How THE BRrrIsH PAPRRs WERE Re-
TANNED FROM THE REBEL CAUsE.-The
New York Tribune says:-We are per-
mitted to publish the following extract
of a letter from a distinguished
Englishmsn, formerly q member OF
Parliament, dated London, Dec. 10:
Long before Secession was sn accom-
plished fact, the press Of England had
been tempered with by emissaries Of
your disunion party. Men had been
industriously at work to prepare the
way for the speedy recognition OF the
independence of the Cotton States
The programme of Jefferson Davis and
his co-conspirators had been made
known, and arguments supplied where
with it might be supported. Men here
were already supplied with their briefs
and their retaining fees. The stimuli
taneous rising Of the Free States, and
the improvisation o. an immense army
of loyal men, greatly disconnected the
Vaccinations of Yancy, Mann and
their corrupt tools, and necessitated the
adoption Of different course of action;
but they are still active, and the plum
der of the Sub Treasures ofthe South
still holds out, and is freely distributed
among those who are base enough to
be the instruments Of the worst Of trail
tors and vilest of despots.

GARr1rLn,s MOVEMENT AeI

GARFIELD's MOVEMENT AGAINST
HuMPmREY MARsHALL.--The Mt. Ster-
ling Wing of last Friday has the fol-
lowing. with reference TO our move
ments in Eastern Kentucky:
There is every prospect Of an early
engagement between the Union troops
and the insurgents In the mountains
above. The troops that went through
here for Prestonburg sent back their
sick few days ago-having received
orders for forced march toward the
Sandy river. From this we infer that
Colonel Garfield has moved up the riv-
er from Louisa, and that a conflict is
speedily anticipated-in fact we should
not be surprised if it had not taken
place ere this. We anticipate bloody
fight. Marshall and his men are in q
needy and desperate condition, and
they know that nothing but decided
victory can save them. But we have
no misgivings Of the result, il there is
anything like proper Generalship exer-
cised on our side. The force under
Garfield on the Sandy is alone equal
to that of Marshall, independent of
his reserves.

JUDGE SUMMERS OF KANAwHA.-The
Wheeling Intelligencer contains the
following interesting information oi
Judge Summers:
Concerning Judge Summers, we
hear that he stays most of his time out
on his farm, some twenty miles from
Charleston. Poor man, bis locks have
been shorn, and he has become as
other men-as those who never had
name and fame as he has had. The
loyal people who had honored him so
long, looked to him for guidance in
their dark hour of trial-but they soon
found that in him they had no helper.
Cold, selfish, timid, he loved his
money, his houses and his lands more
than he did the cause of the Union
Like the young man of Scripture he
turned away, "for he had great posses
sions." He feared con6scation from
the rebels. Yet all the while and even
now his well wishes are with the Union.
But this is all. 1t must be saved with
out his voice or his arm. He has nc
word Of cheer for it in its extremity
Mournful sight, indeedl to see man
whose name was a tower Of strength,
whose voice was a rallying note for his
people, failing them, failing himself,
and failing his country, when all eyes
were turned TO him for leadership.

A REMARKABLE MEMORY. - Johr
Franklin was a native of Canaan
Litch6eld county, Connecticut. An in.
stance of his remarkable memory. wher
lad OF II, will show that he was nc
ordinary boy. Having accompanied
the family to the place Of worship, the
meeting house being enclosed, bul
neither ceiled nor plastered, the beam;
and rafters were all exposed TO view
John saw that his father sat through
the sermon with great uneasiness, but
could not define the cause.
On returning home, John, said the
father. 'itis my duty to give you a Sc
we're threshing. common in olden times,
and ought to be in modern, and you
shall have it presently, prepare your
self
But you won't whip me, father,
without telling me what for!'
No. certainly-your conduct at
meeting is the cause, sir. Instead oI
attending to the sermon, you were all
the time gaping about as II you were
counting the beams and rafters of the
meeting house,
Can you repeat the sermon, father
Sermon, mol 1 had as much as
could do to watch your inattention.'
IN tell you all the minister said, il
you will not whip me-
No, John, no; but that is impossi-
ble.'
Young Franklin Immediately named
the text, and taking up the discourse,
went through every head of it with
surprising accuracy.
Upon my word,' said the delighted
parent, L should not have thought it,
And now isther,' said John, Il can
tell you how many beams and rafters
there are in the meeting house.'-His-
tory of Wyoming.

OYSTERS AND THEIR AeEs.-An ex-
pert oyster-man can tell the ages OF
bis flock TO n nicely. The age Of an
oyster is not to be found out by looking
into his mouth: it bears its years up m
its back. Everybody who has handled
an oyster-shell must have observed that
it seemed as if composed Of successive
layers or plates overlapping each other
These are technically termed "shoots"
and each OF them marks years
growth; so that. by counting them, we
can determine at glance the year
when the creature come into the world.
Up to the time of its maturity. the
shoots are regular and successive; but
after that time they become irregular,
and are piled one over the other, so
that the shell becomes more and more
thIckened and bulky. Judging from
the great thickness to which some oys-
ter-shells have attained, this mollusc is
capable, if left to its natural changes
unmolested of attaining a great age.

in such things. was in the habit Of say
ing, that to kill a man in battle the
mans weight in lead must be expended.
A French medical and surgical gazette,
published at Lyons, says that this fact
was verified in Solferino. even with the
recent great improvements in firearms.
The Austrians fired 8,4O0, 900 rounds.
The loss of the French and Italians
was 1000 killed and 10000 wounded
Every man hit cost 720 rounds, and
every man killed cost 4,2O0 ounces
The mean weight of ball is one ounce;
thus we find on an average that it re-
quired on an average 272 pounds to
kill a man.

COFFEE A REMEDY FOR WHooPINe
CoUeH.-Tn DR.. George D. Gibbs
work on whooping cough, published in
London, in 1854, he recommends strong
coffee as a specific for the cure of this
disease. 1t has been tried in several
cases with marked effect. In one case
the patient was little girl six years oI
age. There was not single "whoop''
after she began to take it. She took a
tablespoonful and half of very strong
coffee, sweetened, but without milk,
three times a day. A young child in
the same family was well of the dis
ease in three weeks; no other remedy
was used in either case. In another
instance, in which we have recently
tested it, the same happy results fol-
lowed, the "whooping" system being
at once arrested, and the complaint
coming to speedy termination. 1t is
difficult to fix the dose definitely, and
this may account for the unsatisfactory
result in one or two instances we have
heard of, in which a small dose was
given. Another important fact which
should not be lost sight Of is. that three
fourths. probably, of what is drank for
coffee, is made from nothing but peas
and beans. The only sure method is,
to get the coffee berry itself, ard have
it burnt and ground under ones own
eye. The decoction should be given as
strong as possible, and in quantity
only sufficient to cause the unpleasant
stimulating effects of this beverage
Children take it very readily. The
last patient referred to was only eigh-
teen months old, and took once day,
half a cup of coffee thus prepared
without the least noticeable Injurious
affpct

WIT AND WISDOM.


A good man is kinder to his enemy
than bad men are to their friends.
Dress plainly-the thinnest soap
bubbles wear the gaudiest colors.
1t seems a hard case that when a
man dies. his better half is entitled to
only third.
A good action may be SO clumsily
done that il shall pass for bad one.
Bullets can sing and whistle, but they
are not pleasant musicians.
That wondrous book, whose leaves
are the strata of rocks, waited six
thousand years for readers.
Marry il you would prosper; a pair
are always four-handed-an individual
never. e
A mans life is loo long when he out
lives his character, his health, and his
estate.
Men should be like wine-they
should grow better as they grow older.
The heart is book which we ought
not to tear in our hurry to get easily at
its contents.
Some bachelors go to war because
they like fighting; and some married
men go because they Ike peace.
A woman, in a New York paper,
gives notice that she is willing to take
respectable baby to nurse.
1t is an old proverb that boys viii be
boys What pity 'tisn't equally
true that men will be men.
In the interchange of leaden and iron
compliments between soldiers, it is
thought more blessed to give than to
receive.
An English writer says that Ark
wright wrote his name upon the streams.
We don't see how he could; streams
are not stationery.
Those who are now crying for peace,
should tell us how peace can be Sc
cured without sacrificing the Union and
the Government, or else hold their
peace
A lady in paroxysm of grief was

"Poor thingI" remarked an unfeeling

We must familiarize ourselves to the

quietly leave them till God shall indi
cate the moment for undertaking their
cure: otherwise we may destroy the

TIE CoEeREvE RocKET.--An i'm
proved style of the congreve rocket is
about to be introduced in the army oi
the Potomac. This weapon is one Of
the most fearful that can be devised for
setting fire to ships and villages. or for
use against compact bodies Of cavalry
or infantry. They fly with a loud.
whizzing sound, scattering a shower Of
fire along their path. and instead of
projecting in a straight line like can
non ball, they turn short corners, and
shoot of in different directions, like
"zigzag lightning" No one can tell
but that rocket speeding past him at
q furlong's distance, may turn dozen
angles and kill him the next instant.
