PHILADELPHIA, May 30, 1868.
u. c. Sddler Esq, Agent for Litlie's SAFES;
DEAR SIR: During the night of May 10, 1868,
our Grocery and Provision Store, at North Second
and Willow streets, took FIRE at about o'clock
A. M, and the store was a two-story wood
building it burnt rapidly, and before the fire.
engines could act upon the fire, our whole stock of
goods, including much combustble MATERIAL and
amounting to over $4,000 was wholly de-
stroyed. We had one of your No. ii Chilled Iron
Safes which was in the hottest part of the fire. and
it out of the fire not in the least injured ex-
cept the melting off of the name, plate and paint.
The contents inside not affected in the least,
and we consider the Safe just good protection
against fire before, and shall use it hereafter
with increased confidence.
Yours truly,

JUDGING BY APPEARANcE.-As short time
ago there was a funeral in that very fash
,onable house of worship, Grace Church,
on Broadway. A gentleman, wearing /.
decidedly seedy over coat, entered and took
a conspicuous seat in the vicinity Of the
pulpit, and it is needless to say, he attracted
the immediate attention of the distinguish.
ed, ornamental and cercmonious sexton,
who is not apt to tolerate any act, calculat-
ed to infringe upon his personal dignity. -
he gently approached and requested the
intruder to remove to one of the free seats,
which was nearer to the door. The owner
Of the shabby over. coat, though evident,
ly surprised obeyed without hesitation.-
Shortly after young lieutenant, in all the
pride and pomp Of a new uniform, entered
the church and took a seat in the same
pew, casting as he passed, supercilinus
glance upon the unfortunate individual,
who was SO inconsidcrate as to visit Grace
Church in an unseemly garb. A hymn
was read, and as the audience rose to their
feet, the Objectionable garment was remov.
cd, displaying the stars, denoting the rank
Of Major General. The effectwas instan-
tancous. The young officer with prompt
obseauiousness, extended his hymn book
simultaneously with lady, who was
prompted to the same act Of courtesy,
while the aston,shcd Brown, discovering
the blunder he had committed, attempted to
repair it by inviting the distinguished
stranger to resume his former place. Gen.
Banks quietly declined these cvilities, and
was evidently impressed with the idea that
with some people, dress makes tho Major
General.

a FORTUNATE SpEcuLATIoN.-Nor' Wes-
ter, the New York correspondent Of the
Boston Post, relates the following incident
Of one Of the fortunate speculations of the
day: In the summer Of 1851, young man
who happened to have 81 900 burning in
his pocket, but whose fears counsclcd him
to keep out Of the usual channels of trade,
called on one Of our heavy shipping mer
chants, who is also president of city
bank, and asked his advice as to how to
use his money. The merchant suggested
his investing it in tar, the article at that
time selling at one dollar barrel. with eve.
ry prospect Of soon being on the advance.
The young man took the advice, bought
ter thousand barrels Of tar, and stored it
for rise. After keeping it until last fall
he concluded to realizs on his investment,
and sold it all out a, $40 barrel, or forty
times its original cost, receiving his original
capital Of $4,000 and the slight accumu-
lation Of $500. 900 as the dividend thereon.

REMEDY FOR DlPTnERIA.-A Pcnnsylva-
MIA correspondent writes that the dipthcria
is prevalent in some parts of that State,
and says that we would confer great favor
upon the sufferers by republishing the rem
edy given about year ago. With this
request we comply. 1t is as follows:
Make two small bags that will reach
from ear to ear, and fill them with ashes
ard salt; dip them in hot water and wiring
them out so they will not drip, and apply
them to the throat; cover up the whole
with flannel cloth, and change them as
often as they become cool, until the throat
becomes irritated near blistering. For
children it is necessary to put flame! cloths
between the ashes and the throat, to pre-
vent bliStering. When the ashes have been
on sufficient time, take a wet flannel cloth
and rub it with thick lather; dip it in hot
water then apply to the throat, and change
as often as it cools. At the same time use
gargle made Of one tea spoonful of cayenne
pepper, one Of salt, une Of molasses, in a
teacupful of hot water, and when cool. add
one.fourtir As much cider vinegar, and gar
gle for fifteen minutes, or until the patient
requires steep. A gsrgle made Of CASTLE
soap is good to be used part of the time"
A correspondent in Maine, in sending
the above remedy, says there had been a
number of deaths from diptheria, until this
remedy was used, since when all had re-
covered Christian Mtelligeacer.

RELIEF FOR NEuRALGlA.-As this dread.
full disease is becoming more prevalent than
formerly. and as the doctors have not found
any method or medicine that will perms.
nenlly cure it, we simply state that for
some time past member Of our family has
suffered most intensely from it, and could
find no relief from any remedy applied. un-
til we saw an article which recommended
the application Of bruised horseradish to
the face, for toothache. AS neuralgia
and toothache are both nervous diseases,
we thought the remedy for the one would
be likely to cure the other, so we made the
application to the side Of the body where
the disease was seated. 1t gave almost in
slant relief to tho severe attack Of neural
gia. Since then VIC have applied it several
times, and with tho same gratifying results,
The reme,:y is simple, cheap, and may be

not be uninteresting to some Of your read

topic Of conversation in camp at this time
is our removal from this place, and it ex.
cites good deal Of feeling in regard to
our destination, &C. Although some of
the boys feel considerable disappointment
in not having the chance Of going down
South to pitch into the rebels, yet the idea
of leaving camp Hendeshott mud is enough
to make up for good many disappoint.
mcnts. Our destination at present is Sioux
City, which I suppose will be the head
quarters of the regiment during the sum-
mer or at least fora while. Where we will
be sent after that remains to be solved.
Our regiment is in very good condition
as to health, no sickness except bad colds
occasioned by the wet weather and the
muddy condition of camp ground. We
had quite nice little affair here on Satur.
day last; the officers of the regiment pur.
chased and presented Col. Wilson with
very handsome sabre Lieut.. Col. Pollock,
made neat presentation speech, which was
responded to by the little Colonel himself,
who by the way is a tip top officer. The
whole thing was a handsome affair.
The McGregor boys here are feeling first

the best men in the regiment and he is max
ing fine progress in his military Knowledge.
Some of the men have not got back from
furlough yet. Sickness the cause.

the time that the Richmond papers made
mention of the confirmation Of jeff Davis
in the Episcopal church, and when it was
reported that his health was failing, so that
he was not probably long for this world, a
little girl having heard the matter spoken
of in her family, asked her mother whether
jeff Davis would go to heaven if he died.
The mother replied that she did not know
anything about it, and declined giving any
answer well" said the little girl, "there
is one thing know" Being asked what
it was, she said, 81 know if JEFF Davis goes
