WEAKNESS OF YoUNG LADIEs-One of
the prevalent weaknesses of the gentle
sex is passion for military clothes
An epaulerte, or a sash and sword can
throw almost any young woman into a
paroxysm of delight and admiration,
without the slightest reference whatever
to the character of the person who may
wear the bewitching insignia of manly
valor and glorious war. Out of this in
trinity of the girls a very ridiculous law
suit for breach of promise of marriage
recently arose in Germany. A wealthy
bakers daughter fell in love with young
Lieutenant in the army, and she prom
ised her hand if papa wonld consent
That consent was given on condition that
the soldier would resign his profession
and settle down to the baking business
The condition was accepted, and the
dashing young officer gave up his COM
mission and assumed the garb of civil
Ian. The girl, however, Immediately
grew cold toward him, and refused to
fulfill her VOW. She had loved the off,
Ger and not the man. The young SOL
der then sued the parents for damages
for the breach of contract, and the court
compelled the defendants to pay him a
life annuity of FIVE hundred and twenty
forms, that being the amount of pay he
had resigned for the girls sake.

"FEDERAcY GONE UP-It is a gen.
eral remark among returned Union pris-
oners from rebellion, that during their
progress from town to town through the
hsunny south their arrivals, even in
the largest and most important cities,
was witnessed only by negroes, old men,
women and children-scarcely a person
capable of bearing arms, except negroes
to be seen. A gentleman who was at In
dianapolis when the rebel prisoners from
Vicksburg arrived in that city, informs
US that the arrival of the procession at
the Bates House, Washington street was
blocked by perfect sea of human be-
ings. One of the "secesh " a long,
lean, lank, cadaverous looking Son Of
Anak, whose limbs were enclosed in the
remains of what was once q carpet,
gazed on the crowd with unfeigred as

'Federacy's gone to Hell-the Feds

"The love of justice, and the love Of

shall have involved Heaven itself in
darkness, doubtless q God Of Justice
will awaken to their distress.
And with what execration should the
statesman be loaded, who, permitting
one half Of the citizens thus TO trample
on the rights of the other, transforms
those into despots and these into enc
mics destroys the morals Of the one
part and the patriotism of the other.
