WHYso Much BEAUTY IN POLAND e-
cause" says Rayard Taylor, ''there girls do
not jump from infancy to young ladyhood.
They are not sent from the cradle to the par
Tor, to dress to sit still and look pretty -
No, they are treated as children should be-
During childhood, which extends through a
period Of several years, they are plainly and
loosely dressed, and allowed to run, romp
and play in the open air. They are not loa-
ded down, girded about, and oppressed ev-
cry way with countless frills, and superabun :
dasiilI Hounces, so as to be admired for their
clothing; nor are rendered delicate Or dys-
peptic by continual stufiing with candies and
sweet cakes, as are the majority Of Ameri-
can children. Plain simple food, free and
various exercise, and an abundance Of sun
shine during the whole period of childhood,
are the secrets of beauty in after life"

How ToAD PULLS OFF HIS PANTS.
writer in the North Carolina Farmer tells us
the following:
"About the middle Of July I found toad
on hill Of melons, and not wanting him to
leave, hoed around him. He appeared slug
gish, and not inclined to move. Presently
! observed him pressing his elbows against
his sides, and rubbing downward. He APP
pesred SO singular that watched to see what
he was up to. After few smart rubs his
skin began to burst open straight along his
back. Now, said I, old fellow, you have
done it; but he appeared to be unconcerned,
and kept on rubbing until he had worked
down all his skin into folds on his sides and
hips; then grasping one hind leg with his
hands, he hauled off one leg of his pants the
same as any body would, then stripped the
other leg the same way He then took his
cast-off cuticle forward, between his fore-legs
into his mouth, and swallowed it; then, BY
raising and lowering his head, swallowing
as his head came down, he stripped off the
skin underneath until it came to his fore-legs,
and grasping one Of these with the opposite
h<Td, by considerable pulling stripped off the
skin; changing hands, he stripped the other,
and by slight motion of the head he drew
1t from the throat and swallowed the whole.
The operation seemed to be an agreeable one,
and occupied but a short time"

The TRIAL OF Mr.. DAvIs.-The trial of
Jefferson Davis will take place before Uni
ted States Circuit Court, but the particular
one has not yet been designated. There
seems to be no Importance attached to the
fact that the Grand Jury of the District of
Columbia, some months ago, found a true
bill against him for constructive treason in
sending his troops to operate against Wash
ington in the summer of 1864. The Grand
Jury Of the Court at Knoxville has also in
dicted him for treason for there Davis Incl
ted the people against the United States Gov
eminent.
The trial cannot, however, take place in
that town Or at other places in the 10th Ju-
dicial District, for the reason that the vacan-
cy occasioned by the death of Assistant JUS
tice Catron has not yet been filed AS the
military operations against the United States
were directed by orders given from Rich
mond it is probable that the trial will take
place in Virginia, at Norfolk, in which event
Chief Justice Chase will preside, as that
State is embraced in the Judicial Circuit as
signed him.

CLERICAL EXCITEMENT IN Missouri.

CLERICAL EXCITEMENT IN M1ssoURI.-
There is great excitement among the clergy
in Missouri. It is reported and believed at
st. Louis that Archbishop Kenrick has mott
fed the clergy in his diocese that they must
not take the offensive oath prescribed by the
new Constitution under penalty Of being sus-
pended from their functions. The Presbyte-
rian, Southside Methodists, Baptists and
Episcopalians, also detest the oath, and one
Of the Episcopalian papers has issued an ad-
dress to the clergy of that State, advising
them to disobey the law. Opposition to the
oath is manifesting itself in all parts of the
State, but Governor Fletcher has expressed
his intention to enforce the law. As the
time approaches when the issue must be de-
cided, the anxiety of the people about the re-
suit is said to be becoming quite painful. -
Those clergymen who refuse to take the oath
will not be allowed to preach.

Manufactured Ice.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MS OFF e,
WASHINGTON, August 27, 1865.

We find the following in recent issue Of
the Louisville Journal:
It was published last winter that Capt.
Girarde, of Augusta, Ca, had invented an
engine by which he could rapidly manufac-
ture ice Of the finest quality. The Louisville
Journal laughed little at the idea. A dis
tinguished Kentuckian, just from Augusta,
called on us yesterday, with a pleasant mes
sag to the Journal from Captain Girarde,
and confirmed all the latter has published.
The Kentucky gentleman visited Captain
Girarde's establishment, where he saw a
small engine, about six feet long, turn out
in ten minutes solid cylinder Of ice oftwen-
ty Or twenty four inches in length, and from
eighteen to twenty-four in circumference
as transparent as the finest ice from the
Northern lakes. The inventor now supplies
the city Of Augusta with the cool and cooling
article, and he says that when he shall get
his establishment into full operation upon the
scale he contemplates, he will be able to fur
|nlsh Ice at one cent per pound.

Mr.. Davis and the Starvation Of Union Sol.

The letter of the new American correspon-

evidence respecting the starvation of Union
soldiers in rebel pris ons is irresistible, has

Guards, writes as follows to the Times of the

The Mobile Advertiser, in reply to accu-
sations against the South, says $50 far from
'robbing the poor negroes of their labor the
difficulty is to get their labor for wages which
would be deemed exorbitant at the North -
The South is full Of work to be done, and in
cities and on plantations the cry is for labor
ers for liberal compensation. In the face
OF this demand the negroes are roaming
about the country, or clustering around the
towns, picking up precarious existence,
and, as natural consequence, sickenine and
dying by thousands. A gentleman lust from
Memphis tells US that $4,000 of these No
mans are squatted around the outskirts of
that city, the men doing nothing and the
women dependent on what they can gain from
the troops. Sickness and death are holding
high carnival in their midst And do we Of

LINES TO MY CLASSMATES.
BY FRANK MAYFIELD.


Long months have sped and years have fled
Since last we met in classic hail.
And Time has wrought and changes brought
Their joys and pains alike to ALL
But memory true will oft review
The hallowed scenes of long
When side by side we were allied
In aspirations earnest dow
For cherished love of wisdom S. store,
Our anxious hearts and minds to fill,
We shared the toll DER midnight oil
To drink the sweets which Truths distill.
And that bright band, who, hand in hand,
Together tread the rugged way
Which Science opes to human hopes,
Are scattered now oh, where are they2
Alas how few of those we knew
Within the throne of mental drill,
In other years, which love endears,
OF our old class remaineth still
Affair and wide, DER life's fond tide
Our barques are gliding far apart;
But the mystic tie will never die
Which friendship wove around the heart
Twill ever bring bright offering
Of CHEEKY smiles and rosy dreams,
That will illume the dark ming gloom
Which from our lives shuts out the beams.
And when they strand, oh F! may our band
Of faithful Pilgrims all unite
In realms of bliss, of happiness,
Far upward in celestial light.

A Woman made to talk After being mute
Twenty-Five Years-an Unparalleled Case.
CAMBRIDGE CRY, IND,
Aug. Is, 1865.

Eds. Gazette Ordinarily the gift of CAB"
is too well developed in the female sex, and
he that could be 50 fortunate as to devise some
means to stop that unruly member, would be
hailed as public benefactor; but there is,
lii an oasis in the desert, an occasional
case where it is good that woman be made
to talk
Such case having come under my imme-
date observation, and being one not easily
accounted for by medical writer's, and totally
unknown to the M. DIS think it impor-
tant the particulars should have publicity.
About twenty-five years ago, Miss Per-
melia Barnell, who was then, and is now, a
resident Of Jacksonburg, in this county, and
at the time about fifteen years Of age, while
attending camp meetings in this vicinity,
and IN the act Of prayer, went into trance,
in which mood she remained for about eleven
days, at the expiration Of which time she was
attacked with alphonia, and from that time
until yesterday she conld convey her thoughts
only by manipulation, having not uttered a
syllable during the time. Being conversant
with the facts above stated, and having no
ticed that soldier who had lost his speech
under the excitement Of great battle, and
whose case had baff1ed the skill of the experts
of the army was made to talk by imbibing
freely of the ardent it was source of much
qualification to me to get the consent of the
lady to try the experiment, as it will no doubt
be source Of rejoicing to her numerous
friends. Having procured for her a pint Of
the best secale ontiqualna, she began to i'm
bibe it about ten o'clock yesterday morning,
and in ordinary time, using common parlance,
became beautifully drunk. After lying in
a comatose state for two hours, at which time
she began to sober off, to the utter astonish-
ment Of all present, she began to talk, at first
slowly, but afterwards with as much ease as
if the gift had never departed, and this morn
ing continues to talk as glibly as if she was
an adept in the matter. The case causes
much surprise in this part of the country,
and will no doubt interest number Of your
readers, and mayhap some one similarly af-
ficted may, by proper application, be re-
lieved. 1t may be we'll to state that Miss B.
was prior to her loss ofspeech, troubled with
chorea, or commonly called Saint Vitus
Dance.
Very truly,

concealed by curtain until the ladies should
give the signal for their exposure. The por-
trait of the English lady, we will here re-
mark, had, by her request, been hitherto
seen only by the artist. There was mys-
terry in this arrangement which piqued ex-
cessively the curiosity of the painter, and he
was anxious to witness the denouement.
The next day at eleven o'clock everything
was in readiness, and the painter awaited the
solution of the mystery. The first person
who presented himself was Sir Frederick
Stanley he was very radiant.
Congratulate me, mon cher" said he.
"Read that"
Ernest took an open note from his hand
and read as follows -
''Bc at the studio of Ernest Lavalle to-
morrow at eleven You will there receive a
present, which, if there be any truth in mans
VOWS, will certainly delight you.
Rose"
The establishment and disappointment of
Ernest was at its height, when the door
opened, and the actress entered, followed by
a female closely yelled.
"You are true to your appointment, Sir
Frederick" said the actress, gaily, "and
your punctuality shall be rewarded"
She advanced to the farther easel, and
lifting the curtain, disclosed the features of
the English lady.
''Ihis is for you, she said laughing.

claimed the baronet.
Accompanied by the original p said Lady
Stanley, as she unveiled and advanced. -
''Sir Frederick, Sir Frederick! when you
were amusing yourself by paying unmeaning
attentions to this young lady, [ am afraid
you forgot to tell her you had wife in Eng
land"
Il thought it unnecessary" stammered
the baronet
"How could you disturb the peace Of mind
Of a young girl, when you could not requite
her Affection" continued Lady Stanley
ut was only Irritation, to pass the time, .
said Sir Frederick, ''but I acknowledge il
was culpable. My dear Emeline, I thank
you for your present. shall ever cherish
it as my dearest possession to your
self"
'For you, sir" said the beautiful actress,
turning to Ernest, II cannot think of depriv-
ing you of your best effort. Take the por-
trait. wish the subject was worthier ,
and she withdrew the curtain from her pic
ture.
II am ungrateful," said Ernest, in low
and tremulous tone. ''Much as [ prize the
picture, | can never be happy without the
original"
els it 50 ?" replied the actress, in the same
low tone of emotion then, placing her hand
timidly in his. she added, ''The original is
yours?
Sir Frederick and Lady Stanley claimed
the privilege Of witnessing the nuptials of
Ernest and Rose, whose welded life com
mence dunder the happiest auspices.
