A WArERFALL.-A mOrtifying but lu-
dicrous incident occurred yesterday, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer OF July 10th, on
Fourth street, near the Post Office. A
lady of most expensive exterior was gil.
ding gracefully up the street. when the
net. work containing the bunch Of hair on
the back Of the head, became in some
way detached. and shocking TO relate,
fell to the ground. carrying along its hir.
suite contents which is known in fashion.
able parlance as 9 waterfall. The lady.
who immediately became conscious of the
catastrophe paused, ,blushed through the
powder, and was in the act Of STOPPING to
recover the head gear, when an unman-
nerly dog, of the Scotch terrier perSua
sion, mistaking it probably for rat,
pounced upon it, seized it between his
teeth and commenced shaking the queer
looking article with . vehemence that
must have placed his own neck in danger
Of dislocation. The whole proceeding was
so irresistably comical that it excited the
merriment of the bystaNders, who indul.
ged in an ungallant guffaw, as the abash
ed fair one beat q hasty Eetreat to the
opposite CORNER. leaving her waterfall g
prize to the pestiferous terrier.

LET TIE Truth BE ToLD.-We have seen
a number Of the soldiers of the 18th and
other Connecticut regiments who have
been prisoners at AndersOnville. Among
them is gentleman who was detailed as
a clerk to the Confederate Commander at
Andersonville and he informs US that he
knows from the official record that the
Richmond authorities directed that the
prisoners should receive the same rations
that were allowed to the rebel soldiers -
He says there were about 80, 900 prisoners
there at time, and about 200 of them
were detailed to do certain duties. and
among these duties was the collection and
distribution of the food. He AYERS that
frauds were practiced by some Of the men
upon their own fellow soldiers, and upon
one occasion six Federal prisoners were
tried and hung by their own comrades
for the robberies.
But he says, and several others with
whom we have cOnverSed confirm his
statement, that the rations, though coarse,
were sufficient to sustain well men, and
there were no deaths by starvation Sick
men there, as at other stockades both on
that side and this, had hard time of it,
as it was a rough place for nursing the
sick, and though -four, instead of meal,
was given to the sick with gruel,s they
suffered for the want Of necesSares and
comforts which the sick demand. But all
through the war, in camp and stockade,
the same fact was apparent.
We only desire to present the truth,
and the evidence is abundant that the
COnfederates did not starve the prisoners
in their hands. The war is over. We
are to live under a common Government
with people Of the South. If there is any
credit to be gained for our nation, or any
advantage to be derived except to glut
the cursed passions of blood thirsty
wretches, in laboring to prove that the
late war was characterized by features
worse than barbarOus. we are unable to
comprehend it-Hartford Times.

The HAPPY WoMAN.-In this our world
which is apparently meant 10 be the road

end too few specimens to be ever likely
to mistake her But you will recognize
her presence the moment she crosses your
path. Not by her extreme livelineSs, for
lively people seldom are happy or able to
diffuse happiness, but by sense Ofbright-
ness and cheerfulnOss that enters with
her-as an evening sunbeam across your
parlor wall. Like the fairy Order in the
nursery tale, she takes up the tangled
threads Of your mind and reduces them
to regularity till you distinguish . clear
pattern through the ugly maze. She may
be neither handsome nor clever, nor en-
tertalning, yet somehow she makes you
feel : comfortable" because she is so CON-
Portable herself. She shames you out Of
your compIainings, for she makes none.
Yet mayhap, since it is the divine law
that we should all, like our Master, be
"made perfect through suffering" you
are aware that she has had far more sor-
row than ever you had; that her daily
path, had you to tread it, would be to you
as gloomy and full of pitfalls IS to her it
is safe and bright. She may have even
less than the medium lot Of earthly bless.
ings, yet all she has she enjoys to the
full and it IS so pleasant to see any one
enjoy For her sorrows, she neither hyp.
ocritically denies. nor proudly smothers
them-she simply bears them therefore
they come to her as sorrows we're meant
to come, naturally and handsomely, and
passing over, leave her full Of compassion
for all who may have to do the same. -
