A WOXDKRPt'I, PAT MAN. As 1 was iiiling about on.- of 1 hoji* towns ttie inhabitants of which, entertaining a seri ous objection to tlicativs, arc obliged to <lt - penel, tor amusement, on itinerant lecturers, conjurers, comic recitations, popular preach ers, circuss. s. Jaudj other shows my atten tion was drawn to a menagerie by a band ot nigger minstrels stationed on the outside ot it, playing appropriate airs. Above and be hind the musicians a series of woudcruil works of Art indicated the wonderful works of Nature to be seen within. Among these paintings was the figure of an enormously tat man, entitled, in large illuminated letters underneath his portrait, “The Second Daniel Lambert.’’ 1 thought I should like to see this second Daniel, and being what is euphemis tically called stout myself. no and demanded gratuitous admission on the ground of being one of the brotherhood. Hut that, -the money-taker said, could not entitle me to see the lions and tigers, because, it 1 "■> > a monster, still 1 was not a beast. I accept ed the compliment, paid my money, and went >u. , The Fat Man was in a sort ol annexe to the caravan. He panted and perspired \c“i) much. “ Hard work, sir,” I observed. Putting laboriously, lie answered, sir!” “I hope, sir,” I saul, “that your exer tions are liberally rewarded by Mr. Saunders the name of the showman. “I am Mr. Saunders, sir, 1 am my own proprietor” “No! Are you, though, really? o ell, sir, l admire your moral courage, 't <>u show your s use, sir, in thus accepting your situa tion, mid making the most of yourself “Ah, sir!” he said, “ 1 have made the most of myseil indeed. This fat sir, —he did not say this here fat, but .spoke very much like a gentleman —“all this tat is not natural.” “ Is it not “No, sir. lam” —here he slightly chuck eled—“ what you may call a self made man.” “ Ah !” said I, “ that's what we stout gen tlemen most ot us are, I’m afraid. We do make prize pigs of ourselves with our eyes open—in that particular unlike the pigs.” “ 1 did it on purpose, sir. ' “ On purpose, sir ?” • Ves, sir, on purpose. When I started this concern, I thought I might ns well become part of it, by making an exhibition of myself. I had reason for it. What are appearances, sir?” “Full eight yards round,” I answered’ ‘‘sir, I respect your contempt lor appearances, and for the people who are astonished by them; uud who come and stare at you. And so you made yourself of this size. Sir ?” “I did, sir.” “ How did you do it, sir ?” “The old way, sir—eatiag aud drinking.” “ What did you eat, sir ?” “Potatoes. 1 ate a good deal of potatoes and bread, sir. Ate a good deal of bread.— You sec, sir, I did just the reverse of what Mr. Banting reccomnieuds for bringing this down.” “Did you, sir ?,’ “ Yes, sir, Butter. I ate a good deal of that. Sugar, too; large quantities of sugar. Sugar is very fattening, contains so much car bon ; dissolves so fast aud inns into fat. Pies, tarts, puddings, sweets of all kinds. Pork, too, sir, pork: ate a great deal of pork. Not much bacon; no. Don’t like it; too filling to fatten on. Salmon, stewed eel*, too; niee rich, nourishing; very fond of stewed cols. Milk and cream; have two bowls of bread and milk a day. Oil, aud starch, aud saccha rine matter, sir; as much as possible of food containing plenty of oil, starch and sacchar ine matter.” “ What did you drink, sir.” * k “As much fluid as possible, sir; as much ■pf every pleasant fluid A good deal of tea; ■|s a solvent for the solid food. Beer ; ale, fat Burton. Stout. Fruity port.— Clicquot’s champagne. Hot rum and water, strong and sweet. Ah !” “ You must have had a strong motive, sir, to induce you to acquire a bulk which ap pears to be distressing.” “ I had, sir. My wife died, sir, and at the same time I experienced a reverse of fortune. 1 have one sou, sir, to whom I atn desirous of giving a good education. Having lmd an indifferent one myself, I had no means of earning the wherewithal by intellectual ex ertion. Always rather disliked exertion of any kind. Thought that the least trouble some way of getting money would be riding about with a show At that time Mr. Ban ting’s pamphlet fell in my way. Jt made an impression on me. 1 wanted a wonderful fat man. Could’ut one be made by practic ing the contrary of Bantings rules? Why not make one of myself ? As I bad deter mined to start a show, fancied that the pleasantest occupation would be MEftmuiiug myself up, as fojJntfl j All Komul thf Ilonru : or, llmi«\ Travels ot* a Ten LXMIur Bill. A funny allair occurred at our <l!»V r table l h*-other day, by which the fact timtnuoncy is i circulating medium was very Vippily illustrated, and also the other fact lharivery little money will pay a great many debit it— it is only kept circulating. Our hosrjiad I just finished serving the guests, when one of j the girls came into the dining room and hard- i < lliiiu a letter, saying as she did so, that “tf\e i gintleinan w ished Mr. ll— to read it in* n- With the usual apology, he tore oil the envelope. “Well, well,” said he, as he unfolded the sheet and carefully smoothed out a bankbill, “all the honest men are not dead yet. Here is a debt which I gave up three years ago as one of the uncollectable actually paid up.—principal and conyxmnd i expected to be this morning.'’ “Then I think you can afl'ord to pay your debts, ’’said his wife, roguishly. ••Mi/ debts! I settled them the last day of December.” “Lxeepting what you owed me.” “You!” “Ves. Didn't you borrow ten dollars of me the last time you went to New York ? Von know” — “Never mind telling it all, wife; 1 11 pay up.” And be gallantly passed over the bill. She looked at it a moment as if in a study, t hen spoke up, saying, “I owe Carrie, Neil, and Mrs. B each ten dollars. Now I can't pay them all with this, and the question is, which needs it most. Who’ll speak first?” “Ob, don't put it that way,” said I. “Nei ther of us would like to own we needed ten dollars. Let age decide.” I was a little wicked in that last sentence, l'or I knew it would, as folks say, out our widow, who is striving, by all the forgeries of teeth, hair dve, powder, rouge, waterfall nets, mice, and nits, to deceive some gentleman into thinking that she is on the sunny side of forty. “Well, age it shall be. Here, Mrs. B— -, don't say 1 owe you anything after this.” The widow took it, looked at it a moment, and then hflpded it over to a lawyer who sat next her saying, “That will make us even; won't it, Mr. P ?” “Exactly, madam, exactly; though really a dinner-table is a queer place to score out old accounts.” Then passing it over to Mrs. P——, he said, blandly, «j“And now we are even. Wife. Didn’t I tell yon Id pay you before night ?” “Yes; but you would’nt, if I hadn’t been here present when you received t Ills; you’d have put me off v/ith some excuse. There’s nothing a man hates so badly as to give liis wife her honest dues;” and the black eyes snapped archly at him. “And, now Mrs. II- I can pay you my subscription to the Industrial School, I was really ashamed to show my face here to-day without the money;” and she passed it oyer. “Thank you,” said the hostess. “I paid it in myself, when I was making my returns. And now, Carrie, as you are next in order, as age goes, I’ll pay you-” “Thank you ma’am,” J said demurely, and passed it at once over to the lawyer. “That balances our account; does it not ?” “Well, really, this is growing funny,” said he. “Wife, do I owe you anything more ?” “I should think you did; I wondei who paid the bretuLbiJl yesterday. Somebody hadn’t the money, and somebody had.” “That’s insinuating, I was the hadn't. Well, well, I feel rich to-day, and I’ll pay oyer.” And lie passed it again to her. In a second, she had passed it into Nell's lap, saying “That settles our dressmaking account.” “Thank you! And that’!—tucking it under the host’s plate,— “settles our account.” Seeing he looked a little bewildered, she added, “You lent it to Hal; but I’m his secu rity.” “Very good security, too,” he said, with a profound bow r . Here, Mrs. II , I’ll make you a New Year’s present!” and he passed it over. “And I’ll use it to pay you, Nell;” and it again found its way to the little dressmaker's lap. “Now I’m out of debt.” “And so am I;” and she flirted it over to me. “I told you yesterday I’d pay you in a week, —with the mental reservation, if I got paid myself.” “And I’m ont of debt, too, Mr. H ;” and again the bill found its way into the host's hands. “Well, well,” said an old gentleman, who had been watching the whole affair with a curious look, “I’d like to know what all this means.” ‘ It means,” said Mr. II , who had been making a quick calculation, “that this single ten dollar bill lias paid fourteen debts and made one present, the whole amounting to one hundred and fifty dollars.” ' But I don’t see through it,” said the old gentleman. “You had the bill first, and r yw'fYc got it now.” j | “Yes, and I mean to keep it this time;” I and he placed it in his pocket-book. I “Well, well,” said the old gentleman, “I ! can't see through it, but if you’re all satisfied j 1 suppose it’s right; but I wish there were ! mure such bills J" — lndies' llepositori/. k Josh Billings-on Shanghais.— The sluing- 1 ■mi reuater is a gentile. .Old speaks in a form | Hitng.

Special Field Order No. 13, dated, Headquar ters, Military Division of the Mi ssissippi. January 15th, tN'j.3, is herewith rc.pnblished for tne information of the command : Hcaixi’es Military Division of tuC Mississippi, « In the I>eid, Savannah, Ua., Jan. 15, ISU3. Sl'FflAl. Fiei.ii Okdf.es, ) No. 13. j The Department of the Sontii having been placed within the sphere of this command, and it being highly desirable that an uniform policy prevail touching com merce and intercourse with the inhabitants of the South, the following general rules and principles will be adhered to unless modified by law or the orders of the War Department. I. Commerce witn foreign nations cannot be per mitted or undertaken until the national authority is established to an extent that will give the necessary courts and oliieers to control and manage such mat ters. Trade will be confined to a mere barter aud sale proportioned to the necessary wants of the army, and of the inhabitants dependant on it, for the necessaries ot' life, and even that trade must be keut subject to strict military control or surveillance. II- Trade stores will be permitted at Beaufort, Ilil ‘r I ', Head, Savannah, Fernandina, St. Augustine and Jacksonvnw, a, a n articles of food and clothing, gro- C | 'c t w, adl ! tv U | :i< t ; hn „ a * CT ’"‘ (mods generally, and arti cles not contraband of war. HI, To trade is a privilege, and no person -win i lu allowed to buy and sell for profit unless lie be a citizen of the United States, und subscribe to any legal oath or obligation that is or may be prescribed by law, and at points threatened by any enemy, the officer com manding may further exact as a condition, that the trader shall himself engage to serve, in some military capacity, to aid in defense of the place. IV. Persons desiring to trade will apply to the com manding officer of the Post and obtain his written consent, specifying the kind, nature aud extent of the trade, and when ne requires importations from North ern Cities lie will in (ike manner apply tor his JVruut. r ihe commanding Oflicer of the Post may appoint foitte good officer to supervise these matters, who will requentty inspect the stores, aud when there is not sufficient competition will fix the prices of sale These stores will in like manner ho subject to the super \ ision ot the Commanding General of the Department of the South by himself, or an Inspector General. Y. Id order that purchases may be made with economy, the commanding officer of each post will make reports of his action in regard to trade, with the names of trailers, amounts of goods desired for sale, Ac., to the Commanding general of the department, who wIU hi like manner, make full report to the Sec retary of the United States Treasury, to the end that he may instruct the collectors of ports from which shipments are expected as to the necessary permits and clearances. It being utterly impracticable that a general commanding military operations should give his personal attention tasnch matters, it is desirable that as much power as possible should be delegated to Post commanders, and they should be held to the strictest account that no trade is permitted injurious to the military interests of the United States. ' VI. Sales of cotton will be restricted absolutely to the United States Treasury agents, and no title in cot ton or bill of sale will be respected until after the cot tan is sold at New Yoik. Country people havin'* small lots of cotton arc permitted to bring the same in to be exchanged for food aud clothing for their fami hg?. The Quartermaster will sot aside a store or warehouse, to which each wagon hearing cotton, will af ter entering the military lines, proceed direct, to where an agent oi the Treasury Department w'll receive and weigh the same, and pay for it the price fixed in the btn section ol the Act ot Congress, approved Julv 2 1804, viz, three-fourths the vi’iqe of cotton as quoted in tup New York market; aqd the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby requested to make appointments of agents to carry out the provisions of said ar t at the posts of llilton Head, Savannah, Fernandina and Jacksonville. HYil. In order that the duties hereby imposed on commanding officers of Posts raav not be neglected or slighted by the changes incident to rank and changes of.troops, the Commanding General of the Depart ment ol the South w il! appoint a special officer to com mand at each of said Posts, with a small garrison not to be changed without his orders; and "when other troops, commanded by a senior, are added or arrive the command of the post will not change, but the ad ditional troops will be encamped near by and act ac cording to special instructions.
