A STRANGE STORY. A strange story I even for New York city,' comes over the wire. A year ago there died in a miserable attic on Bleecker street, a half clad half starved and half cracj, an old man who for twenty-five y ears had been a beggar. For years he had been estranged from his family, and he was buried by charity. His name was James Henry Pain, and he was a grand nephed of Robert Treat Pain, who sigued the Declar ation of American Independence. He had been well bred' and educa ted. At the end of a year from his death, Mr. Charles Chickeriug, the piano manufacturer, whose acquain tance rain sought years ago, turougut lns love oi music, came last Wednesday into the Surrogate Court of .New lork, and told on oatb the folio wing story : WITAT TTIE GREEX BUNDLE COX- TAIN ED. The little old. green bundle re mained hidden in 'the safe gather ing dust and forgotten for years After the old , man's death Air Chickering remembered the pack age, and took it out of its place one day to" see if it contained anything worth keeping. I had supposed it coutaiped nothing more than some old musical pacers" continued he,, t and carelessly untied , the string. Tearing open one corner I caught? sight of a roll of bank bills It seemed to me in the hasty glimpse I caught that they must.amount to many thousands of dollars. I tied the handkerchief together qnickly nd took the next train .for Boston o see Eobert Treat Pain, whom I thought was the nearest living rela tive. He said that there were nearer heirs at law than he, and he named the Claggetts. On the 1st of March, in the presence of Sum ner and Charlie Claggett, and my attorney, we opened the packet. Gold and silver dollars, bank notes by the thousand, certificates, of stock and script rolled cTut upon the table. The little old green handkerchief for nearly twenty years had closely guarded treasures amounting to over $400,00. About 14,000 has become outlawed. The 40,000 which the certificates rep resented has been paid up to me as administrator ,by the Metropolitan Bank. - "The remainder of the property is worth its full face value. Then is more property which is not yet col lected." : - "I knew James Henry Pain for years before he died. I was, brought into communication with him through his love for music. He was an expert ''musical critic and this poor old miser had at his tongue's end a wealth of inexhaus tible information, But though , I had heard that he was popularly supposed to have money hidden away, I never really knew anything about it. One day he came into my office with a bundle in his hand. This is the bundle," pointing to the package beside him. "It was about a foot long and six or eight inches wide. It was wrapped up in an ordinary brown paper and tied with an ordinary string; On the outside was carefully bound an old green handkerchief. He asked if he could eave it in . my possession and I answered 'yes J told him I would put it in my safe. He ob jected to this and asked me if , I had a private safe at home which hone of my employes ever opened, I said 'yes, again, and he carelessly replied that he would like me to place it there. v . I took the bundle and locked it up, scarcely ever giving tbe'matter a thought since, years afterward, I met him in the street, and ,we were talking about Von Bulow, the pianist, who had recent! y arrived m the country! Suddenly inter rupted rne and asked me if that package was all right. I said 'yes and hfdidn't allude to it apt n. In fact, I think he never spoke oi it avin bi life-... TO ABOLISH lIAitaiWa. ?

YV) telerram avs : i The report of the Capital Punish-! meni worn mission wiu Depresentea . a. ri . ? o the Legislature on Tuesday next. Mr. Elbndge T. Gerry, q has uecn in jvarorie lor some tune, ca bled his coadjutor that in case he could not return in time to' confer with them they should makel, pre liminary report and askjfo? further time. Dr. Southwick of this city. another member of the commiseion left for Albany yeiterday to meet S Mr. Matthew Hale, the third mem ( ber. Before his departure Dr. Southwick was asked what the re sult of the Commission's labors would be. He replied : ; "The weight of opinions expressed in the replies received bj the Com mission in the circular sent out to prominent lawyers, jttdgra and oth ers m tne btate, askiner their views on the subject is against hanging ana m lavor of electricity. The report, therefore, will be in favor of the adoption of some electrical ap paratus for executions. That is the end toward- which I have been working for six years, and if the re port of our Commission does not culminate in the passage of a bill abolishing hanging I shall begin to think that I hav-e been working in vain. I bav noticed that the bill introduced in our Legislature last year was copied in Paris and a sim ilar one has been introduced by a Frenchman in the Legislative body of France. Germany has taken up the question, and 1 have just read that in New Jersey attention has been called to our agitation of the matter. I wish that the Empire State would take the initiative step toward a broad luminary. The only argument that can be brought in favor of hanging is that it is of deterrent effect, but I maintain that a painless death would have just the same influence upon society if it were accomplished in secret. Let a pri sonar be confined in a State prison be removed from life pain lessly and secretly, without the hurrah aud sensation that attends a hanging." Southern States. The revelation of the immense undeveloped mineral resources of the Southern States, which is now beingTrrade gi vesasimmcetf -the tide of industrial activity- that is soon to stir the pulses. of this por tion of the country, and transform its character. : - The fact is beginning to be man ifested that mineral- products of wonderful variety &rid extent are scattered over a large portion of the Southern States, as . they are, in fact, throughout the whole of our richly endowed country. Not only gold silver, copper,. lead, mica, va rious precious stones, but stores of coal, iron, oil and gas in meboun tiful supply and excellent quality, are being discovered in jnany local-, ities where natural Vatiiger"give additional value. . The rapid move ment of investing capital in this di rection and the substantial charac ter of the improvem'ejufs shows that the advance, in a majority of cases, will be permanent. Possibly'Tf in the rapid occupation of artnew field, there may be sotne fljdctuations in the tide, but the final result will be an adjustment. to a solid arid pro gressive line ol steady growth and development.

Sixty young women were among the passengers, under the charge of some good bisters of ist. Joseph. They had been selected, . as one selects cattle, to be given as wives to the good donduct prisoners of Noumea. They were nearly all murderesses of husband, lover or child. One in a fit of passion had thrown her baby out of the port-hole during the voyage. Better ; perhaps that the infant should die innocent than that it should grow up and be the mother of a family of. criminals. The recidivistes are to be allowed to breed, but neither they nor their children are ever to be allowed to return to France. ; Where will the brood go but to the neighboring shores of Australia? It is little wonder that we have made an' out cry about this, and have demanded that the French and German rule should not be further extended in the South Seas, -the islands of which are our natural heritage. Sleep as a Mechanical Operation. A writer on 'the philosophy of sleep 'declares Ihafc - sleep is preven ted by an excess of blood in the brain, and proposes as a remedy to pump the blood back from the brain by a peculiar method of breathing, for which directions are given as follows : Having assumed the usual pos ture of sleep, the person is to inhale slowly and steadily long breaths, devoting the whole attention to making the inhalations and exhala tions exactly the same length the length to be much greater than that of ordinary breating, although not sufficient to disturb the circulation by working the ltlngs to the utmost capacity. In support of this theory ieference is mads to. the: feeling of rguyjess produced - by filling the lungsStheair they will hold and then, expeecTTK the operation rapidly three oi hiuarfi the resulting f ai ntness leverage uted to the withdrawal of the b. also from the brain, and the same effect', substantially, follows any; sudden and extreme emotion. So violent a disturbance of the system,' bow ever, is not advised for the purpose here nought, but a steady and grad ual diversion of the blood from the brain to the lungs and body. New York Tribune. " A Veteran Locomotive. One of the oldest locomotives now in active service is the "General" of the TVestern "and, Atlantic Rail road. This is the engine which was captured bj twenty-two Feder al soldiers in disguise, on April 12, and with which they attempted to escape from Big Shanty, up the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and and burn, the bridges on ' the line between that poi nt and Chattanooga. The "General was also directly un der fire of the Federal batteries in the great battle of Kenesaw Moun tain, June 27, 18C4.

'A' "NEW JOKE UY VANCE. What lie Had to Say cm tho Coramerc!al XeayHIrH W4 UV WUUIT . Senator Vance is the etory telle of the Senate, and seldom attends meeting of the committee on finance of which he is a member, without illuminating ths ductmions on the Ur iff and the surplus with a few U- lustrationf drawn from life. Tho subject of the tariff was under con sideration the other day and Mii ! Morrill had a good deal to say aboat the 'comnercial necrf sitics of the country." Then Senator Beck took it np, and he also talked about the "commercial necessities of the country."' Then it was Vance's turn, and be said he had something to say about the "commercial tie tensities of the country' "There was a country " fair down in to? State," said the Senator, "and among ether stock entered for pre miums was the or'nariest looking hog yon ever saw. It had a back like a razor, legs like an antelope, and a snout like a dinner horn. There was not; an ounce of superflu ous flesh on the animal, and the committee on award, as well as the spectators wondered wkat on earth the beast was entered for. Of course the committee passed it by, and when tht premiums were award ed, an old cracker with a quid of cobacco as big as a rutabaga turnip in his cheek came to the headquar ters and asked for the commttioe on hogs. . Did you mis see that ar hog o! mine he asked. I reckon youuns didn't, er yorruns wouldn't a-give him the go-by "The chairman of the committeo told the old man they had seen the beast, and wondered what it was therefor. It was across between a wild-boar and a race horse, and they couldn't conscientiously give it a premium ns oither, ; I reckon youuns don't under stand the commercial necessities of this ere region, gents replied the old mon, 'er youuns 'Id a-een the good p'ints of that ar hog.
