The Board of Enrolment met yesterday in
pursuance of General Order No lO5, for the
purpose of receiving applications for the Inva-
lid Corps Several applications were received
and examined by DIR. Cahall Surgeon of the
Board. This Corps seems to be quite popular
with those brave boys who have been rendered
unfit for service in the field, by disease or
wounds received in the line of duty. AS the
War Department has authorized but two COM
panies to be organized in this State, soldiers,
disabled who desire to join had better make
application to the Board Determination, which
will continue in session some days.

CAVALRY. by reference to advertisement
in another column it will be seen that the Gov
ernment is holding out special inducements
through the Provost Marshal for volunteers to
tbc Cavalry service. This arm of the service
is to be greatly increased. The recent raids of
Stoneman and Grierson have shown that more
damage can be done to the rebels by destroying
their means of communication, transportation,
supplies, &C., by cavalry charges, than any
other means, and seeing this, the Government,
says the North A,,iericaa, intends to raise ouI
Cavalry force to 100000.

term" roped in Hence the silence of the
press on this matter. 1t was mainly owing to
the lottery money which was used in the pri-
mary arrangements of the Democratic party,
that Mr. Salisbury received the caucus nomi-
nation of that party for Senator instead of
Judge Gilpin of this city. Tha programme
as we were informed at the time, was, that
Judge Gipin was to be United States Senator
and Judge Wootten Chief Justice. But thl'
lottery money spent in the primary election
and afterwards among the members, knocked
the whole arrangement in the head, and Mr.
Salisbury was elected Senator.

Not such a great while ago our thread
was spun between tie thumb and the
finger, and all our clio woven in She
clumsiest Of handloons. Now, by
means of a spinning-jenny and weaving
machinery, one person will make as
much as two hundred yards of cloth in a
day. Before the invention of the cotton
gin, one person could not prepare one
pound Of cotton so easily as he can now
prepare one hundred pounds. Our
gTTUtH1 hUrs could barely knit one pair
Of socks in day--now, by means of a
machine, one little girl can turn out
hundred dollars worth of knitted mater
ials in day. A few years ago we were
told it took seventeen men to make a
complete pin; now the machine is fed
with raw material, which is not touched
again until rolled up in papers of pins.
In Providence, Il. l., there is to-day a
machine that takes a strip Of metal from
coil, and makes two hundred and
thirty inches Of delicate chain out of it,
in day. The metals are no longer
worked by hand-a slow wearing pro-
cess ; they arc shaved, sawed, bored and
hammered, with the greatest case and
accuracy, as much as if they we're of the
softest pine.

AN OLD MAN OF SIXTY HANGED.

BIG WORDS AND SMALL IDEAs.-Bie
words are great favorites with people Of
small ideas and weak conceptions. They
are often employed by men of mind,
when they wish to use language that
may best conceal their Thoughts. With
few exceptions, however, illiteratc and
half-educa cd persons use more " big
words " than people of thorough educa-
ton.
1t is very common but very eyre
gious mistake, to suppose that long words
are more gen.ecl than short ones-just
as the same sort of people imagine high
colors and fashy figures improve the
styles of dress. They are the kind of
folks who don't begin, but always :" COM
mence." They don't live, but" reside. "
They don't 60 to bed, but mysteriously
"retire." They don't eat and drink,
but "partake of refreshmen. They
are never sick, but 6 extremely indls-
posed" And, instead of dying at last,
they decease."
The streng h of the English language
is in the short words-chietly monosyla-
bles Of the Saxon derivation and people
who are in earnest seldom use any other.
Love, hate, anger, grief, joy, express
themselves in short words and direct
sentences while cunning, falshood, and
affcctation, delight in what Horace calls
oerda sesqupedul1a-words j." foot and

the mixture into well-buttered dish,
and lay lightly and evenly over the top
the whites of four eggs beaten to snow.
Bake the pudding for ten minutes in a
gentle oven. The peel of the lemon
should be first soaked in winc-glass of
white wine before it is added to the
other ingredients.
