Enc urnge home industry by furnishing employment whenever it is in your power, to home mechanics, is good advice at all times, and worthy to be followed. J ust L ikk a W aitkr .—The Grand Journal, tells a little characteristic story which may bo thus Anglicis ed : i A gentleman going into a shop house the other day found the room very close and hot. He called the waiter and said : "Haven't you any ventilators?" The reply was, "'No, sir, they are al! gone. I just served up the last." T he "D esirable" P ew .—A pew in a Congregational meeting house is thus advertised for sale iu the Amherst (Mass.) Express. A pew in the meeting-house of the first parish of Amherst. The man who owns the pew owns the right of a spaee ju4 as long as the pew is, from the bottom of the meeting-house to the top or roof, and he can go as much higher as lie can get. If a man will buy my pew and sit in it on Sundays and repent and be a good man, he will go to heaven, and my pew is as good a place to start from as any pew in the meeting house. Stag* A ferocious elephant has been commiting fiightful ravages in a north western proviuoe of IliiHlostan. He was taken for a marriage procession, but suddenly became wild and pulled down a number of huts and trees. The next day he became wilder still, and one of the mahoots in attoir pting to Chain his legs was se'zjd by the trunk and trampled underfoot, the elephant feeepii.g the corpse of the man under his feet for two successive days, actu ally grinding it to dust. That very day he struck down a Brahmin and smashed his head ; two other men were seriously injured, and most of the inhabitants of Kotu'pore have, it is said, runaway from the village for fear ol the biute. gW A gentleman who was pres ent ut a dinner given to Grant by several Congressmen, Bays, that (lie General spuke but ono word during the whole dinner. I üb en gineer, in giving an account of a passage of a river, spoke of it as thirteen feet wide. Genera! Grant lifted his linger, and said, "Four teen." Mrs. Siirult was no* the first woman hung in this country. A woman was hung on Boston Common about seventy years ago. Her crime was snatching a bonnet and reticule from a lady. She was indicted for highway robbery, was convicted and suffered the extreme penalty of the law. Be sides a number of women were bung as witches long bo Cure tli#t À Raey Budget from Prentice. The Louisville Journal lets off the following : There was a shower of a, thousand frogs at Wilbraham recently.— Mem phi* Bulletin. We would think from the nightly noises here, that we had had a shower of ten thousand dogs—rained out of the dog star. Hundreds of salmon-smelt have been found dead in the river Tyne, close to a large iron-works.— Cincin nati Times. Thousands of salmon, very strongly smelt, have been found in our rnar kets. The editor of the Chicago Times says that the African "inundates" him. The African is a very ill mannered fellow, we must say. This is the last of the many outrages we have heard of his committing. A soldier who has served three years in the army felt from a cherry tree at New Britain, and broke his neck.— Exchange. We wonder if any one could sup pose that three years' service in the army would make a man's neck any stronger than it waB before he en tered the service. A Cincinnati paper is abusing Gen Sherman. Should we not send to the great chieftain a committee of condolence? It is said that Louis Napoleon and Maximillian do not cherish a proper admiration for the memory of Mr. Monroe. A small boy in Philadelphia broke his arm by stumbling over a girl. Let big boys be warned lest in at attempting the same feat they break their hearts. A New York paper says that many seem to be of opinion, that, unless we go on hanging now that we have stopped shooting, the dignity of the country will suffer. The Radicals demand of the Presi det to impose unrestricted negro suf frage upon the Southern States. Why not upon the Northern States «swell? What power has the Presi dent over negro suffrage in the South that he has not anywhere elsoï If the President has the power, ae the Radicals allege, to settle the ques tion of negro suffrage in the South, has he not tho power so say that the negroes 6hall not vote ? Mr. Tilton, the radical of the New York Independent,, invokes the inter position of Providence to defeat Presi dent Johnson's opposition to negro suffrage. Well Tilton, tilt on. Since Wm. L. Sharkey is Provis ional Governor of Mississippi, let the ravening sharks of that State be ware. Sharkey is death on sharks. We knew him to catch three before breakfast at Biloxi in 1846. If some of our Generals have ren dered as much service to the country as they pretend, it must have been secret service"—so secret as to be proof against discovery. Let the Government pursue a just and liberal course toward the South, and the aurora austrealis will soon glow and Hash beautifully in the Southern sky. The words of the poet, Halleck, None know thee but to lov # thee , None name thee but to praise , can't well be applied to the poet's namesake. The Utica Herald pointedly says that the "pacific" department is just the right place for Halleck. An Indiana editor says that he "acquits" us of any unpatriotic de signs. It is not in his power to "acquit" or convict us. We are not on trial before any such tribunal as he. A dog iu Danbury, Conn., was struck by lightning h few days ago, one-half of him paralyzed, and the whole left as barkless as a peeled log The friends of Kirby Smith boast that he was the last rebel General to capitulate. That's only because he was furthest off', and so the hardest to get at. We would thank some of the offi cers and soldiers who have become citizens to tell us which they found the mori agreeable—being mustered for battle, or mustered out of service. Good feeling is a thing worth cul tivating at this time, but it will, if we only attend to our own proper affairs, grow up and flourish and blossom and bear fruit without culti vating. Among those who have died of sun-stroke are several soldiers. They could stand the fire of the rebels, but not the blaze of the sun. . ^ Progressive. Let your soul, like old John Brown's, march on— but not in the same direction. I hb I ig er . Last week General Giant issued an order for his subordi nates to break up all the faro bauks m ;, h ® United States. T he General wm ana the Tiger more tenacious of life than the Fire eater. There is not a nation on earth so insane as not to desire to be at peace with us. And God knows %e have had war enough to satisfy any ra tional people lor at least half a cen tury. The hurricane of war has passed. The winds are still. The lightning and thunder are past. But, alas ! the myriads of goodly trees swept down by the storm can never more lift their heads toward the beautiful sky. A good many politicians appear to have made humbug ono of the ex act sciences. The warrior's brand is very fatal ; the grocer's brandy much more so. LATER FROM"THE NORTH.

Mr. Trenholm, the rebel Secretary of the Treasury, who had been permitted to visit Hilton Head and Charleston, under parole, has been remanded to Fort Pulaski. Savannah is reported to be in a very healthy condition. It is ascribed to mili tary sanitary measures. The city is in fected by desperadoes released from the Penitentiary to go in the rebel army. Receipts of cotton at Savannah is re ported to be 14,000 bales. Three or five thousand bales are expected from the in terior in two weeks. C. Vi. Field writes that the Great East ern would probably leave Valencia on the 15th, press representative included ; but the journal of the trip and its results will be forwarded to the Associated Press on the Great Eastern's arrival at Heart's Content. W ashington , July 19.—Danl. W. Voor hies spoke about three hours to-day in de fence of Miss Harris. He was frequently interrupted by applause of the audience. It is generally believed that Miss Harris will be acquitted. Publie sympathy is strongly in her favor. The trains on the Richmond and Dan ville road are now running regularly. Gov. Perry and Orr, of Sooth Carolina, had an interview with the President to-day, the subject of reconstruction. It is said a good dual of trouble has arisen iu South Carolina. Dispatches state that President Johnson expressed his determination thai the laws that were passed by the Tennessee Legis lature shall be obeyed, and illegal votes excluded from the polls. Eastern news entirely unimportant. m*cellaii«ouB Dlnpatche*. N ew Y ork , July 10.— The Times says the leading Masons of Mansaehusetts are about to invite their mostinfluentiafbreth ren at the South to visit them and partake of their hospitalities, that the remem brances of past strifes may be blotted out and union commence where it should, in individuals. The Post 's Washington special had a protracted interview with the President upon the Sonthern postal facilities, which will be rapidly extended. The Tribune's Washington Special says: •ne of the prominent counsels engaged on the late conspiracy asserts positively that tho spiritual attendants were denied ad mission to Mrs. Kurratt's cell on the day of the execution, until Secretary Stant„n had received from them a promise that they would not on tho scaffold proclaim their belief in her innocence. Major Gen.Sickles has returned to Wash ngton from hi* South American mission. The rumor« that he was sent to negot-ate for the colonization of emancipated negroes are set at rest by his official report. W hiîn the time comes tor the practical enforce ment of the Monroe Doctrine, tho succe»« fu; results of this important mission will be known. Tha President has recognized Robert Barth as Consul of the Duchy of Saxe Co burg; Gotha at St. Louis, and M. 8. Loen son as vice Consulof Sweden aud Norway at New Orlen». N ew Y ork , July 12 —By the stonmcr Eagle from liavanu, we leaan that Bruck - nridge, accompanied by Maj. C.J. Helm.

W ashington , July 18.— Doctor Mudd, 'Laughlin, Arnold and Spangler were to day sent to the Dry Tortugas, instead of tho Albany penitentiary,as originally sen tenced. The President's health is fully restored. Encouraging accoonts have been receiv ed of prospects of restoration in North Caro lina, and that the majority of her planters aro pursuing a humane and judicious course to.warns their late slaves.

To the Editor of the New Orleans Times S4 »Jor Tesier, of Cortiu»'» »uff baa jsst j arrived from above, bringing intelligence of the capture of Gen. Kirby Smith and his entire party. He was intercepted by the Governor of Si.ltillo, 8. Viesca, on the Fourth of July, at Piedras Negras, Mexico, about fifty miles below n,agle Pass, and compelled to surrender. The viotors got 4 pieces of artillery, 000 new rifles and a train of 75 wagons loaded with ammunition and provisions. The officers and man wore paroled. W. B razilian N ews .—A letter from Rio Janeiro to the New York Herald soys that some Southern people are emigrating to the province of Parana, in that Empire^ The writer says : Soon after the rebellion broke ont in the United States, I caused to be circulated in the Southern papers a warning to my seoeding countrymen to dispose of their slaves while they could get something for them, and urged such of them as under stood the cultivation of cotton to come to the Brazils, where they could get land for the asking,, which would be much the best way of seceding. Lately, agents have ar rived, and one of them, a Mr. Swain, who is juBt the man for the mission, has select ed a site on the Bay of Parahagua, in the province of Panama. The cliiäate is mild and the soil is rich, producing cotton, coffee, sugar and yerba. Many streams enter into this bay, wbich is studded with islands. The Portuguese settled this part of the country, but find ing gold, they neglected the cultivstion of the soil. Our enterprising countryman. Horace Lauo, has also secured a tract of land there, and it is supposed that a colony of North Americans will soon spring up in that region. There is great enthusiasm, he says, in Brazil, over ihe war with the little Itepuo lie of Paraguay, which sostubbornly holds the gate to the rich lauds of the upper Country Having thrown down the gnge of buttle to both Brazil aud the Argentine Confederation, Paraguay must soou go to the wall. Many plantera and others have present ed slaves to the Government to serve as soldiers. They bave certificates of free dom given them which grant all the rights of citizens, and they will be entitled to bouuty lauds the same as whito volunteers, Now is the time for the European powers, and the Americans also, to unite with Brazil in opening the Paraguay Kiver to Malta Grosso, where an important custom bouse should be established, and push Lopez and his policy aside to reach it, as Peru hill be approached fiom the Atlantic by the Amazon and its tributary, Ucayali. Lopez is the Dictator of Paraguay, who seeks to continue the isolation of Franoia. Ità?~ The Baltic sea, between Ger many and Sweeden, is 120 t'e«t deep, and the Adriatic, between Venice and Triuste, is 139 feet. 'Ihedeepest part of the channel between France and England is 130 feet. Off the south west coast of Ireland, in the open sea, tho depth is 2000 feet. Tha narrow eat part of the Straits of Gibraltar is 1,000 feet, and a little to the east of this the depth is 6,000 feet ; 250 south of Nantucket no bottom was found at 7,800 feet. West of the cape of Good Hope 16,000 feet have been measured, and west of 8t. Helena 27,000 feet. A Chinese heathen expressed his entire willingness that his family should become (Jhristians, but as he feared the ugly dogs round about them would thenceforth have the best of it in a row, expressed his in tention to remain a heathen, iu order to do the necessary cursing and fighting. £W Cockney Zoology.—Precocious young lady ; "Law, ma, here's a heagle."
