Th© I’rhom iN at Fort war
ren-Stephen* allowed more
Liberty.
There are now but five prisoners at
Fort Warren. Vice-President Steph
ens for the last ten days has been re
leased from close confinement, arid is
permitted to walk wherever he pleases
in the fort, between loveille and re
treat, and even ascend the ramparts.
He is always unguarded, and seems to
appreciate his release from his dun*
geon.
Another prisoner is Mr. Ilegan, the
late Confederate Post Master General.
A third is Charles Cheshire, formerly
one of the Supervisors of Brooklyn,
New York, who is in close imprison
ment for frauds perpetrated in the re
cruiting department, his sentence be
ing six months imprisonment and a
fine of 320,000
His cell is so situated that lie can
sec from his window the whole interior
of the fort, and he was soon recogniz
ed by acquaintances of the 71st. A
fourth prisoner is a British Captain, a
blockade ruuner, and a fifth, a party
who refused to take the oath of alleg
iance. Rcgaaf is allowed to take an
hour’s walk each day, attended by a
guard. — ’■Boston Traveller.

A Hcrrible Tragedy.
Hartford, Conn., Aug.. I.
A horrible murder was discovered
i\t daylight this morning, at the vil
3*ige of Oakland, in the town of Man
-
Mrs. Benjamin Starkweather, aged
forty-six, and her daughter Lila, four*
*een years old, were found chopped to
death in their bed.
The blows which were inflicted with
axe, severed the skull every’ time,
**nd the bodies presented a horrible
Siiifht. They were also stabbed in
many places with a butcher knife,
which, together with the axe, has
been found.
A son of Mrs. Starkweather, named
Albert, twenty-four years of age, is
being examined to-day by the Hart
ford poliecc, and suspicions are enter
tained that he committed thdMiorrible
deed. A sum of money, less than
S4OO, was found in his drawer, together
with the knife. He first gave the
alarm, and both his own bed and that
of his iinother were found on fire.—
The daughter, when found, still breath
ed, but died in ten minutes afterwards.
P* —'The son has confessed.

The work on the Mississippi Cen
tral Railroad is progressing rapidlv,
and will probably be completed and in
operation by the first of September.
Gov. Sharkey has issued a proclama
tion calling on the people to form two
companies in -each county, one of cav.
airy and the other of infantry, for the
purpose of restoring older and putting
a stop to the frequency of frauds and
robbers.
Who Shall be Trusted.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph
answers the question, “ Who shall be
trusted politically/’ very pointedly,
and, we may add, very truly. It as
serts there are two classes of men in
this country, and two only who have
any claim to respect, as honest and pa
triotic men, and who may be trusted
in the difficult and delicate work of
establishing the civil government of
the States. The avowed Union men,
<who have been known to be Union
men from the beginning, and the
Avowed secessionists or war men, who
saow frankly admit that their pro >
gramme was a failure and that it is the
duty of all good citizens to support the
government of the United States. —
These classes of men, though widely
different in their respective political
eourses heretofore, have been and are
now sincere and earnest men. who
have followed and suffered for their
eonvictions. A man who has earnest
convictions, and stakes his life and his
all upon their defence, can always be
trusted. These twa classes of men.
equally honest, as proved b > ? their
risk and sacrifices for their principles,
are now united in a common purpose
restoring order and prosperity to the
country, in obedience to the govern
ment cf the United States. There is
not now a single difference of opinion
between them. Thev differ as to the
•/
past, but not as to the present and fu
ture. They may dispute as to wheth
er the Confederacy should or should
not have succeeded, but they do not
differ as to whether the Union ought
or ought not, now, to be re-established.
On that point there is harmony.
Os another class, that journal mild
ly says : Those who took neither side
of the struggle, had no earnestness of
conviction, nor no principles, made no
sacrifices and never will, are entitled
to neither the respect nor trust of
either of the other classes. Self, and
not country, has always been their
worship, and always will bo.

To Aquire a SScautiftil Form.
Take abundant exercise in the open
air-free, atractive, joyous exercise,
such as young girls—when not restrain -
ed by false and artificial proprieties
are wont to take. If you are in the
country, or can get there, ramble over
the hills and through the woodlands;
botanize ; geologize ; seek rare flowers
and plants; hunt birdnests, and chase
butterflies. Bea romp, even though
you may be no longer a little girl. If
you are a wife and a mother, so much
the better. Romp with your children.
Attend also to vour bodily positions in
standing, sitting, lying, and walking,
and emplov such general or special
gymnastics as your ease may require.
Live, while indoors, in well-ventilated
rooni3; fake sufficient wholsome and
nourishing food, at regular hours; keep
the mind active and cheerful in short,
obey all the laws of health, ’fake a
lesson from the English girl, as describ
ed in tine following extract:
“The English girl spends more than
one half of her waking hour in physis j
cal amusements ; that is in amusements
which tend to develope, and invigor
ate, and ripen the bodily powers. She
ride®, walks, rows upon the water,
runs, dances, swings, jumps the rope,
throws the ball, hurls the quoit, draws
the bow, keeps up the shuttlecock,
and all this without having it forever
impressed us>on her mind that she is
thereby waisting her time. She does
this every day, until it becomes a habit
which she will follow up through life.
Her frame, as a necessary consequence
is larger, her muscular system better
developed, her nervous system
in subordination to the physical, her
strength more enduring, and the whole
tone of her mind healthier. She may
not know as much at the age of seven
o
teen as the American girl ; as a gen
eral thing she does not, but the growtli
of her intellect has been stimulated
by no hot house culture, and though
maturity comes later, it will last pro
portionally longer.”— Hints towards

A Sirocco in California.
The weather has been very warm
throughout the-State. In some places
the mercury is reported as high as 120
deg., in the shade. Santa Barbara
had been visited by a “sirocco. ’’ The
gazette, says :
Friday, 17th June, will be long re
membered by the inhabitants of Santa
Barbara, from the burning, blasting
beat experienced that day, and the ef
fects thereof. Indeed, it is said that
for the space of thirty years nothing
in comparison has been felt in this
county, and, we doubt, in any other. —
The sun rose like a ball of fire on that
day, but though quite warm, no incon- j
venience was caused thereby until 2 |
o'clock P. M*, when suddenly a blast
of heated air swept through our streets
followed by others, and shortly after
wards the atmosphere became so in
tensly heated that no human being
could withstand its force; all sought
their dwellings, and had to shut doors
and windows, and remain for hours
confined to their dwellings. The effect
of such intense and unparalleled heat
was demonstrated by the death of
• calves, rabbits, birds, &c. The trees
\ were all blasted, and the fruit, such as
pears and apples, literally roasted on
the trees ere they fell to the ground,
and the same as if they had been cast
on live coals.
But, strange to say, they were only
burned on one side — the direction
whence came the wind. All kinds of
metal became so heated that for h mrs
nothing of the kind could be touched
with the naked hands. The thermom
eter rose nearly to fever heat, in the
shade. Near an open door, and du
ring the prevalence of this properly
called sirocco, the streets were filled
with impenetrable clouds of fine dust
or pulverized clay.
Since writing the above we regret to
announce that the sirocco was not, as
we hoped, local; but that Los Angeles
was visited the same day by similar
blasts, and more intense, if possible,
than were experienced here; and that
not only the fruit trees are injured,
but the vineyards are reported as near
ly destroyed. The general opinion
that the cause is fire in the mountains
is now abandoned, and the belief is
that there has been a volcanic eruption
in the southern portion of this State.
