Sk Jkrai -Mfelilti Pauli tiriti flcmocrat.NEW SERIES—a*». | PLACERYILLE, EL UOKADO CO., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1860. I WHOLE No. 365.
Originof “ Th, U»y Marc the BetterHorae.*’
A London citizen married n lady withface arid fortune, and found in a veryshort time that he had got the worst ofthe bargain, so that he was resolved topart from her. Accordingly he went tothe lady's father and told him he foundhis daughter of such a temper, and wasso heartily tired of her that if he wouldtake her home again he would return ev-ery penny of tier fortune. The old gen-tleman having inquired into the cause ofhis complaint asked him why he shouldhe more disquieted than other marriedmen, since it was the common case withthem all, and consequently no more thanhe ought to have expected when he enter-ed into the married slate. The younggentleman desired to lie excused ; he saidhe was sò far from giving assent to thisassertion that he thought himself moreunhappy than any other man, as his wifewould ride over a man, and was nut to liequelled; and no man who hud a sense ofrigid and wrung would submit to he gov-erned hy his wife. “My son," said the oldUlan, “ thou little knuwest the world, andthat aH women mlc over their husbands,though not all, indeed, after the samefashion, However, to end all disputesbetween us, I will put wind I have saidon lids proof, if you are willing to try it :
I have live horses in my stable; you shallharness three lo a cart, in w Inch I shallput a basket and one hundred eggs, andif, in passing through the country andlinking a strict inquiry into the truth orfalsehood of my assertion, and leaving ahone at the house of every man who ismaster of his family himself, and an eggonly wlien the w ile governs, you limi youreggs gone before your horses, I hope youw ill give it in, and remain content withyour lot. 11, on the other hand, yourhorses are gone first, I will take mydaughter home again, and you shall keepthe money.”
This proposition being agreeable, theyoung man ied man started with greatglee upon his lour of discovery lo “getshut" as he thought ol his horses and hiswile. At the first house he came to heheard a woman with a shrill, angry voicecall to her husband ami order him to thedoor. Here he dropped Ids egg, and atthe next, and meeting with something ofthe same kind at every house, he soon be-gan to get short of eggs. At last he ar-rived at the seat of a gentleman of familyand ligure in the country, and inquiiingfor the master, was told’ hy the servantthat lie was not yet stirring, hut if hepleased to walk in my lady was in theparlor, “The lady, with great cnulplai-saner, desired him to he seated, and saidif his business was very urgent she wouldarouse her lord, hut hud much rather notdisturb him. “ Why, really, madam,”said he, “my business is only to ask aquestion, which you can resolve as wellas your husband, if you will he ingeniouswith me. You will, doubtless, think itodd, and it may he deemed impolite (orany one, much more a stranger, to asksuch a question ; but as a very consider-atile wager dept mis upon it, it may besum,' advantage toyourself to dcclar*- Ibetrulli lo ine, I hope tinse considerati inswill plead my excuse. It is, madam, todesile to be informed whether yon governyour husband or lie governs you." “Indeed, sir," replied the lady, “this ques-tion is somewhat odd: but’ ns I think noone ought to be ashamed of their duly, 1shall make no scruple to say that 1 havealways been proud to obey my husbandin all things ; but if a w oman’s own wordis to be suspected in such a esse, I, t himanswer for me, for here he comes."
The gentleman at that moment enteredthe room, and after some apologies, beingmade acquainted with the business, con-tinued every word his obedient wife hadreported in her own favor; upon whichhe was invited to select which horse inthe team he liked best and accept it as apresent. A black gelding struck the fancyof the gentleman most; but the lady de-sired that he would choose tile gray mare,which she thought would he very lit fol-lici' Mile-saddle; Inr husband gave sub-stantial reason why the black one wouldhe most useful to them, but my lady siilipersisted in her claim, and stuck tu thegray marc like a burr. “ Wbal !" saidshe. "and will you not take her then?But I say you shall, for I am sure Ibegray mare is much lini better horse."—
Well, my dear," replied the husband,“if it must be so !" “ You musttake an egg," replied the young gentle-man. “ Carter and I must take all iny.nags hack again."
Sudden Ili-storni Inn to Life.A well-known perfuinerin New Orleans,«lied—so it was thought—and Ids funeral
was arranged, but his body remaining su-|de mul warm, the ceremony was post-poned, the physician thinking he mighthe in a trance. This reminds the NewOrleans J'irni/inie of a case w hich may besimilar:—A gentleman of wealth andstanding, recently married to a charmingwife, tell sick, andafteru few days’ illnessapparently breathed his last. The bodywas laid out, not dressed and uncovered,but sewed up in a sheet or shroud. Theoccurrence had taken place during theday, and at a late hour in the night, thefamily retired, and a conlidential servantnamed Alexander was left alone to watchthe corpse. This man was sitting limi-tile bed when he thought he heard a sigh ;there was no mistake, he distinctly hearda heavy breathing, and saw a slight mo-tion of the body.
W itli remarkable presence of mini), hesplit Open ttie sheet, arranged it as if itwere the usual covering of the sick man,blew out the lights, leaving only one bur-ning, and in fact took every precaution toprevent his master, if he awoke, from be-ing shocked at the idea id’lds supposeddeath, lie then sat down by the bedsideand waited anxiously. Presently the deadman moved, yawned audibly, and, look-ing around, asked, “Alexander, whattime is it ?" “ Near twelve o'clock, sir."“ bring me a broth.”
The faithful Alexander went nut of theroom, called a male member of the family,and broke the news cautiously, lie thenouh red the rook to gi t a broth, and re-lurnctl to his master's chamber, wherethe now overjoyed family soon assembled.The gentleman recovered, and it was onlyafter be got quite well that he was toldthat he had been dead for eight hours.—His eldest daughter used to say that shewas the child of a ghost, having beenborn during the year succeeding her fa-ther’s temporary demise.
A Look at tht DmATlie scenes at the Coroner’s room new
by where the fatal disaster happened tothe Lady Elgin, on Lake Michigan, arethus graphically described by an eye-witness ;
“The appearance of the bodies as theywere taken from the water was appalling.In the coroner’s room, at the court house,and at the depots at Evanston and Win-etke, the bodies lay upon the Doors, brui-sed and disfigured, with their clothingtorn from them, and a crowd of relativesand the eager spectators surroundingthem.
“ There were gray haired men, matu-red women, youth and infancy; some withfaces which seemed but sleeping, theywere so calm and white ; others distorted,swollen and blackened ; some clad in richgarments, and others in rags and shreds—all that remained from that terriblestruggle. One sweet little child whoselife numbered scarce half a dozen sum-mers, had smiled in dying, and even indeath that smile played around her beau-tiful lips. Here is a lair young girl cutoff in the pride of youth and hope; there
of time bad sprinkled its early snows.—Youth and infancy, age and strong armedmanhood, slept siile hy side the sleep ofeternity. It was a dreadful picture of thedestroyer—such an one as no living eyecan behold without feeling the presenceof Him who holdeth in his hand the des-tinies of all of us.
“Turning from the dead to the living,and the picture of this awful disaster wascomplete in its most terrible aspect. Allaround were hundreds of anxious, excitedmen and women, striving to get a sight ofthe ih ad. As they approached, friendsgazed at the distorted features, striving torecognise tlie well known countenance ofsome one who was known to he amongthe lost. Parents sought fur their chil-dren, sisters fur brothers, and .brothers(or sisters. The anguish which followedthe recognition cannot be described.—Stalwart men were seen to how down andsoh like children over the lifeless forms oftheir -offspring, while gentler women pavetears even for the sorrows of others. Theagonies of death were as nothing to thosewlio died, compared with the anguish ofthe living hearts that loved them.”
Simulated Death.The old superstition of “ turning in the
grove” is not altogether founded in error,hut like ninny popular beliefs, contains agerm of truth. Among the mysteriouslaws of our being which strike the mindwith wonder and awe, is the continuanceof tile under conditions in which it wouldseem to be inevitably extinguished. Oftenafter neatly all the signs of animationhave disappeared for a considerable time,the patient has unexpectedly and sud-denly revived.
Many instances are onrecord, in which,but for the presence of an experiencedmedical man, persons afflicted with cata-lepsy, hysteria, and various obscure ner-vous derangements, would have been con-signed to oils of the most dreadful formsof death, by being entombed olive. Dr.{sough gives an interesting example ofthis in one of his female patients. Theattendants were greatly alarmed, and saidshe was dying or in a trance. She laymotionless, and apparently devoid of ani-mation. Her eyes were fixed and glassy.No heaving of thu chest ; no movementof the air passages, indicated respiration.The only signs of life was her warmthand her,pulsc, the latterbeing very weak.
The body being raised so ns to form anobtuse angle with the limbs, her thin andpallid frame looked like n corpse whichhad been propped up, and had been stiff-ened in that attitude. One arm was raisedby thè attendants, and then the other,each remaining marble-like where it wasfixed. She was placed upright, and vainendeavors were made to arouse her bycalling loudly in iter ears. As site stood,stalue-likc and unconscious, with eyeswide open and arms outstretched, theslightest tondi put Iter oil' her balance.She would have fallen had she not beensupported. This strange *• life in death”defied a!) treatment and lasted for four-teen hours. Other attacks followed oftwelve and nine hours' duration, afterwhich site recovered by tbe use of suita-ble restoratives. Such attacks were ofmuch longer duration, and if deprived ofthe aid and protection of medical science,tins woman would probably have been ina short time invested in her shroud, andwould have added one additional victimto that popular ignorance and indecoroushate which have so often, especially intonili climates, and in times of pestilence,mistaken the temporary suspension oforganic functions for man's lust dreadenemy, death.

A (itimi Family to Maukyix.—The ag-gravated ease which occurred near De-troit, Mieli., a short time since, wherebya female received tar and feathers and aride on a rail, has terminated less tragic-ally than was expected. The woman,who was taken from the bed of one (ia-nnng and mercilessly abused, has com-promised by marrying the aforesaid (.la-ming, thus legalizing the existence oftwoor three children. Two daughters by aformer wife, who were aiders and abettorsin the outrage, took her in hand as soonas she came lumie from the wedding, and,according to all accounts, nearly poundedher to death. She fought and kicked,but tlic young women were strappingspecimens, and used their fists and nailsto such advantage that she was left horsilti coinhiit, nearly as badly off ns after thetar and feather adventure. What a de-lightful state ol domestic bliss that familymust enjoy !

“ My Fkiend," said a hotel-keeper to anover-voracious boarder, “you eat so muchthat I shall have to charge you nn extrahalf-dollar.” Replied the boarder—hiscountenance the very picture of pain;“ For (lod’s sake don't do that I lam al-most dead now eating three dollars worth,and if you put on nn extra half dollar Ishall burst certain."
Not Imphoiiaiii.e.—An exchange tells ofa suicide having been found in the woodswhere he had been hanging by the neckthree or four days. The careful journaladds that “ life was extinct."
“ Did you ever know such a mechanicalgenius as my son?" said an old lady.“ He lias made a Hddlc out of his ownhead, and has wood enough for another."
