Alternating incident.

We heard of an incident yesterday which
should make some of our rich men blush who
are subscribing their paltry fves and tens to
the recruiting funds of their several localities
It was this:
A few days since subscriptions were set on
foot ia Orleans county. A farmer of moder-
ate means contributed $50 and COW. Every
one conceded that this was liberal, but il oc-
Cured to q friend that the COW might be turned
to excellent account. Lots were to be cast for
her, and 2O5 tickets, at one dollar each were
distributed and paid for. This, practically,
brought up the farmers subscription to $255.
But the COW was destined to do still better.
The winner put her up at auction, and $40
was added to the fund-making the aggre-
gate $2s5. But it was deemed pity that a
cow so thoroughly patriotic should be sold SO
cheap; and SIS more were added to the
purchase money-making the cows aggregate
contribution to the fund $3.50, besides the $50
from her original owner.
There are great many rich men all over
the country who will not do half as much for
the war as this cowl-Al6dny Journal:

Curtos Mirror,

Among the curiosities exhibited ct the last
Paris Exposition, was huge concsve mirror,
the instrument of q startling species of optical
magic. On standing close to the mirror, and
looking into it, it presents nothing but mag
nifcently monstrous dissection of your own
physiognomy. On retiring a little, say a
couple of feet, it gives your own face and
figure in true proportion but reversed, the
head downwards. Most of the spectators, ig-
norant of anything else, observe the two eff
fects and pass on. But retire still further ;
standing ut the distance of FIVE or six feet
from the mirror, and behold, you see yourself,
not reflection, it does not strike you as q
reflection, but your veritable self, standing
in the middle part between you and the mir
ror. The effect is almost, from the idea it sug-
gests of something supernatural, 80 startling.
in fact the men of the strongest nerves will
shrink involuntarily at the first view If you
rise your cane to thrust at your ether self,
you win see it pass clean through your body
and appear on the other side, the figure thrust
ing ut you the same instant.
The artist who first succeeded in fashoning
mirror of this description, brought it to one
of the French Kings--if we recollect it srght,
it was Louis XV-placed his Majesty on the
right spot, and bade him draw his sword and
thrust at the figure he saw. The King did so;
but seeing the point of sword directed to his
away. The practical joke cost the inventor
the Kings patronage and favor; his Majesty
being afterwards so ashamed of his own cow
ardice, that he could never again look at the
mirror or its owner. 5zsa ssa

THE TROUBLE ABOUT PROTECTION PAPERS.
The applicants for protection papers at the
British Consups Office were on Saturday few
and wary. A crowd was, however, At hand,
and severe chastisement was administered in
several instances. Among others came Arthur
Thirteenth and Olive streets, who says he has
lived FIVE years in this country and intends to
remain during his life. On being asked if he
came for protection papers he replied affirma-
lively, and was precipitated down the steps to
the crowd who chased and perhaps would
have seriously injured him had not two of the
Provost Guard took him in custody. They
conducted him to the Provost Marshal Gen
erals Office, whence he was soon afterward se-
cured and secrsted to be enabled to leave the
premises in safety. Mr. Hogg had just recov-
cred from typhoid fever, and feared that as
sooD Is his strength returned he would be
forced to serve as soldier.-St. Louis Dem.

The Providence (Rhode Island) Journal
publishes letter from General Bishop Leoni-
das Polk, from which we make the subjoined
extracts. The letter is dated Columbus, KY,
January 2e, 1862:
Well may you say that true hearts would
join hands with England rather than ever
again live with our bitterest, inhuman enemies
Yes bless God, Old England shall have us, she
i0'A have US. and with twelve millions OF
"Amens," long before we will be again subject
to tssidet P'trttGss ratonalists and ravishers of
our wives and mothers, daughters and sisters
Free government in the Northern States
never was understood, never was appreciated,
existed only by consent for time II ended
the day armed vessels were fitted to kill inno-
cent people, unless they longer submit TO the
yoke, and burdened with $500, 900, 900 per an
mum, and be slandered in public halls by pub
lie speakers.
The Puritan infdels succeeded for time,
but went under afterward, Truth, Catholic
God, reversed their course-so He viii again.
The Puritan esement is the enemy TO God, is
the enemy to Christ the enemy to truth, TO or
der, to obedience, and therefore to free Just
and equitable government. None so blind as
he who will not see.
Black slavery Is nothing, and tchite Sldvery is
nothing; all sink In view of the present war
The cause is q thousand years old; meantime,
look to your United States Government.
When the South is safely anchored in an EMo-

you miserable sinner before GodP MAY God

WHAT is HONOR, WHAT is FAME,


DA va ACAs
What is pride or life or stationi
What Is honor, what is fRmel
What Is all the sounding nothipgs
That encompass q great name!
Can they blunt great sOrrowg
Can they dull the edge Of painl
Can they stifie thoughts of sadness,
Or fieetihg joy retain 7
Do they make US better, wiser,
Humber, or more meekly mild,
Or enable US to conquer
Passions running madly wildf
Do they leave us nobler beings,
With exalted aims in view
With rebellio1s thoughts in bondsge,
With impulses ever true!
No J they are like moekiug shadows,
Pride Of life, with honor, fame,
With no subsistence bat deIusion,
And an empty, shallow name.
Still the weary soul will hunger
For an end IL may attain,

Than the morta's meed Of fame.
Still the mind will grasp at something
That 10 iuminously near,
Intangible, yet palpable,
With trembling awe and fear.
And that something can content it,
Can becalm the aching breast,
That all human fame and glory
Only fills with dark unrest.
For that something Is the spirit
OF the Maker of the soul,
Passing DER the tnrbid waters,
And assuming their control.
Let us lean upon this spirit,
So omnipotently kind,
And the heart will cease to hunger,
And eontentment fill the mind

a Good Proposition.
Editors CHICAGO Tribune

Would it not be advisable to enlist two reg
iments of men over the age of forty-flve, to
take charge Of Camp Douglas, and LET the sol
diers who are there, now go TO the war ? And,
as an additional inducement to volunteering,
let the Board of Trade appoint the suffers for
Camp Douglas" and the profits be appro-
priated to the support Of the volunteers. ~
There are many good and able-bodied men
who are over 45 years of age, who are anxious
and willing to serve their country. Now is
their time. Our country needs the services of
all her sons. Let all who are able, in any
way, to serve her, step forward.
This would not only assist Chicago In
speedily raising her quota of the new levy,
but the immense profits made by the suffers
win materially aid the families Of the volun-
teers. CETIzKN.
