TRIcKING TmEF.-A Cuban physi-
elan having been robbed TO serious ex-
tent in his tobacco works, discovered the
thief by the following ingenious artifce !;
Having called his negro slaves together
he addressed them thus -" My friends,
tho Great Spirit appeared 10 mo during
the night, and told me that the person
who stole my money should, at this in
stant-this very iastant--havo parrots
feather at the point of his nose" AT
this announcement, the thief, anxious to
find out if his guilt had declared itself,
put his finger to his nose. Man, criod
tho master, instantly, "tis thou who hast
robbed me, The Great Spirit has just
told me SO" .f

MILITARY EDUcATIoN--THE UNIvER-
sIrY.--In these times of war, when every
man is liable 10 be called into the service
of the Country, when incompetent Off
GERS are in command of companies, regi-
ments, and briga1es, and when competent
officers are in demand and are driven into
obscurity, it is well TO cast around and
determine what means are in reach of
our citizens for obtaining military edu-
cation. The nation has but one military
school--West Point---and West Point
cannot furnish instruction to one in a
thousand who need and desire it. There
are private military schools, but of limi-
ted accommodations and inaccessible TO
our citizens. A demand for military in
struction is felt in our own State. and
can that demand be better met than by
the establishment of a military depart.
ment in the University of Michigan q
We think that such action by the Board
of Regents would meet pressing and
permanent want,-for growing martial
spirit will not be crushed out with the
present rebellion, and be decidedly pop.
ular with the people. There need be but
one or two Professors at first and while
all regular students might gain health and
strength 10y being required to drill, it
should also be made special department
and students admitted TO the department
who need not take other courses.
We hope that the Regents of tho
University will consider this matter, de-
wise some plan for the speedy establish
ment of military course, and then call
upon the State TO aid the work. We see
no other way in which il can DO done so
cheaply, so thoroughly, or so generally.

SUSTAIN THE RIGHT

We may not all, with powerful blow,
Do champions for the RIGnr;
But all with firm, undaunted brow,
May stand mistaken mid the flow
OF wrongs sustained from Might;
ONE word may turn the wavering scale,
oSE willing, honest hand
Uphold the cause that else might fall,
Although by genius planned.

IMPORTANT LAND Decision. Tho
Commissioner Of the General Land or
flee, (Judge Edmunds,) has recently made
n decision in answer TO the inquiry wheth-
er the pre-emption claims of persons en-
listing will be protected during their ab-
sence, which will be of great interest to
volunteers who have entered claims. The
Commissioner states that if the pre-emp-
tor has filed his declaratory statement,
and in all respects met the requirements
of the law up to the time Of enlistment,
the time of actual service will not run
against him rs to result in the forfeiture; ;
provided, notice Of the time Of entry into
and termination of service is promptly
filed with the Register and Receiver, and
such steps are taken rs will show bona
tide intention to return to the tract, by
leaving his family on the land, where he
has one, and where no family, that the
premises shall be placed in proper charge
for the prc-emptor, so that residence and
cultivation shall be continued when the
military service is at an end; and then,
where the pre-emption law in all other
respects shall have been fully complied
with, the grounds of exemption should
be established, when the proving up takes
place as preliminary to payment and ac-
tual purchase. r..r...

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TIARA very
mean man once hired a servant girl for
six months, agreeing to give her her
board for her services. In few weeks
he discharged her, and the father of tho
girl sued the man for damages. When
the case came TO trial, the following con-
versaiion took place between tho Judge
and the defendant:
Judge" Why did you discharge tho
girlw
Detendant.--" She was such an cnor-
nous eater"
j." But you agreed to board her for
her work 2"
D." Yes, your honor, but she eat so
voraciousls."
j." How much would it cost to feed
her? One dollar q weck?"
D." Oh, that isn't circumstance"
j." Perhaps dollar and q half, or
two dollars?"
D." Nothing less than two dollars
and a half, | assure your honor"
J-(Wiih merry twinkle in his eye.)
" Wcll' then, give judgment that you
pay TO the girl two dollars and half per
week for the remaining time she was en-
gaged--which according to your own
statement of the contract, is what she is
entitled to-"

WHAT is IN THE BEDROOM ?-If two
persons are to occupy bedroom during
a night, let them step upon weighing
scales rs they retire, and then again in
the morning, and they will find their ac-
tual weight is at least pound less in the
morning Frequently there will be loss
of two or more pounds, and the average
loss throughout the year will be moro
than one pound. That is, during the
night there is loss of pound Of matter
which has gone off from their bodies,
partly from the lungs, and partly through
the pores of the skin. The escaped ma
terial is carbonic acid, and docayed ami
NAL matter, or poisonous exhalations.
This is diffused through tho air in part,
and in part absorbed by the bed clothes.
Ii single ounce Of wood or cotton be
burned in room, il will so completely
saturate the air with smoke that one can
hardly breathe, though there can only be
one ounce of foreign matter in the air.
If an ounce of cotton be burned every
half hour during the night, the air will
be kept continually saturated with smoke
unless there be an open door or window
for it to escape. Now the sixteen ounces
of smoke, thus formed, is far less poison
Gus than the sixteen ounces of exhala-
tions from the lungs and bodies Of the
two persons who have lost pound in
weight during the eight hours of sleeping,
for while the dry smoke is mainly taken
into the lungs, the damp odors from the
body are absorbed both into the lungs
and into the pores of the whole body.
Need more be said TO show the inn
portance of having bedrooms well venti-
lated and Of thoroughly airing the sheets,
coverlids, and mattresses, in the morning,
before packing them up in the form of
neatly made bodl lam. Agriculturist.

HATrERAs INLET.-The capture Of this
point is a movement in the right direc-
ton, and demonstrates the fact that we
have Navy, and we hope that the opcr-
ations upon the rebel coast so well begun,
will be continued. Gen. BUTLER, in his
official report, thus alludes to the impor-
tance Of the point captured
"On consulting with flag officer, String.
ham, and Commander, Stellwager, | de-
termined TO leave troops and hold the
Fort, because of the strength of the for
tifications, its Importance, and because if
again in the possession of the enemy,
with sufficient armament, of the diff
Guilty Of recapturing it. The Importance
of the point can not be overrated. From
there the whole coast of Virginia and
North Carolina, from Norfolk to Cape
Lookout, is within our reach by light
draft vessels which can not possibly live
at sea. During the winter months, from
it offensive operations may be made upon
the whole coast Of North Carolina, 10
Bo9ne Inlet, extending many miles inland,
to Washington, Newburg and Beaufort.
In the The language of the chief engin,
Ger of the rebels, in an official report, it
is the key of the Albermarle.' In my
judgment, it is station second in impor-
tance only to Fortress Monroe on this
coast. AS depot for coaling and sup
plies for the blockading squadron, it is
invaluable; as a harbor for our coastng
trade, or inlet from the winter storm, OF
from pirates, il is of the first importance.
BY holding it, Hatteras light may again
send forth cheering ray to tho storm
beaten mariner" t-
