A curious habeas corpus case was de-
elded a few days ago in st. Louis, 10y the
circuit court. Mrs. Burd claimed possess
sion OF a mulatto child she had adopted

ferred remaining with her. The Judge
decided the girl was free and could do as
she pleased. On questioning her, the
girl preferred 10 remain with Mrs. Patti

Ia a sharp article on the English and
French armies, the London Rcyie5r notes
a point in which the English surpass the
FreRch-the number OF useless half-pay
men. It observes:
"There is an anomaly in the English
army Of which the French cannot boast,
and that is the large flock Of well dressed,
gentlemanly, middle-aged men that are
to be met everywhere in this country,
and who belong to the half-pay or UNI
attached list Of field officers. 1t is not
TO say that Of hale, hearty gentlemen in
the prime of life, who hold the rank Of
colonel or major, but who have done no
duty FOR years, and intend TO do none for
a very much longer time, if possible, we
have almost enough 10 officer a second
army. OF this article OF luxury our
neighbors know nothing. They have
but two classes Of Officers-those on ac-
tive service, and those who, having
served, are drawing their w~ell-earned
pensions. OF what use a plain-clOthes
body Of men, who ought to be doing hard
work in the colonies, can be to the ma
ton at large, the French have no idea
whatever; and we confess to sharing
their ignorance as to the value Of these
balf-pay worthless"

cspaeisy Ola Cistern.

We often hear our friends say that
thev have had a cistern built of such a
number Of barrels capacity. AS the rate
of charge for their construction is often
made to depend upon their supposed ca
paelty, it becomes a matteapf some mo-
ment to know for ourselves what we
should expect for our money, otherwise
we shall be at the mercy of the CON
tractor. Indeed, the capacity Of our els
terms is very much oyerrated IN some
parts of the country.
The Iowa Homestead, in an article ON
cisterns, gives the following statement
showing the capacity;of those having the
usual round or cylindrical form. With
out attempting a mathematical veriiica-
ton Of these figures, they are assumed to
be correct, and are as follows;
A cistern five feet in diameter will
hold a fraction over five barrels for each
foot in depth six feet, a fraction over
six barrels per foot seven feet, nine bar
1 rels per foot: eight feet, eleven barrels
ner foot: nine feet, fifteen barrels per
foot. zen feet, eighteen barrels per foot.
The last named figure IS quite a large
size for a family c~istern, and ten ieet IN
depth is as much as we often find. The
| contents Of such a one, according to our
estimate. would be 10ylS-lo0 barrels,
and vet how many of us have to pay for

fcer IN the war with the Sacs and Foxes,
was engaged in many of those daring ex-
PLOTS which are so common to the hardy
sons Of the frontiers, and which, We're
they more known, would place the ac-
tors high on the &" roll of fane.u Near
the close Of that Inflated struggle of the
Indians, he walked out from his camp,
as usual early in the morning, accOmpa-
MED by a "fellQw-in-arms. " Having
advanced some distance from the camp,
they suddenly came in view Of three In
dams. They quickly drew their rifles to
a level with their opponents, and the I'M
erring aim and the keen eyes of the
western hunters caused two Of the three
q" sOn of nature to kiss their mother
earth. Major s., dropping his rifle. but
grasping his knife, made chase for the
remaining Indian, who fired without
effect. The msjor's companion tarried
until he could effect the scalping of the
two Indians whom they had Killed. But
a short space Of ground was got over be-
fore the active major had gripped with
his red foe, and unfortunately lost his
knife before he had time 70 use it. Each
had the other by the throat: and though
a knife hung from the belt Of The Indian. /
neither dared loose his hold to Get In
Indian, observing the approach of
the majors companion, made a desper-
ate effort to floor bis adversary. but his
active opponent parted the trip and
threw him. Stil neither could use The
knife, for the Indian locked himself so
close with the major, that he buried his
teeth IN nim as they were falling. At
this moment the majors companion

Tom says the major, have YOU
