RAwLINs' REQUIEM.-Last May
while the graves were being decora>
ted at Arlington, the Beethoven Quin.
tette Club of Washington sang a re-
QUEEN Of great beauty and plaintive-
ness. Gen. Rrawlins, VINO listened with
evident emotion to it, remarked to
General Sherman, who stood near
that there was something so touching
and appropriate in the music that if
he should die he would like this re>
QUEEN to be sung over him. His
wish was remembered, and at his
grave the solemn dirge was sung, at
the suggestion of General Sherman.
As the fast'failing Rawlins stood
among the thousands of graves of
his former comrades, the feeling that
he would join them ere long on
flames eternal camping ground !"
came over him, hence the impres
sion made upon him. If Grant had
shown the consideration for the man
who made him what he is, by being
with him when he died, that Geuero
al Sherman did by having his wishes
about the requiem carried out, it
would have been better for Grants
reputation in history.

WORTHY OF IMITATIoN.-in our
last issue was an article stating that
a daughter of Commodore Vanderbilt
while visiting Saratoga, was dis
covered teaching her little daughter
to darn stockings. The discovery
expressed surprise, as well she might
do, at seeing the daughter of a man
of such immense wealth SO employed
in this country. But in Europe
such things create no surprise. All
the male members of the royal house
of Prussia are compelled to learn a
trade, that they be able to support
themselves should they come to want,
and it is said that the daughters of
Queen Victoria are thoroughly in.
structed in household labor. We
know that the most refined aud
wealthy ladies in England do not
consider it beneath their dignity
to be acquainted with aud to superin-
tend the affairs of the kitchen. In
this country, it is, with rare excep-
tions, very different. Many of our
young ladies', and even those whose
parents are far from being rich, would
feel like committing suicide if found
doing any useful work.

PoLYGAMY DEFENDED.-A man
In Boston has written a book in
defense of pOlygauy. We quote
a paragraph in which he shows
how the mutual association Of friends
may ripen into love, and even into a
polygamous marriage. He says:
"For example, there are two females
friends residing together and mutu~
ally dependent upon each other for
much of their intellectual and moral
culture. A wealthy young man of
their acquaintance calls upon them
frequently and admires both, aud
they enjoy his visits, for neither of
them has any other male associates.
At length he invites them both to q
public entertainment. Neither OF
Them would be willing to leave her
friend and 60 with him alone, nor
could he well endure the thought of
enjoying himself abroad with one
while the other would be deserted
and neglected at home-the other
who would enjoy the entertainment
so much, and whose enjoyment would
so much enhance theirs. Now, if
this triple conPauiOnship shall ripen
into friendship, and the friendship
into love, and the love shall result
in a triple marriage, where is the
degradation? Would it not be still
more hcartless to desert either OF
the friends now when each heart is
thrilling with the harmonious music
of the triple love? 2"

PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF MIDNIGHT.
If i; be a fact that murderous
deeds are done in cold blood, the
proper time for such deeds is between
eleven at night and one in the morn.
ing for it is in this interval that
the temperature of the human body
falls to lis minimum. From some
researches lately communicated to
the Royal Society, it appears that
healthy beings 60 regularly through
a daily cycle Of variable warmth
The maximum heat is reached at
nine A. NJ, when in persons under
twenty-five, the temperature of the
flesh stands at ninety-nine degrees
Fahrenheit, and this is maintained
till six p. NJ, when it slowly and
steadily falls till an hour before mid
night the amount of decrease by
this time is something over TWO dc,
grees. At about three A. NJ, the
upward turn is taken, and. the heat
increases till nine O'Clock. 1t is
curious that this extent of change
only occurs to young bodies. Old
folks preserve a nearly equal degree
Of warmth all the twepty-four hours
through. Other notable facts are,
that feeding has nothing to do with
the variations, and that hot and cold
baths do not appear to interfere with
the regularity of the changes.

HUMBU6s.-The Portland Herald
has the following notice Of a trio of
adventurers who are announced to
appear at Walla Walla. We know
nothing of the parties, but promising
that the Herald's statement is cer-
rect, we give our readers the benefit
of the notice:
Recently trio Of adventures
announced that they would give an
entertainment at Orc Fino Hall, in
which some lectures and songs would
occur. If this had been all that was
announced, the Hall would not have
been half full, nor quarter full, nor
eighth full. We can say this with
some degree of certainty, because we
calculate from the failure of some
church theatricals that recently came
off. but did not pay expenses. The
secret Of the entertainment by the
itinerant trio of Yankee adventures and
"adventnresses," was the gambling
feature the offer that every ticket
was to entitle the holder to chance
that might-yes might-win hand
some watch, or diamond, or other
piece of jewelrJy. EVERYBODY went
and the Hall was pretty well filled
with citizens of Portland, male aud
female, high aud low, cburchwen aud
laymen, fashionable and Questionable
all intent on having chance to win
the gold watch, &c. The songs were
a bore the speech by the male mem.
Der Of the triangular swindle, was a
bore. We have no doubt but they
were bores in themselves, but on this
occasion they were doubly boreS, be-
cause they preceded and delayed the
drawing. Nobody came to hear the
songs, or the lecture, or the speech.
Everybody came to draw. The delay
was odious, because it postponed the
drawing. The ladies and gentlemen
wanted to know what particular piece
of brass jewelry their ticket entitled
them to draw. The ladies and geu~
tiemen wanted to know how near TO
the gold watch their chance was
going to bring them, At last, the
singing, and the lecturing, and the
speaking was over and the time TO
draw was at hand. The male mem-
Der Of the triangular Yankee swindle,
told the ladies and gentlemen that
they could march up to the box office
and draw. This they did, aud march
ed away with brass rings, gilt buckles,
and three cent buttons, while the
Yankees who had given them the
chance to draw those magnificent (?)
things, marched off with the hard
gold. This is the way the money
goes. Now, DO rot our citizens know
that such things arc but gambling
devices, calculated to impoverish the
city by carrying away the money that
should be among US?
