These articles, or the majority of them, had
risen nearly 30 per cent. since that time. The
bill Of fare served the prisoners at Memphis
was as good as could be expected or desired,
but after leaving there the boys saw but few
of the above articles. These prices, which
were current in Memphis year ago, show
pretty conclusively that the blockade was then
already effectual.

ti1sc Anasrican says if tet tar is applied to
boot soles, it will make them waterproof.
Let it be as hot as the leather will bear with
out injury, applying it with swab and dry
ing it in by fire. The operation may be re-
peated two or three times during the winter,
if necessary. It makes the surface of the
leather quite hard, so that it wears longer, as
well as keeps out the water.

az Some time since, postage stamps
were the sole medium used in making change.
The greatest objection to them was found to
be in the trouble experienced in changing
them. This was partly obviated by the in
PRODUCTION of small envelopes, with the
amount they were supposed to contain printed
on the outside This plan was open to many
objections. They very often contained less
amount than represented, and unless pains
were taken by those who received them to
open each package and count the amount,
they would often find themselves minus
This was nearly, if not quite as much trouble
as the old method, and in the multifarious
landings which they underwent, they were
very likely to become blurred and dirty
This fact was taken advantage of by some
inscriptions persons to palm off upon those
who were not on their guard, old stamps
that had been used, which were cut from
the envelops on which they had been placed.
Since stamps have been in measure super
coded by the use of private checks, they are
coming into use in a new form, by finding
their way into the post office or the backs Of
letters. Of course letters thus paid do not

these stamps that are not available to the
public, and under the peremptory orders of
the Department, must necessarily detain such
letters. People may save trouble and delay
by bearing these facts in mind.

A Million aud a Billion.

We are perpetually hearing of millions, and
of how many millions it will require to do this
or that. We have good idea what million
of dollars will do, but we very much doubt
whether one person in a thousand has a correct
idea of the quantity or number contained in
a million. For instance, if you would ask q
person how long it would take him to put
down million dots with pen upon sheet
of paper, he will generally tell you something
SO far from the fact as to be laughable. Per-
NIT us therefore to say, for we have tried the
experiment more THAI once, that it would
occupy an expert penman about IA days, sup
posing him to work bank hours. (that is six
necessarily, doing nothing but putting dots
on the paper or dipping his pen in the ink.
This will give our readers some idea of the
quantity or number contained in million.
Let any one try it, by laying his watch on
the table, close to the paper, and work for ten
or twenty minutes, then add and multiply.
But what is million compared to q billion
A very short answer will suffice for q very
long story. 1t 10 million times a million.
But who could count it? No man A quick
bank teller can count one hundred and sixty
and seventy minute but let us suppose he
cot ld 90 as far as 200. Then one hour will
produce 70, 900. a day 5ss. 900, and year or
365 days los. l2o,O 900. Let US suppose, now,
that Adam at the beginning of his existence
had begun to count, had continued to do SO,
and was counting still, he would not now, &C
cording to the usually supposed age of our
globe, have counted near enough. For, to
count billion he would require $500 years,
81 days, S hours and 20 minutes. Now sup.
pose we were to allow poor Adam - hours
daily for rest, eating and sleeping, he would
need 1904 years, 60 days, 10 hours and 40
minutes. A4
We believe common water pail would
hold billion grains of sand from the sea
shore. This sand is the debris of rocks ana
stones. Hoy many millions of years, then,
We're these rocks and stones rolling in the
ocean to produce them? What, then, IS the
age Of the globe we inhabit? 1t is as much
beyond human comprehension as is the speed
of comets throu: n Unreasonable space-M-
vestigat0r.

Communicating Everhart, the young
and hardened little rascal of whom mention
was made by us, few days since, as having
stolen sundry articles from Camp Strong, the
present whereabouts Of which he refused to
discover, was sent to Jail yesterday, for a
short time, in hopes Of effecting reforma-
ton.
His is sad case, indeed. Only nine years
old, and bright, promising boy, to have
started out in career of crime at such an
early age gives but a poor prospect of future
career of usefulness. He is hardened little
wretch, and neither threats nor entreaties
could prevail on him to disclose the DISPOSE
ton he had made Of the stolen property. 1t
is to be hoped that his confinement may have
a salutary effect upon him.

THE JOURNAL.

Coon SIGN.-Last week, at the sale Of
lands by our County Treasurer, for delinquent
taxes, the bidding was more spirited than it
has been for q number of years before
There was number of gentlemen in atten
dance from abroad, seeking opportunities for
investment. This is an encouraging sign, as
it is an evidence of the fact that shrewd
capitalists do not consider the possession Of
Iowa lands dead loss to them. Tax payers
will hereafter be obliged to pay up or have
the alternative presented them of loosing
their property altogether, or redeeming it by
the payment of thirty per cent. interest.

RATHER COSTLY AMusEMENT.-Keeping our
prisoners captured by the rebels at the South
must be rather an expensive amusement. The
following figures of the cost of subsisting 100
men in Memphis for twenty days, preserved
by our young friend Ed. HILL one of the Bel
mont prisoners, will be of interest to our
provision dealers. These were the prices one
year ago in one of the chief commercial cities
of the Southwest. What must they be now !?
