George Alfred Townsend writes to the Cincinnati Gazette, in a letter des criptive of the incidents of a sea voy age, the following item of interesting personal intelligence: But the central figure of the ship is an old man, in whose lost and strug gling intelligence you see reminiscen ces of long command. Ik is Comman der Hartstein, who was an officer of the I nited States navy 33 years When the war began, his instincts, though a South Carolinian, were all for the Government; but his wealthy wile influenced him first to passiveDess, then to rebellion. He gave up his commission, which was his history, and, like a lost energy, wandered to and fro in Charleston, full of premoni tions of the success of the great Gov ernment he had betrayed. When the fire was first opened upon Sumter, he strolled, in the same abstract way, to Fort Moultrie, and looked at the gun ners driving iron into the faithful old castle. There was no enthusiasm in his regard. Next morning, when the flag of Fort Sumter fell, a stroke of paralysis fell upon Commander Hart stein. God spared him the work of a traitor, if not his defection. They car ried his wrecked body to a blockade runner, and he lay stunned and re morseful in Paris for three years, fil led with bitter upbraidings against his counsellors. They fed " him with a spoon, like a baby. He has returned home to find his broad acres laid waste; his wife's homestead is untenable. Lonely and wearily these two, with their daughter, are returning to Eu rope to spend tbe rest of their life in almost indigent exile. Childhood Hays. We should constantly bear in mind that children are very sensitive, and can easily be made happy. Let their days pass pleasantly away. Bright memories of childhood tend to refine us. Kingsley, the author of 'Alton Locke,' &c., says: 4 There is no pleas ure that I have experienced like a child's midsummer holiday. The time, I mean, when two or three of us used to go away up the brook, and take our dinners with us, and come homo at night tired, dirty, happy, scratched beyond recognition, with a great nose gay, three little trout, and one shoe— the other one having been used as a boat, till it had gone down with all hands out of soundings. How poor our Derby days, our Greenwich din ners, our evening parties, where there are plenty of nice girls, are after that! Depend upon it, a man never experi ences such pleaeure or grief after four teen as he does before that time.— Mich. Journal of Education An eastern editor says that a man in New York got himself into trouble by marrying two wives. A western editor replies by assuring bis cotemporary that a good many men had done the same thing by marrying one. A northern editor retorts that quite a number of his acquaintances found trouble enough by barely prom ising to marry, without going any fur ther. A southern editor says that a friend of his was bothered enough when simply found in company with another man's wife. Vol. LV11.N0.19- Burled Alive. A friend, says the Indianapolis Jour nal, gives us the account of a most ter rible case of the burial alive of a hand some young lady, at Jacksonville, Illi nois. Some time last summer a young lady, seventeen years of age, suffering with the tooth ache, went to bed with a small phial of chloroform for the pur pose of quieting her teeth. In the morning she was found to all appear ances dead, which was confirmed by the opinions of several physicians who were called and examined her body.— She was then buried. A few days since her relatives were'about to re move from Jacksonville, having loca ted in another Stato, and had the re mains of the young lady exhumed, for the purpose of taking them to their new home. Curiosity prompted them, to open the coffin, when they wero horror stricken on finding the corpse turned over, both hands full of hair, and her clothing torn to shreds, re vealing the horrible truth that the young lady had been buried alive. The chloroform had placed her in a deep trance, the awakeningfrom which she was in her coffin and grave. The young lady was engaged to be mar ried at the time of her supposed death. A more heart sickening case we never remember to have read or heard. Facts for the Copperheads. James E. English, who was lately elected Governor of Connecticut, was burned in effigy in 1863 by the leading Copperheads of that State, for having first voted lor the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and then for the Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery throughout the Uni ted States. In 1867 they take him up and elect him Governor, and, with their usual effrontery,claim his election as an endorsement of their anti war record. For several years they tried to carry the State with disloyal candi dates but failing each time by a small majority, they concluded to take a Democratic abolitionist , and with him they have succeeded. The election, pecuniarily consider ed, has been an expensive one. The following is given as a reliable estimate of assessments made on the candidates named: James E. English, 840,000 Wm. H. Barnum, 15,000 Julius Hotchkiss, 5,000 .Richard D. Hubbard, 3,000 Candidates on State Ticket, 10,000 Other subscriptions, 25,000 Total, 898,000 A Grog Story. The following is going the rounds of the press. It smells rather fishy: Friday last came near being a good : day for the lovers of grog in Cincinna ti, but a bad day for tetotallers. A whisky distillery"burnt, and the corn juice ran in streams iuto the river, and was carried up to the receiver of the water works, and thence was trans ferred to the reservoir. Thus, the lat ter was filled with grog, and next morning the people had whisky in their water, whisky in their tea, whis ky in their coffee, whisky with which to perform their ablutions, all free of extra charge. Never was there so much grog mixed in one day, and it would have beon a grand time to those who do not believe in surprising their stomach with water unmixed with whisky, but for the fact that the pro portion of water thrown in was above the standard, and the grog was weak. As a consequence, no one was pleased. Those who take whisky objected to the quantity of water thrown in, and those who prefer water, objected to the whis ky part. It was neither one nor the other—something like Kentucky neu trality. A Puzzle in Figures.— We clip the fol lowing for the amusement of our puz zle loving readers : Bid a person think of a number; tell him to double the number, which done, bid him multiply the sum by 5, and tell you the pro duct ; from this you cut off the last fig ure, which will always be a cypher, and the number remaining will bo that first thought of. For example: let the number thought of be 26, Which dou bled makes 52, that multiplied by 5 produces 260 * then it you take away the cipher, which is the Jast figure in the product, there will remain 26 the number first thought of. B®. Mr. Bear was at a public din ner, two gentlemen by the name of Bird being in the company. After the cloth was removed, Mr. Bear, who wai a good singer, was called on to oblige the company with a song. He imnfe diately rose and said: 'Gentlemen your conduct on this occasion is so highly improper, that I cannot helD noticing it.' r 'For why?' said the gentleman.
