How Souls DREss IN HEAvEN.--The
New England Spiritualist, IN a late
issue, gives letter from Our LADY
Correspondent in the spirit-world who
makes the foil wing revelations in re-
gard to the fashions up above
The males generally wear loose
whit garments. with girdle made of
different kinds Of material, generally
Of gold or silver cord, some wear jew.
els, but this is not common. They
wear their hair and beard long, and
sand lis of velvet of various hues. The
females are more elaborate in dress :;
they have more taste that way, and are
allowed to indulg it, for the motive Of
dress here is not the same as on earth.
1t is not for vanity, or for any such
motive, but from love of the pure
beautiful, and desire to do every hing
pleasant in the sight of God.
Il generally dress, in light blue
dress, made loose AMI flowing; silver
cord around the waist, or IA jeweled
g'rdle. wear my hair long, braided,
and sometimes flowing, or bound with
a silver band. l have also white dress

aid girdle, made in the shape of leaves,

Curious CASE 1t appears that in
the county J.ll of Albany, there is a
man beyond the reach OF the commit
ting magistrate and the law. When
arrested ha gave an assumed name,
which he seems to have forgotten, as
be does not answer to 1t, and the Off.
GERS in charge have forgotten thr name.
The j.ilor recollects having locked him
up, but cunt say when, or under what
name. Under thus state, the magis-
trate is powerless, he cannot bring him
out of jail without discharge, and that
discharge must contain the name un-
der which he was committed, and the
jailor will not release him until a war
rant for his release is given. The
Court has no power, because he can
not legally be brought before them.
Tne Governor is equally l,me in law,
because he is not under sentence OF
any Court. There is no legal way by
which he can be brought out of Jail.
but the magistrate who committed him
and the magistrate who locked HIM up,
could, after they became satisfied Of
his real name. come to an understand
ing by whicn his name can be register
ed on the jail Records, and then his
discharge would be legal. But there
is no law for such proceeding.

The whole tract of country between
the Tigris and the EuphFates is hallow-
ed ground in the legends of Islam
Here pilgrims collect the bones Of the
martyrs of the faith here are the
graves of Adam. Noah, Ezekiel, and
Esd-as, and those of six ,maums Of the
prophets family-Atl. Hassan, Husein,
Askeri, Kas,m and Taxi; and here is
an object sl,ll more worthy of devout

Mehdi. the last OF the twelve imaums,

ALL ABOUT HEADS.

Tho head of family is the best
head, phrenologically speaking. known
among heads They are the heads
that produce nations, religions and
homes; they enjoy PROSPERITY happi-
ness and hot breakfasts they possess
glory, contentment and resp .nsibili-
ties > they build cities, society and
generous hopes for the future. The
perpetuity Of the race, the glory Of tn
world and the hopes Of ralvation rest
but lightly. trow--upon these
thrice-honored heads. Concentrate
the dough head, the mule, head, the
leather hea: :, and all other h ads, and
they will not have as much weight,
honor or happiness as one head OF
family. They are sensible heads, too,
and If they were on our legislators
shoulders. those individuals would do
the work they have to do, and hasten
to their homes, where they all ought to
be, if they possess worldly institutions.
The head of family ought to be the
head of the heap, but the head Of the
heap, in this fast age, is quite ii differ
ent thing. The head of the heap is
the apex of cone made of hoops, erin.
oline, lace, aud sometimes cheap cali
co. They are light, and hence, like
all light substances, become considera
bly, elevated. They are very like the
apples of the Dead Sea, fair to look up
on. but ashes to the touch. If they
could be preserved, which is an impos-
sibiliiy, they would be valuable speci-
mems to place 10 the Academy Of Ma
tural Sciences.
There is nothing more unde6nable
than the head Of navigation. THIS Int
ter is trading agent of spectators,
possessing the power of ubiqu'ty to-
day, here s,lling town lots at great
prlces, to-morrew, gone with the pro-
eeeds up country, and the next day
climbing the side of Shasta Butte, Ia
Bile Mountain. or wadlng in the swamps
of the Tulare Valley l r gret that
the Legislature did not, in their appro-
priation as a reward for the head of
Tom Bell, contribute few dollars to
pay the expenses OF corraling this row
ing institution.
With the hope that dough heads will
all get baked, mutton heads roasted,
leather heads hammered, the heads Of
sermons taken off, the heads of a fami-
ly their wants, the head Of the heap
preserved, the head of navigation cor
raled, and your own head handsomely
tiled, | am, yours, sc. FELIX SNoB.

THE FATE OF Mexico The hand
of fate is heavy upon Mexico. The
tale must soon be told. She is stag

They know, too, that regeneration can
only come from without, and whence
It is to come is an interesting qu stion.

connection. After reviewing the chro-

n ULASS EYE -'Once on time,
s,ys a correspondent of Harper, lit
was my fortune, the fortune of war, to
be stationed at Fort Mann, better
known as Camp S'ds, near the cros-
sing of the Arkansas. Doctor Ridley,
who is one of the most generous fel-
lows and capital officers that were ever
raised in the State of Maryland, was
the surgeon of the post, and Of course,
had charge of the sick, the lame, and
The lazy, who wore the uniform of Un-
c.e Sam and drew his money. Not ii
few were in the habit of playing 'old
soger,' and getting on the sick list as
often as they couln, and staying there
as long. Among number who att nd
ed the Doctors levee at sick call, was
u long headed Scotchman, who bad
been sized with severe desire to rest
from his labors for while, and the
seat of his malady on which he relied
for the privilege he sought was one of
his eyes, in which h. professed to have
an ,nlolerabl. and constant pain. The
Decor took look at the offending mem
Der, and ord red the patient to keep
quiet, TO sit in the shade, and to have
his eye washed with mixlurs which
he prepared, and hoped would in few
days subdue the Inflammation and bring
all right again. The few days passed
with no improvement, and the various
lotions were applied with no better eff
feet. The Doctor determined to make
more critical examination, and when
Scotty came to sick COLL, he lifted up
the eyelid, could see nothing out of the
way, pres ed dow upon it, when to his
horror out popped the eye into the
Scotchman's hand 1t was a glass eye
and Sandy had been playing sick The
while. The Doctor lost this usual
equanmi'y. and | am sorry to say that
he used some language that might,
without violence 10 truth, be called pro-
fame. The Scotchman was complain
ed Of, and brought before court-mar-
tial for conduct prejudicial to good Or
der and military discipline but when
the Judge Advocate read the specifi-
cations, the President adjouened the
Court. discharged the prisoner, took
all hards to the suttler's store, and all
came back drunk, xcept one, who is
your correspondent; and We add, was
perhaps not able to get back at all.
