A Man with too ,uuch Wife.

Chapman, a witty lawyer of Hart
ford, was busy with a case, at which
lady was present, with whom he
had already had something TO do as
a witness.
Her husband was prcsent-a di-
minutive, mock, forbcarins sort OF
man-who, in the language of MIR.
Chapman, " looked like IL rooster
Just fshed out Of a swill barrel )"
while the lady was large portly
woman, evidently the better horse.
AS on the former occasion she 'balk-
ed on the cross examination. The
lawyer was pressing the question
with his usual urgency, when she
said, with vindictive fire flashing
from her eyes:
"Mr Chapman, you needn't think
you can catch me; you tried that
once before !"
Putting on his most quizzical ex-
preston, Mr.. Chapman replied:
"Madam, | haven't the slightest
idea to catch you ; and your husband
looks to me as if he was sorry he
had ~
The husband family smiled assent.

Power of Cyphcrs.

The enlightened man may have q
clear understanding of thousands,
and even millions, but much beyond
that he can form no distinct idea. A
simple example, and easily solved,
will illustrate the observation. If all
the vast bodies of water that cover
nearly three-fourths of the surface Of
the globe were emptied, drop by drop,
into one grand reservoir, the whole
number Of drops could be written by
the two words "eighteen septillions,'
and expressed in figures by annexing
twenty-four cyphers to the number
IS, or $4,000, 900, 900, 900, 900, ,0oo,-
OO0,OOO.) Man might as we'll at
tempt to explore the bounds Of eter-
nifty as to form any rational idea of
the units embodied in the expression
above for although the aggregate
Of drops is indicated by figures in
the space of only an irch and half
of ordinary print, yet if each parti-
cular drop were noted by separate
stroke like the figure l, it would
form line of marks suffi iciently long
to wind round the sun six thousand
billions of times
Now observe, if you please, the
marvellous power or value which the
cyphers or thoughts insignificant
by themselves-give to the signifi-
can't figures l9 The young reader
will be surprised to learn that the use
of the cypher to determine the value
Of any particular figure, which is
now practised by every scboolboy,
was unknown to the ancients. There
fore among the Greeks and Romans
and other nations Of antiquity, ar
itbnetical operations we're exceeding
ly tedious and difficult. They had
to reckon with little pebbles, shells,
or beads, used as counters, to trans
act the ordinary business Of life
Even the great Cicero, in his Grafton
for Roscius, the actor, in order to
express 300. 900, had to make use Of
the very awkward and cumbrous DO
tatiou, fCCCIO0o CCCIO1O CCC[
OOO,) which may admit Of the very
liberal translation three Cs, one J,
three inverted C's; three Cs, one !,
three C's inverted three Cs, one |,
three C's upside down. How very
odd this looks in the year of our Lord

A UNION OF HEARTS.
[From the Express.

From the Express.
The battle had ragged from the dawn Of the day,
The life blood of thousands was ebbng AVA,
As our column moved forward, it raincd shot and
shell,
Yet rushed on uuheeding who stood or who fell
The batt'ries were stormed in a tempest of fire,
Mid the blaze Of the cannon the foemcn retire,
But slow their retreat in their resolute fight,
Till the struggle found rest in the gloom of the
night.
The moon as it rose in dark clouds was concealed,
As if hiding its face from the blood on that field
A Young diving soldier, the column who led,
As the corpse of his brother had pillowed his
head
In the heat of the onset, its fury and strife,
His sword meta Zoe and had taken his life
But worse than his death wound, the heart
rending pan,
To find twas hi: brother his weapon had slain.
As the ambulance corps sought the wounded that
night
Where a hlockof dead told how fierce was the
fight
They heard the 'ast PRAYER Of brave soldier 5
breath.
Ere his heart ceased to throb in the portals OF
death:
80 Father vi Mercy forgive me the nlGW
That caused the heart blood cf 4 brother to flow,
Tha: reuds the fond .!curt OF Il mother IN twain,
To weep for the slayer, as she wccps for the slain.
when Life has no longer charm to display,
When Earth and lis visions are passing away,
How weak are the caGses, rs now understood.
Have led to the thirsting for each others blood {;
Oh, great God Of Battles, grant carnage ma
Cease,
Lock down on our country. and give to it peace,

The Union will live in Il Union Of licartS.

The Essence Of Meanness.

The -Ncuc ZcH, the leading Ger
man paper Of St. Louis, that has SO
strongly advocated arbitrary arrests,
was taken all aback when General
ScAoGe!d arrested the anti-slavery
editor OF The Democrat, 1t now says:
{. True. we knew long ago that mill
tary law was aespotism. BIT ace did
no: kno;c Of imagine UGt the Ia1v
,r0u!d be used to prosecute the loyal
press.
Who does not feel contempt and
hatred for creature base enough to
utter such a sentiment as the above.
Military violence and persecution,
when used upon Democrats, was all
right but he did not imagine that
the poisoned chalice could ever be re-
turncd to his own lips, aud that his
party could fal! into the very pitfall
it had dug FOR others. He was will
ins to see them prosecuted and pro-
scribed, but shrinks when the perse-
cution comes home to his own house
hold. What 4 selfish sneak and
coward to be unwilling to drink the
dose lie hal prepared tor Demo Gratis.

NATCHEZ.
TFrom the New York Times.

IH FROM tne Ne" lofh il"es'J
Hhe fortunes OF the City of Nat
csez in this war have been rather re-
mrkable. 1t is the only rebel cliy
2any size on the Mississippi River
whose capture has given us no treH-
bis mhatever. 1t first fell into our
hands in May of last year, when its
Mayor surrendered it to the fleet Of
Qnmodore rarragut, who made a
Mp, up the river after he had cap
90. I'd New Orleans. We had not
isf.scns ssets-.aleld it, but the city was
out on-its best behavior, under pc
naIty. It's good faith was tested
when Farragut again passed Il on
his return from tie first bon.bard-
ment OF VickSburs subsequently, it
was tested at the close Of last year,
when Elct's rams passed it Oh their
daring tour down the Mississippi and
up the Red River and again, for a
tilird time, it was tested, when 1t
was passed by tnrragut vessels .
months ago, after he had run the
Port Hudson batteries. In all these
Instances the authorities Of Natchez
have kept their pledge, and not a
shot as fred at our passing vessels.
After the fall Of Fickshurg, q por-
ton OF Grants troops went down
the river, and without assistance took
pcssessiou Of Natchez. Natchez is
the largest city in the State Of Mis-
sissippi-one-thirdlar larger than licks,
burg-is placed on d high bluff and
in commanding situation. and 1t IS
remarkable that The rebels did not at
any timr make any efforts to hold it.
