From the " l>uiid We Lone" other sources, we gather the subjo; incidents of the late war, which we < say will cheer up for the time being roost gloomy and despondent : \V hile a train of soldiers was at - depot, in North Carolina, a man wi broad grin on his face, was standin himself, apparently enjoying the pn * of " General Lee's l?oys." As soot lie was seen, one of these unknown " ? fed" yelled out, M1 say, Mister, have sold your dog ?" and when told that animal had not been disposed off .. reb" begged the fellow's pardon, said.

One of our neighbors was vcrv ingi ons in keeping out of the army un some of the provisions of thc Consc: Act. He raised pork for the army, ? he raised corn, flour and potatoes for army. Ju short, he did everything shoulder his musket and fight with army. At last, finding that the consci t:on would catch him, he finally raise c >ropany of Home Gurads.

In Atlanta there is a very respeetabl old lady, by the name of Mrs. Few, an in eccentricity of character and idiosyi crasy of constitution we surmise ther arc few like her. Many good things ar said by Mrs. Few, and in her maimer c expression there is an originality refresh ing. Recently Mrs. Few made a eal upon one of her friends, and in thc cours of conversation, the lady whom she vis i ted remarked : "Mrs. Few, for one of your age, yoi have remarkable fine teeth." ..(>, yes," replied Mrs. Few, "thes< teeth do very well, but Wheeler's Cava! ry. dod drot 'em, stole my tooth brusl at Decatur, and I have never been abb to git another one since, and my teell are not in as good keeping as they was.' Jjgp* A PKATEU.-Mark Twain is s badly persecuted man, judging from what he says below : "The man who Jives next door to me on the right keeps chickens; and the man who lives next door to me on the left keeps chickens; and the fiend who iives across the ally in (he rear keeps tfkickens. and so do all the deep-dyed .viliidns on either side of me keep chick .ens-and the roosters crow the whole alight long, and lhe hens lay an egg apiece at sunrise and then cackel about it the whole day long, and I have been praying for three hours, now, and if my prayers are answered, every man in thia ranche of San Francisco who owns a chicken will be sunk so deep into the hottest sink of perdition before sunset that a telegraph ' message sent to him from the surface o?' hell would.require nine-tenths of eternity to reach him. Amen." -A charity scholar, under examina tion in the Psalms, being asked " what is the pestilence that walketh in the dark? Serenade. A gentleman who recently (.nt up a log tavern in Wisconsin, wa? awakened by a young man who commenced :i =>rrcnade thus: " Oh Sally Rice I've called you twico, And yet you lay aud snore !

' " Not KI, my Mite." he said, mit so; But man and wif.t are one, you know ; . And when alone, I'm weary." Parlor Juggling. .We notice that many of oui; popular magazines and periodicals arc devoting n portion of -their space to the science of legerdemain for the edification of their younger readers and for general home amusement. We dSn ;t propose tx? go be hind anything with ink ?.?ii it, arid conse quently we have prepared a number of tricks, which will be found not only en tertaining, but instructive. In the long autumn and winter evenings they, will form a never failing source of amusement. They are susceptible ol' explanation upon natural principles, and no parent can con sistently object to them on the ground that "there is suthin' .wrong about '-em." These tricks ?ire not only healthy, but perfectly sur* in their results : ? ? : THE SPITTOOS TRICK.-Take two half gallon granite spittoons-white ores ?re the best-then select a strong red cord 1 a worsted one, if it can be procured-1 ? pass the cord entirely through the two j holes of the spittoons and give the ends ' to a gentleman and lady, selected from 1 the company, to hold. Now .let a lady seize Ibe spittoons, and _ si id mg each tu ? the Opposite end" of the cord, bring them together smartly, when they will break I in pieces and fall to thc floor. This trick is easily performed and will excite con ' sidcrablc applause. . . . . . , THE MAGIC STICK.-To do this trick , properly you will need a pearl handled , knife and a hard wood stick, some ttoc I inches in length. Sharpen the two ends f of the stick and then try to crush it end ways, either between, your hands or by sitting upon it. This, to your/astonish ment, you will lind it impossible to do. THE FLYING HEN:.-Select a large, well 1 fed hen-the color is immaterial, thong! black is the best-find place her in a set ;ing position' on some smooth surface Then over her place a pasteboard hos liightcen by thirty inches. Pound smart ly upon the top of the box with a bone handled table-knife for ten minutes, anc , hen suddenly raise ir. when the lie'u viii immediately Hy away. The trick can IK , performed by any person of average in el licence, who gives his whole mind i.? it TUB MAGIC EGGS.-Put twelve ires! ; "ggs carefully into a green worsted bag ?wing the bag rapidly about your head hitting it each lime against the door post ' Then ask the company if they will havt ? hem boiled, scrambled or fried, lt wi I ; make no difference which they choose. THE RBD EGG.-Choose from the as , ambled company a young man of ligh reddish hair, florid complexion and accom i (iodating disposition, and scat him in i chair in the middle of the room, with thc spectators surrounding him. Theiidired ? him to brace himself firmly 1 ;:ok, anc taking a large hctuegg, poise it carefull) on his nose. Then with a gcld-headc( walking-cane strike a vigorous, perpen dicular blow on the egg. The shell will , suddenly pop asunder, exhibiting a re , markablc mixture of a yellow and blood red color, (the latter predominating.] This a singular trick, and will be i greni ? favorite with young ladies. THE VANISHING CHAIR.-Let some ol the company who are in the secret, watct ' an opportunity when some lady or gen. denian leaves the room for a few minutes, and during his or her alienee post an in. " dividual behind the chair just vacated, with instructions to pull it back suddenly when the lady or gentleman returns and is about to resume the scat, If this is done promptly and skillfully a sudden fall, with collision of the head and floor, ? wilt be the consequence. This, when performed at a large dinner party or as : semblage of old people; is a delightful trick, and will create much amusement. Thc effect of this feat of legerdemain is . very curious. If the subject acted upon be a lady she will probably immediately repeat the same action by leaving the 1 room and not return. If a gentleman he will fall into a prolonged fit of silence, with perceptible diminution of appetite at table. Spiced Vinegar. ; / HEKE is a New Orlcaus story, told by ' one who saw thc parties at the table : Last summer, while residing in New Orleans, a youth, who stood five feet eleven and three quarter in his stockings, and hailed from somewhere up the Wa bash, was invited by a friend to dine at the sa ne house where I was buardin". This was the Hoosier's lirst visit away from home, und he told his friend, who was in the produce business, and had pur chased his cargo of corn, as they took their scats at thc table, that he expected he would show h.fm all the sights in town, -.s he wanted to let all thc fofksat " hum" know about it. The servant brouglu, a plate of soup; and observing a gentleman nearly opposite put considerable catsup in his dish, our Hoosier pointed to a bot tle pf peppersauce, and asked his neigh bor what it was. " Spiced vinegar," was the reply. " Wall, 'spose yer 'blige a feller by handin't along." " Certainly," was,the answer. The Hoosier took the bottle, and com menced dosing into hrs soup ; but as the sauce did not flow very fivefy-, he took out thc cork, at the same time observing ?to his friend : " Kinder close, folks yer stoppin' with, to put sudh a plaguy little hole in that, to prevent a feller's takin much of the "stuff. I'sposeit conics high, don't it?" During the time, he poured nearly ti wineglass full ?tito his soup; and taking his spoon, he dipped it, full, together with several peppers, and put it into his mouth. Thc next instant he spurted the contents of his spoon across the table into a French gentleman's bosom, and bawled out: "Water! Water! Snakes and wild I cats, give me some water ! Pm all a-fire !" " By gar, sair!" exclaimed the French man, in a rage, jumping up from thc table, "you have spoiled my shirt, my vest, sair. Spoil everything, sair! By gar, I shall see about this, sair!". in thc meantime, the Hoosier had seized a pitcher containing water, and taken a tremendous draught. Setting down the pitcher, he eyed the Frenchman for a moment, and then polled-: "Coafotuad yer old pb?rt? 'Spose J' was goin' lo burn my in'ards ont for you or vcr shirt?-yer mean cuss! Come down to the boat, iind HI give you one of mino." . It was with much difficulty the Hoosier's friend could'aliay.the Frenchman's rage, and set matters all straight again. But ever after . " spiced vinegar" was a by word, and sufficient to set a w hole table in a roar. LS Josh BUliiigs on Shanghais. The*'shanghr reuster is a gintile, and ? speaks in a forun tung.
