WAa.-If war has is chivalry and its
pagentfy, II has also its hidcousHess and
its demoniac woe. Bullets respect not
beauty. They tear out the eye, and shat.
ter the jaw, and rend the cheek. Mercy
abandOns the arena Of battle. The fran.
tic war horse with iron hoof tramples
upon the mangled face, the throbbing
and inilamed wounds, the splintered
bones, and heeds not the Sbrick Of tor
ture. Crushed into the mire by the
wheels Of heavy artillery, the victim Of
war thinks Of mother, father, sister,
home, and means and dies his mangled
corpse is covered with few shovelSful Of
earth, and left as food for vultures and
dogs, and he is forgotten. lie who
loathes war, and will do everything in his
power to avert it, but who will in the last
extremity, encounter its perils, from love
Of country and Of hOme-whO is willing
to sacrifice himself and all that is dear to
him in life, TO promote the well-being Of
his fellow men, will ever receive a wor-
thy homage. Abbot.

ufacturers OF fine cut tobacco have put
up the price SO per cent. and cut down

that the fine cut now in market is made

The retail price Of the article is increased
one-third. What is true Of tobacco is
true also of cigars. "Grabs" have dis

The discount or drawback Of forty per

enable them to undersell in this market

How PONrOON BADGES AXE MADE. -
Pontoon boats are fiat. bdt;omed, thirty
1eet long, two and half feet deep in the
center, two and half wide at the bow,
and Eve feet side at the stern, swelling
out at the side to the width Of six feet.
Each fits on = running gear of four
wheels, and is used as q baggage wagon
FOR the pontoOnliers, carrying its proper
tiOn OF string pieces and Of plank. On
reaching . river the boats are unloaded,
floated across by cables made fast up the
stream, then the string pieces are laid
across from one boat to the next, and on
these are placed the planks. each twenty
one feet in length, which form the gang
way of that length. II is q fine sight to
see a regiment come to a river bank with
o pontoOn train, unload and launch their
boats, moor them in a line, and in less
than five minutes from the time when
the word "halt" was given, have u
bridge, say six hundred feet in length,
over which an army can safely pass with
artillery and baggage.
