Orpheu- C. R**K*a Visit to a Soldi*-- Sick Bed,
There is a certain something about a sick room,
my boy, tbat makes me think seriously of the lat-
ler eud, and recognise physieiauB as true heroes of
the battlefield. The subdued swearing of the sufferer on hiB bed, the muffl-'d trend ofthe venerable
Dane, as hhe cornea into the room to make sure
that the brandy recommended by tbe doctor is
not too mild for the patient, the sepulchral shout
of the regimental cat as she recognizes the tread
nl Lord Mortimer, the sergeant's bull-terrier outside; all these are thin us to make the spectator ie-
weu-ber that we are but dust, and that to return to
dust ia our destiny.
Early in the weik, my boy, a noble member of
the Pennsylvauia mud-larks was made Bick in a I
•strange manner. A draft ot picked men from
certain regimeuts was ordered for a perilous expedition dowu the river. You may be aware, my
boy, thai a draft is always daugerous to delicate
constitutions; as the Muddaik happened to burst
into a pruluse perspiration about the limehe found
bin-sell standi-gin ihis draft, he, of course, took
HUCh a violent cold that he bad tu be put to bed
directly. I went to see him. my boy, and whilst he
wan relating lo tne some uffectiug anecdotes ofthe
time when he used to keep a bar, a member of the
Medical Staff of the Uuited Slates of America came
to Bee the patient.
Thia venerable  surgeon deposited a large saw, a
hatchet, and two pickaxes, ou the table, aud then
■ays he ;
9 How do you find yourself, boy'-'?
Tha mud-lark   took, a small chew of tobacco
with a melancholy air, and says he:
"I  think  I've got the  guitar in  my head, Mr*
Sawbones, and am about to join the angel choir,1'
"I Bee how it is," says the surgeon thoughtfully;
"yon think you've got tho guitar, wheu it's only
tbe drum of your ear that is affected.
"Well,'' Bays lhe surgeon, with sudden pleasantness, as ho reached after his Baw aud one of the
pick-axes, "I must amputate your left leg at
ODce."
Tbe mud-lark curled himself up like a wounded
anaconda, and says he :
"I don't see it in that light."
"Well," says the surgeon,  in a sprightly manner, "then *>uppoee I put a fly-blister ou your btonr
lck, and only amputate your right arm?"
The Burgeon was formerly a blacksmith, my boy,
and got hie diploma by inventing some pills with
Iron in them. He proved tbat the blood of six
healthy men contained enough iron to make six
horse shoes, and then iuveuted the pills to cure
hoarseness.
The sick chap reflected on what his medical adviser had-said, and then says be :
"Your words convince me that my situation
muBt be dangerous. I must see some relative before
I permit myself to be dissected."
"Whom would you wish me to send for V says
the surgeon.
"My grandmother, my dear old grandmother,-'
says the mud lark, with much feeling. I
The surgeon took me cautiously aside, and says
he:
"My poor patient has a cold in his head, and his
life depends perhaps, on the gratification of bis wish,
es. You have heard him ask for his grandmother,"
says the surgeon, softly, and as bis grandmother
Uvea too faraway to be Bent for, we must practice
a little harmless deception. We must seud for Secretary Welles, of lha Navy Department, and
introduce him aB the grandmother. My patient
will never know the difference." ,
I took the hint, my boy, and went after the Secretary ; but the latter was so busy examiniofc a
model of Noah's Ark, tbat he could not be seen.—
Happily however, the patient recovered while the
surgeon was getting his saw filed, aud was well
enough last night to reconnoitre in force.
The Mackerel Brigade being still in quarters
before Yorktown, I am at leisure to stroll about
the " Southern Confederacy," my boy, and on
Thursday I paid a visit to Cotton Seminary, just
beyond Alexandria, where the Southern intellect
lataughtto fructify and expand. This celebrated
institution of learning is all on one floor, with a
large chimney and a heavy mortgage upon it, and
a number of windoWB supplied with ground glass
or, rather, supplied with a certain openness as regards the ground.
Upon entering this majestic edifice, the master
Prex Peyton, descended at ouoe from the barrel on
wbloh he was sealed, and gave me a true Virginia
welcome.
"Though you may be a Lincoln borde;' says he.
in a memorial manner, "the Republic ot intellect
recognizes you as a man. The Southern mind
knows how to recognize a soul, apart from its
outer circumstances ; for what say the logicians?
Devi est nnime brutorem.' Take a seat ou yonder
barrel, and you shall hear the wisdom of youthful
minds.   FirBt class in computation, stand up !"
Ab I took a seat, my boy, the first class iu computation came to the front ; and it is my private
impression, my boy—my private impression—lhat
each child's father was the owner of a rag plantation at some period of his life.
" Boys," saya the master, " how is the table of
Confederate money divided?"
" Into pounds, shillings and pence."
" Right.    Now MaBler Mason, repeat the table.'.
Master Maaon, who was a germ of a first  family
took his fingers out of his mouth, aud says he :
Twenty pounds of Confederate bonds make one
shilling, twenty shillings make oue penny, six
pennies one di ink.''
"Tbat'i right, my pretty little cherubs,'' Bays
tbe master. "Now, go and lake your seatg, and
study your bowie-knife exercises. Class in geography, ataud up,"
This clat-is consisted of one small Southern Confederacy, my boy, with a taste for tobacco.
"Master Wise, says tha master, confidently,—
■-can you tell us where Africa is?"
Master Wise sniffed intelligently, and says he :    j
"Africa is situated at the comer of Spruce and!
Uassau streeta,  and  is bounded  on tbe  north by:
Greeley, on the south by Slavery, on the east by
Sumner, and on the west by Lovi-joy."
"Very true, my bright little fellow," says the
muter ; now go back to your chawing."
"You see, friend Ilessiau," e_ys the master, turning to me, "how much (superior Southerners are,
even aa children, to tbe depraved Yankees. Iu
my teaching experience, I have knowu scholars
only six years old to play poker like old memb -
of the church, and a pupil of mine euchred mei
once in ten minutes." I thanked him for bis
courtesy, aud was proceeding to tho door, when I
observed (out boys io one t-orticr, with their mouths
so distorted that they seemed to have subsisted
upou diet of persimmons|all their  Uvea.
" Venerable pundit," says I in astonishment,
" bow came the laces of those offsprings so deformed V
" 0 I" saya the master, complacently, that class
has been studying Carlyle's works."
I retired from Cottou Semiuary, my boy, with a
,tirm conviction ofthe utility, of popular education
aud a hope that the day might come when a Professorship of Old Sledge would be created in the New
York University. ,

Olienlngofthe International Exhibition.
The great exhibition iB open. At 9 a. M. yesterday the weather which had been wet cleared up,
and noon after the variouB roads leading to the
buildiegs were filled with vehicles aud foot passengers, the liue from the palace being kept by the
Horse Guards. There was much bustle and excitement around the building, but uo confusion
arose.
At one o'clock every spot from which a view of
the approaching ceremony could be obtained was
crowded. The appearance ofthe interior did not
present the light and graceful character of the
exhibition of 1851, but the'general effect;was pleasing, and the orchestra was very imposing owing to
the mass of singers and instruments, aud the striking contrast of the male and female dresses.
The Commissioners shortly proceeded to the toot
of the orchestra.
Tbe spectacle, when tbe Duke of Cambridge,
Lord Palmerstou, Prince of Prussia, Prince Oscar
of Sweden, the Lord Chancellor and Archbishop of
Canterbury,[aud lhe Speaker of the Commons had
taken their seats on the raised dais, was very fine
—surrounded as they were ny the Diplomatic
Corps and a mass of persons in every color of uniform, accompanied by elegantly dressed ladies, the
sun brilliantly lighting up the whole scene.
Amongst the spectators were the Japanese Ambassadors.
Tbe music aud chorus were very finely executed,
but the efiect, owing no doubt to the character of
the building, was not so grand as had beeu anticipated, and the Bouud appeared lost.
The ceremony terminated at 3 o'clock,  and the
Duke of Cambridge declared the exhibition opened.
The procession then re-formed and proceeded to
the Picture Gallery, after inspecting which the
Royal party lelt the building,
The spectators then left ihe nave and procceeded
to view the Exhibition, which presented a much
more complete appearance than the most sanguine
could have hoped for, and the opening may be regarded as cmineutly successful,
Tbe number of spectators were estimated at
30,000. ___________

A New Tbubitquy.—Congress proposes a new
Territory (or tbe Indians, to be culled Lanuiwa, to
be set aside for tbe Indians alone. Tbe land is now
in military possession of tbe Confederates, tbey
having seduced tbe Cberokees from tbeir loyalty,
aud whose  reservation   extends  along tbe entire
northern  line, ending iu a, narrow strip abutting
upon New Mexico.   South of tbe Cberokees, are
the reservations of tbe Creeks and Semiuoles, that
of tbe latter being comparatively small.    lieserva
tionBof the Chociaws, Chickasaws, and Washitas^
are upou the southern border. The entire Territory
wbich is described at the Lund Ollice as beautifully
diversified and fertile, containsaixty-eight thousand
square miles, or au area superior to that of Virginia.   It lies between Kansas on tbe north and Arkansas.on the south. Tbe Red river bisects it west
ward Irorn the Mississippi to the centre ofthe Ter
ritory, whence its direction is from the northwest.
The Verdigris and its affldeuts water the Territory
in its northern and north-eastern portion?.   In this
beautiful and productive region are the most civil-
ized of the Western Indians, and it is to be hoped
notwithstanding present sectional difficulties, that
tbey may ultimately become the subjects of that
higher improvement which the experience of an
ludian office considers advisable for the Pottowat-
' amies.   The main features of the late treaty with
that tribe is the contemplated setting aside of sections of land for heads of families, and of giving
to each authority to draw a given value of articles
of necessity from Government agents.    A system

■THIRTY YEARS AGO.
How wondrous are the changes, Jim,
Since thirty yeit-rs bro,
When gals wore woollen dresses, Jim,
And buys wore pnnls of tow ;
When Bbosa were made of calf ekio,
And pocks ol liome-spnn wool,
And children did a half day's work
Before they went to school.
The girls took music lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel,
And practised late and early, Jim,
On .piddle, swift and reel.
The boys would ride " bare-back'' to mill,
A dozen miles or so.
And hurry off before 'iwus day—
Some tin ity years ago.
The people rode to meetin-r, Jim,
In sleds iustend of fileighs,
And wagona rode as easy, Jim,
As buggies now-a days ;
And oxen answered well for teams—
Though now they'd be too slow,
For people lived nut hall so fast
Some thirty years ago.
O, well do I remember, Jim,
That "Wilson's patent stove,"
Tbat father bought and paid for, Jim,
In ci oth our girls bad wove ;
And bow tbe neighbors wondered
When we got the   thing to <*o—
They said 'twould bunt and kill na all,
Some thirty years ago.
Yes, everything is different, Jim,
From what is used to was ;
For men are always tampering, Jim,
With GrOd'S great natural laws—
And what ou earth we're coming to,
Does anybody ktiow ?
For everything has changed so much
Since thirty years ago.

Easier ii Juggler.
I was a student of medicine iu Paris in 1S58 nnd
1859, and in company with other Americana, tired
ofthe hum-drum, monotonous life ofthe Quartier
Latin, I frequently roamed through the city on
the west bank ofthe Seine. Concerts and operas,
gardens and Binging cafes, biizaars aud boutiques,
were all visited by us. One evening, at early duslc,
a party of us were strolling through the Hue Richelieu, and when near the Boulevards, our attention
was drawn to a flaming poster of an Eastern juggler, wbo was performing at some ball on tiie
Boulevard du Temple, Among the things very
wonderful, this man would cut off the head of a
living roan, and defy any one to surprise him in
trick. Being considerably accustomed to manipulating with the knife in the dead, and being
thoroughly hardened to all sights of horror, we
determined to go and see this wonderful necromancer. At the hour appointed wc repaired to the
hall, and obtained a seat near the stage, After
performing wuutleri'ul irlclvn, ibe mwgtclna came
forward and announced as his last feat for tho
evening the actual decapitation ot a living man,
apparently. To prevent feelings of horror among
the ladies, he assured the audience it was a trick
of legerdemain, mere slight of band—that he did
not in renlity, cut tbe man's head off. With this
explanation he invited any one in the audience
desirous of enpilai punishment to step forward'
promising speedy satisfaction. For some moments
no one appeared anxious for the honor. At length
a soldier, a private in the infantry, stepped forward
and signified bis readiuess to be decapitated.—
There could have been, it was plain, no connivance between the men. No man dare assume the
martial bearing of France without authority.
Directing the man to divest himself of his coat
and neck-tie, or stock, tho magician brought out
his instrument of death. It wns an enormous knife,
and proceeded, very leisurely, and with heavy, well
directed strokes, lo chop the mail's head off. During this be merely lowered the foot-lights, without obscuriug the view at all, Cries of horror and
amazement burst" from the terror stricken audience,
as with every descending blow ofthe huge cleaver
the blood spurted away. Tlie man who was undergoing the operation simply quivered through his
lower limbs. Soon the dismembered head roiled
on tbe floor, the blood issued by jets from the cut
arteries, and the jaws dropped, while the eyes
turned up in death. It was a horrible sight. The
magician then took the bleeding head by the hair
aod passed it not more than three feet from our
party. It seemed to me a dreadful reality. I almost expected to see a fierce gendarme seize and
arrest the murderer. Suddenly, but only for an
instant, the room was darkened. In a second ail
was light again. And we saw the magician busy
at work, coaptating the head to the bleeding trunk.
Diligently __ worked, and for some moments, apparently, to no purpose. All at once, however, he
slapped the dead soldier smartly on the hack : im.
mediately the man arose felt anxiously around hie
neck, looked foolishly around and descended amid
the audieuce^	
The Tarpeian Rock, at Rome, trom the summit Of
which criminals of state were formerly hurled, still
exists. The preseut height of the rock is sixty
feet, and is still precipitous enough to serve its
ancient purposes. During the last 1800 years the
rock has been reduced in height by the action ol
earthquakes*:, and by the accumulation of ruins at
its base. Some travellers are of opinion tbatin
the palmy days of Rome the Tarpeiaa Rock was
not less than a hundred feet high.

An old Sportsman gives an exchange the follow-
ing advice in regard io the i*,-.jehamliiugo! li'.v sv:ns:
When the gnu ]•:■ cliarged, never allow tli..1 look to
be iu any other state than at halfeock, except ut the
moment of firing. The reason why 'his rule should
be adopt ih! nnd religiously ohiH'rvod arc briefly
these: The lock is so QO_e_raot-Gl that when at
halfeock (provided it is good for anything, and no
other should ever be used,) it cannot be moved
from tbat point towards the cap to explode it in
any possible way. You may strike it violently,
and it will not yield till the lock itsell breaks in
pieces. If, by any accident, it is moved in nn opposite direction, it must go back until it is fully
cocked, and must reimiin there until the trigger is
touched. IfltdO_4 not go back to that point.it
cannot possibly, in returuinu, pass the point of its
first position—tiiat of halfeock —unless the trigger
Is touohad at the moment, which would seldom* if
ever, happen.
Many sportsmen aro in the habit of carrying the
gun "at the cock,-"' even wheu iu compuny with
otherB, as well us when alone. Should a twig
touch tbe trigger, should tho sportsman stumble
and fall, or strike a heavy blow with the breech
ngainst a tree, the gun explodes ; it may be harmlessly, or perhapee with loss of life or limb. Never
cock the gun till the moment before firing. Agnin :
otherB are under the erroneous impression that the
satest way is to carry the hammer down upon the
cap. The truth is, that is the most dangerous way
ol all. When the hummer is pressed upon the cap,
tbe jarring caused by the various movements in
handling the gun is constantly bringing the percussion powder to such a state that a very slight
tap upon the hammer will explode it. Now this
is precisely the way in which almost all tho accidents happen by which eo many wounds are "n-
flicted nnd lives lost by the sudden explosion of
firearms.
I earnestly hope that the few hints above will
be of service to those who are desirous of learning
how to use the gun. It is a trite, but nevertheless
true, saying, that " it is hard to cure old dogs ol
their tricks,'" Old sportsmen will follow their old
habits, but to young sportsmen I would say, adopt
the following short rules, and I will insure you as
much safety as can be expected Irom the use of
instrument at all times dangerous :
1.    When tho gnu is not charged, always put Uie
hammer down upon   the nipple.    It. relieves
main spring and preserves its strength
ad, bring the hammer to half-
gun, and lot the,the putting ou
! _tat operation.   Pra-as it down
fingers,  aud not by carrying the
" Poor Mr. N ,'" said a country dame of a recently deceased neighbor, who was overthrifiy,
"he always saved his salt aud lost his pork."
"Yes/' replied a, frieud, and now the salt has lost
its saver."
"Come, sonny, get up," said an indulgent father
to his hopeful son the other morning. " Remember,
the early bird catches the worm." "What do 1
care for worms," replied the young hopelul, mother won't let me go a fishing."
" Can you tell ms," asked a blooming lass, of a
suitor, "what snip carries more passengers than
the ' Great Eastern V " " Well, madam, I retlly
don't think I can." " Why, it is courtship," replied the maiden, with a conscious blush.
Tho side which is beautiful ia often the side
which is true ; if tbe eyes of Love are bandaged,
I perceive a tripple bandage over the eye* of Hute.
Flavel said that if men should rise from the dead
and read their epitaphs, Borne of them would thiuk
they had got into tho wrong grave.
When
cock, charge I
of tbe cap be
lightly with y(
hummer down  upon it.
:-!. xNever cock the gun until the moment before
firing.
4. Iu all cases, whether alone or in company,
while hunting, keep the gun at halfeock. and never
on any account put the hammer down upou tho
cap.
It is better, on setting the gnu ni-ide, first to
discbarge it ; but if you will or must leave it loaded, be sure to leave it at halfeock, and with the
cap plainly to be seen.
R£mN_~o_NC_s oi* Admts-L Nelson and Lady
Hamilton.—October 2.—While I was playing
hess with Mr. Elliot, the news arrived of Lord
Nelson's arrival, wilh Sir William and Lady Ham
ilton, Mrs. Cadogan, mother of the latter, and Miss
Cornelia Knight, famous for her Continuation of
Rassilas and Private   Life ofthe Romans.
October ■}.—Diued at Mr. Elliot's with only the
Nelson party. It is plain that Lord Nelson thinks
of nothing but Lady Hamilton, who is totally occupied by the samo object. She is bold, forward,
coarse, assuming and vain. Her figure is oolossal,
but, excepting ber feet which are hideous, well-
shaped. Her bones are large, and she is exceedingly embonpoint. She resembles the bust of
Ariadne ; tbe shape of all ber features io liue, as
is the form of her head and particularly her ears ;
her teeth area little irregular, but tolerably white ■
her eyes light blue, with a brown spot in one'
whieh, though a defect, takes nothing away from
her beauty or expression ; her eyebrows and hfttr
are dark, and her complexion coarse ; her expression is atrona-Iy marked, variable end interesting ;
ber movements in common life, ungraceful ; her
voice loud, yet not disagreeable. Lord Nelson is
a little man, without any dignity, who, I suppose
must resemble what Suwarrow was in his youth, ob
he Is like ull the pictures I bave seen of that general. Lady Hamilton takes possession of him, and
he is a willing captive—the most eubmi::*ive and
devoted I haye seen. Sir William ia old. infirm,
all admiration of his wife, and never spoke to-duy
but to applaud her. Miss Gonieli;; Knight uoemn
the more decided ilattercr of the two, aud never
opened her mouth but to set forth their prattle j
and Mrs. Oadogan, Lady Hamilton's mother, is
wha* one might expect. After dloaet we had b.i -
eral songs in honor of Lord Nol^on, written by
Miss Knight, and sung by Lady Hamilton. She
puffs the incense full in his face ■ but be receives
it with pleasure, nnd snuff's it up very cordially.—
The song3all ended iu the sailors' way, with "Hip,
hip, hip, hurrah!" and a bumper with the last
drop on the nail—a ceremony I had never beard
of or seen before.—Mrs,   Trench's Remains.
A  Tali: o_   Shtloh.—A  correspondent of tho
Chicago Times gives the following history of the
Ultle ohnroh which 1ms given its name to the great
b'Htle fouglif near PittsUirg Landing :
'-To thin little ohnroh there is a history attached.
It. was built fifty y-Mirs ago by a French Huguenot
who being nn enthiir-iu.-t and souK'thing of au an-
Ohorife, led his luiiue and lounded in Lower Teu-
BQ8-9-B B ''.onmmnity of his sect, whose influence
should in time extend over the limits of AqN&W
World, and, in a manner, deify Us progenitor. He
lived in solihide, his hutnlile church tieing his
home, and tho little field beyond the means o( his
subs/iatence. With a granary filled with com, and
the rough hewn floor ot hie church for a bed, ho
was content to live—a wonder to his parishioners,
B BffemlDg marvel o( humauity, yet, in truth, a Be-
Cond Mahomet in his wild ambitions ot the future.
Iu thiswavhe lived a tow years, apart from tho
world, and to all appearances dead to its sympa-
Lhic;;. Vet in time il;*1 !h.'.-:h piwuilfd. lie met
his destiny in the form of a woman, and Ins high
intentions went dowu before the stronger inelicn-
tions of nature. The little church became an unlawful iry^tiiig-pluci', and one morning ho was
found weltering In his blood, the victim of a husband's vengeance. Border blood was quick and
recti less, and hia punishment cume speedily. For
years afterwards the untutored inliubitnnls looked
at the blood stain which marked thespot where ho
fell in superstitious awe, but time washed it out
and the church of Shiloh again became a place of
worship.    Its destiny was linked  with   blood and
violence, and it now stands a monument of earnag-
ihe center of a  great cemetery, where lie buried
nearly 7,000 men.''
TftOVXING HoBS-S too Youxii,—It has long been
our opinion, aays tho Wisconsin Farmer, that
horsemen aro too much given to putting their
promising colts to their speed at too early an age.
We have in our memory a number of splendid
young horses which, as we think, wero just about
ruined by such blunders of their owners. There
can be no objection to commencing tho process of
training at ijuite an early age. Indeed tho work
of education should begiu while yet aucking colts.
But ns the development, strength, and power of
endurance como oo gradually, rarely attaining
their maximum until the horse arrives at thu ago
of six or seven or eight years, it would appear to
be the teaching of philosophy aud common senso
that the severe trial-- of speed and power should
not bo imposed until tbo period of maturity.
Aud yet nothing; is more common at most Statu
ai*<l County Fairs, than to sue young colts of hardly
three aud fours years put upon the trotting courso
and whipped through to the very verge of their
endurance. In our way of thinking, such practices
aro not only unwise, but barbarous aud inhuman.

with by the ladies."

The farmers are paying great attention fo ranches in the foothills, where it was once supposed
that agriculture could not prosper. It has been
