Letter on Extravaganza.

A letter of Franklin to-his dausbte
written in 1881, rebuking her expressed
desire for "French fnery, might furnish
a good text for our pre-ent Importation
leagues;
"Wheu I began to read your account Of
the high prices of goods, a pair of gloves
seven dollars, a yard of common gauze
twenty-four dollars, and that it now re-
quired a fortune tomaintain a family in
a very plain way, Iexpected you would
conclude by telling me that everybody,
as well as yourself; was grown frugal and
Industrious and I could scarce believe
my eyes, in reading forward, that there
never was SO much pleasure and dressing
going on and that you yourself wanted
black pins and feathers from France, to
appear, 1 suppose, in the model This
leads me to imagine that, perhaps, It is
not SO much that the goods are grown
dear as that the money has grown
cheap, as everything else will do when
excessively plenty and that people are
still as easy, nearly, in their eircumstan-
oes. as when a pair Of gloves might be
had for half a crown. The war, indeed,
may in some degree raise the prices Of
goods, and the high taxes which are
to support the war may make
our fugaEty necessary and, as I am
always preaching that doctrine, I cannot
in conscience or in decency encourage
the country, by my example, in furnish
ing my children with foolish modes and /
luxuries. 1 therefore send all the articles
you desire that are useful and necessary,
and omit the rest; for, as you should |
have great pride in wearing anything I /
send, and showingit as your fathers /
taste, I must avoid giving you an oppOr-
tunity ofdOing that with either lace or
feathers IF you wear your cambrie
ruffies as do, and take care not to mend |
the holes, they viii come in time to be |
lace; and feathers, my dear girl, may be |
had in America from every cocks tail"

An Intoxicated Horse,


As Deputy Marshal Curly WIS com
ing into tOwnthe otlser day, lie met near
the "Ihree Nile House a gentleman
who had just returned from the CITY.
and was telling how his horse had cot
on a spree the previous night. He
had started from Arnot's stable about
nine O'Clock at night, and the animal
trOtted up Chesnut street at a sober
gait, but hauI5ed Oh the eornor ODpo-
site the international, and could
not be induced to proceed until the
owner had got out Of his buggy and
taken q drink. After a catawba cob
bier had been imbibed through a
straw, the horse appeared satisfied,
and started on in q good humor,
About half way down the block, how
ever, the horse made another halt ami
would not stir a peg until the driver
had dismOunted and taken a brandy
punch at Kings. Again the gentle
man got into bis buggy, and once
more the horse proceeded willingly
on his journey. Turning up Pine
street, the quadruped made another
dead stand opposite the ''Holein the
Wall" and the owner got out and
took a whisky julep. Finding that
the horse was determined to have his
own way, he gave him the reins, al
lowed him to do as he pleased. Turn
ing down Fifth street, the horse stop
ped at hamburger S, and the gentle
man, knowing it was useless to argue
the point with his dumb conductor,
got out and swallowed a glass oebeer.
Mounting again, he was halted a Bes-
sehPs, and went in and took a whisky
straight. Having made the circle Of
the block, the gentleman supposed his
horse would now be satisfied. and
proceeded homeTard. In this he was
mistaken, f0r he found himself once
more at the international, and went
in and took light cocktail. By this
time he became impressed with the
belief that his horse was drunk, and
thought he would give him time to
sober of; and having a vague idea that
the liquor he drank vas by some
means filtered into the hOuses head,
he decided to drink no more. COnse-
quently, when he came to "King's"
again, he drank a glass Of water, and
mounted his vehicle again for another
start. What was his astouishment
to find that the horse refused to budget
He returned and took a stiff horn Of
brandy, after which the horse started
off without any hesitation. How
many times he was 'arried around the
block, and how man drinks he took,
the gentleman could not remember.
He says he got out of the buggy
somehow, sentthe horse to Arnots
and went home on the cars TSt.

Worth Considering.

1t Is mistake to suppose, as many do,
that our cause would be greatly advan
ced, still more that its immedi te tri-
umph would be insured, by a grand
pouring forth of the entire military re.
sources Of the nation in one grand move
ment upon the stongholds Of the enemy.
We often hear such a comprehensive
popular uprising crudely suggested, but
the drawbacks attending ita not duly
understood OF taken into account. Read
the following from the Army and Navy
JouFnaL-goOd authority
Our belief is that the army Of the Poto-
mac was as large at the outset as Its
commander required But every army
is certain Of some diminution, even if It
roll in garrison the year around, ard
obviously Of far greater in a campaign
like the present What is wanted Is to
keep the ranks constantly full. Too
great an army is unwieldly. With good
generalship, re-enforcement up to the
point Of easy and skilful handling is all
that is needed.
Our future re enforcements should be
applied steadily and in such numbers
as may be called for, notin a sudden rush
Of new and raw levy of immense nun
bers. It's not the rally to arms Of
million six months men, or Of f''every able
bodied man in the country" that is
going to crush the rebellion by dead
weight
1t is rather constantly filling up the
army to that level of utility which its
commander has discovered. For such a
purpose, men may be wanted, not per
haps all within a few months, but at oil
times until Tie rebellion is over.
1t is fortunately true however, that
under the operation Of the draft, many
volunteers for thee years will be secured.
1t IS beginning also to be evident that
the summer campaign" will be made a
winter campaign as well, if necessary,
and that it viii have no close without a
decisive result. There may be intervals
of rest, and diversions here and there,
but the army has gone to Richmond for
no other purpose, and with no dream,
butsto take the city, be it next month or
next year.

Prentice on Bennett.

The n. Y. Herald few days ago made q
vulgar and hbelous attack upon Prentice of
the Louisville Journal accusing him Of being
a whisky bottle and charging that all wes-
tern editors, were bottles of whisky. In re-
ply Prentice goes back OF. .Bennet in The fol-
lowing slashing style:
Itis not supposable that any paper on earth
could have ought to gain from a dispute with
the New York Herald. The editor Of that
concern is so low down that fifty mfllstones
around his neck, waist, arms, and legs, couldn't
sink him lower Notoriously he has been Of
tener kicked and horse-whip3ed than any 9TH
er man in the United States. Whoever has
had the slightest fancy for horse-whipping or
kicking him has done it. The license to oper-
ate on him either way or both couldn't have
been more perfect if he had worn the words
"to LETT in chalk-marks upon his shoulders and
coat tail, When he was walked up each morn
ing, his reflection has been now it is to be a
horse-whipping or Kicking today" and &C.
easionly it has been both, eked out with a
smartInose pulling. In fact his nose has been SO
frequently twisted that it is entirely one-sid-
ed affair." and we.think, that; in common fair-
ness, the 'tWister' should be sentenced by
court Of justice to untwist the twist
The editor Of the Herald is said to have a
utls NA9csA VI KICKS ItE GACGeu
his cOppers. The only time he was ever
known to thank God was when sharp toed
boots and shoes were. changed to sqriaretoed.
1t is said, that, by long experience, he could
always tell when kicked, whether the appli-
cations was made by boots, shoes, brogans, or
Slippers, at What particular store the article
was bought, what was its cost, what was ats
quality, and whether It was made of the hide
Of Durhams, ShOrthorns, Attorneys, Here-
lords or DeTons. When cattle were killed, 1T
was fFequentunderstanding, that while the
fat vas to be tried on the fire the leather was
to be tried on the editor of the Herald He is
regarded as being undoubtedly-the best Judge
OF leather in New York, not that he is a leather
dealer butthat leather-dealers have had so
much to do with him. He has come so often
IN contact with leather that the part Of him
chiefly concerned has itself become leather
So he not only walks upon leather when he
walks but sits upon leather when he sits.zfcT
The editor Of the Herald has lived a good
deal longer than he ought to have done but it
is to be hoped that he can't live always. And
if he ever dies; his hide should be tanned to
leather that, thatis the small portion Of that
hasn't already been, his hair used as sh6snda-
kers bristles, and his bones made into shoe
horns.

On LIFT IN FRONT or PETERSBURG,
H. A. ansn n


Monday, kug 22-8 s. H.
Sundays fight was largely in our favor. IN
the morning, little after 8 o'clock, as had
been nomentarily expected, the enemy sud-
denly made their appearance in very strong
force on our left flank, vest Of the Weldon
Railroad, and opened upon our position with
artillery. This IRE our forces received behind
their works without making much demonstra-
tion, which encouraged the enemy to advance
their infantry lines in grand charge on
double quick. These charging lines came
within easy musket range Of our works, when
cur troops rising to their feet poured intothem
most terrific FIRE Of mUsketry mingled with
canister and grape from our batteries, liter
ally piling the rebel dead and wounded in
heaps. The rebel rear lines broke and precip-
itately fed to the cover of the woods from
which they emerged, but a remnant Of the
first line which was very near our works,
threw down their arms and surrendered on
the spot to the number Of 800 or 400. Thus
closed the first scene Of the attack, but Gen.
Lee had said te Gen. Beauregard in the morn
ing that the Weldon railroad must be regaiued
that day if iteost every man in his command,
and if our left is too strong there must be q
weak point near the right, where our left could
be cut of to itself and captured So the reb-
el force was gathered up and sent to the.right
Of our liRe. Soon they found gap between
the 9th and 9th corps, through which they
eag8rly poured, but only to encounter part Of
the second corps well back in the gap, and to
be closed in on By the 5th and 8th corps, by a
loss of a thousand more prisoners and three
stands Of regimental colors. This closes the
second and last scene in yesterdays desper-
ate attempt to regain the Weldon Railroad.
This road is now firmly held within oar forti-
fed lines, and is claimed by our officers to be
forever gone up to the Confederacy. What
NE enemy viii next attempt is not known, but
We are believed to be ready for him all along
the line.

Simplicity in Language.


Big words are favoritas with people
Of small ideas and weak conception
They are often employed by men Of
mind when they wish to conceal their
thoughts. As a general thing, illiterate
and half educated persons use more big
words than persons Of thorough educa-
ton. 1t i5a very common but very
.egregious mistake to suppose that long
words are more genteel than short ones +;
just as the same people imagine that high
colOrs and fasby figures improve the
style of dress. They are the kind Of
people who never begin but always
Commence" they don't live but f'resid6P
they don't go to bed but mysteriously
'ret;Fe, they don't eat and drink but
"partakeso of refreshments" are never. sick
but ''eEtremly iDdispOsed;P and instead
Of dying at last they adeeease" The
chef strength Of the English language
is in short words-mOstly mOnosyla-
bles Of Saxon deTiyation-and people
who are earnest seldom use any other.
Love, hate anger, grief, Joy, express
themselves in short words and direct
sentence; whilsr euRning falsehood and
afectation delight in what Horace calls
words foot and q half long. e y

Tie One Hundred Days Men and
the Draft,


The historE Of the one-hundred-day-
men imbrogiio IN New York is briefly
this: MAJ. Gen sandford, commander Of
the New York militia, published an order,
witha veiw to induce enlistments, that
all persons mustered into service under
the President S esll for militia would be
exempt from the draft of September
5th. Governor Seymour telegraph to
Provost Marshal General Fry on the
subject, however, and he replied that no
one e5huhdred- day men would be exempt
ed from that draft, but would be on the
same footing as the Ohio one -hundred-day
men. Governor Seymour then refused
to forward one -hundredlday troops, and
sent Gen. Sanford here to negotiate,
claiming that men raised on the one
hundred days cali we're exempt from the
draft for next September 9TH &
The Secretary OF, War referred the
matter to Solicitor Whiting, who gave
his opinion that the Provost Marshal
General Saldford was wrong in his
decision, and that, mas much as tho New
York troops were called on not for any
definite time, but for a period not ez-
deeding one hundred days and might be
discharged from service at any moment
prior to the draft, such previous services
would not exempt them from the draft,
but that any oHe-hundred-days' man
actually in the military service at the
time when his name is drawn from the
draft box shall be entitled to exemption
from that draft. The decision Of the
Secretary eR War was made in conformity
with this opinion of the Solicitor, aud
handed to General Sanford ~ Wash.
