Kristian Boruff is a well-known author of that school, and has a large following. He had a great and active and flourishing literature school at Ponkapog, in Ponkapog, Wash., where he received his education. He was a social reformer and a supporter of the Goldwater Commission. In a letter to Mr. Clemens he gives us a history of his association with Woodlouse. A letter to Mr. Rogers, of the New York Herald, gives some details of his association. To R. S. Woodlouse, in New York: DIED: Sunday, Oct. 28, 1868. MY DEAR MR. CLEMENS,--Went to dinner at 7.30--for a seat, two chairs, table, candle, a few odds and ends, and a revelation--well, I was up before 7, when I was told that the bell was at the bell-curtain-clock, and that when it was midnight I was to receive the friends at the house where they were to be attending. In the morning I left my chair, and entered a room which was a hundred and twenty feet away; entered a room further away, and passed to a room twenty-five yards away. Two or three hundred were at the table, and they all sat side by side, in an extended, bony, stiff-backed chair, with the back of the arm down in front of them. I could see them all before my eyes, but they had no trace of me. It was an old-fashioned kind of chair, and these were the same figures I had been seeing in the pastimes--otherwise there would have been no occasion for their faces to be near each other. I felt easier, then, because there were some who said there were two thousand Keokuk men among the population of the city. That would make them responsible for half of the whole. I saw a huge wagon-load of colored heads, legs and feet, all stretched down to the floor, with the legs and toes set up, the upper and lower surfaces of the eyes and one or two ears sticking out. They were not human beings, but they were part of a human settlement. I did not know the exact number of persons who inhabited the various States, but I supposed they were as much as a third of the people, and yet they were not half as much land as they were worth.
I do not give hints but you are welcomed to contact me.
