FORTY-EIGHT YEARS IN BED. Tbs Sufferings of a Woman Who Ityared Her Spine in the Van iiuren Campaign. Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 27. —Almost a half century of suffering has imprinted sweetness and resignation in the face of a saintly-looking woman to whom the Christmas chimes on Thursday morning brought memories of this day fortyeight years ago, when she was last able to join in the merry festivities. Miss Elizabeth McAnancy, who lives in the household of James Coyle, on West Vine street, has long been the victim of an incurable affection of the spine. She says: “On Christmas day it was just fortyyears since I last went to church, and only_ a few months less since I arose from my bed.” In the presidential campaign of 1826 Patrick McAnaney owned a fertile farm in Leacock township, this county. lie had been a stnnch adherent of Old "Hickory, nnd looked upon Martin Van Buren as bis idol's legitimate successor in the presidency. He exerted himself to roll up a big vote for Little Van at the Leacock poll, and to that end invited the voters far and near to an apple butter belling at his home. The barrels of cider were placed in position. Patrick’s sixteen-year-old daughter Elizabeth saw that one of them was not quite high enough. She stooped and partly raised the barrel herself while her mother rearranged the planks. As the girl straightened herself, “the pain," she says, “flewinto my back.” Her spine was affected—not seriously, it was thought at tho time; but in the following September she took to her bed, and from that day to this has never risen from it unaided. Sho is absolutely powerless to get up, and w hen it is necessary to have her out of bed she is lifted.

Miss NlcAnaney’e sufferings never desert her, but she beat's them with tho greatest fortitu^''

Mrs. James Coyle, who has unfortunate ' upon the "she woman these many years, says that

suffers pain from head to foot every day; but she is very patient, never murmuring, and I think there never was any other one to suffer so much and complain so little.” Years ago Miss McAnaney spent much of her time in reading, but now her strength is too far gone to admit even of that. She loves to hear the bells of St. Mary's, and much of the little pleasure she extracts from life is duo to living adjacent to the Catholic Church, of which she is a member, where she can hear the music of its choir, the tolling of its bells and the troops of happy children daily playing about the doore of its parochial school, whose building stands on the site of the old stone structure wherein she last worshiped, as happy and light hearted ss they, just fortyeight years ago on Christmas morning. It. is thirty years since Patrick McAnaney sold his farm and removed his family—consisting of wife, one son and four daughters—to this city. All, with the exception of Elizabeth, were strong and sturdy, and it was little thought that the bedfast and incurable invalid would survive them; yet father, mother, brother and three sisters have all passed away, and she alone remains of that happy family, who, almost a half century ago, so busily bustled about in preparation of a Van Buren apple- butter boiling.

GEN. GRANT IN DISTRESS. All His Effects Liable To Re Sold to Satisfy the Vanderbilt Judgment. The General Confined to ILie Room by Illness Caused by Anxiety Over the Situation in Which He Finds Himself.

New York, Dec. 27.—An attorney who asserted that ho was acquainted with the facts, said to-day that an inventory had been taken of all General Grant's possessions, under the judgment entered against him in favor of William H. Vanderbilt, for $150,000 and interest, loaned when General Grant was trying to save the firm of Grant & Ward from failure. Tho inventory and executions under the judgment were taken, he said, to protect General Grant as well as Mr. Vanderbilt. The executions cover houses in Washington and Philadelphia, and farms near St Louis and Chicago. The farms alone are valued at $65,000 and $25,000 respectively, and with the other property, aro ample to secure Mr. Vanderbilt as Mrs. Graut joins with the General and gives up her life interest in the property mentioned. The inventory includes all the presents of weapons, brie a brae and rare articles made to tho General at different times by friends at home and potentates abroad, the swords and medals awarded him by Congress, his pictures and books, his relics of the war, and even the engrossed cards ordered struck to express the thanks of Congress. Gen. Sherman, in his visit here, learned of the possibility that Gen. Grant might lose all those articles; indeed, it is said that Gen. Grant called a council of war with his old comrade-in-arms over the situation. The result has been that steps have been taken to relieve the prem erty. Gen. Sherman left tho city to-day for Philadelphia and tvili afterward visit Washington. It is probable that he will continue there the work that ho begun here. Cyrus W. Field said to day: “Gen. Grant’s swords, medals and relics of the war may be sold at any moment under a mortgage to secure the debt of $150,000 which he borrowed from Mr. Vanderbilt to help the firm of Grant & Ward, and for which he lias confe ed judgment. This ought not to he. I recc ved a message from Gen. Sherman last nigh* informing me of the

fact. It was the first I new of it ing I went to see ’ morn.a.r. Vftnuerbnt about it and he

promised to throw off $60,000 of the total amount, which is now about $160,000 with inter est, if the remaining SIOO,OOO was paid. I have taken the matter in hand and think I shall have no difficulty in raising the money."

General Slierman to the Rescue. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 28. —General William T. Sherman, George W. Childs and A J. Drexel held a conference this afternoon, at the residence of General Sherman's sonin law, Lieutenant Thackara. The result of the conference was an engagement for the three gontlemen to lunch together to-morrow at Drexel's banking-house, for the purpose of discussing ways and moans to assist General Grant out of the pressing financial difficulties in which he has become involved under the judgment entered against him in tavor of Wm. H. Vanderbilt for $150,000 loaned General Grant when he was trying to save the firm of Grant & Ward from failure. General Sherman came here from New York, last night, for the purpose of consulting the gentlemen named on this subject

Talks with Beall, Van Vllet and Corcoran. Washington, Dec. 28.—A Republican reporter saw several prominent gentlemen of this city to-day with reference to the news received hero from New York that all General Grant’s personal property, including his swords and medals, presents received by him while abroad, his pictures, his two farms, and his houses in this eity and St. Louis, liad been inventoried and are to be sold to meet the judgment held against him by Wm. H. Vanderbilt Among the gentlemen interviewed were W. W.Corcoran, Gen. Beall and Gen. Van Viiet, alt old friends of General Grant General Beall said he had not heard any details of this storv. He was very much shocked when he read it; said he thought there was some mistake about it and finally that he did not believe it Ho said General Grant’s St Louis farm was sold three months ago for $59,000, its estimated value being $65,000, and that his farm in Illinois is virtually sold, and will bring its full value. $25,000. He said he had received a letter from General Grant, recently, in which the latter said he was in very poor health, and on Friday last he veceived one from Fred Grant, in which he said his father was confined to his room, and his condition w.:s such as to seriously alarm his family. General Beale added: "lt is iny belief that tli illness, which I oould not account for, Is cause l by his anxiety.” General Van Viiet said he had no doub! t

would bo found an easy matter to raise th: money necessary to clear away this judgment. He said Gen. Sherman was now in Philadelphia, aDd he added that he thought by the time General Sherman reached this city no will have at least $50,000 to pay off this judgment, even if that sum comes from the pockets of Mr. Dr -xel and Mr. Childs alone. Mr. Corcoran said he would not f , ta r t a subscription to relievo General Grant of this judgment, but would assist in prevenuug a sale of bis personal effects. He thought it would he dishonorable ia the poople of the United Stales if an ex Pres ! lent and soldier like General Grant should l*e obliged to sacrifice the trophies of his servicec to his countryjfor a few thousand dollars.

Deo. 28.—A peculiar sect, whoso headquarters are in Chicago, who believe solely in the efficacy of prayer in curing human ailments, has been discovered in Denver, mid creates considerable comment. Tho establishment is known as the ‘■Tabernacle of the Lord." and is conducted by W. T. \\ llliams, assisted by his wife and eoveral old ladies, who run something like ft foundlings home. Children who have been abandoned by parents, and other waifs of tender age, are taken in from

poor-house3, provided for’ until they become stout boys and girls, and then sent to a farm near Boueder belonging to the same sect The ideas of the people conducting this unique establishment are Utopian in sonio respects, and fanatic to a degree. A case occurred yesterday showing that their reliance had been misplncei A little waif named Dolly Ford, five months old, died after a short illness. In order to procure the neces sary certificate of cause of death a physician was called, who refused to sign the paper, he stating that the child died of inattention.

THE FIELD OF FREDERICKSBURG. Tile Terrible Sufferings that Followed a Day of Heroism. Boston Congregatlonalist. These are anniversarr days. Twenty-two years have passed since “Fredericksburg.” Os wbat then was, not much is left but memory. Faces and forms of men and things that then were have changed—perchance to dust. New life has covered some; the rest look but lingering farewells. But, whatever changes may beautify those storm-swept and barren slopes, there is one character from which they can never pass. Death gardens, haunted by glorious ghosts, they must abide. No bloom can there unfold which does not wear the rich token of the inheritance of heroic blood; no breeze be wafted that does not bear the breath of the immortal life there breathed away. Os all that splendid hut unavailing valor no one lias told the story; nor can I. The pen has no wing to follow where that sacrifice and devotion sped their flight. But memory rnay rest down on some night scenes too quiet and sombre with shadow to be vividly depicted, and yet which have their interest from very contrast with the tangled and lurid lights of battle.

The desperate charge was over. We had not reached the enemy's fortifications, but only th* <-rest where wo had <>- five lines

of battle mount but to be cut to earth as by a sword swoop of fire. We had that costly honor which sometimes fells to the "reserve'' —logo in when all is havoc and confusion, through storm and slaughter, to cover the broken and depleted ranks of comrades and take the battle from their hands Thns we had replaced the gallant few still struggling On the crest, and received that withering fire, which nothing could withstand, by throwing ourselves flat in a slight hollow of the ground, within pistolshot of the enemy's works, and. mingled with the dead and dying that strewed the field, we returned the fire till it reddened into night, and at last fell away through darkness and silence. But out of that silence from the battle’s crash and roar arose new sounds more appalling still; rose or fell, you knew not which, or whether from the earth or air—a strange ventriloquism, of which you could not locate the source—a smothered moan that seemed to come from distances beyond reach of the natural sense—a wail so far, and deep, and wide, as if a thousand discords were flowing together into a key-note, weird, unearthly, terrible to hear and bear, yet startling with its nearness—the writhing concord broken by cries for help, pierced by shrieks

of paroxysm—some begging for a drop of water, some calling on God for pity, and some on friendly hand3 to finish what the enemy had so horribly begun—some with delirious, dreamy voices murmuring loved names, as if the dearest were bending over them—some gathering their last strength to fire a musket to call attention to them where they lay, helpless and deserted—aud underneath, all the time, that docp bass note from closed lips too hopeless or too heroic to articulate their agon y. Who could sleep, or who would! Our position

was isolated and exposed. Officers must bo on the alert with their command. But the human took the mastery of the official; sympathy of soldiership. Command could be devolved, but pity not So, with a staff officer, I sallied forth to see what we could do where the helpers seemed so few. Taking some observations in order not to lose the bearing of our own position, we guided our steps by the most piteous of the cries. Our part was but little—to relieve a painful posture; to give a cooling draught to fevered lips; to cempress a severed artery, as we had learned to do, though in a bungling fashion; to apply a rude bandage, which yet might prolong the life to saving; to take a token or farewell message for some stricken home. It was but little, vet it was an endless ta3k. We had moved toward the right and rear of our own position— tho part of the field immediately above the city. The further we went the more the need deepened and the calls multiplied. Numbers, half wakoning from the lethargy of death or of despair by sounds of succor, begged us to take them quickly to a surgeon, and when we could not do that,

imploring us to do tho next most merciful service and give them quick dispatch out of their misery. Right glad wore wo when, after midnight, the shadowy ambulances came gliding along, and the kindly hospital stewards, with stretchers and soothing appliances, let us feel that we might return to our proper duty. And now we were aware ot other figures wandering, ghost-like, over the field. Some on errands like our own, drawn Uy compelling appeals; some seeking a lost comrade with uncertain steps amid the unknown, nnd|ever and anon b ending down to scan the pale visage eloser, or, it may be, by the light of a brief match, whose blue, tlickering dame could scarcely give the features a more recognizable or more human look; some man, desperately wounded, yet seokiug, with faltering step, before his fast ebbing blood shall have left him too weak to move, some quiet or sheltered spot out of sound of the terrible

appeuls be could neither answer nor endure, or out of reach of the raging battle coming with the morning; one crespiug, yet scarcely moving, from one lifeless form to another if, perchance, he might find a swallow of water in the canteen still swung from tho dead soldier's side; or another, as with just returning or just remaining consciousness, vainly striving to rise from a man pled heap that he may not be buried with them while yet alive, or some man, yet sound of body, but pacing feverishly his ground because in such a bivouac his spirit could not sleep. And so we picked our way back amid the stark, upturned faces to our little living line.

The night chill had now woven a misty veil over the field. Fortunately a picket fence we had encountered in our charge from the town had compelled us to abandon our horses, and so had saved our lives on the crest; but our overcoats had been strapped to the saddles, and we missed them now. Most of tho men, however, bad their overcoats or blankets. We were glad of that. Except the few sentries along the front, the men had fallen asleep —tho hying with the dead. At last, outwearied and depressed with tho desolate scene, my own strength sank, and I moved two dead men a little and lay down between them, making a pillow of the breast of a third. Tlie skirl of his overcoat drawn over my face helped also to shield me from the bloak winds. There was some comfort even in this companionship. But it was broken sleep. Tho deepening chill drove many forth to take tho garments of those who could no longer noed them, that they might keep themselves alive. More than once I was startled from ray unrest by someone turning back tho coat skirt from my face, peering, halt vampire like, to my fancy, through the darkness, to discover if it, too, were of the silent and unresisting, turning away more disconcerted at my living word than if a voice had spoken from the dead. Having held our places all the night, wo had to keep to them all the more closely the next day, for it would be certain death to attempt to move away. As it was, it was only by making breastworks and barricades Os the dead men that covered the field that we saved any alive. We did wliat we could to take a record of these men. A Testament that had fallen from the brenst-poCtet of the soldier who had been my pillow I sent soon after to his home—he was not of my command—and it proved to bo the only clew his pareuts ever had to his fate. The m*xt midnight, lifter thirty-six hours of this harrowing work, we were bidden to withdraw into the town for refreshment and rest. But neither rest nor motion was to be thought of till we had paid fitting honor to our dead. Wo

laid them ou the spot where they had won, on the sheltered edge of the crest, and committed their noble forms to the earth, ana their story to their country's keeping. “We buried them darkly, at dead of night, Tho sod with our bayonets turning.” Splinters of boards, torn by shot and shell from the fences we had crossed, served as headstones, each named hurriedly carved under brief match-lights, anxiously hidden from the foe. It was a strange scene around that silent and shadowy sopulturo. “We will give them a starlight burial,” it was said; but heaven ordained a more sublime illumination. As w“ bore them in dark and sad procession their own loved North took up tho escort, and lifting all her glorious lights, led the triumphal march over the bridge that spans the worlds —an aurora borealis of marvelous majesty! Fierce lances and banners of blood and flame, columns of pearly; light, garlands and wreaths of gold, all pointing upward and beckoning on. Who would not pass on as they did, dead for their country’s life, and lighted to burial by the meteor Bplendors of their native sky?

A TERRIBLE REVENGE. A Jilted Lover Gets Even with tile Lady Who Flayed Him False. Louisvillo Evening Times. Georgo Lewis and Emma Lawson were formerly the most gushing of sweethearts. Lewis was an engineer on tho L. & N. road, and Miss Lawson was the daughter of a lady who kept a boarding-house on Tenth streot, near Magazine. They were engaged. Two years ago Lewis found himself out of employment, and in his efforts to secure work he located in Clarksville, Tenn. In his absence Gaorge and Emma carried on a voluminous correspondence. The lapse of a year brought about a change in the fair Emma's affections. Another man was engaging her thoughts. She almost forgot that she had ever loved Georgo Lewis. But the latter crystallized coutinuous happy thoughts of tho boarding house keeper’s daughter. With him “absence made the heart grow fonder.” His overflowing sentiments found expression in six letters a week to his loved one. She answered occasionally, and, after the advent of the second lover, was cool and calculating in her responses. Lewis finally tired of her philosophy. He wrote and demanded a full explanation. The explanation was not long in reaching Lewis. It e* me in the shape of an invitation to attend the wedding of his affianced to one James R. Simms. The shock prostrated Lewis. He was ill for several days, and upon his recovery journeyed immediately to Louisville.

Ho found the fickle Emma happv iq L „'L.ae"slt. siibma Simms was a powerful

man, somewhat of a pugilist, and it seemed that he had a death-grip on the woman's affections. No amount of persuasion from Lewis could mduco her to change her mind. She married Simms. _ Lewis returned to Clarksville sick and sore at heart. He tried to forget, but it was more than he could do. At last he determined to be revenged. He whistled the "Revenge Song” in "La Mascotte” dolefully, and sot about to accomplish his cherished task. ... The woman who had deceived him had in her possession a bundle of letters which he had written in some of his most happy moods, and which would stamp him as a fool if eveT brought to public notice. It was bitter to think that James R. Simms, tho man who had robbed him of Emma Lawson, would now have .the freedom of these silly love-messages. Lewis determined that he never should, if he could preventih Once more the rejected suitor returned to Louisville. Tnis time he did not come as the penitent lover, ready to say something soothing or make honorable amends. It was his mission to be revenged. Accordingly, he called at the office of Justice John McCann, resolved to proceed in the strict line of the law. The case in all its details was explained to the magistrate. "And, now,” concluded Lewis. "1 have promised never to return to Clarksville without those letters. How can I secure them!” "Easy enough,” replied Justice McCann. "Sue out an order of delivery.” I.ewis signified his willingness so take such step. In the order which he drew up he Btated that the letters were worth to him SIOO, ana that he was being unlawfully deprived of their possession. Half an hour later Constable Sam Webb, with the order of delivery, knocked at the door of the three-story brick boarding house, on Tenth street, near Maple. A pretty figure in a blue Mother Hubbard, and long blonde curls, came tripping down the stairway and greeted the constabte. "I want to seo Mrs. James It. Simms,” said the constable, politely. ‘T am the lady,” was the sweet response. The order of delivery was then read, explained and executed. .... T , “Os course you can, h*' v e the letters. l only wish I had time to read them to you. Some of them are the silliest things I ever saw.” Mrs. Simms left the constable at the door and hurried up stairs. In a few minutes she reappeared with a hat-box full of dusty missives, which she delivered to Constable ebb. Meanwhile Lewis had been waiting patiently at the magistrate's office for the return of the constable with tho letters. The property was delivered to him, and after paying the oosts Lewis took his departure. . This scene was enacted in Justice McCanns office late Friday afternoon.
