TIE New COLONIZATION SCHEME.-Ths Balt
more american says that the British brig Ocean
Ranger is now lying in Hampton Roads having
aboard about 500 contrabands, nearly all of whom
have come 10 from the Peninsula, during the war.
The new colonization Scheme proposed to and
sanctioned by President Lincoln, is about to be
tested, and the freed Ethiopians are perfectly sat-
ifed With trying their fortunes in a strange land
the island of Hayti. They are to receive each
eight dollars per month for their labor FOR the
period of five years, and at the expiration Of that
time will be entitled to an additional revenue
arising from the sale Of whatever agricultural pro-
ducts they msy raise. In few days another
vessel will leave for Hayti, carrying stores and
luggage for the adventures.

TRANSPORTATION FOR THE NoRTHwEsT-A
memorial has been addressed to the Governor
General OF Canada by the commissioners recently
appointed by the Governor of Illinois, in relation
to the necessity Of enlarged and cheaper tide
water outlets to the ocean for the products of the
Northwest. Arguments are presented in favor
Of SO opening and perfecting the navigation of the
St. Lawrence, as to afford to the commerce Of
beth countries cheap communication between
the shipping ports on the Northwestern lakes and

west has arrived at point of production beyond
any possible capacity for transportation which
can be provided, except by the great natural out
outlets. The railways ana canals are oVer-crowd-
ed by the immense shipments Of produce. 1t Is
urged that by improving the navigation of the St.
Lawrence, freghts may be reduced thirty cents
per bushel which would have the effect of greatly
stimulating the production of grain, and cheaper
its coat TO English consumers.

Origin of Brandy.

BRANDY began to be distilled in France
about the year 1343, but it vas prepared
only as a medicine, and was considered
as possessing such marvellous strengthen
ing powers that the physicians termed it
"the water of life" a name it retains,
though now rendered, by excessive pota-
tions, one of lifs's most powerful and
prevalent destroyers. Raymond Lully, a
disciple of Arnold de Villa Nova, con-
sidered this admirable essence of wine to
be an eminatiOn from the Divinity, and
that it was intended to reanimate and
prolong the life of man. He even thought
that this discovery indicated that the
time had arrived for the con8ummation
of all things-the end Of the world. Be-
fore the true means of determining the
quantity Of alcohol in spirits was known,
the dealers we're in the habit of employ
ing very rude method of forming a no
ton of the strength. A given quantity
of spirits was poured upon a quantity of
gunpOwder, in dish, and set on fire. If
at the end of combustion the gunpowder
continued dry enough, it took FIRE and
but if it had been wetted by
the water in the spirits, the fame of the
alcohol went out without setting the pow
der on fire. This was called the proof.
Spirits which kindled gunpowder were
said to be above proof those that did
not set FIRE to it were said to be below
proof From this origin of the term
"prOof," it is obvious that It's meaning
must have been deemed very indefinite.

A Scene on the Border.
From The st. 5o.spb n,ol Hsr.ld.1

lFrOm the st. Joseph ClO9 Hersld.l
/, A GENTLEMAN relates that whilst pas
sing through Andrew county few day.
agO, he heard voice that sounded like a
bugle, merrily singing:
Rally round the aag, boys" sc.
On turning the corner of the road, he
discovered woman weeping, with child
in her arms Near by was boy, who
was loading on a wagon that had a pair
of cows hitehed to it, the last remnants
Of furniture that had been snatched from
the flames Of handsome dwelling house
the night before The boy continued
singing
I We're marching to the Held, boys" &c
On arriving at the place the gentle
man inquired:
How did this accident hapgen?'
Aecident?-h-lll' T replied the boy.
Some men come from Kansas last night
and burned dads house. They said he
was rebel, and its a d-d lie. He has
been for the Union all the timer
And again the boy sung
The Union forever, 'rah, boys, 'rah." .
The gentleman, still more interested,
said
Don't you really know what they burnt
the house for?'
Burnt to restore the Union, I Ireckon,
or because our folks owned negro once.
Dad is in the militia, and this is what he
gets for it.
Have you no oxen to hitch to your
wagonp
Stole 'sm last night.
What has become Of your horsesT
Ask jim Lane; 1 reckon him or some
of his strikers have got EN- posted before
this in Kaesas.'
But, said the stranger, they have
to get passes to take stock over the riv-
er.
Mister, you are not up to the way
they do things in these parts. AlIthese
Kansas fellers want is skif and a rope.
But, perhaps you may be one Of them
chaps, looking around for a chance.
To hear how this little fellow would
answer, our friend said
Yes, my son, I am really from Kan
sas, but am not looking for plunder. III
you have lost your stock, Why don't you
go over the river and hunt it up?'
No use, said the boy; old Jake,
down there, lost his horses and went over
there after EN-, and they put him in jail /
cause they said he vas hunting niggers.
They tell me you fellers have stole two
regiments of niggers, and the way the
horses have left these parts I expect you
have taken dozen nf EN-. But I don't
care d-n, our folks are going to II
linOis, and I am going with the sold
iers'
Our friend passed on, aud the boy
again, singing;

absence Of the principal musicians, no
sooner saw the gents, than, in a voi3e of
reprimand, be ordered them to take their
places with the music. The drum bear
ers halted, looked at each other. and then
at the Colonel, but never said a word.
The Colonel repeated his order in a style
SO emphatic that it couIdn't be misunder-

crisis had arrived, that an explanation
had become a military necessity. So
the drummer going close up to the Colo

/ If ever a prize is offered for a conspic.
uous instance of uDfairness and want Of
magnanimity to an opponent, the Trib.
une can fairly claim it. General McClel.
Ian, if not ont of the army, at least has
no hope of serving his country in the
field while the present Administration is
in power He has been the constant
subject of defamation and abuse by the
party now ruling the country. All off,
cial and unofficial means have been used
to damn him in the eyes of the nation.
During all this time General Mcclellan
has been silent; neither by speech nor
letter has he in any way noticed the as
saults made upon him, with a patience
and dignity which are of the highest
traits in human nature, trusting to time
and his own official record to do him JUS
tiee. After he had been dcposed, after
it was certain that he was to be debarred
from the military service, he sends in his
report Of all military doings from his ap-
pointment, with the request that it might
be published, or that at least he might
have the privilege Of publishing it him
self This has been refused him. The
same government which has allowed the
publication of official documents to injure
him, refuses to allow his report to see
the light and the Tribune, which has
concurred in this gross injustice, now
proceeds to reiterate its oft refuted mis-
representations Of him and his military
career This is as bad as stabbing a man
in the dark, and with poisoned weapon.

bune will not only be corrected but con-
foundcd.-N. T. World.

stakes were powerless to make him

pe'e IN those days, and the Major looked
Hjn for two or three hourssevery Afternoon
at the KursaaL As a rule, although a
careless player hewonlargcly; one night
he carried away 3 5000 Napoleons; on an
other he broke the bank, which was lin
tied to 5000. But t was observed that

sldietiug himself always to the rouge ct
noir or trente ct quarenie-games which
as you should know, are played with
earis, and in 10 way dependent upon the
treacherous revolutions Of an ivory ball.
After all, these attendances at the
Kursaal were only pour SC dj.Eaire. 1t
was in private that Major Sproot made
his largest gains. At lansquenet, at pi
quet, at ecartq, at whist, at vingt- -et.ou, he
is cnconquerab!e. He always won; and
that too, by seemingly, the most indif'cr-
cnt play. At loo he is said to have am
assed enormous sums It was inpossi-
bic to bring against him the the slightest
accusation of foul play but at last the
grand dukes and ambassadors, whose
pockets he emptiad, began to look with
some uneasinese upon the terrible Am
erican He didn't play on a system; he
scarcely looked at his cards, and yet he
always won.
There was at this time at AK, a dash
ing adventurer,of Irish extraction, whose
real name is said to have been O'Kelly,
but who called himself the Baron de KoI-
H. He had been mixed up in the mys-
terious and disroputable intrigue by
means of which the British Government
endeavored, but unsuccessfully, to liber-
ate Ferdinand of Spain (the Virgins pet
ticoat embroiderer) from the clutches Of
Napoleon, at Bayonne. The Baron de
Kolli had come to Ak on the chance of
something turning, in the way of adyen-
ture or of swindling, and lived from hand
to mouth, like a high mettlcd gamester
as he was. He could not gain admittance
to the patrician society in which Major
SproOt was welcome, but Kursaal was
open to everybody who had decent coat
on his back; and to the Kursaall, and to
the trente ct quarante table the Baron de
KolG came afternoon after afternoon,
playing little when the odds were ia
YOrable, but occupying himself much
more with watching the game of the man
with the tortoise-shell spectacles.
It chanced one day that as Major
Sproot was bending across the green
baize to shake handful of Napoleons on
the rouge, one of the strings which, be-
sides the tortoise-shell, confined the spec
tacleS to his head, became loosened, and
those appendages slid of his nose and
fell to the floor. He stopped rapidly TO
pick them up; but the Baron de Kolli
had been beforehand with him. He had
placed the heel of one of his Hessian
boots on the glasses, and crushed them
into a hundred fragments,

A New Race of Champions.


OUR notice Of tie presentation of the
beautiful silver fife to Louis II Houcke
formerly of the 1st Kentucky Infantry
and our Endorsement of him as the mos
accomplished performer on that instru
ment in the country, has discovered the
fact that there are several, in this and
contiguous States, who are not willing tc
yield the laurels to Mr.. Houcke, without
tcontesting his right to wear them. An
indianapolis ffer, Charles W. Hit, by
name, offers to enter the lists for wager
with Mr.. Houcke, and Major Robinson,
of Cleveland, displays his willingness to
.out-ffe" both Of them, in the following
challenge;
"CLEvELAYD, O., Oct. 26, 1868.
II, W. F. Robinson, formerly ffer in
the Cumberland Army, do hereby chal-
lenge either Louis II. Houcke, formerly
ffer of the lst Kentucky Volunteers, or
Charles w Hit, to fe-playing match,
for the sum of five hundred dollars side,
to take place at this city or at Columbus,
Ohio, within thirty days from the above
date Any communication sent to my
name, in this city, box 758, shall be
promptly attended to. Cincinnati papers
please copy.
elf no answer is sent to this challenge
in a reasonable time, I will consider it a
back-dOwn, and therefore, request of peo-
pie either to put up or dry up on ffeng.
w. F. ROBINSON"
In spite Of this unexpected show Of
strength, we still cling to our original
opinion, and We hope that Mr.. Houcke's
modesty will not prevent him from re-
plenishing his exehequer in the manner
indicated Cincinnati Commercial
IF the body is tired, restj and if the
brain is tired, sleep.
If the bowels are loose lie down in a
warm bed, remain there, and eat nothing
until you are we'll.
If the action of the bowels does not
occur at the usual hour, eat not rn atom
until they do act, at least for thirty-six
hours; meanwhile drink largely of cold
water or hot teas; and exercise in the
open air to the extent of a gentle perspi-
ration, and keep up this until things are
righted; this one suggestion, if practio-
ed, would save myriads of lives every
year, both in the city and in the coun-
try.

are warmth, abstinence and repose.-
