Economy OF Some Army Cooks.

In recent letter describing the scenes
witnessed in the camps around Washington,
is this paragraph, showing that there are
some exceptions to the general waste that,
almost of necessity, characterizcs war op-
erations:
One thing which appeared rather odd
amid the extravaganza of an army, was the
care with which the men, VINO acted as
cooks, preserved the contents of their drip
ping-pans. Not particle of grease was
allowed to be wasted. All tins economy
was caused by the daily journeys of indcfa
tigable soap-fat men across the river and
through the camps. Each one had an old
horse and a cart load of greasy casks, and
was protected by pass from the Secretary
of War. Rather good prices were given
for the articles collected. The tariff and
taxes have both seriously affected the soap
and candle trade, and, of course, every el-
fort is made to procure the raw material
as cheaply as possible.
Another evidence of the ways rcsorted to
to make money, is found in the extensive
business carried on by bone-boiling es-
tablishment located on tho river bank. The
proprietor has his bone collectors all through
the army, and they bring the articles there
10 lie ground and boiled. A vast profit is
reapcd, not only from The sale of the man
ure produced, but also from the horns Of
the cattle and the large bones, which are
carefully assorted from the others, for
manufacture into knife-handles, &c.

TOO slender FUN to satisfy the expectations of a
benefit night Accordingly, some days before
the memorable evening, there appeared in all the
Berlin papers an advertisement to the following
effect:
"A gentleman, who has a neicc and ward pos

Hundreds and hundreds of letters poured in in
reply to this advertisement. On the morning OF

The Washington Star learns that bonds

The Washington Star learns that bonds Of
the Confederate government have been secretly
sold in Baltimore at 10 cents on the dollar or
$1,000 dollar bonds for $3.50, payable in Balti-
more or United States currency. We suppose
the believers quietly buy and lay them away,
expecting if they succeed they will turn out
good investment; if not, they will pocket the
loss and light their cigars with them. 1t will
be awkward if sellers and buyers find them
selves in Fort Mcllenry or Lafayette.
