War Anecdotes.

When we were marching toward Gettys-
burg and came to Greencastle, 'detaip was
driving large drove of fine looking cattle
through the streets of the village. When
about half way through the town, one of the
men saunteripg along upon the pavement,
passed by a portico which came out to the
sidewalk, when he heard the following ut
torrance from one of the several ladies, who
were standing there:
Just look at the cattle these dirty lousy
rascals have taken from our people, and are
driving along here
Madam said the detail, syou are very
much mistaken in regard to that matter

ing to one suiting the description.
well, what if I do?'
tWhy, only this, that We bought that COW
and her husband over there way down in
Virginia, and she has had all these calves
since aoe left there.
The correspondent of the London Times
furnished that paper with the following
good one:
When the Confederate army was passing
through Chambersburg, many ladies gather
ed about the doors and windows, around the
gates and upon the verandabs, most of whom
were decorated with Union flags about their
persons. One young lady who stood near
the street had tremendous one stretched
across her bosom. One of Hoods Texans
saw it, stopped, and leaning his chin upon
the muzzle Of bis gun, eyed it for few mo.
ments and then said:
sMiss, advise you to take down that
flag
why, sir?'
because these are Hoods men here, and
they are terrible fellows to charge Yankee
breastworks, especially when they are sur
mounted by U. S. flag The young lady
vanished.

breast-piates are being revived, as in the
glorious times of the Knights of the Round
Table and the Plantagenets. NJ. Murato:i,
the director of the Genoa Penitentiary, has
succeeded in devising breast-plate for
soldiers which scarcely weighs three Eng
lish pounds After repeated experiments,
practiced on it with heavy cavalry pistols
at five PAGES, and lances, bayonets and
swords, it has been discovered to be utterly
impenetrable, both to bullets and thrusts.
The most striking popularity Of this breast.
plate, which can in no way impede the
movements of soldier, is that not the
slightest atom of metallic matter enters into
its composition. The Minister of War and
several superior officers, being present du,
ring the experiments, were highly satisfied
with its practical usefulness.

TOBACCO FOR BoYs.-A strong and SEN
sible writer administers a wholesome dose
for boys who use tobacco in any form, assu'
ring them that tobacco has utterly spoiled
and utterly ruined thousands of boys, indu'
cling a dangerous precocity, developing,
softening and weakening of the bones, and
greatly ipjuring the spinal marrow, the
brain, and the whole nervous fluid. A boy
who early and frequently smokes, or in any
way uses large quantities of tobacco, never
is known to make man of much energy Of
character and generally lacks physical and
muscular, as well-as mental energy. We
would particularly warn boys who want to
be any body in the world, to shun tobacco
as most baueful poison.

NATIONAL CoNvENTIoN-OPINIoNs OF
THE PRESS The Richmond Enquirer
thinks that, "to appear in the Convention
is thus unnecessary, while it might embar-

applauds."
The Lyncbburg Nea0s favors passiveness
on the part of the Southern people relative
to the Convention, called to meet at Phila-
delphia, in August.
The Lyuchburg Firgsnsan warmly ap-
proves the call for the Convention, and &C.
cepts the platform.
The Petersburg Index makes some oh.
lection to the "incautious, not to say unre-
publican language" of part of the call
but approves it as whole, and trusts that
there will be general response throughout
the Union, and especially that every South.

REVIVAL OF A LOST ART.-It is stalled
in an exchange that Mr.. Disman, of Up
per Sandusky, Ohio, has discovered the pro-
cess of hardening copper and has secured q
patent for it, The art is supposed to have
been lost since the days of King Solomon.
The material is properly called silicitated
copper, and can be worked without friction.
All necessity for oiling machinery made
from it is obsiated. The Cleveland, Colum-
bus & Cincinnati Railroad is now testing the
prepared metal, and in case of its success
are prepared to give the inventor $4,000
for its use on their Road There is much
excitement and interest in Upper Sandusky
over the subject.
