DRAWING RATIoNs-There are some epi-
sodes in the life Of soldier provocative of
laughter, and that serve to disperse in some
measure the ennui of the camp.
Not long ago farmer who did not reside
so far from a camp of the boys as he wished he
did, was accustomed to find that every morning
several rows of potatoes had disappeared from
his field. He bore it some time, but when the
last half of his field of fine kidneys began to
disappear, be began to think that sort OF
thing had gone far enough, and determined to
stop it. According he made visit to camp
early next morning, and amused himself by
going around to see whether the soldiers were
provided with good wholesome provisions. He
had not proceeded far when he saw "boy' -
just serving up fine dish of kidneys, which
loc Led marveIously like those that the guide
wife had brought TO his own table. Hating,
the following colloquy ensued:
You have fine potatoes lere, | see"
Splendid !" was the reply.
"Where did you get them p
Draw them"
" Does Government furnish potatoes in your
rations ?"
Nary potatoe!"
81 thought you said you drew them 70
did we do just that thing"
I" But how, if they are not included in your
rations ?"
Easiest thing in the world won't you take
some with us?' said the soldier, as he seated
himself at TIE table opposite the smoking veg
etables
"Thank you; but will you oblige me by
telling how you draw your potatoes, as they
are not found by the Commissary
Nothing easier. Drac them By the tops
mostly"
Sometimes hoe, if one is left in the feld?'
Huml yes, [ understand. Well, see here,
if you won't draw any more of mine l will
bring You basket every morning and draw
them myself"
Bully for you, old fellow - was the cry,
and three cheers and tiger were given for
farmer . There, we liked to have writ
ten his name.
The covenant was entered into, and no one
but the owner drew potatoes from the field af-

MYSTERIES OF A PIECE OF CoAL-For years
no one would suppose that piece of soft coal,
dug from its mine or bed in the earth, possessed
any other quality than being combustibe, or
was valuable as any other purpose than as fuel.
1t was next found that it would afford gas
which is also combustibe. Chemical analysis
proved it TO be made of hydrogen In process
Of time mechanical and chemical ingenuity
devised a mode of manufacturing this gas and
applying it to the lighting of buildings and
cities on a large scale. In doing this other
products of distation were developed, until
step by step the following ingredients or mate
rials are extracted from it:
l. An excellent oil to supply lighthouses,
equal to the best sperm oil, and at lower
cost
2. Benzole; light sort of ethereal fluid
which evaporates easily, and combining with
vapor of moist air, is used FOR the purpose of
portable gas lamps so called.
3. Neptha; a heavy fluid, useful to dissolve
'Gutta Percha, India Rubber, &c
4. An oil excellent for lubricating purposes.
8. Asphaltum, which is black solid sub
stance, useful in making varnishes, covering
roofs, and covering over vaults.
6. Parrafne. This is a white chrystaline
substance resembling white wax, and which
can be made into beautiful wax candles 1t
melts at a temperature of 10 degrees, and
affords an excellent light.
One can hardly realize, when he takes a
lump of heavy smutty coal in his hand, that he
holds concentrated therein all these different
ingredients chained within, and which little
heat properly applied, will lberate and present
in their separate forms, ready for the several

A WONDERFUL FoRrIFICATIoN-Am
the relies in which Kentucky abounds of the
work of ages anterior to the presence of the
Anglo Saxon on the western hemisphere, one
OF the most remarkable is said to exist in Allen
county, on the Tennessee border, and seventeen
miles from Bowling Green, where a wall OF
solid limestone, two hundred yards in length,
forty feet high, thirty feet at the base, and six
feet wide at the top, crosses a neck formed by
bend in Drake creek, and incloses a PENN
sula OF 200 acres, inclosed by a wall and a
ditch forming one of the strongest fortrcsses
in the world. 1t is not improbable that the
fortunes of war may cause this old fortifcation
to be occupied by hostile force, and made to
play prominent part in this civil contest.

Nor VERY CoNcILrAroRY.-Th Detroit Ad-
vertser makes the following altogether ill
timed and unjust reflections upon the people
of Texas, assuming which is not fact, that a
large majority of the people are for seces-
sion:
A few years ago Texas, composed, largely
of refugees aud fugitives from justice, was on
her knees, begging for admission into the
Onion. Congress, to cohciliate the slave pow
er, admitted her, paid her debts amounting
TO $4,000 900 or $4,000 000 and involved
the United States in a war which cost $780,,
100000 more. And now this same Texas,
after having her debts paid 10y the Northern
people, is one of the noisiest and fiercest for
secession. But it is not very strange, per-
haps, that a people with such antecedents
should possess neither honesty nor honor
They began their career as free hooters, and
it is natural that they should end it as trai-
tors Their ancestors ran away from the
States to escape justice, and it is proper that
they attempt to destroy Union which Of
fers some restraint against their piratieal in

FROM Mr. Ludlam, who resides on the Car

Territorial Enterprise, that party of Pah-
Utahs, who were camped near the Sink OF
Humboldt, sent a deputation into Fort
Churchill, to state that they desired peace
and wished an Indian Agent to be sent among
them, as they heard occasionally in their in-
tercourse with the whites. that they 1.-THE
whites) wanted to fight them. They said
they desired peace and wished the whites to
prospect, bat TO use them right They further
stated that the northern Indians were bellig

who made the statement-was disposed t.
rule all Indians out of his tribe, who woull
not obey his orders. They seem to desir
that the whites should thoroughly under

tanning it had been fixed according to direc-
tions expressed himself satisfied with the
work and asked the charge. and was told
fourteen dollars and quarter. He then
said he had not money enough to foot the
bill, but would pay the next time he visited
the city. The blacksmith informed him that
as he was unacquainted with him, he could
not have the wagon until he paid the BILL
The countryman retorted. saying the work
was not done according to directions, and ut
tered some vile epithets towards the black
smith, st which the latter became much excl
ted and pitched into the countryman, getting
the latter's head in chancery la Keenan,
As soon as they were separated by the by
ISLANDERS the countryman asked the black
smith how much the bill was. On being
told, he said. "Give me a receipt and will
pay the bill" which he did, and went on his
way rejoicing that he was not more severely

that Swiss mother once saw her child play

saved. And when the genius of our Union,
who has watched our magnificent progress
so long, shall unfurl that flag which was first
