A London letter says: "We have here two
little French girls of ten or twelve years, who
play the violin wonderfully, not only for their
age, but for any age. They are really very
charming musicians and the violin is the
properinstrumentf for young girl to play on
the only one that can really express what is
in her of delicacy, grace, tenderness, spirit
and everything nice. Raphael painted his
angels playing on violins, and after hearing
these nice girls play, it seems very proper

prefer fiddles, and the angels, whatever they
may be, should have the best and most ex-
instruments"

BoDY or A #aTE FEMALE SOLDIER Found
IN THE CRATER AT PETERSBURG. The Peters
burg Index says that the grave-diggers at the
Crater have unearthed, short distance in
front Of that famous place, the body of a
white woman dressed in federal uniform.
The body, when found, was in IAN excellent
state of preservation, the bust especially, was
perfect. The features, pallid with the hue of
death, revealed the delicate cast of her wo-
mans face, and her hair, though cut short,
gloss and softness which alone
might have excited a suspicion of her sex.
She had been shot through the head She
was carefully placed into one Of the new
collins provided for her sterner comrades, and
taken off with them to be buried amongst
them.

The u :. Mint.

few days since we paid visit to the
above named institution, situated on Espla-
made street and the leve9. 1t was the scene of
considerable activity at one time in the history
OF the city, and employed some forty or fifty
Workmen and clerks; but we now found that its
glory, to considerable extent, has departed,
only about one or two rooms about the build
ing are used, excepting to contain the machine
cry which was formerly employed in minting
Tins machinery still stands in perfect condi-
ton, and apparently if the order were to
come tomorrow, could resume immediately its
labors. We were kindly shown through the
building by one of its old employees whose
attention IS now transferred from the making
of coin to arranging the apparatus for light
houses, and had to admit that we beheld be-
fore us the most beautiful machinery we had
ever seen. So perfect was the polish, that in
one apartment it seemed made of large steel
bars and plates. In one room were the works
where the golden ingots were rolled into plate
Of the required thickness; in another where
it was cut into the shape demanded, and in
another, the stamping and milling operation
was performed. -s
The amount OF money coined by this mint
it is proper here to state, was not dependant
upon the gold that came from California. Its
operations were mostly sustained by the Mex
lean and South American dollars, which were
brought here when the resources of this coun-
try were in a fourishing condition, and which
We're furnished it by the banks. These Mexi-
can dollars it was which were recast and made
to bear the superscription of the goddess of
liberty. 1t may be feeling of delicacy to-
wards the latter goddess, which prevents the
proper authorities, in view of the present state
of the country, from again using her image
The only public use to which this noble
building is now put is as the headquarters of
the lighthouse department of the gulf States
1t includes the coast from Texas to Florida,
and requires, according to our information,
some forty lighthouses. A large number of
flags, to be used as signals We're hung up in
one Of the rooms and in another were slowed
the lamps and the machinery required
in the lighthouses. Some Of these lamps
with their lens shades are much larger than
one would imagine, and are at least five feet
high. The lens are made of circular rings of
thick prismatie glass, placed one upon the
other, Some Of them were made for station
any lights, and Others were made to cast
lash or intermittent light, by means of a sec
md shade, which revolved Like all old
buildings which have been built for business,
md whose halls are deserted, it has melan-
holy appearance, to which the rank growth of B
he grass and shrubbery contributes, and the
ecollection that upon the portico facing
street the unfortunate Mumford the e
ictim Of Buffers cruelty, met his sad end. I
The building is of little use at present, and b
Te much doubt whether it will be soon or 9
yer again devoted to the object for which it
