The Prisoners Of the War.

:
!Chss. A. Dana II tks- .liew York Sun
sars: Mr. J. NJ. Jones Of Worcester,
Macs, desires information on the follow.
ing points:
"Wbo was responsible for the non
exchange of prisoners in the year 1864 !
Did the rebel Government ever refuse to
exchange white prisoners, man for man ?
Were any colored prisoners ever ex-
changed at any time during the WARP
Why was not Jefferson Davis tried p
We answer these questions in their or
der. The Administration OF Mr.. Lin.
coin was responsible for the non-ex.
change OF prisoners in the year 1854 -
The President had entire control OF the
subject. Gen. Grant advised against ex.
changes, on the ground that by sending
back to the Confederate armies healthy,
vigorous men, and getting starved and
sick ones in exchange, the disproportion
in strength OF the two sides would be
diminished and the Confederates would
thereby be better euabled to continue
the war. Upon this theory the Admin
istration acted, and they alone were re-
sponsible for the act.
We do not think the rebel Govern
ment ever refused to exchange white
prisoners; aud as for the colored, there
never we're manv Of them that could
have been exchanged. Very likelv they
might have refused 10 exchange them /;
but on this subject we have no positive
knowledge
Jeffels m Davis was not tried because
the Administration. President Grant be-
ing at the head OF it, thought 1t better
not to try him. He was arraigned in
May, 1867, before the United s ates Cir.
cult Court at Richmond. on the charge
OF treason. and in December, 1858. q
~slk rTosegai was en,ered. This was
entirely an act OF policy on the part of
President Grant Had be 80 willed, .
trial would have taken place; but we
think that the most patriotic and inteIli-
gent men will now agree that in every
respect 1t Was wiser that there shoa Id be
no trial, and that Mr.. Davis should be
released.

With heavy steps and heavier hearts, and

Locked in each others, while the twilight gray
Settled upor the lands.
And as they slowly took their homeward path
From either heart vent up silent prayer
That heaven would arrest the tempest's wrath
And one dear sailor spare.

Swift be thy going. swift thy coming be;
Gladdening his mothers and his swsetheart's

Dampening the Air.

We urge the importance of providing
ample moisture in all rooms heated BY
stoves. furnaces, steam pipes, or hot water
pipes. There are sound. scientific reasons
for it. as we'll as in the results of practi-
cal experience. Every degree of heat
added to the atmosphere in room gives
it power of absorbing and secretng
moisture. The air in room 90 by 20
feet. ten feet high, at 80 degrees. holds
and secretes about l-3 pints OF water.
The same air heated to 20 degrees, Sc
cretes upwards of two quarts of water,
and unless this is supplied it is hungry
for more water, absorbes it from every
accessible source. from the furniture,
from our bodies. and especially from the
breathing organs-the mouth, throat, and
lungs, leaving them dry and husky
Therefore every time the air in the room
is changed by the admission of fresh,
cold air, and heated to 40 degrees, two
quarts of water should be evaporated into
the room. The strong objections some
have to warm-air heaters have arisen
mainly from this cause. In stove heated
rooms there should usually be an evapor,
ating surface of water equal to one square
foot for every II feet square of flooring
and more of the water is not on a hot
place enough to keep it rapidly evaporat
ing. Plants in a room are mainly de
stroyed. or have a sickly growth, because
the warm air becomes too dry and sucks
out tie very juices of the plants. In
a warm room. a large towel frequently we
and wrung out so as not to drip. and hung
over a chair back near the stove. will
make a marked difference in the comfort
able feeling and healthfulness of the at
mosphere. Selected.

Poisonous Beans.

the circumstance until month ago we
were called in consultation with physician
to investigate the symptoms of poison in
a little girl, aged perhaps seven years. The
attending physician decided she was suffering
from some sort of poisoning that the symp-

to irregular habits of eating, and partly to the jar of
