SNATcHINa A KIss.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial relates the
following incident that occurred while the
Eighth Regiment was on its way from this
city to Camp Dennisou: 1aai
Capt. Buckingham, of Crawford county,
supposed the train would stop at Cresline,
and notified his wife. Unfortunately the
orders were to pass through Crestline with
out stopping. The train, however, check
ed up a little, but the rate Of speed was
still high. The gallant Captain saw his
wife on the platform, made a desperate
spring, clasped her in his arms, kissed her
quickly, and under tremendous applause
from his comrades on board, sprang back
on the flying train-having barely time to
reach the rear car. My informant says the
scene was extremely affecting, and that the
gallant Captain snatched the parting kiss
at the imminent risk Of his life-the speed
of the train being such as TO endanger the
safety of any person who had the hardi.
hood to leap from il, and infinitely much
more dangerous to man attempting to
leap upon it. We shall hear Of Capt. Buck
ingham again, If he reaches the battle

Col. .ElWOrlh's ZOuaves.A Move.
mcnt not laid down in Hardee.

We learn from the New York Nea1s
that a movement not laid down in Har-
dee or the Zouave Tactics, was performed
on Monday afternoon by Company G of
Fire Zouaves. Company G is composed
mainly of Engine Company No. Is, and
includes in its ranks men of the stamp OF
Harry and Johnny Lazrus, Mike Trainor
and others of that ilk. As the Company
was drawn up in line, and undergoing the
process of being put through the motions
by Col. Ellsworth, at the State Arsenal,
an excited invidual rushed up stairs and
vociferated in tones of thunder. ID
"Company 9, this way one of your men
is getting licked"
The company Immediately broke ranks
and charged down stairs, when street fight
was the natural, and almost sure result.
Ellsworth shouted, "Where are you going
boys" and the response was, "we are GO
ing to see one Of our crowd through, wait
till we get back" Having vanquished the
enemy, the company returned triumphant,
with honorable sears on their heads and
faces. The festive Lazarus was, we believe
the person most injured, his skull having
run violently against policeman's club.
We doubt not Company G will display
the same valor against the enemy that they
have shown in defense of "oue of de boys"
The Company now numbers l6s men, and
will probably be increased to two hundred.
Wednesday at 8 o'clock 1850 men had
been rolled in Col. Ellsworth's Regiment
of Firemen Zouaves, consequently $50
will not be received, and he is limited to
1000 men. The Col. stated to the
overplus that if the citizens would equip
them, he would organize second regiment
from the fire department. Cannot a por-
tion Of the sl,OoO,Ooo appropriated by
the Common Council be applied for this
purpose? t.. -. .-I

whitewash for STABLES.

Mr.. Whitewash should always be appoin-
ted Chairman of the General House Clean
ing Committee. His qualifications for fill
ing this situation are uuquestionably great.
His sanitary influence is undoubted, and
he imparts an air of cleanliness and cheer
fulness wherever he appears. The best
way to initiate him into his situation is as
follows: "Take clean, water-tight barrel
or other suitable cask, and put into it halt
a bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring wa
ter over, boiling hot, and in sufficient guam
tity to cover it five inches deep, aud stir it
briskly until thoroughly Stacked. When
the lime has been Stacked, dissolve it in wa
ter, aud add two pounds ofsulphate Of zinc,
and one of common salt. These will cause
the wash to harden, and prevent its crack
ing, which gives an unseemly appearance
to the work. If desirable, a beautiful
cream color may be communicated to the
above wash, by adding three pounds Of
yellow ochre, or good pearl or lead color
BY the addition Of lamp, vine or ivory black.
For fawn color add four pounds of umbor
Turkish and American-th latter is the
cheaper-one pound Of red, and one pound
Of common lampblack. For common stone
color, add four pounds Of raw lumber, and
two pounds lampblack. When applied to
the outside Of outhouses and TO fences it is
rendered more durable by adding sweet
milk, or some mucillage from flaxceed !;
about pint to the gallon will suffice" All
stables should be whitewashed once or
twice every year, as the increaced white
light which il reflects tends to promote the
health of animals. Hand round this in
formation to every man who owns q horse
or COW, because for one stable whitewashed
there is hundred on the walls Of which
no brush was ever lsid.-[scisntifc Amer

Henry Ward Beecher on his
Travels.

Rev. II. w. Beecher has been travelling
for two weeks, and relates the following,
among other incidents which he found:
While he was in Indiana, an old man,
80 years ofage, who had fought in 1912,
and In Indian wars, came to Camp Nor
ton, and insisted upon going with the vol.
uuteers "to show the young men bow to
fight" Another, 65 years old, with hair
and flowing beard white as snow, implored
permission to join, but being refused, went
to BARRIERS, had his beard chopped, and
his hair and beard Dyed, ard again applied
for admission. Not being detected be was
received, and being asked bis age, replied
"rising 35r' A man on horse back
watching the camp, said to the crowd near
him, 'If could only dispose of my wife
and children, I'd 60 in minute" A man
who knew him stepped up and said, an

cried the other, and with one bound was
in the camp, and volunteer. A party of
young men rode several miles, 1--WE forgot
how many to enlist, and went to the Gov

times, saying be could take nc more. At
last they surrounded his door, and told him
they would stand there until he .oould take
them into tie army. The Governor had to

-Four hundred Kentuckians crossed over
almost in body, and enlisted for the Stars
and Stripes. They could not get chance
to serve the good cause at home; and were
determined to find way TO fight for the
Union. A planter in Tennessee sent four
of his sons for the same purpose. (Those

One poor fellow from Kentucky came
alone and enlisted at Madison. A crowd
of friends were shaking hands with other
volunteers whom they knew, but he, being
stranger, remained unnoticed. He burst
into tears and exclaimed, "There's no one
to bid God bless mep Instantly a hun
dred men rushed at him and bore him up
in their arms, while the whole multitude
shouted forth their blessings upon the no.
ble-hearted patriot.
Mr.. Beecher said that he might multi
ply Instances all night. The most delicate
seemed most heroic. He had asked a
young lady, apparently fragile and shrink
ing, whether any of her three brothers
were going. She lit up like fire" Every
one of them" I'd have them shot if lLey
didn't! It's all man is good for nowp
was her vehement reply.

The Loss OF LIFE IN FoRr MoULrRIE.
"A correspondent of the Buffalo Courier
writes to that paper as follows:
l had the pleasure of seeing letter writ
ten by Ashel Brocket, one of the SO ldiers
of Fort Moultrie. He was in that fortress
while the bombardmant of Fort Sumter was
going on. His account differs materially
from that of the chevaliers. There were
forty men in the fort killed and one hunered
wounded. He says "when we heard gun
at Sumter we knew what was coming and
sure enough, in about minute, one Of Ma,
jor's compliments would come into the fort
and raise a considerable muss. Men would
be sent up in the air by one of his shells to
see how things looked outside, but when
they came down they could not see at all.
It was hot work, and the Major made every
gun tell. Mr.. Brocket was among the
wounded.

Mys~HEApAcHE is the favorite sign by which ma
ture makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
light it may be looked on safeguard intended
to give notice Of disease which might otherwise
cape attention till too late to be remedied and its
indications should never be neglected. Headache
may be classified under two names. viz :-Sympto-
matte and ldiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is
exceedingly common and is the precursor OF a
great variety Of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout Rheumatism and all febrile diseases.
In it's nervous form it is sympathetic of disc lse OF
the stomach, constituting sick headache, or hepat-
c disease constituting bilious headache, of worms,
constipation and other disorders of the bowels,
well asre al and uterine affections. Diseases of the
heart are very frequently attended with Head
aches; Anemia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache. ldiopat hic
Headache is also very common, being usually dis-
tinguished by the name of nervous headache, some
times coming suddenly in a state ct apparently
sound health and prostrating at once the mental
and physical energies and in other instances it
comes on slowly, heralded bv depression Of spirits
or ascersity of temper. In most instances the pain
is in the front of the head, or both eyes,
and sometimes provoking vomiting; under this class
may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache the
Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and safe
remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few
minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the
disease of which headache is the unerring index.
