We shall never forget our splendid courage as exhibited in the presence of those dead Federal corpuses. There isn’t a four year old child in Wilming ton that wouldn’t have yelled frantical ly for its nurse if brought face to face with those blue capped, Solferino-paint- ed Zouaves. It was one of the gravest episodes of our eventful life—the one connected with that Confederate burial squad. Of course, there are overly nice, ex acting people who will charge us with egotism in thus parading our exploits before the public; but we can’t help that. The truth of history demands that we should place on record a narra tive of exalted patriotism and dare-dev il courage that was not surpassed by the leader of any burial squad that has ever shed lustre on our arms. Tiger Fighting in India. In India tiger fights are by no means unfrequent. A square of fifty feet is fenced off with bamboo lattice work sev eral feet high in order to prevent the animal from leaping among the people, which has somotimes taken place. The tiger is placed in a cage on one side of the square, and an immense crowd of spectators usually assemble outside of the fence, impatiently waiting Jfor the fight. Upon a given sigual the tiger is driven into the arena by fireworks. J **7* In a combat of this sort, described by a recenj traveler, a buffalo was first let in against the tiger. Both animals appeared equally reluctant to engage, and watched each other most attentive ly. The tiger was again compelled to move by the fireworks, and the buffalo advanced two or three steps, on which the tiger again crouched. A dog was next thrown in, but the tiger seemed unwilling to attack even him. An elephant was next sent into the \ square, but the tiger, retreating, uttered j a cry of. terror,, and, in despair,, he at- | tempted to leap ever the fence, but ! failed.

Saya the Goldcd Age: One of the subjects talked and written about a good deal at the present time is how to live cheaply. Prices of the great sta ples of life are high. Rents are enor mous. Fashions are exacting. Wants multiply, while resources diminish. How to make strap and buckle meet is the problem which presses on hundreds of housekeepers of the middle class. The difficulty in the problem ist< “ reconsile the irreconcilabies. The middle class generally want all the fine things, all the style and display of wealthy neigh bors. The problem would simplify it self at once, would the middle class fam ily cease trying to appear what'it is not, and be content to appear and be thought just what it is. It is what is done to keep up appearances that destroys the equilibrium between outgo and income, and makes life a drudgery and vexa tion. How to live cheaply is a question easy enough to answer if one will be content with a cheep living. Substi tute comfort for show. Put convenience in the place of fashion. Study simplic ity. Refuse to be beguiled into a style of living above what is required by your position in society and is justified by your resource. Set a fashion of simplicity, neatness, prudence and inex- pensiveness, which others will be glad to follow and thank you for introducing. Teach yourself to do without a thous and and one pretty and showy things which wealthy people purchase, and pride yourself on being just as 'happy without them as your rich neighbors are with them. Put so mpeh dignity, sincerity, kindness, virtue and love into your simple and inexpensive home that its members will never miss the cos ly fripperies and showy adornment of fash ion. and be happier in thd- cosey and comfortable apartments than most of their wealthy neighbors are in their splendid establishments. It does not follow that in order to Number 38.

[From the Wilmington Star of dune 10th.] The Battle of Bethel Church, Twelve years ago to-day, was fought the battle of Bethel Church, the first general engagement of the late civil *jr. There were many remarkable circutn- itanccs connected wsth the battle of Bethel Church, among which we may mention the fact that the Confederate sullies numbered only seven or eight, *i:i!e the Fcdorals lost 300 to 500 kil- ii and wounded. But this great battle derives itschiei importance from the conspicuous part forne by the writer on that memorial * ’wsion, when we stood up mantully i t our country, in a somewhat inclined I 1 "itinn, and hfigged an average carth- *crk for five mortal hours. Thczshot and shell flew thick,* fast- :r d. vre are proud to say, moderately ; but we have no curiosity to de- •fnsine their exaet attitude, whence *kev came, or whither they went. Our orders were to support our front line of x -rks; and wc supported that earth- V <A until the back of our fatigue jack- worn to a frazzle and the rear Union of our pants looked as if we had : «n dragged through a brick yard, la an official report, written by our- to our admiring countrymen at * ®e, we were honorably mentioned * distinguished gallantry on tho field "the specific act of gallantry, we will 9 7 fcr the truth of history, being on 'hiswise: We led a reckless charge 1 Confederate burial squad on the tuition of those Federals, -at the time, hrsng decidedly recumbent, and their Mortal coils” having been “shuffled - under the inspiring influence ot canister, shell, shot and other h- T ilish inventions of gentlemen ot l ' J “-QuakeT persuasion.

The poor tiger, however, lay panting on the pround, without at tempting to profit by the opportunity to escape. A secopd elephant was now turned in, but he proved as.uasuccesvf .1 as t .e former one. The tiger, at length, fa cing his adversary, sprung upon its fore head. where he hung for some seconds* till the elephant, collecting all his might, with one violent jerk dashed him to the ground, where he lay unable to rise. The conqueror was satisfied with his victory, aud turning quickly around he rushed towards the fence tusks lifted up, and raised the whole frame work, together with persons'who had climbed upon rife. A scene of terror and confu sion now followed not to be described ; the elephant, however, made # his way through without injuring any person, and the tiger was too much exhausted to follow him. # An Orphan's Fortune- The appearance of an advertise ment in New Orleans papers recent ly, asking information of the life or death of the person named in it, and its answer by that person herself, who, is said to be a young lady of Evansville, Iud., hitherto known theieundera different name, are among the last incidents in ff roman tic little.narrative which the Journal of the latter town now, gives to the 'public.

A correspondent of the Whig, who accompanied on his Western tour just Pennsylvania election, which trously ended his hopes of suc^eaa the Presidential contest says . ' “Nothing affected Mr. Greeley so much as the conduct of the negroes, and while he' overlooked the treachery of his old anti-slavery allies, he could not understand how a race for whose freedom he had labored so loug and made so many sacrifices could be as un grateful as they were. He was finally reluctantly convinced, whileinTheWest, that the negro vote would .bfel a unit against him, and remarked thatit would have been all the sane even had Sum ner been nominated instead oT himself. Despite their opposition, he was never theless still confident of beating Grant, and more than once remarked that be fore two years of his administration elapsed the negroes would find that there was no danger of their loosing their freedom, and would then begin to divide on political issues just as the whites are. In this he'saw their only hope as freedmen, for if they remained a unit in opposition to the whites, the latter would ultimately band solidly against them, and being the weaker race they must suffer sadly for their folly.” Golden Words. The habit of looking on the bright, side is invaluable Men and women who are evermore reckoning up what they want rather than what they have —counting the difficulties in the wav instead of contriving means to over come them—are almost certain to live on corn bread, fat pork, and salt fish, and sink to unmarked graves. The world is sure to smile upon a man who seems to be successful; but let him go about wirh a crest-fallen air, and the very dogs in the street will set upon him. We must all have losses. Late frosts will nip the fruit, the bad banks will break, investments prove worthless, valuable horses die, china vases will hreak; but all these calamities do not come together.' The wise course to pursue, when one plan fails, is to form another; when one prop i» knocked from under us, to fill its place with a substitute, and even more count what is left, rather than what is taken. V hen the final reckoning is made, if it ap pears that we have not lost the con sciousness of international rectitude; if we have kept charity towards all men; if, by the various discipline of life, we have been freed from follies and confirmed in virtue, whatever we have lost, the great balance sheet will be in our favor is no y-oulle about young people mar rying without no outfit but health, and love, and an honest purpose^ provided they will practice the thrift aiid pru dence'to which their grandparents owed all their success, and make their thought and love supply wliyt they lack in the means of display. Those who begin life at the top of the ladder generally tumble off, while those who begin at the foot acquire steadiness, courage and strength of arm and will as they rise— Farmcr& Garden&r. tween ! and Beauregard, certain cl the Crescent City thought it ad visable to move highc-r up the Missis sippi for awhile,* a young married pair and their little girl were of the number coming Not£kward to escape the hostile excitement prevailing again-1 their known sentiments at that, critical time. Though for many years a resident of New Orleans, the husband was of Northern birth and sympathized with the menaced na tional Government. His Southern wife was one with him therein through her domestic affections, and it was their design to take a home with their child in one of the West ern States until calmer days should permit their return to the city in comfort. On their journey, however, both parents wete attacked suddenly by a disease which was probably yellow fever, and died on the boat before reaching the'.r destination. The con fusion and uncertainties of war-time prevented the attention to such a matter it. might otherwise have re ceived; the bodies were taken ashore at some station by night and hur riedly interred, and the little orphan was carried onward by the boat, whose officers supposed that N< rth- orh friends were in waiting for the family. But no such friends existed. At the end of the voyage the hapless situation of the child was revealed, and a passenger going to Indiarta offered to take her with him to his own home and care for her until her Southern relatives could be inform ed. no one opposed the opportune adoption. For adoption it was. The gentleman took his bereaved, bewildered charge to Evansville, where his family warmly welcomed ami harbored her, and as letters to her family name in New Orleans evoked no replies, and the war on the Mississippi waxed hotter, the young exile was finally looked upon as a permanent addition to the house ho!?!, and even took the name of her new friends. How it happened that her South ern relations were not traced after the advent of peace is not explained. The story speaks of her as grow ing to young womanhood in Indiana, and being regarded as a member of her benefactors family until a fort night ago, when a local journal men- Mr. John Sloan, of the well known tioned the appearance in New Or- firmofA.

By taking revenge, a woman is put even with her enemy; 'but in passing over it she is superior.

If your wife does abuse you, yon have the pleasant consciousness that she will not'permit any one else to do so. We count seventeen new women lec turer^ who are preparing to assist in turning the world upside down next season. A young and happy Widow in Paris recently remarked’to a friend, “I am notf in the honeymoon of my widow hood.” Mrs. Livermore has received an offer to come West. Rumor says she has been offered the Presidency of the new female college in Ohio- A book entitled “Lectures to Married Men” has appeared in England. Heav en sake the mark 1 Haven’t they their share already? There’s an “ifon-jawed” woman trav eling in Kentucky. "Singular as it may appear, she is not a lyceuzn lecturer. She dignifies and adorns a circus. Twenty pupils of the Pittsburg Fe male College, having become converted, declare their determination to flirt with none but young divinity students here after. Greeley, Col., comes proudly forward with a Mrs' Wilfcer, a slight person, and formerly a school teacher, who this sea son has rigged up a gang plow, and pre pared and sowed eighteen acres in wheat. Miss Clara Barton, of Worcester, the Florence Nightingale of the late war, who has been confined to her lodg ings in London, and to her bed most of the time, since last October, writes that she is improving slowly. “Did you ever go to a military ball ?” asked a lisping maid of an old veteran. “No, my dear,” growled the old soldier. “In those days I once had a military ball oorne to me. And what do you think it did ? It took my leg off.” An Illinois girl having six lovers of fered to marry the one who should “break up” the most pararie in three days. The result was - that she got a smart husband, and her father found his new farm ready for planting free of charge. Southey tells of a Spanish nnn who escaped from a long confinement in a convent, and the first thing she inquired for was a looking-glass. She was put. in -the convent when five years old, and did not look in a mirror from the time of her^entrance until the time of her escape. Her desire to see how she looked by consulting a glass was natu ral and certainly very pardonable. Mrs. Allen Coy, living near Saratoga Springs, New York, hat carefully kept the rope with which her brother bung himself in 1842. After she had got the breakfast dishes washed and the morning’s work out of the wav, one day last week, she thought she would go up stairs and hang herself—and that iden tical rope served her purpose. This is the first time Mrs. Tcodles was ever dis counted. Mme. Bress has received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in France. Her certificate runs thus: “Mme. Bress, a married woman and mother of two chil dren, does not pursue the study of med icine as a past ime or by reason of scien tific vanity. She fulfills all the duties of her profession. During both sieges of Paris she never left, the bed-side of ear wouatjed soldiers ” Agassiz on the Negro- The following is from a recent lec ture by no less a personage than Prof. Agassiz : I have pointed to over a hundred specific differences between the bo- nal and nervous systems of the white man and negro. Indeed, their frames Up alike in no particular. There is Qolxme in the negroes body which is relatively the same in shape, size, articulation, or chemically of the same composition as that of the*white man. The negroes bones contain a far greater proportion of calcareous salts than those of the white man. Even the negroe’s blood is chemical ly a very different fluid from that which courses in the veins of the white man. The whole physical or ganization differs quite as much from the white man’3 as it does from that of the chimpanzee—that is in his bones, muscles, nerves and fibers —the chimpanzee has not much lar- ther to progress to become a* white man than the negro. This fact science inexorably demonstrates. Climate has no more to do with the difference between tlie white man and the negro than it has with that between the negro and the chimpan zee, or it has bet ween the horse and the ass, or the eagle and the owl. Each is a distinct and separate cre ation. The negro and the white man were created as specifically different as tile owl and the eagle. They were designed (by the AID VVise.Creator)to fill different places in the system of nature. The negro is no more a negro by accident or misfortune. The negro is no more the white man’s brother, than the owl is the sister of the eagle, or the ass the brother of the horse. A Very Airy Costume- The latest French-made dresses are dresses no mere; they are mere drap ings, with fearfully low necks, absent of all sleeves, a mere strap going over the naked shoulder, joining the dress at the small of the back and at the pit of the stomach. The skirt is strangely and wonderfully hung. It caps the folds; it is caught high at the hip, or in the back, and is shaped tight about the en tire figure. From beneath this drapery streams out a two-yard train. Out-door costumes are made, as far as the dra pery is concerned, in the same ' style. These fashions demand revolving pe destals, and what dancers term the “slow movements. 1 ’ No dress of this kind could be taken on its owner’s hack in a hurry anywhere. Of course corsets and a good many other articles of under wear hitherto deemed indispensable will have to be taken off for the “Em pire” waist. At a very swell wedding reception lately the high-toned belles held their arms like trussed fowls, to prevent the silk and lace suspenders that did duty as dress waists from fal ling off their shoulders. The same bri dal party were, to'the number of a doz en, photographed, and if I were to send a copy up to Connecticut, I’d not only be prayed for in the churches as one lost, but I’d be liable to indictment for sending indecent pictures by mail. No gloves! That’s dreadful for nice looks! No corsets! That’s bad for com fort. And no waists to our dresses ! and that’s going to be cold for summer, if it possesses no other decided advant age. Motheri. Napoleon, after having observed to Madame Campan that the old sys tem of children’s education was bad inquired what she considered want ing to make it good. “Mothers,’ 1 was the reply. As women are the first, and perhaps the most influen tial teachers, with them rests the tui tion of the heart, so much more impor tant than that of the head. Some thing precedes intelligence; and it has been well'observed by the au thoress of a deservedly popular work, that the earliest smile which responds to the maternal caress, is the first lesson in tlie affections. Mothers were meant by nature to inspire vir tue, even when they do not directly seek to teach it, aud they will rare ly go wrong when they follow their parental impulses. We have before us aletter written in Washington and published in an Eastern newspaper. It gives a bit ot gossip which is said to b« afloat in Washington, of the * truth or the falsehood of which we have nothing to say. The tale is that Gen. Grant’s friends have begged him to follow the example of certain timid or anx ious or honest Congressmen, and to decline to accept the extra salary of $100,000 which has been voted him, in a bill which could only become law by his signature. This, it is further stated, Geu. Grant refuses to do. One hundred thousand dol lars is a great deal of money,and too much for a man who at least does not have money to throw away. ‘Then,’ say the friends of the President to him, “why not assume a virtue though you have it not ? Listen to reason! Condemn the Salary bill I Pay back the money, and let us give you the $100,000 by private sub scription:” It is not pleasant to. think that we have a President about whom such a story can be started without even a shovof credit. Truth or untruth, slander or just accusa tion, 'he shame of it i3 nearly the a cue.—N. Y. Tribune. A Boy’s Idea of Heads. Heads are of different shapes and si zes. .They are full of notions. Large heads do not always hold the most. Some persons can tell just what a man is by the shape of his head. High heads are the best kind. Very know ing people are called long-headed. A fellow what won’t stop for anything is called hot-headed If he isn’t quite so bright they call him soft-headed; if he won’t be coaxed nor turned they call him pig headed. Animals have very small heads. The heads of fools slant back. ’ When your head is cut off you are beheaded. Our heads are all cciv- ared with hair, except bald heads. There are barrel heads, heads of sermons— and some.ministers used to have fifteen heads to one sermon; pin heads; heads of cattle, as the farmer calls HiW cows aud oxen; head winds; drum heads; cabbage heads; at logger heads; heads of carpenters; head him off; head of the family; and go ahead—but first be sure yon are right.
