CLEANLINESS FoR Sw1NE.-It is a mis-
taken idea that swine prefer a state Of filth
10 one of cleanliness. Circumstances are
generally such, that they have little, if any
choice in the matter. Without cleanliness
10 ANIMAL either of the human or brute
species, can exist in health for any great
length of time. Filth invariably generates
disease, and when swine are allowed TO
wallow in dirty sly, in which they are
usually kept, they will not iatten as readily,
or do as we'll in other respects as when
kept in clearly condition.

HfOPIss Theatre.

Ford's Theatre inside presents a scene of
the greatest confusion. All the properties,
wardrobes, furniture, etc, are piled upon
the stage, preparatory to packing and re-
moving. The purchasers propose to pay
$4,000 to Mr.. Ford this week, when the
property will be conveyed to them. Stran-
gers in the city are continually calling and
asking admission to the building; but thus
far none have been admitted, save few
members of the press. Notwithstanding the
close surveillance of the guards who have
had the theatre in charge, the building has
been roughly used. Curiosity seekers have
completely whitfield away the bench upon
which peanut John" sat whilst holding
Booths horse, and about a yard square has
bee cut away from the green baize carpet,
surrounding the spot where Boots feet struck
when he jumped upon the stage, after shoot
ing the President. One of these curious
visitors entered the saloon adjoining the
theatre, where Booth took his last drink of
brandy Just before he murdered Mr.. Lincoln.
The visitor inquired of the bar keeper: "Have
you the same bottle on hand out of which
Booth drank on the night Of the assassina-
tion2" "Yes sir" "And the same brandy in
itl" "Yes sir" Can have drink of that
same brandy out of that same bottlel" "Yes
sir, Lets have It," The visitor tastes the
brandy, makes a wiry face and continues:
"And that's the same brandy that Booth
drankl" "Yes sir" swell, | don't wonder
that he killed the President. A drink OF
that brandy would make man kill his

Atlantic Telegraph

The new stock of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company sells in London at premium,
and old one thousand posnG shares at $500.
On the 21st of June the shareholders in
the Telegraph Construction Company visit
ed the Great Eastern by invitation from the
directors OF the Atlantic Company, and on
the following day Mr.. Adams, the American
Minister. ...
Mr. Adams, in returning thanks, said that
during the recent troubles he was selfish
enough to wish the cable might not be laid,
as he would have been overwhelmed with
kilograms but now he wished it every sue
cess, as he believed it would do more than
any other agency to strengthen the bonds
of union between the two countries. The
interests and object of Great Britain had all
along been to maintain peace, and now that
the contest which had distracted the United
States had been put an end to, the sole
object they had in view was peace also.
No more visitors were to be admitted on
hoard of the Great Eastern before she sail
ed. ..
The present condition of the cable was
all that coulG be desired. and those most
interested in it seemed to be perfectly conf
dent of its complete success.
The whole twenty three hundred miles of
the Atlantic telegraph cable was or board
the Great Eastern, and as soon as the balance
of the paying out machinery was put up,
the telegraph feet would sail for Valentia,
and it was hoped before their departure
from Nalentia, that United States Govern
ment steamer would join them. . ...
The vessels will probably leave Valentia
on the 10th of July, and arrive at Hearts
Content, Trinity Bay, about the Gath of
July. '....

cided on the following uniform tariff be.

British North America.

The Rebel Leaders.

Not a voice or hand is now raised against
the Government of the United States
Every rebel General and every rebel leader
that has spoken or written, has yielded to
the fiat of arms, and counsels that obedience
to the Federal authority which the hunted,
hurried, and oppressed people are only too
ready to render Howell Cobb, says the
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, "counsels on the
part of the people cheerful and prompt
obedience to the Constitution and laws OF
the country. He believes that slavery is
forever dead but he is not at all despondent
as regards the future of the South; on the
contrary, he believes that bright future
is ahead, and thinks it only remains fo- the
people to put forth their best energies
toward developing the resources of the
country, to ensure commercial prosperity
and success. When asked his probable
fate, he replied that he thought it would be
the same as that of all the original Seces-
sionists before the war, and those who had
occupied the same position with him since.
He expressed confidence in :he ability
and integrity of President johnson, and
thought his course toward lis would be con
ciliatory"

Tennessee, has taken the oath, and been
pardoned by his former contrere, Andrew
johnson. James L. Ord, writing from An
dersonville, South Carolina, demands com
plete submission to the General Government
and declares it to be a miserable hope that
a rebel corps in Texas could hold Out
against what was strong enough to beat
Lees and Johnston's armies. Pryor, one
of the first of the insurgents, is now one OF
the most decided supporters of the regular
authorities. Mallory is prisoner, and his
letters are full of earnest protestations of flu
ture loyalty. All the rebel State Governors
except Harris, of Tennessee, are either
paroled or in confinement. Lee, Johnston
Longstreet, Ewell, Early, not only do not
ubjUUt TO their fato, hnt adnpt themselves tn
it with all the philosophy they can com

They are the assurances of the completest

its assailants and foes, will hencetorth bG

@- -BELLIcosE.-As there is no longer
any war news to occupy the columns of the
Press, our neighbors of the Gazette and
Democrat have managed to get up a small
war on their own hook. In their skirmishes,
they of course sometimes indulge in flights
of fancy or even extravaganzas. In the
latter, we think our neighbor Purdy has
entirely eclipsed his competitor Of the Ga
zette who will find it extremely difficult to
get ahead of the following, which we Clip
from the Democrat of last week:
"No purer patriot or better man never
"lived upon this coRtihent than James Bu'
"chanan." ..f .+ ..r..

tinent. There are but few intelligent mer

The Penalty Of REBELLION.

The New York Times, speaking of the
pecuniary loss sustained by the South from
their folly, remarks: .f#s.. .-........I
-. We have enumerated Southern losses, in
consequence of the war, to the amount OF
fee thousand eight hundred millions of dol
lars, namely: twenty five hundred millions
by loss of what was called slave property,
nine hundred millions by loss of staple crops,
ive hundred millions of property sunk in
Confederate debt, ESTIMATED AT gold value, }
and one thousand millions by what must
hereafter be paid by the South to liquidate
principal and interest of the national debt
This, of course, is very rough estimate
We might have included many other items
involving Indirect, though not less certain,
losses. Rough as the estimate is, it falls
short of the actual truth. 0ol -.4 ol .

a Grasshopper Plague Coming.


The Milwaukee ONisconsin) Sentinel, of
June 10th, says: .....
seen. Sully in private letter from
Sioux City, gives the following interesting
account of the grasshopper plague which is
desolating the region of country he has ira
versed. He says: The only thing spoken
about here is the grasshoppers. They are
awful they have actually eaten holes in
my wagon covers and in the 'paulins that
cover my stores. A soldier on his way laid
down to sleep in the middle of the day on
the prairie-the troops had been marching
all night. His comrades noticed him COW
cred with grasshoppers, and woke him.
His throat and wrists were bleeding from
the bites of these insects. This is no fiction.
''Last year, about five days march from
the Yellow Stone, we met the army of grass
hoppers on their way east. After that
suffered greatly for grass, and many of my
animals died. The grasshoppers made a
general cleaning down to this place, and
here disappeared. This year they appeared
very small, at first, but they are fast grow
ing, and getting wings. when / suppose
they will start somewhere else. These in
sects that have appeared this year are no
doubt from the eggs of last year, for there
are none above Randall, or far east OF this.
