An Irish paper, the Munster N. ws,
fives an account of a curious mIiy/ - <.■/<«**
that has been discovered in the ruins of
q«m Abbey, county Clare, by a herds
map of the neighhorho-id, w tide making
some casual researches among the old
stupes that had fa leu from the wails.
Tins IS supp -s d to have been a pectoral
Cross of a mitered Abbot of the Francis
can order, of whom the Abbey, one of the
otdd-t in Ireland, belonged. It i. of sil
ver, gilt, perfectly so.nl, elaborately
wrought for its sir.e, and hears a figure of
theSaviour. It is said to he of fourteenth
century workmanship.
G/o. \V. Ualxis, a New Fork fireman,
has received a patent for a tight titling
mask to tit the face of the fiictn.-n when
to dangerous places, from air tidies hang
ing nearly to the feet. The air below is
always comparatively harmless. The
tubes reach to very near the Hour, and
are passed over the shoulders and secur
ed to the body nod legs by straps. A
person thus equipped for entering an
apartment tilled with smoke, may inspire
through the tubes, taking til air from
the lowest stratum in the room, and ex
pire through the opening at the mouth.
Aw unknown species of duck has been
discovered in the Mnmwatu river, in
New Zealand. In si/.e it i, equal to a
full-grown turkey, and its w in.-s are long
and powerful. The ground color is a
variable ash grey, beautifully marked and
spotted with white. The hill is small,
broad, almost Vermillion, and lias a lleshy
membrane. When disturbed it has a
loud note, between a qua -k and a scream.
MwTEtttM, or the Herrin Attar.—From
a recent official report the following facts
are gathered : Scotland is found to fur
nish the tallest and Ireland the shortest
men ; one of the strongest illustrations
being that Irishmen unde 5 feet 5 inches
were to be found one-lourth more numer
ous than Englishmen or Scotchmen. For
merly, Ireland furnished the largest pro
portion of the army. Now, it is England,
the ratio per thousand being in England
56t», In Ireland 821, in Scotland 107. —
Scotland gives the most readers, Ireland
the fewest, England indemnifying herself
by giving the largest number of recruits
able to write. Thu rejection of English
men is found to be chiefly for w eakness
.of the chest, of Scotchmen for had teeth,
and Irishmen for weak eyes; and it seems
that professional men, as students and ar
tists, with shopmen and clerks, are more
eligible by physical qualifications, than
either servants, husbandmen or mechan
ics. ,
« to
Abolition Villainy.— We clip the fol
lowing from the Bulletin's Eastern cor
respondence :
At a meeting of the New York Histori
cal Society, held on 2d December, Mr.
Moore, the Librarian, called attention to
the destruction or scattering of valuable
memorials of the country, as our army
advanced in Virginia, lie had an impor
tant statement to make, which he knew
would provoke the indignation of all pres
ent as it did his own. He had been in
formed from a reliable source, that the
original will of Gen. Washington, which
had been deposited at Fairfax Court
House, had been taken away, and had
been sold to the British Museum, thus de
priving the nation of one of the most val
uable relics of its great founder. He
urged that the Government should take
measures to guard and preserve such me
morials in the future.
Provost Marshals and their Func
tions. —The following definition of a pro-
Tost marshal ia taken from an English
work of acknowledged authority, “Camp
bell's Dictionary of Military Science.”
As this officer is not known to our laws,
or mentioned in our rules and articles o(
war, but borrowed from the .English mil
itary service, it is as well that the public
should be made acquainted with the
powers and duties of that officer in the
service where he U tervUv v**«gm*ed.
A comparison of thA powers ai:(f duties
mentioned with those claimed and exer
cised' in our country, at the present time,
by the so-called “provost marshals,”
may suggest some not unprofitable re
flections:
Proto&t Marthal. —An officer appoint
ed in every army to secure prisoners
confined on charges of a general nature,
to preserve good order and discipline, to
use every possible means of preventing
crime, by frequently visiting those places
of » ns} g/ i
are likely to tie committed. "*ItS lakes
cognizance of all followers and retainers
of the camp, as well as of the soldiers of
the army. The provost marshal is
entrusted with authority to inflict
summary punishment on any soldier
or individual connected with the army
whom he may detect in the actual com
mission of nny offense against order and
discipline ; but a recourse to the exercise
of this part of his authority must be lim
ited to the necessity of the case, where
the prevalence and frequent commission
of any particular offense may call for an
h/ffliedfhttf exuhlptt.
Whatever may be the crime, the pro
vost marshal must see the offender com
mit the act for which summary punish
ment may be inflicted ; or if the provost
marshal or his as-istants should not see
the offender actually commit the crime,
hut that sufficient proof of his guilt can
be established, a report must be made to
the g -neial officer commanding.
Officers who impede the provost mar
shal, or any other officers legally exercis
ing authority, or refuse to assist him
when requiring their aid in the execution
of his duty, are liable to be cashiered.
A soldier guilty of this offense is liable to
punishment by the sentence of a general
court martial.
By the articles of war, no provost mar
shal or officer commanding a guard can
refuse to leceive and detain any prisoner
committed to his charge by any officer or
non commi-sioned officer of bis majesty’s
forces, who must, however, at the same
time deliver a written charge against the
prisoner, signed himself —[From Camp
bell's iiictionary of Military Science, pub
lished in 1S2J.
A III:ad Patriot Unjustly Censured.
-The St. L, mis of the
Bulletin writes as follows :
The President and his military advis
ers at Washington not long ago got into
a spasm of vigor and military reform, and
determined to dismiss about 10,tXI0 offi
cers w ho were duokards, incompetents,
or absent (rom their regiments without
leave. They commenced a few days ago,
ami struck from the army rolls about 100,
and caused their names to be published.
As usual, the Department showed itself
to be as prone to censure wrongly,
as as it has been to promote wrongly.—
Among the list of those thus disgraceful
ly discharged Irom service is Capt.
Thompson, of the 22J Massachusetts reg
iment, who is put down, I believe, as re
maining away from his regiment without
have. He was, on the contrary, mortal
ly wounded at the battle of Malvern Hill,
« bile lighting bravely, and died in hos
pital on the 4th of August following.
Errors equally as flagrant regarding other
officers may be discovered by and-by.

The following is running the round of
the Paris papers :
In Brittany there lately lived an old
nobleman in absolutu retirement, with
one man servant almost as old as himself.
This recluse, who died in June last, was
an enthusiastic archaelogist, and lor a
long time had been tilling bis chateau
with artistic treasure of old times. His
heirs expecting to find owls and bats, dis
covered a remarkable museum. There
w ere .-.aid to be no less than 7,000 paint
ings, bearing good names ; a good collec
tion of arms;anifa clock of the time of
Louis XIII. There were also found
thirty pieces of earthenware known as
that of Henry II, and of which the few
specimens remaining have been purchas
ed for their weight in g Id. These arti
cles, known as the service of Henry II,
are the ne plus ultra of ccratnbic art

Length ofoi-k Expenses. —It requires
fmr millions per day to carry on our ex
penses. Four million dollar bills placed
lengthwise will extend four hundred and
forty-one miles. In fifty-four days they
would extend round the globe, ’in one
year they would form a belt of dollar
bills about twenty inches wide, which
would extend round the entire globe of
23,000 miles. It would require a rail
road train to run twelve hours per day
and at a rate of thirty-six per hour, to
keep up with the line of one dollar bills
issued daily to meet the expenses of the
war.

The Crops in Iowa.— The yield of
wheat in Iowa, is estimated at 20,000,000
bushels this year, being 1,750,000 bush
els more than the crop of 1861. There
have been 1,325,000 acres cultivated this
season in corn, which will yield 76,250,-
000 bushels, or an excess over the crop
of last year of 16,000,000 bushels. Oats
will reach 10,000,000 bushels; hav 1,000,-
000 tons; sorghum, 3,000,000’gallons,
and potatoes, double last year’s quantity.
The State will be able ’to export this
year 175,000 cattle and 900,000 hogs.
The increase of sheep has been about one
third during the past year, making the
number in the State 250,000.
Methodist Missions—Large Appro
priations.—The general missionary com
mittees of the Methodist Episcopal
Church has just closed its sessions in
New York, after making appropriations
for foreign missions to the extent of
$131,082. The sum of §128,450 was ap
propriated to domestic missions, which,
with $33,000 for current expenses, and
$7,518 towards extinguishing the debt,
makes a grand total of §800,000 appro
priated for 1868. The appropriation
made last year w(^95,147.

Id your last It iu mid that It required hero
ism to be an Old Bachelor. Hoer much more,
than, to ha aa Old Maid! Ibr the softer sex are
taught from their earHect jean that matrimo
ny, alone, ia their deatlaj. Ia ear treat, aad
at all hazards, they must marry. It it thought
a social stigma to he an Old Maid.
Society says, “better become a wretched
wife, an unnatural mother, a thousand times,
than remain nnaiarhed.”
Woman, ia what concerns her welfare most,
has no power of election. Those whom she
might lore pees by her, and she cannot bid
them pause, though they bear her capacity for
beppinese away. She must tarry uatil she is
chosen : she must not speak until she ii ques
tioned : she mast hide her beauteous blushes:
she mast repress the eboHtttons of her heart.
Those who would hare cherished her, know
her not end gueae not her yearning. Those
whom she could nut approve nor esteem, much
leas Ion, com# la bar aad woo her far a bride ;
and when she is aaBcienlly heroic, she refuses
her baud where her heart rebels. She prefers
to be an Old Maid rather than an naloring
wife. The feet of her unweddednesa is the
strongest proof that her reason nr her affection
forbade the state. For no wall can shut out,
no nalucr repel, ar.-ri——---.t-ce fee rent some
peUtion of marriage.
This term of “ Old Maid" should be an honor
—. .. ——w>c incdv
bly superior to unloving sod unloved wires;
more interesting, more honorable, more beau
tiful. They are, to their sex, as diamonds to
the earth, uot manv but precious. They are
not devoted to one life, one cause; but many.
Their souls are elevated ; their miads expand
ed-, tVsvtr hearts purified. They compensate
for all the foibles, lollies and fatuities of Terra's
otber daughters.
Gold and jewels may not be theirs; but the
wealth of the Orient is m their hearts, snd iu
their snola the treasures of the Incas. Beside
them glide the Graces of the soul and the
Muses of the mind dwell io their being. Old
Maids,—glorious creatures! What a pity that
tbis planet is not blessed with more of them!

Chief Engineer’s Salary—The Vet*.
Mkhsrs. Editors: In common with other
members of the Eire Department, I was more
tiiso astonished when I read the message of
the President of the City Council, in returning
the Ordinance creating "a salary to the Chief
Engineer unapproved tu the Council. Of course
I already knew of the veto, but of the extraor
dinary reasons held for the act I was in bliss
ful ignorance until 1 read tbe remarkably fair
reasoning, truth-premising and unprejudiced
document in question.
The Hon. President starts out by comparison,
and whether it bears any real virtue is not my
Kurpose, iu this communication, to discuss;
ul, in making it, be, by implication if not by
other means, does an injustice to the officer
who, in his clear-sighted and economical opin
ion, should render his services to tbe City for
tbe “honor of the thing.” Iu tbe very begin
ning of the message, he insinuates, if be does
nut tell us in plain English, that tbe duties
of the Chief Engiueer are nut “ both responsible
and arduous.” Now, any impartial man, wbu
has given tbe subject tbe least thought, will
prouuuoce the assertion of tbe Hoo. President
the merest balderdash, for it is well koown that
the dutiea that officer is required by the various
City Ordinances sod tbe laws of the Depart
ment to perform, are “ both responsible and
arduona’ 1 to a degree which rentiers it hardly
just or fair tu expect him to perform them for
nothing.
Iu aiHiiber portion of this eingulardocument,
—and 1 do not intend to criticise it as s Oocu
m.-nt, for it falls beneath criticism—the Hon.
President makes an insinuation as brood as it
is false and injuriuua alike to the feelings and
character of tbe members of tbe Department,
as such, and as men. I have reference to that
jporinio where tbe Hon. President intimates
"iraud-where he says: " And it now becomes
our duty, as sworn officers of the City, to tee
that she is not defrauded.” W betber the au
thor meant or even knew what be said when he
penned those words, the facts in tbe case give
food reason to doubt. Where was the fraud?
I Iraud there were, why did not the Hon. Pres
ident give us soma clue by which we could ar
rive at it aud see whether it had foundation in
fact * We, as firemen, tnnst be content to rest
under tbs imputation of attempting to defraud
the City, simply because tbe bead uf its gov
ernment disdains to reduce tbe charge to plain
terms and allow ua a defense. The lliard of
Delegates—ail honorable and well-known man,
wbu are tax-pavers and tern the interests of
the City at heart probably as much as the Hon.
President—certainly thought no fraud iu the
mailer wbm they passed resolutions in favor
of the Ordinance", prior 4o its veto, by a vote of
nine to one. They passed such resolutions;
sre they guilty of complicity in sn attempt to
defraud tbe City ? Were a majority of the
Council parties to the fraud when three out of
five voted to pass the Ordinance over the reto?
Tbe message says a “ majority of the mem
bers of the Eire Department did not anticipate
the proposed" salary. This is wide of tbe
truth, as the author of tbe message must bare
known: fur the “ proposed change” bad been
agitated and discussed by tbe members of the
Department, and had also been presented to
the City Couucil several weeks prior 10 tbe
election. Does tbe Hon. President forget that
the members of tbe Council were requested to
meet sod net upon the matter, several weeks
before tbe election ? They were asked to do so
—they declined, and yet their bead complains
uf suap jodgineut.
It is all very well tor the Uon. President to
bring to bis assistance tbe popular cry of
“ Railroad,” but any observer will perceive
that it is used to prejudice tbe people against
the measure by creating an unfair inference.
The conueciioo baa nu solid foundation as
must be discovered. Would tbe pavmeut of a
salary to the Chief Engineer entirely squelch
tbe liailrosd? The Hun. President seems to
think so.
U»w wss tbe information obtained that a
majority of the Department was opposed to tbe
salary? Certainly not by cooversing with
them, because all, with but three exceptions,
with whom 1 have talked over tbe matter, are
in favor of it. Certainly not through the Board
o! Delegates—the representative bead of the
Department, and supposed to reflect its will
—lor they favored it by strong resolutions trans
mitted to the Council. I say transmitted, but
1 must correct myself. One of the resolutions
instructed the Secretary of the Board tu send
to tbe President and Common Council a copy
of the whole under ihe seul of tbe Department.
Tbe copy was duly made out by tbe Secretary
and on account ot some business engagement
be wss prevented from delivering them him
self, hut asked a friend to do so for him. Tbe
resolutions were delivered to the Hon. Presi
dent in person, with the request that he would
6 reset!: them to the aaaeuibled Council. Tbe
Iud. President “ pocketed” them, and tbe
Council waa kept in ignorance of their exist
ence. I have no comment to make upon this
action of the Hon. President.
The Hon. P.-esident argues that because
there was but one candidate and so few votes
polled, s majority of the Department was op
posed to a salary. The argument is boome
rang-like, and is a weapon used by tbe Hon.
President which tends to bis own destruction.
It was under the supposition that a salary
would be accurded the office that Ihe candidate
was iaduced to ruD. He bad faitbtully and to
tbe satisfaction of all—as bis re-nominstion
and indorsement by three companies of the
Department prove—served in the offices for
ooe year. E'or this be received no compensa
tion. By no opposition being urged, we find
the best evidence that the Department was
willing sod anxious that tbe incumbent should
receive the benefit of the salary which they
supposed would be attached to tbe office.—
There are other points in this connection that
should be noticed, but I have already occupied
so much of yonr space that, for fear of tiring
your readers, I will not raise them. I hope
tbe Council will take the matter again under
consideration, and do justice—all the Depart
ment asks—to one of the moat important offices
held under tbe City government.
