Notice to Delegates elect %

Poor as our people are they still have re.
gard for tho ''eternnl fitness of things" From
d fund subscribed by gentlemen Of the District,
we are prepared to furnish to each delegate
elect to the Menagerie, one bar turpentine soap,
one coarse towel and one bottle Phalon's Night
Blooming Cereus. The members elect from,
this District are requested to avail themselves
of this donation. Any member smelling
stronger than Lumberger cheese, will be enti-
tied to two rations, but two witnesses who can
take the "iron clad" oath, will be required to
substantiate the fact.
P. s.-Thc waters of Catfish, although not
as classic as those Of Jordan, are recommended
to be used in connection with the turpentine
soap and towel mentioned above, for nine sue
cessive days before their departure On the
tenth day a liberal use of sand paper and brok-
en- glass is recommended before the application
of Phalon's perfume
P.S. extra. Heat of debate and pcrspira-
tion should be studiously avoided, MS all the
Phalon's in hi couldn't counteract the re-
suit of eithcr.-Ataron Star.

LuTHER's SoLAcEs.-Luther, when study
ing, always had his dog lying at his feet; q
dog he had brought from, Wartburg, and Of
which he was very fond. An ivory crucifx
stood at the table before him. He worked at
his desk for days together, without going out ;
but when fatigued, and the ideas began to
stagnate, he took his guitar with him to the
porch, and there executed some musical fantasy
for he was askillful lmusican-when the ideas
would fly upon him as fresh flowers after sum.
mer's rain. Music was his invarinble solace nt
such times. Indeed, Luther did not hesitate to
say that, after theology, music was the first of
arts. Music, said he, is the art of the prophets
it is the only other art which, like theology, can
calm the agitation of the soul, and put the
devil to fight Next to music, if not before
it, Luther loved children and Aowera. The
great, gnarled man had heart as tender us a
woman's.

SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18 1868.

l did the next best thing could I trusted
to the Christmas fires having warmed all hearts
that'night, and lost no time in knocking at
tho door oflthe comfortable house near which I
stood, and from which,I could heur, the sound
Of children's voices. 'it" 7'
II was not long before the tidy, brisk, scr.
want girl, in her nice cap and white apron, had
opened tho door, and, as my request, announced
her master. He came out, Immediately follow
ed BY kind, motherly looking lady, in whose
face saw, at once, the expression of compass
sion and anxiety, which recalled the dear mo-
ther IN my far-of home, so I knew that the
little one had found kind friends. Very soon
wehad raised tho poor child aud carried her
into'the house, still clasping the clusters of
berries, and a little green branch, which con-
trusted sadly with her cold, pinchcd face, her
little red hands, and the snow whitencd hair.
The mothers kind hands were soon busy
caring for the poor pcrished child; and she
and gentle, sweet-looking girl who was SO
like,our sister Lille, in ber. quiet ways, that
knew her at once for the eldest sister of the
house, tried everything their loving care could
suggest to restore the little frozen limbs to
warmth and motion
While the kind ladies were busy with the
child, the father led me down again insisting
that I should be their guest for the rest of the
evening; request I was not unwilling to
yed to. for after the warmth aud comforts of
this home, felt still moro the dreariness of my
inn. | forgot to tell you that hnd recog-
niycdf the gentleman ut once rs merchant
with whom had formed o business acquain-
tance few days before, and to whom, there
fore, was not quite stranger.
! felt such thrill of comfort and homo like
enjoyment when the half-opcned door showed
the glowing cheerfulness of the parlor and the
expectant circle within, that made very little
objection to his kind hospitality. Indeed the
thought of being turned adrift again on the
chill, dreary night made me shiver. I felt by
the contrast almost as homeless as the Door
child we had rescued from its covcrlet of
snow.
.ESoyou had Christmas after all, brother
Henry?" said Charley.
Eyes, that had and one not soon to be
forgotten, either; for it was the cause of my
finding the best friends ever had out of my
own home.

How Gallant Men Meet.

The correspondent in this city who furnish
es the New York Tribune with such purely
fictitious picture Of the social interchanges of
General Hancock with our citizens, and espe-
sially with prominent ex-Rebels, will doubtless
knd new subject for his pen in an incident
which occurred during the holidays We ask
no thanks for supplying this very verncious
writer with the facts of this incident. They
are Us follows:
A few days ago General James Longstree.
called at the residence of General Hancock and
sent in his card General Hancock was then
engaged with some friends ladies and gentlo.
men. He Immediately left them to receive his
old army friend, more recently his foe, but now
again his friend, and after a warm greeting,
insisted upon conducting General Longstreet
into the parlor and introducing him to the
company there assembled. The style of tho
introduction was so peculiar that we reproduce
it for the special benefit of the malignant Radi-
calls, rs full justification for their suspicious
of General IJancock's loyalty.
"I.adics and gentlemen" said General Han
cock, "allow me to introduce to you gallant
gentleman to whom nm indebted for an un-
graceful limp, and whom had tho misfortune
to wing in the same combat"
Wo must add that. although tho company
was composed exclusively of ladies and gentle
man whose sympathics were on tho Union side
in tho lato war, tho incident excited profound
and most ploasurable sonsation, and the two
distinguished soldiers were regarded with in
creased admiration and rospect-N 0. Times.
