"BE BR4vrt.os. Dr B. L. ron2uoN. [Mrs. G., whose sons; four in nnmber,left their , homes with the Johnstown (Penna.) Volunteers in 1864 to defend their country, in parting with them, only uttered the words, !Be Braver] "Be Brave!" the patriot mother wild, When direful war's alarms Across Columbia's valleys spread, And called her sons to arms. , "Be Braver No more heroic word The Spartan mother gave; • • When at Thermopylre was heard The din of war—"Be Braver G6 - forth, ye gallant Volunteers, -Though dangers may be rife, To fight for all that man reveres, ' For 'tie your country's strife, - And Heaven propitious smiles on all That die their land to saye; A nation mourns you if you fall— Then forward, and—"Be Brave!"

When mothers thus their jewels give Upon 'their ccraxitays shrine, That country cannot cease to live-- Her mission is divine. And Calbriat such thy matrons are! And where the coward slave Would falter when her virtuous fair Bids all her sons "Be Brave!"? A Scene:at the_opera veniee. VitivicE, Nov. l.—Lgst night the Fenlce opened its doors to the Venetian public for the first time since political disturbances led to its being closed. The opera was Verdi's, Un Ballo in Maschera, and the ballet, after the second act, was Un Aventura di earns vale a Parigi. There had been great expec tations raised, and the audience went pre pared for first-rate music and dancing, but before long it became apparent that the singers were both indifferent and nervous, the orchestra loud and harsh. In England there would have bean sounds of disappro bation, and real lovers of music would not have sat out the opera, but an Italian au dience is not only critical bat cruel, and last night, by a quarter past 9, the bulk of the people in the stalls had made up their minds to hear no more. Hisses grew louder and more general, and finally, untouched by the visible trembling of a pale girl in a page's dress, they heard only the distinct flatness of a high note, rose from their seats, and turned their backs to the stage with a perfect shriek of "Basta! Basta!" There is a strange mixture of gentleness and cruelty, susceptibility to sentiment and powerless to help giving pain, in the character of these people. They are intelligent enough to ap predate the failure, but not the difficulties; sufficiently sensitive to detect the slightest unevenness in a note, but not the quivering of the nerves that caused it; the drooping-of the voice but not the sinking of the *man heart within Sc?, last night, they con demned the singers utterly and fi nally, refusing over and over again to hear more. Again and again the tenor ad vanced with beseeching gestures, and strove to fulfil his duty; they would have none of him, and the curtain fell amid a howling storm. Presently the Impresario appeared, and with the mockery of a smile, demanded whether his patrons wished the opera to go on. For a response.he had shrieks of "-Nor Would they be pleased to see the ballet? Doubtful at first, their final answer was "Yes." Alter a considerable interval—for the danseuses were not prepared to be called on so early—the curtain rose, and' a band on the stage, dressed' in Venetian colors, gave the "Marcia Reale," but even that had lost' its usual charm and fell - fiat. Then the corps de ballet trooped in, but did not satisfy. the gazers ex cept when the queen of them all executed a series of graceful bounds, and less graceful, but more wonderful contortions; and again when a-crowd of damsels, dressed to out ward appearance in ordinary modern cos tume, danced before them and pleased them with gestures that would have caused indig nation in an English theatre, and which , forced some of the Venetian ladies to turn away their faces. Alter the ballet the Fen ice was half-emptied, and the remainder of the opera was given to a gradually but rapidly diminishing audience, the curtain fAlling before a practically empty house. Short Dresses and Bloomers. Dr. Dio Lewis, says of the dress intro duced in his school: The short skirts, although in importance to health the least vital of these three changes, is nevertheless very important. The skirt should fall a little below the knee. The pants should be the large Turkish pants, which, made long enough to fall to the ankle, and fastened at the bottom by being drawn close about the ankle with a slight elastic cord, should then be drawn up to the place usually occupied by the garter, and pulled down to the mid dle or a little below the middle of the calf of t he! leg. When going out into the cold - air, the exposed part of the leg should be covered with a patent leather anklet, and during the cold season of the year that part of the leg should be covered with two thicknesses of woolen. While all this peculiar arrangement is, irk, point of - convenience and protection, less satisfactory than the straight pants, such as gentlemen wear, I nevertheless advise it, be .cause it is very easy to introduce the short dress with these pints, and very difficult to introduce what is known as the Bloomer -costume. For example: In my school at Lexington, Mass., I had more than a him"- -dred fashionable young ladies last winter, all of whom wore constantly during she -school year the short dress, the gymnastic costume, while all the fashionable ladies of the village butaide of the institution adopted the same dress. Indeed, it is almost rare to see in Lexington a lady with a long dress. An attempt to introduce the Bloomer cos- ; lume, I am sure, would have proved a fail tire, not in our own house, perhaps, but in tits Influence outside. All through our part of the country, when we go out to ride, we see ladies in the short dress. Indeed,some of the clergymen who observed Omit our young ladies changed' for the long dress on going to church, came to me to say that they hoped I would allow them to come in their short dresses, for they liked very much to see them. A single lady appearing in the streets of Boston in the - regular Bloomer costume attracts a crowd of boys, while twenty of our young ladies can go into Bos ton without remark or notice. The fact is, we men and boys are very jealous of our breeches, but the gymnast costume does not involve that garment, and so we lords of the creation give our consent hilts adoption by our sisters. A NEW POWDEB:—A new explosive mix ture called "Poudre Fontaine, used in the torpedoes which were tried against the hull of the Vauban, has been employed in blow ing up the old quays of one or the basins at Toulon;'now, in process of extension. =A mine, charged with five kilogrammes of the , powder, exploded with such effect that a' charge of one hundred kilogrammes of the ordinary: gunpo*der would have caused less destruction. The charge was purposely a small one, and the engineers congratulated themselves on having Catemenced, so cau tiously. A singular result, of the explosion was the killing of a quantity of fish. The workmen' picked up 'seventy eighty pounds weight, which floated on the surface of the Water." The same, phenomenon had been remarked fiom the action of the tor yedoes. THE DAILY-EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA.,FATURDAY. NOVEMBER 24 1866.--TRIPLE SHEET. Something ahOut Dog% -BY GRLS. •• - - The different expressions to be found among dogs is something,of a study. The countenance of men are not more various. There is the jolly dog whose race beams with constant- good nature; ,hei dog with the mild, benevolent face; the laughing deg, who, is 'always on the broad grin; the dog of the sedate, and meditative way,, who ponders long by the fire over ,some diffictilt problem ; of. life, 'shaking has head with a slow movement at intervals, as though it was too much for 'him: Sometimes he declines into the melancholy dog, op preissed with a growing 'sadness'whicla no effort canshake off, and at length he comes to consider himself the most mi serabledog in existence, and dies very, very wretchedly indeed. -The surly dog is met with'more often than any other kind, just as it is with_inen.- If discom moded in the least he will growl, and show his teeth, if he darea,and he never expresses 'any gratitude for favors. you found him hanging and cat him down, ten chanCes to one, he would fly at your throat if he had the strength to dolt Thikehuntry dog and the' city bred dog exhibit Marked - dissimilarity. The lat ter can detect the former at• a glance, greatly to the annoyance t.f the - canine, amp the rural districtigrequently. They jeer at him as he passestin the streeti as though he didn't wear as. atod clothing as they did, and sometimes he has to de 7 fend himself from their Attacks, which seem to be Made outfit pure wantonness. Country dogs have been - known to make it up sometimes when they have caught some 'helpless city` cur away from city confines. - Bad races they have given him across fieldsto which his.tender feet are all unused; over fences and across' ditcheis i putting hini in such a plight that his most intimate, friend's, don't re cognize him on his return to the city. There is one thing that- 'mats all ilogs on a level—makes _them. behave about aiike. That is, a tin kettle tied to the tail. They all seem to realize the absurd figure they are, cutting; and take in the full ridiCulousness of the situation at once, and there is but one sentiment, that of rapid flight. The jolliest dog can't see any fun in it, and the most dignified dog looses all semblance of dignity at once, and lapses into the most abjectpup on earth. Other dogs avoid them or snap at them as they pass, and in fact we:doubt-about one who has been put to the indignity =fled. ever being able to regain his former position in society, We never knew but one utterly mean-spirited and thoroughly con temptible dog. "ornery" that was so 'ornery" that after ha,ving lost off a tin kettle with which some boys had adorned his narrative, was afterward caught in the act of trying to fasten it on again. He seemed to like it, and was the only dog we ever knew that did. Dogs get frightened, like - children, at what they don't understand. An old house dog belonging a couple of miles out of the city used to lie all the day long outside the gate, with his nose pointed toward the city. One day a menagerie was making its entrance into the city, atteiftled by a monstrous elephant. The dog didn't observe the beast until it was byits side, and then with a howl of ter ror he "streaked it" across the lots and wasn't seen again for several days. When he did return,he reconnoitred the 'road very carefully and then laid down with his face toward the direction from which his elephantship came, resolved apparently not to be taken by surprise again. As it happened, the menagerie with the elephant was coming away from the city on that day, and again the mighty beast• came upon the dog from the rear.' Such a howl as that dog sent up when he saw the elephant by his side again, and such speed as he made for the woods was rarely made by dog before. He never returned again.—Cincinnati Times. Meagher as a Duelist. VIRGINIA C/TY, M. T. October 19. To Captain Henry A. Blake. SIR: As I am given to undersiand, within the last half hour, there have been some fal sifications circulated in regard to the in terview which my friend, -Dr. Deems had with you the other day relative to the scandalous article you wrote and published against me pefsonally, in the Montana Post, of the sixth of this Month, and in order that such falsifica tions may be at once and completely re - futed, my friend, Mr. James K. Duke, in the temporary absence of Dr. Daeins, now calls upon you to publish, in the next number of that paper, an ample apology, such as he will approve of; or; declining to do that, to make immediate arrangements with - him for afterding me that satisfaction which,from your recent association with gentlemen in military life, it is, I presume,entirely unneces sary for me to particularize. I have the honor td be, sir, , Your most obedient servant, THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER. VIRGINIA CITY, M. T. October 19. To General Thomas Francis Meagher: DEAR SIR: Your strange letter of the same date herewith has been duly re: ceived. You assume that I "wrote and pdblished" the article to which you refer. I infer from your language that you consider that I have been guilty of circulating the alleged falsifications, in regard to my interview with Dr. Daemz. I desire to inform , you that I cannot comply with any of the requests or de mands which you have made. As the editor of the Montana Poit, it is my right and duty to criticise the official conduct of public men. I always act in pursu ance of 'the most upright motives, and, if you are negligent in the performance of you tasks as the Secretary -of the Territory, you cannot escape censure. I may be misinformed by the citizens con cerning, yourself,' but- I ram not only ready; but anxious to rectify any mis take that is ptiblished in the columns which I supervise., -If you will write 'any communication in which myerrors ..are pointed out it will be published with pleasure. yon decline to adopt this :method, the law and courts will afford you complete redress. I understand without any explana tionsyour designs. I notify you for wally, as I did to Dr. Deems privately, thatl' regard a, duelist as a inurderer;thar the. niiscalled'code of honor is a 'relic ,of, barbarism and ignorance; that it is con trary to - the spirit of our republican in stitutions, and that I-could not stultify myself by attempting to ;take the life of a man against whom Ihave no personal 'enmity. You have seen fit •to send me a challenge, althozgh you 'knew that I could pot and would-not accept it. I am astonished that one who fills a post of national importance, - and 'whose chief task is the execution of the etatatee, should try to incite me to ComMit the capital offence of murder. I shrink with awe at the dreadful 'possibility that I should ever, be compelled to.'shed the blood of any individual. You, allude to my "military life," During my term of service in the llth Regiment Massachusetts volunteers, I never witnessed or heard of any duel in our glorious army.: _~ ; I will not disgrace my record. - You may publish me as a coward, but my scars, of which this in clement storm reminds me, will pro claim that the charghis false. Two war rants and threecominisSions, which were received by me during the rebel lion, for my services in twenty-one bat _tles and skirmishes, will completely re fute the statement In conclusion, I will assert . that your letter and conduct do not intimidate me in any degree. Whi'e I occupy my post as editor, your offiCial acts will be ex amined, and I shall have no hesitation in expressing my views regarding them. - I am, very respectfully, HEYEY N. BLAKE. Japanese Husbandry. The Japanese Empire stretches from the 30th to the 45th degree of north lati tude. The average temperature and distribution of heat - constitute a climate embracing all the gradations between those of Upper Italy and Central Ger many. A solitary tropical palm, not fully developed, grows by the aide of the Northern pine; rice and cotton, along. With buckwheat and barley. Every where on the chains of hills which cover the'whole countly,like an irregu lar fine network, the pine , predominates. In the valleys the burning South holds sway, covering the ground with a rich vegetation of rice, cotton, yams and sweet potatoes. The land is of volcanic origin, and the entire surface belongs to the tufa and the diluvian formation. Phe soil on the hills isan extremely fine, yet not over fat, brown clay; in the val leys it generally consists of a black, loose, deep garden mold. An imper meable stratum of clay probably under lies this surface crust. A multitude of springs are everywhere at hand, which are used for irrigating the fields. The sole object of the Japanese farmeris the production of vegetable food and vegetahle fibre for clothing. The reli gious beliefof the two great sects of the Empire forbids the eating of fiesh, and of everything which is derived from ani mals. The dense population and limited area'of homesteads makes the maintain isg of cattle superfluous. Complicated machinery is also unnecessary, only the simple implements of hand labor being required. The size of the farms varies from two to five acres, and the sub-di vision of these by ditches and drains renders the use of any beasts of burden impracticable. The only manure pro ducer, therefore, is man, and the most perfect and extensive arrangements ex ist for saving not only what is made on the farm, but also collecting that of all the citie4 and towns.' Not a particle is lost; even the travelers along the public highways contribute to enriching the fields. In respect t*aving all the fertilizing materials which the consumption of all the produee of the land creates, the Ja panese are far ahead of Europeans. And the wonderful fertility of their soil, and the dense population which it supports without any aid from foreign countries, are the proofs of the perfectness of their system. Their soil bas been cultivated for thousands of years, and it appears to be as little exhausted as the virgin fields of our own prairies. And the system which produces these results is simply the returning of all the manure result ing from the consumption of the produce of the soil to the soil again. This is a result which Europe with her boasted science has not yet been able to attain; her cities and towns are draining the life-blood of the land. The Japanese farmer endeavors to turn his manure to account as quickly as pos sible. He prepares composts, but sim ply concentrates materials without the aid of animals. Chaff, chopped straw, excrement gathered in the highways, leares of turnips, vines and peelings of potatoes; in short, all the offal of the farm is mixed with a little mold, shovel ed into a pyramidal heap, moistened and covered with straw thatch. Occa sionally theseare turned with the shovel; sometimes where straw is plenty it is burnt in order to reduce it quickly, The Japanese does not care for azotised mat ter, but strives to destroy all organic substances in his manure before using it. He also manures in no ether way than by top-dressing, and as much as possible applies it in the liqquid form. A crop is never cultivated without manuring, but-no more is applied than is requisite to the full • development of that crop; there is no anxiety to enrich the soil for the future. A full return, simply is demanded for ,each sowing. There are seldom any extravagant yields obtained, but what eminently distin guishes their agriculture is the certainty and uniformity of their crop's for an al most incalculable period. Rotation of crops, deep and thorough tillage, and cultivating in drills, arc cardinal principles with the Japanese husbandman. He never thinks the soil needs rest, if only, the proper supply of manure is at hand. - All crops are grown in drills; and as an illustration of the culture the following description of a field may be taken. It is the middle of October and the field has nothing but buckwheat on it; this is planted in rows two feet apart. In the spring the inter vening spaces had been sown with _Aar nip radishes which have been gathered. These vacant spaces are now tilled with the hoe to the greatest depth attainable with that implement. Fresh earth is drawn up from the middle towards the grain. In the furrow thus formed 'rape •is sown and manured. By the time the rape is one or two inches high the buck wheat is out. The rows where it stood are then dug up, manured i and sown with Winter wheat' or turnips. Thus crop follows 'crop all theyear round. But if there is a 'deficiency of manure the intervening rows are allowed to lie idle until a quantity has been collected for them. -In -short, the Japanese farmer has established a proper balance between the crop and manure, expenditure and income, and thus, with. the aid of thorough tillage, maintains intact the productive power of the soil, which is "all that can be' reasonably attempted by any rational husbandman.

CASTOR WHEELS. DOE HELLTH AND STRENGTH USE CAPE WELL & CO.'S PATENT GLASS CASTOP. WHEELS. These wheels are designed for Pianos, Bedsteads, &c. We claim that they give to Pianos a greatly increased force ofsonnd, without detracting from the harmony and melody of the Instrument, rendering every nob more distinct to the ear. This is so apparent that they are now being applied by many to these valuable mu. 31 cal instruments. Dr. Valentine IstottAsrevions to hit death, pronounced the Glass Castor Wheels an in valuable invention for bedfast invalids, • who art marded against the damp floors after undergoing the proem of cleaning, or where dampness is produced !rcm any other cause. Aside from this, Eldlasekeepers are relieved from the dread of having their carpets cm or torn, sa frequently happens :torn those now In use often caused by a rust, which adheres With glue-Like tenacity. No such annoyance can possibly proceed from the Glass Castor Wheels, as we all know' hat 51ass is non-corrosive. There are no rough oftenantin abed edges to the Glass Wheels, such aa we flue in those of iron, and the latter, though smoothly fin tithed, will soon rust, from the dampness of the acme's obere, if nothing else, producing roughness on the Stir' ;ace, or edge, while the former will always maintah the smoothness of glass;jnat as they are finished , By sleeping upon glass wheels you retain all the eleo rricity yen bad in your body on retiring, and yon get up in the morning feeling as fresh and active as a young man. Glass being a non-conductor, the eleo trinity gained while in bed cannot • pass off. Ask you, doctor ;what he thinks of the Glass Caster Wheels.
