"Wall, boys, I reckon our buns ii a 2.40 trotter, if ever one ran. He's a s patriot; for be bates the Hard Cider Whigs as be does Old Gooseberry, and he weighs two hundred pounds." This incontrovertible assertion as to the merit of the Federal War Minister's secretary, Colonel Harland, was propounded by Henry Tucker, a young youth from Illinois, a clerk in the Railway Transport and Telegraph Department, in a large blank room of the White House at Washington, not many days after the Federal victory at Rich Mountain. "If he was to weigh down all the cotton bales in Mobile, I shouldn't like him," said Kennedy, the fellow clerk to whom he addressed his remark; "he's a darned deal too strict for me. I'd as as at Sing-Sinsoon be in a chain-gan- g I say, it's not fit for free-bor- n in this hole Americans; other people who haven't our institutions may like it; but we don't, that's a fct." Louis P. Kennedy had a skin the exact texture of one of those fungi thut try to pass themselves .off as real tauBhrooms. His hair was lank, btaeit, nd greaxy; his restless, wandor-in- g eyes, large and black, showed a about the whites from ceaseless and incessant smoking; bis body was long, boneless and shrunken; a luone slovenly dress, garnished with a good deal of vulgar jewelry, were the other characteristics of this unattractive young renegade. There was something poisonous, snaktsh and malignnnt nhout the fellow; and an air of reckless dissipation, combined with an insincere flaunting possibility, made persons of honesty and penetration distrust the man at the first glance. "Where's the colonel now ?" said a native of Alathird clerk, a patty-face- d bama; "is he with old Abe!" "I say, Kennedy," said a fourth man, looking up from his desk, "do you really think M'Clullan's going to have a regular drag out at the SeoesheriT I think he begins to see the nbs. have some fight iu them. He didn't think enough of them at first; he finds that they'll wnnt something harder than after all, to drive them out pecan-nutof Richmond." Kennedy leaped up at this, and jumped on a chair to harangue his admirers. "I reckon " he cried, with the frcn-tie- d air of a man whose blood was fired with too frequent brandy, and not with that generous impulse that bracca men's ' kciuta to great enturj riscs All eyes turned upon the aspirant to oratorical dignity; all but those of a stalwart youug Englishman, who sat near a window, ' head down, muttering figures, and intent on diagram for an train for troops then eon " tructing. "Have a drink first, 'Kennedy!" "Have a drink!" "Vou're bound to have a drink 1" shouted threo or four voices; and as many hands held up brandy Hanks, that had been hidden in desks, to the flower of South Carolina, and the fit representative of her now rebellious chivalry. The orator graciously acceded, and emptying a flask, jerked the last drop agaiust the stove, on which it audibly hissed remonstratingly. There was a certain glib eloquence about the young Southerner, and a fervor that almost passed with his admirers for poetry. "I reckon," he began again, "that M'Clellan will knock the rebs. into a cocked-ha- t before next spring, and I'm reeyjy to fight any one who aayi ho won't. Yes, I say, he'll chaw them up as easy as a panther cuaws up a brood of possums. Straight through the body of the South our swords will pass, as easy as if it was a cotton bale. Our cannon wheels will crunch op their harvests, our fire will blaxe up their barns and their merchandise; yes, we'll level their mountains, and pile up their plains I As for their cities, we'll turn them into warehouses and tobacco sheds; we'll wake them work for their own slaves; we'll drain off the Mississippi and itono up their .."liully for you, captain I" shouted the excited auditors. Kennedy had been a captain of the Baltimore Fire Zouaves.

He's in with old Abe now." "I tell yon," rated on Kennedy, the insatiable speaker, a froth rising about his yellow lips, -- "I tell you, fellow that the stripes on our banner shall be widened till each stripe is broad as the Atlantic, and every stripe shall be the emblem of a new conquered region; yes, tho stars shall be multiplied till they equal the aparklea in a frosty sky; our armies shall darken the earth from Mexico to Cape Horn; our navies shall sweep the seas from the north pole to to the equator. The despots of the k world- ""Bully for yon, captain!" shouted again the excitable Tucker. "Good, good; that's right ! Bully for you, Ken nedy!" "I ssy, you fellows," said Tyrrell, the Englishman before alluded to, rising but impatiently from his diagrams of boilers, pistons and driving wheels, and rubbing his thick brown hair with humorous distraction, m ha strode, half ftngry, half amused, among the politicians, "how am I to calculate the capacity of the valve chest of the new engine, and the longth of the openings of tho stearaports, with such a tremendous row going on and all this mad spouting? lou really must, as your American phrase is, 'dry up.' I don't want to make a fuss, but I must do my work, and that's all about it. Kennedy, I'm sorry to spoil your immediate chances for tho presidency; but the new engine must, be built, yon citi-xen- s, y close-curli- ng know, and I've got to draw the sections before nest Tuesday." Kennedy glowered angrily at the blunt intruder, and his fingers twitehed as if grasping a weapon; as he got down from tb chair and confronted the sturdy, frank young Englishman with a most venomous and dangerous expression in his eyes, and a bluster that was scarcely so valiant as it seemed. "If you don't take care, there'll be a funeral shortly among the Tyrrell's," screamed Kennedy, "and I shall have to find the body ! We want none of your airs here, do we, darned We'ro free, enlightened eiti-teb'hoys? no aristocrats and want we here; favorites and half Seoeshers in the White House, do we?" A cloud caina over the young Englishman's tparkling clear gray eyes, his lips gripped together, his right hand almost involuntarily clinched. Ho had long borne Kennedy's violence, envy, and bluster, and he felt something in his throat just then that told him he could bear it no longer. He was of a bold, stern, Yorkshire race, ' who 5u rough times had learned to give the blow first and tho word afterwards. ' Kennedy recoiled before his fierce look, and fumbled in his waistcoat as if for the knife or pistol that every one in the office knew he carried. "Take care, Tyrrell; knock him down at once," whispered Tucker, the good naturcd Illinois man." He's very quick with his "There'll be a muss," cried the others,, quite unconoerned. "Wait till office clones, Kennedy, and then whip him." I!ut there would have been no waiting tho pistol was ready, the fist closed when the door swiftly but gently opened, and a general officer looked in calmly, sternly, and rebukingly. He was a tall gaunt man, with cold blue eyes, and a worn, dry, brown face of almost Indian outline. It was the face of one born to command men and deppise death. It was the Secretary of War. The clerks shrank to their teats Kennedy among the first. The only one of them who stood boldly to bear the brunt was He bowed,' and remained Tyrrell. standing by the stove. "Not so much neise, young gentlemen," said the general angrily. "This is the third time the President has complained this morning. Let me hear no more of it. Mr. Tyrrell, are your plans ready T" "They will be, General Cameron, by four o'clock the time I promised them." "Good mind they are so. Wo must press forward everything, and crush these rbs right away. Mind, no more noise in this room, or I'll have a guard put mind that. Tyrrell, you ought to keep silence. If it whs at camp, I'd barrul one of jrod, by I would !" , The moment, the' general closed the door behind him, Kennedy swung himself from his stool. Sitting down indolently before the stove, resting his heels on the edge of the top, he began unfurling the large sheet of the Acio 1 ori Herald, and read scraps of a paragraph, scowling at he did so at his rival, the Englishman, and stopping occasionally to utter a sneering laugh." A Mess At Baton Kouge Captain Joe Blodzoe and Mr.Louis F. Hutolie-to- o quarrel about vote in Congress met by river-siU- e with rifles, aud fired at ten paoes." "Good!" commented the excitable Tucker, roused to enthusiasm at hearing the shortness of distance selected by tho two duelists. 'Bledzoe's Tucker, you dry up. gun would not go off. llutcheson walked five paces nearer, and fired. Singular y enough, the shot only struck the lock-plat- e and guard of Bledzoe's gun, carrying off four of Bledioe's fingers and half his thumb. Hutcheon, thinking Bledzoe not satisfied with what had eventuated, then proposed to go up to the roof of the St. Louis Hotel, and leap lege t her from the roof. Bledzoe has quite lost credit with his friends by twice declining this chivalrous offer.'" "Bally for llutcheson!" shouted the Irrepressible Tucker. "Aud what does Mr. Tyrrell think of this gallant affair?" said Kennedy, waiving the paper, and advancing towards the desk of the English clerk. "1 believe you Englishmen take a high moral tone about such things, which perhaps accounts for the difficulty there is in getting some of you to fight, eh?" Tyrrell looked tip from hit work with perfect repeating the last line of hit calculations. "Driving wheel, SoO area of tubes look here, Kennedy," he laid: "I am quite ready to fight you, if you insist upon it, at the proper time: but certainly not till I've done working these diagrams; so just gel to your work, and leave me to mine, there's a good fellow." Kennedy was abeut to reply angrily, when the door opened and a clerk from a higher department came bustling in. "lihoys," said he exultingly, "there's work coming for tome of you from the Seorot Service Offioe. I've just been writing out a pass to Canada for Booth the actor; cheeky follow he's been jawing old Abe for the last half hour. By thunder, he's the coolest card just about! lut 1 say boys, there t work for tome of you. The general wants one of you en gincert to do tome tecret service among the rebs at the Romney station. The man who doet that well " "And geta back with a whole tkin, laid Tucker. ' "Zackly so, Tucker will get a step. They'll choose me, "said Kenned? confidentially. "I've had this' sort of work before, and eld Abo himself com plimented me." Look out boys!" tald Tucker, who had been leaning at the side of an open window.

SUPERIORITY There ought to be no cellars under any dwelling, because they are always mora or less damp and musty, and are the receptacle of every variety of sub stances subject to decay, decomposition, and tho promotion of unhealtbful gases and odors; not one cellar in a thousand. cither in town or country, is clean or dry; and as any housekeeper may verify In ten minute. Cellars are usually cluttered up with old barrels, boxes. casks, bottles, cast-of- f boots, shoes, hats; with bones, ashes, and various remnants of wilted and rotting potatoes, turnips, apples, and other varieties of fruits and vegetables; it it the gases, the emana tions, arising from these things, which cause tho worst forms of typhoid and other malignant fevers. It is a benevolent arrangement of the wise and good Kuler of us all that pestiferous gases are lighter than the common air, and rise with great rapidity in warm weather to the regions of the clouds, where they can injure no one, and are either puri fied or resolved into their elementary r conditions. Thus the ing atmosphere of the cellar, rises upwards, penetrates the crevices of the flooring, and would escape from the building, but it confined to the parlors and chambers, especially on tho highest floors. Ibis is particularly the case in New York City where the only entranoe to the cellar is within the building; nence, every time toe cellar door is opened, a crowd of foul emanations rush upward to impregnate the air of every apartment in the house. Very many of the oeilmgs of collars are not even plastered; when really they ought not only to ne plastered, but the eight or ten inches between the floors and the plas tering, should bo filled with charooal or ashes. n e have seen water closets un der the stores in Broadway, which, for conditions of filthiness, are an uttordis grace to civilization. From considera tions above named, the cellar should be the cleanest apartment in every dwelling; and in this moving time of the beautiful May, when perhaps half the dwellings change occupants, it is peculiarly convenient when a cellar has been emptied by the movers out, for those moving in, to have the cellar most completely emp tied or everything not fast attached to the butlmng; let every avenue of grating, door, and window be left open day and mgnt Tor at least a week; the floor, walls, and ceilings or joists should be swept several times; the walls and ceil ings whitewashed with two or three coats; the floor well washed and then rinsed with water, and tmsluckrd lime or powdered charcoal should be liberally scattered wherever there is any appear ance of dampness, to as to absorb all odors arising from moist and dark places.
