EXTRAORDINARILY LASGUAGE.-A corres>
pondent Of the Gazette is almost beside him
self with the excitement produced by reads
ing tine extraordinary language of Gen.
Sreedmau when addressing the people, white
and black, of Augusta, Ga. The Gazette
correspondent says he used the IN ost ''extrl>
ordinary language and that as nearly as
possible it was as fellows =
Myself and General Fullerton have been
sent among you BIZ the United States gov
ernmeGt, to examine into the conduct of the
officers connected with the Freedmen bu>
reau. We want to fad ont whether these
officers have been attending to their duties
properly, as they ought, 10 have been, or
whether they have been filling their pockets
bv running their plantations On their own
hook, and feeding the freedmen who do the
work for them upon government rations."
Now il strikes US that if this Is ''extraor-
dinary language the public would be bene>
fitted by hearing enough of it to make it or
dinary. If it Is alarming and incendiary to
have inquiries made whethe er agents of the
government are stealing. il might be
well to ring the alarm bells and fire the big
guns until the sensitive become accustomed
to tie noise. Upon the whole we feel u.:der
obligations to General Ste edman for his
temerity il using 'extraordi mary language

A STRANGE SToRY.-A lady residing ia
Campton, New Hampshire, recently owned a
dog, which, because of age and infirmity,
had ceased to be of use. One day recently
she remarked to laboring man connected
with the family. that she would give half
dollar if lie would take tie old fellow off out
of The way and kill him. The servant prom
ised to do SO if he might have the dogs
skin, to make therefrom. for his OWN use and
comfort, pair of gloves. At this stage in
the conversation. the old dog. who had been
lying quietly on the hearth, arose. and giv>
ing the consPiratOrs look, more in sorrow
than IN anger, left the house. On rise Of
ground not far away ne stopped and gave a
lingering gaze at the house and vicinity, then
plunged into the woods, never TO return
He never was seen or heard of afterwards.

RAzoRs.-The simplest method Of sharp.
ening a razor is said to be, to place the blade
for about a half hour IN water, TO which one.
twentieth OF its weigh, of sui phuric or muri,
attic acid has previously been added. Upon
.akiHg the rozor out, wipe it off lightly, and
. few hours afterwards set i, on a strop. The
acid thus supplies the place of whetstone,
by corrodin- the entire surface uniformly,
SO that nothing but coed polish IS after
wards needed. 1t i. stated that thi, process
never Injuries good razors, whilst poor ones
are often Improved by it. This mode of
sharpening may be used with advantage for
any kind Of edge tools.

.sNsver despair" saws Profess or Jeannet

Never despair says Profess or Jsannet,
Of Bordeaux; "your coal fields N iay fail, but
acetate OF soda will at any rate prevent your
noble race from perisbiEg during that gloo>
my British winter" This sub,ta nee affords,
in fact, says the Professor, a mea ms Of '.stcr-
ing up the solar heat" Its peculiarity is,
that while it crystallizes when exposed, in
solution. to very slight degree Of cold, it will
cool without crystalizing if placed in a closed
vessel. Cooling thus, it retains the greater
part of tho caloric which it had absorbed
while being melted and this caloric is given
off the moment the bottle is uncorksu or the
jar uncovered. n. Jeannet has proved it.

Novel Employment.

The New Orleans 7imss tells story Of a
man who some years ago was doing an ex'
teusive business in that city, and, owing 10
his singular blending of roughness and Sc ver-
ity with gentleness, acquired the SouGriY,'ct
Of the :. Artful Dodger." One cold NoYem>
Der morning an urchiu applied TO him for
assistance. and, in answer to his sharp inter
rosatsrieS, the boy stated that his mother
was widow and supported herself by her
needle, and during the summer She had been
attacked with the yellow tfver, and had not
yet recovered from the debility which II had
produced. Up TO this time the boy had been
going to school, and. expected to enter the
high school. but was compelled to 90 to work.
For some time the Dodgar sat buried in pro-
found thought then suddenly turning round
he stared the petitioner full il: the face, and
thus delivered himself.

He then turned to his desk, scribbled off a
note, and then took six two dollar and half
gold pieces out of his safe, which hs placed
in the boys hand, and told him to deliver
the letter.
A few days since the old mans missive
came to light, which read thus

AG NTS A D !,
b E A D LEY'S HISTORY
OF THE
G & REBELLION.

HsHE late Rebellion stands out peculiar and
i extraordinary in human events; and the
MAGNIFICENT SCALE upon which the war has
been conducted, constitute it one of the
GRANDEsT AND MOST BRILLIANT CHAP
TIERS IN THE WORLDS HISTORY.
Mr.. Headley, of ali writers, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the stupendous features
of the mighty contest. His previous works
on less momentous themes have placed him
in the first position, as a GRAPHIC AND POWER
Full DELlEEAToR OF WAR SCENES AND cHARAc-
TIERS, and the magnitude and grandeur of the
present subject, impartt to his pen the fire and
vigor of a get more exalted inspiration, and
furnish ample scope for the HIGHEST EXHIBIT.
TIoE OF HIS PECULIAR GENIUS FOR MILITARY DE-
scRIPTIoN. Under his powerful pen the STIR
ring scenes of the War pass ia review with
the vividness and distinctness of a present
and living reality; while his GREAT TALENT FOR
CONDENSATION enables him to embody every
thing Of Importance in A COMPASS JUST SUITED
TO THE PUBLIC WANT. From no other source
can so CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE AN IMPRESSION
OF THE GRAND MARCH OF EVENTS be obtained so
easily and agreeably, as from Mr. Headley's
work.
The Second Volume, completing the Work
(also complete in ONE voLuME,) will be issued
in March, 1856. Agents wanted to engage in
its sale in every town in the United States
Its rapid and unparalleled sale holds out tC
INDUSTRIOUS and PERsEvERINe men the mos
