The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusually inter. esting during the forthcoming year. They will occupy middle ground between the bastily written news-items, crude speculaticns, and fly ing rumors of the daily Journal, and the pom derous Tome of the future historian, written af- ter the living interest and excitement ot the great political events of the time shall have passed away. It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only intelligible and reliable history of current events, and as such, in addition to their well-estadlished literary, scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading pub lie.

Aa apANgrRoUs BALL OF YAHN,

A numbsr of years since, the country wa covered with counterfeit bills cn various banks, and all attempts to detect the parties who man. ufactured or uttered them, were rendered abef- tive by the cunning of the operators Detec' tiyes had puzzled their brains to nc purpose: They c0said ebtain no clue to the mystery, and acknowledged to their chiefs that they were "dsad beat" About this time the deputy cniet of the Boston police received infefmstfoH which caused him te arrest fashionsbly dressed slady at the Boston and Maine depot. He had per manly manner, but still he did not escape words of scorn and abuse, and numerous threats of prosecution for damages This the officer sub Initted to in silence, for he was not sure but he had made, . mistake. However, the object which he had in view justified him in incurring some risks, and entering carriage the deputy and lady were driven to the City Hall, and the lady was escorted into tho private room.
 "Now," said the lady, taking ont her crotch sting and . large ball of yarn, please tell me why am brought here ?"
 She was quits cool and resoluts and made hel fingers fly without dropping stitch. The dep utY watched her motions with some misgivings but he did not manifest them.
 Madam" hs said, . have arrested you be- eause I suspect that you are engaged in utter MS COuutefEelL money.
 The lady looked at the speaker with an ex- pression of scorn and indignation.
 "You shall smart for this, she said.
 < Reveal to me the whole plot, and I'll stand your friend" the deputy said.
 The lady smiled scornfully, but just at that mo- ment the huge ball of yarn dropped from herlap and fell at the feet of the deputy. He picked it up and was about to return it to the owner, but noting the eager manner in which she stretched cut her hand to receive it, hs paused and retain sd possession of the yarn.
 Give me the yarn,' she cried.
 'Ons moment and the deputy commenced to slowly unwind it.
 The lady turned deadly pale, but did not speak enc word, but sat there and watched the ball grow smaller, until at last the yarn was all un- wound and the deputy held in his hand mass of stiff, cripsy paper, which he proceeded to smooth out, and, as his eyes sought the womans face he smiled, but she did not return it.
 Do you always carry your money covered with yarn?' asked the deputy.
 The lady did not answer him. She uttered sigh and the next moment fell into the officers Gs-as. The scene was too much for her nerves. sns had tainted. She was soon restored, and then the deputy continued his examination and found that he was the possessor of one thousand dollars in counterfeit bank bills. Then the wo man at once confessed all. A gang of men were at work in Canada, and had their emissaries in ali the New England States. Through the latter the bills were circulated, and most of them were supplied by the prisoner. She purchased her pardon by her confession, and through that con- fession the gang were arrested and sentenced.- So much for ball of yarn-A'nerican Union.

SnAD.-The shad catch has been more abund ant this year than ever before. On Thursday night, May 18th, the Saybrook fishermen alone caught 25,o00 and stopped when they did only to assist in dressing and curing those already caught, to save them from spelling. Similar luck attends the fishery all along up the Connec. ticut. At Springfield they have all they want and more too. At Holyoke, on Saturday, ASA were caught at the first haul of the seine, 200 at at the second and more than 100 at the third.- The late favorable rise in the river is said to be the cause of this unprecedented supply of shad, a large catch being always predicted under such circumstances.

Some curious condolences of capture and re- capture recently occurred in Kentucky. A par ty of bushwhackers rescued couple of rebel prisoners who were being tried for treason at Mount Sterling. When they had advanced a short distance beyond Hazls Green, they were evertaksn by a detachment of the Home Guard, and the whole party captured. On their route back to Mount Sterling the Unionists and their prisoners were met by another and 6 larger squad of rebels, who tosk the party and started on to- wards Pound Gap, but had not proceeded far without resistance, took and conveyed them forty in number-to Lexington, where they now are.

from its attacks, nor is there one which il may

caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis

and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncreal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con.
stitution, descending /" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation /" indeed,
il seems to be the rod Of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrup; or ulccrous matter, which, i,i
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrclcs; in the glands, swcllings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul Coz
