CELEBRATED Authors. Steele wrote eN-
cellcntly on tcmpcrance--when sober Sal
lust, who dcclaimcd so eloquently against
the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the age, was himself
habitual debauchec. Johnson's essay on
politcncss is admirable but he was himself
perfect boor. The gloomy verses of Young
give one the blues, but he was brisk lively
man. The comforts Of Human Life" by
b. Heron, was written in prison, under the
most distressing circumstances. "The Mis-
cries of Human Life" by Berestord, We're,
ON the contrary composed in drawing
room, where the author was surrounded by
every luxury. All the friends Of Steme
knew him to DC Il selfish man; yet as a
writer, he cNcclled in pathos and charity, at
one time beating his wife, at another wasting
his SympathicS over 4 dead monkey So
Seneca wrote in praise of poverty on Il table
formed Of solid gold, with millions let out

~" To PRESERVE CIDER.-Thc follow
ing receipt has been tested by us, and found
it to be excellent. One thing, however, is
requisite to make good cider, and that is to
make it Of good sound apples, free from dirt
decay and other impurities, and the pomice
ought not to be pressed for 24 hours after it
is ground. Sugar may be dispensed with if
desired, but it adds to its keeping quail
ties:
"Whcn the cider in the barrel is in lively
fermentation. add as much white sugar as
will be equal to a quarter or three-quartcrs
of Il pound to each gallon of cider, accord
ing as the apples are sweet or sour) let the
fermentation proceed until the liquid has
the taste to suit, then add Il quarter of an
ounce of Sulphite of Lime to each gallon Of
cider, shake well and let it stand three days,
and bottle for use The sulphitc should first
be dissolved in quart or SO of the cider
before introducing it into the barrel of
cider

An INCIDENT OF TIE RECENT MILITIA
CAMPAIGN.--At the time our militia were
near the Maryland border, the principal
information upon which their movements
were based, was obtained from a telegraphic
scout, VIM. b. Wilson. This operator with
pocket instrument, made his way from
Chamhcrsburg and HagcrstOwn through the
woods, to point within the encmy's lines.
After obtaining all the facts relative to their
numbers and positions, he made connection
aJ place lew miles distant from Hagrls.
town, and sent dispatches to Governor
Curtin, at the same time transmitting false
messages which he knew would fall into
Rebel hands. These false statements greatly
exaggerated our forces, and led the enemy
to believe that if they advanced they would
encounter an enormous body of troops.
The operator was almost without sleep for
seven days and nights, and maintained his
position in the face Of much danger. His
career during the entire war has been an
cycnttul one. In 1860 he was stationed in
South Carolina and remained there until
the Secession fever became so strong that no
man Of Union sentiments could live in the
State. He then became chief operator in
the War Department at Washington, rCcei-
wing the first news Of the defeat ut Bull Run,
and communicating it to the President and
Cabinet, and finally entered into the service
OF the State OF Pennsylvania as a telcgraphic
scout.

A GIGANTIC PETRIFTED TREE.-One Of
the most astonishing trees of which the
annals of the world furnish any account, is
found lying on the ground near Honey Lake,
on Il slope of the Sierra Mountains, in Cali
fornia. 1t is petrifed cedar tree, having
Il diameter of forty feet at the butt, or a
circumference of one hundred and thirty
feet, and is six hundred and sixty feet in
length to the point; where its diameter is
four feet The remaining portion of this
monster tree is covered with sand, and has,
therefore never been measured in its entire
length; but if it maintains its symmetrical
proportions to the top, as it probably does,
forty or fifty feet of it must he hidden in the
earth-thus making its entire length more
than seven hundred feet

In July last, about two weeks after the
funeral of the Hon. Charles w. Higgins,
which was on the Fourth of July, John p.
Hobart, late Sheriff of Schuylkill County,
and his wife were at Sunbury, and while
there, called upon Mrs. Donnel, the widow
of the late Judge Donsel, of Sunbury, and
the sister of Judge Higgins, on visit of
friendship. In the course of conversation
Mrs. Donnel said, "Mr. Hobart, you know

Pottsyillc, 9th September, 1862.

In the latter part of summer or Fall of
1861, Francis W. Hughes, of pottsville,
came into the Office of William b. Wells, an
attorney at law Of the same place, and who
had been. from the year 1850 to the year
1854, the law partner of Hughes.
Lloyd's Railroad map, showing the States
was hanging against the wall, in the Office
open. Hughes pointed to the map with his
cane, and explained to Wells what he,
Hughes. thought would be the result of this
Rebellion, that the Western States would
eventually join the south, a. their interests
lay with them: that the New England
States, together with New York, Pcnnsyl-
vania. New Jersey, and he may have inclu-
dcd Ohio, Ollie would be all that would re
main of these United States, and that they
would have to bear all the expense or bur
then of this war; that that would be, rs he
thought, the result of this Rebellion. And
the disgrace of rcpudiatiOn would finally be
the result, That he, Hughes, did not want

Wells said, Hughes you come to thA
conclusions upon the basis that this Rebei-

that this Rebellion could and would be put
down. lie said, "Of course then | should
come to quite Il different conclusion;' = but
said, at the same time, that nc believed il

that he firmly believed that it could and

that he wished he could see or believed as
Wells did but he could not or would not
The foregoing was read by Wells, and he
says it is correct. lie says Hughes gave
reasons for his belief; the chief of
which was the bad feeling between the
North and South, relating to the negro.
Hughes justified holding the negro in sla-
