MISCELLANEOUS,
The Two Brothers.

The Count de Lingniville and Count de
Autricourt, twins, descended from an an
clent family in Lorraine, resembled each
other so much that when they put on the
same kind Of dress, which they did now
and then for amusement, their servants
could not distinguish the one from the 9th
er Their voice, gait, and department was
the same, and these marks of resemblance
were so perfect that they often threw their
wives and friends into the greatest embar-
rasSment. Being both captains of light
horse, the one would put himself at the
head Of the others squadron without the
officers ever suspecting the change. Count
Autrcourt having committed come crime,
the Count de Ligniville never suffered his
brother t. 20 out without ACCOMPANYING
him, and the fear Of seizing the innocent
tor the guilty rendered the orders to arrest
the former Of no avail. One day Count
de Ligniyille sent for barber, and having
suffered him to shave one halfof his beard,
he pretended to have occasion to 90 into
the next apartment and put his nightgown
upon bis brother, who was concealed there,
aud taking the cloth from about his neck,
he put it under the chin Of his brother,
and made him sit down in the place he had
just quilted. The barber immediately re-
sumcd his operation, and was proceeding to
finish what he had begun, as he supposed,
but to his great astonishment he found
that new beard had sprung up, Not
doubling that the person under his hands
was the devil, he roared out with terror.
and sank down in a sBoCn on the floor
Whist they were endeayorinc to bring him
to life, Count de Autricourt retired again
into his closet, and Count de LigniyiIle,
who was half shaved, returned to his for
mer place. This was a new case Of sur
prise to the poor barber, who now imagined
that all he saw was dream, and he could
not be convinced of the truth until he saw
the two brothers together The sympathy
that subslsted between the two brothers
was no less singular than their resemblance.
IT one felt sick the other felt indisposed
also; if enc received a wound the other felt
pain; aud this was the case with every mis-.
fortune that befel them, 50 on this account
they watched over each others conduct
with the greatest care and attention. But
what is still more astonishing, they
both had often the same dreams The day
the Count de AutricouTt was attacked in
France by the fever Of which he died, the
Count dc Ligniville was attacked by the
same in Bavaria, and was nearly sinking
under it.

Cherry Water.

Everywhere in the northern cantons
fruit trees are standing like forests; and
there IS not only brandy distillery in al
most every commune, but also cider mill.
Pears are pressed for their juice, and cher
rles crushed to make what they call cher
ry water. We one day saw a decanter up
on table filled with what We supposed to
be water, as it was colorless, and we had
never seen any stronger liquid without
some slight tinge Of yellow, red, or purple.
Being thirsty, we thought to help our
selves, and took a generous draught, which
in an instant had pervaded every drop of
blood in our veins. 1t was cherry wafer,
but it surely deserves a more significant
appellation. 1t was made By crushing
fresh cherries and pounding; as the juice

then kept slightly warm till fermentation
takes place, which sometimes happens the

Teachers Duty Respecting Public Opin.

The acknowledged realm of the teach
er is constantly charging the duties that
the teacher Of today owes to his scholars
are far more numerous and responsible
than restsd upon the teacher half a century
ago 1t is the natural and benefcent re-
suit Of much thought by the wisest men,
as the world rises to iuster views of hu-
man life, to clearer perceptions of the ma
ture, powers, and capabilities of the hu-
man mind; as the commonplace remark
that education determines mans career,
is more fully understood, people naturally
demand that the teachers Of the young be
wise and good enough to mould their char
aeters and fix their habits of thought Judi
clously. A careful observer will perceive
great elevation IN the general tone of pub
nc sentiment in this respect. Almost eY-
erybody admits that the teacher should be
person of irreproacbable moral character,
OF purity in the use of language, of exem-
plary care in the choice of companions. of
such excellence of conduct and influence
that his pupils may safely and proftably

New YORK, April 8. The CONNER
Gals Washington dispatch states that a
meeting of the Cabinet was held this
morning, which was attended by Gen.
Scott, who was hastily summoned. Capt
Fox has arrived here from Fort Sumter,
and it is thought the consultation was in
reference to reinforcing Major Anderson.
There is considerable excitement here.
The special messenger ON the Alexan-
dria and Orange Railroad has been tarred
and feathered because he is Republican.
New YORK, April 3. A special dis
patch from Charleston to the Day Book,
says the furnishing of provisions to Major
Anderson was stopped to-day. General
Beauregard is now inspecting the fortif.
cations, as orders from Montgomery fol
the commencement of hostilities are hourly
expected. The preparations are all com
plcted.

A dispatch to the Tribune say that the
opponents of secession in the Richmond
Convention have clear majority of 20.
The Tribune says that at several recent
sittings of the Cabinet, an energetic pol
icy relative to Fort Sumter was strongly
urged, and the idea of reinforcement is
now entertained in quarter hitherto re-
garding it impracticable. Several lead
ing naval officers express the belief that
Fort Sumter could be reinforced with an
ordinary risk by steamers in the night.
A dispatch to the Herald says that
Tortugas and Key West have been rein
forced by troops from Texas, and Fort
Pickens will also be reinforced without
delay.
In consequence of the great disaffection
about the Morrill, tariff, the collection of
the Revenue and the movements at Fort
Sumter and Pickens, an extra session of
Congress will be called.
A dispach from Washington says that
Mr.. Adams, the new Minister to England,
received his instructions and left Wash
ington yesterday. He will sail for England
during the present month.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April |. Especial dis
n,tcb to the New York Tribune. All
the speculations which have been made in
regard to the probable decision of the adj
ministration concerning the southern forts
must be received with grains of allowance.
The points of embarrassment concerning
Fort Sumter, in the Presidents mind. as
announced with entire candor, is, that if
it be yielded, and the federal authority
he thus withdrawn under real or sup
posed necessity, similar reasons may be
urged as to Fort Pickens and other points,
which are not considered in the same cat
eporv. He has never entertained the idea
of abandoning the principle announced in
the inaugural, and, if the military necess-
ity should be accepted as to Fort Sumter,
it will be for reasons which in no way af-
feet it, and which will not be held to APP
ply clswhere.
There never has been any purpose enter
tanned by the administration of abandon
ing Fortress Monroe, as has been alleged
in some of the sensation papers and that
idea never will be tolerated until the
power of the government is utterly over
thrown. In ordering some of the large
guns from Richmond there, recently, ii
was with no intention of reinforcement
but simply as place Of deposit. Gen
Scott has given this assurance personally
to some of his friends, but the cxaspera-
ted state of feelings prevent an explana-
ton from being properly understood.
Col. Ford has ordered all the heavy
guns and ordinance stores at Brazos Island
to be removed from the scene of anticipa.
