Writ, en fur the SFr PIIILADELPIEIA, I?ENN'A, Jau uary :29d, 1567. MY FRIEND SrY :—We, of the :car tificial" family, are several, and each is regarded as a character, uniziue and pe; euliar. We are, to wit, Rev. &lupe T. Moneus, D. D,; Mr. Greene Cabb Idge- bed, F. M. P.; Miss Ann . Teeke May dyu, and your humble servant. Nothing short of an ocular demonstration could ever have convinced me that so few per sons could be brought together with sensibilities and understandings so re markably adverse. We agree upon one point, however, and that is, the unbound ed and incomparable hospitality of our benefactor, Avery Bigge Kaph. When we come to discuss the merits of our hostess, Mrs. Dealanna Kaph, we can constitute no twain. She is a character. or, peradventure, several of them. But just here prudence dictates " halt," and Dealanua would dictate " halter," did I write more concerning her, and she knew it. We likewise agree in our political pro clivities. •\\'e unanimously desire to be known by "ye antient cognomen of dem ocrats;" yes, democrats; and that sub stantive enunciated without any cupreous tintinnabulations, or serpentine insinua. Tre are /oyal—:-loyal - to . the Constitution and the Laws—loyal to the Union—(we always were)—loyal to the great Ameri can .Eagle—loyal to the wbue race—loyal to et muyno clamore contra bellum. Our loyalty is not variegated. We are in formed we sent a messenger—a committee of investigation—. most reliable and in telligent apostle of true patriotitm and balsamic conservatism, into the disttact ed and suffering South, and he writes that " the lawyellowtie uv menney jin tletnen uv the Sow th must be conseeded." I quote verbatim, hence am, not ortho graphically responsible. Thus you see our position is vindicated, our arguments, during the recent campaign, are substan iated, and hen cefortu we asseverate au thoritatively. We no longer commingle with our pre-conceived opinions, the il luminating deductions of deuronstrative radicalism. We adhere to the present admins tration, and have resolved to accompany it through the boisterous • turmoils of political adversity, though we are amply assured that the great Ship of State, by her oscillating eutortilation, will eventu ally find the mxlstrotu ofoblivious nonen tity. Now, sir, you can appreciate our self immolation. There has been a most exerutiating couimction in the mansion, since break fast. Mrs. Dealanna Kaph has been ransacking her husband's escritoire, and she most vauntingly declares that her liege lord has made an " egregious hal lucination." I hear much loud talk,but can distinguish only the most emphatic declarations, viz: " point lace collar," " whole herd of cattle," " jewelry." " money," " jealous," and other not very elegant expressions. There, I hoar the hardware rattling in the kitchen ! Pan demcnium has come, certainly ! Such ebullitions in that quarter of the house demand the instantaneous investigation of any individual who is solicitous of hiss meridian entertainments. So pardon me till then. I have returned.

Those who have read the graceful story of " Picciula " may not know that Saiutine, the author of it, has written other books, which arc full of pleasantry, for he is not often dull. One of these books was written for children especially, and is called La Mere Gigoyne, et ses trois filles, or, " Talks and Stories about Natural History," for Mother Gigogne is, in French fairy tales, the same as Dame Nature with us. In this book, which tells in a familiar way about common things in Nature, plants, Islam-ills, and animals, there are short stories here and there. One of these stories is, " How my Friend Cabassol married to please his Dog." I don't think I believe it; it certainly does nut sound as if it really happened ; but you can see for yourself, for here it is. My friend Cabassol used to say that a family, to be quite complete, should con sist of a father and mother, a soa and daughter, and a dog. There was a time indeed when he never would have said it, but that was when he was a bachelor ; for he was the crustiest, most growling bachelor that I ever knew. He lived by him.elf in the country, where he smoked his pipe and read his books, and took care of his garden, or walked over the fields with his dog. Ye., he had a dog. a perfect one, named Medor, and in those days he thought a perfect family consisted of a man and his dog. Indeed he said once, when I was there too, that Nledor was his best friend; and yet it was I that gave him the dog. Medor had belonged to a widow lady living at St. Germain en Laye, who thought the world of him, but was in constant fear lest he should be shot ; for Mellor was a born hunter, and the forest park at St. Germain was an inviting field for four footed as well as two-footed! hunters. The keepers of the_ Park declared they would shoot Medor if they caught him there again ; so his mistress begged me to save his life by finding.,for him anew Wigs#er' ,x"1 Chou ht ein'are - r,CalWanif and I could not. have found a better was ter. He and Medor became at one . : fast friends, and understood each other per- fectly. They were made for one another, and were always together. If Cabassol went to walk, Medor went with' him. If the master ate dinner, the dog had his at the same time; and it really seemed as if Cabassol were right, and that they made a perfect family. But one day, when Mcdor's nose was in his plate, and be seemed to be think ing of nothing but his dinner, he sudden ly raised his head, and trembling from head to foot, began to howl and whine in the most pitious and unaccountable man ner. - The door-bell rang; Medor sprang. forward, and when Cabassol joined him, he found him rolling in an ecstasy of joy at the feet of a stranger, and leaping up and down as if beside himself. It was, as you have guessed, his old mistress, who had moved from St. Germain to live iil Paris, and had taken this journey for the sake of seeing her old friend Medor. She cried at the welcome her dog had given her. She had come, she said, to ask him back again, for now that she lived in Paris, there was no longer any danger of' his life from the foresters. I Would not Monsieur Cabassol permit her to have Medor again ? She would gladly pay whatever he chose to ask for Medor's board during the three years he had been absent from her, and a round sum besides Cabassol looked at her in a furious manner l Give up his dog ? never ! "1 will not sell my friend at any price," he cried, and gave a rude shrug of his shoulders, which said as plainly as words, "Go about your business, madame." The lady bitterly reproached tun, and grew very angry, not because he had treated her•so rudely, which was reason enough,—she did not-mind that,—but because he was likely to make Medor die of grief, by refusing to give him up to her. See !" she cried, "he has never ceased to regret me. He still loves me, and no one else." These last words enraged Cabassol; they aroused his pride; and, determined to show her that Medor loved him best, he said,— " Com.: ! I have a plan which will soon show you whether Medor loves you more than me. We will go together to yonder hill which lies between my house and Paris. There we will scperate. You shall go down the southern path, and I will take the northern, that comes back to my house. Medor shall belong to whichever one of us be chooses to follow." " Very well," said sbe, " I am agreed ;" for she was coulldeut that the dog would [WHOLE NUMBER 1,950 follow her. Medor did not quite under. stand the agreement, but he saw that the two people whom he loved best had shaken hands and stopped quarreling, and were now talking politely together. He was full of delight, gamboling about them, and petted by both. Cabassol, though a crusty bachelor, as I said, was, after all, a pleasant companion when be choose; and now, feeling 301110 pity for the lady, who must be disappointed, he I began to talk and to make himself quits agreeable, for she was his and Medoefit" guest, after all; and the widow-lady,' sorry for the loss which she was to cause anl feeling happy at recovering Medor, was in high spirits, and made herself quite entertaining. When the time came for her, to go, the three walked slowly together to the top of the hill,—the two I mean,—for Medor was frisking about them in great glee. At the top they separated, and Cabassul went at Once down the northern slope, while the lady went down the southern, and Me•lor bounded after her. But in a moment he perceived that his master was not with them; he ran back to him ; then he saw his mistress was not following : hut_was keeping on in her path ; he ran back to her; then to Ca bassol, who was still keeping on in h'.s . path ; then to his r istress; then,—and so up and down, backward and forward, the road becoming longer and steeper each time. lie could not make up his mind which to leave; he could nut under stand it at alt; he went first to one, then to the other,. ten times, and then ten times more. while they, without turning about or saying a word, kept straight on in their separate paths. At last, poor Medor, out of breath, the sweat pouring from him, his tongue hanging out of his mouth, fell down completely exhausted,. ou the very top of the hill where they had separated ; and there, turuine . his head first to the right and then to the left, he tried to follow, with his ,eyes at le-I.t • the two.beint , ve earb>RCechom* I had given°liulf his I>cart.' ~ >;.- • Cahassol, meanwhile, saw h)w the poor dog fared, fur each time he return ed to him he was panting harder. He was seized with pity for him ; he resolv ed to give back Medor to the lady, else he saw that Medor would surely die. He turned up the hill and came to the top. At the same moment the lady came up the hill from the other side; she, t00,..0ut of pity for Medor, had resolved to sacri fice her OIV 11 feelings and suffer Cabassol to keep the beloved dog. They mot at the top over the poor fellow, who was wagging his tail in a feeble manner, to express his delight. But how could they make the poor animal submit to a new separation ? if ha were to go with either alone, it would break his heart. Cubassol reflected. He saw only one way of getting out of' the difficulty, and that was to marry the lady. Would she have him ? Yes, fur Medor's sake. And so they married to please the .dog; and Cabassul came to say, as I told you at firsi, that a perfect family consists of a father and mother, son and daughter, and a dog, —Riverside Mug= Insects aS Food. In Africa they eat ants, stewed in but ter. In Sweden they distil them with rye to give a peculiar flavor to brandy. Pressed ant eggs yield a mixture resem bling chocolate with milk, of which the chemical composition really resembles that of ordinary milk. The large ter mites, or white ants, which are so destruct tive to houses and furniture, arc roasted by the Africans in iron pots, and eaten by handfulls, as sugar plums. They are said to be very nourishing, and to taste) like sugared ereanr or sweat almond paste. As for locusts, "the Africans,'.' says Dr. Phipson, "fur from dreading their invasions, look upon a dense cloud cif locusts as we should upon so much bread and butter in the air. They smoke them, or salt them, or boil them, or stew them, or grind thew down as corn, and get fat upon them." It has been asserted that a very large majority of the citizens of Washington City are more intensely traitorous at heart than those of any Southern city, not excepting Richmond or Charleston. As one proof of this out of a great many that might be adduced, we may state that, at the Masonic Fair, which opened, in Washington, on Monday, the 17th ult., pie tures or President Lincoln, Gen. Grant, and the traitor chieftain, Robert E. Lee, were put up and voted for at a dollar a ticket. The first night the votes for Lt. were nine times as many as for the others. On Tuesday night the discussion over Len's superiority was so great that it almost amounted to a riot. E; 119
