BoMBAsr.-Brick Pomeroy, the expo
nent of a large class of Northern copper
heads, thus goes into ecstacies over the
release Of j eff Davis:
Glory to God in the Highest In spite
of Rump tyranny. Abolition NAL ce,
johnson timidity, and the hatred OF the
fanatical and bigoted, Jefferson Davis
once more breathes the air of freedom,
(that is to FAY, as free as it can be in a
Rump despotlsm) and walks among his
fellows, ''the noblest Roman among them
all." Long life and happy years to the
bravest man of our country and age.
Brick probably feels in much better
humor now than he did when he was dis
honorably expelled from the Union lines
for disloyalty, at one time during the war

their business and their location, vet thev

often brings them back TO the old trade.

or any others Of The craft who have ac-
quired wealth or honors in the various
pursuits Of life. Generally ambitious for
something better than type sticking"
and from Ihe nature of the business, usu-
ally intelligent, they are fitted to engage
in other pursuits Of every kind. Proba-

learned professions, in short they ara found

! We were lately thinking of our former
mates in B. L. Hamlin's printing Office,

which seemed worthy of mention, Two
of the printers in that office left the trade,
graduated at Y ale College, and were ad-
.nitted to the bar. Another graduated at
the medical college. Another became a
wealthy merchant in Boston. One of
them is now an editor. Three subss-
quently owned large printing offices, which
they now carry on, and this includes all
there were in that office except one appren-
tice who became a hotel clerk. Among
the craft in other offices at that time, one
subsequently, graduated at the head of his
class in Trinity College and is now an
Episcopal minister in this county, having
recently been the editor of this denomina-

re-H-abe friend:
Trees, stumps and rocks were some
times in demand during the progress of a
fight. A good lying place (not lawyers

AS for instance, member OF Company f,
Fourteenth n. G. 1 (by the way, the

the army as captain,) was giving his
friends at home an account Of very fierce
fight on the Peninsula. He said: "We
were marching through thick wood to
flank portion of the enemy, and just as
we entered the edge of an old field three
or four Y ankee batteries opened on us at
short range, with grape and cannister.-
Such q storm never saw since L was born.

between Campau avenue and Chene street,
took fire during the absence of all the
members of the family, except the young
children, who were locked inside while the
mother went to neighbours. The flames
spread rapidly, and before any effort could
be made to check their progress the en-
tire building was wrapped in sheet of
fire. The agonized mother rushed into
the burning bpilding with the intention of
saving her babes, but the smoke and hot
air stifled her, and she was compelled to
abandon the undertaking 1t seemed as
though the children must surely perish,
so fiercely did the destructive element rage
the flames leaping and curling above the
doomed building like a mass of writhing,
angry serpents. The mother was in des-
pair, and her screams for help were truly
pitiful. Finally a young man, named
| William Plass, determined to undertake
the rescue of the children. Wrapping 6
wet blanket about his person, he sprane

 THE DARK VALLEY.

Within the dark valley the weird shadows lay, And danger and darkness encompass the way, At the end of the vista the frsil flowers bloom, And the smile of our Savior disperses the gloom. Down the dark valley, as day succeeds day, The pure and@he beautiful are passing away Passing alone, down the pathway of tears, Bearing within them the love of long years. Ts kiss thsir cold lips, and VIC clasp their
 cold clay; Ere they're borne from our presence away; And hope disappears and we sink with the And the future seems dark with the presence
 of woe; Yet peace will return, and the gloom disappear, Anda smile will inhabit the place of tear. 'Tis the dark lonesome road all are destined
 to tread, Ere they bssk in the sunshine eternal ahead. Ere they sit down to rest by the river of peace, Where sorrow and trouble forever shall cease. Then bear brave heart in this twinkle of
 light,
 There is rest for the weary, for the blind thero
 is sight, Though the shadows are dark and the sun
 shine be dead, There is rest, there is hope, there is sunshine

REPARATOR CAPILLI.

For restoring hair upon bald heads, (from whatever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face, in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few ignorant prsctition- CTS have asserted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false. as thous- ands of living witnesses (from their own ex- perience) can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious! It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have already thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator Capilli; it will cost you nothing unless it fully comes up to our representations. If your Druggist does not keep it. send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together with re- ceipt for the money, which will be returned you on application, providing entire satisfac- tion is not given.

POOR OARLOTTA! Her Condition and Treatment.

From the Memorial Diplomatique.
 We receive aillicting news from Mfr amar. The Empress Carlotta separated about year ago from her husband, de- prived during more than three months of all direct intelligence, and after hay ing become prey since the departure of the French troops to the keenest emotions and most poignant anxietics, has just fallen into moral prostration of the most alarming character. Her Majesty no longer seems to nave any consciousness ofwhat is passin" c,'n,,, ,,,,,,n her, and remains . .u gloomy reverie, trol wa..icn pr. Illek has not, for mo- ment, been able to rouse her, not even when he mentiond the creal event which wounds her so cruelty in her dearest affections. The complete indif- ference with which the unfortunate Princess received that redoubtable blow, but two we'll justifies the fear that science will now be powerless to save her fine intellect.
 As Dr. lick had from the first made himself responsible for the cure of the Empress, Maximilian l., who had placed all his confidence in him, left him abso- lute master of the treatment to be fol lowed. For that reason neither the Austrian family nor the Court of Brus- sels yentured to interfere in matter so delicate. At the present time, the Emperor of Mexico having fallen un- der murderous balls Juarists, the rights of the two families will naturally sub stituted for the authority of the hus- band with that object the Queen of the Belgians has Jeff Brussels to be present at the family conneil assembled at salzburg, and thence her Majesty will proceed to Miramar. The meal, cal men are of the opinion that ina experiment ought to be made, by trans porting the Princess Carlotta into hei youthful reminiscences in the Palace of Lacken That step will, in fact, be adopted as soon as an assurance can be entertained that this long journey can be made without aggravating tht state Of the august invalid.
