fore, as he had been connected with an ambu-
lance train. He met his death in this way
There was man struck by solid shot, it cut
ting one of his legs nearly off. The poor fellow
was bleeding to death, but if brought off would,
in all probability, get WE'LL Broad was the only
man who would volunteer to get out and fetch
him in. 1t was almost certain death for any
man "but," said Broad, 81 have neither wife
nor child to suffer if am killed )" SO out he
went, and picked him up, put him on his shout
der and brought him in safely, though the bull
lets flew like hail around him. He came in SO
promptly that we all thought he had escaped the

Early in the eng agement, when the rebels had

MASTERING OUT THE
VETERAN RESERVES.

IL 1l1t4A4A -1OAAFCAA-Ae ' LAM
There has recently been great anxiety on the
part of the '62men of the Veteran Reserve Corps
to get out of the service under the order applying
to other troops whose term of service expires be-
fore Oct. LIST. On the Both of May last order
similar to this, applying to troops in the Depart
ment of Washington was issued, but that was
not held applicable to the ". r. CTS. Since, the
War Department feeling the Justice of the case
have been at work in favor of this class of men,
and we now understand that an order is about
to be issued emitting all enlisted men of the "
r. c. who, if they had rem ained in the field with
their original volunteer organizations from
which they were transferred would, under any
existing orders, be entitled to muster out with
their original regiments--,ciun ow be immediately
dischargedth service
Thus, if soldiers original regiment has been
discharged, or comes under any existing orders
for discharge, he being in the v. r. CTS is not
debarred from the benefit of the same order to
muster out and t',s ordc. er titles him to imme
oiare o1st1als g. 1t also takes in sGa1 1867 men OF
the v. r. c. whose terms of service expire before
Oct. 1st and such men are entitled to immediate
discharge whe Their their regiments are yet dis
charged or not.
We glad this vexed question has been
finally settled, and settled so favorably to the
soldiers 1nCefeSteQ. Wnen LOrQ Nelson was go
ing into battle at Trafalgar he exclaimed "Eng-
land to-day expects every man to do his duty"
We hope every officer of the v. r. G. will hoist
this flag, and will muster out these men with
the least possible delay. They will thus have
the gratitude of those leaving and left tehind.-
The officers of the V. r. CTS generally men
of fine education, used to the regulations, and
we doubt not they will obey the order promptly.
-----@-- -'s-----------
WE have been solicited from several quarters,
says the Tribune, to join in an cutlery against the
Government for allowing recently enlisted sol
diers to be mustered out of service and holding
veterans who have re-enlisted to remain. We
cannot see that this is wrong. The Government
wants not many but good men, and one veteran
is worth two recruts-for present service. And,
there is little left to be done but eat the rations
we trust our soldiers who "hold over" will not
weary in we'll doing Z" Wait little longer"
and all who choose will doubtless be mustered
out. The fighting is over, only guard duty re-
mains. Those who re-enlisted last year and re-
ceived generous bounties therefor surely
stand few months more of camp life-vaiting
to il the fires of Secession nObly Quenched,
shall not again break out. Hold on!

THE NEW PROGRESS OF PICTURE
CLEANING,

Oil pictures of ancient date become clouded
by dust deposit; this can he wiped of. They
also are obscured by an opacity in the varnish
surface; this can be scraped away, but rarely
without serious detriment to the pictures. Too
mauy fayed aud glaring wrecks of what were
once noble efforts ofpictorialart exist to warn
the artist covetous of immortality; but the
professors process gives US hope that their
numbers need not be increased that the pie
ture cleaners noxious vocation will soon be
finally superseded. Science has disclosed the
true means of restoration. The opacity of the
yarDish arises from molecular change; the
resinous particles of which it is composed be-
come displaced 10 course of time, and when
so displaced their transparent quality is lost
These atoms, once restored TO their original
cohesion, recover lucidity and this can be efr
fected by exposing the surface of the'picture
to the fumes of alcohol. The spirit when alb
sorbed evsporates; the varnish coating has
received new life, and is left as hard as it was
before-perhaps harder. The hand of man
throughout the operation has never approach
ed the surface of the picture. Prof Petten-
koefer has patented this application ofalcohol
and the apparatus by which it is effected, but
with great liberality he placed it freely ct
the disposal of the authorities of the National
Gallery. After preliminary experiments, it
has been tried with complete success, under
Mr.. Wornum's personal superintendent, on
sixteen of the pictures in the public collection
"With such results'' our authorities consider
it 'but just to the liberal and scientific in
ventor to express favorable opinion as TO the
utility of the tprocess;" though they have no
better means of advertising their opinion of
its merits than an unread appendix to this
years estimates.-[ Pail Mall Gazette

THE FRENCH EMPERoR's FARM.

The Emperor's farm of Cucuffa is one oil
the most picturesque and thoroughly country
spots in the environs OF Paris, and easily
reached via 81. Cloud, or by the more enjoy
able route of Versailles. 1he woods of Gls-
tigny, through which by-path leads down
wooded ravine, are rocky and wild in the
extreme; the overhanging branches of the
trees which border the narrow road to Gu
cuffa, makes the way thereto gloomy and
somewhat mysterious. A low gate, unguarded
by porter or sentinel, opens into wood of
magnificent pine and the finest oaks have
seen 10 France. A lake gemmed with white
and golden ne1suplsars beyond, a shorn grass
lawn, dotted over by small, black Breton
cows, the farm chalets of his Maj esty, and the
richly wooded background in the distance,
form as pleasing bit of home scenery as any
artist could wish for as the subject of a pic
ture for the next exhibition. Under the wide
spreading branches of fine old planetree
are tables and few chairs, where the ladies
of ones party invariably insist on drinking
milk, or, as | was assured, "real cream"
brought by buxom Norman dame. high cap
and ALL whose husband, he cowherd, il
monarch, it appeared to me, of all he sur
veyed, save on Sundays, when his Majesty
graciously permits his liege subjects to visit
his favorite retreat.
On week days its gates are vigorously
closed, even to members of the household, as
it is then the resort of the Prince Imperial
when the Cosrt is at st. Cloud. The Empress
also constantly drives here in her low pony
carriage. The Emperor however, has rather
given up CucuffA of late, but for many years
he used to spend hours beneath lts shady
groves, qui incog. The central chalet has
a tiny drawing-room, boudoir and bedroom,
fitted up with exquisite simplicity. The ad-
joining woods are stocked with chevenil,
pheasants and hsres, and are specially pres
served for her Majesty's gun. The Empress
shoots over these preserves four or five times
every winter, and usually knocks over from
thirty to thirty-ive head of game. Princess
Metternich is a formidable rival in this art,
but whether by accident or on purpose am
not prepared to say, but the return always
brings her Highuess in as having shot at
least two head less than her Imperial com
panion. Villa Neuve.: pEtaDg is not far of,
and the Norman high.capped lady confded to
me, with sigh, her sad conviction that the
haras breeding stables) there now absorbed
his Majesty's attention, and that he had lost
all interest in his farm and his Breton cows
Curious to say, neither che nor her husband
seemed TO consider the Empress visit as a
compensation for the Emperor's neglect "Ce
n est past la meme chose" mournfully said
her husband, the cowherd Paris Cor. Lon

AN ODD SCENE AND AN ODD LAW.

A curious scene took place recently on the
Boulevard B>aumarchais. Monsieur Ban
advocate, out, accompanied by his dog, an
Italian greyhound of great beauty, suddenly
missed the animal, and retracing his stems.
overlook man of decent appearance with
the dog in his arms. The thief had already
removed the collar with the owners name an
address, and was endeavoring to stAe the
dogs cries. Being man of great muscular
power, M. B. on mastered the DELINQUENT.
and then offered him the choice either of
being consigned to the police or kneeling
down in the street and kissing the dog. The
thief, after some little hesitation choose the
latter alternative, and performed the cere-
mony, in the midst of the laughter and jeers
of the s,bystauders. Satisfaction being thus
given, M. B. was willing to allow the offen-
der to depart in peace; but some sergemts de
udle coming up insisted On taking him before
the Commissary of Police of the quarter. NJ.
B. accompanied the party to the office and
when there explained 10 tae Commissary that
he had acted in virtue OF an Old law of the
Burgundian Parliament never yet abrogated,
(Tite x, cap. 8, art. 81 a disposition thus
worded IF any man has stolen grey
hound voltrahuna, or a segusiave segutium, a
particular sort of hound used by the Gauls
for hunting the boar, or lurcher metruncul-
atns, we ordain that the guilty party be obliged
either to kiss sthe animal before the whole
people or to pay FIVE soils of gold to the mas
ter of the dog and two soils as fine'' The ad-
vocate concluded by interceding for the cul.
prit, on the ground that he had satisfied the
conditions of the law, but the Commissarv,
recognizing the man as an old offender. sent
him to the Prefecture.
