Ofsalt-water bathing, for enc, I've had a
surfeit mo stamp on the pun, twas uninten-
toned }, so instead Of making a spooney salt
cellar Of myself / take a quiet shower-bath
in my own room, and Z IN 60 down to see
the fashionables at their wash. There may
be more ridiculous, laughter-proyoklng
scenes than this same healthy wash, but
haven't seen any Of them. The men orul-
narily 60 in rampant and come out shhli
the women 90 in with dignity and come out
changed Oh, the tricks and manners OF
life know them. Down TO the oeach
come prancing steeds, driven by handsome
Darkey; they draw carriage-ioad carnage
well lsolished) Of elegant men and lovely
women. Into the little houses go the sheep
on one side and the goats on the other
pretty soon they come out. The gentlemen
seem confident and look radient; they are
full-chested. and stalwart in their limbucu-
lar support-at least their blOuses are full
and their trousers are baggy. The ladies
wear little scolloped bits Of straw for hats
they also appear to be well developed above
and below: tkev greet their friends with
merry smiles, and hand in hand they enter
life's ocean, stepping gingerly on the pebbly
sand. giving their little shrieks Of anticipa'
ting fear. hugging closely the supporting
arm. and preparing for great feats Of watery
endesvor. Presently they disappear and
are hidden from observation. Then with
much noise, with screams and shouts and,
l regret 10 add, occasional yells, they boldly
advance 20 the shore The fat and stalwart
men no longer present a portly or even
rotund appearance; their hair and whiskers
are stringy, their blouses clasp a slender
chest. and like 4 cuticle shape 10 bony arms,
while the saturated trousers, jealous for
the truth, disclose a pair Of Acknowledged,
knobby-kneed, thin-boned, no-calved legs, Of
which Twist would have been ashamed in
his least cruelty days. And the ladies, how
about that hair? A hat was blown of and
foated far away, leaving an uncovered head.
Where, oh where, are all the rats and mice
where the buiges and Africaines? No one
answers. Why this round head, this sparse
settlement Of the capillary family, this little
compact knot Of hair pinned up behind? Oh,
Won false creatures! Then, tOO-fOr our OBJ
scrvations are entirely allowable this is a
public place, and the parade Of these cyclic
pedias Of fashions ways is public as the
too, what round backs and
hollow chests we see; what magnificent de-
velopment Of backbone at the expense Of the
breast; what little pointed knobs those are
Il the elbow; what slender supports are
those ungainly, ill-shaped limbs; but hold,
what's the use?

WONDERS OF TRAvEL.-A traveller who
claimed that he had visited the four parts Of
the world, was relating stories of his travels
and stated among other curiosities he had
seen one that was not mentioned by any
writer This marvel, he sal was cabbage
of such extraordinary size, that company Of
fifty horsemen could form in line of battle and
go through their evolutions beneath its leaves
One of his auditors without attempting to
contradict this extraordinary statement, took
off the speaker admirably.
Il have been as far as Japan" he said, "and
among other things | was somewhat surprised
at the size Of a cauldron, the manufacture Of
which engaged the labor of three hundred
workmen. One hundred and fifty were occu-
pied inside, polishing it,
"And to what use could such an Immense
pot be put ?" asked the first traveller.
SIT was probably intended" replied the
other, "to boil the cabbage you saw. ~

PISTOL SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY Capt.
Travis, Of the Pistol Gallery, states that one
OF the most remarkable teats in pistol shoot
ing that has come under his observation in his
periginations in the South since the close of
the war, was achieved at his gallery last week
by Mr.. Samuel K. Head, an attache of the
Savannah Herald. Mr.. Head first shot ten
shots at the target at deliberate aim, ringing
the bell seven times out of the ten. He then
placed bottle on the floor at distance of
twelve PAGES, setting a cork on the mouth of
the bottle and bullet on the top of the
cork. He was to hit the cork without break
ing the bottle, and drop the bullet into the
bottle. Mr.. Head dropped the bullet into the
bottle five times out of the ten trials, and did
not break the bottle. Mr.. Head is one of
Captain Travis pupils, having taken lessons
from him fifteen years ago, and the Captain is
justly proud of his performance -.Sapannah

TERRIBLE DEATH-An unfortunate ine-
briate, Joe Ralston, after having spent all his
cash in the doggeries of Pittsburg, Centre
county, Pennsylvania, was thrust out to find
his way home the best he could. Failing to
find the bridge across Mashannon, he boldly
dashed into the creek to wade across, his
limbs refused to perform their Office. He
grasped bough of an overhanging tree, un-
able to advance further, and soon the fast con-
gealing water cemented close about him a
tomb of ice, which stretched from shore to
shore. Two days after this, he was found
standing rigid as an iccle, his knees imbedded
in sheet of the frozen element seven inches
thick, his boiy Inclined a little forward,
hands clutching the Dough, eyes astare, and
despair pictured on his features.

Curiosity,

1t takes down east man to ask questions );
but once in while one of them finds his
match. Jonathan overlook gentleman who
was travelling on horseback, notwithstanding
the disadvantage of having lost a leg. His
curiosity was awakened, as he rode alongside
of him, to know how he Glanced to meet with
such a misfortune

ious inquirer.
"Never was in the army in my life" the
traveller remarked.

patience was very commendable, he determin

A Singular Sentence.

On yesterday morning Mr.. Frank Britting-
ham, who has lived for some time within
three miles of Hampton, on James river, was
conveyed to the Penitentiary, there to remain
for three years. The crime of which he has
been found guilty by military court in
Hampton consists in killing negro at his
home, who attempted to shoot him with a
gun while trespassing upon the premises. The
negro who received the mortal wound was
one of many among the black troops station
ed near the place who had been forbidden to
visit it for their usual purpose of stealing, BY
the advice OF an occupant, on the day which
proved so unfortunate to him he took with
him gun, when compelled to meet a body
of the impudent negroes. Having asked the
leader to withdraw, he gave Mr. Birmingham
considerable CAB, and presented gun as if III
the act of shooting they were all armed,l and
through self-defence, Mr. Birmingham seized
the advantage and fired at the negro who
thus attempted his life. The wound inflicted
proved mortal.
Mr.. Birmingham is a young man of high
responsibility and has very many friends, who
deeply regret the finding of the military court
which imprisons him for term of three years,
and brands him as murderer and villain, be-
cause he saved his own life in pure self-de-
fence We learn that Mr., Segar, Attorney
General Bowden and other prominent gentle
men are interesting themselves in his case,
and will petition the President for his release,
We hope they may be successful in the pre-
sentation of the facts and obtain remission
OF the sentence.
