He rushes to arms with the ardor of youth, ignorant, but eager and hopeful. His mind, tilled with visions of glory and stern resolve, ignores the weary march by day and night. He sees before him, or thinks he sees, a holi day campaign crowned with victory, and speedy march home to the sound of fpramphant music. Here, as in all other pursuits, the future is mercifully veiled with view, and the imagination is allowed to paint it in its own colors. Were it otherwise, could the unfledged .soldier feel in advance how heavy the knapsack would become, and how sore the feet, many would be loth to enlist. The march in the beginning, even by day on good roads, was hard work, but in the mud and rain, and in the night, it was toilsome in the extreme. The want of sleep, together with the frequent halts from the blockading of the road in front, threw men into incessant "cat-naps," from which they incessantly wakened to "move on." Night, under these circum stances, lengthened out interminably, and life towards morning becomes almost unendurable; and when at last day broke it disclosed many and many a straggler far behind the column, stretched out by the roadside sound asleep. When these nocturnal movements occurred in winter, detachments of the sick poured into the hospitals from every quarter until they overflowed. They were as disastrous to the column as a battle. The march, too, under a hot August sun, kept up from its rising to its setting, and often pro longed into the night, amid clouds of sifting dust and torturing thirst, must be experienced to be understood. The un imitated think the greatest danger the soldier is exposed to is on the battle-field. On the contrary it is the least. This popu lar misapprehension is causedby the con solidated report sent out after an action of the thousands shot down in a day; but the decimation from exposure and dis ease that slowly swells into tens of thou sands pass without notice. But we, who have closed our shrunk ranks as our comrades dropped out by the wayside know it, our surgeons' reports attest it. Ine battlefield as a test of endurance is overrated. The fatigue is not experi enced until after the fight is over, and comes chiefly not from the battle itself, but from the toilsome and broken marches that precede it. If troops could be brought into fresh action and rested, after a good breakfast, we might concentrate our attention on the battle. But, in point of fact, they are not so brought on. The supply trains have often been left far in the rear, and haver sacks are nearly empty, and the night before has been in part consumed in get ting the troops m place. The excitement of battle supplies for the time the want of food and rest, so that the actual dis comfort largely precedes the fight. The opening of the battle with artillery at low range and the bursting of shell is rather dramatic and dangerous. Cannon balls and fragments of shell, when they strike, do execution, but they compara tively seldom hit t'e mark. They are chiefly effective in disturbing the nerve of advancing columns by their sound and fury and occasionally ghastly work. The artillery does its real work at closer range, with grape and canister; and when the action extends into the night the bursting of a shower of shells at short range lends to the scene a peculiarly wicked and vindicative spirit. The first heavy loss in battle falls upon the skirmish line, which, however, it may protect itself by intervening objects, is necessarily constantly exposed in advanc ing to a steady fire at rest. The advance of the skirmishers is a beautiful and brave sight. It would be painful to see them go down, had one at such a moment to indulge in sympathetic feeling. I re member nothing more touching than the narrative of a brother officer of the sight as he beheld it, of a line of skirmishers of the Irish legion at Mission Bidge per fectly alligned, at regular intervals, with an officer in rear of the center, sword in hand all killed. They moved into the jaws of death in perfect order, and offer ed, as they lay on the field in the cold gray of that November twilight, a tribute to discipline and manhood such as the world has seldom equalled. When troops come to close quarters and the battle begins in earnest, no one can see much more than what occurs in his immediate front. He can hear in the pauses of the action before him the roar of musketry to his right and left, rolling far off until it seems like distant thunder, broken by peals of artillery that alike grow fainter as they recede; he can see, too, at times, advancing lines of infantry, with batteries unlimbered in the rear, hurling overhead at the enemy a tempest of shell to disturb and distract him; he can see the artillery suddenly cease fire, limber up and gallop after their infantry, take a near position, and in a thrice un limber and thunder away again. He can see the infantry reach a stone wall, and halt and open fire from the shelter; or,if no impediment be in the way, he will see them sweep on the charge and close with the adversary. Soon, however, the fire reopens on his own front, and he sees no more of the battle on his right or left; his faculties are absorbed in the combat before him. The wounded, when in reach, are carried to the rear as they fall, or to convenient sheltered spots, in the field, where the surgeon 'awaits them, knife in hand. Many dis abled men receive their death as they are carried off. and where they lie be tween two fires and cannot be promptly reached, often die for want of attention.. It is doubtless a trying position for one to lie for hours, wounded and helpless, on a field swept by an enemy's fire ; but to lie on debatable ground, as many a poor fellow has done, and see the dust puffs raised about him by bullets from friends and foes, and listen to the hiss of crossing missies, is perhaps the crowning horror of war. The day after the night, if the enemy is not pursued, is passed in burying the dead, in getting up trains from the rear, and in much needed rest. Lost comrades, if the action has taken place in the sum mer, and over a day has elapsed before their recovery, are often found past recognition save in their appared, and the thinned ranks of the survivors pre sent a forlorn and doleful appearance. New food for powder pours in from the recruiting depots to fill the places of those who are dead. Dead animals fills the atmosphere with nauscious vapors, and the troops are moved out of the tainted air and camped on fresh ground. Relatives appear to look after the wound ed and to recover the remains of the dead, and while the events are fresh, obtain a detailed account of their gallant deeds and untimely fall into treasure in family tradition. Gen. Thomas Ewino A Horrible Confession. Salvador, the Indian murderer of Paul Rieger, who is to be hanged at San Rafael on the 2d proximo, has made a confession horrible in its details. His first crime of note was the stabbing to death of his brother Cruz, at Nicasio, in 1860, during a quarrel. The next mur der committed was that of an Indian named Jose, who, Salvador says, threat ened to kill him. He found this victim on Paper Mill creek, and stabbed him to death. This murder was never unraveled until Salvador confessed it. In 1866 Salvador killed an Indian called Whisky Bill, at Bodega. This occured in an at tack made by Bill and some other In dians upon his brother. In this case he -was acquitted on the ground of self- defense. In the same year he was arrest ed for the murder of a Mr. McCune, on Tomales bay. His brother-in-law, Jose De Lazantos, and his own brother assist ed him to evade arrest, and during the fight De Lazantos was killed by the officers, and his brother received wounds of which he died soon alter. balvador was shot seven times and at length ar rested. He was sent to the penitentiary for five years and ten months for, the murder of McCune, which affair he now denies being implicated in. Shortly after his release he killed an unknown Indian with a knife in a quarrel in Sanel valley. This crime until his confession was also a mystery. Last year Salvador and a companion kicked a Chinaman to death on the JN. Jr. C. rt. K., whom, he alleges, assaulted a squaw named Big Mary. this is "the Squaw that led Salvador's pursuers off the scent after the murder of Rieger enabling him to escape to San Jose. Salvador s sister once swore out a war rant at Nicasio for Salvador's arrest for threats to kill her. The murder of Paul Rieger occurred while Salvador was seek ing protection from rain under a tree. Reiger came in sight without seeing him, and he shot him dead. After this crime he remained in Marin county for several days, but becoming alarmed he left for San Jose via Saucelito and Oakland. From Oakland he walked to San Jose. Here he stayed with Jose Salazar for three days, when he returned to Marin county via Petaluma on foot. On the 12th of May, after leaving Peta luma, he, from a high hill, saw Sheriff Tunstead and posse, who were searching for him. He then went to Sebastopol, near which place he was arrested in a drunken condition. He has given up all hope of a reprieve, and appears indiffer ent to his approaching fate. , An Indian's .Stoicism. Tomatoes as a Food. From a London (Canada) paper we copy the following account of the flog ging of an Indian with the cat-o -nine- tails; Doxtater was brought out. He is a muscular, heavy-set Indian, and had a laugh on his face. His back was bared, his wrists were strajped to the upper paste of the arm of the triangle, and his knees and ankles to the lower part,J throwing his back out. The only sign of nervousness manifested was a quick look at the cat-o'-nine-tails which was in the hand of a stout expert, who had been a drummer in the Twenty-third British regulars. The cat had a short handle and nine thongs of hard, heavy cord a yard long, with nine knots in each. At the command of the Sheriff the cat was flourished around the whipper's head with a quick jerk, whistled through the air and fell with a sharp thud over the leit siioui- der-blade, making large blue marks. At the third the flesh was cut open, but the prisoner s muscles never quivered, though, of sixty spectators, fully half of, them sickened and turned away. Twenty-five lashes given with all the power of a strong man in one place, caused the flesh to creep up in purple welts, which were cut transversely into small squares, out of which the blood trickled. But few of the crowd could look at it throughout. The Indian never flinched, and after the last blow, which was given with extra vigor, the Sheriff cried out "enough," and Doxtater laughed and said: "Bully for Injun." When he was released, the porter ask ed him how he felt. He answered, "Feel him back very much." The Indian ask ed the whipper for a "chaw baccer," and grabbed a pipe out of the turnkey's mouth and went to smoke, but it was taken from him. The wounds were washed with salt and water to prevent inflamation, and that made Josiah wince worse than the flogging. Removing Obstinate Glass Stoppers. The obstinate sticking of glass stop pers in bottles is a constant source of trouble, not to say profanity, in the lab ratory, and many methods of loosening them have been suggested. These are all useful, though each of them fails in certain cases and another has to be tried. The following, given in the English Me chanic, will be likely to answer the pur pose when the shape of the stopper and the neck of the bottle admits of its use: "Take two pieces of wood, put them be tween the neck of the bottle and the lower part of the stopper. Having fixed them securely by a piece of string, soak the whole affair in water, say ten hours; if the wood has not swelled enough, then pour some hot water over the wood, and as it swells (which it must) out comes the stopper. Tomatoes contain neither cancers nor cancer producing matter. Cancers are composed of animal matter; not vege table, and therefore cannot be directly derived from the vegetable kingdom. Tomatoes are not without some defects as an article of food. They are not, like milk, a perfect diet of themselves, and besides, like most other articles of food, they contain some obnoxious qualities. But they need not be thrown aside on that account. Nature has provided us with such sufficient excretory organs that obnoxious matter in our food, if in mod erate amount, is readily cast out, and the body is protected against any material injury. Were it not so, we should be obliged to throw out of our dietary many kinds of food now eaten, not only with impunity but with advantage. Thus, red cabbage, cherries and peaches con tain prussic acid, which is a deadly poison when taken in sufficient quantity. The very small amount of the poisoning acid these vegetables contain is cast out of the system without any material injury to the person using tbem. A positive good may actually be derived from the use of food containing some such foreign matter, by way of giving increased activity and strength to the excretory organs is necessary to protect us against the pernicious effects which might other wise occur. Almost every kind of grain and fruit in use contain more or less things, which in a larger amount would prove hurtful. Unless we closely study our food, we are taking them when we little suspect it. A Frenchman, not many years ago, discovered a substance in wheat bran, under which the high heat used in baking, dissolved out and spread over the crumbs of bread, of which bran forms a part, and discolored it, and hence the brown stain peculiar to graham bread. But from this discovery such bread has not been rejected, but continues to be accounted among the most wholesome kinds of food. Rye is seldom used with out containing more or less ergot, but rye bread is reckoned among the most healthful. Tea contains tannic acid, apples contain mallic acid, lemon and oranges citric acid, no one of which is used either in nutrition or respiration, but they only become objectionable when usea excessively. Tomatoes, in common with most other fruits, contain more poisonous matter. They and the egg-plant, Jerusalem cherry, bitter-sweet, deadly nightshade and the common potato plant, all belong to the same genus solanum the fruit of every species of which is more or less poisonous, but none of them very much so. The fruit of the deadly nightshade and of the potato (potato balls) are prob ably the most poisonous. But even these are not very hurtful. The smaller amount contained in tomatoes allows of their being classed with the esculent fruits, but there is nevertheless enough to give them a peculiar flavor not apt to be relished by unaccustomed palates, but which use soon renders agreeable. Used very largely, tomatoes would doubtless develop specific results pecu liar to the fruit of the genus to which they belong, especially when feeble per sons and those who, from their peculiar constitutions, are susceptible to such in fluences. But when moderately used by persons in fair health there is no reason for rejecting them than there would be in ejecting lettuce for the opium it con tains. Pie-plant stands in similar relations. Its prominent characteristics are the re sult of oxalic acid, which is a powerful poison. For persons not having suffi cient vigor to dispose of such a strong acid, and for those in whose systems there is already an excess of acid, such highly acid food would be objectionable. But its moderate use by people in com mon health is more objectionable than any other acids in daily use and regard ed as healthful. L. li. Arnold in New Ydrk Tribune. Ranges of Temperature in Health. The standard temperature of the healthy body is 98.5, and is subject to a slight variation during the day of about 0.820. The maximum temperature is in the early morning; it fluctuates and gradually decreases during the day, and is lowest at midnight. The observations of Drs. Edwards and Davy have shown that the amount of mimal heat may be considerably altered by a number of collateral circumstances. The great distinction bet'veen these alterations of temperature in health, and those which are the result of disease is, that these variations are generally tem porary and within narrow limits, amount ing to mere fractious of a degree, rarely more than 1.8 to 3.0, whereas those which are due to disease are persistent so long as the disease exists. The following are the collateral circum stances which mainly influence animal heat in our daily life, and which require to be remembered in order that erroneous conclusions may not be drawn : First. Active exercise, not carried to exhausting fatigue, raises the temperature in proportion to the degree of muscular exertion made. Second. Exposure to cold without exercise lowers the temperature. Third. Long continued mental exer tion reduces the temperature about half a degree. Fourth. The amount of heat is also reduced by a full meal and the use of alcohol, biit it rises again as, digestion advances. Fifth. There are diurnal fluctuations capable of being thus determined. Sixth. The temperature of the body rises with the temperature of the air, and sudden transitions from a cold to a hot climate induces a feverish state, mprked by increase of temperature on bodily ex ertion. Seventh. The average temperature within the tropics is nearly 1 higher than in the temperate regions. Eighth. The temperature is more readily and rapidly affected than either fie pulse or the respiration; this is es pecially the case in disease.

I think our Southern girls are too often undeservedly taken to task for their indolence and want of ingenu ity in devising means of securing a livelihood when the old folks are no longer able to assist tbem and a hus band does not come forward to res cue the unhappy girl from old maid enhood. I have just heard of an exception to this rule, at any rate. The spunky girl in question is from one of the upper counties of this State. At an early age she was left a penniless orphan. She managed, however, by dint of economy and assistance, probably of some of her distant relatives, to obtain an educa tion hoping, when she had com pleted her studies, to secure a school and earn her bread in that way. But, like mauy another, when her school days weie ended this young girl found that the avocation she had marked out for herselt was also the choice of thousands of others, who, like herself, were striving to win their bread in that way. After vainly endeavoring for several months to obtain a school, the young lady gave up the idea in utter dis gust and determined to find other employment. Her attention was next turned to that precarious and often arduous life of a saleswoman. But being without experience she again found it difficult, in fact impos sible to secure a position. It was then that some trifling occurrence decided her to adopt her present, it may bo considered unwomanly, trade which is that of a shoe maker. The girl came here; sought and found a house where she was taught the trade. She served an ap prenticeship of four years, and it is said can now turn out as good a shoe as any man in the business who has not had more experience. She now has a moans of earning a living with out being dependent upon the whims of exacting parents and spoiled chil dren. The lady is now thinking of starting a shoe manufacturing busi ness of her own account, and if she could find a suitable one, she might be induced to accept a suitable male partner, provided he would agree not to make love to her and offer to dis solve the mercantile partnership and go into a domestic one. In which.- case if the home life did not go on smoothly, and the husband was troublesome, she might make a last ing impression on him. The brave girl is now probably about twenty five years old, and from her tender physique one would hardly guess that she would have chosen the ardu ous mode of making a living that she has. There was, however, but little choice in the matter, she had to earn a support for herself, and probably others dependent on her efforts, and she has fitted herself for the task, and she deserves the praise of all good people. Petersburg (Fa.) Ap peal Letter. The Fanner's Joke. Tramp ! tramp ! tramp ! and a farmer with solid old-fashioned feet, and hands big enough to cover a Sunday School excur sion, came into the editorial rooms of this paper to say: "Howdy! I've walked down from the market to give ye the partickelers of a good joke." "All right, proceed." "You know them lightning-rod felers?" observed the old man as he dropped into a chair. "Yes heard of them." "Well, yon know they're a purty tuff set. Been after me for mor'n twenty years. I've got signs out all along the road warning 'em to keep off the place, but t'other day one of the chaps driv right up to the gate, big as life." "Did, eh?" "Yes, he did, and 'fore I could get my tongue to going he had abont a thousand feet of rod out of the wagon and was ready to put it on the barn." "What cheek!" "I guess 'twas, but purty soon I went for him. I had my mind made up to kil him right there. The old woman came out and sailed in with me, and the two hired men supported me on the flanks." ' And you jammed him all to pieces, of course?" "That's where the hull fun comes in," answered the old man. "That 'ere fel ler squared off, shed his coat, and licked the whole four of us in less'n two minutes bv a wig-wag clock!" '"Did, eh?" "You bet he did, and he drnnk up a hull pan of milk and drove off whistling 'Yankee Doodle Duin.' When I got out o' the cat-nip whar' he piled me and saw one o' the men with his nose mashed flat, the 'tother with three teeth knocked out from under the bob-sled, I begun laffing and didn't stop till midnight!
