caught.
The girl maintained first, that she only
thought that the newspapers and the
clothes in the box would be burnt, and
the fire spread 40 further, as The sheet
was thrown upon the bed, and did not
hang down on the box, which was drawn
a little outside the bed, and afterwards
that she had no intention whatever of
any injury would have taken place, or
that any thing would have burnt, neither
that she thereby thought to have got rid
of her service, but that she had only done
it in play.
From the Investigations taking place, it
is however likely, that no prosecution
will be ordered, on account of her youth,
and all the circumstances of the case TAX
en- into consideration, but that she will
come off with the imprisonment she has
already sustained.

Statistics in which every unit means a
human life have naturally a powerful in

to count how many quarters OF wheat
have been imported from Galalz, how
many hides and hoofS have been sent to
US from the Rio de la Plata, how many
bales of cotton have been received from
Wilmington or Charleston, Alexandria or
Bombay; but when We come to the bills
of mortality the figures become animated
aad each single entry has "a pathOs and Il
meaning of its own. For many years
London has been the only city which kept
a weekly record of its dead. True TO the
good English instinct Of looking facts in
the face and making public every failure
or calamity, our officials have written
down upon their elaborate forms the rea-
son of the deaths of every man, woman, or
child who expired within the bounds of
The metropolis. From the Registrar

English observers, and the result OF this
bold publicity was that we all set TO work

war ended, the British army was in finer
condition than either lis enemies or its

concealment-that timid instinct which
locks the skeleton in the cupboard in-
stead of giving it decent sepulture in the
churchvard-has received, let us hope, its
death blow. A great nation, like an hon

[ want a General and from two to six
Colonels in each State, with as many regi-
ments thoroughly fitted out with all the
minor officers. There may be other work
yet for the army Of the American eagle to do
and it will be an honor to belong to it. We
will fight the battle at home, while our boys
in blue are in the field, and show them that
we are worthy Of them.
Hurrah boys and girls Let's 60 into
this work Ike soldiers, and let the army Of
the American eagle raise at least $4,000
for the Sanitary Fair. We can do it. Let
us say we will.
Our eagle army is succeeding so far be-
yond anything anticipated, that we have
concluded to award two really elegant prizes
to the boy and girl who shall sell the largest
number of pictures before the Fair opens.
Each shall receive a GOLD MEDAL of hon
or. These medals will bear appropriate in
scriptions and devices.
The successful competitors will be tele-
graphed as soon as the result is known, in
time for them to attend the Fair, where the
prizes will be publicly awarded to them in
the presence Of the eagle himself, and the
assembled dignitaries of the nation.
A great many Of the chief men and wo-
men Of our country will be here-we con
fidently hope the President and Mrs Lin
coin, Lieut. Gen. and Mrs. Grant, Gen. and
Mrs. Sherman, and many other Of the ma
TONS honored ones.
We offer these rewards not because the
boys and girls Of America need any other
incentive than exalted patriotism to work
for the soldiers, but because the hard work
ers should DC honored
The proceeds of the sale Of these pictures
will be applied to the purposes of the SAM
tary Fair.
Children will remember that we have no
agents of any kind for tie army of the
American eagle, or for our picture. All
children may act as recruiting officers, but
all money must be sent to the undersigned,
who alone can issue commissions.
We are now stereotyping a complete and
authentic history Of our soldier bird, to be
dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, which will
be published and sold at the Great Fair, for
the benefit Of the soldiers A copy Of this
book will be presented free Of charge to
ever Colonel and General Of the army Of the
