A DAUGHTER OF THE REGIAEsT.-The PhiIa-
delphia Fire Zouaves have attached to their
corps young lady named Virginia Hall as,
rirandfere of the regiment. In person Miss
Hall is above the medium hight. She is a
bright blonde, having clear blue eye, and her
light hair cut short like a lad and parted on
the side. Her nose is slightly retrous,e, her
mouth well formed, and when she converses
even dentists might go mad at the display Of
so fine a set of teeth. Her uniform consists of
blue Zouave shirt, trimmed with same color
ed braid, Zouave jacket of the same color,
and similarly ornamented, tunic shirt, dark
pants. Zouave light leather CATERS, extending
from the knee down, liberty cap with red
band, blue top, green sash and hospital
stewards chevron. She wears q short sword
and small revolver attached to her belt. Deci-
dedly her appearance is prepossessing. Miss
Hall is Bostonian by birth; she received
fine education at one of the academic institu-
tions on the Western Reserve, Ohio, and by
her intelligence, fine conversational powers,
and pleasing manners, she impresses those
who form her acquaintance very favorably.
She. makes herself generally useful about the
hospital, and renders whatever service she
can to make the camp more comfortable. The
Fire Zouaves take great pride in her, and
quickly resent any imputations made against
their Uiuandiere.

AN ACCoMMoDATIsG SUPERsTITIoN.-A habit
exists among the Esquimaux of placing on the
graves of the dead the hunting implements
used by them while living, which are held sa-
cred and never molested. An American Off
Ger states that on recent voyage to the Arctic
regions they were anxious to obtain, as speci-
mems, some implements laying on the grave
of an Esguimaux who had been a celebrated
hunter. They would not take them, of course,
without consent of the friends of the deceased,
and tailed in their endeavor to purchase them.
In this dilemma, however, they were informed
that the Great Spirit would be propitiated by
the substitution of some knifes on the grave.
Knives amounting amply to a qaid pro quo were
accordingly placed on the grave, and the hunt
ing implements removed but, singular to
state, the natives, who considered it sacrilege
to take the hunters relics, appropriated the
knives one by one, till all lad diappeared.

EXPERIENCES OF IMpRIsoNMENr-The fol-
lowing is an extract from Count Goulfailconiers
account of his imprisonment: s!Fifteen years
l existed in dungeon ten feet square Du-
ring six years had companion during nine
was alone l never could rightly distinguish
the face of him who shared my captivity, in
the eternal twilight of our cell. The first year
we talked necessarily together we related our
past lives, our joys forever gone, over and over
again. The next year we communicated to
each other our thoughts and ideas oD all sub.
jects. The third year we had no ideas to com
municate; we were beginning to lose the power
of reflection. The fourth, at an interval of a
month or two, we would open our lips to ask
each other if it were possible that the world
went on as gay and busting as when we formed
portion of mankind. The fifth we were 81
lent. The sixth he was taken away never
knew where-to execution or liberty. But
was glad when he was gone even solitude
was better than the pale, vacant face. One
day ut must have been year or two after my
companion left me) the dungeon door was
opened whence proceeding | know not, the
following words were uttered sby order of
his Imperial majesty, intimate to you that
your wife died year ago." Then the door
was shut, and heard no more they had but
flung this great agony upon me, and lett me
alone with it.'

LANES STYLE.--A startling specimen of the
obnoxious doings of ssJim Lane'' is furnished
in the st. Louis Democrats dispatches from
Upton. After using the contents of two rebel
stores to relieve some Union families, whom
the Secessionists had robbed, General i'm
called the citizens of Pleasant Hill together,
beneath the glorious Union flag land entertained
them with live American speech. Pointing
to the ensign he had raised. he said to them :
t'That flag has been your protection, and shall
be still. So long as it remains here you are
safe; but il it is cut down, by the Eternal
will return and burn your town!' He then
retired, with all his men. The affair occurred
two weeks ago, and although the denizens of
Pleasant Hill are said to be about all secession
lists, that flag is still waving over the town.

WHAT WE EAT AND DRINK.

The readers of ssHerodotus'' shudder when
they come to his account Of the Issedones-
among whom, when parent dies, the son COL
lects his friends and relatives together slays
cattle proportionate to his means, cuts up his
dead father along with the sheep and the oxen,
and, mingling all the flesh together in one
sayory mass, invites his guests to partake of
the banquet. The reader dwells upon the in
cident, which, although shocking for It's bar
oarity, exhibits remarkable ingenuity in gas
tronomy, and very singular ideas Of fiiai re-
gard. Singular. Not so singular after all.
VIII 1t be believed that our own people, in like
manner, show their reverance for the dead by
feeding on their ancestors Not that they
now eat man plain boiled or palpably roast
ed. We are fastidious in our cookery our
city magnates have some little reputation as
gournlets and the human flesh was not more
carefully disguised by the Issedones in kind
of enormous Yorkshire pie, than the dead are
transmitted, by the aid of rare gastronomy,
for our unhappy fellow-citzens. The kitchen
where this art is practiced is the churchyard !;
the cook is the sexton; mattock and spade
are his ladle and knife; and day and night the
steam of the hidious olio spreads around; the
citizens breathe it contentedly, and the Cog
and Magog grin their delight as the odor reach
es them. Let no one fancy that we al c speak
ing metaphorically. There is no truth better
ascertained, and which the psychologists of the
day are more anxious to inculcate, than that
the air we breathe is as much the food of man
as the solids we eat and the liquids We drink
Many persons will, perhaps, sneer at the as
sertions Of physiology, deny their truth, be-
cause not obvious to our senses, and continue
to hug themselves in their indifference. These
wise individuals forget the story Of the Brah-
min who thought it as henious an offence to
touch animal food as we do to taste human
flesh. 1t was shown to him, with microscope,
that he daily partook of myriads of animaculse,
and he dashed the instrument to pieces. 1t is
easily demonstrated that we daily, hourly,
feed on the bodies OF our fellow citizens-fath-
ers, brothers, friends, and we laugh at the SCI
ence, and keep up the good old custom.

JEFF. THoMPsoN's FAMLY.-The Louisville
Journal says that Colonel NJ. jeff Thompson,
who is at the head of an army of rebels in Mis-
souri,, has for several years been a real estate
and insurance agent at st. Joseph, and for one
or two terms held the Office of Mayor of that
city. When he told his wife that he had de-
cided to join the Confederate army, she en-
treated him not to do so, and enlisted the aid
and influence of the neighbors and friends to
persuade him from the rash act. He declared
her sscrazy," and, assisted by others of the
same like as himself, had her placed in an
asy lum at St. Louis. A letter from st. Louis
last week states that she is again at st. Joseph,
begging her food and raiment from the Union
citizens.

"HURRAH PA great many people have
shouted sshurrah" ssmany time and of, - but
comparatively few, however, know its deriva-
tion and meaning. The same word, and for
the same purpose, is used all the world over,
and originated among the eastern nations,
where it was used as war cry, from the be-
lief that every man who died in battle for his
country, went to Heaven. It is derived from
the Sclavonic word Hu raj, which means sTo
Paradise

1t is supposed the number of copies of the
Scriptures in existence in the world before the
present century, did not exceed four millions.
In the year 1860 the British and Foreign Bible

ing an increase of 307 per cent in thirty years.
The ssCritic'' says the aggregate issue of BIZ
