The Relic IIania.
An active competition has set in for relies Of
the war, and prices are rapidly going up. The
State and Municipal Governments are ambitious
for car non, torpedoes and bunting, and willprob-
ably monopolize these articles, leaving the small
er relics to be divided up among Individuals
The Massachusetts, Legislature and the City Of
| Lowell already rejoice in the possession of tho
torpedoes that were placed in Charleston harbor
TO blow up the monitors. The rush for Confed-
crate notes is prodgous, aud the printing pres
ses in New York striking off improved speci-
mems Of the real article, which find ready sale
among the crowd Of Yankee tourists and curios-
fly hunters in the South.'

the classic era, and limbs of saints, are manu-

eclipse even the Italian masters in this enter

sured, that all the necessary steam and machine
ry appliances will be set in motion to render the
supply equal to the demand. The relic hunters
may therefore take courage-there will be ecu

CHUBBY CHILDREN-It should be kept before
the people that babies ought to be plump. A
letter from Berlin contains the following upon
the subject ''To one who has just come from
America, think hardly anything is so striking
as to see such multitudes of children from six
years Of age, down to six weeks all ruddy,
plump and healthy. Look at the first five hun
dred you meet and that universal American
nuisance, crying baby is not to be seen. Why
should they cry? TAey have plenty of simple
food-no devouring of pound cake If the child
asks for bread they do not give him stone;
have plenty Of fresh air and play here, ard sleep
in their plump nurses arms and wake ndsleep
again. The children certainly do not l9ok so
delicately beautiful as with us-fairies, but frail
and fair still, were l parent, ] should thank
God for the honest, round, rosy, plump faces of
these Children. There is something wrong
with children that are not chubby, and some-i
thing wrong about children that are not full Of
fun and good humor.

SINGULAR CoNoIDENCEs.-It is curious that
the third instance of the success sion Of a Vice
President to the vacant chair of President is
marked as were the former instances, by the
fact that the vacancy occurs in the very early
part Of the term of Office. President Harrison
was inaugurated March ls4l, and died April
4 of the same year, one month after his inaugu-
ration President Taylor was inaugdrated eight
years later March 4, l849 and died July Of the
same year. about four mouths after entering Of
fee. Pres dent Lincoln was inaugurated for the
second term on March 4 1865, and was mur-
derod April IA, 1865, less than two months af-
ter the commencement Of the term Of Office.

WoMra VS.. GIRIs.-Women ought to be of
more Importance to society than girls, but who
does not know that the case is exactly the re-
verse; How many women do we all know who
shrink from society, give their whole time to
family duties bury themselves up at home and
seem to be of no other use in the world than TO
dress their girls for parties, and keep the house
in order for their beaux. OF conrse the children
grow up with the idea that mother is of no con-
sequence and don't know the world. They go
abroad for their opinions, and spdrn all home
influence.

The following simple process will make lead
pencil writing drawing as indelbe as if done
with ink; Lay the writing in a shallow dish
and pour skinned milk upon it. Any spots not
wet at first may have the milk placed upon them
lightly with q feather. When the paper is all
wet over with the milk, take it up and let tho
milk drain off, and whip with the feather the
drops that collect on the lower edge. Dry it
carefully, and it will be found to be perfectly
indelible. I. cannot be removed even With India
