Tim SriOBR 's P arlor .—Thorn is
« little spider 'n Attutrali« that might,
with great propriety, ask the little
fly to walk into his parlor ; for he
hi«K a very neat, litt In parlor with
n mal floor, that open* and abuts on
n hinge. I think there is no other
animal besides man that can mako a
hinge. It seems wonderful that God
li.is given this knowledge to a little
insect we commonly look down upon
an among the mont insignificant.
There ara none of His works we can
lolly despise. "All thy work« praise
Thee, O Lord." A gentleman «I iw
covered one of these little under
ground spidor-hous'es, and made the
acquaintance o| the owner, and came
often to see hitn, so as to become ac*
fpiainted with his habits. He brought
him insoct» tor his food every day,
and made a certain tap on the door,
which tho spider soon learned to un
derstand. Then he would come up
and push open the door, which was
much like the lid of a ho*, and come
out to get his breakfast. After he
had received it he walked back into
his bouse anil shut down the lid very
carefully. The inside was made of
web and earth and was as smooth as
satin. Ho leavos his little door ajar
at times, and when some silly peep
ing insect comes peering round it, for
curiosity,
•'Uj» jntnpH t.h# cunning spider,
And fiercely bold« hlru fait."
He does not take up, but down "his
winding stair," and, alas ! "he never
comes out again."
S omk few years ago there was a
notary public in Washington, an old
and highly respected gentleman, who
had held his office through all the
political twintiugs nod turuiugs of
our capital for nearly twenty years.
A young friend was in his office one
«lay, and while sitting by the table
picked up a small old leather covered
i»ook, which upon being opened pro
ved to be "Thaddens (if Warsaw."
He oasualiy remarked to Mr. Hmith,
the notary :
"1 Bee you have a copy of "Thad
däus of Warsaw" here. '
"Thaddäus of Warsaw !" was th«
reply. "What do you mean ?"
"Why, this is a copy of it."
"Tbaddeus of Warsaw!" exclaim
ed the old gentleman He snatched
the book, gave one glance at it, and
cried out, "For. twenty years I have
been swearing on that book, thinking
it was the Bible 1 All the oaths
ain't worth the paper they are writ
ten on !"
» ^ • —
Too Muni M other —Arletuu«
Ward gets off the following paragraph :
Our ballad writers put too much
mother in their melodies. Thus we
have "Hear Mother, I've come home
to die"—Mother is the battle o'er?"
—"Mother, dear, O pray for ine"—
" Write a letter to my Mother," etc.
The other night wo heard an ath
lethic Ethiopian minstrel bleat.
"Mother kissed me in my dreams,"
just as though she would do it until
he washed the cork from bis face. A
mother is a good thing- Without
mothers—in fact, life would be un
pleasant.j| Hut why sing the mater
nai parent's so persistently, and in
such shaky verse? Why not vary
the thing, and occasionally produce a
lather or two ? If we must continu
ally sing about our parents, let us by
all moans give the "old map" achance
W ouldn't M arry .—The Presse
of Vienna says :
On Monday last a manufacturer of
this city was going to celebrate his
marriage with a young girl without
any fortune. On arriving at, the
church the intended bridegroom
wished to leave his hat in the car
riage. He raised it from his head,
but unfortunately brought away hi*
wig as well. No sooner did the
young lady see the artificial head of
hair detached from the skull of her
lover than she refused to become bis
wife, and each returned home, to the
great disappointment of the witnesses
and others who were present.
ty A young officer in the Prus
sian army stood looking at a private,
whose brains had been blown out by
a cannon ball. A superior officer,
thinking him frightened, spoke en
couragingly. Said the other, "I was
only wondering how a man with so
much brain ever came to be here.

General Orden Nt>. S4.
The following order of the Président of
the United Htuten in relation to trunsfar of
abandoned lands, funds and property net
apart for tho u»e of Freodmen, to tho
Bureau of Refugee«, Froedman and Aban
doned Lands, is published for the infor
mation and guidance of all concerned ;
K xicijtivb M awsioh, \
Waihington, D. C., June 12,3815. |
Whereas, By an act of Congress, ap
proved March 3, 1805, there waB estab
lished in the War Department a Bureau of
llcfugoe*, Frnednicn and Abandoned Lands
and to which, in accordance with the said
act of Congress, is committed the aupcr
vision and management of all abandoned
iands, and the control of all subjects re
lating to refugees; and freedmen from re
bel States*, or from any district of couutrjr
within the territory embraced in the oper
ations of tho army, under such rules and
regulation* as may be prescribed by the
liehd of the bureau and approved by the
President; and whereat, it appears that She
manngement of abandoned lands, and sub
jects relating to refugees and freedmen, as
.«.foresaid, have been, and still are, by or
ders based on military exigencies, or leg
iilation based on previous statute«, partly
in the hands of military officers disconnec
ted with said bureau, and partly in charge
of officers of the Treasury Department ; it
is therefore Ordered, That all officers of
the Treasury Department, all military of
ficers, and all others in the service of the
United Htates, turn oter to the authorised
officers of said bureau all abandoned lands
and property contemplated in said act of
Congress, approved March Î5, estab
lishing the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen
anil Abandoned Lands, that may now be
under or within their control. They will
also turn over to such offices all funds
collected by tax or otherwise for the bene
fit of refugees or freedmen, or accruing
from abandoned lands or property sot
apart for their use, and will transfer to
them till official records connected with the
administration of «flairs which pertain to
said bureau.

The following important circular has
beon issued by tho Treasury Department :
Tun Ascii Y D icpaktmbnt, 1
Office vf I ht Comptroller of Currency, I
Washington, D. C. J
The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption of mutilated
circulating notes of national banks, and
their return to this office :
First—The notes are to be redeemed by
the banks by which thoy are respectively
issued, and should not be returned to this
office lu sums less than fivo hundred dol
lars, or in even multiples of that amount.
•Second—Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received, when
presented by the bank that issued them,
provided all tho fragments are returned
and the engraving or si gnat ore« are not
■50 lar obliterated that It cannot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were issued.
Third— Fragmonts should be redeemed
by banks in full when accompanied by an
affidavit stating the ease and manner of
mutilation, and that tho missing part of
the note is totally destroyed. The good
character of tho affiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officcr before whom the
affidavit is taken.
These affidavits must be forwarded to
this office, with the fragments to which
they rolato, in order that the banks pre
senting such parts of notes may obtain
credit for tho same.
Exceptional cases may occur in which
no affidavit can bo obtained, and where no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
the entire destruction or irreparable dam
age to missing portions of notes—as by
fire, acids, ete.—where evidence of identity
is ample by the signature of one or both
officers, or title or locality of the bank,
and the denomination of the note—where
the integrity of the bill-holder is unexcep
tionable, and where no question could
arise in regard to a fraudulent or improper
use of missing parts ; in such instances
judicious discrimination must necessarily
be exercised by the officers of the banks.
It is, however, advised that suoh notes
bo received at their full face value, a per
fect note given therefor, a record being
preserved of the fact, to be sent to this of
8co with the mutilated note when returned
for redemption by the bank, in which caao
full crédit will bo allowed in this depart
ment
Fourth—When no satisfaction can be
ohtained in regard to the missing parts,
and a possibility exists that any improper
use can be made of the same, it is recom
mended that a proportionate value only be
allowed, estimating this by comparison of
the propottion returned to the missing
parts. A record should be kept of the
amount allowed in all such instances, and
a voucher of the same rendered to this of
fice, when the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption.
