What is in the Bedroom.

If two persons are TO occupy bed
room during night, let them step upon
weighing scales as they retire, and then
again in the morning, and they will find
their actual weight is at least pound
less in the morning. Frequently there
will be a loss of two or more pounds, and
the average loss through the year will be
more than one pound. That is during
the night there is loss Of pound OF
matter which has gone off from their
bodies partly from the lungs, and partly
through the pores OF the skin. The es-
capped material is carbonic acid, and de-
cayed animal matter, or poisonous exhal-
atoms. This is diffused through the air
in part, and in part absorbed by the bed
clothes. If a single ounce Of wool or
cotton be burned in a room it will so
completely saturate the air with smoke
that one can't breathe, though there can
only be one ounce of foreign matter in
the air. If an ounce Of cotton be burn
ed every half hour during the night, the
air will be kept continually saturated
with smoke, unless there be an open
door or window for it to escape.
Now the 10 ounces of smoke thus
formed is far less poisonous than the 10
ounces of ofexhalalions from the lungs and
bodies of The two persons who have lost
a pound in weight during the ight hours
of sleeping, for while the dry smoke is
mainly taken into the lungs. the damp
odors from the body are absorbed both
into the lungs and into the pores OF the
whole body.
Need more be said to show the impor.
lance Of having bedrooms well ventilated
and of thorough airing the sheets, cover
lids, and mattresses, in the morning. be-
fore fixing them up in the form Of neat
ly made bed.

DErEcrED.-The utterly false pretense
OF the Dutch Consul at New Orleans,
that the money taken from his custody
by order of Major General Butler( $500,
0o0) was not the proceeds or the secesh
robbery of the United States Mint, but
Mexican dollars really belonging to Hope
& Co, of Amsterdam, has been fairly
exposed by microscopic examination Of
the coin itself That shows underneath
the impression OF the Mexican die per
feet evidence that il was originally Tai
led States coin, Ii was re- stamped in
New Orleans in order TO prevent detec.
ton in case it should fall again Within
reach of Uncle Sans clutches. Unms
taxable proof of this cunning trick OF re-
coming is found in 'he O. the distinctive
mark Of the United States dollar coinage
by the New Orleans mint. which still
remains visible with the microscope up
on each OF the aforesaid 100000 = Cin
Gazette.

Whereabouts Of the Western Army.

Since Gen. Halleck excluded the cor.
respondents from his lines at Corin,h, for
criticising his inefficiency and exposing
the imbeclity lhaLpermitted 10000 reb.
els to escape from 10000 Federal SOL
diers the public have been considerably
in the dark concerning the Whereabouts
of his troops and what they are doing.
A letter from correspondent who cs-
ceped expulsion, throws light on what
our great Western army is doing and
what is intende for it to do this summer
Buel's division, as we had heard, is ma,
king its way into East Tennessee for the
purpose of securing the important rail
road connections at Chattanooga and dr-
wing the rebels out Of Northern Georgia
and East Tennessee.
The second grand division is placed
under Gen. Grant, whose Headquarters
are at Memphis, and will operate in West
Tennessee and Arkansas and down the
Mississippi, until navigation is fully
opened 10 New Orleans.
Pope's division (now under General
Thomas, } has lis headquarters at Cornth,
and will op2rate along the railroads OF
that section of country, in Tennessee,
Alabama and Mississippi. 1t seems not
to be intended to advance any part OF
the army into The interior of Mississippi
or Alabama until the sickly season is
over, but to employ lie troops in repair
ing and guarding railroads, opening new
channels of supplies, and making ready
for the fall campaign. However, when
Vicksburg is taken the lines Of The army
may be extended farther South Jack
son, the capital Of Mississippi, can then
easily be occupied, if desirable
Such being the present disposition of
tie Western troops for the summer
months, the question arises, what is to
prevent sending thirty oi forty regiments
TO reinforce Gen. Pope in the valley of
the Shenandoah ? 1.-The had those troops
now he would quickly settle tie Rich

Skedaddle.


The shades of night were falling fast,
AS through a Southern village passed
A youth, who bore, not over nice,
A banner with the gay device,
,Skedaddte,
His hair was red his toes beneath
Peeped like an acorn from its sheath,
While with a frightened voice he sung
A burden strange to Yankee tongue,
Skedaddte!
He saw no household fire, where he
Might warm his tod or hominy ;
Beyond the Cordilleras shone,
And from his lips escaped groan,
Skedaadic,
0 stay" cullered pusson said,
An on dis bosom res yer he'd
The Octroon she winked her eve,
But still he answered with sigh,
.Skedoddle!
" Beware Mcclellan, Buel and Banks
Beware of Halleck's deadly ranks
This was the planters last Good Night,
The chap replied, far out of sight,
Skcddddle!
At break of day, as several boys
From Maine, New York and Illinois,
We're moving Southward, in the air
They heard these accents of despair,
Skedaddie,
A chap was found, and at HE side
A bottle, showing how he died,
Still grasping in his hand of ice,
That banner with the strange device,
.Skedaddie!
There in the twilight, thick and gray,
Considerably played out lie lay
And through the vapor gray and thick,
A voice fell, like rocket stick,
