Romance in the Treasury.

A correspondent says sI am ac-
quainted with 6 lady who writes Spen-
cerian pages In the patent Office st
Washington for 5000 year. Her father
was naval officer of long and merito-
rious service, and died rear admiral.
Her husband put $40, 600 on the wroEg
side of the stock sale in New York, lost,
sneaked TO the hereafter through the
back-door of the suicide. Patient and
lOvable, she works as steadily as If
some mighty reward were near at hand.
1 suppose it is hope on, hope ever, with
her, though nobody can see anything
she has to expect more than a fife of
routine and an humble grave. In Paris
she would have flown first to the streets
and then to the charcoal brazier. In
London it would have been the Argyll
rooms, gin, and the waters of Black
friar's bridge, As you pass the tables
of the ladies IN the treasury building
you are moving among the better ma
terials for romances than exist in the
teeming brains of Hugo or Turgenieff
You see that second woman to your
left, whispered Spinner. Her father
was once at the head of two railroads.
The '57 panic laid him out. She mar
ried Baden baron, aud he left her in a
year or two for some Dutch fame. She
has a noble little boy, five years old
now. SAYS she is going to fit him for
Harvard by and by, and then make
senator of him. Watch her count that
money. You cannot move your fingers
up and down IN the air as fast as she
brushes of the single notes. Never
did a days work of any kind in her life
till she came here

Butler in New Orleans.

GA Rebels Recollections " in the
August Atlantic, concerns itself with the
conduct of the southern women during
the war. Here is an anecdote of a
young lady who had framed a bit of
Gen. b. f. Buffers handwriting:
In New Orleans, soon after the war,
saw In drawingroom one day an
deliberately framed letter, of which, the
curtain being drawn, could only read
the signature, which, to my astonish-
ment, was that of Gen. Butler.
What is that?" asked of the young
gentlewoman was visiting.
"Oh, that's my diploma, my certif-
cate of good behavior, from Ger. But
Ter, and taking it down from the wall,
permitted me to read it, telling me at
She same time it's history. It seems
that the young lady had been very ac-
go - A. og confederates to escape
from New Orleans, aud for this and 9th
er similar offenses she was arrested
several times. A gentleman who knew
Gen. Butler personally had interested
himself in behalf of her and some of
her friends, and upon making an appeal
for their discharge received this per
sonai n.te from the commanding gener.
al, in which he declared his willingness
TO discharge all the others. But that
blscS-eyed Miss b, " he wrote, "seems
to me an incorrigible little devil whom
even pris fare won't tame" The
young lady had framed the note, and
she cherishes it yet, doubtless.
Many of the southern women during
the war denied themselves not only del
icaeies, but even substantial food also.

ions for the army. One of them was
told by friend than she was breaking
down her health by lack of proper diet,
and answered, a" 1 know that very well,

EDITORIAL notices are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion OF the merits
of any article without being suspected
of interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us fiom saying what
we think of a new addition to the Ma
terra Medica to which our attention has
been recently directed. We refer to DR..
J. Walkers California Vinegar Bitters,
a remedy which is making its way into
more families Just now than all the other
advertised medicines put together. Tvs
popularity, as far as we can Judge, Is
not based on empty pretension. There
seems TO be no question about the po-
tency of its tonic and Alternative proper
ties, while it possesses the great mega
tive recommendation of containing nei-
Their alcohol ner mineral poison. That
It IS a specific for indigestion, bilious
ness, constipation, and many complaints
of nervous origin, We have reason to
know; and we are assured on good au-
thority that as a general inyigOrant,
regulating end purifying medicine, it
has no equal. 1t is stated that its in
gradients, obtained from the Wilds of
California; are new to the medical
world and its extraordinary effects Ger
tainly warrant the conclusion that it is
a compound OF agents hitherto unknown.
If popularity is any criterion there can
be no doubt of the efficiency Of the
Vinegar Bitters, for the sale of the ar
Gcle is immense and continually in
creasing.

The Child kidnapped in Philadelphia.

It is known everywhere that a little
four-year-old boy, the son of Mr.. q. K.
Ross, of Germantown, has bcSn g kid
mapped" That occurred on last We'd
nesday two weeks ago. DULY y. The
little fellow was playing with brother
a year or two older, on Washington
lane, Germantown, when two men, who
were driving in a wagon along the lane,
stopped 10 talk TO the children and Of
fered them some candy. The missing
child, understanding that he could get
a ride IN the wagon, chiidlike took ad-
vantage of the opportunity, and with
his older brother, got INTO the wagon.
The men then drove of with both.
Some hours later, the wagon having in
the meantime been driven into the
northeastern part of the city, the older
boy was Induced 10 leave the wagon
and his younger brother on the pres
ence of buying some fire-crackers, and
when he returned the man and the
wagon and his brother were gone. This
older boy was soon returned to his
home, but since that time the younger
child has not been seen by any friendly
eye, and his whereabouts are unknown
to the family and police authorities.
There was some delay in getting word
to the chief of the detective police, but
since he frss got information, We believe
ne has worked earnestly, diligently and
faithfully 10 get upon the track of the
child aud the thieves without ioterhnis-
sion to the present time. Whether all
has been done with the best judgment
or under the best advice, it would be
premature to say at present. So the
matter rests, without result.
The declared object of the thieves,
or of those for whom they are acting, is
TO extort large sum Of money BY way
Of ransom after the manner of The bru-
tai cutthroats called brigands," IN

best treatment is to give purge, if tie
bowels are eonstipated, but if there is
considerable looseness, an ounce of
aromatic piTits of ammonia might be
given, in a pint of water. The feet
should be bathed copiOusly in hot
water, and the body should be rubbed
briskly with q coarse wooden cloth, and
afterwards clothed with a blanket. If
perspiFation and discharge from the
nostrils can be induced, a cGreis begun.
To effect this, a bag of scalded ehaff
should be hung around the muzzle, and
wetted occasionally with hot water ami
vinegar. After the bowels are regulated.
two ounces of sulphate of potash may
be given night ard moIninl, until the

Der of twelve fine rats arrived at a GER

killed the day before on the pulling
down of q wheat stack, so that they had
been clean feeders, and they were all
plump and comely to look at. The three
largest, which were yeritable mon
sters. were selected for roasting. At the
appointed time party of six sat down
to test their merits. After soup and
fish the head waiter, with an expression
of pity not unmingled with contempt,
brought in the roast. Half rat, which
had been carefully wrapped in bacon
previous TO the roasting, was served to
each. It was trying moment, but the
plunge was taken, and the first mouth
