DRY EARTH SYSTEM!
For the Sewage of Towns, Factories,
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses.

4 MPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth
N System to be more efficient IN preventing foul
smells, and far less costly in construction and re-
pairs than the Water Closet System; and that it is
in all respects entirely satisfactory, whether Tor the
SICK ROOM or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun-
try, every benefit possessed by the Water Closet at
far less cost with the additional advantages that 1t
is portable and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
1t promises more in immunity from offensive
odors, from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are set-contained, and movable pail takes
the place of the vault.
For use in Bed Rooms, Hospital Wards Infrm-
aries, &c, the COmmode is Invaluable. It's entire
y free from those RANT, depressing doors, common
to portable dter closets and night stools and through
its admission Of the greatest miseries of human
life the foul smells of the sick room, and one of the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.

TIE New York Tribune's cOrrespon-
dent at Chalons speaks of great disor-
der in every branch of the French SER
vice, transcending even the confusion
Of the British army in the Crimea.
Arsene EOussaye says the Prussians
arc now the first in science as they are
the first in war. For twenty years the
French have studied war only in a SUI
perticial way. While making great
parade with her chassepOt rifles and
her horrid mitrailleuses, she has neg
lected the important branches of the
oommissary and quartermaster de-
partments. Theirs, in n speech deliv-
cred III the Corps Legislatif, stated
that he knew a month ago, that France
was utterly nnprepared for war. The
genius OF the great Napoleon was as
converSant with the minor details of
supply as with the grandest combina-
tons of strategy in the field. 1t was
his comprehensive intelligence that
rendered instantly available, upon any
given point, the military resources of
tho empire. For lack of this intelli-
gence the French armies are now like
a rope of sand beaten in detail, within
striking distance OF each other, by the
superior tactics of the Germans. The
operations Of this military power of
combination are clearly seen in the
compacs and steady movement. the
admirable discipline, and the splendid
esprit du corps of King Williams
army. There military science seems
ID have been laid, under contribution
ID its utmost resources in order to pro-
duco effective forces and cOmbina-
tons.

VIRGINIA IrENs,-The Enterprise
SAYS: We yesterday observed on our
streets q hunchbacked Indian, the
first Indian so deformed that we have
ever met with in any country. 1t has
always been supposed that children SO
deformed are put to death by the In
dams, and such may be the practice OF
some tribes; but the hunchback we
saw yesterday is a living proof that
the Piutes do not destroy such chill
dren as are deformed ut their birth.
Deformity Of person must be exceed
ingly rare among them, as we have
never before seen one of the tribe that
was deformed by nature. Like all
hunchbacks his eyes were piercing and
restless, and he had that peculiar look
of alertness and sharpness which is
characteristic of most persons so de-
formed. Why hunchbacks should
wear this look we cannot say, perhaps
the best answer is given by Bacon,
who says, in his essay on deformiiy,
"Whosocver hath anything fixed in
his person that doth induce contempt,
hath also a perpetual spur in himself
to rescue and deliver himself from
scorn; therefore all deformed persons
are extreme bold; first, as in their own
defense, as being exposedt to scorn. but
in process of time by general habit"
.........M. J. HaytOn, of this city, yes
terday sent a cage of twenty-seven
white rats to Boston, for the museum
in that city. He claims to be the only
person i'll the United States who has
this peculiar breed of rats. They are
larger than the common
rat, and are snow white with blOOd-red
eyes and pink tails and feet. Mr..
Hayton has sent to the East for n jet
black rat. from which he expects to
breed rats spotted black and white.
......A teamster who arrived in this city
yesterday from Reno says that man

MONEY.
Notwithstanding the abundant supply Of
funds in the different banks and in the hands
Of brokers, the market to-day is somewhat
close. and nothing except first class paper
could be discounted ut less than ~ per cent.
per month, the established rates for first class
notes being about 10 to ~ per cent, as quoted
yesterday. Phere is something Of an improved
demand for accommodations. which has a
tendency to make dealers independent. and
as a general thing, they pay but little atten-
tion to anything not A No. l. Exchange Is
more quiet, with firm market; little, how
ever, was done this morning. The rates con-
tinue at par buying. and from 4 to Il pre-
MUM selling. the latter being the outside
figure. There is an improved demand for city
bonds. and sales could be made at 49c; there
are none offering, however, and very little is
being done in them or city scrip. The latter is
weak zoe is the nominal selling rate, while 70
to T5c is asked by dealers. County warrants
continue in light request, and are bought spar
ingly by dealers at Y to 73c. The same parties
ask AZ to 75c. There is but little demand for
Tennessee money to-day, and sales could not
be effected at over 69c; dealers ask zoe, how
ever, with no takers. Gold opened at 1l3l4 in
New York this morning, and subsequently
dropped &c. The market here is void Of in
terest; scarcely any sales Of large amounts
have been made, so far, this week. Smalllots
are, however. taken by dealers at 1l21z. They
are in turn asking the rates quoted by New
York dispatches. Local railroad securities
continue quiet and unchanged. Government
securities opened dull in New York. There are
but few transactions in the same here-not
enough to establish quotations.
