. IMPORTANCE OF CuRRYINa ANIMALS. Tt is well known that every hair. whether long or short, is covered with numerous little barbs like a 6sl..,ook, and therefore when Q number ofhais are brought in contact with each other, and moved back and forth, they will work in among each other. and often form mass so tang led like the mane of colt, which our ancestors, have often taught as to believe were the stirrups of witches. who were accustomed to ride them in the dark nights-that it is difficult to disen- tangle them The only means that cattle have of scratching themselves many times is to apply their tongues and when the hair comes off as it many times does, by the handful more or less of it will adhere to their tongues; and ma ny times finds it's way into their stomachs; and the reciprocatIng motion of the stomachs of animals which chew the cud would soon form bunch of hair into pellet; and us more hair was taken into the stomach from day to day, i. would be very sure to all collect in one mass. Now, when an animal begins to shed it's coat of hair there always appears to be more or less irritation on the skin, and if the card or curry-comb is not used pretty freely the tongue must be applied and if an animal is well curried every day, when it is shedding it's coat, it will be far less liable to collect hair in it's stomach. A ball of hair-b being indigesti ble-in the stomach, would be very likely to injure its energies so as to produce disease, an eventually. premature death.

Franticslly the Kentucky chap tore of his spectacles, and discovered upon one of the glasses an object indeed. It was small pie ture of negro minstral, my boy, cut from the show bill; of some country band. and pasted upon the spectacles of Kentucky's rising son. It had been secretly placed there the night be fore by . Democratic chap from the Sixth Ward, to give a Constitutional turn to the war.

RELIEF FOR NEuRALGIA--As this dreadful disease is becoming more prevalent than for. merly. and as the doctors have not discovered any method or medicine that will permanently cure it. we simply state that for some time past a member of our family has suffered most in tensely from it, and could find no relief from any remedy applied until we saw anarticlc which recommended the application of bruised horse radish to the face for tooth ache. As neuralgia and tooth acke are both nervous diseases we thought the remedy for oue would be likely to cure the other; so We made application to the side of the body where the disease was seated gave almostinstant relief to thcsevereattack of neuralgia. Since then we have applied it several times, wish the same gratifj ing results The remedy is simple, cheap. and may be with in the reach of every one.

A Rebel Cemetery

A Winchester, Va. correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer writes
Winchester is about used up. 1t is very
difficult to get anything to eat in this God
forsaken town. Here is graveyard which
deserves passing notice. 1t is about six
ty or seventy yards square. The graves
are in rows about two and half feet apart
extending the whole length. There are
some twelve hundred or fifteen hundred
graves, each with little board at the head
bearing the name OF him who sleeps beneath
A long trench, two feet wide and about four
feet deep, is dug, man wrapped in his blan-
ket is laid in, and the trench is filled up over
him just his own length, and raised up lit
tie above the level OF the ground, as graves
generally are. The next is laid with his
head at the feet of the first, and SO on until
the trench is filled; then another is dug and
filled in like manner. There are fifty of
these trenches. Each one contains twenty
eight or thirty men, having nice little board
at he head of each grave. These trenches
are all filled with rebel soldiers, who have
fought their last battle. and now sleep their
last sleep.

Society Interested in the Education
of Every Youth.

What an appalling fact it is to every con-
,emplaive mind, that even wars and fam
ines and pestiIences, terrible calamities as
they are acknowledged TO be, have been
welcomed as blessings and mercies, becaus e
they swept away, by thousands and lens OF
thousands, this pests which ignorance and
guilt had accumulated But the efficiency
or sufficiency Of these comprehensive rem
edies is daily diminishing. War will never
again be waged to disburden the crowded
prisons or to relieve the weary executioner.
The arts Of civilization have SO multiplied
the harvesis of the earth, that a general fam
inc will not again lend its aid to free the
community of its surplus members. Sosie-
ty at large has emerged from that barbarian
and semi barbarian state, where pestilence
formerly had its birth and committed its
ravages. These great outlets and sluice-
ways, which in former times relieved ma

must live with. Itimprovidence beget hun

LII animal instincts are suffered to grow into
Hcentious passions, those passions will find
their way to our most secret chambers. We
have no armed guard which can save our
warehouses;, market places, ana our deposi-
tories of silver and gold, from spoilation by
the hands of mob. When the periured
witness Of the foresworn juryman invades
the temple of justice. he becomes too subtle
for the police to seize. 1t is beyond legis.

least oue thousand iaboriDg men came down

those of good will to him as the represen-
tatiye Of the Government.
General Butler continued by saying
that the war could only be successfully
prosecuted by the destruction Of slavery,
which was made the cornerstone of the
Confederacy.
:. One of the greatest arguments which
he could find against slavery, was the de-
moralzing influence it exerted upon the
lower white classes, who were brought into
secession by the hundred because they ig-
norantly supposed that great wrong was TO

g There was one thing about the Presi-
dents edict Of emancipation to which he
would call attention. In Louisiana he had
excepted from freedom about $1,000 slaves
These comprise all the negroes held in the
Lafourche District, who have been emanci-
pa'ed already for some time under the law
which frees slaves taken In rebellious terrific
ry by our armies. Others of these negroes
had been freed by the proclamation Of Sep
TENDER. which declared all slaves to be free
whose owners should be in arms on the LIST
Of January. The slaves Of Frenchmen
were free, because the Code Cioiie express
ly prohibits Frenchman holding slaves.
and, by the 7th and Sth Victoria, every
Engiishman holding slaves submitted him
sell to a penalty of $500 for each. Now,
take the negroes Of secessionists, French
men. and Englishmen, out Of the $1,000,
and the number is reduced to an minutes
sinai portion Of those excepted. This fact
had come to his knowledge from having re-
quired every inhabitant of the city to reg
lister his nationality. After ali the names
had been fairly registered. he explained
these laws to the English and French Con-
suls, and had thus replied to demands which
had been made by English and French resi-
tents Of Louisiana upon the Government
or slaves alleged to have been seized"

Tie Fear Of God the Beginning Of
Wisdom,

Once on time lived powerful king, who
reigned over large and fertile country
He had crowns of gold and perils. and
scepters of ivory and precious stones His
treasury was full of costly things of the
earth; tens of thousands Of armed men were
ready to obey his bidding. and his dominion
extended from sea to sea. But without
Gods blessing, worldly possessions are but
an increase of care, and as this mighty mon
arch feared net God, he was dissatisfied and
unhappy.
In the dominion of the king lived GER
tain dervise. famed for abstinence, sanotity
wisdom and piety; and the king willing to
proht by the instructions of the holy man,
paid him a visit. He found him clothed in
sackcloth. living In cave surrounded with
hlghsrocks. on the border of wilderness.
Holy man. said the king, Il come to
learn how may be happy"
Without giving any reply thu dervise led
the king through the rugged pathways Of
the place until he brought him in front of a
high rock, near the top of which an eagle
had built her eyrie
Why has the eagle built her nest yon-
der?" said the dervise
Doubtless replied the king, chat it
may be out OF the way of danger
81 hen initiate the bird, said the dervise,
"build thy throne in heaven, and thou shalt
reign unmolested and in peace"
Now the king would have willingly CIV
en- the dervise hund red pieces of gold. if
ne would have accepted it, for this precious
piece OF advice; and here am giving it TO
you for nothing. 1t may be as useful to
you as it was to the king, for you are all in
lerested in being as happy as he was As
the eagle built her nest on the rugged rock,
build your hope on the "Rock of Ages
As the dervise told the king to erect his
thone In heaven. so l will tell you to "seek /
those things which are above, where Christ |
'itteth at the right hand of God. Set your
affections on things above, not on things Of
