BoUNTIEs FOR VETERANs.-All volun-
teers who enlisted for three years prior
to July %, 1861, and were mustered into
the United States service for three years
before August 6, 1861, are entitled to 500
bounty, if they have been honorably dis
charged and have not received tile same fol,
such service. Those enlisted and mustered
as above, who were discharged for promo,
ton, are not entitled to bounty, as such
discharge is not muster out OF service, as
is contemplated by General Order No. Is,
1861, under which the contract was made.
Where such soldiers have died since dis
charge, the recent law makes no provision
for bounty to heirs. Such as were dis.
charged by reason of wounds and heirs OF
such as were killed or died in the service,
have already had bounty granted uuder
other acts and take nothing under this.
Soldiers who have received bounty under
the act of July %, 1866, cannot receive
bounty under this, in consequence OF the
restrictions contained in the first-namei
act. Where an application for bounty
under the decision OF the Supreme Court
has been filed, no new application is neces-
sary unless called for by this Office. On
the Sd of May, 1861, the President, it will
by recollected, issued proclamation call
ing for 42,034 volunteers for three years.
On the 4th Of May, 1861, General Orders
No. Is were issued providing for an organi-
zation of those volunteers into forty regi-
ments,a and proclaimed bounty OF $780, in
addition to travel pay to his home, to each
enlisted man when honorably discharged
from the service. The promise was only
made to the volunteers called for in the
Presidents proclamation, but as eighty
two regiments were offered and accepted
before the passage o: the act of July 22,
1861, the enlisted men of which were alike
equitably entitled to the bounty, Congress
passed an act April %, 1872, to place those
enisting for three years before July %,
1861, upon tie same footing as to bounty.

A HERoINE.-Charles Reade, in bis new
novel, " A Simpleton," describes the her

scholar, a worse German, worst Eng
lisb, an admirable dancer, an inaccurate
musician, a good rider, bad draughts-
woman, y bald hairdresser, at the mercy
of her maids; a hot theologian, knowing
nothing; a sorry accountant, no house
keeper, no seamstress, a fair embroideress,
capital geographer, and no cook. Col

The Wrong Hotel.


pleasant story of an Englishman and his
wife, who not knowing word of German,
but being able to express themselves well
in French, resolved to visit Berlin aud
Dresden. At Berlin they had been recon-
mended to a hotel, whittier they were
riding in hack, when all at once the lady
espied an imposing edifce upon which
were inscribed in large letters the words
"Hotel Radzlevill." She cried out,
There is beautiful hotel, and the situa.
ton is splendid" "suppose We 60 there9'
suggested the husband. "All right" 1t
was done as soon as said Tie driver
was stopped. There were several ladies
about the hotel, but none of them spoke
either English or French. However the
servants wero made to understand by
guestures that they were to take in the
luggage, and the travellers were ceremoni'
ously conducted into an apartment. The
lady asked by signs for sleeping room,
TO which she was led, and on her return
said to her husband: "Inever saw in all
my life a hotel so admirably furnished
Come and see the chamber and sleeping
room!" Having dressed, our English
folks lunched and announced to the SER
vent that they would dine at five. They
went to walk. On their return gentle
man of distinguished appearance entered
their room, saluted them and said some
thing in German which they did not ur-
derstand. The Englishman thinking him
little familiar, replied carelessly in Eng.
lish, Good morning. How do you do9''
And the stranger withdrew. A delicious
dinner was served. When the servant
had gone, "My DEAR" said the gentleman
to his wife, call this is excellent. This
is evidently frst-class. But it must be
very dear, and as matter of prudence il
will be we'll to ask for the bill tomorrow "
morning" But he neglected to do so,
aud two days more passed like the first
At last the bill was asked for, but it was
not brought. 81 am beginning to be lit
tie uneasy, my DEAR" said the husband
"Surely no one could be better cared fol
than we are here, but I am persuaded the
charges will be frightful." At that mo-
ment the gentleman of distinguished ap'
pearance entered, and the following dia,
logue took place:
The Stranger am Prince Rad.
zievill"
The Englishman (rising and bringing 1
chair)-"To what may | attribute th'
honor of this visit 2"
The Prince-"You have evidentl!
taken this house for public hotel"
The Englishman-" Certainly"
The Prince" Well, this is my private
house, my hotel"
The Englishman was so astonished thai
he could make no reply and could not ex
plain the mistake of his wife, who, in th'
greatest CONSERVATION, began to tell the
prince in English that the word "hotel'
over the door had caused her error. Th'
prince, who saw their confusion, politely
expressed his satisfaction at having giveI
hospitality to English people, and begged
them to remain a few days longer that ht
might enjoy their society. Of course the
invitation was politely declined. The
Englishman succeeded in making the ser
wants accept few presents, and the
prince insisted upon accompanying then
to real "hotel" in his own carriage

bassador at Berlin.

LIGHTNING.-Water is 80 excellent a
conductor of electricity, that, under GER
tain circumstances, sheet of water af,
fords almost complete protection to what
ever may be below; but this does not
prevent fish from being killed by lightning,
as Arago has pointed out. In the year
1910, lightning fell on the Lake of Zirknitz,
and killed all the fish in it, 80 that the
inhabitants of the neighborhood were en-.
abled to fill twenty eight carts with the
dead fish found floating on the surface o.
the lake.

Disappearance ora school Girl

On the 18th instant young lady about tlf-
teen years of age daughter of one Of the most
respectable citizens Of Schenectady, left for
school as usual with her books in her aims,
and has not since been heard from. She was
last seen making her way across the river to
Glenville, and it is feared she has peIished in
some way. She was noticed day or two be-
fore she disappeared to act somewhat strangely,
and great anxiety is felt by her people, tearing
that her mind may have been in disordeled
state. and that she may have wandered into
some by-place and perished by exposure an(
cold. A similar case occurred not long since
when school girl of the same city disap'
peared. She was at length traced to Cohoes
and was returned to her home. Her min'
was al. cted, and ,he has not yet recovered.
