GENERAL WIGrALL.-A writer in q
Western paper, on "the exiles of the
war;" says:
Lewis Y. Wigfall made his way
abroad at tho close Of the war some
how or other. He is nan Of despcr
rate energy, and he has been practis-
ing law, I believe, in somo irregular
way, now in tho courts of England,
gets along somehow or other. He
cannot have much money, and I fancy
would be glad to got back in Texas at
the law onoe more. He is in many
respects an extraordinary man, o born
rovolutionist, never disheartened, what
ever tho storm or the tempest, best
pleased, perhaps, when the waves run
high, devoted to his own pet schemea
or ideas has passion for some peo-
ple, and can hate othors like tho glow
Of an anthracite furnace; is always
driving away at something, yet never
depressed by failure, and viii never
give up hope as long ae he oan find a
listener. Give him helf dozen lis
teners and he is perfectly happy. AS
We are to have peace, I think Wigfall
and the United States could harmon.
ize matters by allowing him to. har.
anguo Texas jury. What harm would

The GIRL With the Calico Dress.

A fig for your urper-tcn girls,
With their vclvcts, and sntins, and laces
Their diamonds and rubics, and pearls,
Aud their milliner figures and faces;
They may shine at party or ball.
Emblazoncd with half they possess:
But give me, in place Of them all,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is plump rs a partridge, and fair
: AS the rose in its earliest bloom;
Her teeth will with ivory compare,
Aud her breath with the clover perfume
Her step is as free and Ms light
AS the fawn's whom the hunters hard
press,
And her eye is rs soft and as bright,
My girl with the calico dress
She is cheerful. warm hearted and truo,
and is kind to her fnthcr and mother;
She studies how much she eau do
For her sweet little ss,e and brother.
Ii you want Il companion for life,
TO comfort, cnlivcn and bless,
She is just the right sort of n wifc,
My girl with the cnlico dress.

The Livingston Journal says that
ono cause Of the scarcity Of labor in
that section is from the mania of the
negroes for planting con their own
hook this year, hoping on account OF
the present high prico Of cotton to got
rich in one season. One Of these
would-be-plantres was seen in store
a few days ago trying to get pair OF
shoes for . bals Of cotton yet to be
raised.
}ls A Minnesota steer recently had the
misfortune to have d hay stack cave

him two weeks afterwards, fat and

A single handful of manure pa5
into hill of corn will often make tho
difference between four or fvo little
'nubbins,'' and six or eight great
plump ears that will she'll their bulk
of sound corn. A thousand handfuls
count up hohvily in the autumn corn
crib. How many handfuls Of manure
are daily lost in your stock-yara that
might be saved in nico order by a lit
tie care in heaping up, and covering
from washing rain : These handfuls
Of manure are moro valuable to the
oultivator than the separate grains of
gold that the miner. with careful toll,
gathers and washes from tho earth and
sand bank. He hunts, gathers, and
saves them all, and thus accumulatoa
his pile. Philosophical, suceesoful
oultivators can see the glittor Of gold
even in the manure heap; they oniy
wait little longor than the minor for
the pure gold to be washed out by tho
growing process, instead Of In tbe
wash pan.
GA word to tho wiao is sufficient"

ed. The frequency with which chang.
ss have been recently proposed has
been miscbievous in it's effocts. The
people, not without reason, have be-

Experiments in legislation are mis-
chievous enough in their effects upon
people, but they are harmless in
comparison with experiments upon the
Constitution. The practice of change
once begun ia in danger of going To-
excess, and the facility of change oncs
established diminisbes the sanctity Of
any obligation which the Constitution

has his hands and graves full. In some
cases burials are made by night; Despite
every precauti0n the contagion remains as
deadly as ever, and though it can scarcely
be said to be increasing, its decline IS
hardly perceptible. All the pest houses are
full. In some cases vaccination seems TO
have entirely lost IFS power, and men,
women and children, with vaccine scars on
their arms as large as twenty Shilling

Valentines Day is festival 10 the calendar
in honor Of st. Valentine, who suffered
martyrdOm in the reign Of the emperor
ClaUdius. He was eminently distinguished
for his love and charity; and the custom Of
choosing Valentines or rHpseial loving friends
on this day, is BY some supposed to have
thence originated. The following solution
is, however, the more probsble.one. Il was
the practics in ancient Rome, during a great
part Of the month Of February, to celebrate
the LuPercalia, which were feasts in honor
Of Pan and Juno, whence the latter deity
was named Februsta; or Februalis. On this
occasion, amidsa variety u cewmohies, the
names of young women we're put into box,
from which they were drawn BY the men, as
chance directed. The pastors Of the early
Christian church, who by every possible
means eadeafored 70 eradicate the vestiges
of pagan suPerstitioDs, and chiefly by some
Of their forms, substituted IN
the present Instance, the names Of particular
saints, instead of those of the women; and as
the festival Of the LupeFcalia had commenc-
ed about the middle of February, they ap-
pear to have chosen Yalentine's-day for ceIe-
bSating The new feast, because Il occurred
nearly at the same time.
