W-JoBfiome o. every description ezeouted cubais! atch. f, Tracyv Traveling Agent. Thursday Morning, Jan. 5,1865. from The Brunumek Telegraph: Southern Prisons. Lieut. William H. Smyth, |ton of Prof. Smith of Bowdoin College] has recently re turned to this town, alter a captivity in South ern military prisons of about fifteen months. Seven or theee were passed in the Libby Rr|^; on at Richmond; three at Macon, Georgia; two at Charleston, S. C., and the rest at Co lumbia, S. C. Mr. S. comes back In good health, though bearing the marks of suffering and exposure. The preservation of his health he attributes to boxes which he fortunately received from friends, and to negotiations of varions sorts he was able to effect. For example, by selling his watch he was able to purchase 75 Confed erate dollars worth of onions, and thus Keep off the sewvy. He ssjns that it the priftpam had been left entirely to the mercies or the Confederacy, they would have starved. Mr. S was taken prisoner at, the battle of Chickamauga. He was carried to Richmond via Atlauta, Augusta, Raleigh, Weldon and Petersburg. The journey occupied more than a week. Into* boa car, uncleaued from its last freight of cattle or sorghum molosses, twice as many men were packed as could sit upon the floor. Scarcely any food was given during the whole trip. At the Libby, the men were crowded together as thick as they could lie. No straw, no furniture, no conveniences scarcely of any sort were afforded. The ra tions were a corn loaf, weighing a pound and a quarter. It was made of meal, and water. and a little salt, and was solid and heavy as lead 8-4 of a gill of wormy, black or white beaus, and as much rice were added with a Very little salt. At Macon they were turned into a barren sand plain, with scarcely the shelter pf here and there a plhe tree. A close lence, 18 feet high, shut out all views of the world without. No boxes, mails, or comforts of any sort, were received for months. At Charleston, where the prisoners seemed to be out of the jurisdic tion of the infamous Gen. Winder, they fared better. At Columbia some 1600 officers were turned into a field, and left to shift for them selves as best they might. Notwithstanding this treatment, Yankee in genuity, In innumerable ways, has succeeded in frustrating the otherwise' inevitable result of such cruelty. The contrivances, shirts, strategy, constantly employed, would fill vol umes it narrated. Over 1000 escapes of offi cers from the prisons have been effected, and between three and four hundred officers have reached our lines. At the Libby an officer was employed to couut the prisoners. He.had been an accountant in New York City. Be said he had a good reputation there as an accountant, but he coutd'nt count a thousand Yankees. The person upon whom rests the afiuef re sponsibility for tne outrages upon our prison ers, Is Gen. Winder. Under him are the Tur ners. Mr. S. with others, escaped from the train, while on the way to Macon from Augusta. He travelled through the heart of Georgia. He was betrayed at last by a negro, who pray ed to be a house servant; whether this was intentional or accidental, is not known. The negroes generally have been friendly and even devoted to escaped Yankees, often periling their own lives in order to be of Bervice. An Instance of treachery has scarcely been knowo. This kiodness has made a great impression upon the army officers. The blacks have treated them like brothers. Re-captured offi cers unite iu testimony to the fidelity of the blacks. One incident among thousands will illustrate ibis. wmie secreteu in a uucaei, uiree oincers saw some negroes, early In the morning, come out aud begin hoeing corn. Seeing no white man near, one of the party accosted them. Learning that there was no danger, the cotters came out, and announced themselves as Yan kees. Immediately the negroes brought out their own scanty supply of com and bacon, and Insisted upon its being shared. They said their masters take all of their earnings. They had got from their owners the idea that the war was to make them free. They direct ed the party to the bouse of a black further on, where they said provisions could be found. The officers missed their way and came upon another squad of negroes. They were equal ly friendly. When the officers came near the house, one of them went cautiously to the door iu his shirt sleeves. He found within sn old woman and several daughters. He asked if be could get anything to eat. “Not a bite,” said the old woman. The officer started to go, but beckoned to the old woman to follow. She followed, and he Informed her that he was an escaped Yan kee officer. “De Lor bless your soul,” was the immedi ate response. “Massa, is dat so ‘•Yon wouldn’t betray me, would you?” “Oh no, Massa, I’se prayed for you, and prayed for you, night and morning, dat yon might succeed. “Perhaps I can get something to eat here?” She Immediately gave him buttermilk, aud sent a boy with some to the two in the thicket. Soon the husbabd came out and guided them to a better thicket Not loug after the whole family came out, bringing fried chicken, fried eggs, ham, wheatrfiour biscuit, corn bread, butter and coffee. The negro man said he was well treated, and had enough. He would like to be tree, yet didn’t suppose it would add materially to his comfort. But he didn’t want to leave his children slaves. His chief care seemed to be for them. He Baid the negroes prayed for the Yankees even in their meetings, whenever it was sate. He had a good idea of the objects of tiie war. This was in the heart of Georgia, and before Sherman entered the State. The escape of so many Yankee officers has diffused a vast amount of information among the blacks. One old negro said when askctl if the blacks would fight for the Confedera cy— “Jes so sure as dey put arms in de hand of the niggers jes so sure de war stop right darl Jes so sure as de Lor made Moses and placed lam in de hebbins!” He intimated further that the blacks were now not used to arms, but when they had them would know on which side to fight. Mr. S. confirms the accounts we have had of the difficulty the rebels find iu transporting supplies for their armies, and of the algos of approaching military exhaustion. An Ossified Man. There is »*tsn residing in Portage county, Ohio, who, since his fifteenth year, has been almost ossified. Vt that age he injured his knee by a fall fro^ his horse. The inj ury caused ossification, vhich immediately set in, and in the course of Ifteen years had complet ed its terrible work. He can only move two of his fingers and two if his toes. He has not opened his jaws for tnoe than thirty years, yet still manages to talkwivh ease. His food is placed within his lips, ant without masti cation is conveyed to his itonach. He lies In the same position during an e.tire day, only changing bis position once k twenty-four hours. His skin I'nrtufiately retags condition. He has been blind for thirty years,-md C0B1. pelted to draw upon his memory vjr mental exercise. This faculty has become exceeding ly tenacious. He remembers the iBos.Qinute and trifling incident or circumstance; the entire past, every fact and experience, before him, piled up like strata, and summons at will, as occasion requires, occurrences which have faded from the minds of his friends. His reccol lection of localities, is wonderful. Places that he had vieittad years ago, before struck with blindness, he can now. identify as he rides along, so vivid a recollection has he of the relative position of things, as bridges, rivers, &c. He is very expert at mathematical cal culations, and can with great readiness give, for example, the number of square inches in an area the number of whose square feet or rods is given him. One of the Pictures of War. A correspondent of the Chicago Journal, relates the following Interview of a Federal foraging party with 'a Tennessee farmer At another place we called on the owner, a man ol over sixty years, well saved, yet evi dently much cast downaud disheartened. He was polite, and answered all questions studi ously. On being asked what he had( to spare, he answered—-‘'Not much; indeed, nothing." His wile and four children, standing beside him, said not a word, but the countenance of the whole group showed that the old man told the truth. “Indeed, I have nothing," said he; “what, with one army and another campaign ing through this part of Tennessee, they have stripped me of all I could spare aud more too.” “Have you no horses or mules askad the officer, “res” answered the man, “I .have one more mule, which is entirely broken down; it was left by a_ trooper, who took my last horse in its stead.? “No beef cattle?” was the next question. “No, sot one,” was the answer. “Any hogs “Tes, air, I have four pigs, which I had intended for my win ter's supply of meat," Any negroes asked the officer. “No, not one; my servants all lefttne-iwo or three months ago. I have not one on the place. I have to chop all my wood, apd my wife and daughters do indoors, what they can. “Ahy corn or wheat?” “No wheat, and only two or three barrels of corn,’ was the reply. “Let’s see yonr mule,’said the o%er. It was brought up, and was as the old man said. “Show me those pigs,” was the next de mand. When the old man heard this he could hardly speak—his hopes were almost at an end. He showed the pigs, however; they were no more than such a family would need, nor as much. Tha officer then kindly said: “You may keep all these things; they will help you and can be of little good to ns,” and gave the old man a “safeguard” which might save his property from our troops. Three years ago this man owned a large, well stocked plantation, had cattle and hogs in plenty, with servants to cpme at his call, and corn to sell or keep. No w, he was sincerely thankful, an d much moved, that we spared him his fouriUtle shoats, hie pittance of corn, and his old mare mule, With which he hoped to make a small crop next spring. The war has been at his very door; he bad seen it in all relations, and knew that it was vigorously prosecuted. Natural Equality.—On one occasion the senior Stephenson accidentally met a gen tleman and his wife at an inn ta Derbyshire, whom he entertained for some time with shrewd observations and playful sallies. At length the lady, requested to know the name of the remarkable stranger. “Why, madam,” said he, ♦‘they used once to call me Geordie Stephenson; now I am called George Stephen son, Esquire, of Tapton House, near Chester held. And further let me say, that I have dined With princes, and peers, and commoners, with persons of all classes, from the highest to the humblest. I have made my dinner of a red herring at a hedge bottom, and gone through the meanest drudgery; I have seen mankind in all Its phases, and the conclusion that I have arrived at is, that if we’re all stripped, there’s not much difference. “fur goods.

l'HE DAILY PRESS. POHTZAXB, MAIXX.

Thursday Homing, Jan. 5,1865. The circulation, of the Daily Press is larger lhl which it may well be proud. In these initiatory days of the Legislature of 1885, the subjects for a tetter are not nu merous. It is not till the second week at least, of the session, that the graver matters of legislation begin to crop oat. Turn we then to the Executive Council while waiting for the organization of the two branches. What are they about? Some times at ftie close of the year, this question would not be of much public import. But what is there of importance now? It‘ has been the custom for the Massachusetts Exe cutive, on the wane of each year, to pardon two criminals. In December last, on the anniversary of the advent of the Great Master, they repeated the gracious clemency. One oj the uplifted had committed murder. He was a life prisoner. Immured in his sepulchre and dead to the world, his return to life and man hood, was like a resurrection from the grave. They had good reason for the mitigation of this fearful sentence. The Council of Maine, signaled the birth of the new year with similar acts of clemency. Two convicts were pardoned. One of them was the oldest resident in the prison, save Thorn, and was none other than Edmund Hig gins of Denmark. A day since, and he was under the ban of a sentence for life! Since the middle of 1850, he has been dragging his weary body from workshop to cell and back.-* For nearly 15 years he has been in prison. It was a second sentence, tool To how many councils he has prayed for pardon 1 With the natural aptitude of an able lawyer, and con siderable experience, his case has always been prepared with much skill. Failing once, he returned again and again, with the moat in domitable endurance, Nothing discouraged him. How his eyes would glow, after his us ual preparation, to know that he coaid be heard before a new board. How he will ex pand when he gets the news of his pardon.— J udge Walton, (who was the prosecuting of ficer when he was convicted) went in and ex pressed his belief that Higgins bad suffered sufficiently for the crime. His opinion was, that the crime of rape should be punished for a term of years, (as in New York) and not he made capital—thus not inducing the culprit to conceal his crime by adding that of murder to the catalogue, because tbe punishment would be no more, as in the case of Doyle. The walks that haveknown Higgins for the last fifteen years, I trust will know him no more forever! and he says they shall not. Hetmght to know. The other happy man, is Stephen Pbin net, of Cumberland County. He is a man sixty years old, and has been in prison more than two years, for assaulting an officer (some ten years ago) while in the execution ofhiB duty. The length of time since the offence was committed—the misapprehension as to the time of his sentence, (It was supposed un til recently that it was two years and not three for which he was Bent over,) and his age, all tended to open the prison doors to Phin ney, with a full patron. Thus has this unfor tunate man—now fertile sere and yellow leaf escaped from those toils which had entwined themselves about him—and his numerous and respectable relatives and friends will rejoice with him that he has a “free And full pardon.” Pelham. Insane Hospital.—We are laid under no obligations to any of the gentlemen who make. reports to the Governor, prior to the assem bling of the Legislature, for copies of their re ports, though their reports, It would Beem, have been very properly furnished for the ben efit of papers out of the slate. The state papers having thus been overlook ed iu the courtesy of oar state institution of ficials, we arc obliged to look abroad for such facts as. we give below. We copy from the correspondence of the Boston Advertiser. Tbe superintendent of tbe Slate Insane Asy lum, reports that tbe whole number wbo have been under treatment in tbe institution dur ing the year past is 388—208 m des and 181 fe males. There were received 124—80 males and 44 females. Discharged 135—80 males and 55 females. Of the discharged 49 were recovered, 22 improved, 11 unimproved, and 53 died. Two hundred and fifty-four were un der treatment on the 30th Nov., 1864. Dr. Harlow, the superintendent, discusses the scheme which has beeimrged. of establishing a separate institutiorfB^at least, placing in a building by thenu^^^Bsane criminals.— Several have beeBBQ^^d lire past year whose iusanity was connected with the crime of arson. Dr. Harlow does not look ugou tbe plan with favor. During the year the vener able chaplain. Rev. J. H. Ingraham, and the faithful steward, Theo. C. Allan, Esq., have died, and their places have been filled by the trustees. The trustees report that building as at pres ent constructed is planned tor 250 patients, while the average ol the past vear was 263 The last legislature directed the trustees to procure plans for the addition ol another wing and the plan and estimate of exnenaa /so« 000) is appended to the report. REFORM school. The trustees of the Reform School, report a deficit in that institution for the past year of $3992 70, and estimate the amount to be ap. propriated by the State for 1865 at $17,200 The Superintendent reports the whole num ber in the school during the year to be 257._ Eight hundred dnd thirty-nine have been re ceived into the school since its foundation and six hundred and sixty-two discharged. Eigh ty-four were committed during the year, 27 of whom were sent there by the Portland police court. Eighty were discharged, ten by expi ration of term, eighteen allowed to enlist and the rest mostly indentured to farmers or me chanics. The products of the farm for the season amounted to $5261 98 in value. New Hampshire.—The Union State Con vention which met at Concori, N. H., yester day, nominated Hon. Frederick Smyth of Manchester, tor Governor. The Freedmen. To the Mditor of the Preti: The condition of the Freedmen is justly claiming a considerable Bhare of public atten tion in this State; and the question, “how shall we best promote their welfare,” is one which the people desire to have answered. It is well known that a number of Associa tions have entered with zeal upon the work of providing for their necessities. At least five Societies in different parts of the country were organized and had their Agents and Teachers in the field, not long after the out break of the rebellion. The foundation of so many different Associations for the same gen eral purpose, with no bond of union or con cert of action, and the sending of their agents into the field to solicit aid, has naturally re sulted in more or less misunderstanding and los9 of time and labor. That these difficulties were foreseen and an effort m^je to provide against theqp, will be shown by brief extracts from the last anuual report of the New Eng land Freedmen’s Aid Society. “For the purpose of effecting such a union, the five principal Freedmen’s Societies, were some m on the ago invited to send delegates for a conference at Washington. The several committees met on the second day of Decem ber (1863) and adopted the following plan for a National Society.” Here is a part of the first article of the Constitution, and a single resolve adopted by the Convention. “The National Freedmen’s Relief Associa tion of New Tork, the Educational Commis sion for Freedmen of Boston, the Pennsylvania Freedmen’s Relief Association of Philadelphia, the Western Freedmen’s Aid Commission oi Cincinnatti, and the Northwestern Freedmen’s Aid Commission of Chicago, do form the United States Commission fob the Re lief of the National Freedmen. “Ruolted. That we reccomraend to the several Associations that they arrange for themselves distinct fields for the Collection of funds And materials of aid, and, that so far as possible, they avoid all collision or interfer ence which may unfavorably affect their sep arate interests and the common prosperity.” This reccomraendatlon was so reasonable that the Educational Commission at once adopted it, and localized Its title, and it has since been known as the “New England Freedmen’s Aid Society.’ 'Die only difficulty that I am aware of, which has arisen between these various Societies, was a temporary one growing out of the fact that the New Yolk Society refused for some time to act upon the reccommendation of the United States Commission; but would In sist on the right of its Agents to collect mon eyf anywhere and everywhere, In utter disre gard of the interest of the New England Soci ety, or of that good understanding and fellowship which it was so desirable should exist between them.—And the one other fact, that some of the friends of the New York Society, undertook to invalidate the truth of my statement, that the N. Y. Society allow some of its Collecting Agents one third of the money they get, as their compensation. But when I substantiated my statements by reference to Rev. H. G. Stewart, in Provi dence, B. I., Rev, R. Hanning Chipman, in Middlesex County, Maas., and Rev. J. M. Fol lett, at Gardiner in this State, allot whom told me they reoeived that Commission, the mat ter was at length dropped, and a cordial understanding has since existed between the managers of the two Socltles. On coming into this State the present win ter for the purpose of organizing local socie ties which would select and support teachers, to be commissioned by the New England so ciety, I find that the Rev. Cyril Pearl, has to a considerable extent represented this difficul ty as still existing, and that I have misrepre sented the N. Y. society; and presenting these presumed facts as reasons for the formation of a “Maine Freedmen’s Aid Society,” “for the sake of unity and efficiency oi action, and to avoid the danger of conflicting agencies or rival societies.” The conflict aud rivalry spoken of ta the circular of Mr. Pearl I supppse refer to the temporary misunderstanding above alluded to, which,as before stated,no longerexists. And now is it wise, just at this time, when "harmo ny of action has been secured between these two old societies, to raise the ghost of a by gone d)9cord, and then attempt to lay it, by organizing and putting still another rival so ciety in the field I ask if the currents of communication to the Freedmen, are not already sufficient in number And are they sufficiently broad and deep to satisfy all minds I have the most cordial fellowship with the American Missionary Association, so far as it aids the Freedmen. But no one, I think, has a right to demand that contributions to Its treasury shall be exclusively devoted to the Freedmen, but only such share as the Associa tion in its discretion shall see fit to appropri ate to their benefit. What then is the readiest, most economical, and the most efficient channel through which the Fseedmen may be reached I answer, the New England Freedmen’s Aid Society. It is New England lit its ideu and methods, which no other society is. Its machinery is ail in working order. Its funds are expended in the most economical way, the cost of col lecting them for the last year, being less than six per cent, of the whole amount raised. Its agents are now actively engaged in or ganizing branch societies in the various cities and towns throughout New England, which will select their own teachers, and pledge at least twenty-five dollars per month for their support, such tachers will be commissioned by the New England Society, and sent into the field at the earliest practicable date. The lo cal society by frequent correspondence with such teachers would be kept informed of all matters of interest connected with the school and its surroundings; and thus brought into vital communication with the Freedmen, and faee to face with this great work; the Presi dents and Secretaries of the local societies, being ex-officio members of the government of the parent society. In this way would the harmony and concert of action be secured, which the movers towards the formation of a State Society in Maine, so much profess to desire. As befor^stated, the machinery of the New England Society is in excellent working or der. Its commissions are recognized by the government and power granted to those teach ers holding them. And it the friends in this State would at once organize local societies have their teachers at once sent into the field’ as above suggested, they would accomplish the desired result much more cheaply and speedily than by the formation of a new State society, which would involve much delay in getting its machinery into working order, to say nothing of the Increased difficulties of avoiding those so much dreaded “collisions” with other societies alreafly in the field. For the N. E. Freedmen’s Aid Society, Losing Moodt, Agent. Portland, Jan. 3,1865. HTA writer in the New York Tribune oom plains that while Protestant clergymen, when drafted into the army have been compelled to respond either in person or by substitute, Roman Catholic Priests have not been required to serve either in person or by substitute. He denounoes this as unpardonable pastiality. a"At a recent Union meeting in St. Louis, Charles Drake, Esq., a radical leader in that city, stated that the convention which assembles on the sixth of January next, composed of sixty six members, will probably contain not more than six pro-slavery members. Its first duty will be to proclaim the im mediate and uncondi tional emancipation of all slaves, and the second the disfranchisement of known and contuma cious rebels. Mr Drake thought the selection of the day for the meeting appropriate; the Day of the Epihauy, or the manifestation h a union that the original powerofeaoh would hepr served, the disagreeable qualities of oommon tar removed, and tha price of the compound be within the means of all. At last, after a lone course ofdlffleultebomioai experiments he found that by adding to these jive other ingredi ents, each one valuable by itself, he not only obtain ed the desired results, but greatly inareased the eurative power of the compound. This basing been thoroughly tested by praotioe. it now offered to the general public as a safe, pleasant and infallible rem edy. Price 60 Cents per Botttle. For sale by W. F.

Allan Brothers Co., through the Purser of the ship for files of papers. The intelligence is one day later than that received at New York. The steamship Asia, from Liverpool 24th, and Queenstown 25th ult., arrived at Halifax yesterday, with two days later news than that by the Nova Scotian. The news Will be found in our telegraphic column. Surgical Operation.—Mr. Stephen Har mon of Buxton, about two years since Inst the sight of one of his eyes by a cataract, and since then his eye has been the seat of a malig. cant and painful disease. Ou Thursday, 29th nit., he came to this city and placed himself under the care of Dr. Tewksbury, who re moved the entire ball of tbe eye. He was un der the influence of ether at the time. On the following Wednesday, Jan. 4th, he called at our office and gave us the facts, and was well enough to be on his way home. Theatre.—The drama of Ireland as it Was, was well performed last evening,and the farce went off admirably. The house was not so well Oiled as it ought to have been, nor indeed the acting deserved. The truth is, this company perform far better than many which have come here with high sounding words— ns from New York, Philadelphia and Boeton theatres, and they deserve a good patronage from the public. This evening two sterling dramas are to be presented, and we hope to see a full bouse. The Annual Meeting of the Dirigo In surance Company, was held at the office of the company at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon.— A. K. Shurtleff, J. B. Brown, J. B. Carroll, John Lynch, S. E. Spring, D.

Deserting the Sinking Ship. The Washington correspondence of the New York Express says the exodus from Gen. Lee’s army is almost incredible. Daily numbers reach Washington,having abandoned the rebel cause. At the existing raU of desertion one month will deplete the rebel army confronting Gen. Grant full as much as the average casualty of a general battle. Piano-fortes.—By reference to the adver tisement it will be noticed that Prolessor M. Windham. Orders have been received that hereafter no enlistments will be made eXGept for Infantry. Portland, J*n. 4,1865. At the annual meeting of American Hose Co.

POETRY. tor Iht Trttt. Savannah. Once more alts victory, eagle-winged, Upon our banner bright. And o V the sky of morning breaks Another glorious light! Shout all je bannered armies, Shout o’er your trenches deep. Where by the traitors latest hold, Tour ceaseless witch ye keep! Shout all, ye waiting nation' Another link is broken, ▲nd scattering the fearful spel1, Another word is spoken! And sinks the vile Palmetto, Before the g ittering stars! Let al»the hil s reverberate With loud and long huuas! 01 not in vain the saorifioe, The precious b ood we gave. And not in vain the uo chars Ue, Withia the Southern grave! We thank Thee, God of bittles! Thai la the country’s night, Thy hand hath held our banner, Thy justice blessed the right D«!. 16,1864., *rS A Oou ageons Darkey. Jake was a lictle negro who belonged to Dr Taflaiero,aaJ was said to have In his little lraeas a ueart as big as General Jackson’s to say uutniog of Napoleon Bonaparte and Ztch Taylor. He didn’t fear our respectable lei luw-clliieu, old Nick, and as for coolness—he was as cool as the lip-top of the North Foie. One day, Dr. TaUal'ero, upon the occasion of the commencement of a Medical College, of which he held tbe chair of Auatomy, gave a dinner. Among the guests was a well-known veutriloquist. Late m the evening, alter tbe battle bad done its work, the conversation turned upon courage,and the Doctor boasted considerably 01 tbe lion heart 01 hU favorite mauJake. He offered to bet that nothing cou>d scare him; and this bet the ventriloquist took up, naming at the same time the test he wa ited imposed. Jake was sent for and came. ••Jake,” said the Doctor, “I have bet a large sum of mouey on your head, and you must wlu it Do you think you can?” “Barry well, marster,” replied Jake, “jest tell ilia uigga what he’s to do, and he'll do it, shure.” “1 want you to go to the dissecting-room,— You will dud two dead bodies there. Cut off tbe bead of one with a large knife which yoa will had tuere, and bilug It to me. You must not lake a light, however; and don’t get iright eoed.” “Dat’s all, Is It?” inquired Jake—Oh! berry well. I’ll do dat shure tor sartln; and as lor being frighten, tbe debbil himself ain’t a gwine to lrigblen me.” Jake accordingly set off, and reaching the dissecting room, groped about till he he found the knife and the bodies. He had just applied tbe former to the neck of one ol the latter, when,from the body he was about to decapi tate, a hollow and sepulchral voice exclaim ed: “Let my head alone!” “Yes, sab, replied Jake, cooly, I ain't ’tic lar; an ’tudder head ’ll do jest as well.” He accordingly put the knife to the neck of the next corpse, when another voice, equally unearthly in its tone,shrieked oat: “Let my head alone!” Jake was puzzled at first, bat answered pre sently— “Look yah! Marster Tolliver sed I mns bring one ob de heads, an’ you ain’t gwine to fool me, no bowl’’ And Jake hacked away until he separated the head from the body.— Thereupon half a dozen voices screamed out: “Bring it back! bring it back!” Jake bad reached tbe door, but on hearing this, turned round and said: “Now—now, see yah J Jesyou keep quiet, you dam tool, and don’t wake up de womeD lolk. Marster’s only gwine to look at de bumps.” “Bring my bead back at once!” cried the voice. “Tend to you right away, sab,” replied Jake as he marched of! with the head, and in the next minute deposited it before tbe Doctor. “So you have got It, I see, said his mas ter. Tea, sah,” replied the unmoved Jake, “but please be done lookin’ at him soon, lease de gemman told me to fetch him back right away." A Good Answer.—At a banquet, when solviug enigma, was one of the diversions, Al exander said to his courtiers: “What is that which did not come last year, has not come this year, and will not come next year A distressed officer, starting up, said: “It certainly must be our arrears of pay.” The King was so diverted that he com manded him to be paid up and his pay in creased.
