WASTE IN THE ARMY.--A writer in the
Newman, Ga, Bulletin, says: .risas rss;s
Since this war commenced We calcnlste,
at q rough estimate, but below rather than
above the real figures, that enough Leather
could have been tanned from the green hides
of beeves killed in our army to have made
over twenty millions Of shoesi What .
reckless waste, mayhap rascalisy, then there
has been in the matter of green hides and
how important thatthers should bee eehange
for the better. .:;.tsia

GILL SEE MY PARrNER."-Strangede-
vices were adopted by scme Of the hard up
soakers, on Christmas. day, to get the where
withal to feel the influence of "the day,w
celebrates" and none were more ingenious
than the method of pretended mute, who
took in some of the merchants that kept
open doors for few hours in the morning,
to catch the early birds that chanced to fly
their way. The mute aforesaid, after scru-
tinizing the sign over the door, pulled a
slate out Of bis, pocket, walled in, and wri-
ting on it the words, 'Got any molasses ?''
handed it to the merchant. The latter ta-
king the hint-namely; thatthe gentleman
was deaf, mute--wrote down the word
eyes" The deaf mute added immediate
ly the inscription, "How much do you ask
for it Pc The merchant jotted down ''ff.
teen dollars" The deaf mute wrote "Let
me see it." The merchant conducted him
to the cellar, and gave him look at the
sorghum. Dummy tasted the same, and,
manifesting his satisfaction by sundry signs
and grimaces, wrote upon his slate '4'll
see my partner" He then started out;
but, as if having forgotten something, re-
turned and jotted down the cabalastic sem
tenee "Got any first rate brandy" The
merchant replied through the medium of
the slate: "Yes-splendid." "Let me see
it," responded Dummy in the same way,
after cleansing the tablet with his coat sleeve.
The merchant conducted him to bright
particular barrel, drew out few "taster's"
full and poured the ruby liquor into COB
let, in which it was illuminated by the cir.
cumambient air to magnificent advantage.
Dummy took it-there was over half pint
in the goblet-viawed the surrounding
scenery Of shelves and boxes through it for
few moments, then slightly tasted it grin
ned satisfaction ndrlbbed his belly; passed
the goblet for moment longer in the air,
and then quietly tilted il to his lips, and
the brandy disappeared 'like DREAM"
from the astonished vision of the merchant
Dummy hoisted his slate again, wrote upon
it the words, "Ill see my partner" made a
bow and left. Some half dozen merchants
were called upon, and 'tested" in the same
fashion, by the original, who, at length, gave
in, and toddled Gown to one of the numer-
Gus "rests for travellers" on 18th street,
and took glorious, gratis slumber, for the
rest of the day.-Richmond Enquirer.

when the picket, unable to resist the temp

not venture togo and getit, lest be might

peeped from behind the tree at his prize,

; SINGULAR TRAITS OF SONG BrRDs-A
gentleman of my acquaintance had an A
merican moeking bird in such health and
yigor that it was constantly singing or else
initiating the various sounds it heard. In
order to try the powers of this bird, the
owner, purchased q. fine skylark. When
placed in the same room with the mocking
bird, the song Of The former was heard in
echo through the house, as if it were chant
ing son futtering wing" its we'll known
welcome to the rising sun. The mocking
bird was silent for some time, but at last
broke forth in the strains of the aasrial song
ster," but louder and clearer, as ifmount.
ing and stretching its wings toward heaven.
The lark was. silent that moment, nor was
joyous note ever heard afterward. Will
ling to test the power Of the mocking bird
still further, an unusually large price was
given for black bird celebrated for its vo-
cal powers. It was placed in the came room
with the mocking bird. Early on the SEQ.
ond morning its songs were resumed, and
its charming notes were warbled forth with
all the sweetness and modulation which may
be heard in its native mhorny brakes
The mocking bird listened and was silent for
time, when all at once its notes were heard
to issue forth, but louder and sweeter than
those ofthe woodland songster. The poor
black bird heard them, felt that it was con-
quered, remained silent, dropped, pined and
died. From the above facts, emulation
would seem to be one of the exciting eau
ses of the songs of the birds. When their
powers are exeelled, they appear to feel dis
graced at being conquered, and to lose all
inclination to renew their former efforts.

twelve months, and 10 we are in the third
year, and as yet I see but faint hopes Of its
conclusion. x y I wrote you last from
Bahia in Brazil, by the way of England,
and directed my letterto you at Cincinnati;
since which, seeing that the Yankee brute,
Burnside, had warned you to quit, I have
learned that my letter did not reach you. I
hope that you have at length all safely
reached our lines, where I doubt not you
have found kind friends tosweleoms you. =

my cruise which would be Of much interest
to you, since the busy public doubtless keeps
you pretty well informed Of my whereabouts
and doings: X I feel now practically
WHAT'S meant by ssttimes that tries mems
souls; but Weimust not give way to sweak-

trials like Christian philosophers. We must
be brave men and women for our oountry'e
sake, and trust all the rest to God. 2.,.
