ANOTHER CoPPERHEAD FALsEHooD REFUrRD.
The Copperheads have wasted much breath
in circulating the falsehood that the freed
slaves employed by the Government at Port
Royal are worthless and vast expense to the
country-that white men are taxed to support
lazy niggers, &c. Official information having
been called for by Congress, the Secretary OF
the Treasury replies that there has been ex-
pended for agricultural implements, SIT ,OSI
for the purchase of the schooner Flora, S3l,-
$50; for white labor, $50 ,74s; for colored
labor, S34, ,527. Total expenses, 1925 7O5.
From this expenditure has been rea lized S726-
9S4. Deducting the above expenses, there
remains on hand from this fund S50l ,279.
The Secretary says that no expenditure what
ever has been made from the Treasury on &C.
count of the cultivation of the plantations or
the collection of cotton, or the educational or
benevolent care of the laborers. The rations
furnished by the War Department were paid
for by the use of the Flora. More than half
million of dollars was saved by these opera
tions, and is in the hands of the Assistant
Treasurer at New York.

A FIRST RATE MORNING aArH.

great deal is said about bathing, and
houses are generally preferred for having
baths fixed in them, supplied with hot water
and cold; bnt the simplest bath, and one in
which all may indulge without trouble or ex-
pense, is that of sponge or towel bath and
if repeated every morning. summer and win
ter, is such renovater of the system that you
will have little occasion either for salt water
bathing or any other kind of bathing, and may
fairly promise your doctor long holiday so
far as you are concerned. Just do we tell
you in this article, and, if you do not feel
better, throw the blame upon our advice.
Before going to bed, El your wash ba sin
with water, say two-thirds full then put into
it a large soft sponge, or towel-just which is
handiest. Provide something to stand on
either piece of old carpet or shallow tin
to keep the floor from being wet; and also
couple of coarse, good-sized towels. Then all
being ready, Immediately upon rising in the
morning having thrown off your night-dress,
first wet your head, and then take the sponge
or towel full OF water and squeeze it upon your
shoulders, the water running down to your feet.
The body having thus got good wetting, you
need not, as some suggest, sponge the body
any further, but take the towels and give
yourself good rubbing for about one or two
minutes, till the skin begins to react then
dress as quickly as possible, and, if convent
ent and the weather suitable, take short walk.
Bathing and dressing should not take you
more than ten minutes. Practice will render
less rubbing sufficient, and the walk in time
NAV be djspensed with This is bath that
every body should take, and will be found an
infalible source of vigor and good health, if
properly done and followed up.

Jerusalem Underground.

An account of Signor Perotti's discoveries
in the subterranean topography of Jerusalem
has been published. Employed by the Pasha
as an engineer, has been discovered that the
modern city of Jerusalem stands on several
layers of ruined masonry, the undermost of
which, composed of deeply beveled and enor-
nous stones, he attributes to the age of Solo
mon; the next to that of Zerobabei ; the next
to that of Herod ! the next to that of Justi-
nian and so on till the times of the Saracens
and Crusaders. He has traced series of con-
duits and sewers leading from ssthe dome of
the rock" a mosque standing On the very site
of the alter of sacrifice in the temple of the
Valley of Jehosaphat, by means of which the
priests were enabled to flush the whole temple
area!with water, and thus carry off the blood
and ofial of the sacrifices to the brook of K ed
ron. The manner OF his explorations was
very interesting. He got an Arab to walk up
through these immense sewers, ringing bel
and blowing trumpet, while he himself, by
following the sound, was enabled to follow the
exact course they took. About two years a.
60 he accidently discovered fountain at the
pool of Bethsada, and on his opening it, a CO.
pious stream of water Immediately began to
flow, and has flowed ever since. No one
knows from whence it comes or viii ther it
goes. This caused the greatest excitement
among the Jews, who focked in crowds to
drink and bathe themselves in it. The fanci-
ed it was one of the signs of Messiah's coming,
and portended the speedy restoration of their
commonwealth. This fountain, which has
peculiar taste like that OF milk and water, is
identified By Sgnor Pierotti with the fountain
which Hezekiah built, and which is describ-
ed by Josephqs. The measurements and posi-
tion Of most of these remains accord exact
ly with the Jewish historians descriptions.
Some of the Sgnor's conclusions disputed
but no one has succeeded in so disinterring
the relics OF the Holy City.

HEROIC CONDUCT OF A WOMAN.

Among the American vessels captured by
the pirate Retriburion was the American brig
antine J. P. Ellicott, 2S3 tons, of Buck sport,
Me-, A. Devereaux, master, from Boston to
Cienfuegos, Cuba. She was captured on the
10th CT January, in latitude % degrees 10
m inutes. North, and longitude IS degrees 55
minutes west. Her officers anG crew were ta-
ken on board the pirate and placed in irons.
prize crew was put on board the brig,
consisting of Gilbert Hay, "a Scotchman, prize
master, recently from Fort Lafayette, and
John Gilbert, mate, and five seamen.
The captain and mate of the J. P. Ellicott
of the mate was left on board the brig. This
woman had cause to fear bad usage at the
hands of the prize master and his mate, and
she managed to get them intoxicated, when
she proposed to the seamen, who were most
ly, if not all colored people from ST. Thomas,
TO make them prisoners. and to capture the
vessel. She took iron hand cuffs from her
trunk, and, with their assistance, put the pi-
rates in irons, and took possession of the ves-
sci on the 10th of January. She had studied
navigation on the voyage with her husband,
and, having assumed command, sailed tor st.
Thomas, till she spoke a French vessel which
gave her the right course. She made Torto-
la, one of the Virgin Islands to the windward
Of st. Thomas. whence she was piloted by ool-
ored people TO st. Thomas, where she arrived
on the 18th ult., and placed her in the hands

BETTER TINES.

Nv mothers voice how oft it creeps
Its cadence on my lonely hours,
Like Healings sent on wings of sleep.
Or dew upon the unconscious flowers.
I might forget her melting prayer
While pleasure S pulses madly fly;
But in the still. unbroken air,
Her gentle tones come stealing by
And years of sin and manhood fiee
And leave me at my mother's knee.
One book of nature, and the print
Of beauty on the whispering sea.
Gives still to me some lineament
OF what l have been taught to be.
Ny heart is harder and perhaps
Ny manliness has drunk up tears,
And there mildew in the lapse
OF few miserable years
But natures book is even yet
With all my mothers lessons writ.
| have been out at even-tide,
Beneath moon lit sky of spring.
When earth was garuished like bride.
And night had on her silver wing
When bursting buds and growing grass
And waters leaping to the light,
Ard all that make the pulses pass
With wilder feetness thrpnged the night
When all was beauty, then was l.
With friends on HON my love is flung.
Like mirth on wings of Araby,
Gazed up where evening lamp is hung.
And when the beauteous spirit there,
Flung over its golden chain,
My m others voice came on the air,
Like the light dropping of the rail-,
And resting on some silver star.
The spirit of a bended knee,
I've poured deep and fervent prayer.
That our eternity might be
To rise in heaven like stars at night,
And tread living path of light.

BURGLAR SHoT.-A few nights ago burg
larious attempt was made to enter the store
of Mrs, Bucher, in Columbia, Pa. The burg
lar paid dearly for his attempt at robbery, for
the proprietor, owing to the numerous at
tempts at burg larry which had been made in
that borough of late, had taken the precaution
to be prepared for such characters, and reoei-
we'd the burglar by discharging pistol at him,
the charge from which inflicted wound that
caused his death in few hours.

DEATH OF THE s'OLDEsr THE
last will and testament of Mrs. Elizabeth N.Y.
ers, late Of Ants township, Blair county, was
admitted to probate recently. The deceased
was in many respects a remarkable woman.
She was born in the year 1854, consequently
she was l09 years old when she died. To re-
alize the changes that occurred in her long and
eventful lite. We have only to reflect that at
the time of her birth, Washington was beleag-
cred by the French at Fort Necessity Pitts
burg was then small fort in possession of
the French that Braddock was defeated next
year. that she was q years old at the Decla-
ration of Independence, and was 5s at the.
breaking out of the war of 1872! She lived
before steamboats, were invented, saw canal
boats cross the Mountain, the ssiron horse'' do
the same and the telegraph compete with
thought. Last and saddest of ALL she lived to
see traitors striving to break up the Govern
ment, which her husband fought and bled to
establish. A relic of the past, she died res
pected by all.

egg. the history of which is something like
lady to whom he was betrothed. She receiy-

dain. In her indignation that he should send
her such gift, she cast it to the earth. When
it touched the ground, spring cunningly hid

HOGS BY THE MILE.

The chicago ITtbHne OF February 4th, says
s:The gross receipts in round numbers, show
ing the total number of hogs and cattle re-
eeived at this market since October 1st, the
commencement of the packing season, give
but very faint idea of the porcine and bovine
immeDsity of this trade. To the packer and
dealer. the fact that mp to last Saturday night
l 1,056, no hogs and so ,617 cattle have been re-
ceIved here is clear, and he at once compre-
hends the extent of the traffic in all its dimen-
sions. Figures Iucidly indicate to him the
condition and extent of trade. But to the un-
practiced person, unacquainted with the mys-
teries of hog and steer, heifer and pig, in
their various phases, from the days of their
innocent life, roofing for acorns or champing
the succulent prairie grass, up to the melan-
choly days when they terminate their life in
the bloody packing house, figures and sum
totals furnish faint idea of the extent of
trade.
Let us put these hogs nose to tail, and
stretch them out in this manner, and then We
may get an idea of the business. Taking l.
056, ITO hogs, and averaging the length of a
hog at six feet, the procession of gTunters
would be triffe over l 200 miles in length !;
averaging the cattle at ten feet, and adding
them TO the hog procession, there would be
just 300 miles of the creatures-that is, the
lowing, grunting caravan would extend from
Chicago through Michigan, Canada West and
New York State to New York city, thence
up through Connecticut and Massachusetts to
Boston, thence still on through New Hamp-
shire and Maine to Portland. While the first
hog was grunting among the beautiful elms
of Portland, Maine, the one million fifty six
thousand and one hundred and tenth at the
other end of this hog telegraph would re-
spond in the streets of Chicago, ILL.,, and at
the same time the natives of the towns and
villages from here half way to Detroit would
be deafened with the lowings of cattle.
Stretching the procession farther South, ten
States would listen to the unceasing grunts
telling unmistakably of the resources of the
greatmart of the Northwest
Again, were it not for the wants of the
Rebel Commissary Department, we m light
head the caravan South, and it would reach
through Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi,
and if they were good swimmers, and not like
their Scriptural brethren who perished in the
sea, they would pass over the Gulf of Mexico,
clear to South America. Westward, they
would reach to Brigham Young's dominions
northwest, to the frozen regions of the north
ermost part of Hudson's Bay.
To carry this army of hogs and beeves
would require freight train of Sc, ,134 cars,
extending $50 miles, reaching considerably
beyond Detroit. Add to this, the numbers
that will be received during the remainder of
the season, and look ahead at the prospective
increase for seasons to come, and how many
years will it be before Chicago will be able TO
surround the whole United States with living
wall of hogs and girdle the continent with
links of the savory sausage, and feed the in
habitants of the world with spare ribs and ha
con.

"MR. VIM. REDAKER Dear Sir Your Sc
cession letter reached me this afternoon. 1
see by it that you are we'll. You state, if
David did not come home until the rebellion
was put down, that he would have to remain
in the army until Demoratic President was
elected, as Old Abe is not able to settle the
war, because he only wants to free the slaves.
You also write that you do not want the re-
turned volunteers to visit your neighborhood,
as they would only steal your turkies; and
that il we come home, you will fight us when
we make our appearance; and you wish the
war would come to close by compromise.
All this is your language.
ssYou block-head-you ass, or child of the

there you can see that there was just such to-
ries as You are, who would rot go to fight a.
ganst the British I; but stayed at home as you
do, to do all against the Union that you can.
You are worse than the rebels in the South,
for when they are taken prisoners they say
they are wrong in their work, and th at the

ssThis rebellion can be put down, and will
be put down, notwithstanding all your seces-
