An Incident of the War.

During the occupancy of Brownsville
BY the Federal forces, says the New Or
leans Picayune, and while Major General
d. was in command at that point, an in
cident occurred which We cannot refrain
from telling 'as twas told TO US
1t seems the General had 'con6scated
to use polite term-twu beautiful
blooded horses, the property OF the Hon
Duucan f. Kenner, OF this State
Deening, probably his title none Of the
best, ne determined to sell them at pub
lie auction According y, q crier, with
bell announced to the citizens Of that
border town the sale of these wonderful
animals, that could trot, gallop, run,
and get along generally SO swiftly that
no watch had ever yet been found fast
enough to time them. The excitement
grew to fever heat, extending far over
into tne Mexican country
At length the day arrived, and with
it came the auction \ motley and nu-
merous crowd assembled, and as the
horses, carefully blanketed and led by
srooms, stepped daintily to and fro,
snuffed with expanded nostrils the morn
ing air, the expectations of ali were
raised to the highest pitch and fully re-
allied. The animals were very beauti-
ful indeed, as they stood stripped of
their coverings = perfect models of
symmetry and grace. The bidding of
course was spirited, and soon reached
tall figures, but the auctioneer knew
thing or two, and in the midst of the
excitement, suddenly ceasing bis almost
uninteliglble jargon, and dropping both
arms with an air of supreme disgust,
exclaimed, 'What! | thought YOU
knew a fine horse when you saw one.

peared particularly appreciative), jump

bids reached still higher uotches.

cried the auctioneer, and with the word
both animals darted away like arrows
from an Indian bow (; and almost sooner
than it takes to tell, the Gathering of
their mailed feet died upon the air and
their merry forms melted into distance.
The auctioneer, true to the instinct of
his race was the first to recover from
the shock.

ply to that internal rebel, Col H., for

Out past the farthest picket, whose
'halt. was scarcely uttered ere the OBJ

youngsters sped, nor slackened rein
until surrounded by their companions
in the rebel camp, where, dismounting,
they received the warm congratulations
Of their commander for having 90 ably

operations in 1850, and their factory now

more than million of dollars. and employs
over 100 operatives. They produce $4,000
Watches a year, and make and sell NOT less
than one half of all the watches sold in the
United States
The difference between their manufacture
and the European. is briefly this: European
Watches are made almost entirely by hand,
and tie result is of necessity lack of that
uniformity. which is indispensable to correct
time-keeping. Both the eye and the hand of
the most skilful operative must vary. But
it is a fact that, except watches of a higher
grade, European watches are the product of
the cheapest labor of Switzerland and the
result is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and
SO called Patent Levcrs-whch soon cost
more in attempted repairs, than their orig
inal price. Common workmen, boys and
women. buy the rough separate parts of these
watches irtm N various factories. polish and

Maxims for Married Meu.

MANN l. Avoid the use of maxims
or rules in any matrimonial discussion.
Women are incapable of approaching
the abstract. Thus, if you remark
generally that sit takes two to make a
quarrel" you will be met with the lilo
gical reply that "she does not
MAX. 2 The same may be said of
satire and irony. Women are not good
satirists-in speech-however much
they may indulge in it in action. They
sometimes display a crude idea of irony,
such as ooh yes of course II wishes
are of no consequence ~ or, "Certainly,
my love, you are always right" but
being usually in palpable passion at
the time, the statement lacks that pure
ly philosophical coolness which makes
irony effective.
MAX. 3. Only a fool has trouble
with his mother-in-law or his wife's
relatives. He is usually weak enough
to show his dislike or to oppose them.
The wise man Aatters them until he
discovers some points of difference be-
tween them and his beloved partner.
He then, of course, espouses the cause
of the relatives. He points out to the
wife the beauty Of filial obedience, and
otherwise SO conducts himself that she,
if she has any spirit, is forced to quar-
rel with them outri eht. He then
gracefully yields to circumstances.
Max. l. The wife makes the hus-
bands society. She regulates the Wis
iting lists and controls the card basket.
If she does not like the Miss Slimmens' =,
who used to admire you in your aute-
nuptial days, she stops your visits by
not returning theirs, and as a gentle
man you cannot 60 where your wife
does not. In this she is despotic, and
in the present absurd state Of society l
see no relief for you.
MAX. 8. Don't attempt to regulate
your wife's wardrobe. Some women
cunninsly enlist their husbands sym
pathies by offering to dress to please
them, to consult their tastes, and so
lead them through labyrinth of folly
and expense. Dent imagine because
your wife looks well in simple morning
dresses, and plain calico, that she will
eschew silk. Women talk for them
selves, think for their husbands, and
dress for their enemies. Your wife S
finest gown is worn as a weapon OF
defence.

virtues not Immediately attributable to
yourself and wife, you will observe that
they are inherited on the maternal side

They say-Ah, well suppose they DO,
But n.tbey prove the story true:
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice. envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the "thev"
Who whisper what they dare not say
They say-But why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse.
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not nobler plan
10 speak of all The best you can:
They say-Well. if it should be so,
Why need you tell the tale of woe:
Will it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less:
Will it the erring one restore,
Henceforth to "go and sin no more:"
They say-Oh pause, and look within,
See how thine heart incllnes to sin;
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour
Thou, too. shouldst sink beneath its power
Pity the frail. weep Ger their fall.
But speak Of good, or not at all.
