Herr Wachenhusen, Of the Cologne
Gazette, thus moralizes on his five and
one-half months experience i'd the
field: 4
It Is terrible always to be writing
about blood-seelng, thinking, dream
ing Of blood. One gradually falls into
q mood repugnant to human nature,
for everything around us Is negation,
destruction, devastation in the most
brutal fashion. The eye gets accus-
toned to seeing every object displaced
and destroyed, the mind ~degenerates
into bad instincts, into a kind Of child
ish maliciousness, which leads the most
intelligent and peaceful into acqulsi-
tive tendencies, and causes hIm-he
himself does not know why-to de-
stroy wherever an object meets him,
even the most trivial thing, which has
yentured to escape the general destruc-
tion and still to exist intact.
A timepiece which we see still on
thine antlepiece, and the pendulum Of
which moves backwards and forwards
with q tranquil tick-taek, makes us
nervous, for It has yet to 20 the way
where everything else has gone. Who
has permitted It. to stand still n
touched under its glass casep A cup,
the handle of which, ut least, Is not
broken; = glass, a plate, which posi-
bly, Is even gilded a vase, which an
noys us with Its brightly-colored pasto-
raj groups; a picture, which still hangs
peacefully In its frame; q window
curtain, from which not half a dozen
pocket handkerchief, at least, have
been cut out a boot which, at least,
has not been worn away or patched top
and bottom-in a word, every article
which Is not half or wholly destroyed,
excites US to nervous longings, for ey-
erythlng must be ruined, because ev-
erything has become ownerless.
Nobody has In this war q right to his
life, for the first bullet may at the next
moment blow 1t out of him ; no roof
has a right to stand on a house no in
dividuaI has any moral right Of own
ership to any article, which somebody
else may ut the first opportunity de-
prive him of because he thinks 1t more
necessary for himself. Yonder still
stands q house, cottage-the win
dows Of which are yet entire. An
hour later a few bottles or legs of
chairs 90 crashing through the panes,.
or q she'll comes and ruins the whole
building. Youder is a carriage, an
equipage, which perhaps belongs to an
Intendant. Tomorrow morning 1t Is
mutilated, for the soldiers wanted the
leather to make boots of. Thus every
thing combines to destroy everything.
The eye gradually longs again for the
culture which constructs, the thoughts
turn gradually to a yearning for peace
and order, but where are they to be
found? The ruin must 90 OH.

DEATHFRoM VAccINATIoN.-We were
informed last evening that quite a con-
sternation had been created among the
people at Avon Springs yesterday by
the fact that two children belonging 10
Michael Mckay had died by being
poisoned by the virus used In their
vaccination. 1t seems that a few cases
Of smallpox occurred In the locality
named, and the citizens, becoming
alarmed, had their children inoculated.
About a dozen of them are reported to
be seriously i'll from the effects Of this
treatment, but by a dispatch received
last night we are informed that none
of the little ones have yet died except
ing the two aforementioned. The death
of the first one occurred about l o'clock
Sunday night. and the next died at 2
o'clock yesterday morning. The name
of the physician who administered the
vaccine matter which has produced
such lamentable results Is known, but
we do not feel disposed to make 1t pub

TENNESS1H.

-
The financial condition Of Tennessee
is in rather a bad way, with little pros
pect Of immediate improvement. 1t.
has a bonded debt, the interest on
which for the year 1871 will not be.
less than eighteen hundred thousand
dollars. There Is a floating debt due
and demanding extinguishment OF
more than five million and a half dol
lars. The current yearly expenses OF
the State Government are not less than
six hundred thousand dollars. Here
are nearly three m~illions'to be paid, or
not paid, before January, 1872. In
addition to this present and pressing
obligation, the State Treasury Is forced
vet to receive and retire nearly a mil
lion and a quarter Of dollars of Bank
of Tennessee circulation, as payment
of taxes for dues to 1t. The available
resources to meet this debt, principal
and interest, are q tax leviable on two
hundred and fifty millions Of property,
and. In addition, a privilege tax which
may yield three hundred and fifty thou
sand of revenue. This is the main and
only legitimate reliance. Thres-quar-
tiers Of a million yearly, out of thirty
three millions Of the bonded debt, Is
the most that can be expected in the
retiring Of bonds from solvent and
able railroad corporations to whom the
State has loaned its bonds. A month
ago the Legislature authorized a loan
by the hypothecation of bonds Of $780,
900, to meet due and current expenses,
but failed in its negotiation. In addi-
ton to these complications, the State
has a hundred thousand bonds and
coupons already pledged In New York
for money previously borrowed. This
fact alone, stated in an official report
of the Treasurer, sufices to silence all
cavil and question as to the necessities
of the State financial situation, and
should dismiss from the mind Of every
legislator the thought that any tempo
rary expedient can relieve 1t, or that,
by any process Of procrastination, the
ultimate remedy will not devolve upon
the taxpayers.

the nasty sensation Of the Eastern

loot possesses a DEVILS faculty for

mensely rich. He sets Courts, and
corporations, and public decency, and
manly honor, all at defiance, and rides
rough shod over all the proprieties.

GENERAL BoYNroN's DARKEY-When
General Boynton was in the South,
swarthy, good natured darkey became
quite attached to that jolly son of
Mars and quill driver The General
in course of time, sent him to his faith
er. in Ohio. The old man asked Sam
if he knew anything about horses and
carriages. "Spec does, massa; was
massa's old coachman, dis chile was ="
He was told to go to the barn and
i" grease up" the buggy; meaning, OF
course, the wheels. After awhile Sam
was told to put the horse in the buggy,
which he did The old gent then got
in, but thought the dasher rather sticky
as he laid his hand on it to assist him
self in getting in. But what was his
horror to find that Sam had literally
CREASED up the buggy" for he had
applied the wheel grease to every part
of 1.-THE seat, top, sides, wheels, dash
err and shafts. His rage was not cool
ed much by Sans remarking, as he
scrambled out of the concern, Cola,
massa, couldn't grease dis yere har-
ness, cos dc grease it's all dun gone =
The same darby was afterwards
taken to the village with Mrs. b., who,
wishing to leave short message with
lady friend, and not desiring to get
out of the carriage, told Sam to get out
and ring the bell. Sam got out and
stood in the road, peering and gazing
up in the air and around the sides OF
the house, with his great hands stuck
in his trousers pockets. Mrs. B. asked
him what he was looking after. For

A MINIATURE SKELEroN-A physician
in Nevada is said to have an imitation
of a human skeleton only four inches
in length, so perfectly formed by a
japanese workman that close examina-
ton is needed to discover that it is the
work of a carver. The Virginia En-
te,prise says: So perfect is the skeleton
in every detail, that at the first glance
even physician is liable to be deceived
by it., The teeth, the markings of the
skull, the curved and flattened form of
the bones of the fore arm, the pelvis,
and, in fact, every part is fearfully and
wonderfully perfect.
The doctor says the carving must
have been done by a person well ac-
ouainted with anatomy. In its right
hand the skeleton holds staff which
reaches as high as its head, and around
the bottom of this staff is coiled ser,
pent (the well-known emblem of the
healing art), which rests its head upon
the knee of the figure; its left hand
holds a string of beads. Those &C
ouainted with the handiwork of the
Japanese carvers can readily imagine
how hideously minute in all its details
is this bit of fancy work. The doctor
declares he would not part with it for
$500. Accompanying the present was
the following note from the gentleman
who sent it: "What would have been
but for you" The doctor carried him
through severe attack of paralysis
some three years ago.
