The War.

The latest advices from Brazil and Par
aguay give a mass of additional informa-
ton of much interest regarding the war
between Paraguay and the allies. The
rumors of prospects of Immediate peace,
which for a time received considerable
credence, owing to the announcement that
a dispatch of some kind had been sent by
Lopez, President of Paraguay, to the Ar
gentine President, had come to be gene
rally discredited, and troops and war mu-
nitions were still being sent forward to
the scene of hostilities. The retreat Of the
ParaguayanE continued, and they had
been driven entirely from the foreign ter
ritory which they invaded and across the
Parana river to their own soil, at the Dor
ders of which, on the banks of that river,
it was reported theallied armyhad arrived
in the latter part of November. The
Brazilian feet too was pushing steadily
up the Paran8 towards the Paraguayan
capital, to meet and cooperate on the
river with the allied land forces. Mean
while, however, Lopez, though falling
back before a superior force, was far from
idle. Formidable water Instructions,
strong fortresses and garrisons of con-
siderable numbers stood in the way of the
continued advance of the Brazilian ships,
and the Paraguayan dictator had a large
and well drilled army to stand in the path
of the opposing allies OF land.

An Illinois LaWTsr aDoIng Wen"

There were few ADLER lawyers in the
State of Illinois during the past quarter of
a century than the late Judge Purple of
Peoria. He was the author of several i'm
portant law books. By his entire deyo-
ton to his profession, he had attained
merited selebrity as a advocate and
iurist.
Some years since, Judge p, when in
the city of Washington, met with a gen.
tleman from Boston, who, upon learning
that the Judge was from Illinois, made
particular inquiry as to the success of a
young sprig of the law by the name of
B. who had emigrated West some
five years before.
"He is doing very we'll" very promptly
replied the Judge.
HE isl Well, I am glad to hear it
glad to hear it, indeed"
"You think he has a good practice, do
you, Judge2"
"Don't know anything about his prac-
tiee," replied Purple. But he is doing
well-ucceeding finely"
making money, then, is he ?"-persisted
Boston.
II tell you I don't know anything
about his business, " said Purple.
"Well," said the Boston man, "You
seem to think he is doing well, and yet
you know nothing about his practice or
business. What do you mean Z"
at mean this" said Purple. "That
any man who practices law in Illinois five
years, and who keeps cut of the Peniten-
tiary, is doing well, whether he has prae-
tice or not!'

Zen as q Beverage.

According to the investigations made by
NJ. Peligot, in regard to the chemical COM
binations of tea, and communicated by
him to the French Academy of Science,
that article is found to contain essential
principals of nutrition; far exceeding in
importance its stimulating properties, be-
ing in every respect one of the most desir-
able articles Of general use, and deoi 1edly
superior TO soup in its nutritious qualities.
NJ. Liebig also gives as his opinion, based
on accurate chemical research, that in re-
spect both to tea and coffee, their benef-
cial effect on the health is very great,
and is due to the substance, "theine," or
"cafine," and that those two are in re-
spects identical. He thinks that they are
Justly to be considered as elements of food
for organs as yet unknown, which are des-
tined to convert the blood into nervous
substance, and thus recruit the energy of
the moving and thinking faculties.-Scisn-

Two virginias-EHOrts for Re

The Legislature of Virginia have
ADDICTED a report and resolutions, express
ing Hsincers affection" for their brethren
in West Virginia, and pledging the adOp-
ton of proper means cooperation "to re-
unite and maintain the original integrity
of Old Virginia" The resolutions pro-
vide for the appointment Of commission
ers, to proceed forthwith to the seat of
Government of West Virginia, for the
purpose of communicating these resolu-
tions and report to the Governor and
General Assembly of that State, with au-
thority to treat on the subject of the res
t~oration of the State of Virginia to its
ancient jurisdiction and boundaries; with
authority, also, to treat with the authori-
ties of West Virginia for the adjustment
of the public debt of Virginia, due or in
Cured previous to the dismemberment of
the State, and for a fair division Of the
public debt. The Commissioners are in
structed by the resolutions to forbear or
suspend any any action OF the subject of
adjusting the debt of the State, or a di-
vision of the public property, if in their
opinion, the probable restoration of the
State of Virginia to its ancient bounda-
ries may render an effort at such adjust
meut unnecessary. The action Of the
Commissioners is, in all respects, made
subject to the approval or disappvoval of
the General Assembly.

Mesdames Slower and Patterson, the
ladies of the White House, hold a public
reception every Tuesday evening, and a
adrawing-roam" every Friday afternoon.
Later in the season the President will also.
hold receptions, or "levees, as some peo-
pie will persist in miscalhng these even
ing gatherings. The wives of the men,
beers of the Cabinet, with the exception of
Mrs. Stanton, have general receptions"
at their respective houses on Wednesday
sfterRoe1s, 4ndnearly all Of them have
issued cards for two evening receptions, at
which there will be dancing and "feed.n
The Saturday receptions of Mrs. Senator
Sprague,- graeed by her sister, are pro.
nouncedthe most delightful of these gath
erings. There are also fashionable reunions
at the residences of Senators Harris,
Morgan, Trumbull, Pomeroy, Stockton
and Sherman, while Mr., Davis and other
Representatives are noted for their plea
SAINT parlors. A lady showed me yester-
day her visiting book, in which was re-
corded over seventy houses at which there
would be reception days next week; for
the wives and daughters of nearly all of
the civil, military and naval dignitaries
here domiciliated with their families are
also receiving on designated days. Of
course the calls are brief. The hostess is
charmed to find her looking se-well.
Toilettes are scanned at a glance, from
frizzied front hair down to CATER boot
then comes a remark about the weather,
or the marriage, Of Mrs Douglas, or Of
Miss De Trobriand, or the appropriation.
for Mrs. Lincoln. Some n else enters,
and the visitor eourtesies adieu, stopping
perhaps to gossip q few moments with q
fFiend-then on to the next house. And
so on, and so forth. --
Dinner parties are given by some of the
Diplomatic corps, who receive an allow
anee of table money therefor, and who
follow out the old European embassy
maxim that a road to q mans heart is
through his mouth. Several of the Secre-
taries and Of the Senators also give din
ner parties, and some of them give we'll
arranged and nicely cooked repasts,
handsomely served. Others hire o caterer
treated to badly cooked chicken, dis
guised with a French name, and served
on the same old plated dish that has been
used for years past wherever the same
caterer has been hired to serve. No
custom house officer ever pocketed a
share of a penalty for the alleged false
invoicing o much of the champagne sery-
ed at these State dinners, for it is unques-
tionably from some native cider press, and
