During the rebellion the staff of Gen. Wise
were riding through rather forlorn part of
North Carolina a young Virginian of the
staff concluded to have some fun at the ex-
pense of a ong-legged specimen of the genus
homo, who wore very shabby gray uni
form, and bestrodea worm fence at the road
side.
"How are you, North Carolina2"
Chow are you, Virginia. 2" was the ready
respone.
The staff continued:
"The blockade on turpentine makes you
hard up, don't it 1? No sale for tar now, is
there 2"
"Well-yes," was the slow response-"w we
sell our tar to JEFF. Davis now"
1.-THE thunder you do. What on earth
does the President want with your tar 2"
North Carolina answered: " He puts it
on the heels of Virginians to make them
stick on the battlefield p
The staff rode on.

The New York San says that on the ar
rival of the steamer Java, of the Cunard
line, at that port on Wednesda~, she was
boarded by couple of revenue officers, who,
among the passengers, found two persons
suspected of having false bottoms to their
trunks, and the officers ''went for Them"
Examination proved their suspicious to be
we'll grounded, and $4,000 worth OF rings,
watches and diamonds changed hands in a
twinkling. The feminine detective officers
of the Custom House were equally alert, and
captured on the persons of two gaily- dressed
damsels on the vessel $4,000 worth of jew
elry. There was weeping and wailing and
crashing of gums and store teeth on board
the Java.

PREcocIoUs COTTON PLANT-We were
shown on yesterday by our friend, Jas.
W. Buck, cotton plant grown on his farm
some two miles east of Raleigh, which had
sixteen leaves and two squares, was twelve
inches high, and which no doubt would
have bloomed about the list of July next
This is the earliest of the season, and we
ask, who can beat it?
