In the campaign beyond the Potomac the brigade num. bered but 1,855 men. It lost 731 men. This tells the story. There were few such brigades in the army of Northern Virginia. About 800 laborers are employed in the rolling mill, furnaces and foundries of Birmingham, Ala. ; about 400 in the coal mines of Coketon, six miles distant, and about 100 at Oxmoor, also six miles distant. The country around Birming ham is said to produce more corn, cotton, wheat, oats and potatoes, acre for acre, than the cane-brake. Mrs. Schneider, of St. Charles, Mo., slapped her twelve year-old son Willie because he was naughty, and when Mr. Schneider came home to dinner he whipped Willie. Willie then went to the barn crying. When they found-him an hour or two later he was hanging dead, suspended by a leather strap from a beam in the hay loft. The Atlanta Constitution: The rail ioads leading mouth from the Ohio river are blocked with corn, pork, weat, hay and other articles destined for Southern consumption, all of which should have been produced in the South itself. The very fact of the blockade is a sad com, mentary upon the agricultural enterprise of the South. The railroads cannot sup ply us with articles that our own soil would gladly produce if it was tackled with the plow and the hoe, Chattanooga Times: The project for a new railroad to the top of Lookout is succinctly this: A horse track to the foot; go up on an incline to the point by stationary-engine power, taking car, horses and all; then a horse road back from the point to say near Chickamauga bluff, which has many advantages over the point as a hotel site, being well watered and having a large tract of fine surface in the vicinity. The matter is in the hanas of live, energetic men of means. The proposed prohibition amendment to the State constitution of Texas reads as follows: The importation into and the manufacture or sale within this State of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is prohibited; provided, that the Legisla ture may exempt beer and native wines, unmixed with alcoholic liquors, from the provision of this section, and the Legislature shall at the first session after the adoption of this amendment enact laws to carry out the provisions hereof. The President of the New Orleans Board of Health says that part of the sickness and mortality in the rear of the city must be referred to the cultivation of rice, and that the Legislature of Lou isiana, the Board of Health and the City Council of New Orleans should consider the subject of rice culture in its relations to the health of the city of New Orleans ; and such ordinances should be considered and pas'sed as will protect the inhabi tants from the effects of the destructive emanations of rice fields. The condition of the levees on the Lo'u isiana side of the Mississippi river from the Arkansas line, down as far as Pensas parish, is reported precarious. A t Al satia the caving has cut out the apex of the triangle made by the levee, but the fall of the water prevents immedhiate further damage. At Millikin's Bend the caving has cut to the top of the levee for three-eights of a mile, and in three places bas cut the levee half in two. The town of Millikin's Bendh is in the active process of removal. A large force is throwinig up a econd levee. Americus(Ga.)Republicn: Themem4 bers of Georgia in th nited Stat Congress of 1843, were: Senators, John McFherson, Berrien and Walter T. Col quitt; Representatives, Edward J. Black, Hugh A. Harrison, John H. Lumpkin, Howell Cobb, Win. H. Stiles, Absalom H. Chappell and Alexander H. Stephens. Of all that delegation, Mr. Stephens, physically the frailest and who never had a well day, is the only one living now. Who would have not have picked him out then as the first, and not the last, victim to the insatiate archer a ar row. In a discussion of the divorce laws of Massachusetts before a legislative com mittee, Charles Cowley, of Lowell, men tioned that "a Judge of the Supericr Court of New York. often serving on the Supreme Bench, had gone abroad to marry when it would have been criminal to do so under the New York laws, and had then returned. An adulterer was now wearing the judicial ermine in New York, and passing on divorce suits." Alfred E. Giles argued in behalf of men marrying as many women as they loved, and declared monogomy to be the source of the worst evils." A New York detective declares that physiognomies of criminals do not usually betray their occupation. To a Sun re porter he said : "Look over the 1,600 pictures in the Rogues' Gallery, and you will see that there are types of some of the most prominent and unquestionably honest men in the United States. It would be unpleasant to name theee un fortuinate resemblances. Begging your pardon, I could show you the picture of a well-known pickpocket which might be taken for a poor likeness of yourself. Begging their pardon, I could show two of our police Captains their counterpaRt n the gallery." The Tyrauny of Buttons. Among all the possible agiinients for woman'a natural inferiority to man the only one having real force has never been formulated ; this is her meek and unquestioning submission to buttons. The buttons of the male habiliments are always coming off-notably before breakfast, when the average husband is about as amiable as a bear with ., sore head. At this time, if he finds a button loose, ho gives it a " yank," and then looks about helplessly for his victn the first woman coining into his fleid of vision. He holds the button up before her, says it has " come" off, and she is expected to sbw it oi straightway. Gen crally the victim is his wife; and, though the baby may be crying, iina the break fast preparations in need of supervision, while the tyrant himself has nothing on earth to do but madre his toilet, and has, moreover, sowing materials right before~ him on thme bureau or dressing-table, he never rises to the dondeptin of his possible copetehun to duipply* is own wants Woman, in his eyes, is the pre ordained supervisor of buttons ; and a delicate consideration for her rights and prerogatives is his motive for relegating the task to her ; at least this is the wa he ap~ologimes, when in a playful inou for his lack of deftness with the needle, which, as a rule, is wholly the fault of the women who had charge of his boy hood. They should have taught him to replace the buttons he is forever wrench ing off with his rude fingering. One or two lessons about the time the boy be gins to go to schooI, a little work-box placed in his room, containing needles, thread, two or three kinds of buttons and an open-to p thimble-the only kind that .ever should be worn-and the prob lem is solved for a Ufetime; for whatever one is accustomed to do from childhood one does easily and dexterously. Wom en have shown their capaity for accom plishments and attainments supposed to bexclusively masculine. It is time for a corresp~onding display of ambition and adaptability on the part of men ; and they cannot make a better beginning than by learning to sew on their own buttons. _______ Uncle Xose Turns Over a New Lear.

Cigarettes. A few years ago eigarettes in their present form were unknown. Oigarettes so-called, were of Spanish make, so loosely rolled that they required reroll ing by resident smokers. I'lhen was in vogue, and is now to a less extent, the practice of making one's own cigarettes. Properly shaped and sized papers were furnished, in which Turkish tobacco was rolled by the ostentatious young smoker. Then sprang up manufactories of cigar ettes already rolled and prepared for the smoker. The increase in manufacture has hardly kept pace with the demand, for it is said that during last summer the supply at some watering places fell short. Oigarettes are used more in summer than in winter, as the bare hand finds it un comfortable and the gloved hand comes clumsily to the business. At irst cigar ettes wero simply rolled and' papered; later, mouthpieces were added of paste board, wood,. corn husk and glass, the latter being last year's addition Facto ries are in New York, Baltimore. Roches ter and elsewhere, and the larger ones employ from five hundred to one thous and operatives in rolling cigarettes. One cigarette-niaking firm has an automatic machine that performs the labor of many operatives. Paper and tobacco are fed in at one end, and from the other comes out cigarettes ready for use. The perique cigarettes are made in Louisiana. Per i(quo tobacco grows only in certain parts of this State. It is put into rolls and al lowed to remain until cured, and satur ated to the requisite state of blackness and strength. The wooden niouth1piece cigarettes come from Virginia; those with glass ends are made in Baltimore, and the brisk variety in New Orleans. Turkish cigarettes from Dresden, St. Petersburg and Odessa and other places, made from tobacco grown in both Asiatic and Euro pean Turkey, have limited sale, owing to the increased cost, which is a hundred per centum greater than Anerican cigar ettes. The sale, as already intimated, in creases. All classes smoke cigarettes. The old smoker may be wedded to his cigni', buit in his moments of brief leisuie or short interim in business. suggest tiLe quiekly conisumed little cigar, uuloes. he k iil e a noted literary main who collected stumlps, and then niade it a rule to smoke so many egats and so many stunips per day, until the stock of the latter was consumed. The objeotive point ofthe nuti-tobacco society should be (igarettes, for they hittve aided, as nothing else has, to make youthful smokers. After a diet of sweet fern the boy passes to cigar ettes. From smoking a full p(*wer cigar he is likely to lie under the fence for the greater part of a day, but the cigarette is not so mastering, and in time the young smoker passes to the strongest of tobacco ntimtilants.-Proidence (P. .,) Journal.

And they hasten to take off his boots, and the fragrance of his socks reacheth unto heaven. And he giveth up his ghost and is gathlered to his fathers. And behold, others work the mine. Nevada MAonthly. A Youing Lady's Heart Misplaced. A curious case of malposition of the heart was recently disoovered by a phy sician im a patient who was consul tig him for spinal trouble. The woman is abont twenty years old, of good form, handsome face and pleasing disposition. A careful study of the precise locality and form of the heart shows it to be trans ferred to the right side of the chest, and instead of the a x beating just below the breast, it stries upward against the right collar-bone, near its outer third. In this case there must be a double curb to the large vessels of the heart, andl the base of the heart is downward. In other wordsi, thds heart is on tho wrong side of the body, and is upside down. This unnatural condition of things does not give rise to any inconvenience, except when mnovin g too quickly or going up stairs, when thme organ beats with painful violence against the collar-bone, where its motion is plainly visible.-New Yor k Morceey.

A Young Wonnan's eperate straggle at tie Mouth or a Cave. rDamasowi Correspondence of the Philadelphia Timn.] Lottie Merrill, the female huntei of this section, has had another adventure worthy of record and one which came so near costing her her life that she will prob ably in the future never restun her masculine sport. Just after the great sleet storm which swejt over the coun try, Lottie determined to go door hunt. mg. Donning her snow shoes she started to cross Drig Swamp, a dense mass of scrub oaks and laurel. When she had reached the centre of the marsh she dis covered the foot prints of a very large bear on the crust. She followed the trial out of the swamp for about two miles, when she discovered the den which the animal inhabited. Entering the cave she found two little cubs on a bed of leaves in one corner. The cubs were about the size of kittens and were easily captured. Lottie was just emerging from the cave when she was met by an immense she bear. The bear had heard the cubs yoll and was making all posisible speed to rescue them. Before Lottie could draw her rifle to her shoulder the animal was upon her and grasping her in her paws gave her such a terrible squeeze that she(1 fainted, when the bear, thinking her dead, -released her grip. She for tunately regained consciousness quickly, and while the old bear was playing with her cubs the plucky hunter drew her rifle and shot her in the side. The bul lot did not strike the animal's heart, and as the brute dashed at her again Lottie drew her hunting knife and with one bold stroke nearly served the bear's head from the body. Lottie was just congratulating herself on her successful escape when the dead bear's mate made his appearanew . Lot tie's rifle was unloaded and she was totally unprepared for a second encounter, but determined to 'light it out." The struggle was a long one. Fortunately the young lady was not uncunibered in her motion by petticoats, for in all her hunting ex-pdotions sheo wears pantaloons of doeskin, with a long blouse. When, finally, Lottie thought the bear was dead she stooped over to cut his throat, naid the animal, with one stroke of his mionstrous paw, tore the clothing almost completely from her body. During the protracted struggle the bear had reached the edge of a cliff fully a hundred feet high and sloping at an angle of more than forty-five degrees down to the Wal linpaupack Creek. As the animal grab bed Lottie he commenced sliding on the slippery crust ddrn this almost per pendicular slope. Lottie was arried with him, and every foot of distance tra versed added to their telocity. When they i-eached the foot of the slope they struck against a trce, completely killing the bear and breaking two of Lottie's ribs, her left arm and one of her limbs. he Inantiged, however,- to crawl about a mile to a house, whero she received medical teaitment. Thle first bear killed weighed, when dIressed, four hundred and three pounds, and the male one, four hundred and eighty-four pounds. Lot tie, who is improving slowly, has the dubs in her posseion, but she says it wrill be some time becfore she will take another expedition of this kind. .1e o ad Reasons. One day last fall a queer sort of an old man hired a boat and rowed out on the river a little below Yonkers to fish. So far as could be observed from the banks lhd hadl no luck. He went out ab~out 10 in the morning and at 4 in the afternoon he sat in the same pos'tion held his fishpole the same way, and had evidently settled down to stay there all night. Pretty soon a etnamboat came rushing along down the river. She was headed (directlyv for thle ilbrmanl who wats in midlchafnn~e. She blew her whistle to warni him, but after a glance over his shoulder he resumned the ol attitude. Thme steamer came nearer and neare:r; and the old man was observed to give a sudden alatt uand pay more attention to his line. When too) late, the pilot tried to stop and avoid the accident. The skiff was struck broadsido and splintered to pieces, and for two or three minutes it was believed that the old man was dlrownedl. Thlen some one espied him in the wake of the boat, and lhe was fished out. "IDidn't you hear us whistle ?" asked the Cahptain, as the dripping man stood b~efore him. " Yes; andI whistled b~ack I" was thbe reply. " We whistled for you to get out of the way." " And I whistled to let you know that I'dl be dlarned if I wouldl." "ilHad you any reasons for hanging to thme channel ?"

There is not the remotest corner or little inlet of the minute blood vessels of the human body that does not feel some wavelet from the convulsion occasioned by good hearty laughter. The-life prin ciple, or the central man, is shaken to the innermost depths, sending now tides of life and strength to the surface, thus materially tending to insure good health to tho persons who indulg therein. The blood moves more rapidly and con voys a1 different impression to all the organs of the body, as it visits them on that par'ticular mystic journey whon the man is laughing, from what it does at other times. For this reason every good, heart y laugh in which a person indulge. lengthens his life, conveying, as it does new and distinct stimulus to the 'vitai forces. Doubtless the time will come when physicians, conceding more im portance than they now do to the in fluence of the mind upon the vital fore.. of the hody, will make up their prescrip tion1s more with reference to the mind andl less to dougs for them; and will, in so doing, find the best and most effective method of producing the requirdl effect ulponl the patient.
