Sophia and Fanny Bell described the symp
toms and sufferings of their aunt. 'She cam
! plained of burning in the throat and stont
-1 ach, constant and Insatiable thirst, cold feet
and hands, with a sensation of numbness or
paralysis. The feeling (she said) was like a
rolling boll of fire in her stomach. She

her death; she first began tobe drowsy lust
before her death; when she looked at us
1 very sharp; sometimes ~he !coked rather
1 excited, and at other times rather care
! worn ; I heard her complain of the coldness
lot her feet a week before her death; she fre
quently said, closing her hands, that they - felt
,queer." •
• Fanny Belt testified that the color of the
vomit was at first yellow, but after several
days it beettioe dark, and her face was lan
'quid and anxious. Both the girls saw Ste
, opens give powders-and frequent drinks to
his wife—some with laudanum in. They
testified, also, to his general treatment of her
; for many months before her death. It was
' harsh and cruel. She was fourteen years
: older than he, and he would not be seen in
-I the streets with her. Spoke angrily to her,
;and wished that she was dead. He took ad-
vantage 6f his relationship to attempt fan-al.
iarities towards Sophia, which, she repelled.
i A Mr. Cardwell had been paying his ad-
I dresses to Sophia, and a day was fixed for
! the marriage at the church, sometime after
I the death of Mrs. Stephens. On the day be
fore that, Mr. Cardwell received an ancitiy
muus letter, inforniing him that Sophia was
not a virtuous girl, and that she *as on
1 terms of improper intimacy with her uncle.
This letter was produced in Court, and
proyed to be in the handwriting of Stephens
' himself. , It might have been sufficiently ex
1, plained by jealousy of Cardwell, but it tin
, fortunately ref'erred to circumstances related
i in the testimony of Sophia, and this went to
, confirm her truthfulness. Stephens wished
to break off the engagement between!, Card
, welt and Sophia, and to marry her himself;
He, therefore, wrote the anonymous letter to
him, and at the same time represented to her
I that Cardwell . was, a very bad man. In, do
t ing this he made use of one expression that
I exemplifies, in a most remarkable manner,
'that irresistible tendency to • self-betrayal
1 which se often follows the perpetrator of a
' great crime. It was about a month after
Mrs. Stephens's death. He told Sophia that
Cardwell hail poitoned his fir;i wife!

A ST,ILI.Nsss crept about the lamase;
At evenfaU, in noontide glare, -_
Upon . the silent hills looked forth
N 'The many-windowed Home of Quair.
The peacock on the terrace screamed,
Browsed on the lawn the timid hare,
The great trees grew I' the avenue.
Calm by the tlellcied House of Quair.
The pool was still ; around its brim
The alders sickened all the air ;
There came no murmur from the streams,
Though nigh flowed Leitben Tweed and Quair.
The days hold on - their wonted pace,
And men tireourt and carer - repair,
Their part to 511, of good or ill, -
While women keep the Rouse of Quair.
And one is dad in widow's weeds.
And one is maiden-Ile and fair,
And day by day they seek the paths
_Aboutthelonely fields of Quair.
TO see the trout leap in the streataa,
The Summer cloudarefleeted there,
The maiden love% in happy dreams,
To hang o'er silver Tweed and Quair.
Or oft in pall-black velvet clad,
. Sat away in the Oaken chair, '
Lila; many a dame of her ancient name,
The Mother of the House of Quair.
Her daughter 'broidered.by her side,
With heavy drooping golden hair,
And listened to bor frequent plaint—

" For more than one bath lived to pine,
And more than one bath died of care,
And more.than one bath sorely sinned,—
Left lonely in the House of Quair.

She came: they kieled'her in the hall,
They kissed her on the winding stair,
They led her to her chamber high,

They bade her froth the window look,
Aid mark the scene how passing fair,.
Among whose ways the quiet days
Would linger o'er the Wife of Quair. „

out hopesof - success, because the profession
have yet to learn that opium can be found
after so long a period ;'the liquid produced
from the contents of the intestines wasintro.
duced, and yellow stains found, which led to
the suspicion of the presence of siulphuret of
arsenic ; they - have since been oxydized, i and_
correspond to the liquid chemical test of ar.
senic; the white crystaline precipitate found
was also examined by the microscope, and
showed the presence of arsenious acid ; the
quantity taken from the intestines was scarce
ly half a teaspoonful.
A considerable part of the medicaL testi
mony related to the effects of arsenic upon
, the living system. It will be remembered
that the two Bell girls described _ the actual
symptoms manifested by their Aunt, employ
ing in some instances her own words. As
no unexamined witness was allowed to be
present in the Court roots, they could not
get any portion of' their tuitio - my by here
say from the doctors, and yet it was almost
in identical terms. Doctor Detmold stated`
the effects of arsenic to be a burning pain in
the stomach, the eyba might have a wild end
brilliant appearance,' the ejected contents of
the stomach Would be yellow, and afterward
- of a darker,color,litinibness, loss of sensation,
tossing the hands abbot, etc. These, and es
pecially the sensation' described by a rolling
Insit of lire, are so nearly. identical, as to
seem like the,tessimoni of the same person
repeated.
Such was the evidence in-this remarkable
case. The jury after nine hours' deliberation
agreed upon a verdict of guilty. Believing
it. they could arrive at no other conclusion.
Never did the avenging spirit of the raw
pursue a victim with more direct and indu
bitable steps. Never did the finger of sci
ence point with more absolute certainty to
such terrible'developments, dragging them
out of the earth where!: they bad remained
concealed for a whole year, with every nat.
ural probability that by no human agency
whstsoever,,conld they agaiii be brought to
the light of day. The miserable man who
perpetrated the deed was living in full confi
dence that every linur placed him further be
yond the reach of discovery, when every
minute breught'him nearer to it.
How many atrocious crimes lie buried
deeper than the grave, and are never pun
ished on earth, it is impossible to, imagine ;
but we are constantly taught by example
that the doors - of escape are closing one after
another, and that the murderers's.chances of
concealment - are being narrowed within an
ever contracting circle. Science stands'at
the center, and stretches out its telegraph
like radii to the circumference,' leaving no
point-unwitched by its sleepless eyes, and
lending its almost miraculous powers to aid
all other methods of pursuit and detection.

THE FMIIISNED RAND. •
Is, the year 1834 or 5, I left Norfolk, Va.,
in a large schooner bound. for New York.—
One of the cabin passengers had a sick child,
and. no-attendant. The second day after we.
left• Norfolk, the child asked for food ; and I
offered to prepare a toast for it. For this
purpose I went to the cook's room, which
web, below the deck, and in going to, which it
was necessary to pass a quantity of freight,
which had been put on - board st Norfolk.
The steward kinditassisted me in making
the toast, and added a cracker and a cup of
tea. With those on a small waiter, 1 was
returning-to the cabin, when,..in passing the
freight, which consisted of boxes, bags, dec.,
a little tawny, famished-looking hand was',
held out iroin between the packages. The
skeleton fingers, agitated by a convulsive
movement, rere evidently reachiallinth with
a vie* to the food in my possession. Shocked,
but not alarmed, by the apparition, !laid the
cracker on the hand, - which was immediately
withdrawn. No one observed the transac
tion, and i went swiftly to the cabin. The
sick child was gratified with, its meal ; and
when, in the afternoon, it wanted more, 1
again offered my servicea. I apologized „Ail
the steward fur the liberty I was taking in,
visiting the premises so often, but I -pleaded
the necessity of attending to the little inva
lid. 1' found he was a father, and inquired
the names of hii children.. I brought him
fgesents for them, and so ingratiated myself
into his favor that I soon had free, access to
the larder, and often had nice things prepared
fur myself AS wall as the little cue in the'
cabin. But whatever I could procure was
divided with the &noshed hand, which to me
had become a precious charge. There must
have been an eye to watch my motives. In
fancy I could see that eye- gleaming at my
approach, but at other times closed in dim
despair.
As all was tranquil on board, it was .evi
dent that I alone was aware of the presence
of the unseen fugitive, and I humbly returned
thanks to God for allowing me the privilege',
of ministering to-the wants of this his outl'
cast, despised and persecuted image. That
the unfortunate being:was a slave:.l doubted
not ; but bow could I serve him or her, or
whoever it might be, effectually '1 I knew
the law and usage in such cases. I knew the • I
poor being had nothing to hope from. the.,
captain and crew of the vessel, and repeated.,l
ly asked myself the agonizing question, Will
there be any way of escape? 1 had hoped
we inighOland in the „night,. and so, under
favor of darkness, the fugitive be enabled to
go on shore, unseen by those on board. I
determined to watch for and assist the crea
ture, who had been thus providentially con.'
signed to my care. On the sixth day s (we
below were being moved, in order to come
at something 'which was wanted ; and so
filled up was the passage - that I could not go
below. My heart seemed to die within me,
tar the safety of the sufferer had become
dear to me. We sat down to dinner, but
the dishes swam before my eyes. 1 felt that
a discovery must take place. The tumbling
of the freight below bad not ceased. Each
moment I expected an alarm. At. length I
heard a sudden hallo, and all was quiet.—
Presently the steward came into the cabin,
looked significantly at the company, and
whispered to the captain,, The captain was
carving, but immediately laid down his knife.,
and, fork, and went on deck. One of the
passengers followed him, but soon returned,
and, in a laughing manner, informed us that,
a strange passenger had een found among
the freight. le is," added he, "a small mu-,
latto boy, who says he belongs to Mr. —,
of Norfolk ; that he 'had been concealed
among the lututier, on the wharves, for tw6
weeks, and secreted himself in the schooner
on the night before we sailed. He is going
to New York to find his father, who
,escaped
two 'years since. And" continued he,-" he is
started to a pkeleton, hardly worth taking
baek." Many jokes were passed as to_ the
manner of his- being renovated, when he
should fall into the hands of his master.—
Some thought that the vessel must put im
inedately back. Others were of opinion,
as We weie within eight hours' sail of New
York, the trip would be made and the boy I
carried back on her return. .1
The unfortunate child had been brought on
deck, and we all left the cabin to look at him.
I followed behind, rawest unwilling to see
him, and stood some time by the companion r
way, in order to gain strength for the inter-.
view. rthert.proceeded forward.- As soon
as fie discovered me. a bright gleam passed
oVer_his countermen*, and be instantly • held
out to tne the same famished hand, lily,
feelings were no longer to ,be controled.—
There stood st, child; before me, not more
than eleven or twelreleses of age, of, yel
low comelexion and escLeountenance, nearly
naked, his back seared with , scan, and his
flesh waited to the Woe. I burst into tears
—into lamentation; and the jeers' of Others
were for itmoment turned-into sympathy.
It, bowe.ver, began to be suspemed - thm
had brought the boy away, and in that case
the vessel must put - beck, in order to. give
me up alim. But 1 - related the „circulastan-•
oes, as they occurred, and alt appeared Baths
Piedwith the truth of my statement. •
I requested that I might be allowed to teed
the boy, which request was granted ; and I
carried him some dinner on a plate; which fin

traveler, after riding eight or ten fillies with

the exercise of his art. The following collo
quy ensues, (the indefatigable fiddler still
playing the first strain of The Arkansas

1 the wato; through' any part of the pitinf,-as I
_had been led to suppose when I had seen igni
ter drawn by Sir William Hooker, from one -

There was a kind of natural cavity, or the

leaves, above its union with the stem; and
•
the water which had been _collected on the -
broad and ribbed surface .or, the leaf,-luid

flowed don ' groove or epout on the upper

Butjn Madagascar, this tree. might, with
ropriety, be called the builder's free, rather -
ban the traveler% tree. ha leaves form the •
1 batch of all the hoeseeon the eastern side of

' rt \
itions, and often sides of the houses ; and ~t
e hard outside bark - is. stripped from the
inner and softer part, and having been bealen -
out flat, is laid for flooring ; and I have seen •
the entire floor of a long, welt-built house
covered' with this bark; each piece being at
least eighteen inches wide, , and twenty or
thirty feet long. The leaf, when green, is
used for a wrapper for packages, and
_keeps
out the rain. Large quantities are also sold -
every.morning in - the markets, as it serves
the purpose of table•eloilt; dishes, and plates, .
at meals; and folded into certain forms, ix.
used instead of spoons and drinking vessels.
Sznesura.—Siberia has , been civilized by the
exiles sent thither, and by voluntary emigra
tion from Russia, till nearly four of the five
millions of inhabitants of _that region are .
Europeans, or of European descent—more
fortunate than their western kiiismen in this, .
that there is not a seri among them. Siberia •
is.fast becoming a place of great commercial
importance. Its proximity to Oregon
,and
California. will give a trade which.will make .
Russian empire. The ice used nibitd - rntn= -
disco was formerly obtabied from the United
States. It now comes &am Siberia,.atfording
constant employment to half a dozen ships.
la five years from pow the trade between"
Siberia and California will be .a matter Of'
importance.
The Siberian mail is conveyed' from St.
Petersburg to 'Moscow by rail, end from
thence to Irkutsk, the capital of Eastern Si
beria. in carriages drawn by. horses. The
distance from Voseow to Irkutsk is 3,420 -
miles, and there are 210 mail stations on the
road for changing horsei. The mail nomme.,
nication, is semi-weekly, and the expense of• •
it the Russian Government is about $237,-
000.1 year. The mail from Moscow" to
'lrkutsk is generally conveyed in about 25 or
SO days. The mail communication between
' Milt and China is carried on by • a horse
post between Pekin and Kyachta, a frontier
. townin T rans Baikal, close to Mongolian -
China, once ever/ three months. The dis.
lance between hyachta and Pekin is reckon
ed about 1,000-miles,-and is .traversed in
about 30 days. The thins mail Is conveyed
