The following committees were appointed by
the presiding officers of the Agency just before
tho adjournment. As a majority on both are
in tho pay and service of Bullock, tho public
will pay fittl 0 attention to their report. They
were appointed to cover np or bo wilfully blind
to Bullock, Blodgett & Co’s, manifold and mag
nificent financial and other operations, and wo
will not do them the injustice of supposing they
will defeat the object of there appointment We
are pretty sure, however, to havo healthy mi
nority reports from the honest men on those
committees, and to their statements tho people
will look for tho truth.

How to Fall Asleep.
Wo came across the following receipt for
wakefulness, yesterday, and publish it for the
benefit of “all whom it may concern.” Says
tho discoverer of the process:
I turn my eyeballs as far to the right or the
left, or upwards, or downwards, without pain,
and then commence rolling them Blowly, with
that divergence from a direct line of vision
around to their sockets, and continue this until
I fall asleep; which occurs generally within
three minutes, always within five at most. The
immediate effect of this procedure differs from
that of any other that I havo ever heard to pro
cure deep. It not merely diverts thought ^into
a new channel, but actually suspends it. Since
I became aware of this, I havo endeavored in-
nnmerable times, while thus rolling my eyes, to
think upon a particular subject, and even ujion
that which kept me awake, but I could not. As
long as they were moving around my mind was
hioTiV If any one doubts this, let him try the
experiment for himself.
Another “Rebellion.”
A big rebellion is working itself to a head
just now among tho students of Dickenson
College, at Carlisle, Pa. The entire Junior and
Sophomore classes are engaged in it. Leave of
absence was asked for and refused; the classes
absented themselves from recitation in a body,
and woro marked accordingly. On Monday
morning last tho Faculty notified tho students
that thoy will proceed as usual, and absentees
from recitations that day would bo suspended
until September, and any remaining in town
after Tuesday, May 3, would bo expelled. The
classes refused to attend recitations that day,
and aro suspended. The two classes comprise
one-half tho students.

In April 18G1 the late Gerard Hallock, editor
of the New York Journal of Commerce, pub

It has come to pass, now, that whenever this
“Government of force” has a peculiarly dirty

S. Giles, Esq.
[published by bequest.)
To-day is toe sad anniversary of toe final
catastrophe of our “lost cause ”
Five years ago the remnant of General John
ston's command surrendered at Greensboro,
North Carolina, to Sherman’s flashed and vic
torious legions.
How appropriate that we, the conquered,
should set apart this day to commemorate too
fallen brave of onr hapless straggle. How sweet
the consolation that from tho surrender or all
else we held so dear, we kept back those priceless
boons—our unsullied honor nnd the sacred and
precious memory of onr heroic dead.
As we stand this afternoon by their honored
graves, let us steal onr thoughts away from the
cares and business of life, to dwell awhile upon
their noble patriotism, their heroic sacrifices,
and their historic death.
Nino years ago the earth for toem was clothed
with as sweet attractions, and the future was as
full of promise as for us, their survivors, this
pleasant spring-timo of the year.
With life as dear and hope as alluring they
perilled all and lost all—even life itself—in our
“contest for freedom and strugglo for inde'
pendence.”
“The breezy call of incense-breathing morn,
The swallow twittering from the straw built shed,
The cock’s shrill clarion, or tho echoing horn
No mote shall rouse toem from their lowly bed.
