The IIiHslan Troops I’uipJoved by Grunt Britain—Who mid What They Were. A work on tho “Hessians in the Revolutionary War,” gives us some further insight into the character of the recruits furnished by the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel to Great Britain during our first war with the mother country. These Hessians have always been held in derision by Americans, as human cattle sold by their Princes; they have been looked upon as men without char¬ acter or principle, and not only ready but anxious to be thu 3 sold. Mr. Lowell, in his new work, de¬ scribes the position of these soldiers as little, if any, above that of slaves. The soldiers, he says, really got nothing for th.ir American service. They had their rations, their clothing, aud their pay, it is true; but these would have been theirs if they had staid at home in their bar¬ racks. It is their petty rulers who were paid for their service, their hardships, and their dangers; and if they were killed or wounded it was the rulers who were compensated at a fixed price foi the loss of their human cattle. The recruits furnished to keep up the supply suffered more than the soldiers who first left their homes. They were men enlisted by force, kidnaped, in a werd, and shipped off to America like convicts or swine—-six men to a berth in a ship’s hold. Once kidnaped, the poor fellows had little chance of escape, for the petty Princes knew their trade as slave drivers very well. Iu Wnrtcm burg, if a recruit escaped or a soldier deserted, the whole parish was required to go in pursuit, and in order to make their pursuit earnest and effective they were required to furnish one of their own number iu the place of tlie deserter if he cquid not be caught. The clergy were required to read this order from the pulpit ouce a month, in order to im¬ press upon their congregations a sense of *neir duty aud responsibility. There were fines and imprisonment at help hard labor for. every one .whp dared fd? a fugitive, And death \vas The penalty inducing desertion. Many of the Hessian prisoners taken by the the Americans were aud permitted hire themselves to go into country out as farm laborers, aud when we con aider tlie nature of the despotism under which they lived at home, tlie ease with which they might avoid pursuit, aud the abundant opportunities which this sparsely settled country offered them to improve their fortunes, it seems some what strange that so small a proportion of either the prisoners or the soldiers on duty deserted. Congress held out in ducements to them to do so, and set ac tive agencies at work to persuade them to change their allegiance. They were assured of exemption from military duty, and were promised lands if they would abandon a service to which they were supjiosed to owe nothinu but hatred. And yet, according to the best estimate that Air. Lowell’s investiga tions have enabled him to form, only about 5,000 of the German troops de sorted during the entire seven years. German writers assert that there were fewer desertions from the ranks of the mercenaries than from those of the British regiments, and Mr. Lowell ex plains the fact by saying that desertion was at ouce less easy and less attractive to the German than to the English soldier. How to Disappoint a Balky Horse. A Leominster farmer recently broke bis horse of a “balky” freak in a very quiet and, as he claims, not a cruel man ner. His horse is in excellent flesh and shows no signs of ueeiecc on the part of his master. He drove him, attached to a ruck wagon, to the wood lot for a small load of wood. The animal would not pull a pound. He did not beat him with a club, but he tied him to a tree and “let him stand.” He went to the lot at sunset and asked him to draw, but lie would not straighten a tug. “I made n that p m y m i n d,” said the farmer, “when horse went to the barn he would take that load of wood. Thc night was not cold. I went to.the barn, got blan kets and covered tlie horse warm, and he stoo.1 until morning. Then he re fused — to draw —.....

Once he refused to draw, but as soon as saw me start for the house he started after mo with tho load. A horse becomes lonesome and discontented when left alone as much as a person, and I claim this method, if rightlv used, is far less cruel, and is better for both horse and ma u thau to beat the animal with a club. ’ -------—- ------- Ax , individual ..... , applies to , ,, the cab . com pany for a situation.

Crtllnt Mixed t’p llecidedty on tfce Conn irr»i«n. Colonel Owen, of a Philadelphia regi¬ ment, was anxious to show off his com¬ mand before the division co mm » n der. He had endeavored in every way to per¬ fect his men in guard duty. He bad drilled them on guard mounting in chal¬ lenging and receiving the “Grand Hounds.” He thought he had got them perfected in this part of their military dnty an.l felt very proud of Lis achieve¬ ment. till he was informed one day that his men were all tbe time making mis¬ take's in tbe countersign. So he drilled them in that, giving out all conceivable words, easy and difficult ones as exam¬ ples. He lectured his lieutenant colonel to be watchful and to severely punish every dereliction of duty in this regard. On this occasion the word “Cayenne” was given out as the division counter¬ sign. The lieutenant colonel, a very careful officer, said to the officer of the day o£ the regiment: “Just think of Cayenne pepper and you can easily get tue men fo remember the countersign. Now, mind ye, the Colo:;el and thc General a-e going the rounds with me to-:iiglit. and if yez make mistake ye’ll catch it. ” a Tlie division commander, General Charles P.

Sergeant, advance and give the counter¬ sign.” heard, to his The officer of the day dismay, the sergeant told that the coun¬ tersign, Cayenne, was wrong, When tlie sergeant reported the lieutenant colonel dismounted and in great wrath approached the sentinel on duty and said : “You blundering fool, why don’t yon take the countersign and let the Grand Bounds pass ?” “I’ll cut yer head off if ye speaks sentinel, to me like that again,” replied the down and then bringing his gun to,a charge bayonet, said: “Stand back, or I’ll run a hole in ye.

Musk is obtained from Assam, Siberia, the Altai mountains and other parts of Northern Asia. London is the depot for all varieties of musk.” | “What is ambergris ?” “That is another animal odor. It is : secreted iu the intestines of the sperma : ceii whale. A very curious fact is that ambergris is only accumulated by dis ; ease--that is, it is only secreted in aside whale. It is hard, of a light gray color, and is found in quantities varying from twenty to fifty pounds. It is worth §30 an ounce. So you 6ee if a party of sail ors strike this kind of a whale they can make for shore. Spermaceti whales are found near the island of Sumatra, Mo¬ lucca, Madagascar and thc China seas.” — The Druyijijst. A ISoutli !Sea Figiit.

The returned laborers cm land ing seized a number of young girls and assaulted them, which provoked a fight with the natives, who were armed only with clubs and spears.
