THE OLD G U a RD,
A MONTHLY MAGAZINE,
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Science and Art, and the
Political Principles of 1776 and 1887.
c. CHAUNCEY BURR, EDITOR.

The success of THE OLD GUARD has been as
remarkable as it ought to be gratifying to the
friends of true American literature. 1t has stead
ilv doubled its circulation each year of its publ
cation and its publishers have found it necessary
to annually enlarge it, to meet the full expecta-
tions of its patrons, well as to realize their own
ideal of first-class Family and Literary Maga-
zine, combined with sound political principles
To still farther carry out this design, The Old
Guard for 1867 will be printed on new type, and
enlarged sixteen additional pages, making in all
nearly One Thousand Pages Of reading matter
yearly for the low price of three dollars Arrange
ments have also been made to secure the very best
literary talent of the country. We will commence
in the January number thrilling Romance writ
ten expressly for The Old Guard, entitled,
JOSCELYN; A Tale of the Revolution;
By VIM. Gilmore Simlns Esq, of S, c.,
the peer of Cooper and Irving, taking the reader
back to the birth of the AmSrican principle of
government, and introducing him TO the rebels OF
1915 John Esten Cooke, Esq, of Virginia, auth
or of sSurry of Eagles Nest" &C., &c., will fur
nish series of graphic sketches, entitled THE
Battles of Virginia" while our present corps OF
contributors with some ones, will continue to
furnish articles, making the Magazine second to
none in point of literary attraction and ability
Politically The Old Guard will stand in the future
as in the past faithfully guarding the Consultation
as it came from the hands of Washington, without
acuuescing in any of the subversons, under the
title of amendments" 1t will be continued up
on the grand idea that ''all is no! lost" while vir-
tue and intelligence remain with any portion OF
the people.

The Evening Leader.

A new evening journal, the Epen'ng
Leader, began its existence in this city on
st. Valentines Day. 1t is very handsomely
printed, is of the radical persuasion in poll
tics, and promises to be conducted in wide
awake and enterprising fashion. The advent
of the journal was signalized last evening by
a supper given by its proprietOrs, Messrs.
w. J. CowING, L. Hill and J. Q. THOMPSON,
at Willards' Hotel.
The entertainment was an elegant and
sumptuous affair, and it was enjoyed by the
representatives of the local press of Wash
ington and correspondents of papers in other
cities. The mutual expressions of good will
were very hearty, andmany pleasant speeches
and sentiments were uttered by the knights
of the pen, pencil and scissors. May it al
ways be so with the Leader.

How 60 Economize Fuel.

DR.. Samuel Warren, author Of "Ten Thou
sand Year." recently wrote letter to the
Mayor Of Hull, England, to say That before
leaving for London he desired to make
practical suggestion to the housekeepers Of
the town. The suggestion was this: "To
economize the burning Of coal, send for an
ironmonger or blacksmith and order him to
take the measure Of the bottom OF your CRATE
and make you q sheet-iron plate Of about
one sixth OF an inch in thickness, or even
less. Simply lay this, and light your FIRE as
usual II will soon burn up, but you must
keep pretty open the lowest bar, so as to Sc
cure a light draught When the FIRE has
begun to burn poke II gently from beneath
and the fame will gradually get through the
entire mass Of Goals, the iron plate beneath
gets red hot, and SO keeps up O constant
combustion at the same time dispensing the
heat through the room, instead Of its being
sent up the chimney, thus entirely consum-
ing the coal, instead Of filling the hearth with
ashes.
DIR. Warren continues:
"In my own house / tried the experiment
for a week in the breakfast room, then in the
dining room, then in the kitchen, with uni.
form and complete success; and then had
the sheetiron plate put in every fireplace
and there were many throughout the house
with equal success. So l do with the
fire place in my official residence. When the
fire is once made up, say about ten o. m, for
the day, an occasional poke and possibly o
simple replenishment, suifices for the day. In
my own case, and also at my hotel here,
where three scuttles were required, one now
sufhces. You must not smile at the sim
plicity Of my suggestion, but contribute what
little is in my power to promote the comfort
Of, and lessen the expense to every house
holder in the good old town Of Hull"
A citizen Of Hull, who has since tried this
plan, writes: "The result in my house,
where l have had quarter inch iron plates
fitted at the bottom Of two fire CRATES, at an
expense Of two shillings each, is a saving in
coal of about one.third, with n considerable
increase in heat. A large number Of per-
sons have already satisfactorily tried the ex-
pertinent, and the use Of the plates is likely
to become general in this locality"
The cost of the experiment is mere triae.

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon, when
League Island" had been passed, and the
legislators had got into the open Poland sea
of politics, Senator WADE declared that the
reconstruction bill Of Mr.. STEVENS and Mr..
ELIOT must pass, and he deprecated any
"fanciful' amendments, such as Senators
seemed disposed to offer
In the House the tax bill was under dis
cussion in the afternoon and evening, and the
developments of Illicit distilling in the New
York district made by Mr.. DARLING were as
founding. 1t is possible that the Congress
will be driven to the expedient of placing
the distilling districts under military rule,
abolishing hdbeaS corpus, and detailing West
Pointers to scent out the enormous frauds
perpetrated in the manufacture of toddy for

Strange Disease Among the Cattle
-Ravages Of the Mad Itch.

The London (ohio) Journal says: 1--WE
regret to learn from Mr.. Stephen Watson,
residing near London, that since Monday
last he has lost nine fine fat steers, and
twenty.nine head Of fat sheep, from strange
and terribly fatal disease known as the
Mad Itch We say strange disease,
from the fact that although disease with
which and the cause Of which our stock men
are generally acquainted, yet for q remedy,
none seems to be known. It is strange, also,
from the manner in which the animal is
affected, and in its perfect fatality. or the
cause Of this disease all are agreed that it is
the result Of feeding cattle or sheep together
with hogs, on green corn fodder, or in feed
ing them together on corn Of very late plant.
ing, cut up fiery green, and still at this sea-
son retaining the properties Of green fodder.
The hog, chewing the stalks and thus ex-
tracing all the saccharine juices, drop the dry
pith in wads, which is picked up by the cattle
and sheep and eaten. This innutritious and
indigestible substance having been received
into the stomach, causes violent inaamma-
ton, which results in death in from twelve to
twenty-four hours. In the manner in which
II outwardly affects the animal it is also
'strange'-the first symptoms of its presence
being manifested in peculiar twitching Of
the muscles Of the lower jaw and lip, fol-
lowed in short time by a terrible itching,
which the animal attempts to relieve by rub
bing its lower jaw and throat against any OBJ
iect it can reach, until it frequently rubs all
the hair and skin from these parts; rubbing
believing and moaning until death relieves
il of its terrible misery"

AUGUSTA, Feb. l3.-The Committee on
Federal Relations reported the following res
olutions in the House to-day:
ReSolVed, That political power being an
inherent right Of the citizen, impartial suf-
frage should be made the uniform rule of all
the States Of the Union, either by authority
already passed, by Congress, or by the ne
cessary amendment of the Constitution of
the United States.
ReSolved, That the present State govern
ments of the recently rebel States, except
ing Tennessee, were established outside of
the legal authority of the nation, and with
out the sanction Of the people whom they
assume to represent, and that it is the duty
Of Congress to annul them and adopt the
necessary steps for instituting loyal State
governments which shall afford liberty and
protection to all the people over whom they
exercise authority.

NAMES OF PLACES IN EURoPE.-A cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing
from Europe, makes this observation:
I'm travelling on the continent, an Ameri.
can is liable to make mistakes from not
knowing the current method of spelling the
names OF places. 1t was some time before
learned that Aachen, which frequently saw,
meant AK Ia Chapelle. And who would
imagine that Firenze was the Italian for
Florence? The French name for The Hague
is La Hague, while the Dutch is something
yet more different The German way Of
spelling Cologne is Koln, and Munich Nun
chen. Antwerp appears on the maps as
Anvers, and Mechlin as Malines. Here, in
Italy, Naples is Napoli, and Leghorn Livorna.
An Italian would not understand you in
speaking of Venice He writes it Venezia,
and pronounces it Vay-nay-tze-a."

Railroad Train Attacked by

A singular incident 10 railroad train in
the south Of France, where there has been
great fall Of snow this winter, is related by
the Paris correspondent Of the New York
Post. A freight train on the Luxembourg
railroad, comprising three cars filed with
sheep and oxen, experienced great difficulty
in making headway against the snow, and
between Lubiamont and Polk the snow
threatened TO extinguish the fires, and the
engineer was obliged TO stop the train and
send of for assistance to clear the track. The
men who were left were busying themselves
in sweeping of the snow that had fallen on
the engine, when they heard behind them q
low yelping. They turned and saw against
the darkness a semi-circular line Of fiery
points. They were the eyes Of famished
wolves, Eve in number, who had been at
tracted by the smell Of the cattle, and were
now seated at a few steps from the four men,
watching. The situation was extremely crit
ical Except for the fire irons and shoyels
the besieged were entirely unarmed, and
could have no hope Of assistance within three
hours. They opened the steam jets and
blew the whistle in hopes Of frightening the
beasts, but with no success. 1t was deter
mined finally TO beat retreat, and the four
men crept in single file along the train,
closely followed by the hungry wolves. They
reached the cars without difficulty and three
Of them had succeeded in entering, but as the
fourth started, one Of the wolves sprang upon
him and tore of the flap Of his coat This
was the signal for the assault Of the entire
band; an assault, however, that was SO yigo-
rously resisted that the men came off victo.
rious, killing one Of the wolves. They got
safely into the car, where they were block.
AIDED for two hours waiting for assistance.
Soon after the retreat Of the wolves there
was frightful tempest Of yells and howls
from the terrified cattle, which continued
till help arrived

were to be conducted the consequences of
conviction, the right of removal, and the sus-
