed traces. The association with Kolb in the above pas sage is nearly conclusive, and explains that enterprising publisher's esteem for the man who engraved the great :view of Venice which be published in - 1498 or 1800. As - Mr. Scott says, it does not appear that Dr. Campe's statement that Walsh was dead when thiS let ter was written is Correct. Diirer's mention of him in his 'Journal in the Low Countries,' 'in 1520, indicates his recent decease. INFANTILE OP AERVING. An Electrical Child The Memorial de 10 Loire, a respectable 'French journal, gives the following details on the subject of an infant presenting the. most remarkable electrical phenomena ever yet re ported : • "We are not surprised to 'learn that there will , be given to the Imperial Academy of Medicine of Paris an elaborate and intelligent communication of Dr. C—, of Paris, who, with two others, went to St. Ursula, and had the scientific satisfaction of, witnessing the dying agonies, for the chiktis unhappily dead, of the poor little sufferer. would seem that the last moments of the electrical infant presented some truly aston flitting Phenomena. For nearly two weeks be fore its death electrical lights manifested them selves with a vividness that confounded the scientific men, who 'only saw lire,' according to the not very respectful language of our cor- Te.pOndent. "NO One e,lOl occupy the space aroundthe cradle, he says, and the shocks were some times strong enough to knOck down all who approachi-d it. Two cats and a dog, boarders in the house, WPM compelled to leave. This ritate of things was aggravated from day to day, and from hour to - flour, until the termina tiou of the malady, which occurred on the Bth of November, at half-past eleven in the evening. "The infant expired without the least pain or convulsion, sweetly, in perfect repose, and as if it sank to sleep ; while the furniture and occupants of the room were seized with an in describable agitation. At the laSt moment the emanations of light from the body of the dying child became three times more intense than they had ever been seen before, and lasted for several minutes after death. All who were nresent, Ido not except the physicians, went' away deeply im pressed by the strange spectacle tit which they badbeeii the witnesses. "It is not known, at least to. the public, of what disease the child died. Dr. C— will 'perhaps tell us in hiS paper.. ' • "The scientific men, of course; desired to take away the body for examination. But the relations were violently oppoSed to this, and the interment took place in the burial ground of the village with the usual rites and 'bore- "For instance, the hair of the wonderful child was cut off close to the head and divided.. among the relatives and friends. It will prove a powerful talisman, one might suppose, against. many evils. should not be surprised," says our corres pondent, in.conclusion, "If the scamps of the neighborhood - should make it a subject of spectdation ",Pl'he electrical infant was born on the 12th 3!'ebruat3r, 1869, and died on the Bth Nevem rber,having lived nine months. Science must lelbus; if it can, themeaning of this electrical phenomenon," —Louisville is the only city where the Parepa tamp failed to pay expenses: 'moms win milers. This is nitiestion; ask d; and pttriiiillran sweiud, by a *liter in a Mcent Wai t lslip, OrtuteedSto shoW that, such npa demicavtthi plague . ' of ancient tlinesinri4 al cholera of a more modern era, are always heralded by peculiar phenomeas, and some times by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. lie sums up his sagwitent•by namarlduga Those appalling clouds or fogs, which quently herald the coming of the . plague;al - most noted for the darkness. which they produce, sometimes give' sensible indica tion of their morbitlc influence. In the plague in the year 262, when •five thousand persons died daily at Rome, kusebius states , that the air WW 3 so corrupt, as to, royal oik ottieqt* would. rifernkling, the, "tur b id 'dew. ,on dead 'bodies.' Impressions of serious ligures op, doors, pritteMs and other articles were ori tied during the plagues pf 6 . 42 and 600; and, of like nature were the crucicu/ce, which were beheld with tuperstitious 'horror in the pesti lence of 146. A astinking mist" wad noticed, during the visitation of the Black Death ; the fatal Angina kialigna among cattle in 1662, was attended by p blue mist of dew ,on the herbage and pastures ; and the cholera mist at Dantzle, in the present century, had a dis agreeable smell and taSte, so that those who were ,exposed- to it were forced to wash their mouths with water. _ _ _ In the ease , of these. fetid mists and deposi- tions of mould, the air evidently contains dele terious matter—tither from its own. diier ganization or decomposition, or from Mairions exhalations -which are given forth 'froin the earth. It is well-known that various exhala- ODB occasionally take place during earth- , quakes. , states that .a vapor caused.by an earthquake in Calabria, destroyed six thousand sheep. During the eruptions in Italy, in 1329, every 'species of ,animals, in chiding the birds in' the air, Perished in great numbers. In like manner the earthquake in Jamaica in 1690 produced a general sickness; so that three thousand per sons, of those who bad survived the earth quake, perished' by the ; subsequent pesti lence. Among other well-recorded instances of . this , escape, or belching forth of vapors frointhe - earth during earthquakes, it is, stated, tliat'.4 Qpcirto; during the earthquake of 1755, the river, opened and seemed to dis charge an immense quantity of air—manifestly gases which , burst :forth from the earth by momentary crevices in , the 'bed of the river. Previous to the earthquake in Calabria in 1698, the sea wore a very unusual appearance ; those Who Italie seen a lake during a viblent shower of rain, says rather Kircher, May have an idea of this very extraordinary agitation of the sea's surface. As there was neither wind nor rain at. the — finae, the phenomenon could only ,be ascribed to an escape of air or gaseous, Vapors from the bottom of' the sea, A similar phenomenon has been observed during visita tions of pestilence, the surface of ponds be corning mottled or bubbling .from an escape of vapor, which would be invisible when eking place on solid land. An instance of this kind was observed at Havre, in August, 1832, when the cholera prevailed in France. The citadel of Ila.vre is surrounded by a deep ditch or fosse ; and it was observed by many persons that the water in the fosse suddenly changed its odor and became muddy, while bubbles of air rose' to the surface, causing an appearance ofebullition. At the same time the fish, chiefly eels, which usually remain at the bottom,' were seen to spring above the surface of the water with a convulsive moietrient, and then to drop again languid and heavy; and iu a few hburs the surface of the fosse was covered with , dead flsli. The - adjoining sea was likewise affected lay this poisonous influ ence, for the shore was covered with a quantity of dead fish. It was immediately after this phenomenon that the cholera broke out in Havre. When the scourge of a great pestilence falls on the human species, it is often the case that the beasts of the field, the fish of the sea and rivers, andeven the plants and crops of the earth are afflicted to an unusual extent with disease. • Webster baStemarked that pestilence, murrain and faniine occur simultaneously. This was certainly_ Jhe case as regards the earliest great pestilence of which •we have a record; for as stated in Scripture, the plague of blotches and blains; murrain of beasts, and the blight producing a dearth of cern, all visited Europe in close succession. • Let us note some other instances. In A. D. 1222, a pestilence which destroyed one hundred thousand persons raged in Scotland, and simultaneously, multitudes of dead fish were washed ashore on the British coasts. "In 1240," says Webster, "mortal dis eases prevailed," and authors relate that the fish 'on the English coast had a battle, in which eleven whaleS and a multitude of other fish. were slain and east ashore. "The cause, to which this phenomenon was ascribed," he adds, "althotigh ludicrous enough, ; is import ant; for it strengthens modern cbservation that when, pestilential diseases . prevail on the surface of the earth, fish often perish beneath the waters." During the Black Death, espe cially, a pestilential influence affected all kilid,clf the lower animals, as well as man. A fatal iiittr,rain broke out, and in England three thousand - deep died in one pasturage alone ; and in this case, as also during the murrain in West Africa, it is said that both the birds and beasts of prey refrained from touching the car casses. At the same time immense quantities of dead fish were cast ashore; whose bodies were found to be covered with blotches. The birds of the air likewise 'died.. And Dimer broeck also states, as a fact'which he freqUently observed, that whenever the birds confined in cages died, the inhabitants of the house were invariably attacked shortly after by the plague, It seems as though the cause of the grand epidemics that from time to time desolate the world lies beyond the sphere of human action, and is to be found in a morbific disturbance, or sickening in the earth itself. Unquestionably, those great plagues, like common diseases, are intensified in their severity by defective sani- Lity arrangemeut.s, and are propagated by con tagion to some extent beyond the actual zones or region of morbific telluric action; but still unlike smallpox, typhus and some other dis easeswhose origin may be ascribed wholly to vicious conditions of human , life—the occur rence of those great earth-born epidemics is wholly beyond the control of man. They are deadly influences, of cosmical origin—mala dies which swoop down upon mankind as from a higher world almost beyond his ken—a morbific breath which sweeps over the face of earth, and which, although exhaling from our globe, has its exciting cause in the varying movements and conditions in the far-off world of orbs which surround us. Mlnuesotts Atlylee to Coustmoptives. [Fronp the st. Pan] Prose of Nov, 24,1 It is surprising bow many invalids who come to Minnesota to get relief from , pulmonary troubles, think that the fact of being in the State is all-sufficient to cure them. They sit over hot 'stoves in poorly ventilated, smoke clouded rooms. They sleep in air-tight apart- Merits. They play billiards till late hours. They talk theniselves hoarse. They take long rides 'at the most unfavorable hours of the day. They are irregular about their meals. They call upon a doctor once and neglect him there after. They eat food that ruins their ktom achs. They soak themselves with whisky, and generally end up with a terrible hemorrhage. How utterly useless to come to Minnesota unless one expects to. breathe its pure, tonic air. The invalid whois fit to come here at all, ought to be, in the open air at least live,, or, six • hours each day. Walking may be too 'severe exercise, but riding always does good. Oxygen, oxygen, oxygen is what the consump tive needs. It is for the want of this that he wastes away and dies. By day and night the . diseased lungs or the weak lungs demand pure air. It is in vain to call upon Minnesota to help one in poorly ventilated, over-heated apartments. One may as well stay at home, "EEhi4.l!:-or ,Bouth.

THE NEWSBOYS' HOME ASSOCIATION.—The following circular has been issued by the Managers of the Newsboys' Home : This association, recently incorporated by the Legislature pf the State of Pennsylvania, has purchased the houses No. 913 , and 915 Locust street, andfitted up the building in ac cordance with the objectdesigned ; and being - now ready to open the institution for the re ception of the inmates,' the managers present an appeal to all who feel interested in the sub ject for pequniary aid to enable them to carry out their undertaking. There are many boys in our large city, who, through loss of parents, or other causes, are left without suitable homes and with no one to care for them, and are thus exposed to many temptations. These boys fall almost neces sarily into vagrant habits, and a largo number of them become idle,. thriftless, and profligate men, furnishing continual recruits to the ranks of these human "Wings who are a burden and a curse to the community in which they live. 'With this evil our association proposes to deal, by providing for newsboys, and others who are homeless, a comfortable and well regulated dwelling-place, where they will be brought under good influences / and so ...aiued and'instructed as to. tit them for a better and more useful life. ~ The institution i fitted up with, school rooms, dormitories, bath-rooms, and all other requisites for a comfortable home. We do not propose, however, to make it an entirely gratuitous one, thinking it better to encourage feeling of independence and seit-respect in the boys by repiring a small payment from them for meals and lodging,'which will also aid Somewhat in defraying the necessary ex penses. As 'the receipts from this source, however, will be inconsiderable, the support of the "Home" must depend mainly upon contributions and subscriptions, and it is in view of this fact that we now make our ap peal to the public. An annual subscription of three dollars constitutes the subscriber a member of the association s and the payment of twenty-five dollars a life member. Larger donations are of course, greatly needed at the outset, anti will be therefore additionally , valuable if promptly given. Contributions May be sent to the treasurer or to any of the ,inatiagers, list of whom is subjoined. The borne will be open to visitors on, Tues days and Thursdays,. after January 1, 1870, from 12 M. to 21 1 . M., .

There is reason to be lieve, however, that Haggerty was in this city on Saturday. A gentleman from Philadel phia, who states that he is acquainted with the murderer, was dining at the Herbst Ordi nary, on,Fourth avenue, when three strangers entered the dining-room, one of whom, the Philadelphian is positive, was Haggerty. Here is another clue for our detectives. Let them try again. THE COURTS. Nisi PI - tins—Justice Williams.—Sainuel H. Mellinger and Elizabeth Mellinger, his wife, in right of said Elizabeth, vs. Andrew G. Cochran, Joseph Gieserman, William . Sloan, Samuel Sloan, Sr., and Thomas Campbell. This was an action to recover 'damages for an alleged malicious- proseenttott. Kri. Mellinger alleged that at the In- Aane,4 Of the defendants , was arrested and tak e n bgere Alderman 3.10( 711 14"key, and charged with being a common scold ; that she was held to answer at Court. A writ of habeas mlus was then obtained, and upon the hear ing' before Judge Ludlow she was discharged after the defendants had been heard. Mrs. Mellinger was examined this morning; and testified :that the defeudanot appeared against her at the. Alderman's and preferred the charge, alleging that she was in the habit ofi coming out of her house and abusing the defcndants,calling them "chuckle.. heads," "smugglers," &e.; that at timed her tongue went so fast and her voice was so load that it drowned the noise of the machinery in the neighborhood. Mrs. Mellinger denied the truth of all these allegations, asserting that she never used this language to the defendants or to any. one else. At. the close of the plaintiff's cafe the de fence asked for a non-snit as to all the defend ants except Mr. Cochran, the others merely -being witne:ses; , Mr.Coehraii having obtained the warrant. For the plaintiff it was contended that the defendants could not protect themselves under, the plea of being 'witnesses, AS they were. volunteers, not bring subpoenaed. The Cuba refused the non-snit, suggesting that as all the defendants could be examined as witnesses, nothing was gained by the non snit, with reference to witnesses. The defence set-up that the prosecution was without malice ;. that it was commenced for the purpose of securing Kite peace of the neigh : - 11°11100d. She was, in tact, a common scold, walking up anti down the street - abusing everybody, espeeially Mr. Cochran, her con duct tom arils him and those iu his employ in terfering with his bust Mr. Cochran - was called as a witness, and testified that his place of business was 'on Lombard street, above Third, opposite to Mrs. Mellinger's house ; he had been informed by the men in •his employ in the thstillery that she annoyed them ; that when they went to the windows they were assailed by her in the use of offensive language; this continued for almost a year ; on one occasion the witness. was met on the street by. Mrs. Mellin ger and called a thief and a scoundrel; on another occasion,on a Sunday morning, he .was standing in front of the distillery, with the otherdefendant, (except Campbell); Mrs. Mellinger came upon her doorstep and made such a noise as to attract the attention of pee , - ple in the neighborhood; she Used abusive language; she said: "you scoundrel, I'll put you away from there; you are making fun of me." She had called him "a loafer." On another occasion, when the witness was at Front and Walnut, where Mrs. Mellinger Was standing with her sister, and remarked, "there is Andy Cochran." She has the reputation of "being very busy with other people's business." The witness also al leged that Mrs. Mellinger on one occasion followed a dray, containing whisky, from his distillery to Front and Walnut, at six o'clock in the morning. The cross-examination of Mr. 'Cochran was directed to showing that a suit was . pending in the U. S. District Court, involving. Mr. Cochran, the counsel stating that, his object was to show motive for the prosecution against Mrs. Mellinger, Mr. Cochran thinking, that she was interested in the prosecution against him, and he therefore wished to put her away. The case is still on trial. QuanTsm Sussioraudge Paxson.—Prison cases were resumed this morning. QUARTER SESSIONS—NI udge Peirce.—Prisein cases oecupied the attention of the Court this Morning.

Mouse—Continued from Third Edition.] • • As the matter of a canal across the Istllllll3B of Darien was pa rely a matter of great commercial interest, it had been thought better to carry it to the. Committee on Commerce. Mr. Lynch suggested that that part of the President's west age referring to navigation interests belonged prop erly to a Select Committee on that subject. Mr. Schenck said he had two reasons for preferring its reference to the Committee on Commerce—tirk, because that was a standing committee, and preference was' usually and properly given to such committee; and second. because he understood a select commit tee to have beemereated for the, purpose of looking into the causes of the oedine of shipbuilding and navigation. Mr. Wood inquired whether Congress could begin n consider the question of the inter-beeanie canal until there was a treaty made, and whether the Committee on Foreign Affairs was not theproper committee for the considerution.of a, question of that character. Mr. Schenck supposed Congress might consider the subject before any additional treaty stipulations were entered into other than those now existing. Mr. Wood desired to have read the resolution referring to the inter oceanic canal. The resolution was read as follows: Resolved, That so rune hof said message and documents as relates to commerce and navigation, to an inter oceanic canal, to the regulation of passenger shipe, and to the protection of passengete, be referred to the Com mittee on Commerce • • 'Sir. Wood suggested that the subject of the inter oceanic canal should he , referred to the Committee on Foreign affaint, as it involved the question of a treaty, Mr. Schenck said that in preparing that resolution it with a subject of eomg thought as to what committee that. particular question should go. Thero was new a sufficient understanding and agree ment between the Government of the United State+ and the countries on the Isthmus for the authorities of this Government to send out a surveying party, which had already sailed, or was about to sad. Mr. Wood said ho understood that there was an agree ment so far as a survey was concerned, but there was no concession of a right of way. r. O'Neill expressed the opinion that all the subjects embraced in the resolution came within thejurisdiction of the Committee on Commerce, and that in feet the func tion of the Special Commitfee ou Navigation interests were ended or should be. There had been no necessity for the erention of that committee in the first instance the Committee on Commerce being ready and anxious et all times to perform its duty, Mr. Lynch replied that the special committee had been created with the assent of most of the members of the Committee on Commerce, mid that by Om terms of the resolution it was not required to report before the se cond Monday iu January. Removed the reference to that special committee of that portion of the Presidents message relating to navi gation. The motion was rejected. Mr. Jones (Kentucky) inquired of Mr. Schenck, whether the subject of the recognition of belligerent rights. to the Cuban patriots had been specially re-. ferred. Mr. Schenck replied that it went with all other mat ters relating to foreign affairs to the Committee on For eign Agairs. Ile knew of no other committee to which it could be properly referred. The committee rose and the resolutions wore reported to the House and were adopted. Mr. Dawes introduced a bill to reorganize tho Trea sury Department and dx the pay of its officers, remark lug thatlve did not consider himself committed to its pro vision, but introduced It at the request of others, Re- .• ferred to the Committee on Appropriations. Mr. Butler (Mass.) Introduced a bill to repeal, the tenure of office 'act. Referred to the Judiciary Coln.' Mr. Rill Introduced a bill abolishing the franking privilege.
