About Thumbs.

We suppose that ali our readers
know that man would not be what he
is without the thumb. This little fact
has been &c impressed upon us from
school days that We are not likely
to forget it. Without the thumb for a
lever, we would be unable to hold any
thing tightly, and most of the inven-
tiOns of u era would be useless, not
to speak of the enormous general
power that would be lost. Let us &C
cept the fact of having thumbs, then,
and be thankful and rejoice over our
Darwinian friends, the apes. We did
not know, however, until we saw it in
print lately, that the thumb
represented intelligence and affection.
Born idiots frequently come into the
world without thumbs. Infants. until
they arrive at an age when intellect
dawns, constantly keep their fingers
folded above their thumbs. but they
soon know better, and, as the mind de-
velops, recognize the dignity and use
fulness of the despised digit. At the
approach of death the thumbs of the
dying, rs if impelled by some vague
fear, seek refuge under the fingers, and
when thus found are almost ceytaan m.
pounoenea4Uf the end. 30, in leaving
this world, it would seem that our
hands, in their last desire for move
ment, assume, with our growing un-
|consciousness, the same suggestive
position in which the hands of the new
born babe, with faculties all dormant,
first shape themselves. Small thumbs
denote an affectionatc disposition ; long
thumbs 60 with long heads; short,
thick, stumpy thumbs mark . cruel
man, and much more is told us of the
same kind.-Baltim0re Gazette.

For nearly q mile from this locality

evidences of this fact have sometimes
been discovered in the debris that is

the church are now less than fifty yards
from the water, and must, in time, be
submerged unless some action be taken
to prevent it. The tower, ivy-grown
and picturesque as it is, lifts itself some
thirty-five feet above the plain, and is
eighteen feet square. 1t is impossible
to ascertain the exact date of the con-
struction of this old building, for it was

at Ivry and Argues was disconnected
with the treatment he received from
the king, and, though he was made Gov

conspired against Henry w., who par.
doned him again and again. His last
crime was to propose to Spain and Sa-
voy that France should be dismembered;
and, as a reward of his treason, the
Duke of Savoy, was to bestow upon him
the hand of his daughter, and he wa to
be created the reigning prince of Bur-

spondence was published between Dr..
Joseph Jones, Secretary of the Histori.

States. From that source We CLEAN the
following facts for the benefit of those
who are not 30 fortunate as to have pre-
served . file of the magazines. Such
facts are startling even te those who
participated in the Southern struggle:
First-The available force of the Con.
federste army did not, during the wal,
exceed 600, 600 men.
Second-The Confederate States never
had in THAR defense more than 200, 600
men in the field at one time.
Third-From 1851 to 1865 the Con-
federate forces actively engaged were
only coo, 600.
Fourth-The total number of deaths
during that time were 200, 600.
Ffth-LOsses of prisoners counted as
total losses, on account of the United
States policy of exchange, 200, 600.
Sixth-The loss of the Confederate
States army by discharge, disability,
and desertion, amounted to 100, 600.
Seventh-At the close of the war, the
force Of the Confederate army was less
than 100,
Eighth-Out Of 6O0, 600 men, 500, 900
were lost to the service.
