1 Brave Drummer Boy,

Orion P. Howe, 4 little drummer in the
10Th Illinois Vols, has been placed in the
Naval School at Newport by the President.
Gen. Sherman wrote TO the Secretary Of War
of him saying that at the assault on V;cks-
burg he came TO him at the front, crying Gu t:
: General Sherman, send some cartridges 10
Col. MaImborg, the men are nearly all out. y
" What is the matter, my boy?' said |.
They shot me in the leg, sir but can go
to the hospital. Send the cartridges right
away" Even where we stood the shot fell
thick, and l told him 10 60 to the rear at
once, would attend to the cartridges. and
off he limped. Just before he disappeare d
on the hill, he turned and called as loud :,
he could, "Caliber d." l have 10! seen
the lad since, and his colonel. (tIalmborg)
on inquiry, gave me his address as above.
and says he is bright intelligent boy, with
fair preliminary education. Wha;, contin-
ues the general, arrested my attention then
wss-and what renewed my memory of the
fact now-is that one SO young, carrying a
musket ball through his leg, should have
found his way to ne on that fatal spot. and
delivered his message, not forgetting the
very important part, even, of the caliber of
his musket. 81, "hich you know is an unu-
sual one.

The Boston Organ O1lt.Done.

The musical display in connection with the
late Inauguration of Gov. HAHN in New Or
leans was the work of Gov. Gilmore. the
Boston blcd-leader, and was the biggest
thing OF It's Kind ever witnessed on the con-
tiDent. The main features were Dand O;
three hundred Instruments and chorus of
SIC thousand school children and twenty
Thousand soldiers, with cannon oLiiqato
from fifty pieces of artillery, which at the
sweep of Gilmore's baton were discharged in
succession by means of galvanic battery
We can imagine that the three hundred.
twenty thousand, and fifty, made an emphatic
musical forte. The New Orleans Times says
of it:
The band struck up" America" This was
played as the other pieces, first, with the tull
band; then the band with grand chorus the
third time with grand chorus, and Ginning OF
all tie bells in the city. and finally. the fourth
aud last time with the full band. Ginning Of
the bells. and accompaniment of artillery ard
and infantry and of the entire audience.

JOSH BILLINGS on PIGs.-AZ the white
roze wakens into buty. SO duz the white Pig
come to gladden. w. His earz are Ike the
lilac leaf, played upon hi the young zephurz
at eventide, his silkaBess IL the wool ov buty
and hiz ilgger IL the outline ov lovaness. Hiz,
food IL white nectar, drawn from the full
fountain ov afscshan. He wakes fatter aud
more silk, ezra d :, and hangs from the buzzam
O. hiz muiher like an image ov alahasiur He
laf.th at forms, and curleth hiz tale still cus-
err, az hiZ feast goefh on, then he rizeth with
gladness, and wandreth with hiz kindred, be-
side the still waters. His brothers and sis
tiers are az like him az flakes ov snow, end
all the day long, amung the red klover, and
beneath the white thorn, he maketh hiZ Joy,
and leadeth life arkadion. Hiz words are
low musk, and hiz language the untutored
freshness ov natur. Hiz pasiime IL the his
tory ov innersence, and hiz leZzure IL Gle
ganse. He walketh where grass leadeth
aud CANDLES tew the dallianse ov dewy fra
grans.. He gathreth straws in biz mouth
and hasteth away on Grants of gladness. He
listeth TO the reproof of biz parent; hiz ack-
shuns are the jaws ov peritness and his logic
is the pownr of insiinkt. Hiz datime is pease,
and his evening is gentle forgitfulness. Az
he taketh on years, he loveih kool phases, and
delveth ia liquids, and stirreih the arth to a
fairness, and painteth hisself in dark cullers. a
refuge from flize, aud the torments ov life.
He forgeteth hiz parent, and bekummeth his
own master, aud larneth the mystery OF food,
and groweth hugely. Men gaze at his porky
ness and kount his vallu by pounds, and lay
In wait for him, and sackriise him, and give
his flesh salt for safety. . This Is
Pig life.
