4 Mammoth Grasshopper.

A Frenchman while translating an Amer
ican book, came to a sentence which related
that soldier tied his horse to locust (tree)
standing in front of a house. Looking at,
the dictionary he found the word locust 70
be in French, ''tontermc2is, nearing grass
hopper" He therefore used the word TIN
teyneUe in his translation, thus conveying the
idea to his readers that in this country grass
horse M being fastened to them and ,rS one W was

We were taken back to prison, put in irons,
and thrown into one Of those filthy holes cal
led cells, where we were kept for three weeks
on bread and water The weather was very
cold during the time, and we nearly perish
ed There was very large amount of filth
in the cell which could not induce them to
remove, nor could / get them to premit me
to remove it. | asked for paper, pen and
ink TO write to the rebel authorities, and al
so for a box TO sit on, Of which there was
large number in the cells, but everything
was denied me. At the time | was taken
to the cell, there were six Of our men con
fined in these cells for attempting to escape.
They had been there for SIX days without
blankets, and two Of them were very sick.
They were released at the end of seven days
of confinement. | cannot describe to you
the loathsome flthiness of these cells. They
are infested with an innumerable number OF
rats and mice, and have no mark of having
been cleaned since they were first built. 1t
is needless for me TO say that no man can
survive a long cofnement III a place of this
kind, and although | am acquainted with
several persons who have been confined
there, [ do not know one who can now be
called a well man He also confirms the
statement that every pledge made 10 them
TO return them their money was violated,
and that too, after notice was sent North
that the money forwarded them would be
delivered. Every penny 50 sent was stolen.

Ten Thousand Persons Burnt Alive in Japan

In August last, in Japan, not a building
with 2000 beings in it, but Il whole city OF
10000 souls was suddenly burned to ash
es in a few hours city of paper and BAN
boo, covering many square miles, filed with
its women and children, the sick and the
infirm, the blinds the hauft-lnd the manned
1t burned ike straw on many sides at once
reddening the ocean for leagues with its
flames. It was fired, without warning by
bomb-shells, and red-ho5 shot rained inces-
sanity during two days into its midst. In
that vast confagetion it is morally certain
that not 2000 only, but at least five times,
perhaps ten or twenty times 20O0 helpless
creatures must have perished. No brilliant
pen has painted for US the hideeus incidents
Of their last agonies, and the horrors Of an
internal fire. before which that Of Chill
burns but pale and feebly. That death was
dealt out to those innocent beings in Japan
by English sailors, purposely, unsparingly
and boastfully, not in war notin self-preser-
vation, but in order to stikre terror into a
harmless people whom we are bent upon
forcing into trade.-L0ndon Nelcs,

WINTER WILL NOT LAST FOREVER.

Winter will not last forever
Spring will soon come forth again,
And. with flowers of every color,
Deck the hillside and the plain.
Lambs will soon in fields be sporting,
Birds Te-echo from each tree,
Winters gone its days are ended
We are happy-we are free ~
Hedges and tree swill soon be budding,
Soon with leaves be covered DER;
Winter cannot last forever
Brighter days are yet in store
Sorrows will not last forever
Brighter times will come again,
Joy our every grief succeeding.
AS the sunshine after rain
As the snow and ice of winter
Melt at the approach of spring,
So will all our cares and trials,
Joy, and pease, and comfort bring.
When the heart is sad and dropping,
Think, though you be vexed sore,
Sorrows cannot last forever
Brighter days are yet in store

The Phila. Press says, it has been incor-
rectly stated in many Union Journals that
Mr. Wallace Dewitt an extreme pro-slavery
Democrat and "a bitter opponent of the Ad-
ministration and of Governor Curtin in the
fall canvass, owes his position as Prothono-
tary of the Middle district of the Supreme
Court to the vote Of Judge Aguew. The
Indignation aroused by the appointment of
Dewitt was lost in the profound regret for
the supposed action of Judge Agnew. As
the Press is one of the Journals which pub
lished the false statement, we are anxious to
entirely vindicate Judge Agnew from the
charge. That gentleman imperatiyely re-
fused to have anything to do with the APP
pointment of Mr.. Dewitt, and we trust the
fact viii be circulated throughout the State.

Education the Cornerstone of the Union.

Education the Cornerstone of the Union.
Wendell Phillips delivered lecture few
days ago, at the Music Hall Boston, before
u large audience, in which he advocated the
planting Of school houses among the ne
groes, and poor whites ot the South, with
every step of the army, and said that we
have one destiny and one future with the
black mau, and we've got to share our ideas
with him. He said that he did not despOnd
of the future Of the Republic, but believed,
as if he saw it, in a union Of all the States,
indisoluble as granite, and founded upon
justice in the words of another, you might
as well attempt to put six weeks chicken
back into its egg, as to return four millions
Of slaves into bondage. The South, he said,
fights with the undying energy Of baffied
aristocracy, and an arist0cracy is always
hard to conquer. There Is danger of our
becoming Abolitionists an AbolitioniSt is
behind the times, we must become Ameri-
can citizens. Applause, He spoke also
IN regard to the next Presidential election,
and said that we must rise to the level OF
our mission we must demand policy in
our candidate which is thoroughly, and in
the original sense of the word democratic,
and let our platform be that everything
which God has furnished with veins must
by us be provided with Il school
