Wisrelinuerato A lisl3c of the Confederacy—A 30.000 Dollar Joke. Several months after the close of tho war a tin box was given to Gen. Spinner, Treas urer pf the United, States, by Mr. Stanton, then Secretary of War,• for safe keeping. The_ lox was said to contain about $30,000 in tiof•i. Nail Mr. Spinner carefully locked _it-: tFt Tioasury. About a year ago a - certain national bank suspended, with a heavy indebtedness to the Government. A United States Quar termaster who had got into trouble in his official capacity was indebted to this bank in the sum of $30,000, and the box deposited with Spinner was said to contain that amount of money belonging to said Quar termaster. The bank engaged the services of an eminent lawyer of New York city as its attorney, and 'he immediately began proceedings to have the box opened and the money taken out aa.d paid over to the Gov ernment to liquidate a part of the bank's indebtedness. The attorney has been striv ing for more than n year to accomplish his object, but it was not until the 11th instant that success attended his efforts. He had been to Secretary McCulloch, who referred him to Gee. Grant. Gen. Grant hadn't the authority, but thought Stanton was the person. Mr. Stanton referred him back to Mr. McCulloch, who asked time to consider. Sevend months thus passed, and Mr. Mc- Culloch laid the case before the President, and he thought it a fit subject for a Cabinet consultation. It was accordingly discussed in Cabinet meeting, but before a conclusion could be reached the impeachment com plication occurred, and changes were made in the Cabinet. Tt was then found neces sary to bring the subject before the Cabinet again with its new members. This was done, and it was decided that the power to open the box lay with the Secretary of War. To-day the Secretary of War detailed Gen. Hardee of his staff to accompany the bunk attorney and have the contents of the box examined. Thov found that the rules of the Treasury Department required a law officer of the United States to be a witness, and Assistant District-Attorney Wilson was sent for. Gon. Spinner then summon ed several of his confidential clerks as ad ditional witnesses, and the whole party, headed by the hopeful and triumphant attorney, went to the vaults. The box was brought out from a dusty corner, for in spection. It was locked and sealed, but there was no key. After some delay a lock smith was secured and the box was opened, and found to contain an old calico dress, and a woman'sshuwl and waterproof cloak, labelled as follows " Taken from the person of Jefferson Davis at the time of his capture by Col. Pritchard of the U. S. A." Gen. Hardee at once departed for the War Department. The attorney has gone to New York, art! Gen. Spinner is still laugh ing at the greatest joke of the season. Young Men. It sho old be tho aim of young men to move in good society—we mean not tho rich, nor the proud, nor the fashionable, but the society of the wise, the intelligent, and the good. Where you find mon who know more than you do, and from whose conversation you can gather information It is always safe to be found. It has broken down many a man, by as sociating with the low and vulgar, where ribald songs were inculcated and the in decent story told to excite laughter, or in fluence the bad passions. ' Lord Clarendon attributed success and happiness in life to associating with persons more learned and virtuous than ourselves. If you wish to be we wise and respected and desire happiness advise you to associate with the intelligent and good. Strive for excellence and strict integrity, and you will never be found in the sinks of pollution, or on the benches of revilers and gamblers. Once habituate yourself to a virtious course, or once secure a love for good• society, and no punishment would be greater than to be obliged by ac- . cident to associate for half a day with the low and vulgar. —Brick Pomeroy has gone West. —General McClellan has been chosen President of the University of California. —Mr. James Smith, of Buffalo, brings discredit on the family by stealing over coats. A Living Headless Child. The Deposit, New York, Courier• is re sponsible for the following marvelous story : In the vicinity of Spoon river, in Illinois, is a child that was born owl has lived five years without n head. Mrs. —, the mother, is the widow of a soldier, for merly living in Marshall county, who en listed in the 11th or Scotch regiment, mid was killed at the battle of Devingtnn, Mo. She was standing beside her dusband dur ing the engagement, when a cannon ball carried his head completely away, his body falling into her arms, and covering her with blood. The shock affected her greatly. When her child was born there was not the semblance of a head about it. The limbs are perfectly developed, the arms long, and the shoulders, where the head and neck should be, smoothly rounded off. But the most surprising thing of all is that the face is situated in the breast. Of course, there being no neck, the power of turning its head is wanting, except as the whole body is moved, but this difficulty is over come by the singular faculty it possesses of turning its eyes in their sec::els, enabling it to see quite as well on either side as those more perfectly formed. The upper portion of its body is as white as the purest Cauca sian ; from the waist downward is blood red. This strange creature, now an active boy live years old, as if to compensate for his deformity, possesses the most clear and bird-like tones ever listened to, sing - ing, with singular correctness everything it ntay hear, and its voice, at this early ago, ac complishes two octaves easily. Beauty. What a wonderful thing is beauty. No thing strikes the soul so deeply or so ell ,gages all its faculties. It may be but the glance of a moment, but it leaves its im pression forever. How many a scene haunts tis forever though we saw it but a moment. How many a sweet face that we but glance at in the world's crowd, in pass ing along the street, hangs above the soul in untading, never-receding lineament, til ling it with the divinest emotions and call ing up the noblest instincts of life. It may have been but the nice of a child, but it throws a glory and a grandeur upon na ture, pleads with a voice of salvation in the hours of temptation. and makes itself Our own and the world's redeemer through all our mortal life. A child upon our hearth stone, a tone of some rich, melodious voice, a smile on a face where God's hand bath painted a beautiful tin , l loving soul, a sin gle flower in the desert or by the way side, a single star breaking through the dark ness of a midnight sky or gleaming over the tall, ,lurk mountain or the far-reaehing, deep-toned sea, what memories do they often leave behind, and till the soul with holiest desires and aspirations, and color and stir it with the devoutest sanctities, bearing us over the troubled waves of life till we seem in faith and trust to sit down at the gates of life and behold the far-reach lags of immortality. In short, beauty was given by God as one of the grainiest and most sustaining elements of the soul, awaking its loftiest aspirations, and pro foundest devotions. Fate of the Apostles.

Many a youth has been lost in :,ociety by allowing it to tarnish his character, and tboli,hly throwing it away. 'flails gem still shines in your bosom, suffer nothing to displace or diminish its luster. Profanity is a mark of low breeding. Show us the man that commands the best respect ; an oath never trembles ott his tongue. Read the catalogue of crime. In quire the character or those who deport front virtue. Without a single exception, you will find them lobe profane. Think of this, and don't let a vile word disgrace von. Honesty, frankness, generosity, virtue— blessed traits! Be these yours, my boys, and we shall not rear. You will claim the respect and love of all. You are watched by your elders. Men who are looking for clerks and apprentices have their eyes on you. If you are profane, vulgar, theatre going, they will not choose you. If you are upright, steady and industrious, before long you will find good places, kind mas ters and the prospect of useful life before you.

Speech Malting. We have arrived at such a high pressure state in these days that many people think a man is nobody, and possessed of only a moderate quantity of brains, unless he can get up at a moment's notice and delight a crowd of people with an off-hand speech. It is time that we, as a people, correct the mistake. We seem to forget, among many other notable instances to the contrary, that George Washington never made a speech. In the zenith of his fame he once attempted it, failed, gave it up, confused and abashed. In framing the Constitution of the United States the labor was almost wholly performed in committees of the whole, of . which George Washington was day after day the chairman, but he made but two speeches during the convention of a very few words each. The convention, however, acknowledged the master• spirit; and historians affirm that had it not been for his personal popularity and the thirty words of his first speech, pronouncing it the best that could be united upon, the Consti tution would have been rejected by the people. Thomas Jefferson never made a speech. lie couldn't. Napoleon, whose executive ability is almost without, a paral lel, said that his greatest difficulity waa finding, men of deeds rather than words. When asked how he maintained his influ ence over his superiors in age and expe rience, when commander in-chief of the army in Italy, he said, "By reserve." The greatness and goodness of a num are not measured by the length of his speeches, or their number. Bec..use a person talks in cessantly it by no means follows that he says much. IVords are not ideas; they often, to the one who looks beneath the sur face, b..•tray a lamentable lack of anything in the shape of thought.

A. criminal condemned to exile is sent away with very little ceremony ; and the same is the case in a great majorty of poli lilttcs. When an ()nicer of the army, or any other perstin of note, has been sentenced to banishment for ]ifc, he is dressed in a 11tH unifix•nt and led to a scaffold in some public place. In the presence of the multitude, and of certain otlicials appointed to execute the sen tence, he is made to kneel.

On a certain day it great muster was to come off at. some tavern in the eoutity of l len rico, and of course a cock-fight or two. At the appointed time a great many persons wore present, and among theta Mr. M., a gentleman of the real old stripe, who had made a few ten-dollar bets on the cock lights, and los.t every one. Ile was com menting on his bad luck, when Old Ned was seen approaching with a largo bag thrown over his shoulder. "Hallo, Nod, what have you gut there?" "Fust-rate cock, Ma..sa M." "Gmne, Ned ?" "Oh, yes, game as a panther, Massa M." "Out with him, Ned, out with him." And Ned drew forth a largo spec:hied cock, which, to judge by his size was a per fect bruiser. "What's the price, Nod?" "Five dollars, Massa, an' cheap at dat ; an' if any cock on dis ground kill dis cock I gim you back de money." The bargain was accordingly struck, and the match right away. M. bet about the amount he had already lost, and the cocks were put in the ring. At the first touch of the steel Old Ned's cock gave a most awful squall and took a strong wing for the woods. M. was furious, while the crowd laughed—fairly screamed —with the enjoyment of the fun. Old Ned was accordingly hauled up, with the appli cation of sense pretty hard epithets. "Didn't I tell you, Massa M e " says Ned, "if any cock hero kill dat cock I give you back do five dollars? But they get to cotch him fuss ; an' I nelicr se any cock outrun old Skewhall in my life. Yu! ya 1" M. wanted to be very angry, but it was no go; his anger was choked down by the uproarious laughter of the crowd that met him on every bide, and he was forced to en joy etas a capital joke. Old Ned continued to frequent the race-courses till the day of his death. [WHOLE NUMBER, 2,043. tam anti •gottocholti Tatum.

There lives a man in Dodge county, Wis consin, who provided for himself and family, five persons in all, from tho pro ceeds of three acres ofland—himself a crip ple, and the oldest child a girl of not yet eleven ; and this is how he did it: Ten, or a dozen hives of bees gave a sup ply of honey for family use, with a surplus of over one hundred dollars in honey and bees. Two cows were kept, principally, in the summer, from the waste of garden and yard, with some sowed green corn, 'for soil ing and by tethering out by the roadside; in winter, upon corn stalks, pumpkins, roots with a little straw and bran—pur chased front the sale of winter squashes, furnishing an abundance of milk and but ler for home consumption, with nearly enough surplus to pay the grocery bill. Two pigs were fatted upon the milk and waste front the house and garden and brought twenty dollars. A dozen hens furnished a surplus of eggs, sold or ex elianged at the store. The team work on the land was mostly paid for by exchange labor. More or less of beets, carrots, cab bages, turnips, and melons are sold. Near ly everything used in the family, except flour, groceries and clothing, was raised upon the land. The wood was bought in the winter by malting ax-helves, and other mechanical labor for neighbors. A few dollars' worth of onion, cabbage, turnip and other seeds were raised and sold. Al together the aggregate sales were nearly live hundred dollars per year; while the faintly expense account—not counting what was raised for home consumption—was idiom four hundred dollars, showing a balanee on the right side of the ledger. Winter Protection for Plants. The Gardcners* Monthly says that earth drawn over plants b; an excellent protec tion in winter. Every elle knows how much better cuttings root when taken on In the till, than when it is deferred till spring—but the fear of having them drawn out by the frost a greater evil. If the cutti 714'S are put in in the fall, and covered with a few inches of earth, in spring they will be through to the surface; or, if not, seine of the earth can be taken oft It used to be the fashion with nursery men to,set Only young seedling stock in the fall, burying it completely in a heap until spring, covering top and all. Under the new system or earth protection, the young stock is now set out where it is to remain, covering it entirely with earth and un covering it early hi spring. By this means an immense amount, of work may be done in the fall in time otherwise unemployed. To keep the Feet Dry. We notice in our exchanges numerous recipes for making shoo-leather water proof, most of them compounds, involving considerable trouble in preparation and more or less expense, and none of them half so good as' the simple article, castor -oil. h'eh be_bouglit at the drug stores :Fyrsmeia've-to-niry:senrs - ni; log to your locality. Apply it to the boot when dry, and soak it by the tire until the leather is saturated. Treat the soles in the same way, being careful to dry it «•ell, so they will not grease the carpets. We once treated a pair of calf boots iu this way, and a few days after we walked five miles in saturated snow and water from six to ten inches deep at every stop, and came out with feet perfectly dry. Castor oil Will keep the leather soft pliable and black, though not glossy, and quite impervious to water. The Sex. of Eggs. When, on examining an egg, by holding it between the eye and the light of the sun, or of a candle, the vivifying speck• is seen exactly on the top, such an egg, it is bald, will produce a male bird ; but if on the con trary, the speck lie on one side, it will pro duce a hen. It is said also, that the sex of the embroyo bird may be distinguished by the , hope of the egg ; if the egg is elon gated in shape it will contain a male, but if more globular it will contain a female. Se that, if these indications be true, either sex niay be propagated at pleasure, which is nut yet known to be case in any other chase of the animal creation.
