It was a beautiful summer evening, and Mrs. Smith, wife of the dry goods merchant in the little town of B-, thought it would do her good to take a short stroll and make a call upon one of her neighbors. Accordingly she put on her sun bonnet, locked up the house, and "ran in" to neighbor Jones', just across the way. And there she heard a piece of news. "They do say that our new minister's wife isn't just the person she ought to be, for the place," said Mrs. Jones, rocking to and fro in her own easy-chair, and knitting all the while. "A little flighty, dressing kind of thing, with her hair all hanging in curls over her shoulders, and wearing a gypsy hat over them curls, Mrs. Smith! She draws, and she paints, and she plays the pianncr, and she works on all kinds of embroidery patterns. But I ha'n't heerd of her making the minister a single shirt since she come here, Mrs. Smith I And I'll bet his stock? ings are full of holes, if the sober truth was known about them. That ain't the kind of woman a minister wants for a wife, Mrs. Smith. He wants a woman that has some sense and some mind. And between you and me, she hasn't got any! Only don't you ever go and s?y that I said so, Mrs. Smith !" Oh, dear, no! Mrs. Smith would never men? tion it, for the whole world! And what a pity it was ! And she must say good-by now, and go and call on Mrs. Brown, and get her receipt lor making soda biscuits. So to Mrs. Brown was related under a solemn vow of secrecy, the terrible tale of the minis? ter's flighty wife. uShe is all the time a painting, and singing, and ploying on the pianner, Mrs Brown, and that, poor dear man's shirts are never properly looked after; and she has embroidered every pattern in the miliner's shop, but his stockings are one perfect mass of holes, and he has to wear boots on purpose to hide them; and she curls her hair, Mrs. Brown; and between you and me, though you musn't say that I ever said so, they do say that her mind isn't very strong. Isn't it a pity that such a nice man has got ?Bich a wife ? I wonder he lives with her as patiently as he does. It's enough to make him go out ox bjs. mind too, as far as she has gone; isn't ijj,. now, Mrs. Brown ?" Mrs. Brown assented, with round eyes of wonder. And after Mrs. Smith had gone home, It occurred to her that she had better run across the street and see if her cousin by marriage, Mrs. Green, had heard the news. "Isn't it a shame, cousin Green ?" she asked, as soon as she was comfortably seated by the parlor window. "There's the minister's wife painting her cheeks, and curling her hair, and playing all day long on the pianner, and spend? ing all his money to buy embroidery with; and the- poor man. hasn't got but one shirt to his back, and his stockings are so full of holes that he can't ever take off his boots for fear of show? ing them. I suppose 6he isn't to blame though, for, between you and me and the gate post, though you musn't ever let out that I said it, she is just as crazy as a loon ! And the minis? ter he is going the same way as fast as ever he can, along with the trouble he has had in watching her, and trying to make her behave so that people wouldn't guess what ailed her ! It is really awful to think of. I suppose if they both get crazy, the society and the town will have to put their heads together and send them off to Brattleboro!" Cousin Green did not know. But the ques? tion was a very serious one, and ought to be discussed, if not decided, at once. So, seeing that it was but eight o'clock when Mrs. Brown had gone, she slipped on her shawl and ran in to Mrs. White's, who was, like her, a member of the minister's church. "Whatever are we to do now, with such troubles coming upon us, sister White ?" she cried in deep distress. "Here's the minister's wife gone as crazy as a coot at last, and a paint? ing her cheeks, and curling her hair, and shriek? ing-over the pianner all day long, and spending al! his salary for embroidered muslin gowns, while he hasn't but one shirt to his back, and one stocking to his foot, and has to sleep in his boots. And his brain is softening, or hardening, or something, I don't know what, with the trcublo of holding her down when she goes into her tantrums; and they do say that the town will have to send them both to Brattle? boro, if the society don't take hold and help. What do you think had better be done in such a case, sister White ?" Sister White was at a loss to say. It was a matter that demanded prayerful consideration, 1 she thought. But they didn't have prayers, in that house, till Deacon White came home from the grocery at half-past nine. So she had time to go up the lane and tell her trouble to Mrs. Gray, who hod been her bosom-friend for years. "I'm sure, Mrs. Gray, I don't know what the Deacon will say," she sighed. "Here's the church all going to be" broken up, just as he had set it agoing so nicely. The minister's wife has gone crazy, and she is all painted up, with straws stuck in her curly hair, and she s been taking all the salary to buy silk embroidered gowns with; and the minister hasn't a shirt to his back, or a stocking or shoo to his foot, and he's as wild as a hawk with holding her when she tries to kill herself or him. The town is going to send them right off to Brattleboro, and I suppose the society will expect the Deacon to go with them, and Lord knows I never ex? pect to sec him come back alive if be does. It's the dreadfulest thing.I ever heard of in all my life. And what would you advise the Deacon and mp.to do, Mrs. Gray?" History docs not record the answer given by Mrs. Gray. But it must have been forcible, and to the point, for the whole place was in an up? roar on the-following day, and the greater part of the parishioners fully expected to see their minister and his wife taken away to Brattle? boro by the officers of the town, if not exactly in chains, at least by no means etothed, and in their right minds.. And when, after a long and patient inquiry on the part of tbe minister's real friends, it was proved that his wife's hair curled naturally, and she painted pictures, and not her checks; and the ministerJiad twelve good new shirts made by her own hand, and that she darned his stockings faithfully every Friday night; that her "embroidery" purchases amounted only to one-half yard strip of muslin ; that she only played the piano of an evening by her hus? band's request, and that neither his nor her brain was softening < r in any danger of doing bo?why, then Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Green, Mrs. White and Mrs. Gray held up their hands, and rolled up tneir eves, and said piously, "Oh, dear, dear, dear! How people will lie!" ? A lady who has a great horror of tobacco got into a railroad car the other day, and in? quired of a male neighbor, "Do you chew to? bacco, sir V "No, madam, I don't," was the reply ; ' but I can get you a chew, if you want Railroads In the Present European War. There are few who will contest the assertion that had no railroads existed in the United States, the recent great struggle between North and South, if terminated at ail in favor of the Union, would have required many more years of painful sacrifice. In the war of 1812-15 with Great Britain, it cost six weeks' delay and many times the present value of a barrel of flour to convey such a barrel from New York to Lake Erie. Id 1861-65, the numbers of men, the quantity of stores and the tremendous par? aphernalia of war conveyed in a day or two to scenes of action ? hundreds of miles distant, amazed the world. As early as 1859 the French had done marvelous things in this way, when they assisted the Italians against Austria. In eighty-six days?that is to say, from the 10th of April to the 5th of July?they transported 604, 481 men and 129,227 horses on their various railroads, and of these the Lyons road alone threw 227,649 men and 36,358 horses upon the Italian frontiers. In 1866, the Prussians in twenty-one days transported 197,000 men, 55, 000 horses and 5,300 wagons, in perfect condi? tion, over distances varying from 120 to 360 miles, or much less, in the average, than the space over which their armies now have to be moved in prosecuting the invasion of France. This immense acceleration of movement by means of steam and railroads must exercise the greatest influence upon the result. Time, money, food, clothing, health and discipline, are all found to be vastly economized ; and as for casualties, the proportion was found to be far less than on the old foot marching system. Infantry and the munitions and equipments are naturally disembarked more rapidly than caval? ry and artillery. In Germany the cars intend? ed for the transportation of troops, horses and batteries, are provided with from three to four axles and six to eight wheels. Each axle is calculated to bear the weight of from twenty to twenty-five men or two to three fully equipped horses. One field piece or one army wagou is reckoned for every two axles. For the heavier trains two locomotives are employed, both pull? ing, or one pulling and the other pushing.? Such a double tram, say the military journals of Prussia, with 38 to 40 cars, will convey a battalion of 1,000 men, along with their ammu? nition wagons and the horses of the officers. One of from 30 to 32 cars, will transport either a battery of field artillery of 6 guns and 2 how? itzers, leaving half of the ammunition wagons and the two leaders of every six-horse team to follow on a single train, or a squadron of 150 mounted men and 160 horses, the riders accom? panying their animals. A rocket battery re? quires only a single train and one locomotive. Upon carefully calculating weights, time and distances the conclusion is that a division of 10, 000 men?8 battalions, 2 regiments of cavalry and 2 batteries, on the German plan?might be carried 120 miles on a long summer's day, a double track and turnouts existing, and all things in good order. This, at least, is about the rate at which the Prussians have moved toward the Rhine, only that by peculiar effort they managed to get nearly 20,000 men through on each railroad line in the 24 hours. Thus, in the lapse of 10 days they presented 200,000 men on their frontier, in addition to such troops as they had already in station near the scene. History Repeating Itself.?When the Prussian armies marched beyond the small French fortress of Bitche, leaving it far in the rear of the great movements now going on, and manned by a small garrison of 300 Gardes Mo? biles who were watched by a handful of Prus? sian troops, history was made in a queer man? ner to repeat itself. Bitche is on the Bavarian frontier and is safely removed from all knowl? edge of the progress of the war, of its defeats and its successes. Similarly was situated the small Austrian village of Theresienstadt during the Austro-Prussian war. A valorous man was its Governor, and, terrible was his array of a hundred or so white-coated soldiers who con? stituted its garrison. Now, when it came to pass that that the Prussian army after the bat? tle of Sadowa marched away towards Vienna, Theresienstadt, like Bitche, was unnoticed, and was left in the rear of the victorious hosts. In a few days followed the signing of articles of peace between Austria and Prussia. Then homeward returning, the Prussian army march? ed back from Austrian territory victorious to .Berlin, and still Theresienstadt?-whose gallant Governor and commander-in-chief of the Aus? trian forces therein, alone of all the world, knew not that peace had been declared?held out defiantly. Long after the soldiers of Prus? sia had ceased to be a hostile force, the brave garrison of Theresienstadt, with the Governor at their head, was wont to sally out suddenly on groups of Prussian soldiers who were taking a holiday. Sometimes, also, the Governor would capture bread in carts which were pas? sing in his vicinity. So active wae-he, indeed, that the neighboring peasantry were doubtful if the war were really over; and a dreadful ru? mor spread among them that the reported dec? laration of peace was a false report, and that the Governor's threatening movements were due to that cause. But this bold Bayard on a fine day drew the attention of the government to himself by au exploit of more than ordinary daring and prowess. At the head of "his com? mand he marched against the railroad leading from the Saxon frontier down to Prague, and deliberately destroyed a large section of it. Upon this military movement becoming known at Prague, a formal embassy was sent to him from that city, informing him that his un? doubted valor and patriotism were duly appre? ciated, but the war was over. Romance about Eugenie.?A correspon? dent of the Lyrrcbbnrg (Va.) Rqmblican re? lates the following wonderful change of desti? ny in the life of Empress Eugenie : In 1851 the uncle of the writer resided as American Minister at Paris, with a large fami? ly around him. At this time appeared in so? ciety there Eugenie Marie de Guzman, Coun? tess of Montijo, a lovely person and an aristo? cratic name securing her orilliant conquests in that society, and constituting her one of the most famous ladies in Paris. It was thought, and indeed freely remarked, that her mother was more ambitious than herself, that the for? mer designed for her some great alliance, while Eugenie herself appeared a model of simple sincerity, a girl who would choose to consult her heart in any matrimonial affair. Her sis? ter had just married the Duke of Alba and Berwick, a lineal descendant of James II. of England; and the worthy mother, Donna Ma ria, no doubt designed at least an equal matri? monial destiny for the more beautiful of her daughters. But the heart is not always to be controlled even in the most aristocratic life, or to yield to its exactions or convenience. Eu? genie lost hers to a fine-looking blonde Virgin? ian, young William C. Rives, son of the An^ri can Minister. They were engaged to be mar? ried. But Aunt Judy Rives, a Virginia matron, very decided and angular in her scruples, inter ferred and broke off the match; the Countess ?aatoo "last" for her old Virginia views of so? cial sobriety. The woman for whom future had reserved so much eseaped the comparatively humble match that her heart had decided upon ?the destiny of a quiet Virginia housewife_to ascend the throne of France. Alas, what other contrasts may yet remain for her! If an event had been ordered differently, if a prospective mother-in-law had proved complacent,, the Em? press, the woman who has adorned the throne of France and displayed to the world the charms of another Cleopatra, might at this mo? ment be a quiet country matron living in a farm-house near Cobham Depot, County of Al bemarie, and State of Virginia 1 ? Mrs. Partington says she understands the pickle the Emperor has got into, but she would like to know what this neutrality is that Victo ria is trying to preserve. ? Perhaps money is the root of ?11 evil; but, it is one of those succulent and grateful roots, for which we are quite willing to dig. The Strasbourg Cathedral Clock and Library. One of the most lamentable results of the Beige of Strasbourg, leaving out of view the loss of human life, is the injury which the bombard? ment has inflicted upon the noble cathedral and its wonderful astronomical clock. The vast cathedral, which, perhaps, more than any other one thing, has made the name of Strasbourg celebrated, is one of the finest Gothic buildings in Europe. It was founded A. D. 504. The choir was built by Charlemagne: probable about A. D. 800, though it was not completed until 1439. The material of which the cathe? dral is built is a brown stone, very much re? sembling our Connecticut Portland freestone, 60 extensively used in Fifth avenue. It was obtained from a quarry at Wassebonne, in the valley of Couronne, a few miles from Stras? bourg. The architect of the existing edifice was Erwin von Steinback, of Baden. One John Huells, of Cologne, was the architect of the peerless tower. Its spire is the loftiest in the world. Its height, 466 feet, surpasses St. Pe? ter's, and is about equal to that of the great Pyramid. The greater part of the entire struc? ture was destroyed by lightning in 1007, and the restored edifice was begun in 1015 and com? pleted in 1439. The cathedral is in every part richly decorated with sculptures; and the wes? tern front, rising to a height of 230 feet, is, or was, particularly fine with its wealth of statues, ornamental carvings, and bas-reliefs. It has a circular window 48 feet in diameter. The Prus? sian heavy artillery has made, it is said, a ruin of part of the vast building. The astronomical clock, the product of a Ger? man clockmaker, in about the year 1550, is a marvel of ingenuity and mechanical skill, and has no counterpart. It performs not only the ordinary service of a clock, but exhibits the days, and the months, and the years; the pro? cess of the seasons; the signs of the zodiac, and the names and movements of the heavenly bodies. At each quarter-hour an angel comes out and strikes one stroke on a bell; at every hour another angel comes and strikes twice; and at 12, meridian, a figure of Christ appears, accompanied by the twelve apostles, all of whom move around a central point and pass in, out of sight, by another door, the stroke of twelve being given, and a cock flaps his wings and crows. The clock is enormous in size, like ev? erything else connected with the vast cathedral, and is invisible from the outside street?the spectator passing through the nave of the cathe? dral to see it. It has suffered from fire and violence before the present year, having been out of repair and motionless since the revolu? tion of 1793, until the year 1842, when it was repaired by a watchmaker of Bas-Rhin, and has been in operation ever since. It is to be hoped that this ingenious piece of mechanism has not been irreparably injured by the present bom? bardment. The loss of the Strasbourg library?a vast collection of 800,000 volumes, including many collections of rare and curious monkish parch? ments?is total and irreparable. It can never be replaced by any collection hereafter made. It was the slow result of a thousand years; and its destruction by fire, caused by the Prussian hot shot, is like the burning of the Alexandri? an library in this, that of a great number of the works destroyed no duplicates can ever be ob? tained.?Hartford Time?. Necessity op Sleep.?There are thousands of busy people who die every year for want of sleep." sleeplessness becomes a disease, and is the precursor of insanity. Wc speak of sleep as the image of death, in our waking hours. Sleep is not like death for it is the period in which the waste of the system ceases, or is re? duced to its minimum. Sleep repairs the waste which waking hours have made. It rebuilds the system. The night is the repair shop of the body. Every part of the system is silently overhauled, ana all the organs, tissues, and substances are replenished. Waking consumes and exhausts; sleep replaces and repairs ; wa? king is death, sleep is life. The man who sleeps little, repairs little. A man who would be a good worker must neces? sarily be a good sleeper. A man has as much force in him as he has provided for in his sleep. The quality of mental activity depends upon the quality of sleep. Men need on an average eight hours of sleep a day. A lymphatic tem? perament may require nine; a nervous temper? ament six or seven. A lymphatic man is slug? gish, and moves and sleeps slowly. But a ner? vous man acts quickly in everything. He does more in an hour than a sluggish man in two hours; and so in his sleep. Every man must sleep according to his temperament?but at least eight hours is the average. Whoever by work, pleasure, sorrow, or by any other cause, is regularly diminishing his sleep, is destroying his life. A man may hold out for a time, "but the crash will come, and he will die. There is a great deal of intemperance besides that of tobacco, opium or brandy. Men are dissipated who overtax their system all day and underslcep every night. A man who dies of delirium tremens is no more a drunkard and suicide than the minister, the lawyer, the mer? chant, the editor, or the printer who works ex? cessively all day, and sleeps but little at night. Hair Pins.?Some fellow interested in the manufacture of gutta-percha hair pins gets off the followiug, through the columns of a Mary? land paper: "A Warning.?Steel hair pins have come into use in "fixing up" the large quantity of artificial adornments for the head now worn by ladies, and they are proving to be a dangerous article. A young lady of this county, a short time since, fell and stuck one of these pins into her head, touching an artery connecting with the brain. She is now lying dangerously ill from the effects of the wound." Wc have no disposition to interfere with oth? er people's business; but we protest against all such insurrectionary paragraphs as the above. Nearly every family"in the country has at least fifty gross of steel hair pins now in stock. This supply, with ordinary prudence and economy, will last about six months. But think of the fearful discipline that will become necessary in each household in which the gutta-percha man's manifesto is read! Think of the piercing screams, and the spasmodic dopping of steel hair pins as if each one were red hot! We can't afford to buy fifty gross of gutta-percha hair pins. And we don't believe any young lady bos been wounded by sticking steel hair pins into her head, either. We've seen 'em stick fifty into their heads and then call for more?many a time.? Wilmington Star. ? ? ^ Thk Garden of Edtcx.?A traveler in the East writes that the site of the Garden of Eden is, according to tradition, located at the junction of the Euphrates and Tigress, at an Arab vil? lage called Korneh. Scattered along the bank are about two hundred houses, made of reed and thatch, while on the extreme point, where the rivers meet, a shanty has been built for a telegraph station ! It is somewhat curious to think of telegraphic despatches being sent to the Garden of Eden ; and it removes a certain halo with which our imagination has surround? ed the spot. But modern progress has pene? trated those countries of the East which have been long in decay, and they are doubtless des UiK'd to undergo a wonderful resurrection. The Drought in Viruinia.?The com? plaint is general from Eastern Virginia, and especially from the tidewater region, of exces? sive drought. Around Richmond the gardens are burnt up, and fall vegetables have almost disappeared from market. The Richmond Whig, however, learns that, notwithstanding the drought, the corn crop above tidewater is a pretty fair one, and the tobacco, which re? quires less rain, is very fine in some districts. A heavy rain storm set in at Lynchburg on Saturday night. In consequence of the injury done to vegetation by the drought, the Virginia Horticultural Society will hold no exhibition this full. ? Of a man who recently died, it is said, "His name will bo remembered wherever his deeds and mortgages are known." Death of a Prominent Georgian.?A special telegram from Milledgeville conveys intelligence of the death of Gen. John w. a. Sanford, long and favorably known to the peo? ple of Georgia as a leading citizen and patriot? ic gentleman. The following sketch of his life is from the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel: For more than a third of a century, Gen. Sanford has been prominently before the pub? lic as a tried and trusted public servant. \V hen quite a young man he commanded the Georgia troops in the Indian wars in which the State was engaged with the savage tribes on our southern and western borders. During the Seminolc and Creek wars he acted with con? spicuous gallantry, and received honorable re? cognition for his valuable services. In the latter campaigns he won the esteem and favor of General Scott, who very early discovered his strong and marked abilities, and on different occasions entrusted to him the direction of im? portant movements. When the late war between the States broke out General Sanford, then more than sixty years of age, volunteered as a private in the 4th Georgia regiment, and strapping his knap? sack upon his back, shouldered his musket and marched to the defence of Virginia upon the first call for troops for the defence of that State. His regiment was stationed near Norfolk for the protection of that place and the navy yard, and for many months he performed the duties, and bore the fatigue of constant camp and guard duty, so trying to the health and spirits of a Southern soldier. In the election which was held for Colonel of the regiment he refused to permit his name to be run, esteeming a pri? vate station the post of honor. The long months of heavy guard duty, and the inactive campaign which followed, broke down his health, and, at the earnest solicitations of his friends, he reluctantly consented to retire from a service in which it was impossible for him to Kerform active duty. Returning to the State e did not, like many others, lose his interest, or diminish his zeal in the good cause, but de? voted his time and influence in strengthening the arms of the brave men whom he had left in the field. General Sanford was for many years a lead? ing member of the Democratic party, and in 1850 was the President of the Union Conven? tion which nominated General Cobb for Gov? ernor. He was frequently in the Legislature of the State, and, we believe, was a member of the State Convention of 1861. He was ap? pointed a commissioner to Texas from the btate of Georgia to inform that State of the secession of Georgia and ask her to unite her destiny with the young republic. Since the war he has been a steady and un? compromising opponent of Radical reconstruc? tion, and on a memorable occasion refused, in a large assembly, to take the hand of Governor Brown, just after the latter had joined the Radi? cals. General Sanford, we suppose, was upwards of seventy years of age. He was a good neigh? bor, a devoted friend, an affectionate husband and father, and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We esteemed as a a patriot and loved him a friend, and sincerely sympathize with his family in their sad bereave? ment. Book Farming.?There was a farmer once who hesitated not to hurl all manner of invec? tives against book farming, and those who con? sulted books for advice. By long experience and practical observation he had become quite successful in the culture of grapes and trees. His fields were clean and fair, and highly pro? ductive. His trees were vigorous, well adjusted and profitable. In conversation with a friend he related his experience, entering into the minutest details, sometimes becoming quite eloquent when de? scribing his victories over the enemies which infest them. "My knowledge," he said, "was gained by dint of application, by actual experience and hard labor. It was none of your book knowl? edge, written by men who know nothing about farming." "Well," said his friend, "if all this valuable information, gained by assiduous labor and ob? servation of so many years, and which you have so clearly described, were written out and pub? lished, which would you have a young and in? experienced man do, take this as he finds it from your pen, or go through the same tedious process that you have gone through, including all the vexations and losses ?" The question puzzled him, and he was silent for a moment, but was obliged to confess, after all, there was much that was valuable in books, because combining and relating the results and experience of practical cultivators. Do not condemn book farming. You may critcise certain books very severely, because written by ignorant theoretical hands ; but there is always good wheat as well as chaff. So there are many good books as well as poor ones. The time may come when a single hint from a book or paper may save your farm or orchard; or add to your wealth, by telling you how to increase your crops. Courting.?Josh Billings says: There is wimmin who are eazy to court az lint. Luv at first sight is like eating honey. It duz seem az tho yu never could get cnuff of it This kind o v luv is apt to make blunders, and iz az hard tew back out uv as a well. Bu there ain't no Ruch thing az pure mathematicks in courting. If it iz all nature, it is too innocent for earth ; and if it iz awl science, it iz too much ov enny Elan where yu are going tu fetch up, and sec ow yu and she likes it, and let the thing kind ov worry along kereless, like throwing stones intu a mill pond. Yu will find one thing tew be strictly true, the more advice yu undertake tu follow the less amount ov good courting yu will du. ? A countrvman stopped at the Maxwell house, Nashville, for dinner. The waiter in? quired what he would have, and was told by the countryman to bring "something of what he had." The waiter brought him a regular dinner upon small dishes, as is the usual lorm, and set tnem around his plate. The country? man surveyed them for a moment and then broke out : "Well, I like your samples; now bring me some dinner." ? Old Bill W- was dying. He was an ignorant man, and a very wicked one. Dr. D-, an excelleut physician and a very pious man, was attending him. The old fellow asked for bread. The doctor approached the bedside, and in a very solemn tone remarked, ' My dear fellow, man cannot live by bread alone." "No," said the old fellow, slightly reviving, "he's 'bleeged to have a few wegetables!" ? "The Prussians attacked Nancy yesterday," said a young man to his grandmother. "Well, well," said the old lady, wiping her spectacles, "I didn't think: they'd be mean enough tostriko a woman." ?
