MULTIPLYING NEGRoEs.-The slaves in this
country increased twenty five per cent. during
the last decade, and they have averaged that
rate of multiplication for the last fifty years,
and this wholly 10y natural increase, the
African slave trade having ceased in 1908.
During the last decade the tree negroes in this
country increased only ten and half per
cent, and by natural increase certainly not
more than five per cent, their numbers being
constantly swollen by manumissions and es-
capes from slavery. This fact of he slow in
crease of free negroes has been constantly OBJ
served in this country. Some of the causes 5
of this slow increase of free negroes, and of
the rapid multiplication of slaves, are obscure.
Others are plain. But the fact itself is undis-
puted and indisputabe. The four millions of
negroes which We have to-day in the condition
of slavery, will, if left in that condition, be-
come five millions in ten years. If emancipa-
ted, their increase in ten years, instead of be-
ing one million, will only be one-fiith of that
amount, taking the results of the last decade
as the guide of the calculation. 1t is slavery,
which is the breeding mother of negroes. By
emancipation, we shall have eight hundred
thousand fewer negroes in the country in 1870,
than we shall have by continuing slavery.

A farmer who has been protesting Union
sentiments. near Lewinsville, and whose house
has been guarded by our soldiers, was rear
rested on Saturday, by order of Gen. Smith,
and brought into camp, for having brought
his cattle down to the rebels, and for giving
them information about our troops. For such
conduct, equally infamous to that of Johnson,
who shot, being Virginian, he will be
compelled to take the oath of allegiance be-
fore he is released. In the meantime, the
penalty is death for any of our soldiers to dis
turb his private property.

Gen. Heintzelmans lines are still open to
re fugee slaves and closed to their capture by
masters. If the latter come, they are assured
thatAmerican soldiers are not slave catchers.
If they desire to return to their farms, they
informed that civilians are not admitted
within or beyond the camp, and are sent to
Alexandria. One would be- master has already
been there a month. Stone and Kelly, or
Halleck, and some others can learn lesson
of wisdom from this. Nobody but Secession
lists disapprovs of Gen. Heintzelman's conduct
while theirs gIieves and annoys the country.

THE BRAVE AT REST.

How sleep the brave who sink to rest;
With all their country's wishes blest
When spring, with dewy fingers coia'
Returns to deck their hailoWed mould,
She there shall dress s"eeter 500,
Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By form, unseen their dirge is sung
There honor comes, pilgrim grey,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell = weeping there.

Daniel Webster penned the following senti-

ish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it /;
if we rear temples they will crumble into dust;

imbue them with principles, with the just fear
of God and our fellow man, We engrave on
those tablets something that will brighten
through all eternlty.'

Robert j. Walker asserts with great posi-
tiveness, that the rebel treasury will complete
ly break down before next March, and that
the rebellion will by that time prove an utter
failure. Prominent Kentuckians aver that it
will require two or three great victories to
cure the rebels of their folly. This is also
Gen. McClellan's opinion. He believes that
the rebels must be soundly thrashed-beaten
on the field-before the rebellion will succumb.

of the sun; the brightness of our life is gone.
Shadows OF evening fall around us, and the

coming lonely night. The soul withdraws in
to itself. Then stars arise and the night is
holy.

A CURL CUT Orr WITH AN AxE.-"Do you

''Yes; but what of it Z 1t is, l suppose,
the curl from the head of dear child long
since gone to God" -
ssIt is not. 1t is a lock of my own hair and
it is now nearly seventy years since it was cut
from this head.''
s'But why do you prize a lock of your hair
80 much ?''
SIT has a story belonging to it. and q strange
one. keep it thus with care because it speaks
to me more of God and of his special care
than anything else possess.
81 was little child of four years old, with
long, curly locks, which, in sun, or rain, or
wind, hung down my cheeks uncovered.
One day my father went into the woods to cut
a log, and l went with him. l was standing a
little way behind him, or rather at his side,
watching with interest the heavy strokes of
the axe, as it went up and down upon the
wood, sending off spinters with every stroke,
in all directions. Some of the splinters fell
at my feet, and l eagerly stopped 10 pick them
up. In doing so / stumbled forward, and in

had fallen just at the moment when the axe
was coming down with all its force. 1t was
too late to stop the blow. Down came the
axe. l screamed, and my father fell to the
ground in terror. He could not stay the
stroke, and in the blindness which the sudden
horror caused, he thought he had killed his
boy. We soon recovered from my fright,
and he from his terror. He caught me In his
arms and looKed at me from head to foot, to
find out the deadly wound which he was sure
he had inflicted. Not a drop Of blood nor a
scar Was to be seen. He knelt upon the grass
and gave thanks to a gracious God. Having
done so he took his axe and found few hairs
upon its edge. He turned to the log he had
been splitting, and there was a single curl of
his boys hair, sharply cut through and laid
upon the wood. How great the escape! 1t
was as if an angel had turned aside the edge
at the moment when it was descending upon
my head. With renewed thanks upon his
lips he took up the curl, and went home with
me in his arms.
''That lock he kept all his days, as me-
mortal of Gods care and love. That lock he
left to me on his death-bed.'

Nor did she ever think otherwise. In after
years Iich and titled suitors solicited her hand
but she lived faithful to the memory of her
lost Henri. Her chief consolation was to take
her child, and showing him the cross of the
legion of honor which his father had won in
battle, point afterward to the portrait which
hung overhead, and bid him emulate the hero
ism of the departed.

REMARKABLE ILLUSTRATIONS OF INSECTS
The surprising faculties of vultures in discov-
ering carrion hiss been subject of much spec
ulati0n, as to whether it is dependent on their
powers of sight or of scent. 1t is not, howev
er, more mysterious than the unerring certain
ty and rapidhy with which some of the minor
animals, and more especially insects, in warm
climates, congregate around the offal on which
they feed. Circumstanced as they are, they
must be guided toward their object mainly, if
not exclusively, by the sense of smell; but
that which excites astonishment, is the small
degree of odor which seems to suffice for the
purpose the subtlety and rapidity with which
1t traverses and impregnates the air; and the
keen and quick PERCEPTION with which it is
taken up by the organs of those creatures.
The instance of the scavenger beadle has been
already alluded to; the promptitude with
which they discern the existance Of matter
suited to their purposes, and the speed with
which they hurry to it from all directions;
often from distances as extraordinary, proper
tionately, as those traversed by the eye of the
vulturs. In the instance of the dying ele-
phant referred to above, lite was barely eX-
tinct when the flies, of which not one was visi-
BILE but moment before, arrived in clouds and
blackened the body by their mutitudes
scarcely an instant was allowed to elapse from
the commencement of the decomposition no
odor or qualification could be discerned by us
who stood close by; yet some peculiar smell
Of mortality, simultaneously with parting
breath, must have summoned them to the
feast. Ants exhibit an instinct equally sur
prising. L have sometimes covered up par
ticle OF refined sugar with paper in the centre
of a polished table, and counted the number
of minutes which would elapse before it was
feasted on by the small black ants of Ceylon,
and line formed to lower it safely to the
floor. Here was a substance which, TO our
apprehension at least, it is altogether inodor-
Gus, and yet the quick sense of smell must
have been the only conductor of the ants.
1t has been observed of those fishes which
travel overland on the evapOrations of the
ponds in which they lived, that they invaria-
bly, marched in fhe direction of the nearest
water; and even when captured. and placed
on the floor of room, their efforts to escape
are always made towards the same point. Is
the sense of smell sufficient to account for this
display of instinct in them or is it aided by
special organs as in the case of the others
