The health Of the Hon. John Bell is gra-
dually failing. His mind is still clear, but
the exhaustion Of his physical system is
extreme. He resides near the Cumber-
land Iron Works, in Tennessee, which were
formerly source Of immense revenue to
him. But the war wrecked his fortune,
health, and social and political reputation,
and the old man is passing away from
generation with which it is his misfortune
that he has no sympathies.
The Berkeley Union says "Hon.
Charles J. Faulkner, in his address to the
firemen on the 4th instant, said that he
felt proud to live under the Stars and
Stripes-that the South might feel very
thankful that the rebellion had been
crushed, and the North take lasting credit
to itself for putting it down."
The New York Treeman'S Journal is
correct in its guess that the two poems it
quotes were written by one and the same
person, and also that he "is Of the old re-
bel blood of 1716."

"An officer when going into

the battle some of the enemy's
shot fell into the vicinity of the
tent, and the negro, with great
white eyes, fled away with all his
might, After the fight, and when

to learn that his servant had ran
away; but the boy soon returned,
confronting his master, who threat

A Berlin correspondent writes,
1.-TWO years ago a society was
established in Berlin, the members
of which agreed to preserve all the
points. of their cigars, instead of
biting them off and throwing them
away. These ends are collected,
and then sold in large quantities,
either for the manufacture of snuff
or smoking in pipes. The sum
thus raised is applied to the main
tenance and education of orphans;
and some idea of the extent of
the society and theinteasity of its
affection for the weed, may be
gained from the fact, that the ci-
gar ends of two years saving have
brought in a sufficient sum for
the maintenance of twenty-five
children. @

Grass Culture.

An old agriculturist gives in the
SHARK Lane Express" English, J
the annexed accidental experiment
in grass culture. In laying down
land to permanent grass, he found
the first years growth invariably
the best; and that afterward the
coarser grasses choked out the
finer sorts. Many years ago his
hired man mistook orders, and ac-
eidentally plowed nearly half an
acre In the wrong field. This was
in the Fall, and the land remained
with the roots of the grasses
exposed to the atmosphere
throughout the Winter, In the
Spring it was carefully turned back
and rolled. BY this means the
quality and quantity of the grass
were so greatly improved, that the
exact line, where the pillow had
gone, might be easilyseen for years
afterward.
