WAR ANEcDoTE.-We find in an
English book of travel an anecuo1e
of the war that we do not remenoe. !;
to have seen. At all events d. Is
worth reproducing:
When the Mississippi cavalry, re-
,rooting from Corinth, had Joined
PembeTton's army at Granada, a lad
came riding into camp one day, cry
ing ont to the soldiers that he had
brought important news from head
quarters.
"What is it?"
"a flag of truce from Grant"
"From Grant, What does he
wanty'N
Nothing much, " said young Quiz,
"only he says he wants to conduct
the war on civilized principles; and
as he intends to shell this here town,
he requests that the women and
children, aud the Mississippi cavalry
be carefully removed out of the way
of danger"

Horace Greeley used to affirm that
newspaper men were the most pa-
tient people, as a class, on earth,
and he was not far from right, though
there are times when patience ceases
to be a virtue with the most endur-
ing. Nearly everybody in the west
ern part of the State knows Burr,
who used to start a newspaper about
once a year round, generally bring
inc them out in Grand Rapids, but
sometimes making a flying tram to
other points. Burr eoulu sVSnu 70

tbins about publishing newspaper,

thrash him, he only smiled q sad
smiIe and wished that mankind
wouldn't get excited. During re-
ligious reXigsl in Grand Rapids, Burr
was converted, end it frequently

How sonIs Made.

Prof. Agassiz said that all the ma
terials on which agriculture progress
depends are decompOsed rocks, and
not so much those that underlie the
soil, but those on the surface, and to
powder by the glaciers. Ice all over
the continent is the agent that has
ground out more soil than all other
agencies put together. The pene-
tration of water into the rocks, for
ests, running water and baking suns
have done Something, but glaziers
more. In former age United States
were covered with ice several thou
sand feet thick; and the ice moving
from north to south by the attraction
of the tropical warmth or pressing
weight of snow and ice behind,
ground the rocks over-which
was called soil. These masses
of ice can be tracked by the hun
ter. He has made study Of them
in the country as far south as Ala
hama, but has observed the same
phenomenon in Europe, particular
iy in Italy, where, among the Alps
GLACIERS are now in progress. The
stone and rocks ground and polish
ed by the glaciers can easily be dis
tinguished from those scratched by
running water. The angular build
ers found in meadows and the ter
races of rivers not reached by water
can be accounted for only in this
way.

A California 'cracker" came
along, read the sign, concluded that
the state of his beard justified him
IN paying a penny for drink, paid
his penny, and was somewhat stag
gered by demand of dime for his
drink.
"Didn't you-uns sign tell me-uns
that you-uns would shave me-uns for

He then stepped out and read as
