In the Wirz trial, on Wednesday, let
ter written in 1868, by Robert Ould, Rebel
Commissioner for the Exchange Of Prison
ers, was read, in which he congratulated the
Rebel Government on the successful working
of the arrangements for the exchange Of
prisoners. In commenting on the condition
of the Union men who passed through his
hands, he said, "We get rid of most mis-
cradle set Of wretches," while the Rebels he
received from the North in return for the
''wretches' are reported rs ''some of the
best material | ever saw" Judge Advo-
cate Chapman submitted portion of his ar
gument for the prosecution. An argument
for the defense was also submitted. 1t gives
a synopsis of the evidence adduced in the
prisoners behalf, and claims that for the cru
elites alleged Of general character, the &C.
cused was not personally responsible. As
to the charge Of killing, beating and other
outrages upon Union prisoners, it was argued
that the testimony was too vague to materi-
ally influence the Court

The BONE MANIA,-It is invariabl,

The BONE MANIA,-It is invariably
the case that when ''the show" comes to
town, it always finds more or less people,
who become so 'struck' with the witticsms
and some of the performances of the actors,
that they continue to repeat and try to imi.
tate to such degree as to make themselves
truly ridiculous, and offensive to respectable
and sensible people.
Since "rhe Great Metropolitan Show was
here, every little urchn "knee high to a
grasshopper," has a pair of old bones which
he carries at all times, and goes about the
streets cracking them, no doubt to the great
amusement of himself, but to the disgust of
all good citizens. The boys were so much
pleased with the performances of Brother
Bones that they have ever since been try
ing to initiate him; but, alas for the boys !
they can do nothing but keep up continual
"rattlng among the dry bones" without
producing the least musical sound.
If the boys were aware of what low and
vulgar practice this bone cracking is, they
would desist from it. Those who follow
such profession are certainly unworthy of
being patterned after. Then lay aside the
bones, boys, and when you see an object
worthy of imitation, pattern after it, and al
ways hereafter be sure your right, and then
go ahead.
