SOLDIKKS AFTER TIIE Wlß. —Macaulay, in the por
tion of his history relating to the state of English so
ciety at the close of the great revolution, touches on
a subject curiously paralleled in our own times.—
Speaking of the fears that were then entertained as to
the result of dUbauding Cromwell's army and throw
ing its unruly elements back into society, he says :
'The troops were now to be disbanded. Fifty
-housand men, accustomed to the profession of arms,
vere at once thrown on the world, and experience
eemed to warrant the belief that this change would
produce much misery and crime—that the discharged
veterans would be seen begging in even' street, or
would be driven by hunger to pillage. But no such
a result followed. In a few months there remained
not a trace indicating that the most formidable army
in the world had just been absorbed into the mass of
the community. The royalist themselves confessed
that, in every department of honest industry, the dis
carded warriors prospered bevond other men; ♦'.at
none was charged with any theft or robbery: that none
was heard to ask an alms; and that, if a baker, a ma
-on, or wagoner attracted notice bv his diligence and
sobriety. Ac teas, in all probability, out of Olive ft
old soldier s."
MKN'TAI, EXERTION*. —It has been asserted by per
aons whose intellectual powers were of the highest
order, and whose industry was as remarkable as their
ftbiiitt, that more than six or eight hours every day
could not be employed effectively by the generality
of young for the purpose of mental improvement.—
If this be the case—and it is probably not very far
from the truth—in vain does the ambitious student
rob nature of that sleep which Providence has mnde
necessary for the renovation of the exhausted pow
ers of the mind: and in vain also does be attempt to
combine simultaneously the efforts of mental atten
tion with bodilv exercise, or to pursue his severer
studies during the hour of meals.— Prof. Kidd.
THE GOLD DISCOVERIES IN* MICHIGAN. —The De
troit Free Press savs : "We have some more facts in
reia'ion to the gold discoveries in Van Buren county.
On Wednesday last Messrs. E. Smith, W. S, Wiggins
and J. 11. Tattle went across the marsh where the
first discoveries of gold were made, and commenced
working in the small streams that come down from
the hills, where they obtained coarser gold than has
yet bean found, and that which is known by the mi
ners as'shot"gold. Eight pieces were obtained in
one pan of dirt and each nan contained more or less
gold. This has increased the excitement, an d many
people are now prospecting among the hills. The
quartz rock in that vicinity has indications of gold ;
it has also other minerals, such as iron, quicksilver
and the like.
COFFER AX TEA CI I.TCRE IN CALIFORNIA. —The
cultivation of coffee and tea promises to become an
important business in California. One nursery at
Sacramento has over five thousand coffee-plants on
trial, and it is believed that there will be no difficulty
in bringing up the plant to a standard of hardiness to
weather the mild winter of that climate. Near the
Mission Dolores several thousand tea-plants have been
raised during the last year. The tea-plant is grown
in China and Japan very extensively in latitudes cor
responding to all California, and the San Franisco
journals think there can be little doubt that it will be
little doubt that it will be cultivated hereafter, for
household purposes at least, on every farm in that
State. — Gard. Monthly,
A MADMAN'S FEKUNGS.— The Tier. Robert Hall,
in "Green's Reminiscences," in allusion to his first
attack of mania, says All my imagination has been
overstretched, You, with the rest of my friends,
tell me that I was only seven weeks in confinement,
and the date of the year corresponds, up that I am
bound to believe you, but they have appeared to me
like seven years. My mind was so excited, and my
imagination so Kvelv and active, that more ideas pass
ed through my mind during those seven weeks than in
any seven years of my life. Whatever I had obtained
from reading or re fleet km was present to me.' 1
Zixc. —A large proportion of the public may not
be aware that the use of zinc vessels for domestic
purposes is extremely dangerous. Vinegar, eider,
wine, and in fact, all acids which have remained in
zinc, become poisonous more or less violent; this is
even the ease with ntflk, which contains a powerful
acid termed acid latque. Various cases of sickness,
eholic. and even mamr deaths of young children, have
oeeured, the cause of which have deen clearly traced
to the aae of milk that has been in contact with this
metal.
A MARTTAI. BUFFOON-. —There is often a buffoon at
tached to each Rnssain company, who amuses his
comrades by his jests and antics, and is generally a
great favorite. On one occasion in the Caucasus,
when the troops were driven back by the Circassians,
the buffoon was wounded and left behind. A favor
ite jest of his had been to crow like a cock ; and as he
lay on the ground, he thought of the only way to
save himself and crowed. This hail such an effect
on his comrades, that they rallied, charged again, and
saved him.
THE MEMORY of Jefferson was dishonored by a dis
union celebration of his birthday, at the Broadway
hotel, New York, Wednesday evening. The compa
ny was small hut select, and ex-Governor Seymour
of Connecticut and C. C. Burr made the only
speeches. Burr declared that cowardice of the dem
ocratic party had ruined the country. Vallandig
ham was toasted as "the champion of liberty," and
another toast enthusiastically received was: "The
presidential contest of 1804—A fair vote or a free
fight."
JAMES T, once went out of his war to hear a noted
clergyman, who, upon his entrance into church, left
his text to declaim ag-'nst swearing, for which the
King was notorious, b nen he had finished, James
thanked him for his sermon, but asked him what con
necton swearing had with it? "Since your Majesty
rame out of the way to hear me." said the clergy
man. "I could do no less than go out of mine to
meet vou."
Is THE curiosity department of the New York fair
was a mutilated one dollar greenback, which had
been pierced with rebel bullets and afterwards taken
from the dead body of a private Union soldier killed
in battle. His mother sent it to the fair as the only
contribution her limited means would allow her to :
and last Saturday a patriotic lady was so much and
so s®nsibly effected hy the touching historr of this
bit of paper money that the bought it for a hundred
dollars*
THE LEOISJUTTKE of this Stntc adjourned on Thurs
day the sth inst. The apportionment and appropria
tion hills were passed as also a bill to purchase the
fine building on Front street, belonging to the estate
of Wells Coverlv dec'd. as a residence for the Gov
ernor, at a cost of S2O 000. The much needed en
largement of the Capital building has again been
postponed, on the score of economy. The bill in
creasing the pay of Judges and members of the Legis
lature has failed.
'How do I look. Pompev," said a young dandy to
his servant, as he had finished dressing himself.
'Elegant, massa: you look as bold as a lion.'
'Bold as a lion, Pompey ! How do you know?
You never saw a lion.
'(), yes, massa, 1 seed one down to massa Jenks,'
inde stable.'
'Down to Jenks,' Pompey? Why you abominable
fool, Jenks' hasn't got a lion ; that's a jackass.'
'Can't help it, massa, you look just like him.'
THAT rtixsmiocs STRAXOER, whose sudden and
mysterious debut in Johnstown recently, we noticed
last week, to wit, the frog found snugly imbeded
in a chunk of solid rock, has died. Nothing is known
to a certainty, but it is supposed he "piped out"' of a
broken heart at finding himself the matter of say a
thousand years behind the genius of the stirrngi, be
wildering times wherein we lire, and into which he
was so violentvy precipitated. Poor frog!
The Chicago Times, noted as one of the foremost
peace organs in the country, frankly takes ground
against the conclusions arrived at by Congressman
LOXG in his now famous speech. It argues strongly
against any movement looking toward a recognition
of the confederacy, and denies that any considerable
portion of the Democratic party are disposed to take
that ground.
A REC EXT French work says that every 10,500 years

UFFICE of COMMITTEE ON LAEOR, INCOMES A REVENUES,
No. 118 SOUTH SEVENTH STREET, PMII A DELE HI A,
APRIL 4TH, 1864.
The Committee on "Labor, Incomes and Revenncs." in
vite co-operation with them in the particular work for
which they have been appointed. As no portion of the
people are more patriotic than the working men and Wo
men of the country, it is bat just and proper that they
should alike hare an opportunity to contribute to the ob
ject of the Fair. The most equable plan for accomplish
ing this, and, at the same time the easiest one, is to ask
for the contribution of a SINGLE DAY'S LABOR from all
classes iu the community. Many will contribute a day of
their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their mon
ey. TO reach every department of industry and ar'. will be
a work of great labor, uut if attaiuad, will be productive
of iumiese results.
The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty
co-operation of every element of influence within our lim
its aud we invito all the guardians of the industrial inter
ests, and all others, to take hold with us in furthering this
great work of pasriotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with the following duty, to
FIRST. —To obtain the contribution of" one day's labor."
or earnings, from every artisan and laborer, foreman, op
erative and employee; president, cashier: toller and clerk
of every incorporated aud unincorporated company, rail
road and express company, employing firm, bank, manu
factory, iron-works, oil-works, mill, mine nnd public of
fice; from every private baukerand broker, importer, auc
tioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman ; design
er, finisher and artist; publisher, printer and mechanic;
from every government oflier, contractor and employee;
grocer, butcher, baker and dealer: farmer, horticulturist
aud producer; from every mantua manker, milliner and
female operative: every individual engagod in turning
the soil, tending the loom, or in any way earning a liveli
hood, or building a fortune within the States of Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey and Delaware.
SECOND. —To obtain the contribution of one day's "Rev
enue," from all the great employing establisements, firms,
corporations, companies, railroads and works.
1 Hinto. To obtain the contributions of one's income
from every retired person, and person of fortune—male
and female—living upon their means, and from all clergy
men lawyers, dentists, editors, authors and professors : all
other persons engaged iD the learned or other professions.
Much of this work must bs performed by the personal
influence aud efforts of ladies and gentlemen associated,
or to be associated with the Committee in carrying out
this plan.
The Committee feel tho responsibility of the work they
have undertaken, which, to be successful, will require a
very perfect ramification ot their plan, and they therefore
call upon all earnest people, to assemble themselves to
gether in every town, tow nship, and county, and form or
ganizations of ladies and gentlemen to 00-operate with
them in this great work and labor of love. In the manu
facturing counties, the coal and oil regions, and in the
agricultural districts, —especially, let there be organiza
tions in the large towns, so that the young people may
have an opportunity thus to render assistance to their rel
atives and friends fighting the battles of the country in
the armies of the nation.
Ihe work of this Committee may be prosecuted where
no other effort can he made for the Fair, as in the mines
of the coal regions. A day's earnings of the miners, and a
day's product of the mines, can be obtained, where no
| portable article could be procured for transportation.—
indeed there is no part or section of these States where
the day s labor may not be obtained, if organizations can
be formed to reach them.
The Committee cannot close without urging upon all
Proprietors of Establishments, the duty of taking prompt
and energc ic action to secure the benefit of the DAT or
LABOR from all within their control.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more, than
thus to present the subject to thejpeople of the three States
named, In the coming campaigns of our armies, the la
bors of the "Sanitary Commission" will be greatly aug
mented. By the first of June 700,000 men—one of the
largest armies of modern times—will be operating in the
field. So large a force, scattered over regions to which
the men are unacclimated, mast necessarily carry along
with it a large amount of sickness, suffering and death, to
say nothing of the gathered horrors of the battle field.
These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men and
Christians, to relieve. A great and enlightened people,
enjoying the blessings of a government of their making,
CANNOT RES USE assistance to men suffering to maintain its
authority, and we will not believe that the "GREAT
CENTRAL FAIR," drawing its products from the three
States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so af
fluent in all mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth,
shall fall behind any similar effort which has yet been
made for the relief of the Nation's children.
As it is desirable not to multiply circulars; no further
authority than this circular will be necessary for any em
ploying firm or company, or any respectable committee of
ladies and gentlemen, to proceed at once, in the work of
this committee; aud it is hoped that under it, organisa
tions will spring up in all the towns and bury regions of
the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
Subscriptions will be thankfully acknowledged in tke
newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable that
they commence soon, as each fresh acknowledgment will
stimulate efforts in other lucidities.
All subscriptions should be addsessed to JOHN W.
CLAGHORN, Treasurer, office of the "Committee on La

Street, Philadelphia.

HOSTETTER'S
Celebrated
SIOIUH IN.
A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and alternative of
wonderful efficacy in disease of the
STOMACHH LIVER AND BOWELS.
Cum Dytpepsla, Liver complaint, Headache, General de
bilily, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Constipation
Colie, Intermittent Fevers, Cramps and Spasm,, and a |[
Complaints of either Sex, arising from Bodily Weakness
whether inherent in the system or produced by special
causes.
Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and restorative
in its nature enters into the composition of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters This popular preparation contains no
mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element; no
fiery excitant; but it is a combination of the extracts of
ran balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild
est of ail diffusive stimulants
It is well to be forearmed against disease, and so far as
human system can b protected by human means against
maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmosphere, im
pure water and other external causes, Hostetter's Bittera
may be relied on as a safeguard.
In districts Infested with Fever and A que, it has been
found infallible as a preventive and irresistable as a rem
edy, and thousands who resort to it under apprehension
of an attaok, escape tha scourges and thousands who neg
lect to avail themselves of its protective qualities in ad
vance, are cured by a very brief course of this marvelous
medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied
with quinine for months in vain, until fairly saturated
with thnt dangerous alkaloid, and not unfrequently re
stored to health within a few days by the use of Hostet
ter's Bitters.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe
tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works
wonders in cases of Dispepsia and in less confirmed forms
indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aperients,
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the
Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the di.
gestive and secretive organs.
persons of feeble habit, liable to Hereout Attack*, Low
nett of Spirit*, and Fit* of Languor, find prompt and per
manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this
point is most conclusive, and from both sexes.
The agony of Biilious Colic is immediately assuaged by
a single dose of the stimulant, and by occasionally resort
ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented.
As a general Tonic, Hostetter's Bitters produce effects
which must be experienced or witnessed before they can
be fully appreciated In cases of Conttitutional Wenk-
Premature 1 teeny and Debility and Decreplitude
arising from Old Age, it exercises on electric influence.
In the convalescent stages of all diseases it operates as a
invigorant. When the powers of nature are relaxed, it
operates to re-enforce and re-establish them.
Last, but not least, it is Tke Only Safe Stimulant , being
manufactured from sound and innoxious materials, and en
tirely free from the acid elements present more or less in
in all the ordinary tonies and stomaehies of the day.
No family medicine has been so universally, and it may
be truly added, deterredly popular with the intelligent
portion of the community, as Hostetter's Bitters.

epileptic fits, in one of which the patient may expire.—
Who will.say they are not frequently followed by those
direful diseases, insanity and consumption. Many are
aware of the cause of their suffering but none will confess

deaths by Consumption bear ample witness to the truth of
the assertion. The constitution once affocted with organ
