CONCERNING sPoNaHs.I
LFrom the Christian Tirnes.l


Most persons who have their birth in a
Christian land, who are at all observing in
their habits, and do not belong to that great
political party known as the agreat tnwash-
ed" have some idea, more or less distinct, of
the appearance and qualities of the sponge.
The distinguishing characteristic of the sponge
is in capacity of absorbing water. 1t has a
great imbibing power In this it is second
only to the habitues of city rum saloon or a
village tavern. The learned tell us that it is
an animal, and if so it must be | ke the Irish
mans alligator-"a baste that was all mouth
except his tail, and that was all month too,,
1t is because of the wonderful capacity for
absorption which some men are endowed with
by nature, or acquire by long and successful
practice, that they have been denohinated
sponges. Such persons have the faculty. and
skill OF imbibmg all that is necessary for their
maintainance, either in a physical. mental or
moral point of view, with sang, frdsd and
matter OF course sort of air, which is wonder
tul to behold m .$lH QJ,Hsd4ih

A REBEL GENERAL ON JEFF. DAVIS.
Major-General Jordan, late chief of staff to
General Beauregard, has written for the Octo-
ber number of Harper's Maya@iae an article
on Jefferson Davis, in which the president Of
the late Confederacy is exhibited as vain,
pigneaded, incapable person, not it, in any
way, to lead amovementAort to command men.
He gives, too, incidentally, some curious bits Of
the private history Of the s'Confederacy."
