When Gen. Earhr made his great ion Waihiiurtoo. write* aa ex-rebel I was aooat- _ ni city, and life ocpfered the city limits twenty-four boon before hit battle- fiafp appeared in light. I was dressed in citizen's clothes, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and claimed to have been driven ont of Richmond because I had written threatening letters to Jefferson Davis. I had been inside the fortifications for half a day, and was slowly working out, when a eoaple of young men, both of whom were considerably the worse for liquor, halted me and wanted to fight. I had a pencil and a block of paper with me, and I wrote: "1 am deaf and dumb." That made no difference with them. Indeed, they declared that it would be a novel idea to lick a deaf and dumb man, and one of them gave me a cuff on the ear. In those days I weighed 160 pounds and had the muscle of a prize-fighter. I tried to get away from them without further trouble, but when they seemed determined to have a row I gave them all they wanted, and wasn't many min­ utes about it. A crowd of soldiers and civilians collected, the provost guard came up, and the result was as I had anticipated. I was arrested and carried Off to a guard-house. One of the young men, who afterward turned out to be related to a member of the Cabinet, followed me to the office of the provost marshal and charged me with being a spy. No one seemed to entertain a doubt that I was deaf and dumb, as I claimed, and my examination was car- -ried on in writing. I was asked my name, age, where born, and a hundred other questions, and then searched. They found nothing of a criminating nature, and I reasoned that. I would be detained until after the excitement had passed and then turned loose. After being detained three days an officer entered my quarters one morn­ ing and said to me: "Well, dummy, yon ean pack up and go out" The minute I heard his step outside ' I was on my guard, but he spoke in Buch a natural tone that I came near giving myself away. On three different occasions during the war I played the part of a deaf and dumb man, and I tell you it takes all the nerve and presence Of mind a man can call up. I sat facing the door, and, while I heard his words, I made no movement. He came closer to me and said: "Come, pack up your traps; you are to be turned loose." I looked him straight in the eye with­ out winking, and after a bit a look of chagrin stole oyer his face and he mo­ tioned for me to follow him. He took . ine to the provost marshal's office, and I was ushered into the private room, where the marshal and three or four Other officials were seated. On the way to the office, as we crossed a wide street, the officer suddenly exclaimed: . " There's a runaway horse--look out!" If I hadn't been expecting some such thing on his part I might have betrayed thyself. As I gave no sign, continuing on with my head down, I heard him growling: .... "They think they've got a sucker, ®ut they'll find out their mistake." V I entered the office knowing that every trick would be resorted to to i break me down, and my nerves were graced as if to charge a battery of artil­ lery. I was left standing by the door for a moment, when one of the officers looked up quietly and said: V "Take a seat, sir, and well attend to you in a moment." I made no move, but I looked around the room in a stupid sort of a way. I Kras looking out of the window on to a Ifoof when the same officer said: "You may come forward and take this chair." I stood like a stone, and he rose up, {same over to me, and led me to a chair %t the table. When I was seated one Of the others remarked: ' "Write your name, age, and last place ©f residence on a slip of paper." That Was trick number three, and it failed, as the others had done. By and by the itiarehal wrote on a slip of paper:, vhere are you are you, and "Who Irom ?" I wrote in reply: "I am Charles Jones, of Richmond." "But you are a Union man," sug­ gested one of the officers aloud. I saw his lips move, but he got no gign from me. The examination con­ tinued in this manner for a full hour, fhe men using every artifice to trap me, but they failed to score a single point. I knew they would reserve the sharpest |>oint for the last, and was therefore iaerved up for it. At length the mar­ shal pushed back in his chair, pointed his finger at my brea&t and angrily ex­ claimed: "Where did that Confederate button come from ?" It was another failure. Then he turned to liis companions and said: "Gentlemen, it's no \ise. The man is certainly deaf and dumb, and a d--d fool besides." "We have wasted our time," replited a second. "He is not only what he claims to be, but may be of great ser­ vice to us. I'd have the officer take him over to the Secretary of War." "I guess I will,* said the officer, and h? rang a bell, and I heard a door open. Then he turned to me, careless as you please, and said:, "Go with the officer." It was their last shot. I never moved a muscle until the officer approached and placed his hand on me. I was taken back to the guard-house and kept a prisoner for another week, and then the disgusted marshal turned me loose in the streets. Ear-Lore. Cutting off the ears was among the Romans the common punishment of thieves, pillagers of temples, fugitives and slaves, a survival of which was to be traced in the English mode of lopping off the ears of public offenders whilst standing in the pillory down to com­ paratively recent times. Another Ro­ man practice was the pulling of wit­ nesses' ears in a court of law as a reminder of the gravity of their situa­ tion when vacillating or hesitating in their evidence. Children's ears were likewise wont to be pulled or soundly "boxed" by their masters. Another custom was the wholesale stuffing up of the ears of unoffending gentlewomen in time of war. This was essentially of Roman origin, first brought under Brit­ ish notice by the followers of Julius Caisar; and thenceforth frequently per­ petrated by the* soldiery, particularly during the English subjugation of Wales, until it in due time gave way to less sportive and infinitely more bar­ baric practices. Time-honored though these several observances may appear, they must nevertheless be regarded as Mm of Jewish iiiatory. This was t he boring ef the ear of every slave who, his term of servitude having expired (six years), yet declined to claim his freedom, pre­ ferring to remain with his lord and family for an indefinite period. In such a case his master was bound to take him to the door-post, and there bore his ear with an awl, as a sign of his voluntary attachment to that house.--Budget. Baldness and Its Causes. Baldness, manifestly, does not indi­ cate sluggishness of brain, nor, on the other hand, does the loss of hair neces­ sarily follow intense mental activity, or nervous irritability and sensitiveness. Otherwise Carlyle could not have re­ tained so full a quantity of hair down to advanced old age. On the whole, hair of the lighter shades does not seem to drop off so readily and exten­ sively, or to lose its color so soon, as darker hair. In both cases the cause may, perhaps, be that light hair is commonly thicker than dark hair. In light-haired people the hair may be­ come thinner, or partially gray, without the defect being equally conspicuous. A flaxen-haired belle has, it has been said, from 140,000 to 150,000 hairs, wliilo the dark-haired brunette has only 100,- 000 to 110,000. But the hair of ladies is usually more abundant than that of the other sex, and grows to a greater length, extending in some cases to five or six feet. With this greater copious­ ness of hair is probably to be associated the fact that women become bald less frequently than men. Like grayness, baldness may occur at a very early age, and without necessarily giving evidence of diminished strength or impaired vi­ tality. But about fifty or a little earlier, baldness and grayness become common. Why, in individual cases, there should be exemption more or less complete it may be difficult or im­ possible to discover. The hair has been spoken of as a sort of excretion, or as having a life independent of the gen­ eral vitality of the body. But, at best, this can only be partly true. Cases have, indeed, been alleged of the hair continuing to grow for a long time after death. It is only about tliirty years ago that two cases of this kind were re­ ported. One of these was at Tiirvev, in Bedfordshire, where on the tomb of Lady Johanna Mordaunt being opened, the body of the lady was found, after 300 years, dressed in a shroud of yellow silk, and with her dark auburn hair filling up the space around her head, enclosing it as in a mould. And in another case the hair was said to have absorbed into itself the substance of the body, and to have filled the coffin with glossy ringlets. But these alleged in­ stances of the growth of hair after death have been regarded as, at best, but questionable. There is, in all probabil­ ity, a connection between the life of the hair and the general life of the body too close, at any rate, to allow of sucjr inde­ pendent growth. Each liair jn its minute cavity or pit in the skin is like a bulb--a hyacinth, say--in a glass, such as one commonly sees in windows in the 'winter and spring. There is, however, this difference, that the bulb of the hair derives its nourishment directly from the skin, and without needing such roots as those which the hyacinth bulb sends down in the water. When baldness comes on through advancing age, the pits or cavities just mentioned become shrivelled and decay, and then the power of producing or nourishing hair is lost, so as to defy "hair restorers" and "electrical stimu­ lating pomades." That baldness should be most common at the top of the head has been accounted for on the ground of the skin being especially tight in that position. And it is not difficult to tinder- stand that, under such circumstances, the tension might have a specially un­ favorable influence on the nourishment of the hair. Such causes for the Jail­ ing off of hair as tobacco smoking, the excessive use of alcoholic liquors and the wearing of tight coverings for the head must be looked upon as more or less hypothetical.--London Standard. A Horse Stalked by n Lion. I think it was on board this vessel that I heard the following story from Capt. (now Gen.) Wallington, who was himself an eye-witness of what took place: Before the declaration of peace this gentleman had been ordered to pro­ ceed with a body of artillery on a fdr- thgr voyage up the Tigris. Owing to the tremendous force of the current and the difficulty of always feeling sure as to the channel suited to an ocean steamer it Was only possible to proceed during the hours of daylight. As the shades of niglit approached the vessel would be moor?d in deep water till the morning. Once, while thus at rest during a very dark night, one of the ar­ tillery horses, through some accident, fell overboard, and was instantly swept out of sight at a speed that rendered all help to the poor animal quite out of the question. The first thing in the morning, however, everyone was on the lookout to see if he could perchance observe the form of the missing steed, for the country around was fiat and open, and there was no reason to sup­ pose that the animal, if he should be fortunate enough to effect a landing, would wauder to any great distance from the bank, where there was cer­ tainly plenty of water and more fodder than elsewhere. "See!" exclaimed someone, "there he is." Yes, he was all right and grazing contentedly on a poor patch of cultivation which was mixed up in a straggling sort of way with low scrub jungle. "Win*," said another person, "there's a pig following him about." On this, telescopes and binoculars were brought to bear upon the distant scene, wliich was nothing more nor less than the horse being stalked by a lion! In vain did the beast of prey use all its cunning to advance, under cover of the bushes, to springing distance. The horse always seemed to know the whereabouts of his enemy, whom he in­ variably foiled by trotting just at the right moment into the center of an­ other scanty grain-field, and there graz­ ing, with such feelings as only another horse can describe, for few human be­ ings would think of eating under these circumstances. At last the lion judged the time had come, and, with a bound swift as lightning, was seen flying through the air with a force and pre?? cision that seemed to mean instant death to his intended victim. But an artillery charger, trained to the arts of war and armed with iron hoofs, is not so easily to be made mince­ meat of. All were delighted to witness the fine defense made by this courage­ ous courser. Lashing out vigorously, he received the lion with such "right and left" that the blows could be heard like the sound of a flail by the people on board the steamer. Not only did the monarch of the forest fall crumpled and worsted to the earth, but, unable to renew the combat, he slunk back and vanished into the jtmgle whence he had come.--Our Indian Stations. THOMAS BBHTOS. Rnnlnlmnmi of the Missouri Senator. A correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, writing of Thomas H. Benton, says: When I made his acquaintance, m 1839, he met me with great cordiality, saying that he had known and esteemed my father. This circumstance, and the fact that we were in political harmony, caused me to call •ipon him frequently, awl I never left him without knowing a £»*od deal more than I did before. He was born in North Carolina, but before reaching his majority he removed to Teunessee with his mother, who settled in Will­ iamson County, twenty-five miles south­ west of Nashville. He told me when and from what judges he obtained a law license, and of his success at the bar., Gen. Jackson was one of his stead­ fast friends. He also told me of tho violent affray which subsequently took place in a hotel at Nashville between himself and brother Jesse on one side and Gen. Jackson and some friend:; on the other, in which severe pistol and dagger wounds were given, but fortu­ nately without loss of life. The quar­ rel was between Jesse Benton and Gen. Jackson, but when it came to blows of course Thomas H. Benton took the part of his brother. There was a tem­ porary estrangement between the two old friends, but it did not lessen the high opinion of either for the other. Here let me say, by way of parenthesis, that I traveled one day with Jesse Ben­ ton in Texas in 185(5, and found him still hostile to Gen. Jackson. I said to him: "Your brother, Thomas H., is one of the ablest supporters of Gen. Jackson in the Senate." His only reply was: "Oh, Tom's a politician." Thomas H. Benton served one term in the Tennessee Legislature. I pass over his patriotic services in the war of 181*2 It had closed but a few months when h< was found in St. Louis practicing his profession. In four years more the State of Missouri was admitted into the Union, and Col. Benton was elected one of the first Senators, and continu­ ously by successive elections until 1851. The labor he performed in these thirty years was herculean. His legislative rejiorts, bills, and speeches were suffi cient to fill many volumes. His sup port of the administrations of Presidents Jackson and Yau Buren was sublime. He had many a tilt with his political opponents in the Senate, and if he ever came out second l>est I never heard of it. He dealt, as he said himself, in the effective logic of figures and facts. Missouri would have done well to have kept him in the Senate as long- as lit lived. But she did not. Younger men got tired of waiting for his withdrawal from public life, and they defeated hiir in 1850. Subsequently he was elected a representative in Congress, and h« died three years after the end of hit term. He died in Washington City- April 10, 1858, aged 76 years. Hit writings and speeches will be consulted by the political student to the lates' posterity. "" . Buying a Press. He was traveling for an Eastern house which makes a specialty of print ing materials and sight drafts. H' tried to sell us a large press with wheels on it and a strongly made anc binding chattel mortgage attachment. He spoke very highly of this lattei feature and said their mortgages were never known to break. He said tin mortgages they were now putting in for printers in the Northwest wert alike satisfactory to themselves and tin sheriff. He also spoke incidentally ot the press itself and we gathered that it was to be set up and fed with whit* paper, which would come out niceh printed with tariff editorials and origi nal clippings. We judged that either r Democratic or Republican press conic be ordered and that there was no extrt charge for an attachment to run in at original poem. Our first impulse was to seize a per and write out a check sufficiently able- bodied to cover the cost of recording the mortgage. Turning, we caught f reproachful glance from the dark, cast iron countenance of the old Washingtor hand press and desisted. Part of th< desist was caused by not being able tc call to mind the address of any bank which had ever put in sealed proposals for handling our checks. To turn the matter off we asked tlif man if he had a sample press with liim. He said he had not. Then we said that we did not believe that his house w oulc start him out on the road without one and that it was our opinion he had pawned it. We told him that we pro posed to report him and that we had ne further use for him. He seemed agi­ tated and after leaving a bill for some type we ordered of his firm last week he went out. One of the kind of presses lie sells doubtless has its advantages, especially for use in daily offices in the largei Slaces like New York. Still, in many ew York offices where the circulation is chiefly confined to the affidavit of the business manager, it would seem that the old hand press would not be entirely out of place. When the press peddlei had formally put on his injured look and jumped the office we turned to th< old hand press with a sigh of relief. After all, that style of press seems to give the greatest satisfaction. No ont can write intelligently of the power ol the press who lias not pulled it. It seems to have early in life ordered o large consignment of choice, springy power and to still have most of it or hand. It is all used in holding back. The man who said the press was tht greatest power in the world had pulled the Washington hand variety. Som< people may tliink that Washington should have kept right on crossing the Delaware and freezing to death at Valley Forge instead of stopping to in­ vent a balky printing press. The calm, dispassionate historian of the futura who is working by the day w ill have to decide this point. All this will go to explain why we still work off the paper on the station­ ary press wlieu we might have one which would be amply competent to get up on the editorial tripod and put its feet on the table. Some people may- prefer to have a press sitting around the office blowing about having more brains than the editor, but we do not long for it. Give us rather the simple society of the hand press which will not shy at the cars and was never known to kick its hind feet through the dashboard.--Estelline (Dak.) Bell.

There are 8*2 steam-ham­ mers iu the Krupp works, of from 400 pounds weight to 50 tons. The largest is "Fritz," whose 50 tons fall on an an­ vil aud an anvil-block weighing together 1,250 tons, these resting on a foundation 100 feet deep. The next in size is named j "Max." It would require a poet like I him who sang the "Song of the Bell" rightly to describe the action of "Fritz," and I do not wonder that the Emperor, on his v sit here, presented the worker of this hammer with a watch. I ob­ served "Fritz" for some time at work upon the steel stem of an Austrian iron-clad, the Ferdinand Max. The metal was from on a casting, without seam or weld, 45 feet long and of 25 tons weight Four men with long clamps managed this red-hot mass, swung over the anvil by a orane. They turned it readily this way and that, the foreman at each pause uttering a signal which "Fritz" understood; an­ swering with a soft tap, or a gin tie pressure or with an earthquake. 1 was curitjus to see the anvil-block which supplemented the ability of the earth to sustain such sho -ks through a length of time, and was presently shown one which, after twenty-one years of thump­ ing, had cracked straight through from top to bottom--possibly beneath some gentle stroke which was the last feather to break its huge back. Krupp does not make plates for iron-clad% but only such parts as might be needed for ordinary ships. Having lit our cigars on the Austrian iron-clad, we proceed to obseive the operations of "Max" and other ham­ mers. One of these I saw giving 300 tremendous strokes a minute. "Max" was engaged in welding "hard" iron (though this is more ductile than the other). To nice distinctions between iron and iron "Max" is indifferent; his big bow-legs arch above a tower of pieces built on his anvil, and with crushing blows of his mighty fist he makes a hundred plates one. How­ ever, though they seem one and act to­ gether, in the end it will prove that they are not one; no conceivable force can weld into one different organiza­ tions of atoms. To be thoroughly unit­ ed they must be filtered and refined in the crucible. 'Ihe central part of rail­ way wheels is made by welding, but the tires are made without welding. The nave of the wheel is wrought Iron, which is placed beneath a hammer of suitable shape, and at the third blow the wheel is shaped. The tire is cut from a long round mass of steel--(> or H from one casting--when it is called a "cheeseit is flattened, puoched in the center with an eight-inch die, strung on a horse-anvil, and there beaten un­ til it becomes a tire, and ready for the fluting process which adapts it to the rail.--Moncure D.

We came along to a cross-roads in Alabama where a colored Justice of the Peace was about to open court, and it was proposed that we halt for an hour or two and witness operations. The case to come on was between two colored men, one of whom charged the other with having stolen a hoe. There were neither lawyers nor jury, but the Judge called up the plaintiff and said: "Mr. Borrows, how many witnesses has you got dat Mr. Bunker stole dat hoe?" "Two, sah."

The famous sphinx of Gliizeh, near the great pyramids of Egypt, is likely to be completely unearthed before long. Excavations are in progress, and M. Kenan has interested himself in raising funds in France for that purpose. The sphinx is supposed to have been sculp­ tured before the time of Cheops, who built the first pyramid. The Egyptians called it Harmachu, "the setting suu," the god to whom it was dedicated. A small temple, long buried in the sand, has been found between the paws of the sphinx, and it is supposed that still larger buildings are to be found near it. The face of the sphinx measures 28| feet from forehead to chin. Denied ths Charge. Indignant Sacramentan--"I hear you have been slandering my wife." Accused Party--"You are mistaken, sir."

A new method for disposing of the human body after death has been pro­ posed by M. Kergovatz, a chemist of Brest. His system is an antiseptic one, stated to be much simpler and less ex­ pensive than the old process of em­ balming, and is nothing more than a new galvano-plastic application. The b$dy is coated with a conducting sub­ stance, such as plumbago, or is bathed with a solution of nitrate of silver, which, after decomposition under the influence of sunlight, leaves a finely divided deposit of metallic silver, ft is then placed in a bath of sulphate of oopper, and connected for electrolysis with several cells of a gravity or other battery of constant current The result is that the body is incased in a skin of copper, which prevents further change or chemical action. If desired, thii may again be plated with gold or sil­ ver, according to the tfcste or wealth of the friends of the dead. M. Kergovatz has employed the process eleven times on human subjects and on many ani­ mals, and states that in all cases it wis p^Mje^tly satiafactary. --Demorest^ A leading citizen of Hagerstowu, M(l., Mr. George W.
