An Editor's Table. The editor sat in his sanctum, his countenance furrowed with care, His mind at the bottom of business, his feet at the top of a chair. His chair-arm an elbow supporting, his right hand upholding his head. His eyes on his dusty old table, with diflforcnt documents spread :? There were thirty long pages from Howler, with underlined capitals topped, And a short requisition from Growler, request? ing his newspaper stopped; There wero lyrics from Gusher, the poet, con? cerning sweet tlowrets and zephyrs, And a stray gem from Plodder, the farmer, de? scribing a couple of heifers; There were billets from beautiful maidens, and - bills from a grocer or two, And his best leader hitched to a letter which inquired if he wrote it, or who ? There wero raptures of praises from writers, of the smooth and mellifluous school, And one of his rival's last papers, informing him he was a fool; There wore several long resolutions, with names telling whom they were by. Canonizing some harmless old brother who had done nothing worse than to die; There were traps on that table to catch him, and serpents'to sting and to smite him \ There wore gift enterprises to sell him, and bitters attempting to bite him ; There were long, staring "ada" from the city, and money with never a one, Which added, "Please give this insertion, and send in your bill wnon you're done." There were letters from organizations?their meetings, their wants and their laws? Which said "Can you print this announcement for?-tho good of our glorious cause?" There wero tickets inviting his presence to fes? tivals, parties and shows, Wrapped in notes, with "Ploaso give us a no? tice," demurely slipped in at the close ; In short, as his eyo took the table, and ran o'er its ink-spattered trash, There was nothing it did not encounter, ex ^_cepting perhaps it was cash. A Second Husband Gives np his Wife and Three Children. The assertion that "truth is stranger than fic? tion" is certainly illustrated in the following sketch, and wc are indebted to J. C? Ryan, the clerk of the steamer St. Luke, for the princi? pal items: During the first year of the war, J. M. Waldrup left his pleasant home in Central Missouri and shouldered his musket to fight for what he considered right, and to spill his blood, if necessary, in defence of the Confederate cause. At home he left a young wife and one child, and from that time till last Sunday they never even heard from him. Mr. "Waldrup passed.through the Btruggle safely, and was paroled in St. Louis in 18G5. So soon as he could earn money enough he started to find his wife and child. He visited his old home, and called on his neighbors. But his search was unsuccessful. Iho only information he re? ceived was that his wife had taken the child and gone to live with some relatives in Calla way County. Visitiug Callaway County he obtained work on a farm, and settled down to ponder over the whereabouts of his wife and child, and toearn money enough to continue the search. In the meantime Mrs. Waldrup had heard that her husband was dead, and had gone to live with some relation near Cedar City, opposite Jefferson City, Missouri. Here she became acquainted with a well-to-do black? smith, whose name we have not learned. In due time they were married, and last week were living in their comfortable home at Cedar City and Mrs. Waldrup had blessed the black? smith with three fine children, the eldest five Jrears old. Last Saturday Mr. "Waldrup rode eisurely into Cedar City, and halting at the blacksmith shop requested that worthy to shoe his horse. While conversing on tho heat of the weather, crops, oca, the blacksmith learned Waldrup's story, and having heard his wife tell about her lost husband, surmised the truth, and in his blunt honesty invited Mr. Waldrup to go over to the house with him. The recog oition was mutual, and the wife fainted in her first husband's arms. After the first agitation Mr. Waldrup went back to the blacksmith shop^and- the men talked the matter over sen? sibly and coolly, and agreed to allow the wo? man to decide as to which man she would cling. After pondering the matter over in her own mind the doubly-mated lady decided to go with her first husband on condition that tho second allow her to take the children. By sonio' pro? cess of reasoning, inexplicable to us, he decided to give up wife and children, and Mr. and Mrs. Waldrup decided to come to St. Louis. Yester? day the St. Luke stopped at the landing, and Mr. W. came on board and engaged passage for himself and three children, and the blacksmith assisted his wife on board, and then brought on the children. Then came an affecting scene that brought tears to tho eyes of captain, clerks and.passengers. The deserted husband took first one child and then the other in his arms, and kissed them passionately, while the tears J rolled down his cheeks. Then ho bid good-bye to his wife, who 6eemed deeply affected, and lastly to Mr. Waldrup. The two men gazed into each other's faces, shook hands long and earnestly, and then the blacksmith, by a strong effort of will, released the hand of Mr. Wald? rup and walked oaickly ashore, never turning b? face toward tho boat?St. Louis Dispatch. The Man that Wasn't "Bottled Up."? An incident of the Burbridge raid on the Salt? works, in Virginia, during the fall of 1864 has just come to hand that will bear telling. A member of the "new issue," whose bravery was scarcely equal to his interest for personal safety while in a line of battle, spied a large, hollow log on the summit of the rugged cedar ridge near the then residence of "Governor" Sanders. Watching for a favorable opportunity, he suc? ceeded in crawling iuto the hollow of this log unobserved. It was then late in the evening, and our troops soou fell back a short distance toward the saltworks. Some of the boys (un? conscious of the animate patriotism therein contained), before leaving gave the aforesaid log a turn down the hill, and it only stopped when it reached the base. When tho vanguard of the raiders reached that point, they built fires, and made-believe they intended occupy? ing the position all night. A huge fire was built against our log, which soon made such headway that poor Confcd's quarters became very uncomfortable. He was painfully con? scious that he had to leave his hiding-place, and felt but little consolation in escaping roast? ing alive, to be made a target for negro soldiers to practice by fire-light. So, putting on as bold a front as the nature of the case and his ebbing courage would admit, he bounded forth, yelling "D?u you, do you mean to roast a man to death ? Oh, Lordy-." Consternation seized upon that squad of loyalists, and they scattered simultaneously ; nor did they stand on the order of going. Our hero caught the in? fection, and he, too, "went;" and he now avers that his "strategetic movements" so demoraliz? ed; the Yankee command that Burbridge was compelled to retreat without effecting his de? signs on the Saltworks. The principal in the above transaction is now living in the neigh? borhood of the Saltworks, and, wc believe, is unselfish enough to share honors with the troops who aided him in successfully repelling the vandal horde that sought to ra/e the works to the ground,?Southern ( Va.) Patriot. ? "Why do you set your cup of coffee upon }he chair, Mr. Jones?" said a worthy landlady one morning at breakfast. "It is so very weak, ma'am," replied Mr. Jones demurely, "1 thought I would let it take a rest." ? A naughty little boy blubbering because his.mother wouldn't let him. go down to the liver on the Sabbath, upon being admonished, Baid: "I didn't want to go a swimmin' with 'cm, ma. I only wanted to go down and nee tJic bad little boys drown for going a swimmin' qua Sundae " Intubation. The process of incubation of the chicken is a subject curious aud interesting, to the student of Nature, as will be seen by the following: The hen baa scarcely sat on her eggs twelve hours before some lineaments of the head and body appear. The heart may be seen to beat at the end of the second day ; it has at that time somewhat tho lorm of a horseshoe, but no blood yet appears. At the end of two days, two vesicles of blood are to be distinguished, the pulsation of which is very visible; one of these is the left ventricle, and the other the root of the great artery. At the fiftieth hour, one auricle of the heart appears, resembling a noose folded down upon itself. The beating of the heart is first observed in the auricle, and afterwards in the ventricle. At the end of seventy hours, the wings are distinguishable; and on the head two bubbles are seen for the brain, one for tics bill, and two for the fore aud hind part of tho head. Toward tho end of the fourth day, the two auricles already visible draw nearer to the heart than before. The liver appears toward the fifth day. At the end of a hundred and thirty-one hours, the first voluntary motion is observed. At the end of seven hours more, the lungs and the stomach become visible; and four hours afterward, the intestines, the loins and the upper jaw. At the hundred and forty-fourth hour, two ventricles are visible, and two drops of blood instead of the singlo one which was seen before. The seventh day the brain begins to have some con? sistency. At the two hundred and nineteenth hour of incubation, the bill opens and the flesh appears in the breast. In four hours more the breast-bone is seen. In six hours after this the ribs appear, forming from tho back, and the bill is very visible, as well as the gall-bladder. The bill becomes green at the end of two hun? dred and thirty-six hours; and if the chicken be taken out of its covering, it evidently moves itself. The feathers begin to shoot out toward the two hundred and fortieth hour, aud the skull becomes gristly. At the two hundred and sixty-fourth hour, the eyes appear. At the two hundred aud eighty-eighth, the ribs are perfect. At the three huudrcd aud thirty-first, the spleen draws near the stomach, and the lungs to the chest. At the end of three hun? dred and fifty-five hours, the bill frequently opens and shuts; and at the end of the eigh? teenth day, the first cry of the chicken is heard. It afterwards gets more strength and grows continually, till at length it is enabled to set itself free from its confinement. How "Wives Should be Treated.?The man who loves his wife will see that she is hap? py. He will find time to spend his evenings at home, and will never be at loss for society, for he will find in his wife, children and books, the best society in the world. He will treat his wife as the true partner of his joys, or of his sorrows and in the sacred retreat of home, the troubled heart will find that consolation that the out door world can never bestow. How many consult their wives in matter of business ? And yet there is no advice which should be sooner sought. Make it an established rule to consult your wir on all occasions. Your inter? est is hers, and no plan should be undertaken contrary to her advice and approbation. The wife should always be informed in regard to tiie state of her husband's finances, in order to exercise proper economy in the household, avoiding what would be meanness if his income were ample, or extravagance when his resour? ces are diminished If the wife is not per? mitted to 3hare her husbaud's counsel, at least in a general way, she is necessarily shut out from such sympathy with him, and one of the greatest sources of happiness is thereby dimin? ished. And let not the "lords of creation" de? spise the counsels which woman's naturally quick perception may suggest. A well-timed word from this source may at times be like the railroad switch to turn the train from running quickly to destruction. Moreover, in the daily intercourse with those you love in the family re? lation of husband and wife, a constant watch? fulness ought to be maintained over words and actions, in order to avoid inflicting unnecessa? ry pain. Remember to speak kindly to each other always. The Rat Nuisance.?A correspondent of the Mark Lane Express, writing on "the Rat Nuisance," says: I was talking to my cowman the other day, and asked him how it was that I never saw any rats about now: formerly if.I opened a loose door suddenly, I used to see a lot of rats scut? tling away, and now I never see one. "Well, sir," said ho, "it is the cats that does it; they do not get a great many old ones, but they nab all the young and unwary ones, and I snppose lead the old ones such an unsatisfactory sort of life that they have departed." I should think a farm, with its stacks, barns, out-houses, and loose boxes, would be as difficult to manage, to get rid of those beastly vermin, as an old half timbered house. I should recommend any suf? ferer to establish half a dozen tabbies. Feed them well and make much of them, as my wife's man does?it is a mistake to starve them, as they hunt for pleasuro, and it is great fun to see a well grown kitten come in with a small baby rat, looking as proud and pleased as pos? sible, and glad should its owner be, for it has destroyed a future mother or father. You should leave doors open or mako access to out of the way places where rats do most congregate.? Half-a-dozen cats to feed and pet certainly are trouble, but nothing in comparison with the nuisance complainea of." ! California Wonders.?Near tho confines of Fresho, Tulare, and Inyo counties, in the vicinity of the head waters of the Keweah, there exists a remarkable niece of country. The Indians sav it is the abiding place of the Evil Spirit. The country is ruggc-d and rocky ?mountain?, with deep valleys audprecipitous cii.Ts. Snakes and reptiles of every descrip? tion abound in untold numbers, and, taken in all, it i:s a wild and mo^t uninviting region. But aside from this a most curious phenome? non exists. The ground trembles and quakes almost continuously, and the abundant rocks grind and grit together as if being surged by somo terrible influence. Frequently, deep dis? charges aro heard, muffled ami dull, like the distant sound of heavy artillery. At night the sounds seem to be more abundant than in the day lime. No Indian can he induced to ven? ture near the locality, regarding it with super? stitious horror. No theory is advanced by any one to account for the strange phenomena men? tioned. Wc also learn from William Faymon villc that above the head of Crauo Valley, in this county, another place similar to the one mentioned exists. Persons who have visited the last place named describe the sounds men? tioned as like muffled thunder. A New theory or Storms.?An old colored si-tcr of Atlanta, according to the Suit, thus ac? counts for the recent destructive storm in that chy: "I can jes tell you what is do reason for all dis hail and wind and rain what de good Lord has poured out upon us poor sinners?it all comes of that ice meets!.ecu what the white folks bah started in dis town. Its agin natur? making of frcazin cold ice here in the month of July, and de good Lord is punishin? us fur to bo trying to bcsmartci dan He is. He don't make ice i:i do summer timo and when poor sinful man gets to goin agin do Lord, den lie's ^ure to punish 'em with storms of hail and rain and tarafying fevers- hie-- de Lord !" --n> o <-? ? One of the negro legislators of Mississip? pi shot a white man lor refusing to argue poli? tics with him. The Boston Post thus express scs its indignation : "If a negro can't compel a white man to answer when spoken to, what in the world is the use of civil rights?" ? An Irishman having jumped into the water to save a man from drowning, upon re? ceiving a quarter from the person us a reward for the service, looked (irsl :d the money aud then at him. and at last exclaimed, "I'm over? paid for the job." Summer Eating-. We cat to keep warm ami to sustain streng.li, and all articles of food have those two clemeits in varying proportion. Oils, tallow and while blubber are almost wholly of the warming oc ment; hence in Greenland, where the ther? mometer is many degrees below zero, anc a great deal of heat is required, a native wll drink a half a dozen gallons of oil every day, or eat ten pounds of tallow. In the hottest ci mates of the world the inhabitants live toa great extent on fruits and vegetables, whhh havc but very little of the heating qualitiis. In our climate, which is between the two, meats, vegetables and fruits are eateu all hie year round ; but if eaten judiciously, if eaten according to th? season?more of fruits and vegetables in summer and less of meats and fats?au incalculable amount of sickness would be prevented every year. Wc would think a man deranged who should keep as large fires burning in his house in summer as ir winter, and yet we all persist in eatiug meats aud fats and butter all through the summer.' Heats and butter are on our tables three times a day, when in reality they ought to be sparingly used du? ring the summer months, at least by the young, the old and feeble, and by all who are most of the time in doors, or who have no active employ? ment For the classes just named i very ap? propriate diet for the summer woulc be as fol? lows : Breakfast?Cold bread and butter, a slice of cold meat, or in its place a couple of eggs, or a saucer of berries or stewed fruit without milk, cream or sugar. The same for dinner, with one vegetable; no other desert. For supper some cold bread and butter and a cup of not drink, and nothing whatever between meals. So far from starving on such a diet the class of per? sons above named would thrive on it, would grow stronger, would have more bodily vigor, more mental elasticity, and a greater flow of animal spirits, and for the reason that few would eat too much ; (here would be nothing to over tempt the appetite, hence the stomach would not be over worked ; what work it did perform would be well done ; the blood made would be pure, life-giving, and energizing.? Any man of ordinary intelligence and obser? vation, who will give a fair trial to the above system of feeding, will scarcely fail to be con? vinced of its value within a week after he be? gins it.?From the Journal of Health. A Beautiful Demon.?In going \hrough the parish prison a few days since, the atten? tion of the reporter was attracted to a young girl, apparently not more than fifteen years of ase. She had fair, nut-brown hair, and a com? plexion fresh and white as milk. The mild blue eyes were siugularly soft and intelligent, and her whole appearance indictated the free, joy? ous characteristics of youth and happiness. Yet this amiable looking creature, this fair, del? icate Minerva, of slender form and injenuous face, is said to be a devil incarnate. She was not a prisoner, only a visitor to the institution, and when the reporter saw her she was convers? ing with a noted burgglar; indeed she says she is a cousin of Pete Munday's, and goes under the sobriquet of Lily. She is almost as fair and delicate as one. Her career is a remarkable series of adven? tures and hair-breadth escapes. About a year ago she lived in San Antonio, Texas, and for some real or fancied misconduct received a se? vere castigation at the hands of the man with whom she was living. Burning with resentment, and conscious of her inability to cope with him in physical strength, she waited until the next night, when he was asleep, and then locking the doors of the room and closing every avenue of escape, she prepared for a work of horror almost imposi ble to conceive. On one pretext or another she sent all the inmates of the house away, and procuring paper and other inflammable mate? rial, built a funeral pyre around the bed of the sleeping man. This done, she set fire to it, and locking the door behind her fled the house. The man woke up wheu the house was full of flames, and in escaping from the room was la? terally roasted. One side of his body was burned almost to a cinder. He has never re? covered from his injuries, and is to-day a hope? less invalid, suffering excruciation torture and continual anguish. His generosity?perhaps his sense of atonement?prevented his prose? cuting the girl, and she made her escape to New Orleans. Arriving here, she took apart? ments on Toulouse street, between Rampart and Burgundy, where she still resides. She is yet very young, certainly not more than seven? teen at furthest, and her vindictive and savage fury wheu excited is a terror to all her acquain? tances. It i3 strange that beneath an exterior so fair and beautiful should be concealed the elements of such lawless violence.?New Orleans Pica? yune. As Incident uf the Late War.?It was in Salisbury that Stoneman's troops, just after Lee's surrender, were met by Bradley Johnson's men, who fought until they wero overpowered at the Toll "Gate, near that place. They then mado their entry into Salisbury four deep, their horses gaily caparisoned, and their arms shin? ing brightly in the sun. A Lieutenant Stolkes, aia to Bradley Johnson, sat on his horse?alone ?and watched them away off as thoy come up Main street. Ho orderea all the women and children in doors. Then, when the head of the column got within speaking distance, he flour? ished his navy shooter and commanded "halt 1" The column not knowing how large a force he might have in reserve, "halted" at his orders. When, taking a quick and steady aim at the officer in front, "bang" went his pistol; the of? ficer fell dead, aud Stolks was flying like light? ning on his mettled steed, hotly pursued, and a hurricane of balls zooing after him. As he turned down by the Mansion House he wheeled in his saddle and toppled another Yank. He escaped without a scratch, and we reckon is now living in Frederick, Maryland. The officer he killed was a Captain Edwards, one of Gen. Stoneman's best captains.?Hilhboro1 Recorder, Cure for Astiima.?The following cure for Asthma was recently published in the George? town Times, signed by A. .Morgan, of that town. For the benefit of those afflicted with that dis? ease, we append the card of Mr. Morgan : Half-ounce Iodide Potassum and half-pint of water; mix and lake tablespoon full three times a day ; after two weeks reduce the quantity?in a month stop using, unless symptoms return, then lake a dose. I was badly afflicted for years, and oi* all cures tried, none gave but a few hours relief; and from the first dose*l never had it since. 1 would earnestly recommend all newspapers to publish this, as it will be the greatest benefit they can confer on the public, and which none but the ailiictcd can appreciate. I trtts! all readers will etil it out, and paste in a good family book. I will send hundreds of these printed cards over the State to the news? papers. I .-im an old man, and my only object is to benefit the afflicted. P. S.?I was given this cure several limes but only one-third lite quantity, and received no benefit. I Uses ok Ice.?We quote the following from an exchange, if true, it is worth remember? ing : "The curative and relieving powers of ice are found more valuable year aller vear. Small ' lumps of ice swallowed whole will often check j acute stomach inflammations, and will prevent nausea if heal i-; applied outside at the same i time.

A large amount of money has been already invested in the erection of costly machinery for the working of the mines, and we trust will bear its legitimate fruits. We hail with pleasure the introduction of capital into our midst, and arc prepared to second, with heart and hand, these efforts to develop our material resources.?Abbeville Press and Banner. The First Saw-Mill.?The old practice in making boards was to split up the logs with wedges; and inconvenient as the practice was, it was no easy matter to persuade the world that the thing could be done in any better way. Saw-mills were first used iu Europe in the fif? teenth century, but so lately as 1555, an Am bassodor, having saw a saw-mill in France, thought it a novelty which deserved a particu? lar description. It is aversion to labor-saving machinery has always agitated England. The first saw-mill was established by a Dutchman, in 1663; but the public outcry against the new? fangled machine was so violent, that the pro Srietor was forced to., decamp with more expe ition than ever did Dutchman before. The evil was thus kept out of England for several years, or at least generations ; but in 1767 ; an unlucky timber merchant, hoping that after so long a time, the public would be less watchful of its interests, made a rash attempt to con? struct another mill. The guardians of the public welfare, however, were on the alert, and a conscientious mob at once collected and pulled tho mill to pieces. ? The New York Evening Mail has seen a letter on the subject of narrow gauge railways from Mr. Robert Fairlie, the distinguished English engineer, who has been identified from the first with the narrow gauge in Europe. He writes that the experiments made in Rus? sia are completely successful, and as evidence of it gives the fact that trains of 345 tons are hauled by light engines over light rails up an incline of one in eighty for five miles?254 tons of the whole amount carried being paying freight. This is 2.78 paying tons for everyone of dead weight. On roads of the present gauge in this country, the proportion of pay? ing to dead weight is one to one, so that, as Mr. Fairlie puts it, while Russian narrow gauge roads carry 254 tons in 05 tons of cars, we require 254 tons of cars at least to give the same results. Mr. Fairlie gives it as his delib? erate opinion that the engine bearing his name, with light rolling stock on a two-foot gauge, will perform a greater service than the best broad gauge road in the United States, and that there will be a great saving besides. He prefers the three-foot gauge to all others, be? lieving that it has a greater capacity than any other ever attempted. TnE "Wild Beast Trade?An English magazine says: "The trade in wild beasts is a system as regular as the trade in tea, coffee or cotton, or any other merchandize. Some creatures, of which parrots are the most nu? merous, arc brought over by sailors, who intend them, perhaps, as presents for their sweet? hearts, but they sell them for grog or tobacco as soon as they land. A dealer has agents in every country; and theso agents communicate with the natives of the various countries. The system is now carried to such perfection, that if any gentleman or lady would like an ele? phant for private riding, a tiger as an orna? ment to the garden, a crocodile or hippopota? mus for the lake, or an ostrich or an emue for the lawn, the wish can be gratified by merely addressing a letter to the London dealer. He will calculate distance, time occupied in catch? ing and transporting the desired animal, give a close estimate of the cost, and deliver it at the door on the appointed day." ?
