A Romantic Story.
Tlie arrivnl at Paris of the German po
et, pliilofoplier anJ paltiut, Gottfried Kin
kel, has reiniiidetl a correspondent there
of an adventure of the stormy times of '58
in Germany in which Kinkel and Carl
Schurz, el! known in this country as sol
dier, politician and journalist, were engag
ed. When the revolution hroke out, Kin
kel was a professor, and Schurz, then not
twenty years old, a student at llonn.
Both took prominent part in the struggle,
both were captured, tried and sentenced,
the professor to imprisonment and hard la
bor for life, and tlie student to be shot.
Schurz escaped across the French frontier,
but could not leave his friend and teacher
in his dreary confinement. He disguised
himself in rags, and returned to Prussia
as an organ-grinder, begging his bread by
day, and visiting the friends of liberty by
night, and thus tiavelled many hundred
miles, only to find that Kinkel's prison had
been chinged, and that he was confined in
the fortress at SpaaJau.
Schurz now changed his taciics, and had
recourse to strategetn. Late one night,
carriage, escorted by four dragoons, drove
through Spandau to the fortress, and an
officer in the uniform of a colonel of the
royal guard delivered to the director a let
fer bearing iJm, official am) of Minister
of the Interior at Berlin. It ordered him
to send the prisoner Kinkel at once, in
charge of the bearer of the letter, to the
citadel of Madebourg. Kinkel was awak
ened, securely-ironed, and placed in the
carriage. It travelled rapiuiy an nigm,
the escort ol dragoons and the magic
words, " the King's service," insuring
prompt relays of horses everywhere. In
the morning the prisoner was taken out,
and found himself not at another prison,
but on the sea-shore, close under the guns
of an English vessel, to which he was im
mediately transferred. On the deck he
found his wife and children, and in the
colonel who had borne him away he rec
ognized his friend and Carl Schuizin a
new disguise. The dragoons, it is need
less to ay, were also confederates in the
plot. Kinkel has since resided in England
and France, unable to revisit his own
country ; but Carl Schurz has since then
been back at leisure and without disguise
to his birthplace, unmolested by any one
for thougli a condemned felon, he was a
diplomatic representative of one of the
aost powtrful of natrons, and bore as a
safeguard a commission signed by Abra
ham Lincoln.

When John Drown, D. D., first settled in
Ilsddinglon, Scotland, the people of his
parish gave him a warm and enthusiastic
reception ; only one of the members of
that large church and congregation stood
out In opposition to him.- The reverend
doclor tried all the means in his power to
convert the so'iiary dissenter to unity of
feeling which pervaded the whole body,
but all his efforts to obtain an interview
proved abortive. As Providence directed,
howeverlhey happened one day to meet
in tti street, when the doctor held out hu
hand, saving, " My brother, I understand
you are opposed to my settling at Had
dington." " Yes, sir," rf plied the parish
ioner. " Well, and if it be a fair question
on what grounds da you object to me ?"
" Because, sir," rjuoth he, " I don t think
you are qualified to fill so eminent a post."
That is just my opinion," replied the
doctor; "but what, 6ir, is the use of you
and me setting up our opinions in opposi
tion to a whole parish?" The brother
trailed and '.heir friendship was sealed for
tver. " A soft answer turnetli away
wrath."

A school committee writes: "We
bive a school house large enough to ac
commodate four hundred pupils four stories
high."
Mrs. Partington asks, tery indignant-
ly.if the bills before Congress are not coun
terfeit, why there should be so much dim
culty in passing them.
fortunate steamer City of Norwich, which
was run into, disabled, and afterward con
utned by fire Wednesday morning, Apiil
18th, gives a detailed account of the event,
by which ten persons lost their lives.
" Mr. Tracy tUtes that about half past
three o'clock on Wednesday morning.while
the steamer was pursuing her regular
course, just opposite Huntington, L. I., he
perceived, about one thousand feet from
his port side, the shade of a dun I ght on
the sail of schooner coming toward the
City of Norwich. He immediately hove
the wheel to portend slowed speeJ,stopped,
and then backed the boat. But the sailing
vessel continued straight ahead, and with
terrible force struck the City of Norwich
in her forward gangway, on the port side,
tearing away the guards, and staving in
her sides, sinking herself shortly after
ward. He immediately blew three whis
tles, as a sienal of distress to any vessels
that mi-bt be in sight, or hearing distance
and endeavored to turn the head of the
vessel toward Huntington beach, distant
about two miles and a half, confiding in the
strength of the forward water-tight bulk
head to keep the boat afloat until she could
be run ashore. She careened, however,
to port, and could not be managed. By
this time Dassenaers and crew were all
aroused, and came trom tneir ojnns nau
clad, and trembling with fear.
In the meantime the waters continued to
rush into the aperture made by the sailing
vessel, and, in about ten minuies from the
time of the collision, reached the lower
furnaces, causing the burning coals to pe
thrown on the decks and limber work of
he steamer. In the twinkling of an eye
the t ii"ine room was one mass of flames.
With wonderful rapidity they spread to
the upper decks, and enveloped the fore
part of the vessel.
At this moment the confusion and con
sternation among the passengers and crew
utterly defy description. Captain Sturgis
and his officers seized hold of whatever
life preservers they could catch from the-
flames and distributed them among the
persons on deck. The crew had become
unmanageable, and the captain's orders
for the safety of the passengers were not
heeded. Huddled logeiher at the stern
of the vessel, ea- h or.e intent on saving
himself, regardless of what fate might be
fall faia neighbor, Ue rearwrtnefcen men and
women stood regarding the slow but sure
appioach of the roaring flumes to the only
part of the vessel ttiRt yet remained intact.
Some, preferting to risk life at the mercy
of the waves, did not wait till forcetl into
the water by the fiery element, but plung
ed inlo the surging billows and seized hold
of whatever straw seemed to h ld out a
hope of safety. The screeches of the two
or three women on board rent the air witlj
terrible shrillness, and the men stamped
and cried, and prayed and cursed; while
oihers, utterly overcome by fear, sank down
on the siein sheets, or slid over the guards
listless and half dead before dying. In
ibe meantime, by the en rtions of the more
pollected portion of the crew and passen
gers, the only life-boat that could be laid
hold of was lowered, and scarcely had she
touched the water before the flames came

er, forcing those who yet remained on
board to jump off, or let go their gra-p
from the timbers near the stern and rud
der. The affrighted men and women in the
water.some with life preservers and others
floating on boxes and boards, now made
for the life-boat, and in an instant she was
sunk to the level of the water by the num
ber of those who endeavored lo crawl over
her sides. The captain and (he pilot did
all in thair power to keep the crew in sub
jection, and, as they struggled and fought
to get into the boat, begged them to hang
by the Bides and not get Into her and all
would be saved. Hut words were una
vailing. The men tore at each other like
madmen and struggled to raise themselves
into the already filled boat. At last, struck
by a heavy wave, the boat swamped and
everybody was thrown into the water.
All eflorts to right her prove fruitless, and
duiing those awful few moments more
thaii one went down to rise no more. The
scene that was now presented by the burn
ing vessel and her surroundings was terri
ble in the extreme. The flames from the
Ciiy of Norwich lit up the Sound for
miles around, revealing a mot appalling
sight. For over a quarter of a mile, on
every side, the waters were covered with
burning brxes and bales of all descrip
tions, amid which the struggling drowning
ones, the swimmers, and those with life-
nreserver?. were endeavoring to sustain
r '
themselves.
At the moment that the flames first shot
op through the decks of the Norwich, the
propeller Electra, from Providence, was
about a mile or a mile and a half astern
nf the doomed vessel. As the whistle
sounds of distress reached her, and the
flames broke out on board the city of Nor

boat toward the scene' of the disaster,
while the men were put to work in cutting
loose the two life-boats on the decks. Be

Two boats were manned ari l lowered and
sent off to the rescue of the men and wo
men struggling In the water. A third
boat wa-i alfO got in readiness and shoved
off by volunteers from among the passen
gers. These three boat picked up every
person that could be found in the water,
and returned to the Electra In safety ; and
for three hours after a boat was kept mov
ing around the place of the accident, in
hope of picking up some helpless unfortu
nate. ' The greater number of those saved
were so exhausted by exposure in the cold
water, and so overcome by the trying
scenes through which they had passed,that
restoratives had lo be given them, and in
several cases ' rubbings were resorted to
tb restore consciousness to the almost life
extinct sufferers.
Among the passengers on board the
City of Norwich was the wife of Mr. Sam
uel C. Osgood of Norwich, and her son, a
lad of about twelve years of age. At the
moment when the flames were burning
fiercely at the fore part of the boat, he
stood on the guards, wearing a life-preserver.
Mr. George Howe, another passen
ger, bid him several times to jump into the
water, but he refused, preferring to risk
his life amid the flames to the last moment.
The lutter gentleman felt inclined 10 push
him overboard when he jumped himself;

boy be drowned, he left him where he
Mood. He was never seen afterward.
How he became separated from bis moth

must have lost Ms life-preserver when
jumping off the boat, and, being unable to
swim, netished in the waves. Hi mother
was seen floating about, sustained by a life
preserver, calling pileously for her son.
The cries of anguish of the poor woman
went to the heart ot all who heard her,
and, when saved, she refused lo be con
soled, and continued to call again and
again on the name of the little fellow who
was quietly slumbering in ' the cradle 6f
the deep.' The pilot, Mr. Tracy, who
swam past her once or twice, said he had
been a seaman for thirty years, and had
seen many sorrowing sight-, but those at
tendant upon this disaster eclipsed them
all in the awfulness of their appalling hor

Vhe Boston Medical and Surgical Jour
nal of the 27th ult. has a long article on
this snl'ject, investigating the matter sci
entifically, from which we take the follow
ing extract t . -
It being established that man gets ihi
disease from swine, these investigation.
have been directed to the source of infec
tion in the latter animal. Many imma
ture round worms hove beea found in
animals and accused of being trichina),
but more careful examinations and experi
ments bave subsequently proved their in
nocence, Among these are to be mention
tioned worms found in moles, frogs, insects
and angleworms, upon which swine are
known to feed. .Even vegetables have
been laid under suspicion, and particularly
little nematoid worm which infests the
bed-root, but this too was found to be zoo
logically distinct. Statements bave also
been made that beef is not free from tri
china?, but there is no grounds whatever
for such reports, and the same may be said
of the flesh of birds like ducks, geese 'and
pigeons which might receive infection by
means of the intestinal discharges of the
trichinous animal, for it has been found
impossible to reproduce them by artificial
feeding.
It may be safely stated that the only
natural occurence of trichinae is practically
limited to tbe ho, although they may be
accidentally developed in the cat and rat,
and artificially in the rabbit There can
also be little doubt that the disease is kept
up between tbe two former precisely as
the tape worm continues to exi-t. I Man,
we know, gets trichinosis by eating trichi
nous poik, but how can the bog, who does
not eat man, become in turn infected? He
cannot eat (he eggs of tiichinte as he does
those of tienia, because there are none to
eat, that is, the worm is viviparous, and
the young, we know, remain within the hu
man host. Without doubt, however, many
of the mature females escape from the in
testines after impregnation, and in this
way are eaten by swine. It is well known
that when the diarrhoea is severe, during
the first stBges of an attack of the disease
the patient is not so severely affected a.
others wire bave partaken of the same
po-k, and this is due to the escape of th
parasi'e before the young are born in great
quantity, and such persons, not sick enough
to keep the houe, and discharging their
excrements at large, are the probable
sources of infeetinn ln s ine. ItT has, I
fact, been noticed by Virchow, that ' epi
demics succeed each other nt regular in
tervals. After infect in j rhi-mselves in the
way just described, the swine are not again
killed until the next general slaughtering
season comes, when another follows, to be
succeeded by others after a sin-ilar inter-
al. It may also be pos.-ible that portions
of trichinous flesh may pass through the
human intestine unchanged and thus be
eaten by oilier animals, or that rats may
eat it or'ginally, or io the di juctiorn ff
man, and be subsequently eaten themselves
by gwine. We have seen that dogs cannot
be made trichinous by eating diseased flesh,
but they may discharge tbe contents of
their intestines, containing partially devel
oped trichina!, where Bwine have access to
them ; and lastly, it is hot impossible that
swine may infect each other by intestinal
(richiua? alone. ...
It is a question of importance how long
this entozoon may retain its vitality in the
tissues, and be capable of transmitting the
disease to man. Among the cases which
ave been carefully investigated in Ger
many as bearing upon this point, is one
communicated to Vircbow's Arcbiv, which
possesses peculiar interest as having orig
inated in this country. In 1851, a woman
was admitted tu the Altona hospital with
a cancer of the breast of twelve years'
standing, which was removed, and strange
to say, on microscopic inspection, found to
contain a considerable number of trichinte.
This led to an inquiry, which gave the fol
lowing information : In 1856 she. was re
siding in the city of Davenport, Iowa,with
her brother, and was taken suddenly ill
with gastric and rheumatic symptoms, to
gether with oedema and partial paralysis.
Convalescence was very protarcted, and
she never recovered the free use . of her
fingers at the piano. Her brother was at
tacked with similar symptoms at tbe same
time, but they were much leas severe.
After her death at the hospital in 16G4,
many of the muscles were found to eon-
tain encysted trichins, the capsules being
very cretaceous. ' Portions of this tissue
were given to a eat which was kept In
confinement, and after its death on tbe
sixteenth day its muscular system was
found crowded with free trichinae of vari
ous sizes, all within the enlarged tubes of
the sarcolemma. There seems to be no
doubt that this was a case in which the
trichinae remained alive seven or eight
years, and were capable of reproducing
the disease after this long hybernation.
Virchow relates another case still more
remarkable, where the worms were living
after 13 year, and" on being removed
from their cretaceous prisons moved ac
tively when placed in the sun, and were
found capable of reproduction within tbe
intestinal canal of a rabbit. As to the pe
riod at which tbe capsules are formed with
in the Aarculemma, or when the cretaceous
formation begins, nothing definite is known.
Trichinoois U no Dew disease. It i
ed, as the abov eases show, many year ,
ago, nod it is undoubtedly as old as vtha
habit of pork eating ; we are only begin
ning to reeogrtu, it. In certain Prt of
Europe where raw pork is largely eaten ; ,
in the form of ham and sausages, anJ
"here the habits of swine and their keep
ers are not very unlike, there is ample p-.
portunity afforded for its spread and fr-,
qiient occurrence. The most eareful at-
tention, however, will not prevent the ao- f
ci Jen tal Infection of these animals, as the
hUtory of some of the eoidemica illustrate.
x Unfortunately, the disease is latent in them,
producing no symptoms which cause ita
presence to be suspected, and the appear
ance of the flesh after death are not such ,
as to attract attention. It can otily be , '
recognized by its effects on those who un-...
warily eat it, or by microscopic examina- .
tion. -
In some parts of Germany government
obliges all pork to be inspected by an ap-
poiuted person, before it is sold, and even '
the ' butchers are forming associations
among themselves for tbe same purpose,
nd are learning the use of the microscope,
the present horror of pork affording leis
. ure for such studies. . Tbe inspection, how.
ever, stioutd never be Intrusted to an in-
competent observer, and should be thcr-.'
oughly performed. One of the latest cases
of the disease in Prussia was produced by
eating flesh which bad passed examina
tion, and subsequent investigation showed
that only a portion of the shoulder had
been sent for examination., and that other
parts were abundantly infected. It has
been found that tbe muscles contain most
trichins nearest their attachments, and
that in ham they occur in greatest numbers'
in these parts about the lower leg. Eve- i
ry hog should be examined in at least five
places before it can be pronounced clean,
for the parasites are sometimes distributed
in a most unequal manner. In Brunswick
out of 20,000 swine examined hut two
wer found trichinous, but it will be re
membered that each of the two epidemics
in Germiny were caused by eating tha
flesh of or.e animal alone, but these two
animals caused the sickness of 500, and
the death of over one hundred persons.
" Not tub Lord, bct BwiicofNE."
The Rev. James Gallagher used to tell the
following anecdote with great zest : Dur
ing the revolutionary war, reports were
circulated as they are now, either wholly
fal.-.e or greatly exaggerated. In passing
from one tu another, something woe sure
lo b- addud, until the story would hardly
be known to the author of it. The people
in certain sections of New Yoik were in
great consternation from a report that
Biiruoyne was marching down from the
lakes with un immense army, and going to
sweep over Ihewhole couiitrJLringing
utter desolation lo the inhabitants. An old
lady heard the report, and understood it
that Burgoyne was to open tha lakes and
let tbe water out, and drown lite whole re
gion. -Full of the terrible vision, she ran
to a neighbor's to tell the latest news about
the war. " Do you know that we are go
ing to be drowned ? " Burgoyne is going
to let the water out of the lakes, and
make a great flood and we shall all be
drowned. Oh 1 what sha'l we do ? Her
neighbor, with more intelligence and mora
piay. did not seem to bo greatly disturb
ed, hut calmly replied : " That certainly
must be a mistake. It cannot he true, for
God has promised in his word that he wIU
no more destroy the inhabitants of th
earth with a flood." " Ah, honey I I know
that, but it's not the Lord who is going to
doit it is Burgoyne!"
Traitorous Instioations. The New
York Daily News, the unwavering organ
of the rebel element, is urging President
Johnson to secure the admission of the
Southern delegations t" Congress by tbe
exercise of force. It cays that a day ougbt
to be fixed (by the President, of course,)
for these Southern delegates to take their
seats.' If this process is not quietly as
sented to, then " let the President send a
detachment of Federal troops to preserve
order in the Capitol" that is, to compel
lhe reception of the Southern members by
force of arms. The News expressly tells
the President, referring to his difference
with Congress on this point : " Your rem-
;edy is force against fraud f action against
conspiracy.- These diabolical suggestions
may derive a shadow of support from the
story published in a Memphis ; paper res
pecting the President's avowed intention
to secure the admission of the Southern
delegations i but that intention, even if ex
pressed, which is doubtful, eould never
have been associated with the hideout pro
gramme foreshadowed by the News." The
only purpose, Indeed, for which we repro
duce this is to show that the old poison of
treason is still unchanged and is still cir
culating at the North. It win only yield
to the steady abhorrence of the people and
to tbe dissolving effect of time. ' ',
