WARS TuS PRIcE oF.EGGs. .-On Sat-
urday aftssnoon, as the Fakir Of Ava was
whlking down Main street, he met broad
brimmed countryman from the bunker
settlement, with a basket C4eggs under
his arm. The Fakir stopped him, and
looking into his basket, said:
"Those are %eOarkable-l looking eggs
you have, sir: what do you ask for
themP"
1Bit dozen," replied broad blim.
"Let me try aasingle ,one-here'S q
dime for il, said The Fakir.
Taking out his knife, he coolly pro-
ceeded to crack it, when, to the astonish-
ment of the bunker, out rolled dozen
shining half eagles. Placing them in his
pocket, and handing out another dime,
the Fakir remarked:
"Tll try another, if you please, sir"
This, too, he cracked open, with the
same phenomenon of half-eagles.
I'm take all your eggs" said the Fa1
kir, apparently much excited.
mo, you DON'T" said broad brim, who
had Just recovered his speech and spread
ing the folds of his wooden warmus'
over the basket he made tracks down the
street as fast as his burthen. the ampli
tude of his breeches, and his hOb.nailed
shoes would allow him.
He has, doubtless, ascertained by this
time that "eggs is eggs, '..'hOweyer much
appearances may sometimes be against
the fact.

A VENITIAN LOVE SToRY.-A sad story
has plunged Venice into more than its
wonted sorrow. A young Hungarian
noble, in an Austrian regiment, had fallep
violently in love with beautiful Venitian
girl. They met frequently in society.
She returned his passion, told him that
she could never marry another, but that
she could never marry him, anrofficer in
an Austrian regiment, while three Of her
brothers were fighting for Italy. Voinly
did the Hungarian urge his suit, earnestly
did he rntreat a meeting. At last the
fair Venitian wrote to him: Have you
sufficient courage to kill meg Ifyou con-
sent. ! will meet you tonight. But
viii meet you on this condition only, that
you Slay me, but respect me. Should
receive DO reply, shall come, and know
that you have the courage which | expect
from you" The girl went forth that eve.
ming with a boquet of snow-white bios
SONS in her girdle. On the morrow, on
the banks of the lagune, the officer
sword and scabbard were found, raised in
the form of cross, and in the stream be-
low were found the bodies of the two low
ers, closely locked in each others arms.

FASHIONABLE NEGRRssEs.---A recent
traveller thus speaks Of the fashions among
the women of the most aristocratic tribe
in Africa: MANY have their front teeth
notChed, and some file them till they re-
Semble the teeth of saw. The upper-lip
ring of the woman gives them revolving
appearance. 1t IS universally worn in
the highlands. A Apuncture is made high
in the lip, and it is gradually enlarged
until the pecle can be inserted. Some
are very large. Ono we measured caused
the lip 10 project two inches beyond the
tip of the nose. When the lady smiled,
the contraction of the muscles elevated II
over the eyes. why do the women
wear these thingsT the venerable chief.
Chinsurd, was asked. Evidently sur
prised at such a stupid question, he re-
piled, "For beautyA They are the only
beautiful things women have. Men havs
boards women hAye none. What kind
Of q person would she be without . peclef
She would not be . woman ct oil with 8
mouth like man but no beard"

LETTER FROM LEWIS F. BERTHE.
CAMP JEFFERSON. KY., Jan. 5. '62.

Mr.. HARPER:-I embrace this op-
portunity to pen few lines. We have
about $4,000 troops at this place, un-
der command of Gen. Mitchell. They
are all in good spirits. and only waiting
to be led 10 the battle field under their
gallant commander. Reinforcements
are arriving every day, and we expect
soon to advance. The rebels have torn
up the rail track for about ten miles
One Of our men has Just returned from
Green river, and he says the bridge
there will be finished tomorrow. The
rebels have blown up tunnel between
Green river and Bowling Green. which
will check our advance for a short time.
The Ohio boys are all ready and ca
ger for battle, and be assured what
ever may be their part they will act it
nobly. They know their duty. and ere
long they will help to carry the starry
banner over the sunny plains Of the
South, and when our country is once
more united and in peace. the Ohio
boys will return to their homes clus-
tered with laurels.
We have here at present s15 patients
in the hospital. The vet weather has
kept US in our tents for the past two
days. We expect to leave here on the
9th inst. for Green river. No more at
present. Respects to enquiring friends.

WASHINGTON. Jan. II.

The skirmish of Capt. Russell at
Bath, was brilliant affair. He had
been detailed from Gen. Kelley's CON-
mand, with two regiments of infantry
and two squadrons of cavalry, and was
stationed at Bath.
On the approach of Genk Jackson, in
command Of 5000 or 8, ,OGS bells, his
scouts gave him notice. He was six
miles from the Potomac river.
He took the infantry and went about
two miles, and posted them as skirmish-
ers in dense wood. The cavalry was
left to engage the advance of the enc
my.
An exchange of shots was the con-
sequence of the enemy's advance un-
der Turner. Ashley. of guerrilla no.
toriety, came on, and fell into the am
bush. Capt. Russell lost seven horses,
and kept eleven Of the enemy's horses,
and retired with his whole force across
the Potomac with loss of only two
men, who were drowned in crossing
This is considered one Of the most bril-
liant maneuvers in the war.

DIR. L. W. THOMPSON

A NNOUNCES to the sick and unfortunate
~ that he has opened an office at the Furni
ture store of s Hayward d Son, for the recep-
tiOn of patients, and that he is daily making
rapid and permanent cures in all cases, with
out the use of Mercury. By long course OF
study and practical experience, Dr. 7. has
now the qualification of presenting the unfor-
tunate with remedies that have never failed,
since he first introduced them, to cure the
