"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!"
And whether near your mountain home
Your serried ranks shall tread,
Or by the wild Potomac roam, •
Near Vernon's mighty dead;
Or where the sultry Southern sand
The sweet Santee shall lave;
At home, abroad, on sea, or land,
Press 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.

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

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.

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,
