VERY NATURAL SURPRISE OF REPORTER.
Yesterday morning one of our vigilant po.
lice officers arrested soldier dressed in the
uniform Of the Federal army, on Atwater St.
in state OF blissful intoxication. He was
conveyed to the lock- up, and placed in one of
the cells. Our reporter happened to be pres
ent, and observing that the soldier appeared
to be in an unconscious state, he feared that
life had become extinct, and, opening the DO.
som OF the apparently inanimate form to see
it there was any appearance of life, the read.
er can judge Of his astonishment on finding
that it was--A sconaan. A few hours after
she awoke from her deep sleep, and gave the
following romantic account Of her wandcrings.
She is native of Scotland, but for many
years lived with her family at London, CIV.
where they now reside. About five years
ago she left home and went to Kentucky,
where, on the breaking out Of the war, she
became enamored with the military display
and enlisted in Kentucky regiment. She
served in the army three months, and she
was present and took part in the battle of
Somerset, and saw Gen. Zollicoffer fall. Dur
ing her term of service she was often ordered
to do extra service, and used frequently to
steal out of camp at nights and fight on her
own hook At last she became tired of the
drudgcry she was called upon to perform,
and made known her sex. She was imme.
diately discharged and arrived in our city on
Thursday night.-Detroit Adcertiser.

What the French Minister Says.

Much curiosity was manifested short
time since, as to the object Of the French Min.
ister's visit to Richmond. The Washington
dispatch Of the 9th inst. to the New York
Times gives the following satisfactory explain
alton: 8gs. =" ,@"
The French Minister went TO Richmond to
assure the rebels that the Emperor Of the
French does not recognize them as a power
among nations; that England and France,
by recognizing them as belligerents, did all
that could be expected on the part of the
neutral governments that the blockade OF
their ports is effcctual that they are fairly
beaten in arms, and their independence as n
nation is impossible; that continuance Of
hostilitics by the threatened destruction Of
the cotton and tobacco crops Of their citizens,
would only be n wanton injury to the com.
merce of the world, injuring France and Eng
land even more than the United States; and
that the resort to guerilla warfare, as propos-
cd, when their armies are destroyed, would
demoralize society, and bc simply return to
barbarism. The rebels have been adnonish-
ed, therefore, that cessation of hostilities is
duty they owe to themselves and to the
world, which all civilized nations, will unite
in requiring of them.

The SPRING TIME.--At length we wake.
some unexpected morning and the blue birds
call is in the tree. We throw up the sash
The sun lies flush on all the landscape There
is smile of soil and leaf in the air. The
poplar buds are fragrant as balm. The air is
warm and moist. The birds are surely hcrc
they answer each other; the sparrow, tho
blue bird, the robin, and afar off on the edges
of the swamp, the harsh twanging notes Of
the blackbird. 1t is spring! It is the time
Of the singing Of the birds! Nobody forgets
the wild thrill Of the heart at the first sound
of birds in the spring.
Oh, with what a sense Of emancipation do
we hear the birds sing again God sends
his choirs to sing over night and death for US.
Winter, that buried all, is herself put away.
Death Is swallowed up in victory, and nature
chants the requiem Of the past and the Joy of
the future. Now, days shal! grow longer and
warmer. Now, industry shall move freely.
Now, flowers shall come up Seed shall be
sowE. Doors and windows shall stand open
all day long. Around the barn the hens
shall cackle and crow. Children shout
Spring has come; and all things rejoice at
their release. No more inhospitablc snow
no more blight and cold All is prom ise.--
Men go forth with seeds, and roots, and
scions. The orchard, and garden, and field
are full of life!
The winter is past, the rain is over and
gone; the flowers appear on the earth the
time of the singing Of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle is heard in our hnd.---

A Kind Act and Its Reward.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer sketches an
incident that lately occurred on one Of the
railroads running through Ohio. The sketch
is interesting, though impersonal
The train is running over the road at
rapid rate. The car is full of well-dresscd
aristocratic passengers. The conductor en-
ters and proceeds to collect the accustomed
fare. Presently he comes to young woman
dressed in deep mourning, travelling with
three children, and calls for her ticket The
lady quickly puts her hand in her pocket for
the same and it is gone, with the wallet con-
tanning all the money within which tho tick
ct had been placed for safe.kccpins. The
lady is Of an exceeding modest retiring dis
position, and in an agitatcd manner explains
the reason why she cannot pay her fare
The conductor is one of your hard hearted
kind-onc OF those men without particle of
gentle feeling-and without taking into con-
sdcration any of the palliating circumstances
in the case, rung the bell, stopped the train,
and the young woman and her little ones
were ordered from the cars, she weeping, al
it is to imagine such person would under
like circumstances. The engineer had not
been an unintcrcstcd spectator of this scene.
He had left the engine and advanced to where
the lady was standing looking so d stressed
and friendless. The engineer had big,
warm heart Putting his had in his pocket
he produced fifty dollar gold piece, and
handed it to the lady, rcmarking .n#
Here, madam, take this and get in the car
again. 1t is shameful You should thus be
| treated. ~
The lady hesitated about receiving It, but
was In desperate strait Showering num-
bcrless thanks upon the noble engineer, and
insisted upon receiving his name and address,
she returned to her seat in the cars, which
went on its way. r
About one month from the time the cngin.
eer received a note requesting him to call Mt
the express Office and take from thence n
package addressed to him. He did so. Up
on opening the pac3agc, he found it to con-
tain fifty dollars and an elegant gold watch,
seals and chain. Upon the inside of the case
was inscribed the Golden Rule, the substance
of which is, do unto others us you wish 9TH
