g b9~ALL FOOLS DAY.-Other days il

their own. IfyOu pause on a saints

It is great company that throng before
the mind, in wealth and rags, in place and

ject, old as we'll as young, the fair as well
as the robust. The youngster who gets a
PlaCard pinned to his back, is not the on
" one who goes among his fellows plainly
labelled "fool.' That wild Spectator
and that reckless debauchee; that proud
spendthrift, and that boarding miser; that
canting hypocrite, aud that foul-moutbed
kuave; that false courtesan, and that too
conidiug maid; this one iu one respect,
and that one in another writes himself
down as one OF the guild TO whom this
day is set apart. Folly has wide sway,
and it is easier to say who are fools than
to aver who are not. In short, gentle read.
err, we are all fools-the whole iunumera-
BILE caravan of shadows pursuing shadows.
For the origin of April Fools Day, we
refer the reader to the Tenth Chapter,
18th verse, of the First Epistle of Paul the
Apostle 10 the Thcssalonians.

BS~EsCAPE OF REBEL PRIsoNERs.-On
Sunday night, George Dusky and Josiah
Parsons, two rebel prisoners, escaped from
the sprigg House Hospital, where they had
been recently sent to be treated for real or
feigned illness. Dusky is a devilish, de-
tiant rebel, and never ought to have been
permitted to escape. They climbed out of
window of the Hospital building upon
the roof of an adjoining house, and it is
believed that they were assisted to the
grouud by sympathizers who had been
permitted to communicate with them. At
ter the escape was discovered, guards were
placed upon the corners of the streets and
alleys all over the city, but the ,ebelswere
no doubt well concealed until advised by
sympathizers of the proper time to ska
daddle.
George Deering, the daring rebel who
escaped from the Atheueum on Saturday
night, has shown himself to be very en-
terprising young man. The prisoners are
in the second story of the building. Deer
ing get to work under his bed, and with
common case knife improvised into saw,
cut whole through the floor. He then
let himself down to the ground floor of the
basement, and with the assistance of
shovel, dug hole under the securely fas-
tened door opening upon Market street,
and thus made his escape. The hole is
small one, and must have afforded him a
pretty tight squeeze. There was no guard
upon the outside, as there should have
been, and this fact was of course well
known to the prisoners. Deeriug was
confined for aiding and assisting the reb-
els by carrying letters to and fro through
our lines and acting as spy.

Coriiith, Mississippi.

AS this place is probably destined to
become the theatre OF great events. we Law
before our readers all the information as
regards its situation, etc, we possess. The
village of Corinth was formerly called
Pennington, and is so mentioned in the
gazetteers. 1t is post village Of Tishe-
mingo county, distant 262 miles norteast
from Sackson, the capital Of the State
There are but three or four stores in the
village, and Of course its population must
be relatively small.
Tishemingo county forms the north
eastern extremity of Mississippi, bordering
on Tennessee and Alabama, and has an
area of about fourteen hundred square
miles The TombIgbee river rises in lilo
county; the Tennessee hops along the
northeast border, and it is drained 10y
Tecumbia creek
The surface is diversified by small hills;
the soil is fertile, especially il the valleys,
and generally has a substratum Of sand
A large part of tie county is covered with
forests Of oak, hickory, walnut and pine.
The head streams OF the Tombigbee fur
nish valuable motive power. The route
Of the Mobile and Ohio railroad imtersects
the Charleston railroad at .Iacinto. the
capital. The county was organized in
1896. The population in 1850 amounted
TO 1880 of which l3, j29 were free, and
,96l slaves.

Bread from Healed Wheat.

Wheat which has been exposed to
moisture and fermeuting tcmperature
and has become heated, has always been
considered completely ruined for making
bread. II il j dried and converted into
-four, and subjected 10 fermentation, tho
dough will not rise, and If baked, il will
not make spongy, light bread The cause
OF this Is the conversion of the gluten in,
the wheat, 10y lis terminating action, from
an lnsoluble into a soluble substance and
the consequent destruction OF its elasticl
Some new light has lately been thrown
upon this subject by Prof Nichels, France,
who has made series Of experiments with
such heated wheat. He states that COM
mon salt possesses the quality Of restoring
the soluble gluten Of terminating wheat
10 !ts oriE!na! elastic condition, and that
good bread may be made from it by add
Ing ounces Of salt to every IL lis OF -four
This information, if entirely reliable is OF
great Importance, because thousands land
perhaps miiiions} Of bushels Of wheat are
annually injured by water and heating,
when transported in bulk on our lakes
and canals. Such wheat sells in New
York and other places for very few
cents per bu>h=!. 1t Is chiefly used Tor
making starch.
