Z. THIRD WARD Observation-Disclosures meeting OF
the Third Ward Exemption Fund Association
was held last night at Temperance Hall, Mr..
Bartlett presiding.
Mr. Sharretts stated that they had been dis
appointed in the men they expected to get
from Alexandria, but they would receive
ever, that he believed sufficient number of
men eouId be obtained If the committee were
allowed to use the money in hand, without
restriction, for the time of the drafted men had
been extended until the llth, and in the mean
time much might be accomplished
at 10 O'Clock the expected dispatch from
Alexandria was received. 1t announced tn at
no positive promise could be made until Tues
day next; and the meeting then adopted the
resolution heretofore offered by Mr.. Ogden, to
divide one half of the funds in hand among
those Of the drafted men Who had contributed,
and retain the other halt for such of the mem
bers as may be drafted to fill the deficiency.
If, however, there should be no further draft,
all of the money is to be divided among those
held TO service. Adjourned.

THE CENTRAL BASIN AND ITS EMPORIUM
The Iowa Religious News Letter says that the
Central Basin, west of the Great Valley, is TO
be our great Continental Meat stall, and will
have its influence also. on the destinies OF the
continent and the world. The order of things
as you move westward. from the Alleghanies
towards the Rocky Mountains, is, first grain,
then grazing, then gold. Through the heart
of this vast grazing section. runs the Union
Pacific Railroad, soon to be strung with settle
ments like string of beads. Surveys for its
route are about commencing from near the
mouth of the Platte River and running west.
Somewhere in that vicinity, where the main
trunk shall cross the Missouri, the next great
Northwestern city-after Chicago and west Of
it's 10 be built. OR cities on the Upper
Mississippi are too near Chicago, and it draws
from them too powerfully to allow them to
compete with it. Besides, no one of them will
ever have the great crossing of the Upper
Mississippi at its door. for there is not one, but
several. The Missouri is far enough away for
another mammoth commercial metropolis,
where the products Of the North and the Pacific
coast will meet aud be exchanged, the great
meat market for the immense cattle ranges OF
Colorado perhaps outrauking Chicago in this,
as Chicago outranks other cities in lumber and
grain. This may be Omaha, or some new city
yet to rise.

DURING the siege of Vicksburg, several pol
iticiaus called upon General Grant, one day, to
talk about political matters. General Grant
listened to them for few moments, and then
interrupted them, saying: There is no use Of
talking about politics TO me. l know nothing
about that subject; and, furthermore, don t
know of any person among my acquaintaDces
who does. But there is one subject with which
am perfectly acquainted. Talk Of that, and

asked the politicians in surprise. Tanning

father was wealthy tanner out West, and

WHERE DOES THE RAIN CoNE From MIR.
Glasher, in England, recently made scientific
ascent in balloon in rain storm, to study
the rain in the place where it comes from. "On
the ground, the rain drops were as large as
four penny pieces upon his note book; little
higher up they merely dotted it like pin points;
higher, till it was Scotch mist, or wet fog
yet higher, the fog was dry, and at $500 feet
the balloon was out of rain, though it was fall.
ing on the earth. Above them. even at that
elevation, was the stratum of cloud which sci
ence. without ever having seen, had darngly
predicted as always above the overcast of q
rainy sky; and at the height of 1000 feet, in
descending, the balloon was in a current of
wind from one quarter, and the car in another
from one nearly opposite-sousheast and south
west respectively; in other words, the Colum
bus of the clouds had sailed into the eddy be-
tween the continent currents of atmosphere
which were mingling their temperatures, and
thus engaging some of their moisture for the
behoof Of the corn6eld and picnic parties
below"

BAD CopY.-We fnd the following
in an English paper. If not true it
ought to be:
At the harvest home of Slaugham,
Sussex, the chairman said that Dean
Hook had preached them q magnificent
sermon. Before the Dean Went homo
he asked leave to print ii, telling him
they thought they could sell an hun
dred, and offered 70 copy cat the SER
mon plain for the printer, The dean
made an answer and said that would
never DO, he would write il out badly
himself. Upon his asking the dean why,
explained that if the copy was plain it
would be put in the hands of the worst
compositorS; whereas, if it was written
badly the best hands would get it and
the work be done better. In con6rma-
ton of this, We add that. once upon a
time, conyerSiNg with Robert Southey,
the poet, We alluded to his particularly
neat and legible handwriting, saying
that. Of course, he must have little
trouble in correcting his proof His
reply was, ON the contrary, | write so
well that M copy is as equal to print,
among the apprentices, who are careless
and incompetent, and make scores of
blunders when they set it up. Lord
Brougham, on the other hand, writes
almost illegibly, and his manuscript
goes to the best compositors, who have
brains and skill to make out its mean
ing, and are paid one third extra for
deciphering it.

MAMMOTH RExA1ss IN SIBEsIA.-During
the last two centuries at least twenty thousand
mammoths have been washed out of the ice
and soil in which they were imbedded in Sibe-
ria. They are, of course, most valuable remains
of an extinct race of animals; but the inhabit-
ants of the region have preserved only the
tusks, which have commercial value as ivory
Russian geologists are now making prepara
tions to promote the discovery of the CONCEALED
remains of these mammoth animals in Siberia
and particularly to preserve one Of these car
casses as perfect and entire as possible, as it j;
considered that microscopic investigation of
the contents of the stomach might throw a
powerful light on a host of geological and
physiological problems.
