The Mack hole of Calcutta.
Lord Clive, while a Colonel. of the British
army, commenced.his career as founder of the
British empire in India. Full of honors ands
wealth he returned to England, but being de
feated in getting into Parliament, in 1755
sailed under the King's command, again for
India, the ;;ompany appointing him to the
Governorship of Fort . St. David. But the
very day he stepped into the gubernatorial
chair, at Madras, the Bengal Nabob took Cal
cutta. Then came that chapter of unheard of
cruelty, familiar to.uvery child who has learn
ed 'to read his story Lamb. The trag,•edy of
the Black Hole occurred iu 17.56, just a bun
tired years ago,
The dungeon was but twenty feet square
Midsummer heat was parching India. 'Th'e
little garrison thought.it all a joke, when they
were ordered to go in ; — l7fit - "iAlrefuse 111.5 to

(keyed prohm.ged suffering was better thaa
instant death ; they entered, onebtunired and
forty-six in all. The door was 'closed, the
small aperture admitted neither light nor air.
When they began to exchange breaths the
startling truth burst upon them. The air al
ready was almost putrid ; they shrieked, they
yelled in mortal agony ; they screamed, fur
water and then killed each other with the cup
which was passed through the grating, while
the poor prisoners . were biting and squeezing;
each other's life away=gasping for air, fur
anything to relieve them of their agony. The
jailors laughed and dewed in pure delight.-
1101 med, the highest in . rank. offered the jail
or heavy liribes ; but no, the Nabob was sleep
ing, and no one dared to wake him. In the
morning, when the debauch was slept away,
lie ordered the dungeon door to be opened,
and out staggered twenty-three swollen, dis
torted living corpses! One hundred mid
twenty-three were piled up—a putrifying
mass of men—all shapes and forms were re
presented in thedeath struggle. The English
woman who, survivellwas setit to the harem of
the Prince of Moorshedahad. llobned Was
saved and tells the talc. The dead were
burned on the spot, but the harrowing pic
ture did nut move in the least the granite dis
position of the human tiger. The horrible
deed reached - Clive, and - the celebrated battle
of Massey showed the inhuman Nabob that it .
was a fiad hardy thing to trifle with the feel
ings of Englishmen. The soldiers fought like
L1111 , 1(1;4%4 ; revenge stimulated them on, and
the Nabob's army of 60,0i_at strong- was broken
like a reed. Clive lost but twenty-two lIICII.
A Pcfplc Living without llrater.—"The day
before we reached the Orange River," says
Anderson in his Four Years' Wanderings-in
South-West Africa, "we fell in with a krail - i)f
Hottentots, Ni,hlllll, to our great surpri,e, we
f‘unid livih g in a locality altogether destitute
of water! The milk of their cows and goats
supplied its place. Their cattle, moreover,
never obtained water, hut found a substitute
in a kind of see plant (mesembry anthemum)
of nn exceedingly. succulent nature, which
abounds in these regions. 'But our own oxen,
wit accustomed. to sueh diet, would rarely or
never toueli it. - Until 1 had actually

perhaps, have had sortie difficulty in realizing

GETTYSBURG; PENNSYLVANIA.: MONDAY, AUG. 4, 1856.
How They Clean House Where Dm:sticks Boards.
They begin at the top of the house, move all
the chamber furniture into the cellar; and Five
the bedrooms into keeping of amphibious
Grecian maidens, with skirts pinned to the
back of tlieir necks—these modern mermaids
soak them fur two days in hot water and lath
er the floor with soap, amusing themsehies
meanwhile getting roaring drunk on the fri
vate brandy of the boarders. These latter
unfortunates pervade the establishment in
all directions, seeking for something to eat,
which they don't get, and searching for their
beds, which they never find.
I remember house-cleaning season as a
time when we always lied picked up codfish
breakfast, 1
a dash of black pepper hides all the extra
dirt—when we drank our coffee out of tin ba
sins and poured the milk out of gravy boats—
when a pie dish did duty as a sugar basin—
when we eat oar broiled mackerel off of pickle
,ontes with kitchen forks, the silver being all
locked up to keep it from the white-washers
— w h en ofm t pkios, we had night caps
and pocket handkerchiefs in al snit equal pro
portions—when we burnt our own toast, and
then couldn't get hustling to grease it with
but rtmking bolder , which speedily resolved it
self intO its original elements, lard oil. and
cheap salt. In my last place the landlady al
ways.drank herself full of beer immediately
after breakfast, and then staggered about the
house making insane efforts to sweep cob-webs 1 ,
off the wall with a case-knife.
I slept that night on the lounge in the back
parlor, from which 1 rolled off four tim on
the last occasion making an extra revolniion,
which brought my head over the furnaee reg
ister, so that, when I at I was half cooked.
I aroused, however, beforel was done through,
apd camped out on the carpet until morning.
"tats,t up early with a stifineek and went to
my room to perfOrm toy daily lathering pen
ance with the brush and razor. 1 volunteered
a clean shirt: went to my drawer to get it. On
the top of the spotless linen therein bestowed,
I discovered that the :motherly care of Mrs.
C. had placed :four pair of old boots, a fluid
lamp, and a bottle of cologne. The-top of the
lamp had come off--- so had the cork of the bot
tle—the shirt was fro grout with eamphene,
lint the -collar was ' strOts: , l v seented with co
logne, so the average smelt was-lair. -
During these days Potpie and gentle De!s
delliona did not neglect their opportunities;
As soon as they- could steal the key to the
book-ease they took a sot of the Waverly' nov
els iu seventy-eight volumes, made a house
tberci)f in the back yard, on the roots of the
grape vine, and built a tire in it for 4 Fourth
of July celebration. The conflagration was
only stayed witcu Rob Roy and Ivammhoe -were
i p m it 0 conse ni ed. -
The Bridge of Lammermoor was ruined and
nothing left of Kenilworth kn. thecovers. That
same day the young-manimarly - cut-his-sis
ter's nose off, trying to shave her with my ra
zor. They of course searched every drawer
in the house—and once they had a desperate
tittarrel about the ownership of my cigar ease,
he claiming by capture, and-she by right of
discovery, as she had found it in time pocket
of my Sunday coat. The brother was furious
—at last Potpie seemingly yielded, Ira only
.to ultimately triumph by treachery. In the
coarse theof
. afternoon he entrapped her into
'
a whiskey barrel, under the pretence of play
ing. "circus,"—when he once had her safely
inside he headed her up by nailinc , P' a board
-across
. the top with a hatchet, and made de
liberate preparations to drown her into FLI Ll
missiun by administering dirty soap - suds in
lour quart doses—Nt man heard her cries for
mercy, and arrived at.the spot as the exultant
victor was poising a pailful of the delectable
fl u id above her head, and site was humbly

On the last day of this memorable time I
was turned over to the tender mercies of a
strange cook, Mrs. C. and all the regular help
being 'engaged in a saugninary war of exter
mination up stairs with a multitude of inter
lopers who had colonized the bedsteads, and
who were strong enough in numbers and oth
erwise to have offered an effective resistance
had they been united, but n'ot being unani

and sacritieed in di•tail.

ties. She rriedmy potatoes with the skins on,
and the eggs without taking oil the shells.
She boiled my steak in the tea kettle, and in
trying to'lish it out with' the broomstiek she
dropped it into the ashes. I asked her for a
glass of water, she brought-me some in a soap
Indic and presented it at me like a musket.
From this latter manceuver I suspected "she
haul been drinking—this impression was
strengthened when, on my replying in theitf
lirmative to her inquiry whether I would have
"apple dumpling," she brought me a piece of
rice pie on a gridiron—but I did not consider
her absolutely drunk until she attempted to
pour my second cup of tea out of the tolling
Upon this I immediately withdrew from
her presence, leaving Biddy propped up
against the dresser,"Rock-a-bye-ba

The editor of the Albany Police Tribune
tells the following:
Some fiVt: years since, two well-known Al
b:Mil:11S left this city to seek their fortunes at
Washington. We will call them Mr. A. and
Mr. 13. Mr. A. got a contract from the Oov
ernment, and mode a nice little pile, some
$.10,04)0 worth of real-estate. While acquir
ing this property, Mr. A. contracted about
$7,000 of debts, $2,500 of which belonged to
:\ fr. B. Mr. A. Was not more honest than
the-law allows, so he thought he Would get
rid of those 'cussed hines,' his creditors, by
making over his property to niece, a fine
looking young-lady aged about eighteen. Ile
accordingly went to a lawyer, made out the
ossiened tle whole of his real
estate to his niece, the interesting young lady
alrvady spoken of. Having concluded Ids ar
rangements, fie thought lie would go South
and look at the country. This took place last
summer. During Itis absence in pursuit of
quietness nod cotton fields, Mr. B. ascertains
all about the assignment, and goes in for ma
king all things square. Ile commenced ope
rations by eourtin ! 2; the mess aforesaid, and
finished up by marrying., her. When Mr. A.
rehults from Georgia he finds that he has liee lt
bent—that Mr. it. bas rn,it only got the value
of his debt, but $:f1„,500 worth of re.d estate
in addition. Mr. A. is.itow swearing in eight
syllables, and insists that it is a conspiracy.

Strangelustaitre (!f Sympalliy.—The 'French

a. singular instaiwe of constitutional avin pa

were twine—the President de Ranquemore,
and the Clovernor de Bcrgues, who were
surprisingly alike not only in their persons,
but in their feelings. One mornim4, he tells

given to cows twice a week, seems to act as a
preventive against many of the diseases inci

in small quantities, saves a great amount Of
labor at the churn---44 fact . worth knowiny to
those who have to toil :tri hour or inure to bring
a few pounds of butter, and perhaps then of
an inferior quality. Some heifers, whieh with
their first calf give but a small quantity of
milk, will, in two or three years, become-good
cows.

The opposition found great fault with — the
Democratio party, in 1844 and 185'2, for put

"obscure and untried men" (but which was
not true in point of filet) fur the Presidency.

meeting at Springfield,. Mass., as wound it
in the Argus of that place.

South would be twilled by the earl/Nye-box, if
not by 11w ballot-box; that, in certain contizt

There is the, true Black Republican spirit

Warren. They can only triumph upon its

Graphic Picture of Black Republicanism.
At this moment, when some of our best, cit

because they will not join the Ithvek Republican
ranks, or lose their identity in the Know
Nothing dens, the following letter from HEN-.
BY CLAY, which we cut out of an old paper, is
,most apposite. It will be seen that it Is near
ly sixteen years old. It - points out, briefly.
and clearly, the baneful tendencies of Black
Repuyieanism—its cruelty, its ingratitude,
its falsehood, its hostility to the Constitution,
its hostility to labor, its injurious consequences
upon the Irish and German citizens, when the
blacks are set free, to become their rivals, &c.

in the face of such. an appeal to take arms

Indeed, he prophecies the present fearful state
of things when ho calls upon Mr. COLTON to
show that the agitation of the question in the

' DEAR SIR: Allow me to suggest a sub

your popular rind condensed way, - I think
would be attended with great and good effect.
I moan Abolition.
It is manifest that the ultras of that party
are extremely mischievous, and tiro hurrying
on the country to fearful consequences. .En
ffrassed with a single idea, they care for netts
mg 0180. They would see the administration of
the government precipitate the nation into ab
solute ruin, befere'they would land a helping
hand to arrest its career, They treat worst,
and denounce molt, those who treat them best;
who so for agree with them as to admit sla
very to he' an evil. Witness their conduct'
towards Mr, Brigws and Mr. Adams, in Mas 7 l
sachusetts,
.and towards me.
I will give you an outline of the manner
which I would handle it : Show the origin of
slavery. Trace its introduction to the British
Government. Show how it is disposed:of by
the Federal Constitution. That it is left ex
clusively to the States, except in regard to fu
gitives, direct taxeg and representation. 'Show
that the agitation of the question in thefree
States will first destroy all harmony,'And
tinetion of the African race—ultimate
despotism. •

A Brilisb. Enemy.
The London Times, the great vituperator of
the American people and. Ainerican institu
tions, the foulest-mouthed enemy, with the
exception of the New York fferaid, we have
in the world, is out in its most odious and dir

ally of Giddings and Seward. 7 —Day‘on Em

Drinking and Perspiration.—The human
system, in its vital or muscular power, is very
analagouS to an electrical machine. Damp=
ness. dispels the force of both, apparently in
the same way. Hence the debilitating effect
of hot weather, caused principally by exces
sive perspiration. The quantity of perspira
tion can be greatly lessened by refraining.
from unnecessary drinking, Any one can
soon school himself to the requirement of
several times less of liquid than he is usually
accustomed to drink, by taking only a small
quantity at once, and repeating it 'only as of
ten as thirst is felt`
Cockroaches and their Value.—W - ebster's
"Voyage of the Chanticleer" informs us that
cockroaches are plentiful at St. Helena. Pro
vious to the ship's arrival there, the crew had
suffered great inconvenience from bed-bugs ;
but the cockroaches no sooner made their ap
pearanee than the bugs entirely disappeared.
The cockroach preys upon them, leaving no
sign or' ve,qige where they have been. This
may be true, but the bed-bug has in our beds
the - advantage of being able to prowl where
the roach cannot go by reason of its great size.
A II ydrophobic Pun.----Theodore Hook,
once walking with a friend, passed a pastry
cook's shop, in the window of which was the
usual inscription —" Water Ices and Ice
Cream." "Dear me," said Theodore, "what
an admirable description of the effects of
hydrophobia." "How can that be I" said his
friend ; "what have water ices and ice creams
to do with hydrophobia?" "Oh," replied
Hood, "you do not road it right. I read it
thus : Water I.sees, and I screams."
