He was young man, my, boy, in the
prime of life, and descended from the
first families Of Virginia. That is to say,
his mother was virgin. AT least that's
what understand by the first families of

He took his place, and we fired sinful

The Alpine Cross.

BY JAMES 7. FIELDS.
Benighted once whore Alpine storms

Hating with fear, benumbed with cold,
Whilst swift the ayalanches rolled,

"The path is lost!-to moue is death!'5

The howling winds came fiercer down;
shrouded in such dismal sceie, ..ca

Remedy for the Bite of Mad Dogs.

A Saxon forester, named Gastell, now
of the venerable age of 80, unwilling to
take to the grave with him secret of so
much importance. has made public in the
Leipsic Journal the means which he has
used for fifty years, and wherewith he
affirms he has rescued many, human be-
ings and cattle from the fearful death Of
hydrophobia. Take Immediately warm
vinegar or tepid water; wash the wound
clean Herewith, and then dry it; then
pour upon the wound few drops Of hy-
drochloric acid, because mineral acids de.
stroy the poison of the saliva by, which
means the latter is neutralized.

Deprived of the Gospel by Foxes,


/ That was a novel but not so bad an ar
gument which the mountaineer urged in
sthe Kentucky Legislature. A few years
ago a bill proposing a premium on fox
scalps was under discussion. 1t had
been somewhat roughly handled in de-
bate by members from the populous re-
gions, where foxes were scarce, and Mr..
L., from one Of the mountain coun.
ties, rose to reply:--'And we, Mr.. Speak
er--we Of the mountain regions--are not
only to witness the annual destruction of
our crops, but actually to be deprived by
these varmnts of the consolation of re-
liGon" This woke the House up, and
set it agape for an explanation. He con-
tinued:-"You know, Mr.. Speaker, that
we live in a rough country; that your
fancy churches-your Presbyterians and
Episcopalians-never send preachers. ~
mong us. We depend for the gospel up.
on the circuit-riders of the Methodist
church; and, sir, everybody knows that
they cannot be induced to travel where
there are no chickens, and that chickens
cannot be raised where foxes aboundw

How They Shrek.

The Northern papers are full Of denun-
Citations, fierce and bitter, against the Ad-
ministration for its management of mill
tary movements generally and at Lees
burg particularly. In a late number OF
the Indianapolis Journal is a lengthy ar
ticle, of which the first paragraph, which
we copy herewith, is fair samples:
When, in the name of the dearest hopes
of the republic, when will the horrid
blunders of this war cease? When shall
we quit our weeping over noble lives sac
rificed, cruelty sacrificed, iu our almost
despairing efforts to crush this hellish re.
bellion? Alas! it is needless to ask. The
interrogatory has been put too often, SC
long, that the soul sickens and hope per.
ishes in ashes upon the heart. At Big
Bethel, where noble lives fell, we asked
why? zs -sY
At Vienna, where the blood soaked soil
cried out-why? why? Webelieved the
good lesson taught, and in confidence
said, "Our blunders here end" Did theyi
Let the heart of a stricken nation tell
Let the broken-hearted wives, mothers
and sisters OF those whose blood made red
the waters of that awful Run, and clotted
on adjacent soil, speak; and do not all
voice it back in one united utterance, o
blunder, dreadful, awful, criminal mis-
take? But more. What, when the sad
news of the brave Lyons fall shocked the
country, was the voice of an indignant
people? What, when Lexington fell, and
scores of its heroic defenders fell too, to
rise no more? Does not the response still
come, butchery and blunders follow us on
every hand2 And now follows the crush,
ing national affiiction of the murder--for
1t is murder-of the brave and good Ba-
ker at the Leesbure fight .f r,.f5.

The Improved Southern Yankee.

Tie daily Mississippian, in common

up the war club against the salt specula.
tions, and pitches into them handsomely
Should not those creatures hereabouts
who practice the same extortions with re-
spect to other articles of provisions, as
well as salt, be taken in hand and receive
the same just castigation:
"If it be against the law to give aid and
comfort to our enemies,we should like to
know by what system of ethics the spec
ulating Yankee harpy can be permitted
TO buy up articles of prime necessity and
demand from the people ten prices for
them. In times of war the people must
tect'themselves from the ravages OF
their enemies. The man who pays one
dollar for sack of salt, and charges ten
dollars for it, simply because the necessi.
ties of his country compel his neighbor to
give it, is a heartless, cold blooded, specu.
lating Yankee. He is the worst of enc.
