Mexican Volunteers,

writer in Canadian paper, described tho
peculiarities of the Illinois corps Of volunteers
known as the Young Suckers, says:
The way that the young Sucker volunteer
fought in Mexico, may give you some idea Of
rs characteristics. BE was there perfectly des-
perate in fight. One of the officers related to
me little scene which occurred at Buenn Vista,
when the whole brunt of the Mexican advance
was borne by the Illinois Regiment. 1t seemed
as though they would be annihilated by supe-
riority Of numbers, when q young Sucker drew
his rife deliberately, and dropped a Mexican.
Set up the pins /" and the whole regiment took
up the word, and at every fire would shout Set
up the pias.' The officer said they fought like
demons, and with as much drollery and fun as
if on spree. At another time, when the charge
was ordered, one of the officers could not think
of the word, and he shouted Let her RIP when
the whole line burst cut with yea, Let her
rip and dashed IN among the Mexicans, laugh
ing and shouting the new battle-ery."

Opening a Mound.

The workmen on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road opened an Indian mound on Saturday. the
18th ult., on the farm of B. McMachen, Esq
The mound was about seventy feet in diameter
and eleven feet high. Nearly on a level with
the surrounding earth were found an altar Of
stone, evincing the action of the FIRE; west Of
north of the altar the head and body of an In
dian, extending west of north, ut a slight de-
clnation from the head to the feet This body
was covered TO the depth ef foot or more with
ashes, in which the salt still manifest to the
taste, as we are told. The body was remarka-
bly, perfect and was mostly preserved Around
this bedy was twelve others, with their heads
centering toward it, and feet projecting. No ar
ticle of art was found except polished stone
tube, about IL inches in length.

FETCHING WATER FROM THE WELL,

Rarly on sunny morning, while the lark was
singing sweet
Came, beyond the ancient farmhouse, sounds
Of lightly tripping feet.
Twas a lowly cottage maiden going, why let
young hearts tell,
With her homely pitcher laden, fetching water
from the well.
Shadow, lay across the pathway, al along the
quiet lane;
And the breezes Of the morning moved them to
and fro again
Der the sunshine, DER the shadow, passed the
maiden Of the farm,
With charmed heart within her, thinking of
no i'll nor harm.
Pleasant, surely, were her musings, for the nod
ding leaves in vain
sssght to press their bright'ning image on her
ever-busy brain;
Leaves and Joyous birds went by her like din,
halfwaking dream,
And her soul was only conscious of life's glad
dest summer -gleam.
81 the old lanes shady turning, lay well of
water bright,
s:nging soft its hallelujahs to the gracious NOR
ming light -
Fern leaves, broad and green, bent Ger it where
its silyery droplets fell,
And the fairies dwelt beside it, in the spotted
~ foI-glore dell.
Back she bent the shading fern leaves, dipt her
pitcher in the tide
Drew it With the dripping waters flowing o'eI
its glazed side;
Bat before her arm could place it on her shiny,
waving hair,
By her side a youth wa. standing. Love re-
joiced to see the pair.
Tones Of tremulous emotion trailed upon the
morning breeze, .. .~

WOnlan'S Rights.

| late number of the Boston Medical and Sur
( gical Journal publishes paper read before the
Boston Society for Medical Improvement, by Dr..
W. Z. Coale, on the present fashion of dress
amongst our women, in relation to their health.
The following paragraphs merit the wise CON
sderation Of all Nhomit concerns:
| With view of improving their shape, the
lower part of the dress of women now consists of
six, eight, or even mere skirts, made of various
materials, cotton-the stiff Woolen materials in
tended for curtains called moreen flannel, and
at times quilted with cotton woodworking.
| together, as ascertained by actual experiment,
ten, twelve and even fifteen pounds. Each of
these is supported by string drawn very tight
ly round the body. We have seen the marks of
these strings for days after the skirts have been
remoyed-we have seen them even after death.
Here, then, is the first source of eyil-the con-
tinued pressure and eenstrans that these strings
keep up, evidently embarrassing greatly the or
gans within.
When to this, however, we add the weight Of
the skirts, we cannot but at once perceive how
great an additional force is set to work, particu-
larly if its operation, exerted upon organs
having amongst themselves mobility almost as
great as that of fluid, be properly estimated
To protect the abdominal riscera against this
pressure, remember there is nothing in front at
least save thin partition of woman's soft and
tensionless muscle. That these viscera should
be forced downwards is not surprising; they
must in turn exert an equal force downwards on
the pelvic viseera, is appareAt.
Here We have an explanation full, and VIC trust,
convincing of the frequency of disease in the
youngest and heartiest of the se1-which twenty
years ago was considered peculiar to those whose
powers of life we're greatly exhausted by demands
upon them, or were already On the decline from
age; an explanation, may mention in passing,
not yet offered as far as can ascertain, by any
other writer. r.
DR.. Coale says that until the last fifteen years,
although the dress was at all times worn low on
the chest, it was hung by broad shoulder-straps,
often coming from the shoulders high up towards
the sides of the neck. Prints illustrating the
fashions of this country prior to the time men
toned, and the customs of England and France
for any period, prove this. About fifteen years
siuce as ball dress, the shealder-s'raps were
left off, so that the upper line of the dress was
perfectly horizontal; and this, with the elastic
views of delicacy so peculiar to fashion, was of
ten low enough to disclose the edge of the arm
pit In this style there was danger of the dress
slipping down, and it would do so but for the
ingenious contrivance of whale bone uprights,
the lower ends of which supported at the ex-
pense of the inner vital organs, which they
are placed. s. - s---

Philosophy of a Carpet Bag.

Among the most common street sights is that
of gentleman hurrying along towards railway
or river bearing with him little carpet-bag.
So common it is that it fails to attract the slight
est attention. a little carpet-bag is no more
noticed than an umbrella walking-stick in
mans hand and yet when rightly viewed, it is,
to our thinking an object of no ordinary interest.
We feel no envy for the man on whom has de-
volved the charge of heap of luggage. The
anxiety attending such property outweighs the
pleasure of its possession But a man with a
little carpct-bag is one in ten thousand He is
perhaps the most perfect type of independence
extant. He can snap his fingers in the face of
Highland porter extortionate. No trotting urchin
is idle enough to solicit the carrying of so light
burden. While other passengers, by coach or
railway, are looking after trunks and trappings,
! he enters and has the. best seat. He and his
little an''s never part company. On arriving
at their destination, they off with the jaunty
swagger of ,unencumbered bachelorhood. In
contemplating gentleman with earpet-bag
we are struck, to certain extent, with an idea
of disproportion; but the balance is all on the
easy side There is far too little to constitute
burden, and yet there is enough to indicate wants
attended to and comforts supplied No man with
little carpet-bag in his hand has his last shirt on
his back. Neither is it probable that his beard
can suffer from slovenly overgrowth.t E 20
When he retres at night, the presumption is
that il will be in the midst of comfortable and
cosy night gear. A little carpet bag is almost
always indicative of short and pleasurable ex-
cursion. No painful ideas of stormy seas or
dreadful accidents on far off railway lines arc
| suggested by it, Distance is sometimes poeti-
| cally measured by small birds futter,'' or
{" two smokes of pipe" some such shadowy,
though not altogether indefinite phrase Why
may not time, in like manner, be measured by
two shirts? gentlemen with little carpet
bag may be said to contemplate about a couple
| of shirts absence from home Fzse -

oiairvoyance will look up after this if we are
to believe the New York Evening Post. So far
back as February, 1851, a. elairvoyant, on being
interrogated resee,sing the Arctic expeditions,
answered that Captain Austin, who commanded
one of the English ones, was at that time. in
longitude 95 deg. 40 min. west. This prediction
was recorded in Dr. Gregory's work on Animal
Magnetism, published in Edinburg last spring,
and re-issued here some time during the past
summer We remember distinctly reading the

re Imagine railway from here to the Sun How
many. hours is the sun from us Why, if we
were toisend a baby in an express train, going
necessarily hundred miles an hour. without
making any stoppages, the baby would grow to
be boy-the boy would grow to be man-the
man would grow old and die, without seeing the
sun, for it is distant more than hundred years
from us But what is this compared to Nep-
tunes distance? Had Adam and Eve started,
by our railway, at the creation, to go from Nep-
tune to the Sun, at the rate of fifty miles an
hour, they would not have got there vet; for
Neptune is more than six thousand years from
the centre of our system.
