There is one thing we admire in the
conduct of Wade Hampton at this time,
and which. like charity, covers multitude
of previous sins. and that is his earnest
advice to the confederates, as well as to
the colored people, to submit to the law,
preserve their tempers, commit no violence
Keep cool and let us have peace, is his
command to his partisans, This advice is
not only right, but it is. like honesty, the
best policy, and will do more to ultimately
give his side the victory in the struggle
than all the force of the ''SoIid South" in
battle array. Hampton has made tens Of
thousands of new friends in the north
within the past ten days. The Democratic
hot-heads of the north who are bowling fol-
war would do well to follow Hampton
advice, and let the lawyers and the courts
do the fighting IL Chicago Tribune.


The fact is, there are no Democratic
hot heads 10 the north. howling for war
The Republicans only wish there were
The Democrats want just what Grant or

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common In
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure TO miasmatic
exhalatiops, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects bis
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends

leading to intermittent fever, to provide

he had bya mistake taken some other
mans bucket out of the mine and that

men of crystalllzed quartz which he had
placed in his own bucket, held $500 in

other man, pale. hprgard, and out of

accents wild asked; did you see him ?
Where is he? Where did be go?' Az,
ter calming the excited individual so that

that he was owner Of the bucket which
Mcleod had just brought to the surface.
The owner thereof was shown his treas,

All explosions of coal oil LAMBS me

no gas but Immediately on lighting
the lamps consumption of oil begins,
soon leaving space for gas, whicl,
commences to form as the lamp warns

sufficient gas will accumulate to form
an explosion. The gas in . lamp will
explode only when ignited. In this
respect it Is like gunpowder. Cheap
or inferior oil is always the most dam

The flame is communicated to the

larger than the wick which is to pass
through it. 1t would not do to have
the wick work tightly in the burner;
on the contrary, 1t is essential that it

In this way it is unavoidable that space
IN the tube is left along the sldes of
the wick sufficient for the flame from
the burner to pass down into the lamp
and explode the gas.


Many things may occur to cause the

where there is q draft or out of doors

4. A lighted lamp is taken up a

place 1t on the mantel, resulting in an
explosion. In al these cases the mis-,

either by suddenly checking the draft,
or forcing air down the chimney against

3. Blowing down the chimney to
extinguish the light is frequent cause

6. Lamp explosions have been
caused by using chimney broken of

An ex-soldier, bearing an appearance of having lately passed through a severe campaign, recently made descent upon the school on Cornwall Plains, and created quite a sensation by informing the schol- ars that he had made extensive arrange ments to transfer their brains in baskets to California by the overland route.

 This alarming piece of information cre- ated panic in the juvenile ranks, and there was general stampede by rear window, the teacher meanwhile meekly obeying instructions previously received, to remain as quiet as possible.

 Facetiousness in a military man is both rare and unexpected, but whether from the effect of this extraordinary season or some new substance employed in the adulteration of our modern ''tanglefoot," 'tis certain that one of our ex-warriors has of late become most extraordinary ''wag."

 We wish to say that J. G.. B., in his interesting account of the '.treacle party. forgot or omitted to state some things of interest The party originated through the efforts of some ladies who are aware that even ''leap year" contains but three hundred and sixty-six days. He was perhaps unwilling to add that some young men were drawn by necessity to make some very rash promises, which they now feel utterly unable to fulfil. One tender-hearted young man tries to excuse himself by saying that making bad promise IS great deal better than lacerating the heart or wounding the ten- der sensibilities of the s'sweet creatures" It is wicked for young men to tell lies but there are extenusting circumstances which should recommend them to mercy. 9 8s4tass DIcKRY.

When on my ear your loss was knallei.
And tender sympathy upburst,
A little rill from memory swe'led


Which once had soothed my bitter thirst.
And was fan to bring to you


Some portion of it's mild relief,
That it might be as healing dew


To steal some fever from your grief.
After our child 8 untroubled breath,
Up to the Father took its way.
And on our home the shade Of death


Like long twilight haunting lay.
And friends came round with rs to weep
His little spirits swift remove,
This story of the Alpine sheep


Was told to us by one we love.
"They, in the valleys sheltering care


Soon crop the meadows tender prime,
And when the sod grows brown and bare,
The Shepherd strives to make them climb
'To airy shelves of past ure green,


Which hang along the mountain side
Where grass and flowers together lean,
And down through mist the sunbeams slide
hut naught can tempt the timid things
That steep and rugged path to try.
Though sweet the Shepherd calls and sings
And scared below the pastures lie,
It'll in his arms their lambs he takes
Along the dizzy verge to go,
Then needless of the riffs and breaks


They follow on o er rock and snow.
And in those pastures lifted fair,


More dewy soft than lowland mead,
The Shepherd drops his tender care


And sheep and lambs together feed.
This parable, by nature breathed,


Blew on me as the South wind free
Der frozen brooks that float unsheathed
From icy thraldom, to the sea.
A blissful vision through tho night


Would all my happy senses sway,

 on his late visit to Tucson, took look

 through the Surveyor Generals Office

 here, and as giving an average of the opinions expressed by visitors to that office, we quote the above editor. He says:

 In these times of official delinquen- cies, it is pleasant to note an officer and an office above reproach. On our recent visit to Tucson, the Surveyor General of Arizona had the kindness to take us through his office and show Us everything pertaining thereto. We were struck with the systematic order prevailing everything. His office is a model of official order He has a svs- tenn of books, established by himself, in which all the receipts and disburse- ments of the office are entered monthly, quarterly and yearly, and summed up so plainly that "he who runs may read :" One of the most pleasant things connected with the matter, is the fact that the books show that the officer has never overdrawn tn e amount appropriated by Congress for hIs office, but in every case has under drawn. In fact in some cases the books show at the end of the year $1700 un- which was returned to the United States Treasury. Such a show ing Is certainly very creditable.
