The Wisconsin Trance Cast'.
Sin - ce publishing Dr. Kramer's note in
relation to the Burlington sensation, we
have received rthe following, letter from
Dr. Stoddard. It dispels much of the
mystery, if any, attached to the case :
Having seen in your paper and heard
also from a variety of sources of the sup
posed trance of Mina Bausch, of Burling
ton, I was this day induced to visit the
house for the purpose of determining her
condition. I found the body lying in a
room of the.temperature of about forty
degrees, on an ordinary cot bed. The
appearance is as follows : Body of the
temperature of the surrounding atmos
phere; face of a purplish color, from being
partly dried; nose at the end dessicated,
shrunken and quite black; eyes deeply
- sunken in their sockets. and collapsed to
the fullest extent; lips dry, hard and
black; fingers and toes hard andheavy in
appearance, and altogether presenting the
appearance of a body dead several weeks.
At this season:of the year there-is nothing
remarkable in the absence , of putrefaction,
as every. - anatomist knows that bodies
may be kept without any trouble for sev
eral months in winter .in ,the alternating
temperature of the dissecting room. How
the thousand repotts can have originated
I cannot determine, except through the
pievalent tendency to exaggeration of
every circumstance 'connected with dis
--ease and death. She has been reported
on "reliable authority" as having been
resuscitated by a physican from some
Eastern city, and as having' complained
mostly of the warmth of her experiences
during the trance. Knowing what bad
effects such stories have on persons of a
nervous and imaginative temperament,
and that persons seldom trouble them
selves to show the fallacy of the state
ments after they have in the great major-•
ity of cases prove(l to, be fallacious, I
think the insertion of this will tend to
somewhat cool the morbid romantic taste
so extensively engrafted on human na
ture.
The Copper Tariff'.
The copper tariff bill as it goes to the
- President' for his signature, is as follows:
Be it enacted, 6v., That from and after
the passage of this act in lieu of duties
heretofore imposed by law, or articles
hereinaftei mentioned, there :hall be ley
tied, collected and pain on, the ankles
herein enumerated and provided for, im
ported from foreign countries the follow
ing spOified duties and rates of duty;
that, is to say, on all copper imported in
the form of ores, three cents on each pound
of fine copper contained therein; on all
- regulas of copper and on all block or
coarse copper, four cents on each pound
of fine copper contained therein; on all old
copper fit only for remanufacture, four
bents Per pound; on all old copper plates,
liars, ingots, pig , and in other forms, not
manufactured or herein enumerated, in
cluding sulphate of copper or blue vitro],
five cents per pound; on copper in rolled
plates, called brazier's copper, or sheets
rods, rivets, pipes and copper bottoms, all
,manner of copper articles, or articles of
which copper shall be a component or
.chief Value, not otherwise herein provided
for, forty-five per- cent. ad valorem: pro
- vided the increased duty imposed by this
act shall not apply to any articles therein
enumerated which shall have . been in
course of transit to the United States and
, actually on shipboard on the 19th of Jan
uary, 1869.
A SCIENTIFIC, writer says that eater
which has stood in an occupied bedroom
over night is utterly filthy, a deleterious
poison, and unfit for drinking. The wa
ter is a powerful absorbent of gases, tak
ing in during the night all the poison that
is thrown off by respiration. • The colder
the weather the more impure the water
will become. At ordinary temperature
a pail of water will contain a pint of car
bonic acid and several pints of ammonia.
The capacity is nearly doubled for re
ducing the temperature of water to ice.
Of course the matter becomes doubly se
rious when a small or close room is occu
pied. These facts disclose another of con
siderable importance in domestic econo
my during this cold weather, viz : that
watermay be used as an absorbent of
frost. Place a tub of water in a cold cel
lar over night, and in the morning the
vegetables will be found untouched by
frost; even though the water should be
frozen solid. Water is excellent as a
purifier, but people who regard their
health should be certain that it is itself
pure before applying it to the person
either externally or internally. •
THE Philadelphia North American says:
A singular charity appeals at present to
the heart of Philadelphia. A gentleman,
well recommended by Rev. Albert Barnes
and other distinguished and judicious
clergymen, asks contributions in aid of a
"home," established in Florida ' for the
orphans made fatherless daring the past
.years by the Ku ; Kluxand other desperate
gangs which have overrun the Southern
Stites. He iays: In Eastern Florida,
near old Fort King, a colony of these
- children are now being gathered. Tem
porary houses have been obtained for
over five hundred, while two hundred
andlorty-nine, including sixteen infants,
sixty-three whites, one 'hundred eighty
;six colored, are now being cared for at
the above place. They are in large log
buildings, lodging on dry hay'and straw,
being kept alive by the meagre pittance
`of sweet potatoes, milk and wild , fruit.
Teachers and a matron have been obtained
for them, but they suffer very much for
the want of food, as the corn has been
all consumed that was provided for them
in the fall.

FEMALE TELEGRAPH OPERATORS.—
A free school for teaching women the art
of telegraphy will be opened on Febru
ary 15th, at pie Cooper Institute, New
York. This school is establkhed by the
Cooper -Union in conjunction with. the
Western Union — Telegraph Company,
and is the first attempt in this country, to
give women a reguLsr training as tele
graph operators. It is asserted that a fair
oppertunity is thereby , afforded for wo
men who desire to • earn an independent
and'honorable livelihood, to learn a busi
ness for which they are as competent as
men.
A "Docarn-Ennan" locomotive, built
at Patterson, has been tried on the New
Haven Railroad. This engine luts no
tender, and carries water in a tank over
'the boiler. The coal is contained in a
Bupply-box placed in the rear of the fur
nace, and there are trucks and a cow
catcher at each end. The engine can be
ne.gd for freight, passenger or switching
bukiness, for which latter it is especially
valuable; being able to run with equal
facilitjr in either direction.
IHome for the Friendless. ,
A few days since a poor woman called
on'one of the managers of the. "Home. for
the Friendless" and handed him a letter
from a member of the Young Men's
• Christian Association of Pittsburgh, re
questing that this woman and her
three • children might be received into
the "Home for the Friendless." -
The story of the poor woman was a sad
•one. She bad mine from Montreal in
se-arch f her - husband, who, early last
summe , had left her and their children
to go to, Ohio for work, where he was
successful for a time, during which he
sent her regular remittances. He left
there and came to Pittsburgh, and failing
to get work in the city, went to 'Etna.
Hearing this, thither she wended . her
way. She inquired of a man at one Of
the union mills if he knew her husband.
The man said he did and would take her
to the plc e where he -worked. She said
to the l a y to whom she had applied for
admissl n to . the Home: "My heart
leaped for joy, and I thought, now I shall
see my dear husband, and I and my lit-
tie ones will soon have a home."
The man who said he knew her hus
band Went with her to the office of the;
clerk, who, on referring to his books,
found her husband had left three weeks
before for Harrisburg. Thus were her
hopes crushed. What would she now
do? penniless and friendless. The lady
with whom, her husband had. boarded,
kindly gave the poor stranger food and
shelter until the - next day/ She then
returned to Pittsburgh. She had a letter
from one of the members of the-Young
Men's Christain Association of Montreal
to one of the Young Men's Christ an 1 1 As
sociation of Pittsburgh. She: ow called
upon him, and he sent her, as before
stated, to one of the managers of the
"Home for the Friendless," whokind
and tender heart melted with sy mpathy
as she listened to this tale of woe. In
i,
relating it t 3 the board of manage s . she
said she hardly kr:ew what to do -The
"Home" was already crowded w th in
mates,-and she knew the 4reasur was
very low. On the other hand, her was

as if this had come direct from the hand

children are still at the "Home," and
will be kept there until she ascertains tll
whereabouts of her husband. We ar

Velocipede Battle—A Hundred Ye
Hence.
The following sprightly anticipated W
ool:int of a velocipede battle to be fought
an hundred years hence, we find in' the
Spirit of the Fair:
The great improvements of every age
are generally brought into play in carry
ing on war. During the late rebellion
the railroads were used to transport sol
diers and munitions of war, and the
movements of the army were , directed
by telegraph. What reason then is there
that the great invention, of the present
day; viz: The Velocipede, may not in
the future become so thoroughly and
universally popular as to be an instru
, meat of warfare.
Probably the historian who is called
upon to record a battle in the year 190
will speak of the charge of the Veloci
pede Brigade: There was a lull in the
terrible - conflict; the smoke of battle
rolled over the ensanguined field, reveal
ing. in gory heaps, the dying and the
dead; the rays of the setting sun, strug
gling through the ascending wreaths of
battle smok.e, lighted up, in silvery
splendor, the bayonets of the broken
columns of soldiery; the roar of cannon
and fierce rattle of musketry was heard.
'lt seemed as 'though the battle had end
ed. -But not so. While the fate of the
nation hung, trembling, in the balance,
and it seemed as though no decisive via
tory was to be gained, General Kittle
berger's Light Velocipede Brigade came
dashing up in steady„ column with
gleaming sabres and wild ,hurrahs.
They' swept across the fatelApietk in
grand array so silent and yet so terrible.
In one hand, of each velocipedestrian
Hashed a sabre, while the other directed
the motions of the fiery': and untamed
steed. The. General, with waving plume,
mounted on a splendid new velocipede,
dulled up and down the, llne, inspiring
his troops with heroic courage,. pointing
with his sword : to thedisheartened and
retreating foe. Theacene was one never
to, be forgotten and reminded one of the
famous charge of the six hundred.'•
Bravely, they rode and well,
With velocipedes,pell-rnell,
Into the valley of death,
-Into the mouth of Hell,
Rode the velocipedestrians.
After the charge, which won the vic
tory, was over, how sad the scene. Ve
locipedes, rained forever, were scattered
in every direction; broken wheels were
scattered on < every part of the battle
field, and , spokes and hubs lay comming
ling on the plain. Rittleberger's
Light Velocipede Brigade saved the
day.
'Twas at a fearful cost,
Though not a single life was lost.
