Il Question of Costs.

1.-The support of the 'contrabandS
now cost the government 100000 per
day"
We find this paragraph going the
rounds of such journals as the Boston
Courier, the New York Herald, and the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Why not add
what is more true, that the support OF
slavery now costs the nation over one
million of dollars per day and that il
the slave owners had not been elcoura
ged to rebellion by such sheets as these
who now use every opportunity to mis-
represent The government there would
have been no contra bands Lv'aych

"Well, you try it," he replied, "wher

And sure enough when spring came

in one minute. Suppose you try it,"

in saucer. Looking closely at it for

rightly. Only look there -
looked, and beheld the little sprouts
about as large as horse hairs, were shoot

He did not retain the water on the see,
above three seconds, and in less than on
