.SELECTIONS FROM HARPER'S Dh'A WElt, JULY NUMBER. WiiifiK 11 ie Third Vermont Itegiinont -was encamped near Kearnstovvn, Virginia, some of the officers made the acquaintance of two Southern ladies living near camp. The ladies being short •."of reading matter, requested the loan of any books the officers might have. .•One of I lie ollicers promised to send ''ono, and on reaching camp dispatched an orderly witli Hugo's Lex Miserable#.

The orderly soon returned, bringing back the honk, stating that Miss S had directed him to say she had no need tor such a work. Wishing to know why the book was returned before it was read, he called in the evening and inquired why sho had returned .the book? Had she'read it? The lady .replied, No, sir, I liavo never read the .Look, and never wish to you ought to be ashamed to send me—a Southern ladv—such a book! I know our soldiers are poorly elad, and suffer for want of proper food, but they aro not J.cc's Miserable*, as you Yankees represent them to be!"

Not being in mood for disputations, .tin1 gory Third Vermonter retired in irood order.

TN the Life of Bismarck," just publisht»d by the Harpers, occurs the following original anecdote of Humboldt: V' During the eventful Merlin days of -'March, 1S4S, when barricades' were the lorder of the day, a mob came rushing .into the Oranienburg Strasse, where {[Humboldt resided. Materials l'or a "barricade were required, and every aloor was besieged for the purpose. One .vf these opened, and a venerable look-

Jug man presented himself, and begged •the excited mass not to disturb him. Such a request was not to be borne by the sovereign people, and lie was asked •menacingly who lie was, that he should use such language. "I am Alexander •.Von Humboldt,'' was the quiet- reply. ]In a moment every hat was off, ami with reverent greetings the multitude wept forward, and li ft the scholar and philosopher at peace.

WK nro indebted to a correspondent at Lincoln, Nebraska, for an anecdote of Governor David Hutlcr, which the .Governor used to tell with great glee: ZS'ot many years ago—but before Lincoln, the capital, hail an existence—the Governor was "stumping" the State twhere a stump is a great rarity.) and as darkness came on ere his destitution was reached, he halted for the nitibt at the luit of a hardy pioneer and. as room was scarce, the'Goverhor was assigned to a bed with Par.' As they were preparing for the couch the Governor said, "Well, Pat, you'd live a long time in the old country before you could sleep with a Governor." "Yis,'' said Pat "an it would be a longer time afore the likes of ye wnd be Governer!"

lr is well remembered by army ofii-eci-s that of tho various delicacies distributed by tho civilian delegates of the stneral commissions and relief agencies tho major part was obtained J»y a class of patients who made the most noise, and not by those who were sickest.

It was after ?ottysburg, when the corps hospital was crowded with wound-ci, that, while dressing a slight wound, the patient suddenly started up, as a delegate of the Christian Coinmission passed the tent, and asked, "Warn't- that a Christian?''

the editorial persuasion, he mentioned a ludicrous instance of the same style of talk by an eminent butcher in Western city, who, at some public en tertainment, wishing to apostrophize the Federal banner, said: "Forever fleet that standard slioat!"

was a certain quaintness of

humor in the manner adopted by the late Mr. Wm. W. Cornell, the iron manufacturer of this city, in making donations for religious and charitable objects. It was a sort of habit of his to connect himself with churches of his denomination (Methodist) that were in debt, and whenever he undertook to have a debt paid oft*, his rule was to as surae half the amount himself, but he had a pleasant way of doing it. For instance, lie took the floor to make per sonal solicitations. His own donations ostensibly Ave re small but he would subscribe in the name of other people, partly to hide his gifts, partly to shame the penurious. Going to a pew where a reluctant but well-to-do member sat, and who declined to subscribe, he would pass on to a poor widow or sewing girl sat, say a word to the parties, and then shout out: "Widow Jones, £500." Sister Kennedy, $150." Amechanie thought he could spare §10 the subscription was shouted out for $100. The General Superintendent of the city was brought to his feet one night. He had agreed to subscribe §50 for some purpose, and he heard his name announced for §1,500—half a year's salary. The subscriptions were not bogus. He made them all good. Such a man—genial, intelligent, catholic, untiring—is a great public loss. ffvt

DURING the winter of 18G8-69, Bryant, as well as most other towns on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad, was so infested with desperadoes that a Vigilance Committee was formed, by whose summary proceedure several of the worst offenders were hung others were ordered to leave. Among the latter was one who was found leading his mule to the stable. He was informed, politely, of course, that if he did not leave town in fifteen minutes (an age!) he must abide the consequences. His reply was: Gentle?»en, if this mule don't buck,' I onl^- want five." The mule did not "buck and his owner is now an "honest" miner in Nevada.

This incident reminds us of a remark made by an eminent judge, who deprecated every thing approaching to mob law" Said he: "I have never read of an instance of 'Lynch law' where substantia^justice was not meted out."

THE working of miracles seems to have been successfully resumed in Piqua, Ohio. A few years since, during a religious revival in the church of which the Rev. Granville Moody was

Easer

astor, certain "lewd fellows of the sort" created a disturbance in one of the meetings. Mr. Moody, approaching them, took them to task for their misconduct, when one of the parties said to him: "We heard that you were working miracles here, and came to see if it were true." "No, Sir," said the divine, "we do not work miracles, but"—taking him by tho collar—"wo do cast out devils J"

And he "drave him out."

SOME "bold babbler" declares that Catharine Beechcr is now seventy, Alice Carey forty-eight, Fanny Fern sixty, and Harriet Beecher Stowe fiftysix.

EMPOKIA,"

For Wood.

Tliis Stove is something new in the wood cook line. It is a well-known fact, that when a current of cold air comes directly against the fuel in the furnace, the fuel is consumed twice as fast as it would be were that air first heated. The "Emporia" is gotten up in accordance with this principle. The air is heated before it reaches the wood, and, as a consequence, the fire lasts twice sis long. If it takes but one-half as much fuel to run the stove, of course it follows that the stove will last twice as long. The "Emporia" has a large, roomy oven, is an excellent baker, and for beauty of finish cannot be excelled. On the score of economy, it especially commends itself to the city trade. Can only be bought of 8. 11. HKNDKUSON,

We take pleasure in pn-sentin! 1" our readers a short sketch of one of the largest and most succ«issful dry goods houses in Terre Haute. The New York Store, 7.1 Main street,, opened in September last. The proprietors, young energetic men, have shown by ir unparalleled success that tli art thoroughly posted in their business and are supplied with sufficient capital to nnt .- all their purchases for cash. The strict adherence to the one price system, their large aii'l ttlway.s complete stock, and their attention and politeness to every customer, have m*de the New York Store at once a popular and profitable store to buv at, and the crowds that daily vLsit this store, show best, that tho people appreciate the efforts of ^eA-rs.wittenberg, Iiuschaupt & Co., to sell goods cheap. —Brazil Miner.
