rEsEsc yyffe's Nfshtcap.

Mr.. who does not live more
than mile from the post Office in New
Orleans, met some northern friends with
southern principles one evening, and in
extending to them the Inequalities Of the
city, visited so many Of the prncely sa-
looms and marble halls, imbibing spiritual
consolation as they journeyed, that when
he left them at their hotel at the midnight
hour, he felt, decidedly felt, that he had
brick in bis hat. Now, he has wife,
an amiable. accomplished, and beautiful
lady, who loves him devotedly, and fluids
but one fault with him. That is, his too
frequent visits to the palaces where these
bricks are obtained.
After leaving his friends, Mr..
paused a moment, took his bearings, ana
having shaped course, on the principle
that continual angles meet, made sail for
home. In due course of time he arrived
there, and was not very much astonished,
but rather frightened, to find his worthy
lady sitting up for him. She always
does She smiled when he came H.
That also she always does.
"How are you dear E---? said
he, you staid out SO late, that | feared
YOU had taken sick"
IS ick-aint sick, wife; b-but don't
yon think I'm little tightl"
A very little perhaps my dear; but
that is nothing-you have SO many
friends as you say, you must join them
in glass once in a while! -"
"Wife, you're too good; th the fact
is, I'm ID drunk" rr
"Oh no, indeed, my dear; I'm sure
that even another glass wouldn't hurt
you. Now suppose you take glass of
Scotch ale with me, just as q nightcap,
dear"
"You are too kind, my dear, BY half;
| know I'm drunk"
ooh no; only ajulep too much, love,
that's ALL"
Eyes, julops-McMastors makes such
stiff 'uns.'
"Wen, take a glass Of ale at any rate;
it can't hurt you, dear, and / want one

there was not water enough in the tub
to cover them. The husband began to
feel sick, and he wanted to retire.

He began to understand why the tub

he rose from that chair the brick had
left his bat. It hasn't been there since.

SENSATION IN A SHOWER OF SHELLS.
A private Of a New York regiment thus
describes the suspense experienced bv
the soldier during shower of shells: 81
don't think am one of the skcery' kind
but I never before IN my life but once
land that was in Mexico, st"nling two
hours under the fire of battery without
replying,) was I in such position. I've
stood, when in battle, and seen the flash,
and experienced the suspense of learning
where the shot struck, or the shell cx-
ploded, but then 1 had the consciousness
Of somebody on our side doing some
good. But to lie in scooped out hole,
in the shape like q grave hear that iney-
liable down. the report, the kissing,
the thug in the sand-what a crowd of
inquiries burden the mind at that in
slant. Has the fuse been knocked out?
has the shell bounded in the air? or is it
slowly burning within a rod Of your head I!
The culprit upon the scaffold with one
chance in thousand of reprieye, and
yet troading the fatal DROP, could not
feel worse. Nor is ones danger past
until every fragment Of the exploding
shell has lost its momentum"

GREAT REJOICING OVER SIGEL's Ap.
Po1STMENr.-The correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, writing from the
corps lately commanded by Gen. FIRE.
mont, says
When the order Of the President
came, this afternoon, assigning Gen. ST.
gel 10 the command, It was quietly but
rapidly circulated through MI the camps.
Gen. Schonck, it is understood, will re-
main and serve under him. Milrov is
especially gratificd az the result. I can
not attempt to describe the demonstra-
tons Of the. German brigadcs. 1t was
not noisy, and, therefore, not unnilltary.
But it was .the quiet long, deep respira-
ton that men take after they have been
standing with bated breath; when the
touch and go of expectation has held
muscles on tension and sinews on strain
for hours. The feeling is, with every
one that | have met, that the loss OF the
skill, experience and ability of Sigel to
this army would have been irreparable at
this time; irreparable, also, from the vast
popularity and influence he enjoys among
the rank and file of the army. The sol
diers are deeply impressed with tho idea
that under his lead they will not be use
Iessly exposed 70 death that they viii
be ably handled in the face of an enemy,
and that when ordered to charge they
will be ableto accomplish whatever is de-
sired.

AN ENGusHMAE's OPINION OF PREs-
IDENT LINcoLN.-Tho London Times
correspondent in New York gives the
following appreciative estimate of Presi-
dent Lincoln
"There can be no doubt that the
President is the most popular man in the
United States. Without education or
marked ability, without the personal adj
vantage of q fine presence or courteous
manners, and placed unexpectedly in a
position of unparalleled difficulty and
danger, he has so conducted himself amid
the storm Of passion that RACES around
him as to have won the good opinion of
every body. There is not a journal in
the country that speaks Of him except
with high respect; there is not soldier
in the field who does not love and honor
him; there is not man in private life,
whatever may be bis political opinions or
his views upon the origin, conduct or pro-
gress Of the war, who does not cheerful
ly admit that Mr.. Lincoln has shown
himself equal TO his work, and rescued
the presidential office from the contempt
into which 1t was FALLING. The explana-
ton is to be found in his manly common
sense, and his unqucstionable honesty
Two other traits in Mr.. LincoIn's charac-
ter are his good nature and his pluck,
equal to that of Lord Palmerston, in
backing his friends, of both Of which his
message to Congress generating his min
listers, and especially Mr.. Simon Came
ron, from all blame for any error or ille-
gaity of which they may be guilty, and
assuming the whole responsibility of ev-
cry one of their acts, is very remarka-
bic proof"

HARD WIND.-The Western States
have been visited with numerous hurri-
canes of late years, sometimes demolish-
inc entire villages, leveling forests, and
doing immense damages generally. The
town of NJ, in Iowa, was once Wis
tied with one Of these squalls, and among
other antics performed on that occasion
was the following, which l tell as it was
told to me; and the reader can attach
any degree of crcdonce to 1t that he
deems proper

monsiors; and it was subjected to the
force Of Tie wind. lis powers Of resistance
were insufficient to withstand SO great a
pressure, and it yielded TO the point with
out struggle; however, it was not
upset or torn to pieces, but merely NOV
Cd 4 few rods. In the course Of its Jour
ncv, tie stove was upset and the fire
spilled out, and the danger Of confia-
grafton was imminent. Old Peter WAS
too much excited to take notice Of the
removal of his house; and seeing the
necessity of Immediately applying water
to the burning embers on the floor, be
seized bucket, and darted out behind
the house, when great was his astonish-
ment to find all traces of his well obIitof-
ated. After looking in blank amazoment
a moment, he called out to his wife:

Fireworks ON LARGE SCALE.-The
following method of destruction ammu-
milton and stores was adopted by our ar
my on abandoning Savage's Station on
Saturday, the 28th ult.
The locomotive " Speedwell" was link
ed to twelve cars filed with ordnance
stores and ammunition, and, true to her
name, was soon on the way to the Chick
ahominy Bridge, with two hundred lbs
Of steam on the valve and the water be-
low the lowest guage. The train was
arranged with fuses, 50 as to explode up
on reaching the bridge, and, without a
living soul on board, she sped on her
mighty GRAND. In few minutes an ex-
plosion was heard that shook the earth
for miles, and, as the huge volume of
smoke rolled away, a load was lifted off
the hearts Of all that SO much valuable
ammunition as we had accumulated
there could not be turned against our
selves.

THE BREATrrNa OF TREEs- How TO
RESTORE HEALTH TO THE BLOOD
A few years ago, if il. had been asserted
that trees had lungs and breathed, the
idea would have been scented; yetH IS
true. The leaves of trees and plants alb
stract the vital air or oxygen from The at
mosphere, and aerate the sap pretty
much in the same way that the lungs OF
animals aerate the blood. Upon the
condition of this fluid, 1--WE mean the
blood, J the health of the system through
which it circulates absolutely depends
The lungs cannot purify il from the seeds
Of disease. Indeed, if they exist 10 i,
the lungs themselves will be in q mofbid
state These things were well understood
by DIR. Holloway, when, quarter Of
century ago, he gave to the world his
Pills aud Ointment, now 50 celebrated IN
every region of the earth. His design
was 10 penetrate to the sources Of all IN
terral and external disease in the circna-
ton, and it would seem that his prepare
tons accomplish this object with singular
rapidly and correctness. Hence the
uniformity of these cures, we presume.
They seem to produce precisely the same
salutary effects in all cases, in all climates,
and under every variety Of circumstances
"A strong proof that they operate upon
the causes rather than the consequences
Of disease. Be this rs It may, the fact is
undisputed that the Pills and Ointment
have become the great popular medicine
of all countries, because Of their intrinsic
excellence. In diseases Of the organs Of
respiration, so common in this country, as
also in every species Of every eruptiye
and ulcerous disorder, the Ointment
works wonders; while for dyspepsia, the
pills are stated TO be 4 positive specifc.--

Battle Horrors.

OF Lieutenant Cooper, of the 42d n.
Y. Regiment, in the army before Rich
mond, the following singular incident is
related :
The men were so weary that sleep
ing IN the mire was no hardship He
stretched himself recklessly and slept
heavily. He supposed it was about sun
rise when he was partially Awakened
lie was neither asleep nor awake, but 10
that delightfully."- drowsy condition when
the mind confused is apt to multiply by
twelve and lose its reckoning. Endeay-
oring to turn over he fancied he saw a
hand before him-spectre-like, he tho't,
growing red by degrees. 1t seemed to
him wan, and pale, and blood!ess. The
palm was open towards him, and the TN
gers were syread out stiffly, like fan
lie gazed at it earnestly, reasoning with
obscurity in the feebleness of somnolen-
cv that it must be hideous dream. 1t
did not move, but he could not eyade 1t.
The thought struck him that 1t might be
his own hand benumbed. To assure
himself he raised both his hands and
gazed at them steadily, looked at the 9th
er hand eagerly, and then again at his
own. There were three hands there, IN
dubitabIy. Still he thought there was
some horrible delusion about it. lie
opened his hands, then closed them, then
struck ont with them. The other hand
was fixed and immoyable, but there was
no other man to fit the hand. At last,
when worked into state bordering on
terror, he wildly snatched the trightful
vision-and awoke with dead mans
hand clasped tightly in his own. Cooper
had sunk to sleep upon trench filled
with dead rebels. The heavy rains had
washed away the loose soil, and the
CHASTITY hand and forearm Of dead reb-
81 protruded from the shallow grave"
A correspondent gives The following
pictures of scenes on the battlefield of
Fair Oaks
al witnessed most Lorrid sight yes
terday. 1t was the body of rebel SOL
der, who, wounded. had attempted to es-
cape by wading through one Of the
many swamps that interweaye the battle
field He had penetrated it several rods,
and became mired and unable to eztri-
cate himself, or, perhaps, failing from
loss of blood, and unable to make him
self heard amid the din Of battle, had
thus persisted as he stood. His ghastly
corpse still stood erect, all below the
waist imbedded in the mud-the spectral
sentinel of the swamp. Whit 4 theme
for the negro ghost stories in coming
generations.
1.-TWO or three DAYS after the battle,
while q party of our men were reconnoit-
ering in the woods, they saw two men
standing perfectly still, slightly bending
forward towards each other. On arri-
wing at the SPOT both were found to be
quite dead A rebel and Union soldier
had evidently charged bayonets on each
other, both bayonets entering deep into
the breast, directly in the centre. The
bayonets and ends of the guns were al
most side by side. Their death must
have been almost instantaneous, as there
were no signs of any further struggle or
Of great pain"

ure. The Ara5ia's mail brings the par

the i'll fortune Of the ship by stating that
she was in bad trim; that her bottom
was fouled; that heavy rain was falling

Few pipes have been fitted for conveying
from the main deck to the biIges the leak
age which might enter the ports when
fighting the guns in heavy weather.
Some seventy tons Of brick and mortar
