Rev. W. A. Calybaus, pastor of the German Lutheran Church at Liverpool, New York, who has been some time in? temperate and addicted to opium-eating, died lust week from an over-dose. "Bob, is your sistor at home?" "Yes; but she won't seo you to-night. " "Why ?" "Because sho said she was going to have one moro mess of onions, if oho never got another beau." Among tho Cheviot hills of Scotland they boast of sheep whoso wool will mea? sure eleven aud a half inches. Ex-Governor Walker, of Florida, in n recent lotter, .says: "Having stolen no? thing, 1 am very poor." Mr.. EDITOR: Was it o wag, who had not his face washed for a week, who in? serted tho paragraph iu Sunday's PHCB NIX, relativo to Germans being drunk on Inger; or was it a mau who despises lager, because he loves old Bourbon whiskey better? Atony rate, it has been a wonder to the writer, that Americuu journals have, with few exceptions, taken sides with tho French in the ingoing struggle. What does this mean? Do thoy feel moro sympathy forthat powor, because it is on the brink of rniu? Or do they hopo that the God of Battles may turn the scales of victory and let the "Datch" bo beaten? We, at uny rate, should kuow that tho Gorman element in the United States is a respectable class, and as such claims respectable treatment. Many may aud certainly do laugh, if they hear a "sot," bedizzeued with "old rye," makiug fuu aud splurging his jokes about lager, saur kraut aud Limburger choese, and about all tho Dutch, aud bringing up eulogies for the Frenoh, whom said "be? dizzeued" individual does not know uor cares to know, aud of whom ho only kuows that thoy make fino kid gloves, eat frogs aud drink sometimes cham pague. Tho samo bedizzened individual would champion any race us soon, if one of them would treat him to a glass of I Bourbon, uomatterhow meau; and really wo believe, if the Dutch would prefer "Bourbon" to lager, this wag would not be so bitter. Poor fellow, he does not kuow that the real Dutch drink lager very sparingly, but apply themselves to better occupations, as may be seeu al? ready by the results achieved in this war. German intelligence, prowess and valor hus repelled thc aggressions of tho most powerful nation of tho European continent. German science has shown itself to bo the most superior in tho world, iu warfare as well as iu peaceful pursuits. This is au established fact, and with this, Mr. Editor, the Germnus wdio live peacefully here iu foroigu lauds, aud who are satisfied that iu their ob? scure stations, they do as much for the general good as any good citizen eau; they do not desire to have their natiou made synonym wdth lager, saur kraut and pretzel. Mr. Rauchinella may do it, and we laugh; but a decent journal, like yours, should say something for the Dutch sometimes; not always talk for old Bourbon aud tho frog. Have uot thc Germans in the South, asmen, taken up tho musket in tho late war? Have they uot, as men, set their lives, goods and property at play for our lost cause? Why, theu, now turu tho table and be laugh the good pluck of their couutry rneu and play with their feelings? We have no sensitiveness so fine as not to bc able to understand a good joke, but if such jokes-and bad ones come un? merited-day by day, then we must cau? tion auv one, "STOP YOUR FIDDLES!" INVESTMENTS IN CONFEDERATE BONDS. Thc Raleigh (N. C.) Standard says: We leam that the decision, of Chief Justice Chase in a case lately depending before him (Head and others r.s. Tolly, administrator,) touching investments made by administrators, guardiaus, etc., iu bonds of the late Confederate States, was that where an administrator pur? chased such securities directly from the insurgent government, though one of its officers, with thc funds of his bene? ficiary, he must be held responsible for the amount so invested. Such a trans? action, directly furnishing money to the insurgents to carry on tho war agaiust the United States, could not be recog? nized by the courts of the United States. Tho Chief Justice intimated no opi? nion as to what would be the law in case a person acliug iu a fiduciary capacity invested trust funds bona fide iu Con? federate securities, purchased, not from the Confederate Government, but in open market, without auy intent to aid the rebellion. Wo make this explanation because tho simple aunounccment of thc decision of Chief Justice Chase, iu tho case of Head vs. Tally, administrator, might causo the souls of administrators, etc., actiug as such during the late war, to quako with iu them. Congressman Butler, of Tennessee, bas some hard charges to answer: first, forgery, by which he absorbed other people's pensions; second, robbing the mails, by which tho pensioners received uo satisfaction from tho department as to why their pensions were not paid, and third, perjury, iu taking the iron? clad oath to practice before the Court of Claims, when, at a subsequent date, au Act removing disabilities, was found ne? cessary iu his case, beforo he could tako his seat. Mr. Butler is ono of thc most reliable Republicans in the House. A HINT FOR NEW ORLEANS.-A letter from Foochow, says they are exhibiting a Chiuese criminal in n wooden cage, where he will stand until death. He is about twenty years of oge. His crimo is kidnapping cbildreu. Ho stands in the cage with his head through a hole in the top, his toes bandy touching tho floor iug. Thc records of thc French War Of fice show that during the first half of the eighteenth century, ending fivo year after the day of Fontenoy, -100,000 Irish men tlied in tho French service, aud that during the last half of the century, l?O, u?l) Irishmen fell in battle nuder th banuers of Franco. The Northern journals, which uro gc nerally in sympathy with Prussia, sa\ tho fall of tho Napoleonic dynasty wi j be ono of thc results of the war, and tho moro enthusiastic of them declare ' that Prussia will now have thu making of the map of Europe. A negro and his wife have died within a iew weeks of each other, nt Thomas ton, Georgia, aged 1"! and lu;) years. Tho Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald, says: "If all tho facts were known, and the time approaches when they will bo, wo would not bo at all surprised to know that ono Mr. Pemberton had about as much to do with tho campaign and cap? ture of Vicksburg, as any other man; and that the main planning for its capturo was done by, through, nr.d with him; aud if tho officers, who had tho paroles for Vicksburg prisoners printed weeks before tho capture, and the dato, July 4, 1863, printed in them, could bo heard from, it would bo very likely to bo made to appear that Mr. Pomberton's planning and Federal gold had moro to do with the final rosult of that campaign than all of Mr. Graut's planning, or tho planning of the other General referred to. How? ever, time and tho future will reveal all this. Perfidy of any enormity never did and never will lio coucenlod forever. Murder will out, and though slow, jus? tice is very sure."

The friends and acquaintances of Dr. and Mrs. SAMUEL FAIR are invited to attend the fuueral of tho former, at tho Presbyterian Church, THIS AFTERNOON, at 5 o'clock. THE SEASON OF EXHAUSTION_Tho close sultry weather which usually prevails toward thc end of summer is particularly un? favorable to thc feeble aud enervated. Even the well-knit frames of strong men feel tho in dnc-ncc ot tho season, aud lr.ssitudo and languor pervade thc whole community. Ladies, especially those in delicate health, suffer much from debility, occasioned by the humid heat, and feel the want of a whole? some iavigorant. In fact, a necessity for something to recruit thc exhausted system ia experienced, more or h ss, hy everybody, and the only question is, what that something wilt be. With those who have tested tho effect of HOSTETTERS STOMACH BITTERS on themselves, or haye observed its effects on others, this question will not be in doubt for a single moment. Its tonic and regulating operation, and its agency in creating a healthy appetite and promoting digestion, are rightly classed by all who have resorted to thia unequalled vegetable iuvigoraut and corrective, among the moat extraordinary therapeutic wonders of modern times. It should bo taken At this season aa a safeguard against the epidemic diseases which are so apt to attack tno relaxed system in the tall of tho year. As it ia umlorstood that mercenary specula? tors in various parts of tho country are en? deavoring to fluporscdo tho standard tonic of the age with worthless articles manufactured hy themselves, which they represent to bo superior to this long tried remedy, it is proper to put the public on their guard against this species of imposition, and to warn them against the deloterioua trash with which dis? honorable dealore seek to drench them. _Au'?
