Bull Run and gettysburg.

When Gen. Getty, commander of the
garrison at Fortress Monroe, received
Capt. Wise and the Richmond Blues,
with band of music at Old Point the
other day, as soon as the music struck
up it frightened the team of country
man, consisting of runt of bull
hitched to stick cart, to such an ex-
tent that he ran into and demoralized
the entire command. When order had
been somewhat restored, Capt Wise
wittily remarked to Gen. Getty:
Another Bull Run, General"
eyes," replied the General, "a regular
rout; but 1 promise when you get in

CURRENT CURIOSITIES.

THERE were two chickens Matched
from the same egg, at Cumberland, KY.
a few weeks ago. Both are living and
doing well.
A CHILD was born in Queens county,
Canada, a short time ago, with bears
head, the rest of the body being per
fectly natural. The mother was at
Fredericton with her offspring during
the visit of Barnum's exhibition, and
the veteran Snowman, hearing of the
curiosity, attempted to purchase it, but
nothing would induce the woman to
part with her child.
AN English physician relates that on
the 18th of February his wife, after mix
ing some corn meal for feeding the
fowls, missed her wedding ring from her
finger, and after a frlntless search gave
it up for lost. On the 9Th Of April,
while eating an egg at breakfast she
felt the eggspoon CRATE against some
thing hard at the bottom of the egg be-
low the yelk, and on further investiga-
ton found the lost ring firmly fixed by
membranous adhesions to the bottom
of the egg. The egg was of extra-large
size, and was laid the day before.
THE Mexico (Mo.) Ledger relates the
following: Con the Odd day of last
May, Daniel Corker, of South Mexico,
died, as it was thought, in rather poor
circumstances. B. r. Cauthorn was
appointed administrator of the estate,
and few days since, NJ. Y. Duncan and
j. j. Steele, as appraisers, visited the
house of Corker to invoice the property
of the deceased. After going over
various cid notes, etc, etc., they we're
about to leave when they saw an old
leather trunk in the corner, which they
kicked open more out of curiosity than
with the expectation of finding any
thing valuable in it. When will wonders
cease? In that trunk was nearly $780,
600 in old, rusty coin and musty bank
notes. The coins and notes all bear an
old date, showing that Corker did not
believe in banking his money, but
harded it up"
WE clip the following from the Tai
labassee FlOTidia11 eve are informed
S1SsO u SCuJlSultiu ISSluluS III w dhlllld
county, by the name of Cox, who is cul-
tivating a small farm, upon arising one
morning last week was surprised to find
that during the night his residence had
been changed from region where water
could not be seen and was situated on
the border of lake. When he retired
the evening before his house was far
away from any pond, lake or river, but
upon going out next morning his s1lr-
prise can be imagined when, instead OF
his garden, an immense sink, fifty or
sixty yards square, filed with water,
running up within eighteen or twenty
feet of his residence, met his gaze.
During the night this transformation
occurred, leaving not even vestige of
the tallest pine trees which were stand
ing in their full majesty only twelve
hours before. These sinks, however,
are not infrequent in that county. 1t
has only been short time since that O
sink occurred near Lavender's mill,
more remarkable than the one alluded
to above, in that it occurred upon the
very top of a hill-one of the highest
points of land in that county. Will
not some one explain these occur
rences?"

How to Get a Lover.

In Lancashire, if an inquirer wishes
to know the abode of a lover, an apple
pippin is taken between the thumb and
finger, and, while moving round,
squeezed out, when it is supposed to fly
in the direction of the lovers house.
These words are said at the same time ::
Pippin, pippin, paradise,
Tell me where my true love Ties;
East, west, north or south,
Pilling.Brig or CoCkermouth.
Halliwell, in his Popular Rhymes"
(1849), says that girls formerly prac-
ticed divination with a "St. Thomas
onion" which they peeled, wrapped in
a clean handkerchief, and laid under
their heads, saying the following
rhyme:
Good st. Thomas, do me right
And see my true love come tonight,
That may see him in the face,
And him in kind arms embrace.
In Shropshire, to find ones future
partner the blade-bone of lamb must
be procured, which is to be pricked at
midnight with penknife, and these
words repeated
sis mott his bone wish to pick,
But my loves heart wish to prick
If he comes not and speaks tonight,
III prick and prick Til it be light
In Derbyshire they have a method
which it would take q bold heart to
perform; the young woman, to find out
her future husband, runs round the
church at midnight, as the clock strikes
IL, repeating the following:
1 SOW hemp-seed hemp-seed 1 SOW;
He that loves me best
Come and after me NOW.
After which her destined partner is be-
lieved to follow her.

The beauty and usefulness OF green
backs. Dow that they are It Par With
gold and silver, are recognized from
PASSPORT to San Diego and from Key

more desirable than gold. and. when
obtained, more prized. This condition
Of affairs is bringing about another
trouble, for which expansion seems
TIE only relief The volume Of green
backs is not being increased. while the
trade and population Of the country
are. Greenbscts. therefore, daily be-
come scarcer, and are noticeably 30

and twelve years ago. Now 1t seems
TO Ne thst, il greenbscks are such an
excellent thing for The nation and

to make q few more. They can be
made . great deal cheaper tbaa gold.
and - long - the Government prom
Uses 10 redeem them and has the ability
to make ito promise good. they'll be
worth as much or more. It appears to
rs that issuing greenbacks to supply
an actual want is q good deal better
than turning six per cent. Government
bonds into four per cents BY the
latter process two cents on every dol
lar Of the debt so turned is saved each
year to the people. BY the former six
cents can be saved. aud in turning our
I've and six per cent. bonds into green
backs We would save as people thirty
or forty million dollars in interest
every year. This is certainly an object.
Another object 10 be regarded is the
driving into private enterprises the
hundreds Of millions Of capital now
invested 10 these Government bonds.
We doubt not that the green back Gle
ment will gather considerable strength
during the coming year, aud tbat in the
next Congress. il not in the present
one, it will make itself felt 40 political
power OF no light weight. We have no
faith in greenback parties. any more
than We have in temperance parties;
but greenback men. like temperance
men, will be found in both parties. and
will be the more effective in consc-
quepce.
