of H. \. Wilemann. Esq, at " Grove Farm" Lihue,

roof. and rs a strong wind was blowing at the time,
the flames enveoped the building so rapidly that it
was found impossible to save anything inside Of it.

To make an aristocrat in the future we must

small minority; the duty to obey is inherent
in the great masses of mankind. All govern

South entertains so great dislike as univer-

LIVING IN THE DISMAL SWAMP.-The pro-
gress of the war has developed the ability Of
our soldiers 10 surmount almost any phvsi-
cal obstacle, and to live in places hitherto re-
garded as uninhabitable. Now we learn that
not only is the Great Dismal Swamp habita.
Bile but even salubrious, according to the war
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, who
says
:. The name of the Great Dismal Swamp
starts feeling of Ill defined dread and hor-
ror in the breasts of those who have become
acquainted with its soft and Shiny labyrinths J
only through the medium Of romance. 1t is
impossible to conceive of any one but black
herculean, enthusiastic Dred who could ex-
list amid the noxious niasmas of the Great
Dismal Swamp. They believe man who
attempts TO live beneath the shade of these
upas.like trees is sure as destiny Ct certain
death. Yet this Great Dismal Swamp is ac-
tually healthy, is occupied by our soldiers,
and is pronounced salubrious by our sur
geons. The l77th Pennsylvania went there
with almost two hundred on the sick list, and
now they have scarcely two dozen. This is
miraculous, when consider how they have
to contend against frogs, snakes, lizards and
wood ticks. The Salt Sulphur Springs of Mag
