 " The Canteen " will lie piiblislieil daily, com- 
 mencing three or four days before the Army Relief 
 Bazaar, and tenninatinir only with the close of the 
 great institution. It will be 
 
 A Live, Enterprising Paper, 
 
 And, if it does not publish the latest tele^ifraphic 
 despatches, it will contain numerous sensations quite 
 as reliable and much more interestin^jf. It is conli- 
 dently expected that tRe unadulterated genius with 
 which it will be conducted, and the glorious cause 
 which it is intended to subserve, will give it a 
 
 CIRCULATION OF SEVERAL THOUSAND COPIES DAILY. 
 Thus making it an unrivaled medium foradvertisers. 
 Parties engaged in business which they would like 
 to extend, will do themselves and their country's 
 defenders a favor by sending their advertisements — 
 which, in every instance are expected to be entirely 
 truthful— to " 'PHE CA>n'EE>J," through the Post 
 Office, Drawer 110, or by the Agent, JOHN S. 
 DICKEUMAN, Eso. ; and it is hoped that these 
 contributions, like all others, will conform to the 
 peculiar character of the paper, in their oddity, whim- 
 eicalitv and humor. The terms are $.5 for a square, 
 or $3'for a half square. $3 for two squares, and 
 at that rate for advertisements longer tliau two 
 squares, for the whole Volume, which will consist 
 of at least twelve numbers. The entire proceeds 
 will go to the fund of the Bazaar. For further par- 
 ticulars inquire of our Agent. 
 
 "THE ca:\tee.k.*' 
 
 The Bazaar and its Arrangements. 
 
 We present above a diagram of the build- 
 ing in which the great Fair is to be held. It 
 will be seen that the structure — which was 
 planned by Walter Dickson, Esq., and erected 
 under the supervision of Henry Q. Ilawley, 
 Esq., Wm. N. Fassett, Esq., and Dr. S. 0. 
 Vanderpoel — Is in the form of a double Greek 
 cross. The eastern nave is 189 feet long . 
 the western nave 100 feet long, and the tran- 
 sept 205 feet long. The width of the naves 
 and transept is CO feet. The height of the 
 eaves from the floor is 14 feet, and the alti- 
 tude from the floor to the apex of the roofs is 
 28 feet. The carpenter work has been done 
 under the direction of John Parker and John 
 Clemshire. The roof of the building is 
 covered with heavy felting or prepared paper, 
 laid by John W. Osborn. The whole work 
 has been under the general superintendence 
 of Edmund Knickerbocker, Esq. It would 
 bo superfluous to add that all of these gentle- 
 men have discharged their various duties with 
 great fidelity and energy. 
 
 The building will be lighted day and night

 by gas, which cannot fail to give it a brilliant 
 appearance. As one enters it from Washing- 
 ton Avenue he passes under the Orchestra or 
 speaker's stand, which is visible from all parts 
 of the building. Directly opposite are the 
 booths of the United Kingdoms in a proximity 
 as intimate as Mr. Pitt could have wished. 
 England extends her arms around Scotland 
 to Ireland, and St. George, St. Andrew and 
 St. Patrick form a triumvirate of tutelar 
 divinities. On the right of the entrance is 
 the " Curiosity Shop," where all manner of 
 antiquities and novelties, from General Wash- 
 ington's writing case to ours (when we get 
 through with it), will be displayed. The building and its appointments. It has risen 
 
 Troy occupies 6 booths 
 - at the upper end of the 
 eastern nave, three on 
 either side. The abo- 
 rigines are placed be- 
 tween. The Italians, 
 Russians, Saratogians 
 and Dutch follow in 
 order, filling the com- 
 plement of the eastern 
 nave. The Swiss and 
 Orientals flank the 
 entrance. 
 
 At the head of the 
 Western nave is Flo- 
 ral Hall. France and 
 ; perfumery naturally 
 go together next on 
 the left. The west end 
 of the transept is occu- 
 pied as the department 
 of War Trophies, and 
 will be a maiked fea- 
 ture. The military 
 and autograph booths 
 
 follow, where the Laud 
 
 writing on the wall to the rebels, and that 
 which wasn't such fearful hand-writing may 
 be purchased for a reasonable sum. Adjoin- 
 ing are the Post Office and News Room, 
 which will be constantly thronged, like Con- 
 gress Spring, by thirsty individuals waiting 
 for a refreshing draught from The Canteen. 
 The Gipsy tent is near and will probably re- 
 main stationary during the Fair. Beyond 
 this is the grand Dining Hall, which, it is 
 expected, will be a favorite resort. The La- 
 dies' Room, kitchen, &c., are convenient and 
 well arranged. 
 
 Such is a very brief description of the 
 
 Shaker Booth is sandwiched between the 
 Curiosity Shop and the great United States 
 booth which will be gaily decorated and 
 festooned, and over which the dominion of 
 the Stars and Stripes will not be questioned. 
 Brother Jonathan's wife takes her place on 
 the right of this booth, as she ought, and the 
 German booth adjoins. Schenectady, Spain 
 and Japan are represented in order next, and 
 
 like the palace of Aladdin, and when the in- 
 terior arrangements are perfected it will rival 
 the oriental halls in its crowning splendors. 
 The festoons and overhanging arches of ever- 
 greens, the rich display of colors, the fair 
 ladies adorned with the varied costumes of 
 the nationalties, the battle-scarred banners 
 as they have come from war's grim embrace, 
 and the whole brilliantly illuminated with a

 THIS REMA RKABLE 
 American remedy is 
 currying tLe world ' by 
 etorm. Over five millioDS 
 of boxes are sold annu- 
 ally. Composed entirely 
 of Flowerw, Roots, Bal- 
 saius and Extracts — tbeir 
 etiect on tbe buman sys- 
 tem is pleasant, eatisi^c- 
 tory and successful. Act- 
 ing directly on tbe blood, 
 glands, solids and fluids of 
 the body, tbeir use is at- 
 tended w'itb tbe bappiest 
 effects. In sudden attacks 
 
 of diseases, one or two 
 
 doses almost always cures. In old standing cases 
 of sickness, small doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the system that good healtli is tbe result. 
 No change in employment or diet is necessarv. 
 They never cause sore nioutbs, swelled joints, acn- 
 ing limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. They are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the money will be 
 refunded. They are considered cheaper, Siifer, 
 pretier, and in all respects superior to any purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 Ill many cases, where tbe dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all appearance no human means conld save life, 
 patients nave, by the use of these Pills, been re- 
 stored to good health ; the devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 In consequence of tbe pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion they are universally used in every section of 
 our wide-extended country where they are made 
 known, and are fast superseding every otJier prepa- 
 ration of professed similar import. Upwards of forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from tbeir use, since the iutroducti(»n of them into 
 the United States, thus e^^lablisbing tbe fact beyond 
 all doubt that Herrick's Pills cure the (apparently) 
 most opposite diseases by tbe one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the bowels until tbe disease 
 gives way ; therefore, whatever may be said of tbe 
 Tlieory, the utility of Practice is now beyond all 
 doubt."

THE CANTEEN 
 
 Feb. 22. 
 
 [For The Canteen.] 
 
 My Mill with its New Machine. 
 
 I no sooner heard of the Fair for the bene- 
 fit of the sick and wounded soldiers, than I 
 conceived the notion of putting in operation 
 a new machine, just patented, which throws 
 off prose and poetry — united or separately — 
 or all in a heap as may be desired, and at a 
 speed never hitherto equaled. This machine 
 requires water for its motive power — and its 
 products may therefore possibly answer the 
 purpose of The Canteen, which is often best 
 served with water. So I cast about for a 
 water power in the vicinity of the Fair. 1 
 explored the suburbs of Albany — and particu- 
 larly Bethlehem, which is said to abound in 
 the article. 
 
 Near Ebnwood there rises a small stream 
 of pure water, just in the rear of the Church — 
 but that hospitable resort of Summer visitors, 
 is so thronged with thirsty souls, that they 
 drink these waters dry, and so exhaust them, 
 that there is little left for my purpose. 
 
 In the forest near Rock Hill a stream rises 
 in the flush of the Spring, that one would 
 think might be powerful enough, but it dries 
 up with amazing rapidity under the sun's in- 
 fluence, and cannot be depended on. Further 
 down, McGiWs Spring, I found, was exhausted 
 in supplying his place; and Jolly^s Brook had 
 too gay a name to suit my serious purpose. 
 
 At The Ahhey, all the water was drank up 
 with avidity as soon as it issued forth ; and 
 the rills that refresh Glenmont were too slen- 
 der for my use. The Maples furnished no run- 
 ning stream (except in the sugar season) ; and 
 at The Birches, although the site was watered 
 by a considerable brook, yet when I state 
 that a milkman occupies the place, nobody 
 would expect to find any surplus water there. 
 I found Hill Top high and dry, and next door 
 at the Corning estate, the numerous cattle 
 drank up all the water, and like Oliver Twisti 
 called for more ; so that being now brought 
 in my circuit to the Nornuai's Kill, and find- 
 ing all the water there appropriated, I des- 
 paired of suc^ss, and sat down musing, and 
 waiting for something to turn up. And 
 presently, up it came. The saw-mill at Ken- 
 wood burned down, and I squatted at once, 
 like a Groesbeckville-ian, on its site. Here 
 amid the ruins of that venerable pile, with 
 charred wood, ashes, smoked lumber and saw- 
 logs all around me — with no sound save that 
 of Bulger's omnibus and the grist mill near 
 me, with none to hinder or make afraid 
 (save those of the factories and the flouring 
 mill, who having a priority in the right to 
 use the water of the stream, may dry me up 
 at any time— in which case I shall move to 
 Coeymans and plant my machine on the 
 bank of a beautiful Dutch stream, called the 
 Hannecrow Kill — Roostercrow Creek, mean- 
 ing), I set up my mill and hoist my gate ! 
 
 Flow on then Norman's Kill — and at the same 
 time flow my song, in prose or verse — as thus !

 Dixii Magniloquentia. 
 
 It is often pleasant to call up memories of 
 the notables of one's day and nation, and 
 especially those who rose brilliantly, and had 
 a fair morning, but who have been under a 
 cloud for a season. 
 
 It occurs to us at present, to inquire after 
 some of the naval heroes, lent by Uncle Sam 
 to the Southern rebels, and to celebrate other 
 notables in Dixie. The valiant Tainall, where 
 is he, and Barron, who can tell ? And where 
 is Lynch, of the Dead Sea, and Maury, is he 
 well ? Ah, Tatnall ! thy mosquito fleet, it 
 didn't run its bill into Dupont, but quite dis- 
 creet, went off, where, none can tell. Lynck 
 knew from Sodom and Lot's wife, that when 
 you start your track, to flee from danger or 
 from strife, it won't do to look back. But 
 chief, oh Maury ! pious soul ! who sounded 
 earth and sea, and found the current to the 
 North Pole would not carry slavery ; Great 
 Scientist ! Heaven seeking oft ! may you look 
 upward still, and if angels do not take you 
 aloft, perhaps the gallows will ! 
 
 And where are those sweet rebel shes, who 
 held their skirts aside, lest they should touch 
 the Yankees, before their bones were dried 1 
 But when our soldiers bones were cured, and 
 worked in presents fair, their fragments could 
 be well endured, and worn on hands and hair 
 Where is that worthy Southern priest, who 
 worked, as it was said, a bracelet fine to gird 
 the wrist of a fair Southern maid ? That man, 
 though green and newly hatched, a Soldier 
 from the yolk, would soon be worthy to be 
 matched, with the warrior-bishop Polk. 
 
 Right Reverend Rebel and pugnacious 
 priest ! who marched up mountains and ran 
 down the same ; say, when from Di.vie thou 
 shalt be released, what place in future wilt 
 pretend to claim ? Thou hast a double ward- 
 robe, and thy tongue, in sacred vestmen ts 
 can exhort and pray ; with sword and epau- 
 lette, no man unhung, e'er gave that member 
 more unbridled sway. Oh, Polk ! thou hast 
 the strangest laurels won ! I fear thou wilt 
 be damned canonicals off or on ; — damned as 
 a priest, in the last great day of trial, and 
 damned in Dixie as a d — bad general. 
 
 Actors change parts, the Reverend Polk 
 could pray, but eke would fight, while the 
 Great Misnamed at Roanoke, ran fairly out of 
 sight. He was too Wise to lay on like a 
 Hessian, when " the better part of valor is 
 discretion."

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Now let us change our note to woe, put 
 on of crape a yard, for the way that all trans- 
 gressors go, the Scriptures say is hard. So 
 Johnson found beyond a doubt, before he was 
 by death struck, and so he swore, with his 
 last breath, that fellow Ben McCidloch. Old 
 Tyler vanished, taking all ; not even his ears 
 infest the day, whose length is such, that the 
 last trumpet's call, he can easily meet half 
 way. And Twiggs the traitor, Floyd the 
 thief, and Hoxislon, Clay and Yancey, — to all 
 of these while working mischief, the Devil 
 took a fancy. And there was Dixie's Joan 
 of Arc, in breeches, Stonewall Jackson, killed 
 by friend's bullets in the dark, while the Yan- 
 kees were turning their backs on ! 'Tis well 
 enough, so that he's dead, and gone to his last 
 home ; but yet lives Rhetl at rebels' fountain 
 head ? and where, oh where is Qualtlebum ? 
 
 We can't spe.ik well of these dead men ; 
 living we'd kill, and dead, not mourn 'em, as 
 we hold for nought that musty old Latin, de 
 mortuis, nil nisi honum. 
 
 In our philosophy one thing is clear, how- 
 ever you may fix her — that rebellion, to pro- 
 long life many a 3'ear, is uot the true Elixir.

 Feb. 22. 
 
 EDITED BY 
 
 MK. SMITH. 
 
 ALBANY, FEBRUARY 22, 1864. 
 
 Our First Gurgle, 
 
 When the dear ladies — whom we never men- 
 tion without a blessing express or implied — 
 were first moved by their pitying hearts to 
 gather contributions for the sick and wounded 
 soldiers, they were not solicitous of having 
 their charitable deeds recorded, and it never 
 occurred to them that what they were about 
 to do would be worthy of immortal fame. 
 Such modesty adorns the fair ! It was not 
 until the palatial structure which now adorns 
 the Academy Park rose to view, and was 
 destined to be the scene of their future tri- 
 umphs in deeds of blessed charity ; nor until 
 after the brilliant success of those who ar- 
 ranged the grand Tableaux and astonished 
 and delighted our citizens with their exhibi- 
 tion on several occasions, that it occurred to 
 anybody that our ladies were performing 
 deeds worthy of record, and richly deserved 
 a historian. A few benevolent and gallant 
 gentlemen then cast about for pen, ink and 
 paper, for printer, type and editor ; but it was 
 now so near the opening day of the Giand 
 Bazaar, that they had too little time to ar- 
 range lor the issuing of this sheet, whose 
 editor, in haste and perhaps unwisely, they 
 detern ined to make us, whom we now beg to 
 introduce to our principal and most delightful 
 friends : 
 
 Ladies of the Bazaar ! 
 
 -Mr. Smith ! 
 
 You have heard that name before ; it is not 
 uncommon ; but for ourselves we are proud 
 of it now, since all that the name conveys— 
 the entire entity embraced by this cognomen, 
 is devoted to your service. 
 
 You, who are but charity personified, will 
 not think less of us for acknowledging that 
 we received our education when Lindley Mur- 
 rivtf gave law for the grammatical conslruction 
 
 rises at once to the view to warrant his right 
 to use nouns and pronouns of multitude ! We 
 shall not scruple, therefore, to say " we," on 
 all fitting occasions ; and yet we beg our gen. 
 tie readers to understand that we are but one 
 person, an unit — devoted to the service of the 
 Great Bazaar. 
 
 As to our principles— why, bless you, sir ! 
 we have not any at all. We have merely 
 one desire— and that is to make money for 
 the pocket of the Bazaar. That done— and 
 we vanish, to be seen no more. If we can 
 make more by a laugh than a sigh — why 
 we shall laugh till our sides split. But if 
 moans shall pay better than laughter, we 
 shall draw down the corners of our mouth 
 elevate our eyebrows, and give vent to our 
 seeming sorrow by a nasal melody "long 
 drawn out," in a manner to rival the most 
 dismal puritan since the days of old NoU. It 
 would be a pity, if, in a family as numerous 
 as ours, there were not to be found persons 
 capable of playing any part that pays. 
 
 An Editor being provided, and our princi- 
 ples proclaimed, the next thing in order is an 
 appropriate name for our sheet. As it is to 
 be devoted to the Fair for the benefit of the 
 sick and wounded soldier, it would seem that 
 its name should have reference to him, or to 
 something that conspicuously pertains to him. 
 When this subject was under discussion, some 
 one feebly suggested " TheKnapsack;" where 
 upon we, being seated editorially, frowned 
 down that name as common, and as suggestive 
 .of shoddy, which we abhor. A contributor 
 mentioned " The Golden Heart "—which, as 
 it seemed to present a fine contrast to a cer- 
 tain kind of metallic head, at first struck us 
 favorably, but it did not seem soldierly, and 
 might be thought unkind, so we finally re 
 jected it. Other names were presented. " The 
 Bugle Call,'" we feared might imply more 
 sound than substance ; and " The Loaded 
 Gun," might frighten the ladies, than which 
 nothing could be further from our purpose. 
 We balanced in doubt for some time on 
 " Unete Sam's Crutch," but at length threw 
 it aside, and turned to "Scraped Lint," to 
 which it was objected that it seemed like a 
 pun, or a play upon words, and we are too 
 humane to trifle with the sick and wounded. 
 And yet— the gentle reader will scarcely be- 
 
 of our language. It was in his excellent work 
 
 that our family name -was first held up as :ui i ij^ve it after a decided manifestation of our 
 
 example to the young. In ably illustrating 
 some great principle of his science, this re- 
 
 vered man afiirnied that " The Smiths are a 
 numerous family." Nothingcould be more pre- 
 cisely true. And if any man has an undoubted 
 right to speak or write of himself in the plu- 
 ral, it is a Smith. Now we have always doubt- 
 ed the propriety of a single editor's referring 
 to himself as " we." In his case it seems not 
 only arrogant, but it is clearly a departure 
 from the truth. But when a Smith, seated in 
 an editor's chair, writes "we" what a host 
 
 abhorrence of punning in this business of a 
 name, a person who has hitherto made con- 
 
 siderable pretensions to respectability, actu- 
 ally suggested that we should call our yet 
 unblemished sheet " The Lost Leg-Easy." 
 But we were at length delivered from this 
 doubt and impertinence by a most humane, 
 genial and soldierly suggestion, that our sheet 
 should be known now and forever, as The 
 Canteen. 
 
 Nevertheless, this fortunate name did not 
 pass, without due consideration and profound 
 
 criticism. After some hesitation and objec- 
 tion, it was at length conclusively argued in 
 its favor, that the universe, so far as we can 
 perceive, is wholly composed of liquids and 
 solids — but by no means in equal proportions 
 — the fluids being in very great excess over 
 the solids ; that, judging from the surface, 
 more than two-thirds of the earth consist of 
 fluids ; and as the existences on this planet, 
 whether animal or vegetable, necessarily par- 
 take of its (jualities in respect of the com- 
 ponent parts of their physical systems, so it 
 is to be expected that in the constitution of 
 the human body, there should be found a 
 decided preponderance of the fluids. Accord- 
 ingly our most learned naturalists have de- 
 clared that in the dryesir specimen of our 
 race, there are to be found at least three parts 
 of fluid to one of solid — and in more properly 
 saturated specimens, the proportion of the 
 fluid to the solid, is far greater. It must be ob- 
 vious, therefore, to the meanest capacity, that 
 in providing for the wants of such a being, 
 the most careful attention should be bestowed 
 on the fluids — on the vessels destined to con- 
 tain them, and on the most convenient modes 
 of imbibition. Now, in providing for a due 
 supply of the fluids, for such of the human 
 race as are exposed to the greatest hard- 
 ships — to intense heat — to intolerable thirst 
 in traversing the arid and inhospitable re- 
 gions of the earth — the soldiers to wit — the 
 canteen has been found in respect of size, 
 fbrm and facility of management, to be the 
 very thing desired. It is graceful in figure — 
 of easy access — portable, and its contents 
 always refreshing and often delightful. It is 
 a gratifying circumstance, also, that a canteen 
 must necessarily be made of tin, a bright and 
 beautiful metal, which has never been tra- 
 duced like another metal we could name, by 
 malicious politicians ; and is associated in the 
 mind, with all that is innocent and pure in our 
 old simple homes, from the child's whistle to 
 the shining milk pans on the shelves of the 
 dairyman. 
 
 After this argument, the case seemed to be 
 all with the Canteen, until a caviler sug- 
 gested — that we were about to intrude our 
 Canteen with its appropriate liquids in the 
 very city and near the very spot, where the 
 first Temperance Society was organized ; in 
 those very streets where the wine of the first 
 martyr enriched the gutters — and in the very 
 abode of the great Apostle of Temperance 
 himself! We were startled and confounded, 
 until an ingenious friend at our elbow, dis- 
 posed of this last argument of the adversary. 
 
 He said, our Canteen would be a perfect 
 God-send to Albany, where, of all places 
 known, there was the greatest departure from 
 an equilibrium in respect of the solids and 
 fluids of the human system ; — that many 
 sufiered from this cause, — and that the great

 The Pair and the Canteen. 
 The great fair for the benefit of the Sani- 
 tary Commission forms one of the most im- 
 portant epochs in the history of our city and 
 vicinity. Never before has any undertaking 
 met with so general a support and so unan- 
 imous a feeling. The spirit with which, not 
 only the citizens of Albany, but those of Troy, 
 Schenectady and other adjacent places, have 
 prosecuted the work, is one of the striking 
 evidences of the peculiar character of our peo- 
 ple. The day will come when it will be 
 plainer even than now that all who have been 
 identified with this enterprise will be remem- 
 bered with gratitude and honor. Perhaps it 
 is not viin to suggest that The Canteen will 
 bo one of the principal mediums by which the 
 spirit and history of the Fair will be trans- 
 mitted to future years. The Fair and The 
 Canteen are, indeed, so closely united that 
 he who would preserve the memory of the 
 one must preserve the copies of the other.

 knock a man down and set him up again, it

 he becomes satisfied, then it is all right. (A 
 friend of ours calls this a knock-down argu-

 mensely tickled, while A is very indignant. 
 But if, just at this moment, we give B a 
 scoring, A's Nemesis makes him laugh, and 
 restores him to his equilibrium. The process

 just what we may happen to take a notion to

 and we are not. Even our heel went under 
 the flowing tide, so that we are better oft' even

 We can draw our muscles up to their full ten- 
 sion and let them go with their full force, 
 without danger of being injureil in return. 
 It isn't probable that we shall do this, yet 
 it would be very singular if with all this rare

 cise it a little. Moreover, if your principles

 elsewhere. If you arc a custom house officer, 
 you must patiently bear the onslaughts which

 see him fired at. Whatever we do or say, 
 whether it be to your liking or not, you will

 Some Eeplies to OoiTespondeiits. 
 We find on our table sundry letters, some of 
 which seem to require notice at our hands 
 among these are the following: 
 
 FROM A PENITENT. 
 
 Dear Canteen — Soon after the war broke 
 out, I was applied to by a QuartermastiT to fur 
 nish soldiers' cloth for thirty thousand men 
 and it was hinted at the same time, that I migh' 
 reduce the quality of the article to such an ex- 
 tent, that I could make fifty per cent of profit, 
 thirty-tive of which should belong to me, and 
 the remaining fifteen to the government officer. 
 I gladly embraced these terms and filled the 
 order. Other and moie advantageous contracts 
 were afterwards offered me, with which I 
 closed — so that I finally amassed a fortune and 
 retired from business. 
 
 Of course, I .set up a house in town — a 
 country establishment — a carriage — an opera 
 box — and all that. But having always led an 
 active life, my too great leisure became burden- 
 some, and wanting my accustomed exercise, I 
 soon fell into an indigestion, and was distressed 
 with nerves and spleen, until at length I became 
 troubled with wild dreams and visions in the 
 night, which have destroyed my peace of mind, 
 and made me a most miserable man. I am 
 often transported to the quarters of our armies 
 I see some soldiers shivering in rags, without 
 blankets and exposed to the inclemency of a 
 winter's night ; while others appear to be sick, 
 feverish and delirious, and in their ravings de 
 daring that they have been reduced to their 
 wretched condition, by want of proper blankets 
 and clothing. One poor delicate boy, who 
 looked as if he had been nurtured in a kind 
 home, in his delirium, imagined that he had 
 returned to his mother, whom he thus ad- 
 dressed: "Mother, if you liad only prepared 
 
 my clothes and blanket, I should not have suf- 
 fered so. I was chilled and frozen, and oh I 
 how I longed to be at the old hearth again, by 
 your side ! I thank God, that I am with you 
 at last. Kiss me, dear mother ! " And he 
 died. 
 
 This was too much for the shattered condi- 
 tion of my nerves. I sprang from my bed, 
 paced back and forth in my chamber — woke 
 my wife — startled my child — raved, and 
 cursed the day on which I was tempted to de- 
 part from Integrity in my business. 
 
 I have just seen your prospectus, in which 
 
 you declare that a draught from The Canteen, 
 
 will console and cheer the wretched, in what 
 
 distress soever they may be. I pray you give 
 
 me a draught, or I may never know peace 
 
 again. 
 
 Your suifering 
 
 SHUBAEL SHODDIE. 
 
 We reply ; since you appear to have been a 
 trading character, you cannot object to one 
 bargain more. We propose then, to exchange 
 aur draught from The Canteen, for your draft 
 on your banker for the precise amount you 
 took wrongfully out of the government — the 
 same to be given to the Bazaar. 
 
 There can be no absolution without repen- 
 tance — and no repentance without restitu- 
 tion. The ghost did not discharge his whole 
 duty, if he omitted to toll you as much. And 
 if you do not pay up, may you never rest 
 again, but perpetually exclaim — Shoddy 
 " hath murdered sleep ! " And when at 
 
 length you shall die ; we refer you to 
 
 any orthodox clergyman for the rest. 
 
 FROM A COMMITTEE OF LIQUOR DEALERS. 
 Dear Canteen — Understanding that you 
 have no particular scruples, and your name 
 being to our liking, and we having been 
 deputed to address you, we would like to know 
 what you think of sixty cents on whiskey, and 
 whether you can be had? We frequently get 
 hold of pretty genteel politicians on reasonable 
 terms. What would you consider reasonable ? 
 NAMES ILLEGIBLE. 
 
 Answer — We consider it not unreasonable 
 that that which begot and sustained the re- 
 hellion should be liberally taxed to suppress 
 it; that as whiskey originated the disease 
 and aggravated its symptoms, so it should be 
 made to effect its cure— on the Homeopathic 
 principle, that similiasimitibuscuranticr. If 
 you cannot read Latin, you should not aspire to 
 our correspondence ; but for this time we will 
 furnish you with a correct translation of this 
 maxim. " Similia," being the Latin for 
 "smile" you have a key to the whole thing 
 at once. The translation then would read 
 thus : " Whiskey did it— whiskey cure it— 
 though whiskey curse it." 
 
 A just pride, together with the vagueness 
 of the ofier contained in your note, forbids 
 any further reply. The Canteen is not a jug. 
 
 FROM A TOBACCONIST. 
 
 " Mr. Smith — Do you intend to oppose 'the 
 duty on Tobacco ! If not, I will at once estab- 
 lish an opposition paper to be called " The 
 Canister," and drive you out of circulation. 
 A TOBACCONIST." 
 
 It Payns us to receive this communication ; 
 nevertheless, we must speak our sentiment* 
 plainly in respect of Tobacco. The plant 
 nourishes no created being, save a great green 
 worm, which alone seems to have been de- 
 signed by nature to chew tobacco. To our 
 finite apprehension, the plant seems to have 
 been made for the worm, and the worm for 
 the plant, and it was an evil hour when the 
 relations of this vegetable, were extended 
 further. That all mankind should become 
 tobacco worms, seems to us, a departure from 
 the original design in respect of the plant, the 
 worm and the man — from which the latter has 
 suffered most deplorably. We never can tax 
 the weed too much, for we cannot tax it so 
 oppressively as it taxes us. It dwarfs the 
 body, and causes bronchitis, piles, cancer, 
 consumption, dyspepsia, paralysis, apoplexy 
 and insanity. If you persist in using it, it 
 kills you; and if you leave it off, it kills you. 
 We may be pardoned for speaking feelingly 
 on this subject, since the Smiths have suffered 
 more from tobacco than any other family on ' 
 the face of the earth, for a reason similar to 
 that propounded by the late learned Dr. Mit- 
 chell in answering tlie scientific inquiry, why 
 white sheep ate more hay than black ones ? 
 Because there are more of them.

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 [From our Troy Associate.] 
 
 Troy and the Bazaar. 
 
 The ancient " Cities of the Plain " shared 
 a common fiite. Need we wonder that mod- 
 ern twin Towns, standing like sentinels to 
 guard the meandering Hudson, should " pre- 
 sent arms " and give to each other the Sani- 
 tary countersign 1 One has a Canteen, and 
 the other desires to aid in filling it. We 
 gladly sprinkle into the sparkling cup which 
 " cheers but not inebriates," a few drops from 
 a fountain "up the river." Let us dispose of 
 our " rations," and as each takes a refreshing 
 sip from the Canteen, Troy drinks to Al- 
 bany ! 
 
 There were faint whispers during the early 
 days of the new year, that Albany was to 
 have a grand Sanitary Fair. Little did any 
 one dream then that Troy would prove an 
 ally in the work. There had been rivalries 
 between the two cities in days gone by. Like 
 the wolf and the Iamb (we will not say which 
 was which) they could not drink in silence 
 from the same stream. The battle of the 
 dictionaries was a mere skirmish compared to 
 the contest, whether or not the Hudson river 
 should remain " unabridged," or, like life, be 
 " but a span." Alas ! the pontoons of war 
 have been laid across the stream, and the 
 shores are joined in bonds of sympathy and 
 friendship — sympathy for the " unreturned 
 braves " who picket the Rapidan or guard 
 Tennessee's Lookout — friendship between two 
 cities less than six miles apart and hence 
 joined in a " league." Such a cause as this 
 would have reconciled the " plagued houses " 
 of Montague and Capulet, or made the white 
 and red roses entwine in a loving wreath. It 
 has linked once rival cities in ties of blood. 
 It has dispelled the fog that hung over the 
 valley, as the sun scatters the mists of the 
 morning revealing the noble building that 
 Albany enterprise and taste have erected, and 
 letting a ray of light penetrate to the booths 
 marked " Troy." 
 
 But how was the alliance broiight about? 
 Picture a rather cheerless public room in Troy 
 of a Winter's afternoon, partly filled by some 
 ladies and gentlemen noted for activity in 
 every good cause. The object of the meeting 
 was to decide what the citizens should do for 
 the Sanitary Commission — whether exertions 
 should be put forth for a home fair or in aid 
 of the Bazaar at Albany or New York. Not 
 that Troy had been backward in its contribu- 
 tions towards this great National charity ; 
 less than a dozen cities in the Union had 
 shown a greater liberality — yet "more effort " 
 was the word. It was a foregone conclusion 
 with the meeting that " something must be 
 done," but the practical channel into which 
 these benevolent sentiments were to flow, 
 had to be sounded with that sluggishness 
 common to all movements at their out- 
 
 set. Fortunate for the success of the pro- 
 posed firm of Albany and Troy, was the 
 presence of Messrs. Thatcher, Ilawlcy and 
 Cuyler. They woke up their auditors to a 
 realizing sense of the magnitude of the Al- 
 bany enterprise, and expressed such a hearty 
 desire for Troj''s co-operation, in terms so 
 generous and complimentary, that there was 
 but one sentiment ruling the assembly- it 
 was agreed to share the labors and success of 
 the Army Fair at Albany. The ladies, reluct- 
 ant, as usual, to say anj'thing, resolved by a 
 rising and unanimous vote, to se^o that soldiers 
 might reap the benefit of their labors ; and 
 thus was the work begun. There was a gath- 
 ering, a few days afterwards, to decide, finally, 
 whether Troy should aid its sister city, and 
 the expression was even more emphatic. Not 
 only was the sentiment of goodwill unchanged, 
 but it was found that needles and tongues 
 were already at work. The machinery was 
 moving, and people had better look out for 
 cogs and eccentrics. 
 
 As a rehearsal precedes every play, and the 
 labor of architects, bricklayers, carpenters and 
 furnishers is essential to the completion of 
 every well-appointed building, there remains 
 much to be done on the part of the Troy 
 people between the resolve to co-operate and 
 the performance of the promise. That 
 " much " is now in progress among the Tro- 
 jan community. " Whatever is worth doing, 
 is worth doing well," is the motto actuating all 
 interested. Every day since the first dawn of 
 the enterprise, the 30th of January, has been 
 a day of effort and achievement. Lo ! the 
 result when, on the 22d of February, the six 
 booths at the North end of the East nave, 
 three on each side of the building, shall be 
 filled with Troy's ofierings. One compart- 
 ment will be devoted to art ; the German 
 ladies propose to fill one with their work ; 
 three others are already nearly provided for 
 by the handiwork of ladies of other nation- 
 alities. Large as is the space devoted to Troy, 
 it will in all probability be more than filled ; 
 eligible and flattering as is the location, full 
 justice will be done to the conspicious posi- 
 tion in which the city is placed ; much as is 
 expected of Troy by its friends, its quota 
 under this Sanitarj' call will be more than 
 filled. Its young men will be " drawn " in a 
 pleasing enrollment directing them to report 
 at the Bazaar for duty ; and the young ladies 
 will be wanted, but not wanting. 
 
 Nor is this all. A stirring appeal written 
 by a philanthropic and able city pastor, and 
 published in the columns of the Daily Times, 
 has awakened effort at home. Tableaux ex- 
 hibitions are to be given ; the German resi- 
 dents have announced a concert ; the school 
 children are at work ; all are doing something, 
 even " Judge," the bill-poster. 
 
 As an enduring record of what has been 
 
 already done in Troy, it is only proper to 
 " n.ime names," as far as the committees are 
 concerned, who have taken the responsibility 
 and begun the work. Troy's ofiicial repre-

 When the Sanitary Fair shall have become 
 a thing of the past ; when its gains have been 
 counted and well-applied, its building re- 
 moved, the exertions on its behalf forgot- 
 ten, and its Aladdin-like existence only re- 
 membered among the many glories of the 
 " time that tried men's souls," there will be 
 present in the mind's eye of every one in that 
 " innumerable caravan " that once trod those 
 spacious corridors, the recollection of the daz- 
 zling letters, brilliant even amid so much bril- 
 liance — across one of the aisles which marked 
 Troy's precinct. When even these shall 
 fade away, there will still remain the recollec- 
 tion of a kindly feeling between two sister 
 cities. All else may perish, but this 
 never die. 
 
 men — and the good of all conditions revere 
 
 Our Sick and Wounded Soldiers. 
 
 Our patriot army is not composed of ordi- 
 nary materials. In that portion of the United 
 States from whence it derives its recruits, 
 universal education prevails, the people are 
 supplied in their school districts and towns 
 with libraries, and with a flood of intelligence 
 from the daily and weekly press. 
 
 Our soldiers read and write, and understand 
 the cause of this war, and all that concerns it. 
 They therefore enjoy victory and suffer from 
 defeat, more than any other soldiers on earth, 
 because they know the consequences of both. 
 All their most cherished sentiments, opinions, 
 and hopes, home, country, and liberty, are 
 bound up in victory. By defeat, not glor3' 
 only, but all that they most dearly cherish is 
 lost. It is an army thus constituted that we 
 call from comfortable homes, to brave all the 
 dangers and to suffer all the miseries which 
 wait on war — ; a war waged against us by 
 the most desperate demagogues and tyrants 
 that ever scourged their fellow-men. Who 
 then shall say, that the wants, sufferings, 
 woes and wounds of our brave boys do not 
 deserve all our sympathies, and demand our 
 most earnest and liberal endeavors for their 
 relief? True, that in sustaining our admi- 
 rable political institutions by their arms, they 
 do a great deal for themselves — but no more 
 than they do for us — ; for while this country 
 with its blessed freedom, has been justly call- 
 ed the " the poor man's paradise," it is by no 
 means, as has also been said, " the rich man's 
 hell " — unless indeed he be such a kind of 
 rich man as might be well bestowed there. 
 Our institutions are truly beneficial to all 
 
 and cherish them. We all love our old flag, 
 and before it shall fall, we will all perish to- 
 gether in its defense. But to return to our 
 soldiers — see of what stuff our young Amer- 
 icans are made ! 
 
 John B. Marsh (son of the Rev. Leonard 
 31arsh), living at the South, was coerced into 
 the rebel army. Being a Union man, he de- 
 serted, and on being captured by the rebels, 
 was shot at Vlcksburg sometime last June, 
 He placed a letter in the hands of a friend, 
 which read — : " Kind friend if ever you reach 
 our happy lines, please have this put in the 
 Northern papers, that my father who lives in 
 Maine, may know what I am shot for. It is 
 for defending my noble country. I love her, 
 and am willing to die for her." 
 
 When placed by his coffin, one of the guard 
 said he could speak if he desired. He took 
 otf his hat and cried — " Three cheers for the 
 the old flag and the Union " — ; then swung 
 his hat and shouted at the top of his voice — 
 hurrah ! hurrah! hurrah !" — and fell dead 
 *^''" j under the fire of his executioners. 
 
 Call to mind the spectacle of Capt. Boggs' 
 ship at the capture of New Orleans — shat- 
 tered by the fire of heavy land batteries — 
 her wooden walls broken in — and just about 
 to sink — the brave boys that manned her 
 guns, still playing on the enemy and throwing 
 even a broadside as she made her last plunge 
 with all her colors flying — her crew cheering 
 lustily as she went down ! What heroic spec- 
 tacle on land or sea surpasses this ? 
 
 This war has revealed a nation of heroes, but 
 heroes as intelligent and loyal as they are 
 self-sacrificing and brave. It is for the relief 
 of the sick and wounded of such a gallant 
 host that we plead — nor shall we ask in vain. 
 The great body of our people are generous, 
 grateful, and enthusiastic — and these will 
 give, till the soldiers shall need nothing more. 
 
 There are a few exceptions to this prevail- 
 ing generosity and Sympathy. Occasionally 
 a man may be found, who, not favoring the 
 war, turns away from those who have suf- 
 fered in waging it. Another would turn 
 over the sick and wounded to the Alms 
 house, — the sick and wounded of such as we 
 have described ! Another will not perceive 
 that any case of sickness rises to a point de- 
 manding charity, nor that a man can be so 
 badly crippled by his wounds, but that he 
 might still support himself. If he have lost 
 one arm, he can still do something with the 
 other ; if he have lost both arms, there are 
 his legs still, and he might be useful in some 
 kind of employment. If he have lost both 
 arms and legs, he has still a head and a tongue, 
 and these could be turned to some profit. 
 Such a man is as difficult to fit with a case 
 for charity as Le Sage''s beggar was to be suit- 
 ed with a husband for his daughter. Among 
 
 beggars the poorer one of the profession is 
 in limbs, the richer he is in business — and 
 this is to be considered in making family al- 
 liances. According to the author referred to, 
 one beggar proposed his son with only one 
 arm and a leg, as a match for another beggar's 
 daughter ; but the father of the girl scouted 
 at the proposal saying, — " Why, no longer ago 
 than yesterday I refused an offer of a husband, 
 who had neither arms nor legs, and moved 
 about with his breech in a bowl !"

 (Original.] 
 
 The Dyspeptic Party. 
 
 Those were jolly old times, when, .as d.ay after 
 
 <lay, 
 The choler.i carried its victims away, 
 Gay revelers met, and with laughter and jest 
 And quaffing of goblets, would mock at the pest ; 
 With a song for whatever of ill juight betide. 
 And a hip-hip-hurr.ah for the first man that died. 
 
 But that was a time far jollier still, 
 
 When dyspepsia threatened its thousands to 
 
 kill. 
 And a club of the merriest victims of all 
 Deriantly issued a frolicksome call, 
 That its members should gather iu festive array, 
 'And with gayety chase the grim spectre away. 
 Thus ran the proud summons : " Dyspeptics, 
 
 attend ! 
 " You are ordered together to dine ; to the end 
 "That all who have heartburn, and all who 
 
 have blues, 
 "May their several tortures defy .and abuse, 
 " And in general manage the dickens to pay 
 " With themselves. Aurevoir. Come at six. — 
 
 Saturday." 
 Who could doubt the response ? Could a soul 
 
 st.iy awiiy ? 
 Such a pleastint reunion would certainly pay. 
 To set the foul demon. Dyspepsia, .at naught, 
 And dine as they pleased was a glorious thought. 
 And what though a few might sink under the 
 
 test? 
 C'est egal ; — the survivors should bury the rest. 
 First of all there was soup,— green-turtle, of 
 
 course ; 
 Then came fish, — pickled salmon with anchovy 
 
 sauce ; 
 Then the viands, — some pettitoes served in a 
 
 stew, — 
 With plenty of gravy,— a roast pig or two,— 
 A little fat pork by wiiy of a fry,— 
 And some very tough clams fashioned into a pie. 
 Then the entrees, &c, — a delicate show ; 
 Some hundreds of eggs boiled an hour or so ;— 
 Pickled eels, nuts, hot pastry, welsh^ rabbit, 
 
 hard beans. 
 Corn, cucumbers, celery, crabs and sardines, 
 Lobster-salad and olives in tempting array, 
 And of chocolate cakes a most gorgeous dispfay . 
 And then in succession the drinkables, — first 
 A flow of champagne to keep down the thirst, — 
 Then some tumblers of milk,— after which, in 
 
 the fear 
 That the two might mix badly, some bottled 
 
 spruce beer, — " 
 
 Then of hot lemonade an enormous supply,— 
 And last, but not least, a little old rye. 
 
 So they eat and they drank, and they filled up 
 
 the toast. 
 Vowing death to Dyspepsia ; and making their 
 
 boast. 
 That their foe was a cowardly, treacherous 
 
 knave. 
 With the guise of a king but the heart of a 
 
 slave,— 
 
 Delighting the abject and feeble to slay. 
 But when m.anfiilly met, ever running away. 
 
 But alas for the sequel I The truth must be 
 
 told I 
 The whole of the party were terribly sold I 
 Though with song and with wine they had ban- 
 ished all dread, 
 And with pseans of triumph gone safely to bed, 
 Yet when in the morning their friends looked 
 
 around. 
 Of that roy storing set, not a soul could be found I 
 And a stranger told how, in the silence of night, 
 Wliile lying awake, he had hoard with affright, 
 A yell and a neigh, and the clatter of hoofs. 
 As of troops of dragoons dashing over the roofs ; 
 And it thiis became known, that to punish their 
 
 scoff, 
 A night mare had carried the whole party ofi'. 
 
 as Napoleon could do while in the flesh? This 
 is a very grave matter, which we cannot elu- 
 cidate better, than by relating a case of spirit- 
 rapping which once fell under our observation. 
 At a circle made up of plain people, after 
 the table had got to moving satisfactorily, a 
 woman asked if the spirit of her grandfather 
 was present, who had died five or six years 
 before. A rap immediately responded in the 
 affirmative. She then asked how long he had 
 been in the spirit-land ? There followed a 
 rapping for fourteen years. The enquirer 
 then said: "This is not my grandfather's 
 spirit, for he is all wrong as to the time he 
 has been dead." Her sister replied — "It may 
 be gran'ther's ghost, for all that — for you 
 iinow he always was a dreadful lying old 
 critter." 
 
 Spirits. 
 
 We are indebted to Judge Edmunds for 
 some spiritual statistics, with which he has 
 obligingly furnished us. He n^ports a very 
 interesting case of a spirit's importuning him 
 for some exciting fluid (this is quite in our 
 line), and upon tho Judge's expressing his 
 ignorance in what manner to communicate it 
 to him, having never heard of The Canteen, 
 the spirit promptly answered — •" Do you im- 
 bibe it, and I will take it through you !" The 
 Judge, being of an easy temper, and in no 
 wise averse to the fluids, obligingly complied 
 with this suggestion. 
 
 Judge E. has experimented of late with the 
 spirit of Napoleon the first, and has become 
 as intimate with him as he was formerly with 
 Lord Bacon. They slap each other on the 
 shoulder, and call each other John and Nap — 
 do the Judge and the Little Corporal— m 
 their delightful interviews. Well, on a late 
 occasion, the Judge determined that he would 
 ask the great warrior what he thought of 
 some of our military performances — and they 
 discoursed thus : 
 
 Judge E. "Bull Run?" 
 
 Nap. " The animal by wrong extremity." 
 
 Judge E. " Manassas ?" 
 
 Nap. " Greatest victory recorded before 
 my time." 
 
 Judge E. " Peninsular campaign ?" 
 
 Nap. " Beats Wellington's." 
 
 Judge E. " Change of base ?" 
 
 Nap. " Equal to my Russian." 
 
 Judge E. " Great ?" 
 
 Nap. " Grand — ^very !" 
 
 Judge E. " Imbibe ?" 
 
 Nap. " No — Mercie — Stomach — St. Hele- 
 na — poison — sacrer .'" 
 
 This, if genuine, we consider of immense 
 importance. But can we feel sure that this 
 was the spirit of Napoleon ? If so, that gets 
 rid of one doubt ; but another at once arises. 
 Was the spirit dealing candidly with the 
 1 Judge, or rather making free with the truth, 
 
 N. Y.' Legislature. 
 
 Mr. Filkin.^ has given notice of a bill for 
 the pacification of Albany, east, west and cen- 
 tral — including the Central Railway — Lime- 
 rick, Greenbush, Kenwood, Normansville, 
 Troy, east and west, including the Horse 
 Railroad, Schenectady, Cohoes and Lansing- 
 burgh, and the consolidation of the same in 
 one grand fraternity — to take effect this day. 
 It is understood that the Lobby (of the Ba- 
 ^aar) has already priced each party to the 
 proposed arrangement, ignorantly placing 
 Limerick at the lowest figure in the row, 
 which is contested by ICenwood ; and Albany 
 at the highest, while it is asserted that she 
 can be outdone by Trey. 
 
 ^^" The author of the New Gospel of 
 Peace has been canonized, as we hear, and is 
 to be known henceforth as St. John the Second 
 for his exposition of Consuvutism, wherein he 
 showed the amazing reasonableness of the 
 same by the words and figures quoted, to wit : 
 
 " Now the Consuvutives were they which 
 when they had got into hot water, stayed 
 there, that they might not be scalded." 
 
 The Tayler is said to be already engaged 
 on the Ascension robes of the new Saint, 
 which are to be made so as to be worn with 
 over(h)all's. 
 
 U^* A Philadelphia lawyer writes, us: 
 "The old public functionary is no — where. 
 In his extremity, The Canteen, filled with the 
 fluid he loved, was put to his lips. He feebly 
 murmured ' too late,' and was understood to 
 add, a la Randolph, We-morse,^ or 'Prof. 
 Morse' or words to that effect." 
 
 Our Solictor-Genekal. — Mr. John S. 
 Dickerman, who occupies the post of Solicitor- 
 General in our Cabinet, has been doing ines- 
 timable seivice. He has beeu " going, going," 
 among the business men of the city with great 
 success, as our advertising columns show. He 
 deserves his universal popularity.

 "THE CAi>TEE;\." 
 
 The Inauguration of the Bazaar, 
 
 The Bazaar opened last evening under the 
 most brilliant auspices. The spacious edifice 
 was crowded to overflowing, and its splendid 
 illummalion together with the artistic ar- 
 rangement and adornment of booths and 
 goods, rendered the scene one of dazzling 
 beauty. The inaugural ceremonies were emi- 
 nently appropriate. The music was such as 
 might be expected when under the direction 
 of Thomas S. Lloyd, and rendered by so large 
 and efleotive a chorus. The address of Gov. 
 Seymour and the poem of Mr. Street will be 
 published in our issue of to-morrow. The fol- 
 lowing is the excellent address of President 
 Thacher : 
 
 Eemarks of Mr. Thacher. 
 
 Ladies and Gentle.iie.i, Fellow Citizens and 
 Fellow CoUNTuy.MEN: 
 
 The 22d day of February, from its associa- 
 tion with the name of Washington, was 
 fittingly chosen by our Executive Committee 
 as the day for the formal opening of the Army 
 Relief Bazaar. Could that great man be 
 raised from the dead and stand before you 
 this evening, methinks the spectacle he would 
 
 witness, and the purpose for which we have 
 assembled would call from his lips an appeal, 
 in behalf of the sick and wounded soldiers of 
 our army, which no eloquence could surpass 
 and which the most obdurate heart could not 
 resist. "Would he not entreat you by all the 
 high and lioly considerations which actuated 
 him and his compatriots in their efforts to 
 achieve our liberties, to do all in your power 
 to cheer the hearts and nerve the arms of the 
 gallant soldiers who, under God, now hold the 
 destinies of our country in their hands? who 
 are soon to decide, and to decide forever, the 
 mighty question whether our national life is 
 to be preserved or to be destroyed ? Would 
 he not remind you that, on several occasions, 
 the array of the Revolution came near dis- 
 banding on account of its sufferings, and that 
 even his own stout heart often faltered with 
 the fearful apprehension that it might be 
 goaded to that fatal resolve? Would he 
 not tell )'0U that there is no depression so 
 appalling as that which the soldier feels when 
 he is conscious that he is neglected by those 
 for whom he perils his life ? If then you 
 would inspirit and incite him to noble deeds, 
 let him know that in the workshops of our 
 cities, villages and towns, in the houses of our 
 farmers, in the dwellings of the poor as well 
 as in the palaces of the rich, there are millions 
 of busy fingers, moved by thoughts of him, at 
 work providing for his wants. Let him know 
 this, and he will never prove a coward nor 
 waver in the performance of his duty. Even 
 the moral effect ujttin the army of one demon- 
 stration like this, to say nothing of its material 
 results, is of more value than a hundred times 
 its cost. When the war broke out our Gov- 
 ernment, like the other governments of the 
 world, was incumbered with an antiquated 
 system of medical and sanitary regulations 
 totally inadequate to the necessities of our 
 army. 
 
 That system seems to have been based on 
 the assumption, that if government provided 
 a medicine chest and a person educated in the 
 circumlocution or red tape office to dole out 
 its contents, and another to saw off wounded 
 limbs, nothing more would be needed or re- 
 quired. But the soldier needs the minor pal- 
 liatives and restoratives which relieve his 
 
 pains and aid him in his recovery, and he 
 needs their prompt and speedy application. 
 To meet the exigencies of the occasion, and 
 to supply these radical defects, was the object 
 of the United States Sanitary Commission, 
 and right nobly has that organization per- 
 formed its office. Promptly on the ground 
 at the outset of the war, it has from that day 
 to this acted the part of the omnipresent 
 physician. It has assisted in the arrange- 
 ment of the soldier's camp, with a view to the 
 preservation of his health ; it has visited him 
 daily in his tent, followed close in his foot- 
 steps when he has been on the march, ready 
 to care for him when he sickened or fainted 
 by the way ; has received him in its arms 
 when he has fallen bleeding on the battle-field, 
 and has nursed him in the hospital with 
 scarcely less than a mother's watchfulness. 
 Statistics show the fruits of its operations, in 
 the fact that the percentage of deaths from 
 sickness and wounds, compared with all for- 
 mer armies, has vastly diminished. Let it be 
 borne in mind that this great life-saving in- 
 stitution is a new feature in war, and will, no 
 doubt, lead to a most salutary reform in the 
 military organizations of other countries as 
 well as that of our own. To those excellent 
 women, the Sisters of Charity, and to Florence 
 Nightingale, who in the Crimean war followed 
 their example, we are indebted for the hint, 
 but to the Sanitary Commission will belong 
 the credit of carrying that hint to a successful 
 execution. I trust that Governor Se3'mour, 
 who is present, will pardon me for making a 
 statement in this connection personal to him. 
 Since his accession to office, he has not only 
 aided the Sanitary Commission by repeatedly 
 sending agents to co-operate with it on tho 
 battle-field and in the hospital, but he has 
 done a noble work outside of our military 
 lines which entitles him to the lasting grati- 
 tude of both the army and the people. At his 
 instance and through his exertions, a place of 
 refuge has been established in the Citj- of New 
 York for invalid soldiers, who may be absent 
 from the army on furlough or by discliarge, and 
 for those who, while on furlough, become vic- 
 tims to their own imprudence or to the wiles of 
 others. Nearly sixteen thousand of these 
 unfortunate men have been taken from the

 cars, the steamboats, and from the streets, and 
 cared for in that institution. Many have been 
 restored and returned to the army, the per- 
 manently disabled forwarded to their homes, 
 while the bodies of those who hare died have 
 been decently buried or delivered to their 
 friends. This institution is still in successful 
 operation, a blessing to the country and an 
 honor to the man by whom it was founded. 
 These facts, fellow citizens, heighten the 
 pleasure with which I now introduce to you 
 His Excellency Horatio Seymour, Governor 
 of the State of New York.

 Confederate Congress. 
 
 Richmond, Feb., 18G4. 
 
 Mr. Foote introduced a bill regulating the 
 table fare of first class hotels, and prescribing 
 that a dinner for one person shall not consist 
 of less than one boiled egg, a slice of bread 
 three inches square and half an inch thick, 
 with a glass of water. 
 
 Mr. Pryor gave notice that at some future 
 day he should introduce a bill amending the 
 law of homicide, and providing that in case a 
 white man killed a negro, they should hang 
 two foreigners. 
 
 A communication was received from Mr' 
 Emtyjar, the Treasurer, asking permission to 
 sell the safe in his office, together with three 
 chairs and an old broken tabic ; suggesting 
 the conscription of his clerks, and a " ticket 
 of leave " for himself. 
 
 The President {Mr. Jeff. Davis) sent in a 
 message (which was read with one-half of a 
 double door closed, the other half being off 
 the hinges), the purport of which was, that 
 a man was always the poorer for being poor; 
 that the more of this sort of money they put 
 into their pockets, the less food they put into 
 their stomachs ; that the more victories they 
 won, the nearer they were to a total rout ; 
 and the more soldiers they conscripted, the 
 fewer they had in the field. 
 
 He referred to the report of the Treasurer, 
 which showed that their money was worse 
 than self-righteousness ; and to the report of 
 the war office, which proved that where one 
 soldier was caught by conscription, two popped 
 out by desertion. He concluded by recom- 
 mending a day of fasting and prayer ; also that 
 trade hereafter, on the part of the Confede- 
 rates, should be conducted by theft — and be- 
 tween private persons on credit and by 
 barter — and that the women of Dixie should 
 now be impressed. 
 
 Mr. Quattlebum, of Soulh Carolina, moved 
 an address to the President, eulogizing his 
 moral and religious beauty — and asking for 
 his photograph and a lock of his hair — also 
 when he had concluded to start and where he 
 meant to go. The debate on the address was 
 highly excited, in the midst whereof " the 
 Beast Butler " was announced as not only 
 invading the sacred soil, but within two hours' 
 march of the rebel Mecca ! And now, when 
 two words were spoken of the beauty of the 
 President, twenty were uttered against the 
 Beast Butler. So that between " The Beauty 
 and the Beast," confusion was confounded, as 
 was also our reporter, who further saith not.

 THE CANTEEN. 
 
 Feb. 23. 
 
 The Canteen, 
 
 There's an old battered friend swinging free at my 
 
 Bide, 
 Whose fatehaa with mine for long years been allied, 
 He's not handsome to view, as may plainly be 
 
 seen, 
 Yet I well know his merits — my faithful Canteen- 
 
 In the march, in the glare of a summer's hot sun, 
 ■When worn with the weight of the knapsack and 
 
 gun. 
 Oh 'twas pleasant to halt 'neath the sheltering green, 
 And find a cool drop in the cheering Canteen. 
 
 At night, on the picket, when darkness came down 
 And shut out the stars with its blackening frown. 
 When the rain chilled the marrow, still, still there 
 
 has been 
 A life-givuig warmth in the friendly Canteen. 
 
 ■VThen gathered in tent, tired, dusty aud worn, 
 
 Expecting the foe ere the breaking of morn. 
 
 More refreshing was sleep, those few moments, I 
 
 ween. 
 When it followed a draft from the hearty Canteen. 
 
 And then when we looked on the on-coming foe. 
 And knew that for us or for them there was woe. 
 Ere we rushed where would soon be a blood- 
 sprinkled scene 
 New courage we found in the gallant Cimteen. 
 
 But my comrades, you know, we have sometimes 
 
 abused 
 The means which for good should alone have been 
 
 need 
 And too oft have been found in that state called 
 
 "between," 
 From loving too fondly the charming Canteen. 
 
 Still my old battered friend, as you swing at my side, 
 
 I cannot forget that "we both have been tried, 
 
 And though sometimes found wanting, you never 
 
 ■were seen 
 Attached to a coward— my brave old Canteen. 
 
 ■ Our first number sold rapidly. Busi- 
 ness men who are wide awake will send in 
 their advertisements at once. 
 
 The subscription price for the whole series 
 of twelve numbers has been fixed at one 
 dollar. Arrangements will be made by which 
 the paper will be sent to the residences of

 American remedy 
 carrying the world by 
 storm. Over five millions 
 of lioxes are sold annu- 
 ally. Composed entirelv 
 of Flowers, Roots, Bal- 
 sams and Extracts — their 
 etfect on the human sys- 
 tem is pleasant, satisfac- 
 tory and successful. Act- 
 ing directly on the I)lriod, 
 glands, solids and lluids of 
 the body, their use is at- 
 tended with the happiest 
 eifects. In sudden attacks 
 
 of diseases, one or two 
 
 doses almost always cures. In old staudmg cases 
 of sickness, small doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the system that good health is the result. 
 No change in employment or diet is necessary. 
 They never cause sore mouths, swelled joints, ach- 
 ing limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. They are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the money will he 
 refunded. "They are considered cJieaper, ssifer, 
 pretier.and in alf respects superior to any purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In manv cases, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all appearance no human means could save life, 
 patients have, by the use of these Pills, been re- 
 stored to good health ; the devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 In consequence of the pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion they are universally used in every section of 
 our wide extended country where they are made 
 known, and are fast superseding every other prepa- 
 ration of professed similar import. Upwards of forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from their use, since the introduction of them in*o 
 the United States, thus establishing the fact beyond 
 all doubt that Herrick's Pills cure the (apparently) 
 most opposite diseases by tlie one simple^ict of con- 
 tinually evacuating the bowels until the di(?eaBe 
 gives way ; therefore, whatever may be said of the 
 Theory, the utility of Practice is iiow beyond all 
 doubt." 
 
 Cip" The discoverv of coating a Pill with sugar, 
 emanated with Dr. Herrick. All others are counter- 
 feits, and, if used, will do harm, and disappoint the 
 sick. Herrick's Pills are elegantly put up, lin in a

 Herrick's Kid Strengthening Plasters. 
 
 The Great Strengthcncr and Pain Destroyer. 
 
 The Best and Cheapest Household Remedy in the 
 
 World. 
 
 These renowned Plasters cure pains, weakness, 
 and distress in the side and breast, in five hours. 
 Indeed, so certain are they to do this, that the pro- 
 prietor warrants them. Spread from resin, balsams 
 and gums, on beautiful kid leather, renders them 
 peculiarly adapted to the wants of females and 
 others. Their application is universal — equally to 
 the strong man, the feel)le woman and the delicate 
 infant 'To each and all they will prove a balm .and 
 a blessing. 
 
 Their use is agreeable, and without annoyance 
 
 or trouble. Each plaster will wear from one to 
 four months, and in rheumatic complaints, sprains 
 and bruises, frequentlv effect cures when all other 
 remedies fail. Full du'cctions will be found on the 
 back of each. Public speakers, vocalists and minis- 
 ters of the gospel, and others, will strengthen their 
 lungs and improve their voices by wearing them on 
 their breast. Price 18^ cents.

 ALBANY, TUESDAY, FEB. 23, 1864. 
 
 The Graces of the Bazaar. 
 
 The rich and vivid imagination of the 
 Greeks represented the .lir and the earth as 
 peopled with fair and delicate creatures, to 
 whom they gave the name of Nymphs. Some 
 dwelt upon the wild and rugged mountains, 
 some among the vales of Thcssaly, and still 
 others frequented the springs and flowing 
 streams. They were young and beautiful, 
 and the legends a.ssigned them to important 
 and responsible duties. The Greeks had. also, 
 their Graces, the youthful goddesses, who pre- 
 sided over social enjoyment, and directed all 
 that contributed to the attractiveness of life. 
 
 What the Nymphs and Graces were to the 
 mythology of the golden age, the fair ladies 
 are to the living realities of the Bazaar. They 
 people its realms, and throw around them the 
 genial influences of their own sweet natures. 
 They occupy its haunts, and their bland 
 smiles irradiate every department. In the 
 work of preparation they have done what wo- 
 man only can do. Their ready fingers twined 
 the wreaths that overhang naves and transept. 
 Night after night, with zealous fidelity, they 
 transformed the halls of Agriculture and Ge- 
 ology into a May-queen's dominions, where 
 the seeds scattered about budded and blos- 
 somed into the full grown flower. Their quick 
 minds planned the work which has made 
 drawing rooms of their booths, and procured 
 the materials which fill them. Under their 
 restless activity an unsurpassed refectory has 
 grown up, which draws the hungry and 
 thirsty with its sightly and savory charms. 
 In all the nameless and endless details which 
 are necessary to perfect a work of sach colos- 
 sal proportions as the Bazaar, they have been 
 foremost and untiring, shrinking before no 
 difiiculty, stopping at no obstacle, but press- 
 ing steadily and earnestly forward, bent only 
 on affording the sick and wounded soldiers of 
 the army of their country the largest amount 
 of aid and comfort. 
 
 Attractive at all times, they are doubly at- 
 tractive as they appear at the Bazaar. How 
 can we look, without becoming both hungry 
 and thirsty, at those who stand behind the 
 refreshment tables — themselves arrayed in 
 their uniform and becoming apparel, their 
 tables laden with the good things of the land ? 
 And as they respond to our request, can we 
 help feeling that we have as fair a cup bearer 
 as that celestial assemblage to whom Hebe 
 
 and Ganymede passed the flowing nectar ? 
 We quaft' the contents of the cup, and we 
 drirk in, also, the charms of those who min- 
 ister to our wants ; and we come away re- 
 freshed by what we have partaken, and 
 elevated by the influence which has uncon- 
 sciously wound itself around us. 
 
 Not less are we drawn to those who in 
 their booths, clothed in appropriate costumes, 
 ofter the articles of their respective nationali- 
 ties. It would not be diflBcult, as we pass 
 before these mimic nations, to imagine our- 
 selves successively among the mountains and 
 lakes of Scotland, on the level meads of Eng- 
 land, in the picturesque scenes of Ireland, 
 with Holland's gables and dykes, under Italy's 
 fair sky, and among the landscapes and cha- 
 racteristics which distinguish Spain, France, 
 Germany, Russia, Switzerland the Orient, and 
 even remote Japan. Vieing with the repre- 
 sentatives of these nations, are those who oc- 
 cupy our own national booth, and those who 
 come from other places to add to the beauty 
 of the scene. The general type of beauty is 
 higher in some nations than in others, but 
 here the peculiar characteristics soften down, 
 and, if we may so speak, we have the sifted 
 wheat of all. 
 
 The ladies are engaged, also, in other de- 
 partments. Some act as penny-posts, and 
 such penny-posts never before presented mis- 
 sives and so easily secured the postage. But 
 it is impossible to name all the interests with 
 which they are identified. They have en- 
 tered into every department, and their infec- 
 tious spirit has spread everywhere. Their 
 cultivated taste, their quick discernment 
 have hit upon a thousand things which con- 
 tribute to the general efiect. They have been 
 as faithful to the sick and wounded soldier as 
 Penelope was to her lord, and when lie re- 
 turns to see in its fullness the devotion of 
 which he catches glimpses, and receives the 
 evidence, in his hospital retreat, he will shower 
 blessings upon the heads of those to whom he 
 is so largely indebted. 
 
 KA-CHUGS. 
 
 g^"A handsome horse hasjust been present- 
 ed to Geu. Beauregard. We suppose this is the 
 steed which is destined to be watered in the 
 Tennessee or in — a certain profane place. The 
 General's promise to water his horse in the 
 former was broken, for reasons entirely be- 
 yond his control, and as he always rigorously 
 keeps his promises, he must accept the latter 
 alternative, which, in fact, is likely enough 
 without any special promise. 
 
 11^" We had the pleasure the other day of 
 seeing Lieut. Brownell, the avenger of Ells- 
 worth, in the Military Department of the 
 Bazaar. He will assist Col. Doty in superin- 
 tending it, and is himsel'' an important acqui- 
 sition to its stores. 
 
 Mr. Thi'rlow Weed of this city, than 
 whom no man has more laudably striven to 
 find out the author of Junius, but who, 
 like other seekers after this important truth, 
 finds — 
 
 "The moment you liad pronounced him one, 
 
 " Presto ! hie place changed, and he was another." 
 
 And that — 
 
 " Now Burke^ now Tooke, he grew to people's fancica, 
 " Aod cerles often like Sir Philip fyancis.\ 
 
 has at last been happily delivered of 
 all doubt on the subject. He has carefully 
 compared the writings of Junius with the 
 most elaborate and polished articles of this 
 paper; he has traced a most remarkable re- 
 semblance between the style of these articles, 
 and that of certain papers published in the 
 last century by our venerated grand-parent, 
 Mr. Ebenezer Sinifh, — a resemblance so great 
 indeed that it could have ariseu in no other, 
 way, than by^transniis^ioi^iaa (l^ect llne,\^a4 
 by inheritance — and putting these things to- 
 gether, and imbibing liberally from The Oan- 
 teen, he has yielded all his former theories, 
 and determined to announce his final conclu- 
 sion — which is — That the author of Junius is 
 to he found in the Smith family of The 
 Canteen ! In his great work which will soon 
 follow after this discovery, the motto of 
 Junius will be changed to " Smith nominis 
 Canteenum." Mr. W. did not fail to advise • 
 Mr. Seward of his grand conclusion, who has 
 communicated it ofBcially to Lord Lyons, a.i\d 
 the intelligence is now on the wings of the 
 lightning to the Court of the Queen. 
 
 ^p" We hear again of religious revivals in 
 the rebel camp. At several diflerent periods 
 during the war, the rebels have had refresh- 
 ing seasons of the same sort. Jejf. himself is 
 among the chief of the converted sinners. 
 This dodge shows that he and the rebel 
 leaders have studied the campaigns of Crom- 
 well, and mean to imitate them, .seeing what 
 good fighting may proceed from religious en- 
 thusiasm. But the rebels are by nature better 
 adapted to — and by practice more expert in, 
 swearing than in praying ; whereas Crom- 
 well's soldiers were genuine puritans. God- 
 fearing and psalm-singing, before they took 
 to war. 
 
 They were not knaves, who used religion 
 as an instrument of war ; the latter was 
 the instrument of their religioji. Praise-

 Ghost Jones, were not first mustered by these 
 names on the roll of the army ; they had been 
 conferred on them at the holy font, and their 
 religion, their name and their cause were sub- 
 stantial realities, and not the trick of an 
 Artful Dodger. 
 
 Jeff'. Da'iis will by-and-by see the differ- 
 ence between Ororawellian religionists, fight- 
 ing for civil and religious freedom, and his 
 poor creatures, scourged to service in a bad 
 cause, and scared by artful villains, with pious 
 whimpering in camp. 
 
 According to Dii Chaillu, slavery exists 
 in Africa, dating long anterior to the foreign 
 slave trade. Most of the slaves enjoy consi- 
 derable liberty, and cannot be sold out of the 
 tribes to which they belong. Their masters 
 are not severe with them, and the domestic 
 slave is never sold at the coast unless he has 
 committed a crime. 
 
 It is said that Jeff. Davis has offered to en- 
 graft the humane slave code of the African on 
 the Confederate Constitution, rather tban re- 
 linquish slavery ; and that in case he shall do 
 so, the Last Conqueror of lUexico, who is 
 rather particular about his associates, will 
 consent to maraud and rob in his company. 
 
 When our army was at Sliiloh, a poor 
 old pious negro came into camp, whose habit 
 it was to indulge in a long prayer at bedtime. 
 Our soldiers were greatly amused at the 
 style of his petitions, which he always wound 
 up by asking the Lord " to bress the d — n 
 Yankees ! " He had never heard the Yankees 
 named among the slaveholders without this 
 prefix, and seriously believed that it properly 
 belonged to them. And it does not? 
 
 !^° The editors in Dixie are bitterly de- 
 nouncing Jeff. Davis for taking away their 
 exemption from military duty. This is a con- 
 clusive proof of their disinterested devotion 
 to the Confederacy, and is quite right, as it is 
 plain enough that Jeff. Davis, even with his 
 unexampled powers, could not without their 
 help.lie hard enough to inspire his subjects 
 with any confidence. 
 
 Somebody suggests that this paper, 
 instead of being called The Cant-een, should 
 be called The Cant of Smith. An enthusias-

 THE PRESIDENT OF TllK UNITED 
 STATES, through the Secretary of State, liav- 
 ing generously donated to this Bazaar (wliich 
 is to be held at Albany, in the month of Febru- 
 ary, A. D. 1864, in aid of the Sanitary Commis- 
 sion for the benefit of our Sick and Wounded 
 Soldiers) the origin.lI draft of Iiis FIRST EMAN- 
 CIPATION PROCLAMATION, dated September 
 22d, A. D. 1862: the undersigned,. a SpecLil 
 Committee appointed for that purpose, hereby 
 give public notice that the said Proclamation 
 will be sold by issuing a series of Tickets, duly 
 numbered from One to Five Thousand, at One 
 Dollar for each Ticket. The number of Tickets 
 issued not to e.\ceed Five Thousand, but the 
 issue may lie limited to any les.s number in the 
 discretion of the Committee. The drawing to 
 be made by putting the various numbers or 
 names of the purchasers of Tickets sold in the 
 s.amo wheel used by the Provost Marshal of the 
 14th Congressional Di,<tr'ict of the State of New 
 York, in making the draft of soldiers for said 
 District. The holder of (he tir.st Ticket drawn 
 will be entitled to the Proclamation. 
 
 The Proclamation is iu the proper hand- 
 writing of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Pn-sident of 
 the United States of America, excepting two 
 interlineations in pencil, made by William H. 
 Seward, Secretary of St.ite, and the formal 
 heading and ending of the document, which 
 are in the hiindwriting of the Chief Clerk in 
 the office of the Secretary of State. It is writ- 
 ten «n one side of four half sheets of foolscap 
 paper, and c,in be seen and examined either in 
 the Bazaar Buildings, or in the Office of the 
 Superintendent of the Insurance Department, 
 in the State Hall, Albany. 
 
 This Proclamation is, in the opinion of the 
 Committee, an autographic and historic trea- 
 sure of more interest and importance even, than 
 the Proclamation of January 1st, 1863, which 
 was only the necessary sequence of the Septem- 
 ber Proclamation. 
 
 Tickets can be obtained immediately by en- 
 closing One Dollar for each Ticket, with name 
 arid residence, to WILLIAM BARNES, Chair- 
 man of the Committee, Albany N. Y If anv 
 of our friends iu Great Britain wish to compete 
 for this valuable document, a contribution of 
 Four Shillings sterling will give one chance for 
 it; and all sum.s realized for exchange over 
 One Dollar per Ticket, will, if desired, be given 
 in shares to the British Museum. Mr. T. H. 
 Barker, No. 41 .lohn Dillon street, Manchester^ 
 is solicited to act for Great Britain.

 Strong Minded Men and Women, 
 
 TVo doubt whetljcr a strong minded man 
 makes a bettcu- husband, llian a strong minded 
 woman does a'wife. Shakspeare lived greatly 
 apart from " Anne Halhaway "; and Dick- 
 ens, — who was called "the Shakspeare of 
 our age," until he sided with Jeff Davis, when 
 the "speare" was omitted, and he was called 
 only " S/iak — e" — , has imitated his great 
 namesake. Fine genius, we lament to say it, 
 seems to be seldom attended with those tame 
 and homely qualities, requisite for a good 
 husband. A man, properly endowed for a 
 husband of the first class, bears the same re- 
 lation to a man of genius, that an ass, (we 
 speak' philosophically) does to a race horse. 
 lie will carry greater burdens, but he is plain 
 and slow, and not particularly good looking. 
 Your genius is for the race-course, diminished 
 at the ear, with a vast superiority in grace 
 and speed. Examples are not wanting in 
 proof of this. Swifl, if a husband af all, was 
 a sad one ; and it is lucky that Pope was not 
 put into the matrimonial harness, for he 
 would assuredly have kicked up. Boling- 
 broke was either a bad husband or had a bad 
 wife ; Burns could have been improved in a 
 domestic point of view ; while Byron was 
 clearly not made to walk his chamber half the 
 night, tending Miss Milbanke's mathematical 
 offspring, while in the process of cutting teeth. 
 It is true, that Sam Johnson had a dry old 
 stick for a wife and did not abuse her, but he 
 had not genius enough to qualify him for a 
 bad husband ; but the divine Milton was ter- 
 ribly tried by matrimony, and became very 
 eloquent in his papers, concerning the liberty 
 of divorce. 
 
 It has long been considered, in our family, 
 that the sainted Socrates was a bad husband, 
 and that modern Greece, when she reversed 
 the sentence of death pronounced against him 
 more than two thousand years ago, did not 
 complete the work of justice in respect of his | 
 family, which can only be done by reversing 
 public opinion respecting his wife, the much 
 maligned Xantippe. We feel assured that 
 this lady was of a sweet and happy temper, 
 before she was galled by the chains of matri- 
 mony. Certain Ancient Manuscripts, re- 
 cently brought to light and now on exhibition 
 at the Bazaar of the Capitol — he'ing Ntimber 
 795-1 of the Curiosity Shop, conclusively 
 show, that the marriage of Xantippe spoiled 
 her temper, as hath happened to many a 
 sweet angel since her time. It did not re- 
 quire this manuscript to show, that in point 
 of personal appearance Socrates was an ex- 
 ceeJhigly ugly man, and by no means calcu- 
 lated to please the eye of any lady ; and 
 Xantippe did not marry him for his physical 
 beauty; but as she was as good as she was 
 Bweet tempered, and as he made great profes- 
 sions in the line of virtue, her roung imagina- 
 
 tion was captivated by his imputed goodness — 
 she was, in fact, governed by the Greek 
 maxim — ," handsome is as handsome does " — 
 and became enamored of his moral beauty. 
 
 But lovers and philosophers must eat — and 
 neither love nor philosophy will provide for 
 the physical wants of man, which are nume- 
 rous and urgent, and Socrates was a shocking 
 bad provider for a family. He was — we speak 
 it reverently, and according to Webster — a 
 sort of loafer — seldom at home — never split- 
 ting oven wood, or helping to churn, or to 
 tend the babies ; and as he was too poor to 
 keep a servant, his wife had to cook, wash, 
 and bake for the family, and was a perfect 
 domestic drudge, while he was idling about 
 the streets, barefooted, putting queer ques- 
 tions to everybody, and arguing everybody 
 down about ever}' thing under Heaven. His 
 drift seemed to be to prove that nobody 
 knew anything but himself. He never came 
 home except to his meals, and did not even 
 then thank his poor wife for her labor in pre- 
 paring them, but would endeavor to prove by 
 argument, that work was good for her, and 
 that she did not do much after all. On these 
 occasions he would argue her down, and then 
 she would look sour, as what woman would 
 not? The associates of her husband, being 
 a set of idle street walkers and speechificrs, 
 seeing her only in these moods, reported her 
 as of a bad temper, and thus she has been 
 maligned down to the present daj'. Perhaps 
 also, another circumstance worked greatly to 
 her prejudice. She could not endure Plato, 
 her husband's favorite disciple, and said 
 openly, that his philosophy was as unnatural 
 and as barren as his loves ; — for which we can- 
 not help .iccounting her a very sensible woman 
 
 The Bazaar Manuscript further shows 
 (what the ancient writers did their best to 
 cover up,) that Socrates courted the society 
 of a woman, who would Mt have been re- 
 ceived in any but fashionaWe coteries, in any 
 virtuous age; and when Xantippe mildly re- 
 monstrated against this highly improper inti- 
 macy, he endeavored to prove by his extra- 
 ordinary method of argument, that the lady 
 in question, was more useful and more pleas- 
 ing to both gods and men than his poor wife, 
 because she added more to the sum of human 
 happiness ! Upon this, Xantippe raved ; and 
 we are now enabled to give her exact words, 
 translated from the Bazaar Manuscript by 
 the learned Principal of the Albany Female 
 Academy ; — as follows — , 
 
 " I wish I was dead — and that you were 
 married to this strong minded woman — and 
 that she would argue you to death !" 
 
 Much maligned Xantippe ! This was the 
 height and breadth of thy offending ! And 
 we now submit to an enlightened posterity, 
 whether such a death would have been worse 
 than that by the Hemlock, — considering how 
 Socrates liked to argue !

 The tollowing poem hap, we believe, ap- 
 peared in print before, but it was read only 
 by a few individuals, and has been furnished 
 to us for wider circulation : — 
 
 Secession. 
 
 AN AMERICO-LATIN POEM, 
 
 Scripturn compositumqne a Janiore iitodam^ iUustri 
 
 Musaruvi fiiio. 
 
 A NOTE TO THE READER : 
 
 A3 the accent in Auiti^ricun Latin is variable, 
 the reader may use the syllables, in this poem, 
 short or long, ad Uhilum. Let him only be 
 careful to get the octagonic jingle of tlie metre 
 right. Sometimes a sliort syllable is used long, 
 and a long one short, for the sake of emphssis. 
 Besides, tn'o long ones are several times used 
 for one short one, licenlia poctica. Genius 
 kuoweth no law. 
 
 THE METRE ! 
 
 The metre of this poem is the Amphibious 
 Sapphic, renowned for its elasticity. The short 
 syllable at the end of a line is optional, as well 
 as any other in the middle. Each line is a 
 Splitstrophicus :

 Secession, boys, I'll tell you now, tngenio profit ndo, 
 Secession is, by Jove, not new, in hoc damnaio (1) 
 
 muiido. 
 Before Creation herself was made, ct terra hcec 
 
 creata^ 
 There was Secession all agog, ah oinni re amata. 
 " Fly !" saith the Lord, " ye heavens Hy, ab infcro 
 
 scparetitr^" 
 *' And let the earth remain alone, singulatim pre- 
 
 parctiir!" 
 And scai'cely was this " Quos ego!" a Domino 
 
 proclamatum, 
 When Heavens flew, and earth remained, nt crat 
 
 ord'tnatum ; 
 And this, methinks, was the first example seccs- 
 
 sionis grandis, 
 
 Ubiquc im /latum kinc, no matter what the land is, 
 
 Ut modus opihnissimus a nohis adoptatus 
 
 Whene'er the Devil of Dissent has fairly once got 
 
 at us. 
 
 Oh, Tom and Dick and Harry, 
 
 Nonne nunc scitis, guare

 Oh, Harry,

 The first man what seceded was a woman; 'tis no fib; 
 You know her omnes ; 'twas old Eve, she that was 
 
 first Miss Kib. (2) 
 She and her Adam were scarcely made in Iwrto 
 
 pa r ad i si, 
 Ambulantes tunc in DominOj quite happy, free and 
 
 easy, 
 •When Eve got tired of her lot, ad arborem accedit, 
 Et pomum apprekendens tells her Adam dear to 
 
 eat it. 
 Adamus erat fool enough to do quod Eva dixit, 
 And with that bite his good old soul diabolo 
 
 inscripsit. 
 Both ate the Apple of Discord then, ut est ?iunc 
 
 nomiiiandutn, 
 And were thus cursed with all their kin, quod erat 
 demonstrandiim. 
 
 And Harry, Dick and Tom, oh ! 
 Videtisnc, pro porno 
 Damnata jamjam ovinia, 
 Secessionomania? 
 Oh, Tom, oh!

 What in those most remotest times, ?w quihus erat 
 
 Adam, 
 In parodiso did to us old Eve, our great grand 
 
 Madam, 
 That- has in his temporibus Carolina now done 
 
 on us ; 
 
 The Tree is this our Union, Adam est Buchananus. 
 Carolina took an apple off, et Buchanano dedit ; 
 But hie nvii erat such a fool ut Adavi, nee come.d<t; 
 He bit in it and found it sour, et mox n terrain Jecit, 
 And there it lies to spoil and rot ; nil melius 
 
 unquam fecit. 
 Had Adam also, cool and calm, not swallowed tarn 
 
 rclociicr, (3) 
 
 We would not all have stomach ache tam male et

 Non ventm est quod dice ?

 Oh, Dick, oh!

 MORAL : 
 
 Raw apples, since old Adam's bite, make malavi 
 
 digestionem — 
 
 Thus everybody ought to think, before he bites one 
 
 on 'em ! (4) 
 
 Oh, Dick see! 
 
 Quid dixi ? 
 
 PERORATION : 
 
 Our modem apple-tree contains triginta quatuor 
 
 poma, 
 Of which, each is a "glorious" state, respublica

 But oh ! its branches are all decked with rattlesnakes 
 
 fravdulenter ; 
 Therefore, tall watchman, with thy rails, run 
 
 quickly to the center, 
 And smash the heads of tlie treacherous beasts 
 
 ovinino corrnmpcntes^ 
 And split them well pro patria. macta omnes

 And then let ring the chorus loud alborum et

 The Inauguration of the Bazaar, 
 
 SPEECH OF GOVERNOR SEYMOUR. 
 
 Governor Seymour, who, on being intro- 
 duced to the assemblage, was loudly cheered, 
 said: 
 
 Upon a day sacred to the memory of our 
 greatest and purest statesman, upon a spot 
 made famous by historical incidents, we meet 
 for a purpose which appeals to our liveliest 
 sympathy. It is fit that the capital of a great 
 State, which furnishes so large a share of the 
 armies of our country, and which is so nu- 
 merously represented amid the sick and 
 wounded of our hospitals, and among the 
 graves of our battle fields, should be promi- 
 nent in efforts to soften the calamities of war. 
 Upon this occasion the historical events con- 
 nected with this city and the adjacent towns 
 are brought back to our memories. Albany 
 is the oldest city in the thirteen original 
 colonies, and, with the exception of St. Au- 
 gustine, in Florida, the oldest town in our 
 Union, for the earlier settlement of James- 
 town, in Virginia, had ceased to exist as a 
 municipality. Before the pilgrims landed 
 
 upon Plymouth Rock, and before the founda- 
 tions of our great commercial metropolis were 
 laid at the mouth of the Hudson, a trading 
 post was established at this point, and for 
 years it was the most important commercial 
 place within the limits of our State. 
 
 It is not to iis antiquity and to its long 
 continued identification with the interests of 
 our country to which I wish to call your 
 attention, but to some incidents in its- history 
 recalled by the occasion which draws us to- 
 getlier. In 1690, in this month of February 
 — 174 years ago — there came a midnight 
 cry for help from the burning town of Sche- 
 nectady, and the panting messengers who 
 came alung the pathways leadingfrom Albany 
 to that city, which ran along by the very spot 
 upon which we stand, and told of the massacre 
 of its inhabitants, by Indian savages and their 
 French allies. The alarmed citizens of this 
 place hurried to the protection of Fort Frede- 
 rick, which stood on this ground ; and the 
 ancestors of many of those who I see before 
 me, whose names are still familiar in your 
 social circles, in your churches and in your 
 public organizations, met to devise measures 
 of relief for the sick, the suffering, the wounded 
 and the dying of a neighboring town, and to 
 adopt measures for the support of those who 
 should go out to combat against the savage 
 enemies. Many of their descendants bearing 
 those ancient and honorable names, meet here 
 to-night for a kindred purpose. 
 
 That long lapse of years, and those far re- 
 moved generations, at this moment seem 
 freshly linked together by this coincidence of 
 place and purpose. 
 
 A little later, another event occurred within 
 this city, of still greater significance, and still 
 more closely connected with this occasion. 
 The people of the difi'erent Colonies, living 
 under distinct governments at the outset, 
 were estranged from each other. Separated 
 by distances which at that day were overcome 
 with difficulty, made up of those of different 
 nationalities and conflicting creeds, there was 
 among them but little intercourse, and no 
 concert of action. Alarmed by a threatened 
 combination of savage tribes whicli menaced 
 the safety, if not the existence of the Colonies, 
 they sent delegates to a Convention held in 
 'this city. Benj. Franklin was its presiding 
 ofiScer. This was the first distinct movement 
 to a union among the Colonies, looking to 
 strength and protection from united counsels 
 and combined efforts. 
 
 Thus Albany became the birth-place of our 
 Union. In God's name, then, let it be up- 
 held and chferished here. The first time that 
 the Stars and Stripes were ever displayed 
 upon our national banner — the first time that 
 its emblems of state sovereignties and na- 
 tional unity were ever given to the winds of 
 Heaven — the first time that that flag was 
 
 ever displayed which now kindles the en- 
 thusiasm and patriotism of the American in 
 whatever part of the world he may see it, 
 and whose folds, in devotion to its sacred 
 import, a million of men have battled within 
 the last three years — that flag was first borne 
 into the dangers of the batile-field in the 
 defense of this city. It was also first used to 
 defeat an effort to divide the united colonies. 
 For the purpose of gaining possession of the 
 line of the Hudson River and the control of 
 Lake Champlain, the British Cabinet devised 
 a combined movement upon this city. Its 
 fleets were to ascend the Hudson — its savage 
 allies, under St. Ledger, were to come down 
 the valley of the Mohawk, its disciplined 
 armies, under Burgoyne, forcing tlieir way 
 along the upper Hudson, were to meet the 
 co-operating forces at this point, and thus 
 sever the Eastern Colonies from the rest of 
 our country. The point to be reached by 
 this great combined movement was the spot 
 upon which we stand. This most formidable 
 attempt upon our national existence was de- 
 feated upon the plains of Saratoga, and the 
 three-fold attack upon Albany was bafHed 
 and defeated. It was in that battle of Sara- 
 toga that our national flag was first used. If 
 we regard then the object for which we are 
 assembled, and the relationship which that 
 object bears to the union of our country and 
 its glorious flag, we find that the associations 
 which cluster around this spot are all in fit 
 keeping, and well calculated to excite our 
 interest and our enthusiasm. 
 
 The objects of those who have eng.iged in 
 this enterprise are charitable. Those who 
 meet here hold conflicting views with regard 
 to the affairs of the country ; we differ widely 
 with respect to the policy of government, but 
 whatever these difterences may be, there can 
 be no doubt as to the duty which rests upon 
 us all, to care for the sick, to relieve the 
 wounded, to comfort those in prisons. Who- 
 ever has visited a battle-field when the fear- 
 ful strife is over, may feel, but he cannot tell, 
 how much relief is given by the simplest act 
 of charity, how a cup of cold water has re- 
 ligved that intolerable anguish from thirst, 
 how a little shelter from a burning sun, or 
 protection from a driving storm, can save a 
 life which trembles upon the verge of exist- 
 ence. The smallest contribution to this pur- 
 pose may, perchance, coming at the opportune 
 moment, do a work of charity and benevolence 
 which at other times a fortune could not do. 
 But aside from this direct relief, who can 
 foresee what other good may spring from the 
 influences of a kindly charity, how it may tell 
 upon the morals, the patriotism, and the tone 
 of our army. Nay more, who can say that it 
 may not save our national existence, perhaps 
 when the wisdom of cabinets and statesmen 
 fail. When war may make ineffectual sacri.;

 fice of blood and treason, it may be that acts 
 of charity like these, seeking out the wounded 
 and the dying upon the battle-field, when the 
 struggle is over and passions are hushed, and 
 helpless foeraen lie side by side, when every 
 trace of rage and enmity has passed away and 
 common suffering brings again fraternal re- 
 gard, who can say when at such a time as 
 this your agents go forth over this terrible 
 scene of strife and bloodshed, and forgetting 
 all diflerences, see only siifl'ering humanity 
 before them, giving relief alike to foeman and 
 to friend, who that believes in christian charity 
 and christian truth, shall say that these things 
 may not again bring peace to our laud, restore 
 our Union, and give us back unimpaired the 
 Government which our fathers framed. 
 
 The brightest and kindliest virtues grow up 
 strangely in connection with the violence and 
 horrors of war, as the brightest, freshest 
 flowers flourish upon the very edge of the 
 everlasting glacier. The virtues of gentleness 
 and charity have ever been strikingly con- 
 nected with martial life, indeed the courtesies 
 of life are mostly traceable to the usages of 
 camp. 
 
 The very dangers of the battle field com- 
 pels an observance of acts of courtesy, of 
 kindness and protection. Beyond all other 
 men, the soldier values the virtues of mercy 
 and gentleness. When the Saviour hung upon 
 the Cross, when Priest and Pharisee mocked 
 His sufferings, of all who looked on, a soldier 
 alone discerned His Divinity when he heard 
 Him pour forth a pra3'er for his enemies. 
 
 Woman, withdrawn from the conflicts which 
 bewilder and distract the counsels of those in 
 public life, and free from the passions and pre- 
 judices which disturb the minds of men, look 
 with sadness and sorrow upon events which 
 carry mourning into their houses. With un- 
 tiring devotion they have filled this ample 
 Hall with evidences of their taste, their in- 
 dustry and their skill. Theirs is no discrimi- 
 nating charity. Upon the battle field or in 
 the hospital, they see only suffering fellow- 
 beings. There it knows no foeman. 
 
 It is fit that this city, thus associated with 
 many of the most glorious incidents in the 
 history of our country, should be among the 
 foremost in a work of Christianity, of hu- 
 manity and patriotism. Above all is it fitting 
 that woman should thus come forward to 
 show that she is ready and anxious, by kind- 
 ness and love, to soften the horrors and 
 ravages of war. It is becoming, too, that 
 neighboring cities, laying aside all feeling of 
 rivalry, should thus generously aid in this 
 work. 
 
 Thereupon, in pursuance of the invitation 
 of your Committee, and as Chief Magistrate 
 of the State, I do dedicate this edifice to the 
 great purposes of patriotism and charity, and 
 I ofl'er the fervent prayer to Almighty God 
 that it may not only relieve the sick and 
 wounded, but by its gentle influence may 
 touch the hearts of those in rebellion : that 
 it m,iy aid in bringing back peace to our land", 
 restoring our Union, giving new life and vigor 
 to the Government of our fathers, and making 
 us again a great, united, prosperous and 
 happy people. (Cheers.) 
 
 Dr. Holmes says, that there are two 
 things which everybody must have^ — bread 
 and a newspaper. If this be so, they must be 
 approaching a famine in Dixie, as they have 
 only thir{y-five dailies in the whole Confede- 
 racy — partly brown paper at that. 
 
 Poem, 
 
 BY ALFRED B. STREET. 
 
 To soothe man's heart by sin and sorrow riven, 
 A sky-born Triad God has kindly given 
 Full of all joy, Faith, Hope and Charity, 
 And the bright last, the brighlist of the Three. 
 Child of Compassion, she stands nearest Him, 
 Whose great compassion that no cloud can dim, 
 Pillars our path to guide ns from our ban, 
 And so by prophet-lips He told her truth to 
 Man. 
 
 For self alone her radiant sisters bloom — 
 Hope to sustain us, Faith to star our gloom ; 
 But she ascends on self, and far and wide 
 Seeks but to know her blessiugs to divide ; 
 Turns from the blossom to the bitter thorn. 
 To dreariest midniglit from the cheeriest morn ; 
 While the effulgence by her presence shed, 
 Brightens the scene where'er her blessed tread, 
 Wakening the rose upon the thorn, with light 
 Of her starred home, illumining the night ; 
 With the sweet dew-drops melting from her 
 
 heart. 
 Bidding in arid wastes the flower and fountain 
 
 start. 
 
 Thus where her brightening, wakening foot- 
 steps wend. 
 Pain knows its balm, the friendless find a friend ; 
 In the dark alley joy succeeds to wo — 
 The shivering garret feels a fireside glow ; 
 And as she blends the effluence of the Three, 
 God in the gloom she rouses Faith to see — 
 On her firm anchor Hojie again to lean, 
 And so she walks the earth and sheds her 
 angel sheen. 
 
 If thus she yields her blessings to the race ; 
 Wreathing with Plenty's smile Want's pallid 
 
 face ; 
 Checking the orphan's cry, the widow's tear; 
 Softening the couch of suffering with her cheer ; 
 Brightening the clouds that hourly veil our 
 
 view ; 
 Casting a gleam o'er sorrow's usual hue ; 
 Far sweeter, holier beams her living light. 
 Kindling the cause that crowds these walls to- 
 night ; 
 Cause of the hearts that stood at duty's call. 
 Front to the foe, a rock-hewn, hnman.wall, 
 Till by war's lightning darts of dire disease, 
 A shattered wreck a saddened nation sees — 
 Sees but to aid, for as they bared the brow. 
 In need our hearts shall rally round them now.- 
 Man shall send forth in kindliest cheer his store. 
 And woman's pity heaveuliest blessings pour ; 
 In childhood's prayer their names find nightly 
 
 rest, 
 And the whole nation fold them in her breast. 
 
 Now as we view these wrecks of battle's wrath, 
 Let peopled memory tread a backward path ; 
 Brief in its years, in sufl'ering, oh I how long ; 
 Lurid with dread and dark with gloomiest 
 
 wrong. 
 To where the South — a crouching tiger — glared 
 With front all foaming and with fangs all bared, 
 At the great North that reared his presence o'er, 
 With brow unshadowed, but with eye that bore 
 In doubt and wonder on the threatening sight, 
 And though unready, calm in conscious might. 
 
 Hark ! a sound rings along the startled air — 
 Hath the fierce tiger Founded from his lair ? 
 Again the roar ! and see, the banner bright 
 Kindling the dark, Hope's sole and struggling 
 
 light, 
 Torn from on high and trampled in disdain, 
 And one fierce arm now rends the fold in twain. 
 While one in thre.it is lifti-d at the North ; 
 As when the mountain tempest dashes forth. 
 Red with its lightning, roaring with its blast. 
 Till the wide scene in chaos wild is cast — 
 So whirled the North ; but now, swift, mighty, 
 
 grand, 
 God's spirit moved across the quivering land ; 
 Quick the wild chaos into shape was orbed 
 Whose living lustre every heart absorbed, 
 
 While endless anthems scaled the welkin's 
 
 height. 
 Where love of country shone and showered 
 
 magnetic light. 
 
 Spirit benign, oh, love of native land ! 
 For thee, the sword leaps flashing to the hand ; 
 For thee, long death is one brief smile of joy. 
 And loftiest thoughts their loftiest powers em- 
 ploy. 
 What though stern Winter chains the crouch- 
 ing clime, 
 Warm glows the bosom in thy fire sublime ; 
 Soft luxury's slave that sleeps amid his flowers. 
 Leaps to the foe and battles through his bowers ; 
 Age for thy sake will cast his crutch aside ; 
 Youth for thy love renounce his new-made 
 
 bride ; 
 The widow's heart unloose the boy, to dare 
 War's flaming thunders hurtling through the 
 
 air; 
 All round thy heavens thou sweepest fondest 
 
 glance. 
 Holy thou boldest all thy earth's expanse, 
 Daunting the despot, fain to see unfurled 
 His crimsoned banner o'er a conquered world. 
 Leaving glad Peace to plant the harvest gold, 
 Rear his loud roofs, the sea's wide stores un- 
 fold. 
 Lead civilization in its grand emprize, 
 And riiise man's nature to his native skies. 
 Thus, through the North the thundering shout 
 
 arose. 
 Life to our laud, destruction to our foes. 
 Lift the starred banner — hare the battld-brandl 
 Death to our foes, but life to native land ! 
 Then, as the tempest bursting on the hills. 
 Turns to wild torrents all the trickling rills, 
 So as the tumult throbbed o'er hill and plain, 
 Leaped the live floods, and roaring, swept 
 
 amain. 
 Up, with one bound, New England towered on 
 
 high. 
 Loud to the heavens New York launched might- 
 iest cry. 
 The Keystone's bayonet glittered on the air, 
 Broad to the fight the Buckeye's breast stood 
 
 bare. 
 And the whole grand unconquerable West, 
 Quick to the van, in war's wild frenzy prest, 
 While as the strong wind rattles through the 
 
 trees. 
 The burst of banners ladened every breeze. 
 As looked the South, she saw the rising cloud 
 Blackening and blackening, ruin's threatening 
 
 shroud ; 
 Shook on her ear, a stern, foreboding hum. 
 The wrathful rolling of the northern drum ; 
 Cut on her eye, one keen, portentous light. 
 The northern war-swords flashing into sight; 
 Did for one moment the Magnolia quail. 
 As howled the Pine its challenge down the gale ? 
 Did the starred Cross an instant lose its hue, 
 As its far spears the roused Aurora threw ? 
 Oh that the heavens had flashed some sign of 
 
 fear 
 To daunt the foeman in his mad career I 
 Then still had Peace with blessing pinions 
 
 fanned 
 The smiling bosom of a happy land 
 And all been bright; but to high Heaven alone 
 Its mighty plans and righteous ways are known. 
 
 As the maimed hero meets our sorrowing eyes 
 War's changeful pictures on the fancy rise. 
 
 Morn breaks — fall in — the long-roU sounds — 
 
 fall in — 
 The foe — the foe — quick, with that battery win 
 The ridge ! forward brigade 1 you line advance I 
 On Kearney bravest of the brave 1 your glance 
 Is like a cannon flash ! on Hooker ! sweep 
 The foe at double quick 1 on, Sumner, leap 
 With the quick lightning of your deadly corps 
 Full at their heart I swift, Meade, your column 
 
 pour 
 On yon dense square ! ha 1 those keen yells ! in 
 
 flank 
 Fierce Longstreet comes ! close up ! close up 
 
 the rank !

 Wheel up the guns — unliiuber — open now ! 
 Ha 1 the rod lanes those shares of battle plough I 
 Now for the bayonet charge I liurrah I they tly 1 
 They fly, they scour like leaves of Autumn's 
 
 sky I 
 Now, Stoneman, launch your thunderbolt of 
 
 horse I 
 Hurrah I a hurricane of cheers I the course 
 Speed from glad Union hearts I our Eagle towers 
 Wing to the sun for victory's wreath is ours I 
 
 The moonlight smiles ; but, oh I the woful sight ! 
 Ah, the dread horrors of the battle-night I 
 The sky's soft silver sleeps on man and steed, 
 The dead and dying I check your step I take 
 
 heed ! 
 This bleeding boy! a gray sire near him lies, 
 T)ie moonlight glittering in liis stony eyes, 
 Strewed all around, guns, broken cannon wheels, 
 And piles of death ; the heart with horror 
 
 reels ; 
 And fleeing from this field, of slaughter's reign, 
 Lets the moon's quiet steep the scene again. 
 
 And now the Hospital's sad gates expand, 
 And send their cry for succor through the land ! 
 The soldier moaning on his pallet, calls 
 And he who in despairing prison walls 
 Famine's keen, gnawing, burning horror knows ; 
 Oh bitter agonies ! oh myriad woes ! 
 From the broad hapless hand, could all your 
 
 cries 
 For instant help, be blent, the pitying skies 
 Surely would bend and weep sucli tender dew 
 That angel-tears would seem soft dropping 
 
 through. 
 
 And angel-hearts have risen ; not now the rush 
 Of fiery man Rebellion's life to crush, 
 But woman, ministering spirit, stands, 
 Heaven in her presence, heaven's gifts in her 
 
 hands, 
 Bending not only o'er the couch, where lie 
 All shapes of wo, but, with uplifted eye. 
 Pointing the land, with heart .aroused, to see 
 Waiting her welcome, wing-spread Charity. 
 
 And thus our loved old city bids .arise, 
 
 Like morning's mist, these walls before our 
 
 eyes I 
 Growth of an hour I and now a fairy scene. 
 Quick with its life, and dazzling with its sheen ; 
 Spoils of all climes shall shine profusely here, 
 All that can flash from fancy's sunniest sphere. 
 Wrought from fine skill or born from happiest 
 
 thought. 
 Caught from quick moods, or in slow labor 
 
 taught. 
 Flag, drapery, picture, gem and statue .all, 
 Steeping in myriad colors, roof and wall. 
 
 Sign of our land's Kaleidoscope of race, 
 Here with its gifts shall every clime find place. 
 First of this radiiint sympathizing band 
 Shines our own realm, our noble native land! 
 Reared on our beating hearts, she towers o'er 
 
 all 
 While pleading glances on her children call. 
 The star-gemmed blue for endless Union glows, 
 The red and white, death, terror, to her foes ; 
 Cling in her sorrow to her glorious side 
 And in her coming victory share her pride ! 
 
 Holland's proud motto links her to our land, 
 And like us, holding it with tongue and brand ! 
 Eendracht maeckt macht ! tai with it prond 
 
 and free, 
 Her bosom's dyke has back dashed fortune's 
 
 stormiest sea. 
 
 Sisterly Russia smiles in furred attire ! 
 
 Her heart in need, warmed ours with kindliest 
 
 fire! 
 And over nearer but more distant lands 
 Good wishes glide across our bridge of hands. 
 
 Old England, firm ancestral griisp extends! 
 Mother to child ! Auld Scotia's tartan sends 
 Her greeting too, an' gars ye weel to ken 
 C loch an' brae an' bluebell, holm an' glen ; 
 While Erin's shamrock in full blossom shows 
 How, heart in hand, her generous ardor glows. 
 
 Then Italy in every charm arrayed, 
 And Switzerland, the bold, free mountain maid ; 
 France, graceful, courtly ; proud romantic Spain ; 
 Dreaming Germania, witli her mystic brain ; 
 With pearl-lmng lud, the Orient darkly bright. 
 All in one picture wrought and dazzling wide 
 the sight. 
 
 Hail, too, this d.iy ! for by it Heaven 
 Sent down a fleshly splendor 
 
 Whom, to our fall'n but struggling race, 
 Its loftiest type should render. 
 
 Earth's mightiest souls toil up, and work 
 
 At best some faint evangel. 
 But he stooped down — his duty wrought. 
 
 And then resumed the angel. 
 
 He bore upon his d.auntless breast 
 
 The burden of a nation. 
 His pulse gave life-beat to its heart, 
 
 His mighty arm salvation. 
 
 No marble tomb for him ! his fame 
 Shines whiter, more supernal. 
 
 And age to age will hand it down 
 In life and bloom eternal. 
 
 The earth has one Niagara, 
 
 The sky one central glory ; 
 And man can bo-ast one Washington, 
 
 And our land cLaims his story. 
 
 And his grand spirit with our land. 
 In love holds close communion, 
 
 Nerves every arm, fires every heart, 
 In struggle for the Union. 
 
 Oh long did our Eagle st.and chained to his 
 rock ! 
 
 But at last with a wing-burst of thunder-like 
 shock — 
 
 Red bolts in his talons, red wrath in his gl.are. 
 
 And death in his wild shriek, he sprang to the 
 air; 
 
 Ne'er back for a moment that pinion he drew. 
 
 But onward, right onward, right onward he 
 flew! 
 
 One bolt shone at Shiloh, at Donelson one. 
 
 And one maiJe grand Gettysburg flash as the 
 sun ; 
 
 While the last lightning launched from his ter- 
 rible quiver 
 
 Made Lookout a beacon of glory forever. 
 
 Each region wherever he sweeps is his own. 
 
 And straightway from out its foul shade it has 
 shone — 
 
 Shone out with, its freedom of tongue, pen and 
 press, 
 
 Those earth-stars that shine for our race but to 
 bless ; 
 
 And ne'er sh<all he pause, till, proud down- 
 ward he swings, 
 
 To slake in the Gulf his free triumph-clad 
 wings. 
 
 And loud alleluias shout wide as the blast. 
 
 That the day of true glory hath risen at last. 
 
 And now, in a vision prophetic, the eye 
 Views earth and air glowing in magical dye. 
 The sunset of Time ! earth's millenial light — 
 See, what is that grand, golden shape on the 
 
 sight — 
 Our Nation, with Time in companionship's link, 
 And reaching together Eternity's brink.

 American remedy is 
 carrying the world by

 efleet on the human ays-

 tni-y and succe.ssful. Act- 
 iii'T directly on the blood, 
 Inlands, solids and Hnidsof 
 the body, their use is at

 eHuctH. In sudden attacks 
 
 of diseases, one or two 
 
 do«'s almost always cnres. In old standing cases 
 of Biiknrss, small" doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the syHitem that good health is the result. 
 No change in employment or diet is necessary. 
 They never cause sore mouths, swelled joints, ach- 
 ing limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. They are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the»nioney will be 
 refunded. Tliey are considered cheaper, safer, 
 pretier. and in all" respects superior to any pm-gatiye 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In many ca.Res, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all appearance no human means could save life, 
 I>atients liaye, by the use of these Pills, been re- 
 stnrt'd to good health ; the devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 In consequence of the pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion they are uniyersally used in every section of 
 our wide-extended country where they are made 
 known, and are fast superseding every other prepa- 
 ration of professed similar import. Upwards of forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from their use, since the introduction of them into 
 the L'niled Stati-^, thus establishing the fact beyond 
 all doubt th:it llerrick's Pills cm-e the (apparently) 
 most oppnr^iti' diseases by the one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the bowels until the dit-ease 
 gives way ; therefore, whatever may be said of the

 the strong man, the feeble woman and tlie delicate 
 infant. To each and all they will prove a balm and 
 a blessing. 
 
 Their use ia agreeable, and withoot annoyance 
 
 or trouble. Each plaster will wear from one to

 and bruises, freqiiently efl'ect cures when all other 
 remedies fail.* Full directions will be found on the

 Bronchitis, Minister's 
 sore throat, ottensive 
 [\ dit^charge from the 
 liead, hoarseness, irri- 
 tation of the mem-

 medy is smoked iu a 
 common pipe, and 
 blowing the smoke out 
 of the nose, producing 
 a delightful sensation, and imparting an agreeable 
 odor to the breath. It is so simple that it maybe 
 used bv a child ten years old. Being slightly exhil-

 taxed with business cares, relieving it so as to in- 
 duce sweet and refreshing sleep. 
 
 Tobacco smokers may mix a small quantity of it 
 with their tobacco, an'd thus obtain the medicinal 
 effects while enjoying their favorite luxury, and also 
 a fine aroma to the breath.

 EDITED BY 
 
 MR. SMITH. 
 
 ALBANY, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 94, 1864. 
 
 The OpeniBg Night. 
 
 We had not time to refer at any length, or 
 with any degree of justice, in our issue of 
 yesterday, to the inaugural exercises of Mon- 
 day evening. If the Bazaar i=hall he as sue 
 cessful in its progress and termination, as it 
 was auspicious in its opening, our city and 
 vicinity will have abundant reason to be 
 proud of its contribution to the Sanitary 
 Commission, and gratified at the magnificent 
 exhibition of its enterprise. 
 
 We print on another page the excellent ad- 
 dress of Gov. Seymour, and the beautiful 
 poem of Alfred B. Street, which were crowded 
 out of yesterday's issue. Of the music we 
 ought to say, in addition to what we have 
 already said, that it delighted everybody. 
 Miss M. F. Morgan's dedicatory ode, set to 
 music by Mr. W. H. A. Beale, was rendered 
 bj' the powerful chorus in the most efi'ectivc 
 manner. Messrs. Beale and Carraody pre- 
 sided at the pianos. The solos were sus- 
 tained by Mile. La Jeunesse, Miss Isabella 
 Palmer, Miss Mary E. Hoag, Mr. S. W. 
 Whitney, Mr. J. Ernest Perring and Mr. J. 
 N. Cutler. The whole, under the superin- 
 tendence of Mr. Thos. Spencer Lloyd, was a 
 most appropriate and important feature of the 
 exercises. 
 
 What a world of life and spectacles that 
 opening night presented ! The eager and en- 
 thusiastic thousands, astonished at the revela- 
 tion of beauty which was made, wandtred 
 about in bewilderment and wonder. This 
 beautiful and lovely fairy-land, which 
 they so greatly admired, had grown up 
 in a moment. As it was opened on 
 Monday night, blazing with brilliancy, its 
 innumerable lights gleaming under arches and 
 wreaths of evergreens, and among the fantas- 
 tic colors of the nations blended in exquisite 
 harmony, with music, and eloquence, and 
 poetry fitly inaugurating the scene, it seemed 
 like the creations of oriental legends. But if 
 the fairy-land was so magnificent, what shall 
 we say of the fairies 1 They seemed to have 
 come from their own appropriate regions, bent 
 on a fairy frolic, to show the world how they 
 could take its own characters and improve 
 upon them. As they appeared in the turban 
 of the Turk, in the queue of the Japanese, 
 in the jaunty costume of the Swiss, in the 
 suggestive robes of the North, in the plaids of 
 the Highlands, in the appropriate garments of 
 
 the Italians, Spaniards, Dutch, and in the 
 habiliments of Liberty, they were indeed a 
 beautiful sight. We shall speak of these 
 matters more fully when we come to give a 
 description of the Bazaar. 
 
 News Items, 
 
 Our Gilmore's been to Florida and took 
 the rebel beef, whereat the hungry rebels are 
 with tears expressing grief; and Longstreet's 
 hordes from Knoxville are retreating lean and 
 lank, because the Union general is a spurring 
 of their flank. And a hundred Union ofiScers 
 who got tired of Libby prison, have levanted 
 from Jeff Davis, and renounced him and his'n, 
 and done what no one else has done, through 
 mud and slush and rain, successfully com- 
 pleted a" peninsular campaign ;" and Sherman 
 down in Georgia, who puzzled simple folk, has 
 won the game he played there and euchred 
 General Polk. 
 
 The State street cars most carefully have 
 trundled up the hill, which we hope they'll 
 keep a running, bringing grist into our mill. 
 The Schoharie folks are coming, not by dozens 
 or by load, but by car fulls, at the half price, 
 on the Susquehanna Road, which we hope 
 the rest will imitate (the roads regarding 
 price) and that all the Greenbush neighbors, 
 at that rate, will cross (he ice. We've enough 
 to show and sell them when we once have got 
 them here, to keep their eyes wide open the 
 the remainder of the year, and their pockets 
 quite as empty as a Richmond grenadier. 
 And when we've shown them all the sights, 
 and relics of our brave, if hunger gnaws their 
 vitals, then with victuals we will save, by 
 quickly pointing out the path that leads to 
 western nave — where above is festooned 
 beauty in the gas-lights brightly flashing, 
 while below the hungry multitude their teeth 
 are madly gnashing; and then if they're not 
 satisfied with all that they have seen, we will 
 present to every one a nice and new canteen 
 
 FOR TEN CENTS. 
 
 Some account for Judge McCunn's 
 abbreviated fingers by his encounter with 
 pirates, but the better informed attribute 
 them to mortification at not succeeding by a 
 larger majority over such a fellow as Bos- 
 worth ! 
 
 KA-CHUGS. 
 
 It was the subject of geueral remark, 
 that Troy made a beautiful display on the 
 opening night of the Bazaar. Our Trojan 
 friends are winning golden opinions by their 
 energy and liberality. 
 
 The enthusiasm with which Schenec- 
 tady, Saratoga Springs and Kinderhook, have 
 entered into the spirit of the Bazaar, is highly 
 creditable to those places. Their booths are 
 tastily arranged and well stocked. 
 
 The North bore up pretty well under 
 the adversities of the war, and even main- 
 tained a tolerable degree of self-respect after 
 the capture of Manassas by Gen. McClelland 
 but when Lieut. Maury, the great scientist, 
 declared that he despised us, we felt, as we 
 had educated him at our own expense, the 
 full value, or rather the cost of his opinion. 
 
 We understand that the following 
 bill is before Congress : 
 
 " West Point is hereby abolished ; but this 
 act does not affect Cozzen's Hotel. " 
 
 The mover of this bill, esteeming that in- 
 gratitude is the greatest moral offense, and 
 treason the highest legal one — for both of 
 which West Point Academy is a standing 
 monument — conceived that its destruction 
 would have a tranquilizing effect on the moral 
 sensibilities of the nation. " We concur," 
 and especially in the exception of Cozzen's 
 Hctel, which, regarded as an institution, is 
 most Canteenly. 
 
 The Duke of Alva, who had burned wo- 
 men, buried them alive, and disemboweled 
 them, was at length so reduced by neglect 
 and a particular disease, that his accursed life 
 could only be prolonged, by his drawing 
 nourishment from a woman's breast, nursing 
 at it like an infant ! In like manner the 
 rebels' appeal for help in their final extremity 
 will be made to the despised negro, whom 
 they have hitherto deprived of all but life. 
 We think we see Dinah with little Jeff, the 
 Confederate infant, at her bie.ist ! 
 
 The Ancients fed the infants which 
 were to become their future rulers, with the 
 marrow of Lions ; but this was a rare and ex- 
 pensive diet, which, by the discovery of Ame- 
 rica and the Potatoe with it, has been 
 completely superseded in our time. 
 
 Bishop Gen. Poi.k must have imbibed his 
 Christianity in some institution like the 
 leoccoli of the Aztecs, ot it may be he mixed 
 a little too much whiskey with his morality, 
 for the good of either, since his soldiers report 
 him as having said : "If you find any trouble 
 in taking care of prisoners and wish to dis- 
 pose of tliem in any other way, I will not 
 scold you I 
 
 What self-denial, for a general in petticoats 
 not to scold !

 THE CANTEEN

 The British are very hard to please. 
 They prey on us because we trade too much, 
 and on the Chinamen and Japanese, because 
 they trade too little. 
 
 Judge McCunn when young and on the 
 high seas, was caught by a pirate, and com- 
 pelled to serve some time with his captors. 
 He, however, cast off his unwelcome associates 
 at the earliest opportunity, and rose to the 
 dignity of the Superior Court. The wags say 
 that the pirates made him " light fingered " — 
 he having had several fingers of one hand cut 
 off in his encounter with them. 
 
 The great question wliich agitates 
 the mind of the British public at present is, 
 whether our glorious Irving was really in 
 love with Miss Foster ? This lady, a rather 
 stale belle at tlie present time, insists that 
 she was irresistable in her palmy days, and 
 that Irving was among her " sick and wound- 
 ed." But if this be true, as he recovered by 
 force of his own stamina, lived long afterwards 
 and died before our Bazaar was instituted, 
 we must decline jurisdiction of the ease ; and 
 precedent permits us to add that the lady in 
 question does not appear to possess any 
 charms " which we are bound to respect." 
 
 Jeff Davis has views on the Pope, and is 
 said to be studying " A visit to his Holiness 
 by Father McGuire," to the end that his 
 masses, his theology, his Latin and his refresh- 
 ments, may prove satisfactory at the Vatican. 
 Jeff will succeed with all but The Canteen ; 
 in respect of that, owing to the limited re- 
 sources of Dixie, he will never be able to cope 
 with Father McGuire or us. 
 
 Worms. 
 
 Mother — Do you think, Doctor, there is any 
 danger of my child having a return of those 
 frightful convulsions ? Can you do anything 
 to prevent it ? 
 
 Doctor — I think. Madam, 1 can promise you 
 that the child will recover. The convulsions 
 are caused by worms, and I am about to ad- 
 minister a medicine which will destroy the 
 worms, and then, I hope, your child will be 
 well again. 
 
 Father How is that Doctor 7 Destroy the 
 
 worms ! I called you here to cure my child 
 and not to kill worms. 
 
 Doctor — You misunderstand me ; I say the 
 convulsions depend on the presence of worms, 
 and I fear they will recur so long as the cause 
 continues to operate. I propose to destroy 
 the worms because they keep the child sick. 
 
 Father — I do not like this plan of treat- 
 ment ; it seems to me too harsh. Perhaps the 
 medicine will excite the worms, and then they 
 will torment the child still more. Let us try 
 milder measures. They say worms like sugar ; 
 let us give some sugar to appease them. 
 
 Doctor — Such treatment will only cause 
 them to multiply still more and render them 
 the more dangerous. Let them once feel the 
 effects of my medicine, and I promise you 
 they will never do any more mischief. 
 
 Father — The great point is the cure of the 
 child. Let us attend to that and not allow 
 ourselves to be diverted by collateral matters. 
 Cure the child first, and then we will see 
 what is best to be done with the worms. 
 
 Doctor (Getting angry) — I tell you again, 
 I cannot cure the child without destroying the 
 worms. It seems to me you have a great re- 
 gard for these miserable creatures, that you 
 are willing to have your child suffer and per- 
 haps die, in order to spare them. 
 
 Mother — It really seems to me that what 
 the Doctor says is reasonable, we had bet- 
 ter 
 
 Father (Interrupting her) — My dear, you 
 do not understand these things. The Doctor 
 evidently has a fanatical hatred of worms, 
 and I detest fanaticism. He belongs to this 
 sect which has been disturbing the public by 
 malignant assaults on worms. Here is our 
 dear child dangerously sick, and he makes this 
 the pretext for carrying out his radical notions 
 about worms. Why cannot he do one thing 
 at a time ? Let him cure the child first. 
 
 Doctor — Why you old fool, I tell you the 
 child cannot be cured without killing the 
 worms. Do you love the worms more than 
 your child? But I leave you to manage for 
 yourself. (Exit.) 
 
 Mother — My dear, pray call back the Doc- 
 tor. What will become of our poor child. 
 
 Father — The malignant radical shall never 
 come into my house again. He is a man of 
 one idea, a fanatic. I am determined to have 
 a Doctor who will cuie my child without de- 
 stroying the worms. And then did you not 
 hear him say that I do not love the child ? 
 
 Mother — You certainly have a strange way 
 of showing your affection. But there is the 
 child falling again into convulsions.

 that my darter susan jane has bin inviggled 
 to appere into the wigwam of the bazar as an 
 injin princes, and as she sais she is of the pre-

 which is as I suppose a dirty blankit and a 
 string of bedes, and what is the worst to 
 polly (she is xny wife to whomb I am a lawful! 
 marrid man) and rae is the fact that she in- 
 sists on takin and borryin the baby which is 
 to appere as an infant pappose.

 Academy of Music. 
 
 The Tieket-o^-leave Man still continues to attract 
 larpe audiences ;it our Theatre, tlesiiite of every out- 
 nide place of anuisenient (and they are numerous). 
 The piece in itself is deserving; of more consideration 
 than time or space -will permit at present ; suffice it 
 to sav, that it presents a moral of nnequalled mean- 
 ing iind attractiveness, calculated to elevate the 
 drama in the opinion of those whose prejudices are 
 of an unquestionable character, simply because they 
 have been led to believe that a theatre is the " sink 
 of corruption," and that a " play hook is the primer 
 of Beelzebub ! " The Ticket-of-leave JIan inculcates 
 a moral worthy to be seen by our most fastidious 
 citizens ; crime is depicted in its most glowing sense, 
 with all the associated knavery dependent thereon ; 
 and everybody that has witnessed the representa- 
 tion must admit that the plot, scenery, and imper- 
 sonations are exe^lent, from besiniiiug to end. 
 
 The Ticket-of-leave Man wiir keep possession of 
 the " Academy " for some time. 
 
 The Loudon Times, in speaking of this great 
 moral drama, mentions a fact to which the provin- 
 cial press of Great Britain and Ireland has given 
 confirmation. 
 
 A clerk who had absconded from Liverpool with 
 £2,500, the property of his employers, and after 
 visiting many places arrived at Birmingham about 
 five o'clock, and after taking some refreshments 
 went to the theatre, to while a%vay an hour. As it 
 happened, the piece which was being performed on 
 the occa.sion of this visit, was the TicUct-of-leave 
 JIan, and the guilty man seems to have drawn a 
 moral from the representation ; for when the scene 
 in which the inteiview between Hawkshaw, the 
 detective, and the Ticket-of-leave Man, took place, 
 Parker, the clerk, became so affected that he went 
 out of the theatre, got three envelopes, and sent 
 £1,500 back to his employers. 
 
 Oh ! the prophetic vision of Shakspeare, 
 " I have neard 
 That guilty creatures sitting at a phiy 
 Have, by the very cunning of the scene, 
 Been struck so to the soni, that presently 
 They have proclaimed their malefactions."

 Wlien the Oak of tlie Union — whose raajesty towers 
 
 Above the dynasties and thrones of tlie world — 
 First bent to the bhist of Secession and showers 
 
 Of wratli by the minions of Slavery hurled ; 
 Tlie Union's defenders in legions assembled 
 
 And (daiitcd themselves at the foot of the tree, 
 Proclaimed in a voice, at which Tyranny trembled, 
 
 " All these, Oh ! my Country, wc ofter to thee." 
 
 From the hives on the shores of the mighty Atlantic, 
 From the blossoming fields of the Orient's pride — 
 To the banks where the new El Dorado romantic 
 Hurls back the Wild waves that are lashing her 
 side — 
 Came the tread of a host, through the nation resouiul- 
 ing 
 As they m,arched 'neatli the folds of the flag of 
 the free ; 
 Came- a shout, and whose echo e'en now is re- 
 bounding, 
 "These breasts. Oh ! my Country, we offer to thee.' 
 
 The purse of the " million," unloosed by the thunder 
 
 That shook the foundations of towers of gold. 
 Accepting the issue that rent it asunder. 
 
 In the lap of the Nation its power unrolled. 
 The heart of the People, in anticipation 
 
 Of a dawning t<j-morrow from Ty ninny free, 
 Beat time while recording its firm decUu'ation, 
 
 " All this. Oh ! my Country, we offer to thee." 
 
 There is many a light, from the cot and the palace, 
 
 Gone out but to dazzle in glory above ; 
 And many an offering di-opped in the chalice 
 
 "With tears from the Heavenly fountain of Love' 
 Yet the bow in its splendor is rising before us, 
 
 While Hope buoys the hearts on the land and the 
 sea. 
 And the Nation in harmony joins in the chorus 
 
 "All these. Oh ! my Country, we offer to thee."

 "Doughnuts" on riremen. 
 Dear Gakteen : — When I was a young 
 man I belonged to a fire company. I would 
 not like to say to which one, because there 
 would be danger lest it would be so set up 
 with the honor of my membership, that it 
 would not parade with the others on the 
 Fourth of July. I think it was on account 
 of mj' ''jolly red clothes " that Mrs. Dough 
 nuts consented to marry me. That's my 
 opinion now in the light of circumstances. 
 I know she has always had a partiality for 
 firemen ever since, and she would walk the 
 streets all day now, to see a fireman's funeral 
 or a parade, or better yet, to see a live fire. 
 Then I think I observed a very sensible cool- 
 ing of her affections toward me, as soon as I 
 had served my time out and became an 
 exempt. Indeed she quite turns up her nose 
 at the exempts : — calls them a set of old 
 fogies, and rather intimates that if she were 
 a man she never would even claim exemption, 
 but run with the machine as long as she 
 
 lived. All the little Doughnuts, she is bring- 
 ing up as regular fire-eaters, — takes them out 
 to see the fires, — talks to them of the relative 
 merits of No. — and No. — , and dresses 
 them up in little red jackets and glazed hats. 
 Now, Mr. Canteen, I did not sit down to 
 give you an account of domestic matters. 
 Every family of course must have its own 
 jars, but it is, perhaps, as well that they 
 should be like fruit jars, self-sealing. So, if 
 you please, we will solder this little jar up 
 again, and say nothing more about it. I only 
 spoke of Mrs. Doughnuts' partiality for fires 
 and firemen, to introduce to you a little poem 
 which she wrote many years ago, when I was 
 a fireman, and sported the "jolly red clothes " 
 of wliich she speaks. This production turned 
 up the other day when Mrs. D. was over- 
 hauling an old bureau drawer, to find some 
 red flannel to make young Niagara Dough- 
 nuts a little fireman's jacket. The youth, 
 who is six years old, brought me the paper, 
 and I send it for you to do what you like 
 with it: 
 
 ADVANTAGES OF HAVING HOUSES BURN 
 UP BY DAYLIGHT. 
 
 A woman's thoughts on the subject. 
 A fire by day in an open street 
 Is a jolly nice thing and a glorious treat. 
 Away with your concerts and tableaux and plays 
 But give me the fun of a house in a blaze. 
 0, dearly I love the sound of the bell, 
 The trampling of feet and the fireman's yell, 
 And sadly I feel when they come at night, 
 For then I must miss the beautiful sight. 
 And often I curse that custom of old, 
 Denying our sex the pleasure untold, 
 Never to fail on hand to be found 
 When sparks are flying any where round : 
 To run out at night when a fire is seen, 
 To shout like the boys or chase the machine, 
 The firemen to watch with their jolly red clothes 
 Their ladders and engines and carts for their 
 hose. 
 
 But br.ivo 1 a fire in broad daylight, 
 Oh I then we can run with all our might. 
 Oh I see the tongued fixe through windows and 
 
 doors, 
 How it crisps up the ceiling aud scorches the 
 
 floors. 
 
 How cornice aud shingles and rafter and beam 
 Are swept away madly by the fiery stream, 
 And see the mad people, how they rush about, 
 Entering the blazing dwelling and dragging out 
 Stufl' by the armful, tables aud ricketty chairs, 
 Baskets and children and broken crockery 
 
 wares. 
 Pots and pans and bed ticks filled with feathers, 
 And boots with holes in their upper leathers. 
 And see you you woman near the neighbor- 
 ing door. 
 Guarding her stuff and her children four, 
 Wild with excitement, and terror and dread, 
 With nought round her shoulders and nought 
 
 on her head, 
 Shouting and screaming as loud as she can, 
 " Will somebody, somebody send me a man." 
 O woman you know not you've uttered the cry 
 That thousands re-echo as eager as I. 
 That longing entreaty still rings in my ear ; 
 As I've traversed the country I have seemed to 
 
 hear 
 Uttered by every woman I meet. 
 Uttered iu house and uttered in street, 
 This woman's cry, and always it ran, 
 " Will somebody, somebody send me a man." 
 But see the brave fireman, how he does his 
 work. 
 How he climbs and pumps and yells like a Turk, 
 How he heeds not the flames that scorch and 
 
 that choke. 
 But boldly advances through fire and smoke. 
 How the foreman stands, with his trumpet so 
 
 gay. 
 
 And shouts to his men to '■ fire away." 
 
 And the watery stream with a hiss is let go, 
 
 And rushes up fiercely on its fiery foe. 
 
 Ah ! now is the tug when the elements meet 
 
 And fire and water in conflict greet. 
 
 Ah ! who would miss the fun to be there 
 
 When battles like these are fought in the air. 
 
 Then bravo ! a fire in broad daylight 
 When I can be there to witness the sight. 
 
 Doughnuts. 
 
 Ey Hope is the parent of " I'll trj-." But for it 
 where were the noble galaxy of statesmen, war- 
 riors and inventors that shine so brightly in the 
 firmament of earth's history. For instance, Fulton, 
 Morse and Wing. The latter has fully realized his 
 fondest hope in the production of the flour of the 
 family — Wing's Union Flour.

 TITIfi REMARKABLE 
 Auierii-an remedy is 
 carrying tlic world by 
 etorin. Over live millions 
 of boxes are »old annu- 
 ally. Composed enlirelv 
 of'Flowerf^. Roots, Bal- 
 sams and Extracts — their 
 elfect on the human sys- 
 tem iR pleasant, satislac- 
 tory and Bucce»sful. Act- 
 ing directly on the blood, 
 glands, sofids and fluids of 
 tlie body, their use is at- 
 tended with the happiest 
 eflects. In sudden attacks 
 of diseases, one or two 
 doEes almost always cures. In old standing cases 
 (d' sickness, small doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the system that good health is the result. 
 Nt) cliange in employment or diet is necessary. 
 They never cause sore mouths, swelled joints, ach- 
 ing limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. They are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the money will be 
 refunded. They are considered cheaper, safer, 
 ]»retier, and in alf respects superior to any purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In many cases, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all api>earance no human means cotild save life, 
 patients have, by the use of tlic,<e I'ilis, bei-n re- 
 stored to good health ; the devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 In consequence of the pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion they are universally used in every section of 
 our wide-extended countiy where they are made 
 known, and are fast superseding every other ^)repa- 
 ration of professed similar import. Upwards ol forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, sohdy 
 from their use, since the introduction of them into 
 the United States, thus establishing the fact beyond 
 all doubt tluit Herrick's Bills cure the (apparently) 
 most opposite diseases by the one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the bowels until the disease 
 gives way ; therefore, whatever may he said of tiie 
 Theory, "the utility of Bractice is now beyond all 
 doubt . 
 
 ly The discoverA-- of coating a Pill with sugar, 
 emanated with Dr. fterrick. All others are counter- 
 feits, and. if used, will do harm, and disappoint the 
 sick- Herrick's Bills are elegantly put up, 30 in a 
 box, with a large sheet of directions, and sell for '2o 
 cents ner box ; 5 boxes for $1. 
 Sola by dealers everywhere. 
 
 Herrick's Kid Strengthening Plasters. 
 
 The tiiieat Strengtiicncr niul Pnin Destroyer. 
 
 The Best and Cheapest Houseliold Remedy in the 
 World. 
 
 These renowned Plasters cure pains, weakness, 
 and distress in the side and breast, in live hours. 
 Indeed, so certain arc they to do this, that the pro- 
 prietor warrants them. Sjiread from resin, balsams 
 and gums, on beautiful kid leather, renders them 
 peculiarly adapted to the wants of females and 
 others, ^fheir application is universal — eriually to 
 tire strong man, tlie feeble woman and the delicate 
 infant To each and all they will prove a balm and 
 a blessing. 
 
 Their uak is iigreeable, and without annoyance 
 
 or tmulde. Each plaster will wear from one to 
 four mouths, and in rheumatic comjdaipty, sprains 
 and bruises, frequently etlect cures when all other 
 remedies fail. Full dircclions will be found on the 
 back of each. Bublic speakers, vomlists and minis- 
 ters of the gospel, and others, will strengthen their 
 lungs and improve their vniecs by wearing them ou 
 their breast. Price 25 cents.

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Feb. 25. 
 
 EDITED BY 
 
 ME. SMITH, 
 
 ALBANY, THURSDAY, FEB. 25, 18C4. 
 
 The Canteen and its Object, 
 We aim to make The Cantken, not only 
 the recognized organ of the Bazaar, as it now 
 is, but a complete and perfect history of the 
 Fair. Thus far the numerous arrangements 
 and preparations, which were indispensable, 
 have precluded us from entering upon our 
 immediate object as fully and earnestly as we 
 have wished. These impediments are now 
 removed, and we hope to cimmence to-mor- 
 row a full description of the Bazaar, of all its 
 interior arrangements, of the various depart- 
 ments, with their distinguishing features, and 
 of everj'thing of interest pertaining to the 
 Fair. This description will be systematically 
 undertaken, and will run through several 
 numbers. Together with other references 
 constantly made, it will be the most faithful 
 exponent of the Fair, and will best preserve 
 its spirit and genius. Every person inte- 
 rested in the great and patriotic enterprise 
 should carefully save an unbroken file of the 
 paper, as the truest record and best memento 
 of that in which they justly feel so much 
 pride. 
 
 Welcome to AIL 
 
 The noble Charity in which we have all 
 been engaged during several weeks, invites 
 and demand.s the continued effort of all its 
 friends. The building is completed. The 
 foundation was auspiciously laid. Strong 
 arms have raised the superstructure. Gene- 
 rous hearts have beautified it. It has been 
 dedicated to patriotism and charity. All 
 are welcome. 
 
 Our work has but just commenced. We 
 are not yet fairly at home in our pew posi- 
 tion. The ring of hammers and the din of 
 workmen are yet ringing in our ears. Yes- 
 terday a cheerless winter park, to day a 
 gorgeous temple, whose worshipers aspire 
 to Cliristian acts and kindly deeds. Your 
 aid is needed ! In a thousand ways you can 
 contribute to the grand result. Learn them 
 in the Bazaar, if you have not already else- 
 where. 
 
 Every cloud has its silver lining. The 
 lining to this one is gained by an admission 
 fee of twenty-five cents. However dark and 
 threatening the outside, the most bewildering 
 and grateful and gratifying scenes are pre- 
 sented within ; the silver side is there. 
 
 A miniature world is here ; its people, its 
 
 fashions, its pastimes. It is a busy, active 
 woild ; all classes and departments are repre- 
 sented. The congregated wealth and beauty 
 of city and country — of every land and clime — 
 arc here. Scotiand e.\tends a hearty greeting, 
 and bid you welcome. iRELANn, Italy, Hol- 
 land, France, Russia, Switzerland, Ger- 
 many, England, Japan, and the sons and 
 daughters of the forest have all been invited 
 by the Yankee Nation to send their fairest 
 .and best to share in its labor of love, as they 
 have contributed their bravest and truest to 
 her prosperity and greatness. And they 
 have Come. They are at the Bazaar. The 
 arrangements the sons and daughters of our 
 own and distant lands have made, to wel- 
 come all, defies description. To be appre- 
 ciated they must be seen. They are a subject 
 of study, as they have been of patient labor. 
 The great public are evidently pleased. The 
 papers speak rapturously of the opening night. 
 They go into ecstacies over the brilliancy of 
 the scene. We have labored in season and 
 out of season. We speak for all engaged in 
 this grand undertaking. The task assigned 
 to each has not been light, but it has been 
 willingly and gladly discharged ; the end in 
 view amply repaying for all our toil and care. 
 The commendations of the press and the 
 people are grateful, and wo may all take 
 honest pride in hivving contributed to this 
 " miracle of enterprise and miracle of art," to 
 which the world and his wife are welcome. 
 
 The Legislature, as cowardly as the 
 rebel Congress, has adjourned over a week. 
 It is an acknowledgement that the Bazaar is 
 too virtucms for them. The case is hopeful. 
 
 KA-CHUGS. 
 
 Since we have visited the Bazaar and 
 observed the Trojan booths, with their trea- 
 sures and fair guardians, we can pardon the 
 Greeks for persevering so long in the seige of 
 Troy. In our brief seige of this modern Troy, 
 the Greek process was reversed. Troy it ; 
 and it is we who are in the imperfect tense of 
 Murray. 
 
 Lavater says, you do not know a man 
 until you have divided an inheritance with 
 him. That is the way " our misguided south- 
 ern brethren " found us out. 
 
 The people and press of Gotham have 
 had a prolonged discussion on the question 
 of raffling at Fairs. Judging from our ob- 
 servation, there has been very little discus- 
 sion, but a good deal of work on the question 
 here. 
 
 If the Bill of Pare which we publish 
 on another page doesn't send everybody who 
 sees it to the refreshment tables, the organs of 
 sight, taste and pocket have no connection, 
 and the eye, the palate and the wallet might 
 as well dissolve partnership. 
 
 The correspondents tell us that as 
 everything else is so quiet and dull, sham 
 fights are the order of the day in the Army 
 of the Potomac. We are inclined to think 
 that sham fighting is no novelty there, though 
 the gallant soldiers are not responsible for it. 
 
 The only reparation which the mem- 
 bers of the Legislature can make for dispers- 
 ing just as the Bazaar was about to open, is 
 to return next week wilh their families and 
 full pockets, prepared to empty the former 
 into the Bazaar, and latter into its treasury. 
 
 Our friend Brady caused a profound 
 sensation at Tweddle Hall on the 22d inst. 
 His large brain and loyal heart acted power- 
 fully on his audience. Mr. B. wears an 
 uncommonly large hat, which few heads at 
 the New York bar could keep from falling 
 over their shoulders. He once lost his hat 
 while trying a cause in the N. Y. Common 
 Pleas. A wag accosted him a few days after- 
 wards, saying ; " Brady, I have found your 
 hat." In going up Chatham si. the other day, 
 I saw a fellow completely smothered by his 
 hat — the brim resting on his shoulders. I 
 hailed him, saying: " Where did you get so 
 much hat ? " He replied, '' I picked it up in 
 the Common Pleas Court room, and I have 
 not seen daylight since ! " Mr. Brady is 
 very unlike a certain dull afflictive lecturer he 
 tells of, who once said to an acquaintance, " I 
 am going to lecture in Boston." To which 
 the reply was, " I am glad of it — I hate 
 Boston ! " 
 
 A bitter old stage goer writes us : 
 " The Italian Opera Singer is not so difficult 
 to get up as uninitiated suppose. Take Mr. 
 S. Camp and write him down Signor Cumpo- 
 nelli. ; Pal. Kelly, and write him Signor 
 Kelliona ; convert Mary Mullins into MUle 
 Mulensi, and Sarah Smith (our own Sally), 
 into Signora Smitheroni, and the thing is 
 done in respect to names. Then let them 
 speak Italian a little, and no matter about an 
 Irish brogue, or a Yankee twang, only be 
 sure that they call for maccaroni, with em- 
 phasis, at every hotel where the company 
 stops ; and you have an Italian Opera Troupe, 
 so gifted, and so expensive that it is difficult 
 to find an audience intelligent enough to ap- 
 preciate, or rich enough to pay for their per- 
 formances."

 THE CANTEEN

 We learn that Napoleon the Third 
 (which we take it means third rate), has 
 agreed with the former enterprising proprie- 
 tor of Old Vauxhnll Garden, Bowery, to 
 prepare Mexico for admission into the Ameri- 
 can Union, in consideration of a receipt in 
 full by the latter of an old bill for the use of the 
 Garden, to enable master Louis Napoleon to 
 walk a thousand miles in as many hours — on 
 bet of as many dollars — wherein he failed and 
 omitted that little bill. Maximilian is to 
 be appeased with Coney Island. 
 
 News, Foreign and Domestic, 
 By the lastest steam arrival, W( have news, 
 as follows, here : — Lewis Nap is looking cross- 
 eyed and Victoria's feeling queer, all because 
 the various Dutchmen Schleswigglers and 
 Holstein too are determined yet to have their 
 little private quarrel through, Johnny Ball 
 he told the Danish he would bet that they 
 were right, then they got their courage 
 screwed up and he sneaked from out the fight. 
 Since the war is well agoing he's neutral in 
 the row, wants to keep good friends with 
 both sides just as ho did here but now. 
 Lewis Nap is very happy, he was snubbed the 
 other day, when he talked about a congress, 
 Johnny looked the other way. Now Jolni 
 wishes he had done it, for his brain is in a 
 whirl, Edward's bride is Denmark's daughter, 
 Prussia's wife is England's girl. And Lord 
 Derby, he has stood up laying down the parlia- 
 ment's will, saying that they'll never pay up 
 Uncle Samuel's little Bill, who to them a 
 claim presented, or, at least gave them a hint 
 that for every vessel scuttled we should look 
 to Britain's mint. But the royal baby grows 
 well, and he has his mother's eyes, though he 
 blubbers as old Wales did, when about his 
 weight and size. All the maids and ladies, 
 waiting on the blessed babe, were seized with 
 delight that words can't utter, when that 
 "Ilope of England" sneezed. Palmerstoii \u 
 virtue triumphs, vice attacks him all in vain, 
 Jacob's Joe was nothing to hire, — quick with- 
 draws the suit O'Kane. Now all Britain's 
 isle rejoices, but with trembling, not too sure 
 it by any means is certain, that a nobleman 
 is pure. 
 
 News domestic doesn't vary, very much 
 from day to day, little fights and small 
 successes come to us from every way. Rebels 
 throng within our borders, take the oath — 
 and, save their land, still to hear their dread- 
 ful cursing, you would quickly understand, 
 that it's time and labor wasted swearing 
 every one in town. Though they take the 
 oath so handy, yet they cannot keep it down. 
 Shoddy's contracts still give profits, shoddy's 
 daughters still are fine. Stocks are rising, 
 stocks are falling, gold still stands at fifty- 
 nine. Congress spends its time in talking, 
 muddling o'er the whiskey bill, what shall 
 be the least per centum, to be laid on whigkey 
 
 — still ? But there is this comfort in it, that it 
 proves beyond a doubt, that the ancient saw's 
 a true one, — " whiskey's in, then wit is out." 
 And Pernandy's spirit moved hira — memories 
 of his old shebeen, thronged his soul, — no 
 
 wonder either, for it thrills an old canteen. 
 
 moved with power that he should reason, 'till 
 the question open stood — "which is best, 
 when Wood's in liquor or when liquoi is in 
 Wood?" Yet the world runs on its axis, 
 solar systems whirl away, suns and moons 
 retain their orbits, rolling on from day to 
 day. If, however, any new thing should arise 
 on this our ball, and j'ou want to get the 
 latest, newest, truest, news of all : Every- 
 thing that's said or whispered, read, or heard 
 or felt or seen, — there is only one th 
 needful, 'tis to buy the next Canteen. 
 
 mg 
 
 [^" They talk, somewhere down in Dixie, 
 of running Humphrey Marshall for the Con- 
 federate Congress. Such people must be per- 
 fectly in-/a/-uated I 
 
 The Wigwam is a great centre of 
 attraction. The people seek it now as earn- 
 estly as it was avoided in olden times. Visi- 
 tors from the North-west are the only parties 
 repelled by the chief and his squaws. 
 
 B^" Dr. Johnson says that Campbell, 
 though not in a church for twenty years, 
 never passed one without taking off his hat. 
 We observe that some people at the Bazaar 
 pass the booths in a most respectful manner, 
 but don't step up. Was Campbell pious? 
 
 The special policemen at the Bazaar 
 are the objects of profoundadmiration. Tha 
 sciupulous neatness of their personal appear- 
 ance, and the serene dignity with which they 
 perambulate the floor, bearing, like the lictors 
 of Rome, the badge of ofBce, add very mate- 
 rially to the attractiveness and beauty of the 
 scene. It is said that some, who are unable 
 to recognize the label, inquire what booth 
 they belong to, and that others mistake them 
 for managers ! 
 
 One of the Troy booths is appropri- 
 ately decorated with the battle-flag of the 2d 
 Regiment. Its appearance proves that the 
 regiment which bore it aloft reflected no dis- 
 honor upon the fields of glory named above 
 it. Beside it is the rebel flag captured by 
 the regiment at the battle of Seven Pines. 
 Troy has reason to be proud of the gallant 
 2d, whose trophies and symbols Mr. Prentice 
 and the ladies of the booth have so tastily 
 arranged. 
 
 The ladies all speak with great appro- 
 bation of the Kinderhook bboth, declaring 
 that its articles are of a substantial character, 
 and that there are plenty of them. The Kin- 
 derhook ladies have done well. 
 
 The Gulistan, or Flower Garden. 
 
 — A French writwr calls dyspepsia the re- 
 morse of a guilty .stomach. 
 
 — Plato being told that some enemies had 
 spoken ill of him, said : " It matters not ■, I will 
 endeavor so to live that no one shall lielieve 
 them." 
 
 — A man who cannot command his temper, 
 his allenti )n and his countenance, should not 
 think of being a man of business. 
 
 — It is a very easy thing for a man to be wise 
 for other people. 
 
 — " What are you doing "i " said a father to 
 his son, who was tinkering on an old watch. 
 " Improving my time," replied the promising 
 youth. 
 
 WEIGHT OF A TEAR. 
 A pair of scales before him, a rich man sat and 
 
 w>-ighed 
 A piece of gold — a widow's all, and unto her he 
 
 said : 
 Four coin is not Iht) proper weight, so take It 
 
 back again, 
 Or sell it me for half its worth, it lacks a single 
 
 grain. 
 With tearful eyes the widow said, Oh, weigh it, 
 
 sir, once more ; 
 I pray you be not so exact, nor drive me from 
 
 your door. 
 Why see, yourself, it's under weight; your tears 
 
 are no avail. 
 The second lime he tries it, it just bears down 
 
 the scale ; 
 But little guessed that rich man, who held hia 
 
 gold so dear, 
 The extra weight which bore it down had been 
 
 the widow's tear. 
 
 — Two persons labored to a vaiu, and studied 
 to an unprofitable, end ; he who hoarded wealth 
 and did not spend it, and he who acquired 
 science and did net practice it. However much 
 thou art read in theory, if thou hast no practice 
 thou art ignorant. He is neither a sage philos- 
 opher, nor an acute divine, but a beast of bur- 
 den will] a load of books. How can that brain- 
 less head know or comprehend whether he 
 carries on his back a library or bundle of fagots 1 
 
 — Au intemperate man of learning is like a 
 blind link-boy, he shows the road to others but 
 sees it not himstlf. Whoever ventured his life on 
 an unproductive hazard, gained nothing by the 
 risk and lost his own stake. 
 
 — Tocompa.isionate the wicked is to tyrannize 
 over the good ; and to pardon the oppressor is 
 to deal harshly with the oppre.<sed, When thou 
 patronizest and succorest the base-born man, 
 he looks to be made the partner of thy fortune. 
 
 — Thus sang Mrs. Barbauld In her old age : 
 Life ! we've been long together, 
 
 Through pleasant and through cloudy weather I 
 
 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear — 
 
 Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh or tear ; 
 
 Then steal away, give little warning. 
 
 Choose thine own time j 
 
 Say not good night ; but in some happier cliqe 
 
 Bid me good moroiug.

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Feb. 25. 
 
 For thb " Cantebs." 
 "Winding Greens." 
 
 'Twas just the prettiest moonlight night, 
 
 That one had ever seen ; 
 When Mr. Smith, and Mr. Jones, 
 
 Went down to wind some greens 
 
 Perhap.s, my friends, you do not know, 
 
 Exactly what one means 
 By making use of suuh a phrase 
 
 As — " Out a winding greens I " 
 But Cedar twigs and Hemlock twigs, 
 
 (And, Oh I how nice they arelj 
 Are wound on ropes, and wound on hoops, 
 
 To hang in the "Bazaar I" 
 
 To do this work, these friends of mine, 
 
 Went down to lend their aid, 
 And when they left, at half past nine, 
 
 One great long wreath they'd made. 
 ' Twas not an easy task, I know, 
 
 But they were compensated 
 By looking ' round the room to see. 
 
 How well the folks were mated I 
 
 Just down the aisle there was a Lass, 
 
 As nice as ever seen, 
 Her hair was done " La Waterfall," 
 
 (How good for the Canteen I) 
 And by her side a brawny Lad, 
 
 Was breaking twigs of Cedar, 
 And would not let the Lassie go. 
 
 For fear he soon might need her I 
 
 One seat ahead, two little hands 
 
 As white as Pigeon wings. 
 Were reaching out most lovingly, 
 
 To Mr. A for strings. 
 
 When he, so p'eas-d to be of use, 
 
 To such a pretty girl, 
 Runs to the desk, at her request, 
 
 His brain all in a whirl I 
 
 And so they worked, night after night, 
 
 And Smith was there to see, 
 And Jones looked on to note the fun, 
 
 And told it all to me ! 
 Now isn't it a jolly thing. 
 
 To put in the Canteen, 
 What Mr. Smith and Jones did see. 
 
 That night a winding greens. 
 
 And when long years have passed away, 
 
 And faded all the wreaths. 
 What will our loyal soldier say. 
 
 In every prayer he breathes 1 
 But "Heaven bless the willing hands. 
 
 That toiled among the greens," 
 And "Heaven bless good Mr. Smith, 
 
 That edits the Canteen I " 
 Albany. Feb. 20, 1864. Mrs. Jones 
 
 The Ouriosity Shop. 
 This department embraces one of the chief 
 attractions of the B>iz;:iar. Through the in- 
 defatigable zeal and untiring efforts of Robert 
 H. Wells, Chairman of the Committee, it has 
 been made a first class exhibition that will 
 give satisfaction to the most exacting critic. 
 
 Among the articles contributed are the 
 Washington Memorials and the Great Seal of 
 the United States of America. To see these 
 alone will be worth the admission fee. The 
 Government never before has allowed the 
 piecious relics to leave the capital, on account 
 of the priceless value attached to them, and 
 would not, in this instance, had it not been 
 that the proceeds would go directly to benefit 
 the Government. They wereobtained through 
 the instrumentality of John V. L. Pruyn, 
 member of Congress from this district. 
 
 Mrs. Robert H. Prujn has the entire care 
 of Japanese articles of the most exquisite 
 workmanship. So fine is the embossment and 
 inlaid work that they will bear the close 
 scrutiny of a magnifying glass, and in order 
 to appreciate them they should be so exam- 
 ined. Mrs. Wild has also a beautiful collec- 
 tion of Chinese work — specimens of em- 
 broidery — antique garments, etc. 
 
 Praise is due to James A. Hurst, Esq., the 
 taxidermist, for the artistic manner in which 
 he has arranged one side of the room with 
 animals, taken from every clime, in graceful 
 and life-like positions. It will, without doubt, 
 attract all classes. 
 
 Dr. Magoon's collection of swords and 
 armor of Cromwell's time, together with 
 ancient manuscripts written by monks and 
 nuns of old, are very interesting as well as 
 instructive. It will be impossible to mention 
 all the beautiful collections presented for exhi- 
 bition by patriotic contributors ; suffice it to 
 say, that it has far exceeded the hopes of the 
 most sanguine. Many profitable hours can be 
 wliiled away by antiquarians and lovers of the 
 curious in the pleasant retreat of the Cuiiosity 
 Shop. B. 
 
 The receipts of the fair up to yester- 
 day morning were over twenty thousand 
 dollars. This looks like a magnificent success. 
 
 They have a bar-tender in Liverpool 
 seven feet four inches high, well proportioned 
 and with strength corresponding to his size. 
 He is a giant that could meet a modem 
 David with his own sling. 
 
 A member of the Nebraska legislature 
 is out against the voting of soldiers, because 
 as he says, it was the prime cause of the de- 
 cline and fall of the Roman empire ! 
 
 ARDIY RELIEF BAZAAR BUILDINGS, 
 
 Academy Park, Albany, N. Y., Jan. IS, 1864. 
 
 We have received the following royal 
 telegram by the kindness of ifr. Cyras W. 
 Field, of the Atlantic Cable : 
 " Hon. Cyrus W. Field, 
 
 U. S. America : 
 
 Enterprising Cousin 1 We have received 
 with emotion the advice of your Mr. Thwlow 
 Weed's brilliant discovery of the Author of 
 Junius.' We beg you to congratulate him in 
 our name for having "vindicated the truth of 
 history," and will he condescend to receive our 
 order of Knighthood by electric shock through 
 the Cable ! He need not kneel if the slate of 
 his Itgs make it at all inconvenient. The 
 Smiths! We never thought that Junius was 
 of our own family, — he wrote so severely 
 of our great ancestor, George the Third; and 
 yet we might have known that kindred are the 
 most bitter in their enmities. We have caused 
 our royal lineage to be carefully examined, and

 Love to your brother, D. D. U he single ! 
 
 VICTORIA." 
 
 THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 
 STATES, through the Secretary of State, hav- 
 ing generously donated to this Bazaar (which 
 is to be held at Albany, in the month of Febru- 
 ary, A. D. 1864, in aid of the S.'vnitary Commis- 
 sion for the benefit of our Sick and Wounded 
 Soldiers) the original draft of his FIRST EMAN- 
 CIPATION PROCLAMATION, dated September 
 22d, A. D. 1862: the undersigned, a Special 
 Committee appointed for that purpose, hereby 
 give public notice that the said Proclamation 
 will be sold by issuing a series of Tickets, duly 
 numbered from One to Five Thousand, at One 
 Dollar for each Ticket. The number of Tickets 
 issued not to exceed Five Thousand, but the 
 issue m.ay be limited to any less number in the 
 discretion of the Committee. The drawing to 
 be made by putting the various numbers or 
 names of the purchasers of Tickets sold in the 
 same wheel used by the Provost Marshal of the 
 14th Congressional District of the State of New 
 York, in making the draft of soldiers for said 
 District. The holder of the first Ticket drawn 
 will be entitled to the Proclamation. 
 
 The Proclamation is in the proper hand- 
 writing of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of 
 the United States of America, excepting two 
 interlineations in pencil, made by William H. 
 Seward, Secretary of State, and the formal 
 heading and ending of the document, which 
 are iu the handwriting of the Chief Clerk in 
 the office of the Secretary of State. It is writ- 
 ten on one side of four half sheets of foolscap 
 paper, and can be seen and examined either iu 
 the Bazaar Buildings, or in the Office of the 
 Suiierinteudont of the Insurance Dep.\rtment, 
 in the State Hall, Albany. 
 
 This Proclamation is, iu the opinion of the 
 Committee, an autographic and historic trea- 
 sure of more interest au(i iniportiince even, than 
 the Proclamation of January 1st, 1863, which 
 was only the necessary sequence of the Septem- 
 ber Proclamation. 
 
 Tickets cau be obtained immediately by en- 
 closing One Dollar for each Ticket, with name 
 and residence, to WILLIAM BARNES, Chair- 
 man of the Committee, Albany. N. Y. If any 
 of our friends in Great Britain wish to compete 
 for this v.aluable document, a contribution of 
 Four Shillings sterling will give one chance for 
 it ; and all sums realized lor exchange over 
 One Dollar per Ticket, will, if desired be given 
 in shares to the British Museum. Mr. T. H. 
 Barker, No. 41 John Ddlon street, Manchester, 
 is solicited to act for Great Britain.

 The Tickct-of-leave Man still continues to attract 
 lar^c anilicnces at onr Theatre, despite of every out- 
 fidi- phue of amuseiiiiMit (and tlicy are nnnieroiis). 
 TIk' iiiece in itself in desfrvin^'of moreeonsiiieration 
 than time or yjmco will permit at present ; sntlii-e it 
 to wiv,tliat it presents a moral of une(|ualled mean- 
 JML,' and attnictivenet*s, ealenlated to elfvate the 
 drama in the opinion of thowe whose jirejudires are 
 of an unqnestionalilf character, simply becHUne they 
 liave been led to hclieve iliat a theatre is the "sinlv 
 of corrnptiim," and that a " piav book it* the primer 
 of Beel/ebnb !" The Ticket-of-leave I^Ian incnlcatew 
 a moral worthy to be nei-n by our mni^t fastidioua 
 citizens ; crime is depicted in its most glowing sense, 
 ■\vUli all the associated knavery denendent thereon; 
 and everybody that hat* witnest^ed the representa- 
 tion mnst admit that Ilie i)lot, M-enery, and iuiper- 
 eonationw are excellunt, from beirinning to end. 
 
 The Ticket-of-le^vc Man wilt keep poBsesBion of 
 the *' Academy " for some time. 
 
 The Ltmdou Timat, in speaking of this great 
 moral drama, mentions a fact to which the provin- 
 cial press of Great Britain and Ireland has given 
 confirmation. 
 
 A clerk who had absconded from Liverpool with 
 jC~.^**'^ the property of his employers, and afler 
 visiting many places arrived at iJirminghani abnul 
 five o'clock, and after taking some refreslnnents 
 went to the theatre, to while away an honr. As it 
 happened, the piece which was being performed on 
 the occasion of this visit, was the rieket-of-leave 
 Man, and the guilty man seems to have drawn a 
 moral from the representation ; for when the scene 
 in which the interview between Hawkshaw, the 
 detective, and the Tieket-of-leave Man, took place, 
 Parker, the clerk, became so atfecteii that he went 
 out of the theatre, got three envelopes, and sent 
 Jt 1,500 back to his employers. 
 
 Oh ! the prophetic vision of Shakspeare, 
 " 1 have li card 
 That gnilty creatures sitting at a \Aiiy 
 Have, by the very cunning ><i' the scene. 
 Been struck so to the soul, that presently 
 They have proclaimed their malefactions."

 Hungry Individual. 
 
 Tliou wretched bivalve ! of my wratli beware I 
 Thy insolence I can uo longer bear ! 
 Wherefor, with manners unrefined and free, 
 Dare'st thou to open thus thy shell at me ? 
 
 Disconsolate Oyster. 
 Pardon the deed, it was not done in scorn, 
 My pains are many, — and my fate forlorn. 
 Torn from my native bed, and nigh to death, 
 I did but lift my shell to catch a breath. 
 
 Hungry Individual. 
 Bivalve, thou lyest ! — but to change the theme. 
 Thou wear'st a pearl, and truly do I deem, 
 That if to wear it longer thou'rt allowed, 
 ' Twill make thee vain, impertinent and proud. 
 
 Disconsolate Oyster. 
 Of wearing pearls, I cannot make my boast, 
 I had &n uncle once, on India's coast, 
 Who had a pearl. But he has long been dead ; 
 Nor left his pearl to me — I've nary red. 
 
 Hungry Individual. 
 Ha ! I recall thee now ! One summer day. 
 While bathing in the surf at Ilockaway, 
 A sudden, sharp sensation I did feel, 
 'Twas thou, base bivalve, nibbling at my heel ! 
 
 Disconsolate Oyster. 
 It was not I; and tliat thou knowest well. 
 Look at the label fastened to my shell. 
 And thou wilt plainly see that Rockaway 
 ■Was not my place, I came from Prince's B.ay. 
 
 Hungry Individual. 
 ' Tis all the same. If thou had'st had a pearl, 
 Thy beard with pride would ne'er have ceased 
 
 to curl ; 
 And if thou could'st, thou woiild'st have bitten 
 
 me ; 
 And thus and therefore do I sw.aIlow thee.

 Good-bye, wave of sunny hair. 
 
 Good-bye each loving token. 
 Ah me ! wheel at the cistern break, 
 And golden bowl be broken 1 
 
 For she, o'er whose most careless word. 
 My memory loves to linger — 
 
 Has cut mo de.id, and slipped the ring 
 From her engagement finger I 
 
 Has sent my notes and letters back. 
 With words that burn like caustic; 
 
 Has torn from out her .ilbum book, 
 My desperate acrostic ! 
 
 So good-bye, sunny wave of hair.

 The Gulistan or Plower Gardea 
 
 — Bob, said a young fellow to his compa- 
 nion, at the Bazaar, come along this way, you 
 are missing all the sights on this side. Never 
 mind, Bill, retorted Bob, I'm sighting all the 
 Misses on the other side. 
 
 — Ideas, said Voltaire, are like beards — men 
 only get them when they grow up, and women 
 never have any. 
 
 — A member of the Society of Friends was 
 accosted in the street the other day, by a sturdy 
 mendicant, in a state of inebriety, who said he 
 wanted a little aid. The Friend, thereupon, 
 strongly recommended lemon-ade. 
 
 — A man at Pike's Peak writing to a western 
 journal says, that the miners are very much 
 discouraged in all that region. Why ? They 
 have to dig through a solid vein of silver, four 
 feet thick, before they reach the gold. 
 
 — Awfully severe contest. — I'd have you to 
 know, Madam, that ray uncle was a bannister 
 of the law. A fig for your bannister, retorted 
 Mrs. Partington, turning up her nose in the most 
 
 approved style. Haven't I a cousin as is a 
 corridor in the navy f 
 
 — If love's a flame that's kindled by desire, 
 Old sticks are sure the best because they're 
 dryer . 
 
 — Ones on a pilgrimage to Hijah, I was tlie 
 fellow traveler of some piously disposed young 
 men, and on a footing of familiarity and inti- 
 macy with them. From time to time we were 
 humming a tune, and chaunting a spiritual 
 hymn ; and an Abid, who bore us company, 
 kept disparaging the morals of the darweshes, 
 and was callous to their sufl'erings, till we 
 reached the plantation of the tribe Ilulal, when 
 a boy of a tawny complexion issued from the 
 Arab horde, and sung such a plaintive melody 
 as would arrest the bird in its flight through the 
 air. I remarked the Abid's camel, that it 
 kicked up and pranced, and throwing the Abid, 
 danced into the wilderness. I said reverend 
 Shaikh ! that spiritual strain threw a brute into 
 an ecstacy, and it is not in like manner work- 
 ing a change in you. Knowest thou what that 
 nightingale of the dawn whispered to me ? What 
 sort of man art thou, indeed, who art ignorant 
 of love ? The camel is in an ecstacy of delight 
 from the Arab song. If thou hast no taste to 
 relish this, thou art a cross-gained brute. Now 
 that the camel is elated with rapture and de- 
 liglit, if a man is insensible to these he is an 
 ass — the zephyr, gliding through the verdure on 
 the earth, shakes the twig of the can tree, but 
 moves not the solid rock. Whatever thou be- 
 holdest is loud _in extolling him ; that heart 
 which has an ear is full of the divine mystery. 
 It is not the nighting.ale that alone serenades 
 his rose ; for every thorn on the rosebush is a 
 tongue in his or God's praise. 
 
 Oatalogue of Curiosity Shop — Additions, 
 Since the 'publication of the Catalogue of 
 the Curiosity Shop, quite a number of addi- 
 tions have been made to the collection. Mr. 
 Wells requests us to publish them in proper 
 orm, so that purchasers of the printed cata- 
 ogue can cut the list from Thk Canteen, and 
 by pasting it in their books keep them perfect 
 descriptions of this portion of the Bazaar.

 The Canteen. 
 Tr^mp, tramp, tramp, tramp, 
 Through the morning cold and damp, 
 Over meadows browu and sere, 
 Through the mountain brooklet clear, 
 
 Wherever the marching soldier's seen, 
 Close by his side is his tin canteen. 
 
 By the camp fire's ruddy light. 
 
 Making merry the winter's night, 
 
 "While round goes the sparkling jest and joke. 
 
 And upwards curls the brier-wood smoke, 
 There, wherever the soldier's seen, 
 Close by his side is his tin canteen. 
 
 On the battlefield rifted and riven. 
 Where valor's meed to valor is given. 
 When the routed foe at last have fled. 
 And the plain is covered with wounded and 
 dead. 
 
 Then, wherever the soldier is seen, 
 Close by his side is his tin canteen. 
 
 Foes and traitors before the fight, ' 
 
 Cursed by him who loves God and right — 
 
 Stricken by God's bolt on the sod. 
 
 Brethren again in the sight of God, 
 
 And wherever a wounded soldier's seen, 
 His brother comes with a tin canteen.

 American remedy is 
 earr-yiiig the world ' by 
 storm. Overlive millions 
 of boxes are sold annu- 
 ally. Composed entirely 
 of "Flowers, Roots, Bal- 
 sams and Extracts — their 
 effect on the human sys- 
 tem is pleasant, satisfac- 
 tory and .succcsNt'ul. Act- 
 in^-^ directly on the blood, 
 glanils, solids and tiuidsof 
 the body, their use is at- 
 tended with the happiest 
 ertccts. In sudden attacks 
 
 __^ _ of diseases, one or two 
 
 .loses almost always cures. In old standing cases 
 oi sickness, small doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the system that tjood health is the result. 
 No chanjje in employment or diet is necessary. 
 Thev never Ciiuse sore mouths, swellfd joints, ach- 
 ing *limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. They are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the money will be 
 refunded. They are coTisidered cheaper, siifer, 
 pretier, and in all" respects superior to any purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In many cases, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all appearance no huin:in nit-ans could save life, 
 patients have, by tiie use of these Pills, been re- 
 stored to good health ; tlie devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 Ill consequence of the pleaeantness of their opera- 
 tion they are universally used in every section of 
 our wide-extended country where they !u*e made 
 known, and are fast sniH-rseding every otlier prepa- 
 ration of professed similar import. Upwards ol forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from tlieir use, since the introduction of them into 
 the United St-ates, thus estahlisliing the fact beyond 
 all doubt that Herrick's Pills cure the (apparently) 
 most opposite diseases by the one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the bowels until the di>case 
 gives way ; therefore, whatever may be said of the 
 Theory, the utility of Practice is now beyond all 
 doubt. 
 
 i^^^ The discovery of coating a Pill with sugar, 
 emanated with Dr. Ilcrrick. All others are couufcr- 
 feits, and, if used, will do harm, and disajipoint the 
 sick. Ilerrick's Pills are elegantly put uj), 30 in a 
 box, witli a large sheet of directions, and sell for 25 
 cents Tier box ; 5 boxes for $1.

 Poor Eichards, 
 In launching The Canteen there could not 
 
 have been a sicker man 
 Than your humble servant Suiitli, without the 
 
 aid of Dickerman, 
 And after all, with our p«t lamb, the case 
 
 would still have gone hard , 
 But for the tender nursing of an excellent good 
 
 Shepherd, 
 And even then presumption bold, might have 
 
 met a sad rebuke 
 But for the gallant service of the right minded 
 
 Mr. Luke — 
 Our gratitude wo mean to express, when we get 
 
 time to pen it. 
 Meanwhile our thanks are also due to bright 
 
 young Maalir Sennet ; 
 
 As The Canteen says. 
 
 When Abraham divides the land 
 With Jeff., of sense bereft. 
 He says ; " I'll wholly take the right — 
 While you go — over the left." 
 
 To hate without biting, financier without kit- 
 ing. 
 
 To read without writing, to whip without fight- 
 ing. 
 
 And agree without uniting, are not more excit- 
 ing, 
 
 And far less inviting, than to mix lamp black 
 with whitening. 
 
 In Dixie, as Smith says. 
 
 ' ' ' Twill be a sad hit," says the French Bandit, 
 " If that small afl'air in Mexico — 
 Makes my Uncle's Nephew's case so very blue,

 THE QANTEEN 
 
 Feb. 26. 
 
 EDITED BY 
 
 MR. SMITH. 
 
 ALBANY, FRIDAY, FEI!. 26, 1864. 
 
 Aid the Soldiers, 
 Florence Nightingale has the immortal 
 honor of first mitigating the austerities and 
 hardships of war. In the Crimean campaign 
 she and her assistants wiTe everywhere 
 present alleviating the pains of those confined 
 in the hospital, ministering to tlie wants of 
 the soldiers in camp, and extending the re- 
 freshing cup to the wounded and dvin;; on the 
 field of battle. But it ha.< hwn left f..r this 
 war and for our country to devu!i>p in its full- 
 ness and perfection, the system of chaiity 
 which especially cmljraces the soldier. The 
 Sanitary Commission has inaugurated and is 
 prosecuting a work such as no Government 
 ever carried out, and such as no Government 
 ever can carry out, as successfully as an or- 
 ganization of this character. Wholly depend- 
 ent upon the patriotic liberality of the people, 
 and completely controlled by men not in 
 official position, of large sympathies, compre- 
 hensive intelligence, unswerving devotion to 
 the cause, and untranimeled by any other 
 duties and connections, the Sanitary Conimis- 
 sion is enabled to prosecute its great and 
 saving work with imdivided purpose and with 
 agencies and means which could not otherwise 
 be employed. Every hospital is tilled with 
 its remedial and cheering stores which sustain 
 and oftentimes restore to perfect health the 
 heroes who were prostrated in the performance 
 of their duty. Every field of battle is the 
 witness of its promptness and efiiciency in 
 sending the means of relief to those who have 
 fallen in the conflict. Wherever troops are 
 stationed, or are on tlie march, wherever hos- 
 pitals are established, there its agents are 
 present ready for any emergency. 
 
 An opportunity is now aflbrded all our citi- 
 zens to aid this glorious organization, and in 
 doing so, to feast the eye with the most 
 splendid spectacles and to fill the mind with 
 rich memories of the artistic, the curious and 
 the beautiful. It is a rare opportunity which 
 should be fully improved. In aiding the 
 gallant soldiers of the army, we shall best 
 cultivate our own tastes, best exhibit our 
 patriotism, and best secure the approval of 
 our own hearts. 
 
 The Art Gallery. 
 The Art Gallery at Palmer's Studio at- 
 tracts large numbers of visitors, as it well 
 may. It is rare that so many exquisite pic- 
 tures are gathered together. The finest ef- 
 forts of our best local artists, and many of 
 the gems of the first artists in the country, 
 form a collection wHich is sought by every 
 lover of the beautiful. We shall speak of 
 this Gallery more fully in a day or two. 
 
 In hurriedly speaking of the many 
 things of interest which distinguished the 
 opening night of the Bazaar, we inadvertently 
 omitted to mention that the Zouave Cadets 
 acted as escort to the Governor. Their sol- 
 dieily bearing on that occasion justified the 
 position which they have long held as the 
 foremost of our military companies. 
 
 KA-OHUGS. 
 
 Our good friends, the Scotch, have 
 been obliged to establish a branch of their 
 booth next to the Manager's ofiicc. These 
 disciples of St. Andrew are not doing things 
 by halves. Did not Walter Scott say of the 
 Harp of the North, 
 
 " Not thus in ancient days of Caledon, 
 Was thy voice mute amid the festal crowd." 
 Not only the voices but the deeds of the 
 Highland maids at the Bazaar are heard and 
 felt amid the festal crowd. 
 
 B^f" Our opinion has been asked as to what 
 number will be most likely to draw Palmer's 
 Statuary or the Draft of the Proclamation. 
 We are of the opinion that the person who 
 shall have the greatest number of tickets will 
 stand the best chance for a prize ; and that 
 those holding the last tickets sold stand a 
 better chance than the first purchasers. We 
 therefore advise such a rui=h for tickets just 
 before the drawing as shall leave none in the 
 hands of the Committee, who will thus be 
 put aside as competitors for the prizes. 
 
 We have reason to believe that the 
 genuineness of the Queen's telegram on the 
 subject of Mr. Weed's Junius has been ques- 
 tioned, because of the word " bull-e," which 
 appeared in it. But we suppose that the 
 Queen might very properly employ a word 
 used by Shakspeare himself. The word 
 ■'bully" is of Shakspearian origin. See 
 Merry Wives of Wi7idsor, Act I, Scene III : 
 Enter Falstiiff, Host, <f c. 
 
 " Fal. Mine host of the Garter — 
 
 " Host. What says my bully-rook ; speak 
 soldierly and wisely. 
 
 " Fal. Truly, my host, F must turn away 
 some of my followers. 
 
 " Host. Discard, bully Hercules," &c. 
 See the same scene, again. 
 
 " Host. Bless thee, bully doctor. 
 
 I^" The collection of pictures in the upper 
 Troy booth on the west side of the nave is 
 very fine and attracts many admirers. Troy's 
 booths indeed contain almost everything that 
 is interesting and desirable. 
 
 Is he dead, my Francisco? ha, bully ! 
 
 * * Is he dead — bully stale f" 
 This is high authority ; but there remains a 
 higher. The word has also the patronage of 
 the President, who, according to Vanity Fair, 
 on taking a view of the Potomac from his back 
 piazza on a fine morning, exclaimed, " IIow 
 bully are all things in Nature!" 
 
 1^" A friend having a young dog once gave 
 him a sound whipping by way of discipline, 
 and at the end, exclaimed in a loud and angry 
 tone, •' Go to the house .' " The dog instantly 
 obeyed, and ever afterwards, when his master 
 wished to scold him, and cried, " go to the 
 house," the dog submitted and went with a 
 most pitiful and dejected look. On relating 
 this to a raisanthiopio acquaintance, he re- 
 plied that there was nothing new in the case 
 for everybody treated their puppies in the 
 same manner. If there was a fellow in a 
 county whom the i>eopIe wished to rebuke, 
 or get rid of, they cried out to him, " Go to 
 the house " — of Assembly; and he straight- 
 way went and did the work cut out by the 
 Lobby for a consideration. But if there were 
 a fellow decidedly vicious, the people raised 
 their voices particularly high, and exclaimed, 
 "Go to the house " — of Representatives! 
 And away he went to receive bribes, make 
 army contracts, and get spoil out of the dir ty 
 jobs at M'ashington. 
 
 To such lengths will misanthropy go when 
 favored by a slight analogy ! 
 
 The Gipsey tent — the home of the 
 sybil — is resorted to by all who are anxious 
 to learn their future, and its revelations are 
 said to be astonishingly correct. The very 
 remarkable animal called the Gorilla can be 
 seen there, and is eminently worthy of a visit. 
 
 1^" We have frequently wondered at the 
 forbearance exhibited at New Yorkers toward 
 those who get up the Directories of the Me- 
 tropolis. Having sometimes occasion to look 
 for the honorable gentlemen who represent 
 that great city in the Legislature, we have 
 never been able to find their names recorded 
 in the Directory. A grosser case of negligence 
 can scarcely be imagined. Shame on the 
 compilers of the Directories ! 
 
 We hear of a wedding to come off in 
 high life. The Hon. Erastus Cenlraule Reighl- 
 way, of Albany, is soon to be united in the 
 bonds of wedlock to Miss Cornelia Van 
 Haarlaem, of Slaten Island. A distinguished

 Albanian, tlio guardian of the bridegroom, 
 will make a magnificent settlement on the 
 blushing bride, who will be given away by 
 her uncle, a brave old salt, by whose will she 
 13 to become a great heiress. The only thing 
 to mar the happiness of the occasion will be 
 the lamentations of the beautiful ifiss Iludscn 
 who, if report says true, has been rather jilted 
 by the gay and festive bridegroom. 
 
 We know an old lawyer who has 
 never been reconciled to the Code, and will 
 rise and leave the room instantly upon your 
 mentioning the name of Mr. Field. He says 
 the lawyers of his time were not mere Miss 
 Nancy sentimentalists; that, on the contrary, 
 they had none but legal emotions. If they 
 took kindly to children or grandchildren, it 
 was because their birth or continued exis- 
 tence raised some intricate question of law. 
 You could imagine their entering a default in 
 case a mother went over her time ; or a nolle 
 prosequi, in case any of their descendants 
 died. He expected to see no such lawyers 
 under the Code. 
 
 |fW° We hear of a new dodge between the 
 Members and the Lobby, in connection with 
 the Fair. The members, in order to cover 
 up the extra profits of legislation, are to pro- 
 pose to collect money for the Bazaar, H^^(i 
 the Lobby are to give, and to pass as donors 
 for the same purpose. But the account under 
 letter B of the Lobby relates to the Broad- 
 way Railway and not to the Bazaar.

 The Army Bazaar is already acknow- 
 ledged to be a complete success. It is in the 
 mind and on the lips of every one. The inte- 
 rest is daily on the increase. Tlie best things 
 are said of it, and in the happiest vein. Never 
 were incidents of fair or festival ; never were 
 the movements of Prince or Princess, on long 
 journeys or short ones, jutted down with 
 greater precision than are the generalities of 
 the Fair. The morning press open on it with 
 the rising sun, and the evening papers select 
 it as t/ie theme of the afternoon leader. The 
 best writers are eclipsing themselves and win- 
 ning golden opinions from all sorts of people. 
 For the interest, and principal too, they invest 
 in the Bazaar. 
 
 In another column wo commence our 
 description of the interior of the Bazaar, the 
 subject of to-day's article being the Yankee 
 Booth. These descriptions will be continued 
 daily, and every department and booth will 
 be treated in a similar manner. 
 
 The present number also contains a report 
 of all drawings of lotteries which took place 
 on Wednesday, and a full account of the 
 receipts of that day. These features will be 
 continued. 
 
 "We." 
 
 Our own city papers have spoken of The 
 Canteen in pleasant terms and with com- 
 mendation. We have also been fortunate 
 enough to secure the approbation of various 
 journals in this and other states. The Spring- 
 field Union, itself an enterprising and spirited 
 paper, says : 
 
 A lively little paper, published by the Al- 
 bany Sanitary Fair people, called " The Can- 
 teen," and "edited by Mr. Smith," was 
 received this morning. Mr. Smith is not a 
 myth by any means, and we congratulate him 
 on the handsome sheet he has sent forth, and 
 the very readable matter it contains. Let 
 the " Canteen " pour on, and we have no 
 doubt it will be fully reciprocated by the 
 Bazaar visitors and many others. 
 
 The first National Bank of Daven- 
 port, through a blunder of the types, was 
 made to say that it would remit its collections 
 on " the day of judgment." That would be 
 about as early a remittance as some collectors 
 make. 
 
 A sweet little creature — a very cherub 
 in cap and curls graced the United States 
 booth last evening in novel character. It was 
 none other than a representation of the " old 
 lady that lived in her shoe." The little fairy 
 was just where she wanted to be, nestling 
 cozy and snug in a mammoth shoe, 
 " Her eyes how they twinkled, 
 Her dimples now merry." 
 Tending her doll babies which surrounded 
 and covered her. It was a gem of a tableaux.

 THE YANKEE BOOTH. 
 
 Just over the way from the Post Office, and 
 separated from the U. S. booth by the pass- 
 age to the Manufacturer's department, is situ- 
 ated the Yankee booth. Light, cheerful and 
 faultless in the arrangement of its decora- 
 tions, it catches the eye at once upon entering 
 the hall. The most elegant silk flags we have 
 ever seen, form its canopy, and numberless, 
 and, to us, nameless products of Yankee 
 industry and skill load its shelves. 
 
 Here is worsted work in every shape and 
 color, babies' toys and patent clothes wring- 
 ers, doughnuts, sweet cider, and every facility 
 for getting thoroughly pop-cc'rned. Several 
 rare and costly books also catch the eye. 
 Audobon's matchless illustrations of the Nat- 
 ural History of our country, so difficult to 
 procure at the present time ; the " Dusseldorf 
 Gallery," and " Gems of British Art." Here 
 also are for sale volumes of the " Union 
 Pulpit," a finely illustrated work published 
 at the expL'use of William T. Smithson, the 
 Washington Banker, now in the Albany Peni- 
 tentiary, condemned for treason. Mr. Smith- 
 son has presented these volumes, but we are 
 informed tliat it is the intention to devote 
 one-half the proceeds of their sale to his 
 family, who are said to be in destitute circum- 
 stances. A drum is also displayed, valued at 
 $75, worthy to wake the memories of Bunker 
 Hill and Lexington, and to lead Yankee 
 heroes in a Koanoke charge. In front of the 
 booth stands Bunker Hill monument in 
 popped corn, and a Counecticut churn one 
 hundred and fifty years old. 
 
 On either side are tiie ladies in charge, 
 Mrs. Mayor Perry, Mrs. Steele, Mrs. Bridg- 
 man, the Misses Cook, Miss Tallman, Miss 
 Munn, Miss Salisbury, Miss Loveridge, and 
 as pages, Master James Benton 'and Master 
 Frank King, all being fitting representatives 
 of New England culture and beauty. 
 
 No one can fail to admire the charming 
 simplicity and neatness of the attire worn by 
 the Yankee matron, so well impersonated by 
 Miss Annie Cook. The plain cap, the 
 powdered hair, the unpretending dress, made 
 and worn in the ancient style, give her an 
 air which, with all its oddity, revives pleasant 
 memories It takes us b.ick to the days when 
 we kneeled to say our evening prayer and felt 
 upon our bended head the blessed touch of 
 her hand who now sleeps in that quiet grave- 
 yard in Yankee land. God bless the memo- 
 ries of New England.

 The Serfs of Eussia. 
 
 The emancipation of the serfs of Russia is 
 one of the grandest events in the history of 
 Russia and of modern Europe. By a single 
 decree twenty-two millions of men were 
 raised from the condition of bondage to the 
 soil and to owners, to independence and to 
 the rights of citizens. 
 
 We usually regard Russia as having entered 
 into the family of European civilization, when, 
 in 1701, Peter the Great founded St. Peters- 
 burg and obtained a port on the Baltic. The 
 character of her civilization had hitherto been 
 Asiatic. Still, more than two hundred years 
 previous she had placed herself so far under 
 the influence of christian civilization as to 
 substitute serfage for chattel slavery. The 
 serfs could not be alienated from the soil 
 which they cultivated, while they remained 
 in bondage to the owners of the land, whether 
 the crown or the nobility. The condition of 
 a serf of the crown was infinitely more desi- 
 rable than that of serf of a noble. 
 
 From the days of the French revolution it 
 had been the desire of the successive empe- 
 rors to ameliorate the condition of the serfs, 
 and to conform their constitution more to 
 that European civilization which they had 
 embraced. Alexander I had emancipated the 
 serfs on the shores of the Baltic. Nicholas 
 made some timid attempts, but was deterred 
 from proceeding far by the aggressions of the 
 French, the opposition of the nobility, and his 
 own dread of a constitutional government, 
 which he anticipated must follow. 
 
 Alexander II, who became emperor in Feb- 
 ruary, 1855, immediately after the Crimean 
 
 were to remain tributary peasants to their 
 landlords. 
 
 At last, it being now nearly three years 
 since the proclamation was issued, we have 
 tidings of the working and effect of the new 
 order of things. There have been no bloody 
 tumults, or anything but the natural confu- 
 sion resulting from novel change and the oppo- 
 sition of the nobility. A m llion of the serfs 
 have already purchased that land which they 
 formerly cultivated for their masters. The 
 money formerly hid in pots or in the fields, 
 has been invested in land. The new wants 
 of the people have given a surprising impetus 
 to trade. More houses were built in the em- 
 pire the last year than for a dozen years pre- 
 vious. The appraised value of property in the 
 kingdom is already enhanced almost beyond 
 computation. Eight thousand schools have 
 sprung into existence among the peasants by 
 their own efforts, without any aid from the 
 government. Two years since such a thing 
 as a day school was hardly known among the 
 peasants. 
 
 The municipal institutions necessarily intro- 
 duced, constitute political training schools, 
 which must ere long secure a National As- 
 sembly and a Constitution for the Empire. 
 Each village elects its own chief, and in meet- 
 ings of the villagers, all measures affecting 
 their interests are democratically discussed 
 and decided upon. Peasants' courts have 
 been established, with simple forms of pro- 
 cedure, under an honorary local magistracy 
 composed of men of character and standing. 
 
 All Russians are now rejoicing, or satisfied 
 with the grand beneficent act of the emperor. 
 The former bitterest opponents of the meas- 
 
 war, having seen in this domestic institution ' ure confess that as the deed was boimd to be 
 
 the cause of his financial embarrassment, ap- 
 pointed a commission to report, on the ques- 
 tiwn of emancipation, and announced, in 1857. 
 
 his intention speedily to decree it. The no- Nicholas feared, must soon follow — a Consti 
 
 performed before long, it is well that it was 
 accomplished summarily. All intelligent 
 Russians possess a conviction that what 
 
 The refreshment tables are constantly 
 thronged. Is it any wonder when the choice 
 Bill of Fare, the cheap prices, the fair attend- 
 ants and the gentlemanly cashiers are con- 
 sidered ? .Such a combination of attractions 
 is as irresistible as it is rare. 
 
 bility from time to time manifested their op- 
 pcsition. He told them in an assembly, in 1858, 
 that he was sorry he could not express his 
 satisfaction with their course, that it was ab- 
 solutely necessary that the law of serfage 
 -bould be changed. " It is belter these 
 reforms should come from above thin from, 
 below." The emperor persisted, the commis- 
 sion pursued its plans, and on their report he, 
 on .Sunday, March 17, 1861, while we were 
 in the paralysis just preceding the attack on 
 Fort Sumpter, issued his proclamation which 
 emancipated forty millions of men. 
 
 By this proclamation all proprietors were 
 required to cede to their peasants (about 
 twenty-two millions), the lands which they 
 were improving ; and the peasants, by paying 
 lor the lands with their own money, or with 
 loans from the government, were to become 
 freeholders within the space of two years. 
 Until they acquired this free possession they 
 
 tutioii. And already, during this very month, 
 as if a preliminary to the result, the news of 
 a ukase or order of Alexander II, has been 
 received, organizing representative provincial 
 assemblies of the people in a large number of 
 the provinces of this empire of seventy-five 
 millions of inhabitants. 
 
 [^" There are few who would flee from a 
 fair agent — and are there any others at the 
 Fair? — soliciting the taking of " chances " in 
 schemes to aid the sick and wounded soldiers. 
 To such as would like to escape them, we re- 
 commend the method employed by the man 
 in the nursery rhyme. It will infallibly suc- 
 ceed :

 Shall I tleu from this horrible cow?

 Academy of Music. 
 
 The Tieket-of k-iive Man still continues to attract 
 large audiences at oiirTlieatre, despite of every out- 
 side place of amusement (and they are numerous). 
 The piece in itself is deserving; of more consideration 
 than lime or space will permit at present ; sutlice it 
 to s;iv, that it presents a moral of uneciuiiUed niean- 
 ini; iind attractiveness, calculated I" elevate tlie 
 drama in tlie oiiinion of those whose pi'ejudices are 
 of an uiniuestiouahle character, simply hecause thev 
 have heen led to helieve that a theatre is the "sink 
 of corruption," and that a " plav book is tlie ]u-inier 
 of Beelzehuh !" The Tiekct-of-leave JIan inculcates 
 a moral worthy to he seen by our most fastidious 
 citizens ; crime is depicted in its most f^lowin^' sense, 
 with all tlie a.ssociated knavery dependent thereon; 
 and evervhody that has witnessed the reprc-senta- 
 tion mnsi' adniit that the jilot, scenery, and imper- 
 sonations are exccdlent, from beginning to end; 
 
 The Ti<ket-ofleave JIan will keep possession of 
 the " Academy " for some time. 
 
 The London Tiini:i, in speaking of this great 
 moral di-ama, mentions a fact to which the provin- 
 cial press of Great Britain and Ireland has given 
 confirmation. 
 
 A clerk who had absconded from Liverpool with 
 £i!,500, the property of his employers, and after 
 visiting many places' arrived at Birmingham about 
 live o'cloc'k,'and after taking some refreshments 
 went to the theatre, to while away an hour. As it 
 happened, the piece which was being performed on 
 the occasion of this visit, was the Ticket-of-leave 
 JIan, and the guilty man seems to have drawn a 
 moral from the representation ; for when the scene 
 in which the interview between Hawkshaw, the 
 detective, and the Ticket-of-leave Man, took place, 
 Parker, tlie clerk, bei-iinie so att'ected that he went 
 out of the theatre, got three envelopes, and sent 
 £1,500 b:ick to his employers. 
 Oh ! the prophetic vision of Shakspeare, 
 " I have lieard 
 That guilty creatures sitting at a play 
 Have, by the very cnnniiig of the scene, 
 Been struck so to the soul^ that presently 
 Thev have proclaimed their malefactions."

 Song of St. Nicholas. 
 
 Tdxe — The good old days of ^dam and Eve, 
 I. 
 There was a time in the good old days aback, 
 Wlien the folks got ou fast enough without a 
 
 railw.ay track, 
 And didu't break their necks, as they do now, 
 alack ! 
 
 Ah, me ! .nnd wasn't it Kicker, 
 lu the good old days of Deidrich Kuicker- 
 l)0cker ! 
 
 II. 
 When every tub was filled with saur hraut, 
 And head cheese, and sausages, and everything 
 
 you cared about, 
 And all the girls were fair, and every dame 
 was stout. 
 
 Ah, rao ! and w.isu't it lacker. 
 In the good old days of Deidrich Knicker- 
 bocker ! 
 
 III. 
 When heetchies and potchies and all kinds of 
 
 souse, 
 And oil looks and Now Year's cake were all 
 
 about tlie house. 
 And not like Yankee larders, where its nix 
 cojnc arouse, 
 Ah, uio ! and wasn't it lacker, 
 In the good old days of Deidrich Knicker- 
 bocker ! 
 
 lY. 
 Then every old dame wore a petticoat and short 
 
 gown. 
 While her good man had three pair of breeches 
 
 on. 
 And his round faced honest boys were all 
 called John. 
 Ah, me ! and wasn't it lacker, 
 In the good old days of Deidricli Knicker- 
 bocker 1 
 
 V. 
 Then we did as we dash pleased all the week 
 
 but Sunday, 
 And didn't care a straw for that plaguey Mrs. 
 
 Grundy, 
 Any more than for a Mrs. Douw or any Mrs. 
 Fonda. 
 
 Ah, me ! and wasn't it lacker, 
 In the good old days of Deidrich Knicker- 
 bocker 1 
 
 VI. 
 
 But now since the Yankee trick of that old 
 
 Bank of Albany, 
 " Times isn't as they used to was," by a mighty 
 
 pretty penny, 
 And people ain't where they were, by a great 
 many. 
 Ah, me ! but wasn't it a lacker, 
 In the good old days of Deidrich Knicker- 
 bocker ! 
 
 A'll. 
 
 There's dear old Uncle Jacob H., how well he 
 
 skinneil his eye ! 
 But "didn't see it," — couldn't — the devils 
 
 were so sly I 
 And they cried out "By, bye, Pickwick! " as 
 tliey bade him " good hy !"' 
 
 Ah, me ! it never'll be so l.ackor. 
 As in the good old days of Deidrich Knick- 
 erbocker I 
 
 VIII. 
 
 Now the Yankees and the Germans, and hosts 
 
 of the wild Irish, 
 Have mi.xed us all up so I They're not at all to 
 
 my wish — 
 Have mixed us all up so ! and kicked over my 
 dish! 
 
 Ah, me ! it never will be lacker.

 The Dedicatory Ode. 
 As a part of the history of the Bazaar, and 
 as being in itself a beautiful production worth}' 
 of being preserved, we publish below the 
 Dedicatory Ode written by Miss Mary F. 
 Morgan, and sung by the grand chorus on tbe 
 opening night of the Bazaar: 
 
 ODE 
 
 BY MARGARET F. MOROA!J. 
 
 All hail to our country, the Land of the Wost! 
 The dream of the nations, the Great and the 
 
 Blest, 
 The vision that came on the spice of the breeze, 
 And haunted the heart of the dark Genoese — 
 That rose like a temple of gold to his view. 
 That hung like a star in his distance of blue. 
 
 The sun on his journey may linger to glance 
 On the mosque and the temple, the vine and 
 
 the dance, 
 But always retnrns to the haunt he loves best, 
 And leaves his last smile with the Laud of the 
 
 West, 
 
 0, Sun in thy beauty untiring like thee. 
 The heart of the Westland is glowing I 
 
 And over the continent, over the sea, 
 The light of its purpose is throwing. 
 
 Behold how its broad and beneficent ray 
 Each measure and limit is scorning ! 
 
 Though dark clouds of error still lurk in the 
 way. 
 They are edged wi'.h the light of the morning. 
 
 Come, Morning Light I 
 
 Come, quickly come. 
 Break throngh the night — 
 
 Trumpet and drum 
 Call in their might. 
 
 Come, quickly come t 
 
 Break, break the tyrant's yoke, 
 Bre.ik thro' the battle smoke — 
 
 Scatter the gloom ! 
 Let Tre.ison's wonted ire 
 See in its force and Are 
 Naught but its doom 1 
 
 Bre.ak thro' the prison bars, go with ablessing. 
 Shine on our captives, and bid them good 
 cheer ; 
 Go where the soreness of famine is pressing. 
 Tell them that bounty and largess are near: 
 From mountaiu, vale and mart, 
 Tell them the Nation's heai-t 
 Whispers "Good cheer!" 
 
 Though the air is stirred with comliat 
 Hope with lifted fingers wait — 
 
 Hears the bugle call of " Union ! " 
 Hears the homeward march of States ! 
 
 From the dim and doubting vision 
 Rend the veil and show the Right, 
 
 Thro' the mists of fraud and table 
 Lead them onward. Morning Light I 
 
 Peace will return with her chaplet of glory — 
 Home from the battle field weary and worn, 
 
 Come the br.ive squadrons of song and of story. 
 Bearing their banners up rifted and torn ! 
 
 What h.ive we done for thee ? 
 
 What have we won for thee ? 
 Surging with tumult and sorely oppressed — 
 
 Given our .all to thee I 
 
 Given our lives to thee I 
 Given thee Liberty, Land of the West. 
 
 Then hnil to our country, the Land of the West I 
 The marvel of nations, the Great and the Blest I 
 The green of her forests, the blue of her vales, 
 Her mines and her mountains, her lakes and 
 
 her sails. 
 Her cotton and rice fields that stretch far away 
 In saffron of sunset, or purple of day — 
 .411, all will we cherish with right and with 
 
 might 
 Till the Sun shall grow dim on his voyage of 
 
 light! 
 From blight and from error, from woe and 
 
 unrest, 
 May God shield our country, the Land of the 
 
 West! 
 
 'Doughnuts" "Writes a Ehyming Letter. 
 The following explains itself. We hope 
 our friend Doughnuts will get his stew-paa 
 back again. It is a shame that people will 
 keep things that they have borrowed. We 
 would like to take occasion to remind the 
 friend who borrowed our silk umbrella, that 
 the rainy season is coming on. Also, we 
 would politely request tht individual who 
 borrowed our hat out of our hall, and left his 
 own by mistake, should come and take his 
 dilapidated tile away. And we remind the 
 friend who borrowed our copy of the first 
 volume of Friends in Council, that he has 
 now had it three years. — Eds. 
 Dear Codsis : 
 
 About a degree. 
 
 Years ago or more : — 
 
 Now, when I think it o'er, 
 
 It cannot be so much, 
 
 Or I would feel the touch 
 
 Of time, and so would you, 
 
 By far, more than we do. 
 
 But the m.atter of the date, 
 
 That perchance can w.iit, 
 
 ' Till another better time. 
 
 And will not need a rhyme, 
 
 Or other fuss, 
 
 To discuss. 
 
 But, Dear Coz., to-day, 
 
 What I want to say 
 
 Must be quickly told, 
 
 For the room is cold, 
 
 And the wind from a crack 
 
 Blows upon my b,ick. 
 
 And puts me in mortal dread 
 
62 
 
 THE C A N T P: E N . 
 
 Feb. 27. 
 
 Of a cold in my head. 
 For yoii know that here 
 Coal is very dear, 
 Every ton bringing " allars " 
 Ten to thirteen dollars. 
 So my wife and I 
 Thought we wouldn't buy 
 Quito as tnany tons 
 As we used to once. 
 
 As luck would have it so 
 Our kitchen is below, 
 So we've tried the plan 
 To get what heat we can 
 From the kitchen stove 
 By a dummy right above. 
 But I must confess 
 The dodge is no success. 
 All the heat we ever get 
 From this plaguey dummy yet 
 AVould not burn a baby's finger, 
 If perchance it linger 
 Thoughtlessly against the iron. 
 With our hottest kitchen fire on. 
 And then besides when Bridget 
 Begins to fuss about aud fidget. 
 Putting on her pots and so forth, 
 I take my hat aud go forth ; 
 For I cannot stand the smells 
 And the smoke that tells 
 Of a beef-steak put to broil, 
 Or of cabbage on the boil, 
 All which pleasant exhalations 
 Put me quite bi>yond my patience 
 As I see them steam 
 From the dummy's open seams. 
 
 But I had quite forgot 
 
 In my wandering what 
 
 I sat me down to write. 
 
 Ah I no, I have not quite. 
 
 But it is so strange 
 
 When the mind gets range. 
 
 That it will such antics play, 
 
 While by night, and while by day. 
 
 Running off where none can reckon, 
 
 Wherever any follies beckon. 
 
 Even, often as a child 
 
 In its frolics wild 
 
 Will escape its mother's hold 
 
 And with defiance bold 
 
 Will resist the being led 
 
 At its hour to its bed. 
 
 E'en at church within our pews 
 
 Fancy often plays the douce. 
 
 One moment here, and there the next. 
 
 Far from .sermon and from text, 
 
 Wandering often far and wide, 
 
 And tired at last of all beside, 
 
 Landing us safe in a doze 
 
 Right beneath the preacher's nose. 
 
 But I never sh.ill be through 
 Unless I now commence anew 
 And at once, without delay, 
 Come to what I have to s.iy. 
 
 You borrowed, many years ago, 
 So my wife says, and it's so, 
 A stew-pan from eur kitchen. 
 
 'Tis what we fry our eggs " and sioh" in. 
 It never has as yet come back ; 
 Our other's broken and we lack. 
 Please, Cousin, do not 
 Disappoint your 
 
 DoronNUT.

 d sickness, small doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the system that good health is the result. 
 No change in employment or diet is necessary, 
 riiey never cause sore' moullis, swelled joints, aen- 
 in.g limbs, etc., as do manv other kinds. Tliev are 
 warranted to give satisfactKm. or the monev will be 
 refunded. They are considered ebeajier, safer, 
 pretier, and in all' respects siijierior to any purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In luany cases, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 eeratifui had laid bare ligaiiient and bone, and where 
 to all appearance, no human means could save life, 
 patients have, by the use of these Pills, been re- 
 stored to good bealtli ; the devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 In consequence of the jileasantness of their opem- 
 tion they are universally used in every section of 
 our wide-extended country where tlie'y are made 
 known, and are fast superseding every other prepa- 
 ration of professed simibir import. I'p'wards of forty 
 thousand cases have been certitied as cured, ^olelv 
 from tlieir use, since the introduction of them int'o 
 tlic I'nited States, thus c.'^tablishing the fact bevond 
 all doubt that Herrick's Pills cure the (appare'ntly) 
 most opposite diseases by the one sinnile act of co'n- 
 tiniially evacuating the' bowels until the disease 
 gives way ; tlierefore, whatever may be said of the 
 Theory, the utility of Practice is now beyond all 
 doubt. 
 
 5^^ The discovery of coating a Pill with sugar, 
 emanated with Dr. iterrick. All others are eountcr-

 cents per box ; 5 boxes for $1.

 Our Bazaar. 
 
 We would not seek to disparage the Sani- 
 tary Fairs which have been held in other 
 cities. Tliey have been splendid successes, 
 and, taken together, form a chapter in the 
 history of war which has never hi-fore been 
 written. These grand popular ettbrts to ex- 
 tend aid to the sick and wounded of that 
 arm}- which is defending our national exist- 
 ence, are as entirely unexampled as they are 
 noble and successful. But we hazard nothing, 
 either of truth or of vanity, in saying that 
 our Fair is at least inferior to none in the per- 
 fection of its arrangements and the complete- 
 ness of its success. In saying this we are 
 only repeating what has been said by parties 
 themselves connected with tlie others. Our 
 managers had their experience to guide them. 
 They were enabled to avoid defects, and to 
 improve upon excellences. Instead of taking 
 some utterly inadequate h.ill, they erected a 
 building fur this special purpose. In adapt- 
 ing it to its object they united high architec- 
 tural ingenuity with great practical skill. In 
 adorning it they emplo3-ed everything which 
 the most judicious taste and the broadest cul- 
 ture could suggest. The result is a building 
 whose peculiar adaptation to its purpose is the 
 subject of universal commendation, and with 
 whose interior beauty, splendor and complete- 
 ness the most fastidious judgment can find no 
 fault. 
 
 But all this would be comparatively worth- 
 less if the Fair itself, in its attendance, its 
 sales, and its general object, were not a cor- 
 responding success. It is a source of undis- 
 guised pride, as it is of unbounded gratifica- 
 tion, to be able to say that the Fair is a signal 
 success — a success greater even than the most 
 sanguine would have predicted only a few 
 days ago. The liberality of our citizens, and 
 of the citizens of Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga, 
 Kinderhook and other places, has stocked the 
 Bazaar with an unequaled variety of goods, 
 has filled the Curiosity Shop with the richest 
 treasures of the antique and the wonderful, 
 and has adorned the Art Gallery with many 
 of the finest paintings and marbles of the 
 land. The attendance has been large. The 
 sales have been heavy. Universal satisfaction 
 has been given, and in all its departments the 
 Bazaar has been a success of which all inter- 
 ested in it may well be proud. 
 
 The driving snow storm of yesterday 
 made the attendance at the Bazaar less than 
 on previous days, but even storms cannot pre- 
 vent success. 
 
 |:gf= We hear of many persons who are 
 going to bind The Canteen and preserve it 
 as the record of the Bazaar. When complete 
 it will unquestionably be the best record, and 
 all interested in the Bazaar should save it. 
 
 It is proper to say that the receipts of 
 cash at the Fair, which we reported in our 
 columns, include the receipts for goods sold 
 on commission. The total is therefore some- 
 what larger than the net receipts. 
 
 B^" If the editor of the London Times 
 could see the interior of our Bazaar, he might 
 perhaps condescend to think that there is still 
 some humanity left at the North. We may 
 be waging a barbarous war, but the Bazaar is 
 curious proof of it. 
 
 It was Pope who said : — 
 " Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare, 
 And beauty draws us with a single hair." 
 
 This is clearly a prophetic allusion to the 
 dark-skimned occupants of the wigwam whose 
 " fair tresses " have ensnared many of the 
 imperial race. 
 
 An excellent photograph of the ladies 
 of the Oriental Booth, in costume, has been 
 taken by Churchill and Dennison, and is for 
 sale. It is a fine specimen of art, and is a 
 life-like representation. Mr. E. C. Delavan, 
 as we learn, suggested the idea, and with 
 characteristic spirit and liberality, caused it 
 to be carried out. Similar photographs of the 
 ladies of the other booths are to be taken. 
 
 The Shaker booth is well filled with 
 material and live stock. The imperturbable 
 gravity and remarkable precision with which 
 the latter impersonate their characters, both 
 in conduct and in speech, have led some to 
 suppose that they have actually become what 
 they represent, on the principle that, having 
 adopted the very attractive costume, they 
 had 
 
 '■ Slept in so far that should tliey wade no more, 
 Returning were as tedious as go o'er." 
 
 t^" We hear that an Englisman who re- 
 aently arrived in this country visited the 
 Bazaar a day or two since and expressed his 
 great astonishment at the unequaled energy 
 of our people. It seems incredible to him 
 that such a palace of beauty and such a mag- 
 nificent display could be prepared in so great 
 a haste and in the midst of so destructive a 
 war. lie soon learned that it is the war it- 
 self which has directly developed this energy 
 and called out this display. Instead of ex- 
 hausting, it is bringing out and multiplying 
 our resources. Instead of quenching, it is 
 firing our spirit and resolution. 
 
 KA-CHUGS. 
 
 In the olden time, the members of 
 the Legislature used to provide themselves 
 with very heavy boots, the toes of which 
 often encountered the members of the lobby. 
 Now the members of the lobby wear the 
 heavy boots, to the great annoyance of the 
 members. 
 
 1^" We have a bright boy who greatly 
 excels in figures. A few days ago we put 
 him this sum : A member of the Legislature 
 gets $o a day for one hundred days ; during 
 that time he pays $2.50 per day for board, 
 and $1 a day for washing, cigars and drinks ; 
 and still carries some $3,000 at tho end of his 
 term. Where does the money come from ? 
 The boy answered with the ease and prompt- 
 nesss of Zera Colburn — " The Broad-way 
 RaURoad!" 
 
 8^° Those who suppose (says an old loco 
 foco), that the resources of the North are 
 nearly exhausted, have never entered into a 
 minute calculation on the subject. Supposing 
 the population of the loyal states to be 20 
 millions, and that on an average each person 
 sheds two linen shirts a year, we have a 
 figure of 40,000,000. Then assuming that 
 each shirt will make twenty greenbacks, we 
 have 80,000,000, at once, which, added to 
 the current revenue, will cover any demand 
 which the Secretary of the Treasury will be 
 likely to make. 
 
 e hear that Mr. Stephens o/ Georgia, 
 and other distinguished Dia^ians, have written 
 to 3Ir. Frank Moore, of the Rebellion Record, 
 thanking him for the fairness of his reports of 
 their sayings and doings, and requesting that 
 he will continue to be faithful in respect of 
 their dying speeches, when they come to ren- 
 der up. Frank has politely replied, that it 
 will afford him the greatest pleasure. 
 
 Nature either anticipates human 
 needs, or promptly repairs damages, when 
 she cannot anticipate. In the midst of our 
 war, she has made reparation by a large in- 
 crease of male births. And by way of anti- 
 cipation of our coming need, the same 
 beautiful providence has largely increased the 
 hemp crop of Kentucky. 
 
 Since the frauds in the N. Y. Custom 
 House, a committee has been instituted to 
 receive applications and hear testimony, with 
 
Feb 27

 a view to report a name that can be trusted. 
 The committee has sat six weeks and heard 
 innumerable applications, but as yet have not 
 seen an honest man, and only heard of one 
 trust — Abraham Lincoln. It is thought 
 that in the spring, when the lobbies return 
 from Albany and Washington, and the go- 
 vernment contractors shall again mingle with 
 their fellow citizens, that their sphere of se- 
 lection will be so enlarged, that they will be 
 able to report a name. 
 
 C^" A correspondent enquires : " If the 
 price of freedom is eternal vigilance, what 
 ought to be given for an ordinary vote ? We 
 suppose the customary price from $3 to §10, 
 is about right. 
 
 The case with which Alexander 11 
 emancipated the serfs, was due in part to the 
 desire of the latter to be free ; but in the 
 United States, the serfs are resolved not to 
 be free from the control of their southern 
 masters, which makes the separation difBcult 
 and painful. 
 
 If 2fiss Issippi refuses to be embraced 
 by the Confederates, they forfeit all preten- 
 sions to chivalry if they press their suit 
 further. There was a time when southern 
 gallantry would have acceded at once to the 
 lady's desire ; but a protracted diet of mule 
 beef has rendered the chivalry ill bread and 
 obstinate.

 A striking antithesis — the women of 
 southern cities gathering in hungry mobs to 
 get food which was taken from them by the 
 soldiers, and the ladies of northern cities in 
 the robes of beauty and splendor, giving of 
 their abundance to aid the sick and wounded 
 of their army. 
 
 J^" Gen. Grant will not be a candidate at 
 this time for the Presidency ; the time how- 
 ever may come when he will be ; and as he is 
 a man who can fight, bnt can't make a 
 speech, so his only proper opponent must be 
 a man who can make a speech, but can't fight. 
 Such an one may turn up. 
 
 Inside Pictures of the Bazaar. 
 r«o. a. 
 
 THE UNITED STATES BOOTH. 
 At the east side of the Bazaar, at the right 
 of the entrance, and at tlie head of the main 
 avenue, portraits of Washington and Jack- 
 son, a canopy of American Flags, a gladsome 
 company of ladies in Red, White and Blue 
 (stars, every one of them), and the American 
 Eagle, in proud and defiant position, informs 
 lis, without the aid or of guide or text book, 
 that we have reached the domains of the great 
 Uncle to all the creation. 
 
 Facing the east, on our right, the goodly 
 company of Shakers, way from Niskayuna, 
 have opened a store for the sale of their good 
 apple sauce, straw goods and brooms. (Broad- 
 brim has not been at home in several days, 
 and the world's people are cultivating the 
 acquaintance of the Sisters, and buy of their 
 wares not sparingly.) On our left the Yankees 
 have come in and taken possession, and make 
 themselves entirely at home, as much so as if 
 they had been born and reared in the park. 
 (They trade at all times, Saturday evenings 
 and holidays alone excepted, and if they can't 
 drive a bargain, there's no use hunting up the 
 people that can. 
 
 But we intended to speak of the United 
 States, and only alluded to Shakerdom and 
 Yankeedom to describe our position, and will 
 add, in passing, that the United States is 
 located just the other side of the Post Office. 
 
 Here is a live thing on the counter. A 
 representation of " the old lady that lives in 
 her shoe." A winsome little beauty, who 
 has mastered two or three summers, is cozily 
 seated in an immense brogan, surrounded by, 
 and caring for, as many little children in the 
 shape of dolls as the space will admit of. 
 The hair of the little sprite hangs in ring- 
 lets, while a real mother's cap confines it in 
 part, and she chatters to her little ones and 
 sings Mother Goose's melodies to them until 
 bed time. At a distance, and looking over a 
 sea of heads, we thought the figure was wax. 
 The following, amusing us not a little, occur- 
 ring just in time to be " recorded." 
 
 " Buy any dolls to-day," said little blue eye, 
 addressing the wife of the publisher of a news- 
 paper from Hudson. 
 
 " No, little fairy, I hav'nt any little girls to 
 play with them," replied the lady. 
 
 '■ Then," said the little cherub, her eyes 
 sparkling with delight, " then you can play 
 with them yourself," and we all had a good 
 laugh, just then and there. 
 
 It is at this Booth that the gentlemen's 
 silk double dressing gown or robe, manufac- 
 tured by K. V. R. Lansing & Co. is on exhi- 
 bition ; and here, too, are two most elegant 
 specimens of cone work, one the handiwork 
 of Miss Mary E. Mink of the State Hall.

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Feb. 27. 
 
 It is a book rack, or series of hanging shelves 
 for books, elaborately finished ; another, an 
 ornamental corner piece of the same material, 
 manuf;ictiired by Miss 
 
 The fancy dress ball scene, the contribution 
 of Miss Waterman, receives just commenda- 
 tion. It consists of some twenty miniature 
 figures, in well defined costume, each a charac- 
 ter in itself. Three of the characters are 
 taken from Ivanhoe. The group form one of 
 the most interesting studies in Uncle Sam's 
 Department, and is conceived in charming 
 taste and admirably executed. It forms the 
 centre piece on the immense counter. And, 
 at either end of the counter, is an ornamental 
 piece presented by J. Winne & Son. Both 
 are charming easy chairs ; the one of ribbed 
 silk, rich and elegant in design and finish, and 
 the other, as elegant, and perhaps more so, of 
 satin. They are made of the best material, 
 and in the most complete manner. They are 
 valued at $125. 
 
 Another beautiful rosewood chair, contri- 
 buted by Mrs. John Tayi.er Hall, the seat 
 of worsted work, commands attention. It is 
 chaste in design and unsurpassed in finish. 
 
 There is also an elegant work table, which 
 adds a charm to the grand display at this 
 
 booth. 
 
 We have mentioned but a few of the thou- 
 sands of articles kindly sent in to the United 
 States, and they are those which are more 
 readily noticed by the visitor. There are 
 many others to which we shall call attention 
 more in detail. Almost anything desired for 
 ornameut or use can be found at this capacious 
 establishment. 
 
 Among the number we may mention the 
 great variety of sofa pillows, book marks, 
 collars, lamp mats, cushions, handkerchiefs, 
 shawls, sontags, emeries, under-sleeves and a 
 thousand and one otlier articles of domestic 
 manufacture, skillfully wrought, all of which 
 must be seen to be appreciated.

 well, Mrs. Dr. Mead, preside at the United

 ladies: Miss Anna Teller, Miss Catharine 
 Tea Eyck, Miss Hattio Ramsey, Miss Antoi- 
 nette NotI, Miss Lizzie Sprague, Miss Lillie 
 Thorborn, Miss Jennie Averill, Miss Libbie 
 Darling, Miss May Ramsey, Miss Julia Fay,

 Assistants. — Messrs. P. Wendell, A. Pruyn 
 W. Clark, Jackson. 
 
 Cashiers. — Messrs. Dyer and Mink. 
 
 The costumes of the young ladies in attend- 
 ance at the United States is most ample and 
 appropriate. None will fail to recognize the 
 daughters of our great Uncle, by the resem- 
 blance their wardrobe bears to the National 
 flag. The fair creatures have adopted the 
 whole of it; their own purity and loveliness 
 furnishing the white, the bodice of blue, and 
 the skirt red. 
 
 We shall have to look in at the United 
 States again, and that speedily. 
 THE WIGWAM 
 Is one of the best regulated and most attract- 
 ive places in the Bazaar. It is a life picture 
 of Indian life. The ladies who preside there 
 have made a decided hit. The hut itself is a 
 curiosity as a work of art; the decorations are 
 such as become a forest home. The managers 
 evince a keen appreciation of the character, 
 habits of life, sources of amusement, listless 
 inactivity, pride and fondness for dress and 
 display of the tribes they personate. They 
 present the Indian character to the life. The 
 hut is hung with trophies of war and of the 
 chase. The canoe is drawn up waiting the 
 opening of the streams ; the snow-shoes are 
 near the door and ready for any emergency. 
 Bows and arrows, baskets, bead work, in all 
 the varied forms, are here and well displayed. 
 The wanderers from the St. Regis tribe who 
 visit us and encamp on the island over the 
 river annually, never display a greater variety 
 of their handiwork than do the fair denizens 
 of the Wigwam, who have made their home 
 with us for a few days. 
 
 We give below the names of those who 
 occupy the Wigwam, together with their 
 Indian names : 
 
 Mrs. J. I. Johnson, Manneoka ; Mis. Clinton 
 Ten Eyck, Miss Mount Pleasant : Mr. S. 
 Karslake, Hiawatha ; Mr. C. Thomas, Meta- 
 mora ; Miss Groot, Pocahontas ; Miss Little, 
 Wawatasa; Miss Swan, Owassa ; Miss Net- 
 terville, Minnehaha; Miss Redfield, Winona; 
 Miss Wilson, Opechce ; Miss Steele, Nokoma; 
 Miss Taylor, Tawashagunshee. 
 
 Capt. J. F. Porter, Jr., of the 1st 
 Metropolitan Light Cavalry, who was but re- 
 cently a prisoner at Richmand, has been at 
 the Bazaar for a couple of days. He thinks 
 it is a decided improvement on Libby Prison, 
 and says, that if our gallant fellows confined 
 there could only see this grand exhibition, 
 their hearts would leap with joy. Capt. 
 Porter lost his sabre at Port Hudson. Ob- 
 serving in the catalogue of the Military De- 
 partment at the Bazaar, that there was on 
 exhibition a sabre from Port Hudson, the 
 blade rusted with blood and inscribed " Capt. 
 J. F. Porter, Jr., Co. C, 1st Metropolitan 
 Light Cavalry," he inquired for it, and found 
 that it was his own. The gallant soldier and 
 his trusty blade met again. 
 
 The rebel flag which floated from the 
 Marshall House at Alexandria, for hauling 
 down which Col. Ellsworth was shot by its 
 traitor proprietor, has been sent to the Bazaar 
 by Chief Decker, of the New York Fire De- 
 partment, and can be seen in the military 
 bureau. It is an interesting trophy. 
 
 Thursday was a regal day for the 
 Fair in every respect. The number of visitors 
 was larger than on any previous day, and in 
 the evening was so great that locomotion waa 
 almost impossible. The receipts also were 
 very heavy. 
 
 ARMY RELIEF BAZAAR BUILDINGS, 
 
 Academy Park, Albany, N. Y., Jan. IS, 1864. 
 
 THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 
 STATES, through the Secretary of State, hav- 
 ing generously donated to this Bazaar {which 
 is to be held at Albany, in the month of Febru- 
 ary, A. D. 1864, in aid of the Sanitary Commis- 
 sion for the benefit of our Sick and Wounded 
 Soldiers) the original draft of fis FIRST EMAN- 
 CIPATION PROCLAMATION, dated September 
 22d, A, D, 1862: the undersigned, a Special 
 Committee appointed for that purpose, hereby 
 give public notice that the said Proclamation 
 will be sold by issuing a series of Tickets, duly 
 numbered from One to Five Thousand, at One 
 Dollar for each Ticket, The number of Tickets 
 issued not to exceed Five Thousand, but the 
 issue may be limited to any less number in the 
 discretion of the Committee, The drawing to 
 be made by putting the various numbers or 
 names of the purchasers of Tickets sold in the 
 same wheel used by the Provost Marshal of the 
 14th Congressional District of the State of New 
 York, in making the draft of soldiers for said 
 District. The holder of the first Ticket drawn 
 will be entitled to the Proclamation, 
 
 The Proclamation is in the proper hand- 
 writing of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of 
 the United States of America, excepting two 
 interlineations in pencil, made by William H. 
 Seward, Secretary of State, and the formal 
 heading and ending of the document, which 
 are in the handwriting of the Chief Clerk in 
 the oifioe of the Secretary of State. It is writ- 
 ten on one side of four half sheets of foolscap 
 paper, and can be seen and examined either iu 
 the Bazaar Buildings, or iu the Office of the 
 Superintendent of the Insur.inee Department, 
 iu the State Hall, Albany. 
 
 This Proclamation is, in the opinion of the 
 Committee, an autograpliic and historic trea- 
 sure of more interest and importance even, than 
 the Proclamation of Janu.ary 1st, 1863, which 
 was only the necessary sequence of the Septem- 
 ber Proclamation. 
 
 Tickets can be obtained immediately by en- 
 closing One Dollar for each Ticket, with name 
 and residence, to WILLL\M BARNES, Chair- 
 man of the Committee, Albany, N, Y, If any 
 of our friends iu Great Britain wish to compete 
 for this valuable document, a contribution of 
 Four Shillings sterling will give one chance for 
 it ; and all sums realized for exchange over 
 One Dollar per Ticket, will, if desired, be given 
 in shares to the British Museum, Mr. T. H, 
 Barker, No. 41 John Dillon street, Manchester, 
 is solicited to act for Great Britain,

 The Ijondoii Timix, in speakinj; of this preat 
 moral drama, inentions a fact to which the piovin- 
 eial press of (ireal Britain and Ireland has given 
 confirmation. 
 
 A cleik who had absconded from Liverpool with 
 £Q,500, the properly of his emjdoyers, and after 
 visitini; many jdaces ari-ived at liirminfrham about 
 five o'clock, and after tiiking souie refreshments 
 went to the theatre, to while away an hour. As it 
 happened, the piece which was being jierformed on 
 the occasion of this visit, was tl'e Ticketofleave 
 JIan, and the guilty man seems to have drawn a 
 moral from the representation ; for when llie scene 
 in which the interview between Itawkshaw, the 
 detective, and the Tioket-of-leave Man, took place, 
 Parker, the clerk, became so atfcctcd that he went 
 out of the theatre, got three envelopes, and sent 
 jEL.wn back to his cm|iloyers. 
 
 Oh ! the proplietic vision of Shakspeare, 
 ** I have heard 
 That guilty creatures sitting at a play 
 Have, by the very cunning of the scene. 
 Been struck so to the soul, that presently 
 They have proclaimed their malefactions."

 The Southom Girl ; or, Linkiim's Sculp. 
 
 DEDICATED TO THE WIOWA.M. 
 
 "—bring me Linkum'fl Sculp.'' 
 Extract from a Sonthern Girls letter. 
 
 You are goiug far away love 
 To flglit the wicked Yanks, 
 You may meet with Beastly Butler, 
 Or perhaps with hlue nose Banks ; 
 But uiy heart is always with yon, 
 And I all my tears will gulp, 
 If you'll only surely send me 
 Old Abe Liukum's bloody sculp. 
 
 Other girls may crave a likeness 
 
 Of the one who stirred love's dreams, — 
 
 Other girls may hang Yank toe-bones 
 
 Round their necks like strings of beans ; 
 
 But my heart lies got one passion, 
 
 It will always linger there, 
 
 Satisfy if — you can do it — 
 
 Bring me Old Abe Liukum's hair. 
 
 If you only know my feelings, 
 Such a warmth and such a glow. 
 How they always overcome me 
 When I think that you must go ; 
 Such a heat, and such a fervor, — 
 My poor heart dissolves to pnlp 
 When I think you may not bring me 
 Old Abe Liukum's bloody sculp. 
 
 Other girls have scull and cross-bonea 
 That belonged once to the Yanks ; 
 They are nice but they are common. 
 So if you'd deserve my thanks. 
 And my true love everlasting. 
 I am sure you're very cnlp — 
 Able, if you do not bring me 
 Old Abe Liukum's bloody sculp. 
 
 In the peaceful glorious future, 
 When we're joined and hand in baud, 
 
 Cultivate the old plantation 
 
 With three nigs to the acre of land — 
 
 Then when on our dying couches, 
 
 We'll surrounded by our Iifirs, 
 
 Leave them nisgers, lands and blessings, 
 
 But most precious Linkum's hairs. 
 
 Hug me tighter, closer, darling. 
 
 One more kiss before you go, 
 
 Care not though my eyes are streaming, 
 
 March to meet the hated foe. 
 
 Tear yourself from my embraces, — 
 
 I my childish tears will gulp, — 
 
 Go my own, my sweetest darling, 
 
 But oh, bring me Linkum's sculp! 
 
 F.uTH AND Works. — J. is a clergyman, but 
 he can't help doing it now and then. Last 
 evening K was a little lazy in filling an ap- 
 pointment at the Bazaar. He protested his 
 watch had deceived him, and that he could 
 put no /(lith in it. J. replied : '• Well, what 
 of that ; you don't want/ni//t in a watch ; you 
 need worksl " We were shocked, and threat- 
 ened to bring the case before the presbytery. 
 J. impenitcntly replied that it would only 
 prove a watch case.

 MILITARY DEPARTMENT. 
 
 BATTLE FLAGS, TROPHIES, ORDNANCE, ARMS, 
 &C., &C. 
 
 The collections of this department, depos- 
 ited principally by tbe " Bureau of Military 
 Statistics," or through its agency, occupies 
 the western transept, and faces the United 
 States booth. The floor space, eighteen hun- 
 dred square feet, and the three side walls, 
 are crowded with objects of high historic 
 value and of great present interest. Through 
 the admirable taste of Mr. Piepenbrink, this 
 endless variety of articles is so arranged that 
 the collection is presented in the most favor- 
 able manner. 
 
 The influence of General Sprague has ob- 
 tained from the authorities at Washington 
 many articles for this department which oth- 
 erwise would not have been procured ; and 
 
 other sources have been successfully applied 
 to. We mention a few of them below. 
 
 From Washington's Head Quarters, New- 
 burgh, N. Y. — Washington's Head Quarters 
 is owned by the State, having been bought 
 in at a mortgage sale on behalf of the U. S. 
 Deposit Fund, several years since. The 
 building was occupied by Washington and his 
 family from 1780 to August, 1783, and it was 
 here that his masterly reply to the famous 
 " Newburgh Letters " was written. The 
 place is also of historic interest from the fact 
 that it was the scene of the disbandment of 
 the army of the Revolution, Nov. 14, 1783, so 
 eloquently described by Thacher in his Jour- 
 nal, as well as from the early period at which 
 the building was erected. The building has 
 not been changed iu any material respect 
 since its occupation by Washington, having 
 received only such repairs as were necessary 
 for its preservation. 
 
 Soon after the purchase of the property by 
 the State an effort was made to give addi- 
 tional interest to the place by collecting and 
 depositing there manuscripts and other relics 
 of the Revolution, of the war of 1812, and of 
 the Mexican war. A large number of articles 
 from the old State Arsenal were removed 
 thither by permission of the proper authori- 
 ties, and contributions from individuals 
 invited. To the patriotism and liberality of 
 Mr. Enoch Carter, of Newburgh, however, tbe 
 public are mainly indebted for the very inter- 
 esting collection of articles now deposited 
 there. 
 
 It would afibrd us pleasure to notice at 
 length the articles which, by Mr. Carter's 
 permission, have been placed in that part of 
 the Bazaar assigned to the " Bureau of Mili- 
 tary Statistics," for exhibition. They are 
 sufficientl}' identified, however, in the cata- 
 logue of that department, and we will simply 
 say that they embrace many curious and 
 valuable historical relics. A musket stock 
 used and broken at Bunker Hill ; a pistol 
 captured at Trenton ; a pistol captured at 
 Yorktown, and believed to have been the 
 property of Lord Cornwallis ; a Hessian cav- 
 alry officer's boot, in contrast with a cavalry 
 boot of the present period ; the sword of Col.

 basque of 1614; a lady's dress of 1776, in 
 contrast with one of the present day (the lat- 
 ter contributed for that purpose by Miss 
 Abell, of Albany), and a number of other 
 articles, prominent amo'ng which is a piece of 
 the famous " Gobelin Tapestry," brought to 
 this country by the Coeyman family, in 1622. 
 This collection is receiving its full share of 
 attention from visitors. 
 
 From E. D. Ellsworth, Esq., and adjoining 
 the collection from Washington's Head Quar- 
 ters, is the coat, the pants, and other articles 
 of the gallant and lamented Ellsworth ; the 
 last letter written by him to his parents ; the 
 gun with which he was killed, and the rebel 
 flag of the Marshall House, iu the removal of 
 which he sacrificed his life. A whole volume 
 of history is here presented, and standing 
 sentinel at its title page is its living witness, 
 Lieut. Brownell, who so promptly avenged 
 the death of his gallant commander. 
 
 The War Department, upon application, 
 authorized the commandant at West Troy 
 Arsenal to loan for exhibition any property 
 there deposited, and Col. Hagner availed him- 
 self of the privilege, of sending a series of 
 articles of exceeding interest. Among these 
 is a bronze 24 pounder and carriage, surren- 
 dered by Burgoync ; a modern 30 pound Par- 
 rott gun complete ; a pair of Cohorn mortars ; 
 two howitzers used by Wayne in the Indian 
 wars ; a series of grape, canister, shells and 
 shot, with and without cartridges ; specimens 
 of small arm projectiles, powder and other 
 articles too numerous to specify. Lest the 
 visitor should shrink from the presence of 
 huge cartridges apparently ready for the gun, 
 it may be noticed, that although externally 
 similar, and put up at the laboratory, they 
 contain nothing but saw dust. 
 
 From E. Remington & Sons, of Ilion, the 
 celebrated arms manufacturers, the Bureau of 
 Military Statistics has received a velvet lined 
 case, containing perfect samples of their rifle, 
 army and navy revolvers, and the Springfield

 finished parts, in all stages of completion. In 
 all there are 215 separate pieces, showing to 
 the ej'e all parts of the gun, superior in work- 
 manship to any elsewhere made, and together 
 forming a most interesting study. This is a 
 very valuable gift to the Bureau, and is so 
 esteemed. This case is conspicuously dis 
 played. 
 
 From the Manufactory of Augustiis Viele 
 ^ iions, West Troy, have been sent for exhi- 
 bition and permanent preservation, in the 
 Bureau of Military Statistics, a series of solid 
 shot, shells, and grape shot, ranging from 13 
 inch downward, and a huge stand of grape, in 
 which each ball weighs 12 pounds. These 
 have been prepared with special neatness. 
 
 From the Manufactory of Geo. H. Law- 
 rence, of West Troy, there has been received 
 as a similar permanent donation, a series of 
 solid shot, howitzers, shells, canister, cart- 
 ridges, caps, fuses, &c., of exceeding interest, 
 and put up with great taste. These may be 
 contrasted with a serfes of ancient and modern 
 projectiles, loaned from the Albany Armory. 
 From the latter some have also been received, 
 specimens of most of the fire-arms now in 
 use, trophy cannon of Saratoga and Yorktown, 
 of glorious revolutionary memory, and a large 
 number of arms used in decorating the wails, 
 and of no particular history. 
 
 From the Collection of the '• Bureau of Mili- 
 tary Statistics," and through the kindness of 
 friends, a great number and variety of arms 
 have been arranged, but the limits of this 
 article forbid the details, for which the reader 
 is referred to the Catalogue, of which a second 
 edition is prepared. We observe prominent 
 among depositors, the names of E. farter, 
 Esq., of Newburgh ; Hon. C. L. Bealo of Co- 
 lumbia county ; Col. Mix of the 3d N. Y. 
 Cavalry ; E. Ellsworth, father of the lamented 
 colonel of the 11th N. Y. regiment, and 
 others. 
 
 From the New Y'ork Arsenal were received, 
 through the courtesy of Gen. Farrell, several 
 very interesting arms of historical interest. 
 
 From R. P. Parrott, of Cold Spring, we 
 notice a series of rifled projectiles of 10, 30, 
 100 and 300 pounds weight, and from Capt. 
 E. C. Boynton, of West Point, an exceedingly 
 interesting series of articles used as projec- 
 tiles and otherwise with heavy artillery. 
 These are all permanent deposits in the 
 Bureau of Military Statistics. An interesting 
 series of projectiles and other relics from An- 
 tietam, was loaned for exhibition from the 
 cabinet of Lowville Academy, and among 
 these we notice a rocket, used as a projectile 
 in war; several military rebel hats, "the 
 worse for wear ; " bayonets and broken 
 muskets. 
 
 From S. H. Ransom <f Co., was received a 
 torpedo taken from the Tennessee river near 
 
 Fort Henry, and specimens of projectiles and , but eloquent witnesses of patriotism that finds

 when a rude stockade was a fortress of im- 
 pregnable strength, down through successive 
 ages to the present time, when iron plates and 
 
 granite walls, of massive thickness, scarcel}' j worthy of particular attention 
 offer a shelter against the more ponderous 
 projectiles and steel pointed shot of modern 
 artillery. 
 
 In the series of projectiles, ranging from a 
 few grains to three hundred pounds, and from 
 the calibre of the smallest pistol to that of 
 the largest mortar and heaviest cannon, we 
 may trace the progress and learn the attain- 
 ments (if military art; and as we read of Par- 
 rott, James, Brooks, Hotchkiss, Blakely, 
 Armstrong, Shenkl, and many other kinds of 
 projectiles used in war, these terms will con- 
 vey a more concise idea than heretofore. In- 
 deed, but few can leave tlie department 
 assigned to military trophies without receiv- 
 ing large accessions to their knowledge upon 
 subjects which the times have rendered inter- 
 esting to all. In the course of the exhibition 
 we have heard military men of large experi- 
 ence remark that they now first saw certain 
 articles about which they had often heard or 
 read, but which they never before had seen. 
 
 But above all these, and of intrinsic interest 
 far exceeding all the rest together, are the 
 worn and tattered, but not dishonored flags 
 of our state regiments, that after being spread 
 to the breeze in every battle of the war, in 
 which our troops have participated, have been 
 brought home, and consigned to the state 
 military archives. They may truly be called 
 the jewels of the state ; and as the foreign 
 traveler on vi.siting the Tower of London, is

 merican remedy is 
 
 carrying the world* by 
 storm. Over five millions 
 of boxes are sold annu- 
 ally. Composed entirely 
 of 'Flowers, Roots, Bal- 
 sams and Extracts — their 
 effect on the Iiuman sys- 
 tem is pleasant, satisfac- 
 tory and successful. Act- 
 ing directly on tlie blood, 
 glands, Bofids and Uuideof 
 the body, tbcir use is at- 
 tended with the happiest 
 crtects. In sudden attacks 
 
 ___. of diseases, one or two 
 
 doh-es almost always cures. In old standing cases 
 <>t sickness, small doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the system that good health is the result. 
 No change in employment or diet is necessary. 
 They never cause sore months, swelled joints, ach- 
 ing limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. They are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the money will be 
 refunded. They are considered clieaper, safer, 
 l>retier, and in all respects superior to any piu-gative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In many cases, where the dreadl'ul ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all appearance no human means could save life, 
 patients have, by the use of tliese Pills, been re- 
 stored to good health ; the devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 In consequence of the pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion they are universally need in eveiT section of 
 nur wide-extended country where they are made 
 known, and are fast superseding every other prepa- 
 ration of professed similar import. Upwards ol forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from their use, since the introduction of thera into 
 the United States, thus establishing the fact beyond 
 all doubt that Herrick's Pills cure the (apjiareiitly) 
 most opposite diseases by the one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the* bo\yels until the di^ea6e 
 gives way ; therefore, whatever may be said of the 
 Theory, the utility of Practice is iiow beyond all 
 doubt.

 The Second Week, 
 We enter to-day upon the second week of 
 the Bazaar. The first week was the happiest 
 augury of brilliant and remunerative success. 
 Every day a sea of people swayed and surged 
 through the vast area, nor was their presence 
 the only evidence they gave of their deep in 
 terest in the Fair. Tlie sales were heavy, 
 indicating that they had come with the deter- 
 mination of contributing towards the grand 
 object of all this effort and display. A liber- 
 ality was manifested which was as gratifying 
 to the managers as it was creditable to our 
 citizens and those of the vicinity. All seemed 
 to enter heartily into the spirit of the great 
 enterprise, and there was universal satisfaction 
 and commendation. 
 
 The second week opens under the brightest 
 auspices. There is every prospect th.it the 
 success will be greater even than last week. 
 The grand machinery is fairly in motion. It 
 moves with perfect order and system. There 
 is no jarring, no clashing, no untimely mis- 
 haps. Our citizens are fairly awake to the 
 glories of the Bazaar, and the enthusiasm has 
 in no wise diminished. We have then every 
 reason for expecting continued and augmented 
 success. Let all feel that they can contribute 
 to the great work, and Albany will have no 
 cause to feel ashamed of its effort for the 
 heroes of the army. 
 
 An Incident that might have Occiured, 
 " When Greek meets Greek then comes the 
 tug of war." When Shaker meets Shaker let 
 who will say nay, or more. Frid,-iy night as the 
 sale of articles was going on briskly at the 
 famous Shaker booth, where the energetic and 
 quiet Senior Sister and her companions were 
 exciting the admiration and delight of the 
 visitors on account of their perfect imperson- 
 ation of the Shaker character — in the midst 
 of the crowd appeared a genuine broad- 
 brimmed Shaker, attired in the full costume 
 of his society. " Friend Obailiah how does 
 thee do ? " said the Sanitary Shaker. " The 
 Bisters are looking very well," says Lebanon. 
 " Yea," from Sanitary, " Obadiah we want a 
 suit of your clothes for one of our brethren ; 
 lend us your suit, we will give you a complete 
 outfit of worldly goods, so that you can go 
 around and see the girls. " N.ay," from Oba- 
 diah, who began to look as if there was some 
 lingering longings for the pleasures of the 
 
 world not entirely driven out of his soul; 
 " nay, for that would be a violation {of our 
 rules ; nevertheless, one must say thee looks 
 much like those who live with us in Lebanon, 
 and the maidens with thee would bo gladly 
 welcomed to our home. Henrietta would be 
 welcomed with much joy by the sisters who 
 have deserted the world with all its gaudy 
 attractions, and the hands of the brothers 
 would be uplifted with thankfulness for such 
 a brand snatched from the burning. Yea, my 
 heart is filled with a holy joy that so many 
 of you are drawn by the cords of love from 
 the empty attractions of the world to the 
 peaceful habits and modest attire of our 
 society. If there were not so many of the 
 rude people of the world around us I would 
 wish to greet you with a holy kiss. Yea, 
 verily." 
 
 As the brother waxed warm in his admira- 
 tion of the Sanitary Shakers, an older and 
 more prudent member of the same respectable 
 society was observed drawing near, his ear 
 being attracted by the joyous strains with 
 which Obadiah was discoursing. " Obadiah ! 
 Obadiah I The discipline of the society must 
 be visited on thy head ! The flesh pots of 
 Egypt ! The gay maidens of the world ! Oh ! 
 the evil one tempteth thee with grievous temp- 
 tations ! Fly from them. Go to Lebanon, 
 and return thanks that Abraham was near 
 thee in this hour of thy danger, and that his 
 warnings were unto thee as a grand protec- 
 tion, a strong monitor against the enticements 
 of the world's merry-mack." Obadiah left a 
 sadder, but a somewhat wiser man. Abra- 
 
 KA-CHUGS. 
 
 The quarrel between the old North- 
 ern political parties in respect of the rebellion, 
 reminds us of a fact which tra nspircd down 
 the river in a hay-field, last summer. Two 
 men were mowing on a faim in Dutchess 
 county, when there came up a rain norm, 
 accompanied by lightning, which struck so 
 near them as to prostrate both to the earth; 
 and when they rose, they clinched each other 
 and fought furiously, each charging the other 
 with having knocked him down ! 
 
 The South Carolinians, considering 
 their history and their strong proclivity to 
 treason, ought to have been on their guard 
 when the first suggestions of secession were 
 made, as was Mr. Clarke of the Knicker- 
 bocker Magazine, in respect to lightning, 
 according to an Irving anecdote. Mr. Clarke 
 was visiting Mr. Irving at Sunnyside, when 
 they drove out to Sleepy Hollow, and were 
 caught in a storm of rain with thunder and 
 lightning. Irving took refuge under a tree, 
 and asked Clarke to join him, who refused, 
 saying that his father had once taken refuge 
 under a tree which was struck in a thunder 
 
 storm, and he was prostrated and rendered 
 ham indulged in a quiet growl, rubbed bis I insensible for several hours, and that he had 
 glasses, and looking earnestly at the Sanitary enjoined it on his children never to do the 
 
 Shakers, said to himself as he turned away : 
 •' Yea, verily, the maidens are comely. Would 
 that Obadiah were not here, for then would I 
 enter into godly converse with them myself. 
 But Obadiah is not prudent. He knoweth 
 not the meaning of a still tongue. And 
 scandal must be avoided. Yea, verily ! " The 
 real Shakers passed away but the beauty of 
 that Shaker— Booth still abideth. And the 
 man of the South, as is his wont, gazed until 
 a serene calm entered his soul. 
 
 jt^" Switzeriand takes the high position 
 among the representative nationalities of the 
 Bazaar that it ought to take among the real 
 nations of Europe. The costumes of the 
 ladies seem just fitted for the rugged moun- 
 tains and beautiful valleys which Tell loved 
 so much, and their activity in performing 
 their work is such as their fresh mountain air 
 is well calculated to inspire. 
 
 [^" The French booth is doing well. It 
 is a perfect picture of life, as gay as Paris 
 itself, and its fair occupants have the vivacity 
 which belongs to the ladies of the great me- 
 tropolis. 
 
 like. " Oh !" replied Mr. Irving, " that 
 makes all the difference in the world. 1/ it 
 is hereditary, and lightning runs in your 
 family, you are wise .'" 
 
 A member of Congress was recently 
 discussing with the President the difficulties 
 which lay in the way of reconstructing 
 South Carolina; when Mr. Lincoln remarked 
 that it reminded him of the story of the cler- 
 gyman and a drunkard lying prostrate in the 
 highway — the clergyman saying, "It was to 
 be hoped that the Lord would convert that 
 man from the error of his way, and raise him 
 up to sobriety and usefulness." Upon which 
 a boy, who stood by, said : " If I were the 
 Lord, I should rather make a new one !" 
 
 The bold, defiant. Northern sympa- 
 thiser with rebellion, who, as the standard 
 bearer of moral treason, rejoices in our de- 
 feats, and mourns our victories, calls to mind 
 an incident of the days when the revivalist, 
 Burchard, carried all northern New York 
 before him, in the way of conversion, in his 
 own peculiar style. He drilled his subjects

 like soldiers. As he called out, " rise," 
 "kneel," "pray," "agonize!" so would they 
 do. On one occasion he h.id given the order-' 
 to " kneel," and had knelt himself to pray, 
 but on looking up, he beheld an exceedingly 
 tall young clergyman, dressed in black, stand- 
 ing erect high above the kneeling throng, 
 when he addressed him thus : " Kneel there, 
 brother ! kneel, I say ! you look like a flag- 
 stafT stuck out of hell!" 
 
 tW A dyspeptic friend, after sending the 
 following, is said to be better: 
 
 " Who was the first of the Smith family 
 mentioned in Scripture? The widow' s mit (e.) 
 
 Nothing in the way of disease reduces a 
 man more than dyspepsia. 
 
 Parson Brownlow, in expressing his 
 intense hatred of the rebels, and his desire to 
 punish them, appears sometliing like a devout 
 deacon who was once stung badlj' by hornets 
 in his harvest field ; whereupon seizing one 
 of them, and taking a pin from his sleeve, he 
 ran it through him again and again, saying: 
 " Confound you I I'll teach you that there's a 
 God in Israel !" 
 
 ^^ The same bright sunshine of pleasant- 
 ness and airy freedom pervades the Italian 
 booth that shines upon the plains of the 
 Campagna. One cannot help feeling its influ- 
 ence as he approaches its domain. The fair 
 daughters of Italy are truly representative. 
 
 The disciples of St. George have made 
 their booth, in its general effect and its varied 
 stock, one of the most prominent of the Ba- 
 zaar. Cowper said that he loved England 
 with all her faults. This miniature England 
 has no faults. 
 
 We take great pleasure in calling the 
 attention of the classical among our readers, 
 to the communication of " Antiquary " in an- 
 other column, with reference to the antique 
 inscription in the Curiosity Shop. 
 
 "Antiquary " we know to be one of our 
 most esteemed fellow-citizens, of a not only 
 local but European reputation. 
 
 In regard to the antique in question, we 
 have heard the idea advanced, that its great 
 age may be at once assumed on account of the 
 diliteratic (two letter) system of its construc- 
 tion. 
 
 It is, we believe, a fact in regard to all lan- 
 guages, that in their earliest stage the words 
 mainly consist of two letters ; this is certainly 
 the case with English, as will be observed if 
 we notice the particles, inflections, prefixes 
 and suffixes. 
 
 Though our primary object is amusement, 
 yet we trust we shall never fail in a due re- 
 spect for sound learning and modest worth, 
 believing our mission to be not pure fun only, 
 but to elevate the intellect and satisfy the 
 heart.

 There is a luxuriance in the Orient 
 which is found nowhere else, and it is per- 
 fectly represented in the Oriental booth, as 
 well in the richness of its materials as in the 
 beauty and costumes of its occupants. As 
 they recline in voluptuous ease, surrounded 
 by the blazoned crescent and the other 
 emblems of their nationality, they give us a 
 life-like picture of the East. 
 
 Saturday's clear sky and bright sun 
 brought an immense throng to the Bazaar. 
 Our whole city and vicinity are evidently 
 going to see the great exhibition. 
 
 A Eemarkable Ouriosity, 
 Editor of the Cantkkn: 
 
 Sir — I feel inclined to apologize for ofiering 
 to your acceptance any communication of so 
 grave a cast as the present. If I were to 
 characterize most of the productions which 
 appear in your sheet (the main object of which 
 I do most heartily approve), I should, per- 
 haps, not unaptly, style them humorous, 
 highly humorous if you please, yet at the 
 same time forgive me for saying it, not alto- 
 gether instructive. 
 
 I have several times attended the Bazaar f> 
 with pleasure, and, allow me to say, with a 
 fair modicum of mental improvement to which 
 I apprehend all rational beings should endeavor 
 to attain. 
 
 The Curiosity Shop, or Museum of Ancient 
 and Modern Wonders (which as a more 
 euphonious and dignified cognomen, I would 
 have been pleased to oft'er to the Committee, 
 (had I the pleasure of an acquaintance with 
 any of them). I have found a source of un- 
 varying interest. 
 
 In that vast collection of the curious and ' 
 the wonderful, there is one object which has ■ 
 already excited among Archaeologists, a vast ' 
 degree of learned speculation and critical dis- 
 quisition. 
 
 It was contributed (for exhibition only) by 
 one (whom modesty forbids me to mention), 
 who has devoted the larger portion of, let me 
 believe a not altogether useless life, to anti- 
 quarian pursuits. 
 
 The present possessor (to whom I can only 
 allude), received it from a friend (himself no 
 mean proficient in the learned tongues, so un- 
 aptly denominated dead), recently returned 
 from a tour in the Orient. He obtained it 
 from the ruins of Troy, so that I am happy 
 to know that its authenticity is unquestionable, 
 and 1 believe that I may add unquestioned. 
 
 But I fear I weary your patience. The 
 
 curious will find it numbered in the 
 
 excellent and voluminous catalogue which has 
 been prepared with such care and issued in so 
 unexceptionable a manner. 
 
 This relic has a longitudinal proportion of 
 perhaps two inches, with a lateral diameter 
 of perhaps an inch and a half. The material is 
 unknown ; it is conjectured to be the papyrus of 
 the Nile, perhaps a substance of even a more 
 ancient date. It however bears a strong re- 
 semblance to our more modern pasteboard in 
 thickness and consistence. 
 
 It is, as might be imagined, in a very worn 
 condition, and the inscription is almost illegible. 
 This inscription is in various characters (three 
 varieties being distinctly marked), or variations 
 of the same language. Some of these charac- 
 ters are undoubtedly Greek. 
 
 Now it is well known that in the Ancient, 
 or Old Greek, so called by scholars, there 
 were at least three dialects, the Attic, tbg 
 
80, 
 
 t. 
 
 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Feb. 29. 
 
 Doric and the Corintliian, to which the tiiree 
 orders of architecture curiously coirespond. 
 They assert — and in this they are borne out 
 by Prof. Vanderlyn of the Baden Baden 
 University — that the inscription is in the 
 characters of these throe <Iialects, as follows : 
 Let the Roman character represent the 
 Attic; the Italic, the Doric; the old English, 
 the Corinthian ; and it would ajjpear as repre- 
 sented below. In the original, the words run 
 together ; Prof. Vanderlyn has separated them 
 as represented, so that they can be read cither 
 
 (So :-(»)d-:-5J 0-:-r®-:-nEs-:-fta-:-V-"R. 
 
 from left to right, or right to left, or even by 
 a third method of which we shall shortly 
 speak. So that even after the words are deci- 
 phered, the subject is not by any means divested 
 of its difficulties, as all Greek scholars know; 
 and even the person who has not had the 
 advantages of a rigid curriculum, can easily 
 perceive the fact when he is told that if the 
 aboT^ inscription, which employs the letters 
 of three dialects (if we adopt the concurring 
 testimony of the savans), is to be read as 
 Attic, we commence at the lefthand ; if as 
 Doric, it is to be read from the right (or 
 dexter) hand towards the left ; and if as Cor- 
 inthian, by commencing at the middle and 
 reading both ways, taking a letter alternately 
 from each side (right and left) to make up a 
 word/ 
 
 To only one word has any meaning yet been 
 given. Prof. Vanderlyn claims that the second 
 word in the inscription refers to the old Scan- 
 dinavian God of that name, and this is appa- 
 rently coi'tirmed by the close analogy which 
 unquestionably subsists between the Celtic 
 (or Keltui) tongue and the Old Greek; but 
 unfortunately this supposition at once becomes 
 untenable when the reading is by any other 
 than the Attic method. In fact, if read by 
 the Doric form, the word becomes Do, which 
 in Chaldce, Coptic, Assyrian, and even in 
 Englijih, ceases to be a nonien, and becomes u 
 verb of action. 
 
 He further goes on at great length to ob- 
 serve that from certain internal evidences (for 
 which you have scarcely room), he is inclined 
 to the opinion, allhongh he is not prepMred to 
 positively a.ssert the fact, that the date of this 
 intensely intere.sling relic is as old as lliat 
 war which made all Troy ring with deeds of 
 noble daring, that it might have been intended 
 to circulate as current coin of realm in lieu of 
 the ubolus, and that the name of ()d. the 
 deity is in some manner connected with a 
 Bolenin oath for its redemption on the cessa- 
 tion of hostilities. 
 
 But this hypothesis, fascmating though it 
 be, of course, rests entirely on the Attic in- 
 terpretation. Much, very much, still n-mains 
 for elucidation, and if this cominuuication 
 shall result iu calling the attention of our 
 
 Greek scholars (and we boast no mean ones), 
 to the unraveling of this mystery, its object 
 will have been accomplished. 
 
 I remain, Sir, 
 
 With sentiments of esteem, 
 Very respectfully, 
 .1 Your obedient servant,

 sketch of the Military department. This de- 
 partment is one of the most interesting of thd 
 Bazaar, and the record, however valuable 
 now, will possess a still greater value in future 
 years. 
 
 The beauty of the ladies who form so 
 conspicuous a part of the grand panorama of 
 the Bazaar, whether in the booths, at the 
 refreshment tables, or presenting their 
 schemes in so urgent yet winsome a way, is 
 on every one's lips. They have, indeed, 
 
 — Such radiant eyes, 
 Such lovely motion, and such sharp replies. 
 As an illustration of their readiness at the 
 the latter — ' sharp replies ' — we have to record 
 that when one of these ladies, on urging " a 
 chance " upon a gentleman the other day, was 
 told that she would have to go to a " bigger 
 fool " than he, she immediately responded, 
 " It would be impossible to find one." 
 
 15^ The poet has sung : 
 "Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul. 
 And waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole." 
 
 Can this refer to any sympathetic commu- 
 nication between Japan and Russia ? Won't 
 somebody inform us "? 
 
 The largest room in the world is the " room 
 for improvement."

 It soothes with quietude every emotion,

 For tee Canteen. 
 "A Node," 
 
 BESPECIFDLLT DEDICATED TO J. O. S . 
 
 We hailed your advent, John G. S o, 
 
 As poet-punster shrewd and witty ; 
 
 We thought von wi?e in " making tracks " 
 I'or our old Knickerbocker city. 
 
 We've stretched our raoulhs from " hear to 
 hear," 
 
 When you your " Psalms and Hymns" recited; 
 And, at each pun tliat did appear, 
 
 We've been distressedly delighted. 
 
 No other great, Greeu mountaineer 
 
 Could wo hare welcomed h.ilf ao truly ; 
 
 But whether we were wise, we fear 
 Must be considered gravely, duly. 
 
 You're sometimes in a morsil vein. 
 
 But as you, tbat way, never weary us ; 
 
 Pray, are you not " a little grain " 
 More oleaginous than " cereous? " 
 
 You take siTch license with the tongue, 
 You'll make our words all " double enders ; " 
 
 And start our English from the bung, 
 Upon the craziest of " benders." 
 
 And then your talent is so great. 
 
 To crush our wits, don't trouble you ; 
 
 We even fear you are the " mate " 
 Of funny Holmes, 0. W. 
 
 We fear he dare not do his best. 
 Though safe a far-off ultramontist ; 
 
 Lest you should put him to the test. 
 And beat him as a contra-pun-tist. 
 
 Our wits dare not pop off their puns. 
 
 Your very presence stifles them ; 
 You've drawn the charge from all their guns, 
 
 You might as well next rifle them. 
 
 Don't tell them just to wait a bit, 
 
 There's no exhausting such a wag full : 
 
 Whew I he's a man who deals out wit 
 From Saxe, and always by the bag full. 
 
 We're as a people staidly Dutch, 
 
 Dutch, Dutch, both in and out of season, 
 
 But we have made of you too much.

 f^~ There was a beautiful love-feast at 
 Tweddle Hall the other day. Those who 
 came up from New York were particularly 
 demonstrative, so that a portion, receiving a 
 hint and taking it, without waiting for a kick 
 respectfully took their hats and left.

 THE SCOTTISH BOOTH. 
 
 Facing the main entrance, the Scottish 
 Booth is one of the most prominent features 
 of the Bazaar. Unostentatiou? and even se- 
 vere in its appointments, and rigidly national, 
 it contrasts strongly and to mutual advantage 
 with some of the airier representations that 
 surround it. The space is in the form of a 
 triangle. The main front as well as the in- 
 terior, represents the solid stone architecture 
 of the old Scottish castles. The national arras 
 are displayed. (We say national, for in the 
 upheavals that are to rock Europe from center 
 to circumference, Scotland must again be free.) 
 At the back, in the interior is a full lengtli 
 painting of St. Andrew (said to be a capital 
 likeness), supporting the cross (X). The 
 adornments on the walls represent ancient 
 armor and other characteristic emblems. The 
 
 St. Andrew's Society took the initiative, and 
 the members of the committee have been in- 
 defatigable in every thing that was necessary 
 to do credit to auld Scotia in the land of their 
 adoption ; but a day or two sufficed to prove, 
 that all must confess who have studied the 
 features of this great fair, that without the 
 lassies, God bless them, little could be hoped 
 for. Contributions of articles and money 
 were freely tendered, but to Mrs. James Mc- 
 Naughton and Mrs. George Shortiss, the credit 
 is in a great measure due, in carrying out the 
 part assigned to St. Andrew. They are in 
 almost constant attendance, and are ably 
 assisted by the following " bonnie lassies: " 
 Misses Anna Stimpson, Fannie Cochrane, Mr. 
 Bruce, Kate Wilson, JIargaret McNaughton, 
 Jane McNaughton, JIargaret Boyd, Mary 
 Roy, Sarah Potts, Sarah Brown and Misses 
 Davidson and Dickson. 
 
 The tartan and bonnet, and a St. Andrews 
 scarf, are the distinguishing features of their 
 dress ; for the rest they need no adornment, 
 worthy daughters of a noble race. 
 
 The articles of most interest in this booth 
 were quickly disposed of. They consisted, in 
 part, of a French gilt chair, valued at ^ilOO; 
 a beautiful shell basket, $40 ; four sofa pillars, 
 $00 ; 'two cases of elegant wa.x flowers, a 
 play-house, etc. They have still on hand a 
 splendid Japanese work table, $75; set of 
 Japanese tables, two fine oil paintings, a case of 
 skeleton flowers, a frame of beautiful shell 
 flowers, and any quantity of fancy articles 
 and dry goods. 
 
 The young ladies of the Ijooth have had 
 their pictures taken in groups, copies are for 
 sale at the counter. 
 
 The booth, though a large one, proved too 
 small, and a branch was established on the 
 second day. It is located on (lie platform, at 
 the south end of the west nave, and decorated 
 with the St. Andrews' banneis, and American 
 flags. Here Mis.s M. Bruce presides, assisted 
 by Misses Seath, Jcannie Bruce, McNeven, 
 A. J. Shanks, A. Holmes, M. Greer and N. 
 Marten. 
 
 To Mr. D. W. Shanks and Mr. Walter Dick- 
 son, great credit is due for the artistic style in 
 which the booths are fitted up. The follow- 
 
 ing gentlemen are on the St. Andrew's com- 
 mittee : James Roy, T. McCredie, James 
 Duncan, Walter Dickson, John McIIafiie, P. 
 Smith, D. W. Shanks, Wm. Ellis, James 
 Cruikshank, and others. 
 
 It is needless to say that from their past 
 history, and their traditions, none can enter 
 with more spirit into the double object of this 
 fair loyalty and benevolence, than Scotsmen 
 and their descendants. 
 
 THE SHAKER BOOTH. 
 There are many attractions at the Shaker 
 establishment here, as there are at their quiet 
 home but a few miles from the city. The 
 wonder is that so many of the demure sisters 
 could be induced to remain so long among the 
 giddy throng of the outer world. The end 
 to be attained — relief to the sick and wounded 
 soldiers — sanctiQes the means, or we imagine 
 they so satisfy themselves. Sage, rue, bone- 
 set, peppermint, ground or unground, brooms, 
 baskets, bonnets, fans, arm-chairs, book-cases, 
 rugs, affghans, of the best and neatest manu- 
 facture, grace their well-Iaden shelves and 
 counters. The unaffected manner of their 
 intercourse, and their simplicitj' in trading, 
 win to their warehouse a goodly number of 
 customers. With the closing of the Bazaar, 
 the probability is that they all will take up 
 their residences permanently in the city. 
 They have taken measures, however, to per- 
 petuate the memory of " ancient days," and 
 offer in a raflle a miniature shaker meeting 
 house filled witli worshipers — all in for the 
 dance — with a sprinkling of the world's folk 
 in gaudy dresses and everlasting hoops as 
 spectators. A number of very beautiful fans, 
 each cut out of a single piece of gnni wood, 
 by rebel prisoners on Johnson's island, are on 
 exhibition and sale. They were sent to the 
 Bazaar in recognition of the kind treatment 
 the prisoners had received at the hands of 
 their captors. The managers and ladies in 
 attendance are Mrs. Franklin Townscnd, Miss 
 Kittle Emerson, Miss JIary S. Dodge, Miss 
 Mary Carpenter, Miss Sarah Crosby, Miss 
 Anna Redtield, Miss Emily Barnes, Mr. and 
 Mrs. Buel, Henry T. Martin and Charles 
 Carpenter.

 THE HOLLAND BOOTIL 
 
 We have here a portrait of the 1st Patroon, 
 and also one of his wife. They were the fir.st 
 of the illustrious line who inhabited the Manor 
 House ; a fac simile of tlie pulpit built in 
 Holland, brought over the ocean and erected 
 in the old Dutch Church, at the intersection 
 of State street and Broadway, in 1C5S. It is 
 made from the oak of which the pulpit was 
 constructed ; a looking-glass one hundred and 
 fifty years old ; a Holland flag ; a cake baked 
 in Holland fourteen years ago, and sent to Dr. 
 Wyckoff as a recognition of his aid to the 
 emigrants. 
 
 The Holland Booth is attended by the 
 lineal descendants of the old stock who traded 
 with the Indians, smoked their long pipes, ate 
 olykookes and enjoyed life. The ladies bear 
 tliese things in remembrance, and revive the 
 glorious old customs of the past, by offering 
 the visitor a pipe, and inviting him to sit down 
 at a quilting, where the material is stitched 
 on a frame, which is supported on the tops of 
 chairs, and surrounded by a merry group of 
 quiltcrs, plying the needle and chatting as of 
 old. The spinning-wheel is in the back- 
 ground. There is an air of neatness and com- 
 fort about the head-dresses of the ladies in 
 attendance, and, indeed, it pervades their 
 whole attire. Their liigh combs, charming 
 caps, well putled hair, neat boddices and 
 aprons, and graceful skirts, bring to remem- 
 brance the old church and the fort, the stores 
 and the dwellings under one roof. So aptly 
 are tlie characters and manners of the ladies 
 of 1790 represented, that an old Burgeser, 
 present one evening, thought he could see the 
 church where he was wed, and the hillside 
 where she sleeps. The ladies who preside so 
 gracefully here are Miss Catharine Pruyn, 
 Mrs. Evans, Mrs. P. G. Ten Eyck, Mrs. Her- 
 man Ten Eyck, Mrs. J. Sanders, Mrs. Brinker- 
 hoff, Mrs. Elmeudorf, Miss Maria E. Van 
 Rensselaer, Miss Sarah J. Brown, MissL3dia 
 Vosburgh, Miss Mattie Fonday, Miss Board- 
 man, Miss Fislier, Jliss Bell, Miss Van Zandt, 
 Miss Carrie lloff. Miss Van Olinda, Miss VVil- 
 Bon, assisted by Lansing Pruyn. Jr., and Mr. 
 Van Zandt. 
 
 SARATOGA. 
 
 We are now at the Springs, the fountain of 
 heilth. A quarter and a cork-screw are 
 necessary. Saratoga commands the attention 
 of the fashionable world. The Orientals arc 
 here, the French flit past, the military tarry, 
 the Germans lounge around, the Shakers stay 
 away, the Sybil comes, the Indians leave their 
 wares, the tide of travel has set in and Sara- 
 toga is gay. H 're we have a magnificent 
 dressing gown, a c jllcction of leaves from the 
 Holy Land, Parian maihlcs, photographic 
 albums, a splendid silk bed-quilt, a superb 
 breakfast shawl (just the thing for the 
 
 Springs), an exquisite aflglian, a superb c^I- 
 leclion of sofa cushions, fine pictures, and a 
 great variety of wares fur use and ornament. 
 The modes in all parts of the world are con- 
 stantly in view at this celebrated resort of 
 fasliion and be.'.uty. The ladies in attendance 
 are Mrs. Washington Putnam, Mrs. D. S. 
 Pierce, Mrs. Dexter Knolton, Miss Kate Bar- 
 ber, 5Iiss Edwards, Miss Mary Foote, assisted 
 by Mr. W. Newland.

 The Ticketof-Leuve-Miin still continuee to attract 
 large audiencea to thin favorite iiiul fashional)Ie [ilace 
 of anmsement. The piece iteelf is defiorvinx of more 
 coueidemtion than time or space will permit at pre- 
 eent. Tko Ticket-of-Leave-Man inculcates a moral 
 worthy the attention of all olassea of our citizenti. 
 Crime'is depicted in its mowt glowinn; colors, with 
 all the associated knavery dependent theieon ; and 
 all who have witnessetf the representation must 
 admit that the plot, scenery and iin(>ereonation of 
 the characters are excellent, from hej^inning to end. 
 The Ticket-of-Leavo-Man will keep possession of 
 the Academy for some time. 
 
 The London Times, in speakinj; of this j^reat 
 moral drama, mentions a fact to which thef)rovincial 
 press of Great Britain and Ireland lias given con- 
 firmation. 
 
 A clerk who had ahsconded fi-om Liverpool with 
 £2,500, the property of his employers, after visiting 
 many places, arrived at Birmingham about 5 o'clock, 
 and au«r taking some refreshment, went to a popu- 
 lar place of amusement, to while away an liour. 
 Ab it happened, the piece which was beintr per- 
 formed on the occasion of this visit, was the licket- 
 of-Leave-Man, and the gnilty man seems to have 
 drawn a moral from the representation, for when 
 the scene in which the interview between Hawk- 
 Bhaw, the detective, and the Ticket- of- Leave -Man 
 took place, Parker, the clerk, became so affected, 
 that he went out of the theatre, got three envelopes, 
 and sent £1,500 back to his employers.

 The Work of Loyalty and Charity. 
 
 What is the olijoct of our great Bazaar? 
 What is to be aocoraplisheil by all this mag- 
 nificence of display and enthusiasm of devo- 
 tion? Their ultimate end is certainly nut 
 achieved in the gratification of local pride, of 
 a love for the beautiful, of an interest in the 
 curious and the wonderful, however mucli 
 these sentiments may have contributed to the 
 perfection of the work. They owe their in- 
 spiration rather to the patriotic and earnest 
 purpose of rendering material aid and comfort 
 to those gallant soldiers who have been pros- 
 trated by disease or wounds while fighting in 
 the service of their country. This great work 
 is the irrepressible outburst of the sympathy 
 felt by loyal hearts for those who are periling 
 all to preserve the nation's existence. It is a 
 grand expression of the popular devotion to 
 the country's cause. It is an overwhelming 
 evidence of the popular conviction that this 
 cause is just, and that those who are struggling 
 to maintain it in the field have a paramount 
 claim upon the fullest sympathy and the 
 heartiest support of their countrymen. It is, 
 in short, the offspring of loyalty and charity, 
 embodying their united impulses, and bearing 
 the unquestionable marks of both. 
 
 It would be singular, indeed, if these senti- 
 ments did not impel us to glorious deeds. 
 There never was a stronger appeal to the 
 loyalty of a people. The war in which the 
 nation is involved was forced upon it. The 
 unscrupulous leaders of the South, erroneously 
 estimating the determination and spirit of the 
 North, and blackening their lips with tlic 
 most flagitious falsehoods, carried their fol- 
 lowers into reV^ellion. They sought to destroy 
 the nation's life, and the nation could do 
 nothing less than defend its life. It had im- 
 posed no burdens. It could be charged with 
 no offense. It could be made the subject of 
 no just complaint. Nothing but the richest 
 blessings of liberty, of happiness, of protec- 
 tion and prosperity, had fallen from its lap. 
 When, then, it was assailed by treacherous 
 hands, the loyalty of the country was imme- 
 diately put to the test. The blow aimed at 
 its heart struck the key-note of a response 
 which has rung out with emphatic clearness, 
 and its echoes will not die until the rebellion 
 has been effectually crushed. In proportion 
 to the flagrant guilt of the treason, was the 
 strength and force of the appeal to loyal hearts. 
 The beneficence of their Government, its own 
 
 innocence of all blame, the unquestionable 
 fact that the conflict was forced upon it, and 
 that the South aimed at nothing less than its 
 life, were an inspiration to patriotic action 
 such as history never before recorded. The 
 reply of the nation has been commensurate 
 with the greatness of the demand. The war 
 has been carried on with a power which has 
 astonished the world. The loyalty of the 
 country will continue to carry it on until 
 treason shall have been crushed beyond the 
 hope of resurrection. Burke says that " men 
 and states to be secure must be respected." 
 Power and eminence and consideration are 
 things not to be begged." This is as em- 
 phatically true of domestic factions as of foreign 
 nations. To be secure from their repetition, 
 treason and rebellion must be absolutely and 
 irremediably destroyed, and theloj'alty which 
 finds vent in these unexampled demonstrations 
 for the soldiers, is tuned to the right key to 
 accomplish what justice and future security 
 alike demand. These soldiers, volunteering 
 from among the people, from our own midst, 
 to engaf c in the struggle, to defend our rights 
 and homes, to preserve for us the richest 
 legacies ever bequeathed a people, have the 
 highest claim upon our sympathies and sup- 
 port. Our loyalty calls upon us to sustain 
 them, our charity requires us to tnitigate their 
 sufl'erings, and the two noble sentiments find 
 a fitting expression in the great Fair which 
 so absorbingly interests us all. 
 
 Mr. Wells, of the Curiosity Shop, has 
 had placed in his hands a representation of the 
 first Congressional fight printed about the 
 year 1800. We suppose it is a caricature, but 
 we do not observe that it differs materially 
 from the realities of the last few years, save 
 in the intellectual appearance of the parties. 
 
 J^" A gentleman from Amsterdam declined 
 taking one of the last shinplasters of the 
 Government at the Ticket ofilce the other day, 
 saying that they were not received in his 
 town. We can hardly blame the Amsterdam- 
 ians, as the first sight is rather appalling. 
 
 55^ The Manufacturer's Department at the 
 Bazaar is not receiving the attention which it 
 merits. Located in a separate building, though 
 having an entrance between the United States 
 and Yankee Booths, it escapes the observation 
 of most persons. But it will well repay a 
 visit. It is distinguished by utility rather 
 than beauty, and it contains a great variety 
 of implements and articles. Messrs. AVheeler, 
 Melick & Co. have donated to it one of their 
 improved Horse Powers and Thresher valued 
 at three hundred and fifty dollars. This is to 
 be disposed of by lottery, the price of tickets 
 having been fixed at one dollar. There are 
 numerous other articles including stoves, cut- 
 ters, &c., and many of them also will be put 
 up at lottery. 
 
 KA-CHUGS. 
 
 11^" The American law of escheat origi- 
 nated in a profound and most considerate 
 policy. After the abolition of entails, no 
 mode of tying up an estate and preserving it 
 for heirs, had been suggested, which was sat- 
 isfactory both to the public and the legal 
 profession. But under our law of escheat, 
 you have but to commit treason enough to 
 work a forfeiture, and Uncle Sam immediately 
 selects some trustworthy, industrious and 
 loyal man to take charge of your estate during 
 the residue of your miserable life ; and when 
 you die (which will be pretty soon, since the 
 new species of life estates seems likely to be 
 terminated by death, much sooner than occurs 
 in the case of virtuous widows who are in for 
 dower), your heirs take your estate. You 
 being a whiskey drinking, tobacco chewing, 
 horse racing, slave breeding, gambling, idle 
 fellow, might, and no doubt, would have 
 squandered your estate and cheated your 
 heirs ; but such a disaster has been kindly 
 prevented by Uncle Sam, in order to establish 
 and perpetuate your breed, for which he has 
 always shown an amazing fondness. 
 
 ^^ It is wonderful how silent the rapping 
 spirits have been during the war. There 
 seems to be only a certain amount of rapping 
 to be done in the world, and when the soldiers 
 do it the spirits are superseded. They will ■ 
 however be restored at the peace, with nu- 
 merous new subjects for exhibition. We 
 understand that Judge Edmonds is now 
 studying military tactics so as to be able to act 
 as an intelligent medium for military ghosts. 
 
 i:^" Jeff. Davis is admitted to be an able 
 writer, and we who paid for his schooling have i 
 a right to be proud of his literary accomplish- 
 ments ; but as men improve by time and 
 experience, we expect to derive more pleasure 
 from the perusal of his last speech than from 
 any other. 
 
 ^P" There are persons of our name who 
 seek to sink it altogether by overlaying it 
 with some striking substitute. Such persona 
 might as well not lay claim to any connection 
 with our family. By way of illustration, take 
 the case of the Appeals Reporter, who sinks 
 the Smith under an " E. Peshine." This 
 gentleman is suspected of The New Gospel of 
 Peace, and if he had fairly owned his name | 
 we should have been proud of the suspicion , ' 
 and might have hinted him into a splendid 
 reputation.

 THE CANTEEN

 A Letter from Brooklyn-The Brooklyn Pair. 
 Brooklyn, Feb. 25, 18C4. 
 My Dear Fellow : Wlien you and I hob- 
 nobbed over sweet cider in the dim back room 
 of the college club, and fought the battle of 
 temperance and — well, never mind — in that 
 limited arena, I confess it would have startled 
 me to have had you prophecy that within so few 
 years you would propose to me to contribute 
 to your " Canteen," in the hard-drinking, 
 conservative city ef Albany. But in these 
 days we are startled at nothing, not even at 
 these vast miracles of patriotism and power 
 springing up around us which we call Sanitary 
 Fairs, nor at any of their results. I congra- 
 tulate you on having invented the name of an 
 article which is habitually associated with 
 spirited contents, and must have the credit of 
 having often aided in the refreshment of the 
 tired or wounded soldier. Heaven grant that 
 yours may do the same. 
 
 Have you the Fair fever very badly in Al- 
 bany ? We are at the very height of the 
 attack here. I wonder if you were as irrita- 
 ble under the premonitory symptoms as we ? 
 Did you have quarrels in your committees, 
 and jealousies among your officers, and piques 
 on the part of contributors, and grumbling 
 about prices of admission, and subdued swear- 
 ing about rafSes, and general agitation on the 
 liquor question, and an uprising of the clergy, 
 and a down-sitting of the ladies — in despair ? 
 And did you — financially — worry your city 
 railroad companies, and badger the proprie- 
 tors of the South Ferry, and get entertain- 
 ments out of your reading circles, and impro- 
 vise amateur concerts, and startle play-goers 
 with private theatricals, and transfigure your 
 lads and lassies into impossible characters in 
 tableaux vivants, and drench your news- 
 papers with communications, and produce a 
 universal sense of depletion in the 75,000 
 pockets of your generous inhabitants 1 
 And, to come to tlie point, after consultation 
 on Sunday, and a crowd on Monday, and a 
 squeeze on Tuesday, and a general jam on 
 Wednesday, do your net receipts foot up 
 $150,000'? Knot, I declare I don't believe 
 you have had, or are having anything like a 
 genuine fever. It may be a serious attack, 
 and result in considerable excitement, but 
 there will be no regular run. 
 
 I see you are to have a Knickerbocker 
 booth. In deference to the remote period 
 when Long Island was Dutch, we have 
 dubbed our refreshment room " Knicker- 
 bocker Hall." It is redeeming, in its teeming 
 hospitality and genuine good cheer, all the 
 promise implied in the name. 
 
 We also have a New England Kitchen, in 
 deference to the powerful and respectable ele- 
 ment in our midst, which hails from New 
 England, and naturally divides itself into the 
 saints, the sinners and the Beecher family — the 
 
 first moving the churches, the second the 
 purses, and the third a little of both. And 
 we have a very fine collection of paintings, 
 with two genuine Stuarts, one of Washington, 
 and one of the " Lowland Beauty " ho fel 1 in love 
 with, afterwards the mother of "Light Horse 
 Harry" Lee, and with contributions from 
 Eastman, Johnson, Church, Kensett, Biers tadt, 
 Giflbrd, Dellaas, Rossiter, and our Brooklyn 
 artists, not so famous, but in some cases quite 
 as attractive. And we have any amount of 
 relics and curiosities, chief of which we value 
 a bale of free-labor cotton, and a hogshead of 
 free-labor sugar, the one from South Carolina, 
 the other from Louisiana. 
 
 And in our "Auditorium," which is the 
 high sounding name for the main part of our 
 Academy of Music, we have the vast sales 
 rooms, with contributions of infinite variety, 
 from a pincushion up to the Paris invoice im- 
 ported for the occasion ; and the English and 
 Scotch gift, valued at fl!4,000, and freighted 
 with the good will of a thousand times that 
 worth. 
 
 But I will not burden you with details 
 which must come as food to the filled and 
 fattened. Wishing you and your Canteen 
 God-speed in the noble work, I shake hands, 
 and good-bye. e. C. 
 
 That Remarkable Curiosity, 
 
 Tkoy, Feb. 29, 1864. 
 Mb. Smith, Editoe, &c., Sir : 
 
 This morning I went to the barber shop of 
 Ceas. White (au American citizen of African de- 
 scent), for my accustomed shave. Much to my 
 surprise I found him and his journeymen al- 
 most exploding with mirth. Ceas. was exclaim- 
 ing : What fools dem Albany folks is ; ob course 
 dat card wid de oonscuption on was foun' in de 
 ruins ob Troy, fur dey was lost wen de ole shop 
 was burnt." 
 
 When he had sufficiently recovered from his 
 uproarious mirth, he told me substantially as 
 fo Hows in the accompanying affidavit. I had 
 him swear to the statement, feeling that you 
 had a right to the clearest t-stimony before you 
 submitted to the mortification consequent upon 
 the true interpretation of the mysterious in- 
 scription. 
 
 State of New York, Rensselaer County, ss : 
 
 Julius Cffisar White being duly sworn, de- 
 poses and says : That on or about the 27th day 
 of June last past, the barber shop of the said 
 White, being the premises known as No. 1776 
 Water street, was burnt, and that several pack- 
 ages of " (Jood for one shave," in letters of dif- 
 ferent sizes and sorts, were at that time either 
 burnt or lost, and that from the description in 
 the Casteen, he verily believes that the antique 
 card therein described is one of the said cards. 
 That the said cards have on the back his auto- 
 graph, written by his journeyman, in the fol- 
 lowing words : /. Caesar While (he the said 
 White being unable to write). And further de- 
 ponent saith not. his 
 
 J. C^SAR }x- WHITE, 
 mark. 
 Sworn and subscribed before 5 cent rev. 
 
 this 29th day of Feb., 1864. stamp can- 
 
 A. Black, J. P. celled. 
 
 On receiving the above communication, we 
 were incredulous, but deeming it our duty to 
 investigate the matter fully, we proceeded to 
 the Bazaar, where the card in question was 
 pointed out to us by the estimable superin- 
 tendent, R. H. Wells, Esq. 
 
 On removing a stratum and substratum of 
 dirt from the back, we regret to say that we 
 unmistakably discovered the autograph of 
 White ; and so thanks to our sheet, the mis- 
 take or imposition is exposed.

 U is said that Gen. Halleck will resign if

 will resign. Most certainly he will resign — 
 resign himself to the new dispensation.

 Oaths, vows and promises are much protested — 
 By rebels, when we cannot be resisted, — 
 Sometimes we can be, — then, when least ex- 
 pected — 
 Oaths, vows and promises are quite neglected ; — 
 As Ben. Butler says. 
 
 Una dies Dixii ad bellum miserat omnes — 
 Ad bellum missos perdidit una dies. 
 One day the Dixians stoutly warred, — 
 One day the Dixiana were destroyed ; 
 
 Jts old Burton says.

 THE CURIOSITY SHOP. 
 I. 
 The Bazaar ! Oli tlie Bazaar I 
 What treasure it exhibits ; 
 There's not a circumstance of war 
 But's fouud among its rare bits. 
 There are the sword of Washington, 
 His coat and vest and breeches — 
 Which lie wore at the resignation 
 Of his office at Annapolis, 
 
 II. 
 
 And there's his old camp-chest and service 
 
 His tea-board and liis tent; 
 
 His treasure chost and writing case 
 
 That UncU Sam lias lent, 
 
 To his daugliters dear at Albany, 
 
 At the request of Mr. Pruyn, 
 
 That they might wrest a pretty penny 
 
 From your pockets, sir, iind mine. 
 
 III. 
 There's Franklin's cane with golden head. 
 The coat of General Jackson, 
 And epaulets which the British red- 
 Coats did turn their back on ; 
 There are Im.ium's siiawls of camels' hair, 
 As fine dear Miss as your'n. 
 And yet not good enough they were 
 For President Van Buren. 
 
 IV. 
 And there's Napoleon's garden chair, 
 The stick that Dr. Sprague cut, — 
 M'ith Doctor Watt's book of prayer. 
 And A patch of Voltaire's blanket ; 
 Also a Continental bill, 
 Greenback of olden time, — 
 And Holly from a Holy W.'1I,— 
 With things that will not rhyme. 
 
 A feather lucked up near a tree — 
 From wing of goose or loon — 
 Where Byron wrote " Augusta," 
 Or her initials, with his own ; 
 A hazel twig and chestnut bough. 
 An urn from Herculaneum; 
 These things are rare as you must know. 
 And worth the seeing on 'em. 
 
 VI. 
 There's Praise God Sarcbones' very sword. 
 
 And one of Second Charles' time 
 
 A fighting still upon my word, 
 
 As though they liked the p.astime ; 
 
 Surrounding these are g.auutlets, spurs. 
 
 Helmets, daggers, claymores, 
 
 With which to .accommodate ye, sirs. 
 
 Who wish to settle old scores. 
 
 VII. 
 There's a famous statue, " Mars in liepose,^' 
 Well known among the Federals, 
 
 It is copied — I tell you under the rose 
 
 From our idle Major Generals ; 
 
 There .are two Idols from New York, 
 Images of Fernando and Ben Wood ; 
 A pipe bowl from an Indian Grave 
 Near our Machine at Kenwood. 
 
 VIII. 
 A woman seated in a chair, 
 Holding a bird and her tongue — 
 A thing we rather think as rare, 
 As aught we've seen or sung ; 
 Then there's the Son called " Prodigal," 
 With an interesting face — 
 And of Swiss Costumes, " A Bell Pull," 
 With Orange and Lemon Sauce. 
 
 IX. 
 
 Nails from a Pompeiian hardware house. 
 
 Good for your use and mine. 
 
 And will be held fo;- sale by us 
 
 Far cheaper than Mr. Pruyn; 
 
 A copy there is of Mosaic, 
 
 In the form of ancient paving, 
 
 Which pertained to a poet tragic 
 
 By the name of Cave Cancm. 
 
 Of a family well known to fame. 
 But of which you have heard no good. 
 We have two further specimens. 
 To wit, Fossil and Olive Wood ; 
 A cone from the ancient cedars. 
 And water from the Dead Sea, 
 As dead as men get of fevers, 
 Or as the waters of Tivoli. 
 
 XI. 
 Another Wood! "with a ball in it," — 
 Don't rejoice, it is not Fernando, 
 But a bit of innocent timber 
 The Doctor picked up at Waterloo ; 
 Then Olive Wood occurs again. 
 The family seems as numerous 
 As the Smiths, although 'tis plain 
 They are not half as humorous. 
 
 XII. 
 
 We've a model of a leaning tower, — 
 
 The one near falling at Pisa, — 
 
 And a " Piece" from the ruins of Utica, 
 
 One that has fallen, we say ; 
 
 We have shells from Salamis, Greece, 
 
 A pebble from the Dead Sea, 
 
 .\nd lava from Mount Vesuvius, 
 
 With a column in Porphyry. 
 
 XIII. 
 
 We've a model of the Bell of St. Peters, 
 But here we must promptly declare. 
 If you'd see the belles — thesweet creatures- 
 You must look for them in the Bazaar ■ 
 We've a specimen also of Cotton, 
 Grown in the ruins of Pompeii — 
 Where the plant seems to have got on, 
 As well as in the ruins of Dixii.

 THE IRISH BOOTH. 
 
 This booth is situated a little northeast of 
 the main entrance from Washington Avenue, 
 and immediately attracts the eye bj"^ its simple 
 beauty and unique surroundings. That which 
 first renders it a prominent object to the spec- 
 tator, is a brilliant dependency of gas-jets, in 
 shape of a Harp; while the whole space is 
 beautifully draped with American and Irish 
 national colors, and Harp and Shamrock every 
 wllfere bespangle the deep-green hangings. A 
 fine oil painting of Ireland's Patron Saint, in 
 full canonicals, adorns one face of the booth ; 
 and the banner of the Hibernian Provident 
 Society, with its field of green and gold, fit- 
 ingly appears among the tasteful ornamenta- 
 tions. Splendid mirrors form an appropriate 
 background to a tout ensemble that reflects 
 not only excellent arrangement of design and 
 execution, but intense patriotism, and the 
 never-dying love of Fatherland which is an 
 inseparable ingredient of Irish character. 
 
 The ladies in attendance upon the Booth 
 are fitting representatives of a land whose 
 historic fame for " brave men and fair wo- 
 men " holds good all over the world. And 
 the crowd of purchasers who throng the space 
 immediately around the Booth, almost uni- 
 versally exhibit marked characteristics of the 
 Milesian race. One can scarcely resist the 
 soft importunities of those who bid you " C'ead 
 millia falta " in the name of our sick and 
 wounded soldiers ; and many a dollar, as if 
 suddenly imbued with vitality, springs from 
 purse-repose at the magic call. There is one 
 noticeable drawback, which we hope to see 
 remedied before the Bazaar closes: a total 
 absence of the type of costume peculiar to old 
 Erin. No costume in the world — not even 
 that of the Italian peasantry — is so really 
 picturesque ; and we trust some of " Hiber- 
 nia's lovely daughters" will enhance its beauty 
 by their own. 
 
 A spirit of generous rivalry per\'adcs the 
 Irish Booth — a determination not to bo out- 
 done, either in style and variety of contribu- 
 
 tions, or in the amount of money realized. It 
 is a commendable feeling, and almost sure to 
 be successful. 
 
 The Booth is replete with articles of every 
 description (donated and purchased), which 
 cannot fail to please the most varied taste, 
 and additions are being daily made. Where 
 everything is so recherche, it may perhaps be 
 deemed invidious to make any distinction — 
 more particularly as nearly all the articles have 
 before been commented upon; but we can 
 not avoid speaking of a few articles, even at 
 tlic risk of repetition : 
 
 A gorgeous parlor screen, worked in vari- 
 ou's-colorcd worsteds and beads, at a convent 
 in Montreal, having a peacock for the princi- 
 pal figure, with flowers, &c., on ground work. 
 It is framed in ebony and gilt, and is pro- 
 nounced the most beautiful work of that 
 nature in the world. 
 
 Photograph of Gen. McClellan at his head- 
 quarters, the frame for which was cut from a 
 solid piece of marble, by Mr. E. Hanlon. It 
 is a gem. 
 
 Magnificent sofa pillow, covered with yel- 
 low satin, and elaborately worked in colored 
 silks, gold, silver, &c., the gift of Mrs. Re- 
 corder Austin. A really superb article, sug- 
 gestive of oriental splendor. 
 
 Finden's Tableaux, profusely illustrated, and 
 a very large Douay Bible, both elegantly 
 bound in Turkey Morocco. A neat dona, 
 tion from Mr. R. Dwyer, Superintendent of 
 Albany County Idiot Asylum. 
 
 " Tara's Hall " — house made entirely from 
 burrs aninutshells, furnished and surmount- 
 ed with Harp ensign and American flag. A 
 truly ingenious gift, by Mrs. Charles O'Brien. 
 
 Large full-rigged ship, in glass case, donated 
 by David Neligan, Esq. This is perhaps jthe 
 most perfect article in the fair, and is fully 
 competent to " sail in " in praise of itself. 
 
 An Irish Thrush, in cage, is a very appro- 
 priate donation to the Booth, and its notes 
 will undoubtedly produce other notes of a 
 description highly conducive to the pecuniary 
 success of the Bazaar. 
 
 Picture — "Breaking up of Home"— framed 
 in black walnut, and presented by William 
 Fleming, Esq. It is a munificent contribu- 
 
 tion, and the donor is one of those who never 
 goes half-way in a good work. 
 
 French Morocco Traveling Bag, a donation 
 from L. M. Rodgers & Bro. ; the workman- 
 ship is of the very highest order. 
 
 A superb Wine Stand and Set, the gift of 
 Alderman McManus, of Troy. 
 
 Rich Tea Set of gilt china, articles which 
 doubtless every one would like " to have in 
 the house." 
 
 Gold and Silver Medals, Rosaries, &c., 
 blessed by the hands of Pope Pius IX, and 
 presented to the Booth by E. C. Delevan, 
 Esq., and Miss Harriot Weed. Nothing could 
 well surpass them in interest to the Catholic 
 patrons of the Bazaar. 
 
 In the Curiosity Shop is a donation mada 
 specially to this Booth, of one hundred Canes, 
 manufactured from a Palmetto log sent by 
 Gen. Corcoran to Capt. P. H. Griffin, of this 
 city, while the former was a prisoner in 
 Charleston, S. C. The gallant Captain though 
 corporeally small, has a big heart. 
 
 The general assortment of articles is such 
 as to please almost every taste, and shows ex- 
 cellent discrimination in selection. 
 
 None have more nobly responded to this 
 patriotic work than our Irish fellow-citizens ; 
 and, by the way, none have more reason for 
 makin" every effort to preserve the Union in- 
 tact, and to cherish its defenders. America 
 has always held out the right hand of fellow- 
 ship across the ocean to poor Erin's children ; 
 and when settled upon our soil, has bestowed 
 with no niggardly hand the highest honors of 
 citizenship upon them. 
 
 Let no one forget the Irish Booth ! If any 
 have been thus far lukewarm, let them come 
 up to the standard of efBcient aid— so that 
 the Harp may be attuned to the glorious 
 notes of Victory, when the bustle and turmoil 
 of our great Bazaar shall have ceased. 
 
 The following ladies are in attendance on 
 the Booth, and by their untiring zeal, con- 
 tribute largely to its success: — 
 
 Mr.s. Dr. O'Callaghan, Mrs. Matthew Hawe, 
 Mrs. M. Delehanty, Mrs. T. Mattimor, Mrs.

 CURIOSITY SHOP. 
 
 This department of the Bazaar Las proved 
 a groat success, even far beyond the most 
 sanguine expectations of its friends. The 
 reports heretofore made only show the cash 
 receipts at the door, coupon tickets purchased 
 at the entrance and received for admission 
 not being counted. Thus far the gross 
 receipts for the week ending Saturday last, 
 including amount received for the sale of 
 catalogues, are about two thousand dollars. 
 There is no museum like it in tlie country, 
 and we probably never again will have so rare 
 and valuable a collection. 
 
 Those who have not visited it should not 
 fail to do so at once. Two or three visits are 
 really necessary in order to full}' understand 
 and appreciate it. 
 
 The Washington memorials, of priceless 
 value and great national interest, are alone 
 worth the price of admission. There are 
 numerous other articles of almost equal 
 interest. The writing bureau owned by 
 Wasliington, upon which he signed the dealh 
 warrant of Major Andre ; the cane of Wash- 
 ington, in the head of which is the first piece 
 of money ever coined by the government of 
 the United States, in the presence of Genera 
 Washington and his lady; the pistols of 
 Washington and Lafayette ; Washington's 
 towel; Washington's hair; the shaving case 
 owned and used by General Montgomery : 
 pistols taken from Major Pictairn, that 
 exploded tbo first powder of the Revolution ; 
 Roger Sherman's tea tray ; pistol owned and 
 used by Miles Standish, brought over by him 
 in the Mayflower; portrait of the widow of 
 the first ofiBcer killed in the Revolution ; 
 chair brought over in the Mayflower; Gen. 
 Putnam's chair; Gen. Marion's chair; Madi- 
 son's cane, carried by him during the whole 
 of liis administration. 
 
 The Japanese collection of the Hon. R. H. 
 Pruyn is probably the finest in tliis country, 
 and unequaled even in Europe. It has been 
 so pronounced l)y a gentleman who examined 
 them and had visited the museum in Holland, 
 where there is said to be the best Japanese 
 collection. 
 
 Mrs. Pruyn, the highly accomplished lady 
 of our minister, is most of the time to be 
 found in attendance, and ready, in her 
 peculiar, modest and agreeable way, to explain 
 them. 
 
 Mrs. DoWitt, who, with her kind husband, 
 has traveled much and spent a long time 
 aWoad, has brought back with her many rare 
 and valuable things of great interest, a part 
 of which they have on exhibition. 
 
 Mrs. Wild has also a splendid Chinese col- 
 lection. The collection of bronze is as fine as 
 any that can be found. The large equestrian 
 statues of Gen. Van Rensselaer are particu- 
 larly noticeable. We should fail to do justice 
 to all without referring at length to the entire 
 catalogue. Hurst's arrangements and exhi- 
 bition reflects the highest credit upon his 
 ability and artistic taste. 
 
 Many things have been added since the 
 exhibition opened. The model of the famous 
 French Bastile, presented by Lafayette to 
 AVashington, made of stone from the old 
 Bastile, has just been received from Prof. 
 Henry of the Smithsonian Institute, Wash- 
 ington. 
 
 Mr. Wells has reason to express himself, 
 as he does, in the highest terms of praise and 
 commendation of the laJies and gentlemen in 
 attendance, as well as of the co-operation of 
 the committee. Their courtesy and atten- 
 tion render the Curiosity Shop, with its great 
 attractions, a charming and agreeable place 
 of resort. 
 
 AUTOGRAPH AND PHOTOGRAPH BOOTH. 
 
 This Booth is situated between the Mili- 
 tary and Kinderhook Booths, and by some 
 oversight is restricted to the smallest possible 
 dimensions, being a mere triangle between 
 the other two. It is devoted to Autographs 
 and Photographs ; the former collected by 
 Mr. Henry Benedict, and the latter by Mrs. 
 and Dr. Armsby. The Photographic Depart- 
 ment is under the charge of Mrs. Armsby, 
 and the Autographic under that of Mr.=. 
 Stephen Quackenbush. The young ladies in 
 charge are : Miss Anna Vanderburgh, Miss 
 Mary Radoliff, Miss Mary Viele, Miss Mary 
 Olcott, Miss Mary Russell, Miss Carrie Phelps, 
 Miss Maggie Williams, Miss Fink, Miss Fanny 
 Ramsey and Miss Mary Foote of Saratoga, 
 who kindly consented to divide her time be- 
 tween this Booth and the one from her own 
 town. 
 
 The principal articles for sale are : The su- 
 perb Album of the United States Senate, pre- 
 sented by Mrs. Ira Harris. The great Album 
 of " carte de visite " pictures, presented by 
 Frank Little. A splei'did portrait of Mr. 
 Everett ; portraits of Jlr. Corning, Mr. AVeed, 
 Gen. Wool ; an immense number of smaller 
 pictures, ambrotypes, carte de visite, stereo- 
 scopes and stereoscopic views. Most of the 
 
 pictures were donated by Messrs. Thonipsen, 
 Churchill & Denison, Bender, Newcomb & 
 Fisk, of this city; and Messrs. Tobin of New 
 Bedford, Brady, Schauss, Fredericks, of New 
 York, Baker of Utica, and Whipple, Miller 
 and Rowell and Allen, of Boston. 
 
 The receipts b.ive been as follows : First 
 day — For Autographs, $20 ; other sales, $4P. 
 Second day — Autographs, $40 ; other sales, 
 $07. Third day— Autographs, $30; other

 merican remedy is 
 carrying the world by 
 storm. Over five millions 
 of boxes are sold annu- 
 ally. Composed entirely 
 of Flowers, Roots, Bal- 
 saras and Extracts — their 
 eftect on the human svs- 
 tem is pleasant, satisfac- 
 tory and successful. Act- 
 ing directly on the blood, 
 glands, solids and fluids of 
 the body, their use is at- 
 tended with the happiest 
 effect^s. In sudden attacks 
 
 of diseases, one or two 
 
 doses almost alwa5'8 cures. In old standing cases 
 of sickness, small doses — repeated frequentlv — so 
 cleanse the system that good health is the result. 
 No change in employment or diet is nc<'essarv. 
 Thev never cause sore* mouths, swelled joints, ach- 
 ing limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. Thev are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the money will be 
 refunded. They are considered cheaper, safer, 
 pretier, and in all resjiects superior to any purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In many cases, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration biid laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to n\\ appearance no human means could save life, 
 patients have, by the use of these Pills, been re- 
 stored to good health ; the devouring disease having 
 been coini)letely ei-adicated- 
 
 Iii consequence of the pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion they are universally used in every section of 
 our wi<fe-extended country where they are made 
 known, and are fast sn|ierw\'ding every other prepa- 
 ration "of ju'ofcssed similar import . I']>\vanl.-<<tf forty 
 thousand cases have bi-cu certilied as cured, solely 
 from their use, since the introduction of them into 
 the United States, thus establishing the fact beyond 
 all doubt that Herrick's Pills cure the (apparently) 
 most opposite diseases by the one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the" bowels until the disease 
 gives way ; therefore, whatever may be said of the 
 Theory, the utility of Practice is iiow beyond all 
 doubt. 
 
 ![y The discovery of coating a Pill with sugar, 
 emanated with Dr. Herrick. All others are counter- 
 feits, and, if used, will do harm, and disappoint the 
 sick. Herri<:k'B Pills are elegantly jmt u]i, :i() in a 
 box, with a large sheet of directions, and sell for 26 
 cents per box ; 5 boxes for f 1.

 The Tickel-of-Leave-Mun still continues to iittmct

 worthy the attention of all chu^Mt^s of our citizenn.

 The Ticket-of- Leave- Man will keep possession of

 The London TtmcSy in speakinjtf of this great 
 moral drama, mentions a fact to which the provincial 
 pi-ess of Great BriUiiu and Irelanti has given con- 
 firmation. 
 
 A clerk who had absconded from Liverpool with 
 £2,500, the property of his employers, after visitiny 
 many places, arrivetl at Birmingham about 5 o'clock, 
 and atter tjiknig some refreshment, went to a popu- 
 lar place of amusement, to while away an hour. 
 As it hapjiened, the piece which was bein" per- 
 fonned on the occasion of this visit, was the licket- 
 of-Leave-Man, and the guilty man seems to have 
 drawn a moral from the representation, for when 
 the scene in which the interview between Hawk- 
 ihaw, the detective, and the Ticket-of-Leave-Man 
 took place, Parker, the clerk, became so affected, 
 that he went out of the theatre, got three envelopes, 
 and sent £1.500 back to his employers.

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Mar. 2. 
 
 EDITED BY 
 
 MK. SMITH, 
 
 ALBANY, WEDNESDAY, MAECU 2, 1864. 
 
 The Significance of the Bazaar. 
 A gentleman entered the Bazaar the other 
 day, manifesting no little indignation, and 
 remarking that he had heard some one down 
 street rejoicing over the unfavorable news 
 from Florida. lie added with empha-sis that 
 such a thing would not be allowed in his 
 town, and that we ought to have a Bazaar. 
 It is unfortunately true that there are a few 
 men in our nlid^t, as there fre in every city 
 of the North, who rejoice only when patriots 
 are sad, and to whom the intelligence that 
 fires loyal hearts with enthusiasm, comes like 
 a death pall. But the spirit with which the 
 great body of our citizens have entered into 
 the Fair, is itself the best response to any im- 
 putation upon their loyalty. The Fair is an 
 expression not only of our sympathy for the 
 heroic soldiers who are suffering in the field, 
 but of our devotion to the cause of the coun- 
 try. It is a sublime recognition of the un- 
 faltering faith of our people in the justice of 
 the war. It would, indeed, be singular if we 
 were to expend so much effort for the aid of 
 our soldiers, while we disapproved of the 
 object for which they were fightmg. Human- 
 ity, it is true, might dictate that we should 
 do it for the sake of mitigating suffering, but 
 it is natural to associate objects, and we should 
 be far less earnest in our efforts, did we not 
 believe in the justice and necessity of the 
 struggle, as well as in the duty of assisting 
 those who are actively engaged in it. 
 
 Three Inquiries Answered. 
 
 Ubiquitous Smith: — If, as you declare, 
 you have no principle, how can you be the 
 principal editor of The Canteen ? 
 
 How can you say that the Bazaar is well 
 conducted while the managers knowingly per- 
 mit two big /c-naves to be all the time there ? 
 
 Whoso wig is it at the Trojan end of the 
 Bazaar, and why do those handsome squaws 
 love to keep that wig-wa(r)m ? 
 
 Inquirer. 
 
 1. We answer by asking how one can be a 
 good judge of ales when nothing ails him, or, 
 unless he is lame, how can he perpetrate such 
 a lame-ntable thing? 
 
 2. Knaves are not always to be condemned. 
 They are sometimes very valuable, as, for 
 instance, in euchre. 
 
 3. As this question is an imputation upon 
 the "handsome squaws," implying that there 
 is some false hair about. We leave them to 
 answer it. 
 
 The Committee on "Greens." 
 
 We give below the names of those gentle- 
 men who had charge of the preparation of the 
 beautiful wreaths, which add so much to the 
 effect of the Bazaar: 
 
 Messrs A. Bott, Chairman, Lucien Barnes, 
 Andrew W. Green, Geo. B. Raymond, Ira 
 Porter, Jr., J. F. Ames, Samuel Townsend,

 The committee are under obligations to 
 other ladies, whose names they could not ob- 
 tain, to Mr. Vandercook of the Geological 
 Hall, and Mr. Crocker of the Normal School, 
 for the use of their rooms, to the soldiers at 
 the barracks for making over 1,200 feet of 
 wreaths, and to the citizens of Bath for 450 
 feet. 
 
 We wish it to be distinctly under- 
 stood, that when we asserted that " Anti 
 quary " had a European reputation, we meant 
 to be understood in a " Canteenian " sense, 
 you-rope-ean, for he was certainly never born 
 to be drowned. 
 
 The motto on the city seal of Brook- 
 lyn has found its way to the Holland booth ; 
 Ekndracht, 
 Maeckt 
 Mackt, 
 Which, in the original, or translated, ex- 
 presses what is being accomplished so har- 
 moniously and so happily at the Bazaar — 
 In Union is Strength. 
 
 The spirit of the Fair was well illus 
 trated the other day, when one of our most 
 prominent ladies waited upon her own ser 
 rant g ris in the refreshment department, with 
 a blandncss and affability which many sigh 
 for in vain when the process is reversed.

 The Eussian Booth. 
 
 A correspotideut suggests that this elegant 
 establishment is scantily supplied with genu- 
 ine Russian goods, and asks: "Cannot some 
 benevolent individual furnish it with a stock 
 of hemp, tallow, candles, train oil and other 
 articles of real Russian product 1 " And he 
 thinks the interest of the enteKtainment 
 might be enhanced, " if a Russian gentleman 
 could be found who would undertake to dine 
 upon the candles and train oil." 
 
 If the ladies at the Booth could get a 
 glimpse at the individual, they would kill the 
 bear, and furnish him with oil and candles to 
 his satisfaction. It i8 expected the arrange- 
 ment will be consummated, and the exhibition 
 take place this evening. Room for the 
 Russian. 
 
 Only Four Days More. 
 The managers nave determined to close the 
 Bazaar on Saturday evening of this week 
 Only four days rcmaiu in which to swell the 
 receipts to an amount of which we all shall 
 be proud. Thus far wo have done remarkably 
 well. The success of the Fair has been 
 beyond our most sanguine expectations. We 
 need only feel that this palace of beauty will 
 close in four days, to make those days memo- 
 rable for their spirit and enthusiasm. We 
 must all work with a will. 
 
 A company of Gipsey maidens have 
 chosen a place for an encampment, in a dark 
 and mysterious looking corner, near the foun- 
 tain of health, and quite near enough to the 
 well-filled tables. The location is unexcep- 
 tionable to the successful prosecution of their 
 enterprise. For a trifling sum they make one 
 acquainted with past and present, and lift the 
 cloud from the dim, dark and ever uncertain 
 future. Whoever would like the veil opened, 
 may find the Sybil's retreat, by remembering 
 the following : 
 
 AZDCENA. 
 
 Sybil. 
 Fortunes told by Palmistry every evening, 
 between 7 and 10 o'clock. 
 Very good hours indeed for a fortune-teller. 
 
 An Appeal for St, Andrew's Booth. 
 
 Hark to the patriotic call, and hear the gath- 
 ering cry. 
 For the welfare of our soldiers, who rebel foes 
 
 defy— 
 Come Scotia's sons aud daughters, braw lads 
 
 and bonnie lassies. 
 Come from the city's din, green dales, and 
 
 mountain passes ; 
 Come from your dwellings fair, from cottage 
 
 neat, tho' lowly. 
 Join in the good work, and assist the cause so 
 
 holy ; 
 And highlanders or lowlanders, of what clan 
 
 so'er ye be. 
 Throw your plaids across your shoulders and 
 
 show your chivalry. 
 
 Come Scotia's matron fair, come with all thy 
 
 queenly graces. 
 Come maidens beautiful, with bright eyes and 
 
 winsome faces. 
 For mother kind, thy own brave boy perchance 
 
 is suffering now. 
 Sighing for the old roof tree, as he wipes his 
 
 wounded brow; 
 Perhaps, maiden beautiful, with the laughter- 
 loving eyes. 
 Thy kinsman or thy lover groans 'neath torrid 
 
 southern skies — 
 Then highlander or lowlander, whatever your 
 
 degree. 
 Come help us in the good old causa and show 
 
 your charity — 
 
 Remember Brace's glory, aud let your truthful 
 
 hearts beat strong 
 For the freedom of our country, for the right 
 
 and not the wrong ; 
 Forget not Scotia's honor, for which your 
 
 fathers died. 
 When with bauner and strong claymore they 
 
 fought on freedom's side. 
 The Scottish heart is ever warm, the Scottish 
 
 heart is leal. 
 It overflows with loyalty and beats as true as 
 
 steel — 
 Then highlandf r and lowlander, of what clan 
 
 so'er ye be. 
 For our good cause, and Scotland's fame, come 
 
 show your charity.

 A second edition of the Catalogue of 
 Military Trophies has been published, with 
 large additions, and in better style. Its price 
 is twenty-five cents, and its sale is entrusted 
 to the following young ladies, who were 
 selected to take charge of the Trophy booth, 
 viz. : Misses L. M. Wright, M. L. Howe, J. 
 Thorbum, S. Kearney, C. Towner, A. John- 
 son and L. Hutchins. Master Alvah H. Doty 
 has also assisted in sellin°:. 
 
 The gas jet signs are getting quite in 
 vogue. Troy introduced the style, and it is 
 being adopted at several of the booths.

 The Thrush's Appeal 
 
 BY MARY M . 
 
 I've been wondering and thinking, for many 
 
 days past. 
 What sort of a placu I've got into at last ; 
 I can't sing a note, aud I can't sleep a wink. 
 It's hard on a fellow brought up well 1 think. 
 The spot just below, seems to be all the rage, 
 D'ye think t'would be pleasant, shut up in » 
 
 cage f 
 A pretty young damsel, just said to her Pa : 
 ■' O isn't it jolly, this Ladies' Bazaar I " 
 She flung back her cape, aud tossed up her 
 
 crown, 
 " The Irish Booth, Poppy, takts everything 
 
 down ! " 
 Another went by, in a white satin sheen, 
 She't the loveliest lady that I've ever seen ; 
 She looked up at me, O her eyes were so bright I 
 "I'm very sorry for you, pretty birdie, to- 
 night;" 
 She said, and she flung me a kiss in the air. 
 But it got so mixed up in that big Injun's hair, 
 That 1 never shall get it. Alas I I look down, 
 In vain for the maid, in the blight satin gown. 
 My heart how it throbs, I am wild with delight I 
 I'm certain she'll come here aud buy me to- 
 night I 
 
 I.'m a lonely, little bird. 
 
 Hanging in the Orand Bazaar, 
 I can sing a blissful song, 
 
 I can sing it all day long. 
 Come from near, aud come from far. 
 Buy me in the Qraud Bazaar. 
 
 From a (ireen Isle in the sea, 
 To your bosoms I have flown, 
 
 You shall have my sweetest voice, 
 You shall ue'er regret your choice; 
 
 Round my heart a spell you've thrown. 
 Call me pretty one, thine own. 
 
 1 am waiting, fondly trusting. 
 You will soon my cage unbar; , 
 
 Where my country's harp is bright, 
 There I'll watch from morn till night. 
 
 Come, lovely Moiniug Star, 
 Buy me in the.Qrand Bazaar. 
 
 The Oriental BootL 
 
 Among the manager.s of the Oriental booth 
 at the Bazaar I observed two gentlemen in 
 what are called Albanian and Greek costumes, 
 which entirely differ from my preconceived 
 notions on the subject. 
 
 The popular idea of the costume of a young 
 Albanian is a short blue coat with broad 
 binding, with a cambric handkerchief pro- 
 truding slightly from the vest pocket, a hat 
 like an inverted w,ash-bowl, and a segar ; and 
 of a modern Greek, ragged unmentionables, 
 tailless coat, hat of any shape, a short pipe 
 and a shillalah. 
 
 By the bye, would not a supply of a quan- 
 tity of the tincture of genuine Turkey rhubarb 
 form an additional attraction. B.

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Mas. 2. 
 
 A Plea in Behalf of DeafaeBS. 
 I like (leaf people. I sometimes wish I was 
 deaf myself. Nothing is so provoking as to 
 be obliged to talk when you don't want to, or 
 to listen when the heart cannot go with the 
 ears. Sometimes I go into a railroad car, and 
 am congratulating myself upon the nice cosy 
 time I am going to have all alune. A railroad 
 car is not a bad place to enjoy the luxury of 
 thinking. Charles Lamb commends shaving 
 as a contemplative operation,' conducive to 
 the play of thought and fancy. But I prefer 
 a railroad car. The monotony of the noise 
 .and motion lull and soothe the distracted 
 feelings. We anticipate no interruptions, and 
 we quietly resign ourseves to the current of 
 thought. Now to have all this pleasing pros- 
 pect dashed by finding myself seated by some 
 gabbling, inquisitive companion, without feel- 
 ing some emotions of resentment, requires a 
 more saint-like equanimity than I can make 
 pretensions to. Often worried and tired by 
 the duties of a busy day, I go to a hotel, hop- 
 ing to enjoy a peaceable and uninterrupted 
 dinner, anxious to eat my bread in quietness, 
 and drink my wine with a merry heart — 
 when all my fond illusions vanish by being 
 set down by one of these talkative fellows, 
 who make it a rule to talk to everybody 'they 
 meet. 
 
 Before Providence sent me Mrs. Doughnuts 
 I used to board at a hotel. It was one of the 
 circumstances which reconciled me to that 
 mode of life, that my elbow neighbor at table 
 was completely deaf. He was so deaf that 
 the roar of a lion, or the whistle of a locomo- 
 tive, or the hurrahs of a dirty crowd were to 
 him a sort of emphatic silence. He never 
 heard the news in the hotel bar-room, nor 
 the caterwauling of cats in the hotel yard ; 
 nor, most marvelous of all, the beating of an 
 infernal Chinese gong, which that infatuated 
 landlord had the hardihood to ring before 
 every meal. He was worse than the Oegon, 
 which Bryant says, " hears no sound save his 
 own dashings ; " he could not hear even that, 
 for one night in the dark he dashed down a 
 whole flight of stairs, and never heard a word 
 of it till the next morning. He visited Nia- 
 gara Falls once, and liked the place very 
 much, because it was " so quiet." He thought 
 the hackmen at the Albany depot a very quiet 
 set of men. He had occasionally tried an ear 
 trumpet, but so far as enabling him to hear, 
 it was of no possible use. In fact it seemed 
 to concentrate and intensify the silence, so 
 that when he wanted to be very quiet, and 
 compose himself for an after-dinner nap, he 
 used to put his trumpet in his ear and lie 
 down, no matter what banging and rattling 
 were going on about him. I am certain il 
 Hood's fancy ,"of putting a, percussion cap on a 
 man, had been tried on his head, it might 
 have been snapped without his hearing it. 
 
 Strange as it may seem, I formed a great 
 intimacy with my deaf friend. We exchanged 
 our morning salutations with cordiality, but 
 without any waste of words. He was very 
 attentive to me, and passed me the butter 
 or the sugar, &c. ; and I attained great profi- 
 ciency in pantomime in my effort to make 
 known to hira the state of the weather and 
 my health. We used to have our little silent 
 jokes too, on which ho used to chuckle very 
 fondly. I look back to these days of silence 
 with regret ; and with every day's sad expe- 
 rience, I learn to think, that for me to be 
 deaf, or for somebody else (I don't mention 
 names) to be dumb, would not be the greatest 
 misfortune that could befal me.

 Can a Man Endure Flattery? 
 
 A lady correspondent writes us, stating 
 tbat at an exhibition of the Bohemian Glass 
 
 Blowers, recently, in the village of W n, 
 
 a prize was to be given to the handsomest 
 man in the audience. The prize fell to Dr. 
 
 D , and was presented to him in an ornate 
 
 speech of well studied, iiattering phrase. Of 
 course a response was expected, aud could 
 not well be denied. The Doctor appeared on 
 the platform and essayed to speak: "Ladies 
 and Gentlemen," he said, and paused. Kx- 
 pectation was on tip-toe. The knowing ^nes 
 about the room, in a most mischievous man- 
 ner, began to titter. Another, "Ladies and 
 Gentlemen, hem!" another pause, and the 
 Doctor fainting, falls to the floor. Our fair 
 correspondent winds up with, "How little 
 flattery a man cau bear!" and we promptly 
 retort : 
 
 Your words are true as e'er were writ, 
 Man can too little flattei-y bear. 
 But, when it gives a fainting fit, 
 Or when, as if with muon-stroke smit, 
 It makes him walk, or stand, or sit, 
 Sir knight, or lord, or king, or czar, 
 He bears too little, much, for man. 
 
 Though, wlien a babe, as custom goes. 
 Kind maids and matrons tweaked his toes, 
 Patted his cheek, and pinched his nose — 
 As only maids and matrons can — 
 Admired his eyes, his mouth, his chin, — 
 Thinking the foolish words no sin, 
 Could they mamm.i's good will thus win, — 
 Vowed him a little angel dear, 
 Sent down to this sub-lunar sphere ; 
 Or, if of earth, why then — ha ! ha ! ! 
 For all the world just like his Pa, — 
 The truth imist out — 'twas one, nor 'tother, — 
 But like — alas ! too like — his mother.

 THE REFECTORY. 
 
 The refresbraent department is one of the 
 most profitable, as it is one of the busiest 
 branches of the Bazaar. People may take a 
 notion not to do anything else, but with so 
 many seductive charms about them they can- 
 not refuse the temptation to eat. With prime 
 articles and cheap prices before them on a bill 
 of fare, with beautiful damsels gaily dressed 
 to receive and fulfill the orders, with life and 
 mirth reigning all around, the attraction may 
 well be regarded as irresistible. The spirit of 
 the Commissary Department is illustrated in 
 its mottoes which appear, indeed, in the back 
 ground, but are nevertheless its controlling 
 Bentiments. 
 
 " The luxurious live to eat and drink, 
 The wise eat and drink to live," 
 
 certainly make it plain that the department is 
 governed by a sound philosophy and a humane 
 desire to prolong the life of its patrons, rather 
 than by the shopkeeper's rule of urging all he 
 can. 
 
 " Diet cures more than the Doctor," 
 we are credibly informed, is not a hit at any 
 body in particular, but only the natural claim 
 of those who have a work to do. 
 
 " Call for Bazaar hard tack." 
 It is to be observed, particularly by soldiers, 
 that the emphasis is on the word " Bazaar." 
 This statement is necessary to prevent any 
 misunderstanding, as everything in this Com- 
 missary dates from a period this side of the 
 revolutionary war. 
 
 The Refectory is divided into two branches, 
 under the charge respectively of the Refresh- 
 ment and Table Committees. The first pro- 
 vides the articles and deals them out. Their 
 labors are arduous and exacting, but they are 
 performed with a fidelity and zeal which add 
 largely to the success of the Bazaar, and to 
 the pleasure and comfort of visitors. To stand 
 for hours cutting pies, giving out cake, dish- 
 ing oysters, manipulating turkey, and the 
 like, is a work which nothing but the intense 
 devotion of the ladies to the interests and ob- 
 
 jects of the Bazaar, could induce them to un- 
 dergo. They deserve all credit for their un- 
 tiring faithfulness at their laborious post. Mrs. 
 Jas. Gould presides in this department with 
 signal ability. 
 
 Those with whom the visitor immediately 
 deals are the members of the Table Commit- 
 tee. The ladies of this Committee are the 
 most bewitching and charming that have ever 
 undertaken to act in their capacity since Eve 
 passed an apple from the colored head of the 
 kitchen regions to the first of the race. At- 
 tired as they are in the neatest and prettiest 
 dress, their faces radiant with the blandest 
 smiles, no one can go within the circle of this 
 whirlpool without being drawn into its vortex. 
 The clattering of dishes, the odorous smells, 
 the merry eyes, the air which pervades the 
 enlire department, are indeed perfectly irre- 
 sistible. And when the visitor has almost 
 unconsciously yielded, and committed himself 
 to the mercies — which are, in truth, very 
 tender — of these earthly Ilebes, the prompt- 
 ness with which they are at his side, with the 
 viands he wishes, and the affability with which 
 the whole is done, elicit his highest commenda- 
 tion with a mental reservation — not always 
 reserved — to call again. It is a new sphere 
 for the ladies, and as arduous as it is new, but 
 the manner in which they have performed 
 their duties has won the admiration and the 
 thanks of all. They are deserving of all 
 praise, and have the satisfaction of knowing 
 that by their devotion and zeal they have 
 contributed largely to the success of the Ba- 
 zaar. Mrs. Franklin Townsend is chairman 
 of the Table Committee, which is a sufficient 
 guarantee of its energy and of the success of 
 its work. 
 
 Nor should we omit to speak of the cashiers. 
 They have discharged their duties with great 
 fidelity and ability, and are especially worthy 
 of commendation for having done this under 
 surrounding influences which might have 
 caused mistakes in the calculations of less 
 inflexible men. 
 
 The receipts of the Refreshment Depart- 
 ment have been very heavy, and are mostly 
 profit, as our citizens have donated most of 
 the articles used. 
 
 We append a full list of the Refreshment 
 and Table Committees : —

 THE ITALIAN BOOTH. 
 
 The Italian Booth unites among its trea- 
 sures rich colors, fair ladies and a variety of 
 interesting and appropriate articles. It is as 
 bright and brilliant as the Canipagna illumi- 
 nated by its own lustrous sunshine. The 
 ladies who represent the storied land of so 
 much interest, are arrayed in its peculiar 
 costumes. Venice, Naples and Milan are il- 
 lustrated, and the beautiful head dresses and 
 boddices, and the airy hat of the peasant 
 girls are seen u{)on some. The ladies do- no 
 injustice in their appearance to the Lind which 
 boasts of its Beatrice, whose peerless beauty 
 inspired the divine Dante with a rapture, such 
 as the world has rarely witnessed. The free 
 air of the Appenines,and the clear light of the 
 plains, are typified in their grace and beauty. 
 Hero also is the Brigand, so well personated 
 by Mr. Walter R. Bacon. In his pointed hat, 
 elegant costume of velvet, gold lace and gay 
 ribbons, he presents all the external charac- 
 teristics of a veritable bandit, but has been 
 found to be quite harmless. 
 
 The articles for sale in this Booth are na- 
 tional and appropriate. Etruscan vases and 
 fine pictures form the staple, while the useful 
 and practical are not unrepresented. 
 
 The ladies iu attendance are: Mrs. II. D. 
 Paine, who is in charge, assisted by Miss 
 Hamilton, Miss Annie Hendrickson, Miss 
 Annie Douw, Miss Anna Roy, Miss Lizzie 
 Crocker, Miss Mary Crocker, Miss Lina Paine. 
 
 " No man can do anything against his will," 
 said a metaphysician to an Irishman. " Be 
 jabbers, I had a brother," said Pat, "that 
 wint to Botany Bay, an' faith, I know it was 
 greatly against his own will."

 J_ American remedy is 
 carrying the world " by 
 storm. Over live million's 
 of boxes are sold annu- 
 ally. Composed entirely 
 of Flowers, Roots, Bal- 
 sams and E.Ktracts— their 
 effect on the human sys- 
 tem is pleasant, satisfac- 
 tory and succe.'isful. Act- 
 ing directly on the blood, 
 glands, sofids and fluids of 
 the body, tlieir use is at- 
 tended with the happiest 
 cH'ccts. In sudden attacks 
 
 of diseases, one or two 
 
 doses almost always cures. In old standing cases 
 of sickness, small doses— repeated frequently— so 
 cleanse the system that good health is the result. 
 No change in employment or diet is necessary. 
 They never cause sore mouths, swelled joints, ach- 
 ing limbs, etc., as do many other kinds. They are 
 warranted to give Siitisfaction, or the money will be 
 refunded. They are considered chcajier, safer 
 pretier, and in all respects superior to any purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 lu many cases, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all appearance no Imuian means could save life 
 patients have, by the use of these Pills, been re- 
 stored to good health ; the devoming disease having 
 been coHipletely eradicated. 
 
 In consequence of the pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion they are universally used in every section of 
 our wide-extended country where they are made 
 known, and are fast supcr.seding every other prepa- 1 
 ration of professed similar iuiport. I'pwards ot forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from their use, since the introduction of them into 
 tlie United .States, thus establishing tlie fact beyond 
 all doubt that Herrick's Pills cure the (apparently) 
 most opposite diseases by tlie one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the" bowels until the disease 
 gives way! therefore, whatever may be said of the 
 Theory, the utility of Practice is now beyond all 
 doubt. 
 
 it!F° The discovery of coating a Pill with sugar, 
 emanated with Dr. Hernck. All others are counter- 
 feits, and, if used, will do barm, and disappoint the 
 sick. Herrick's Pills are elegantly put up, 30 in a 
 box, with a large sheet of directions, and Bell for 25 
 cents per box ; o boxes for f 1. 
 
 Sold by dealers everywhere. 
 
 or trouble. Each plaster will wear from one to 
 four months, and in rbennmtic complaints, sprains 
 and bruises, frequently effect cures when all other 
 remedies fail. Full directions will be found on the 
 back of each. Pubhc sypakers, vocalists and minis- 
 ters of the gospel, and others, will strengthen their 
 lunjjs and improve their voices by wearing them on 
 their breast. Price 25 cents.

 A New and surpass-

 remedy 'for Catarrh, 
 Bronchitis, Minister's 
 sore throat, offensive 
 discliarge from the 
 liead, hoarseness, irri- 
 tation of the mem- 
 'Jlj branes of the nose,

 medy is smoked in a 
 common pipe, and 
 blowing the smoke out 
 of the nose, producing 
 a delightful sensation, and imparting an agi-eeable 
 odor to the breath. It is so siniple that it maybe 
 used by a chihnen years old. Being slightly exhil- 
 irating in its effects,* it soothes the mind when over- 
 taxed with business cares, relieving it so as to in- 
 duce sweet and refreshing sleep. 
 
 Tobaccp smokers may mix a small quantity of it 
 with their tobacco, and thus obtain the medicinal 
 effects while enjoying their favorite luxury, and also 
 a fine aroma to the breath.

 A Soldier's Gratitude to the Sanitary Conunis- 
 sion, 
 The relief agents of this great national or- 
 ganization testify to the kindly expressions of 
 interest in their work, and thanks for its value 
 which they receive from officers and men in our 
 grand aiuiies. And why not ? Alniosl ubiqui- 
 tous in army life, the Commission strives to 
 meet every want which the exigencies of the 
 service demand, to aid with tlio stores which 
 the loyal people of the land place at its dis- 
 posal, all the sick, wounded or needy, and 
 thus even amid tlie grim terrors of war, to 
 do the work of the good Samaritan. At the 
 late reconnoisance of the army of the Poto- 
 mac, which brought on a slight engagement, 
 terminating, among other results, in the 
 wounding of two hundred of our men, when 
 these men were brought to the hospital, cold 
 and shivering from the effects of fording a river 
 nearly w.->ist deep, the Commission was there 
 with woolen underclothing, farinaceous food 
 and stimulants. Just where the need was, the 
 relief agent was happy enough to have his 
 supplies. 
 
 On account of some such personal recollec- 
 tion of timely aid, it is likely the following 
 incident happened one day since the Bazaar 
 was opened. A private, probably a veteran 
 on furlough, stepping up to one of our Booths, 
 purchased a bundle of segars. After having 
 paid for it, he politely asked the fair sales- 
 woman to take it and sell it again for the 
 benefit of t!ie fund. " For," said he, " I owe 
 80 much to this Commission. It has helped 
 me and us, and I must help it." There is a 
 touching pathos in this which makes it highly 
 honorable to the Commission, whose interests 
 we have so largely at heart, and whose good 
 
 work we wish to further in every way possible, 
 
 — — — 
 
 Rebel Workmansliip for "sale at the Bazaar, 
 To satisfy curiosity as to the source whence 
 these articles have been derived, wo have in- 
 quired from the officer of the Sanitary Com- 
 mission who obtained them for the Bazaar. 
 It seems they have been made by the rebel 
 prisoners at Point Lookout. There is an 
 agent of the Commission located at that 
 place, who has endeavored to supply not only 
 the wants of our sick in the hospital, but also 
 those of the rebels. The Commission Las al- 
 ways felt it a duty to mitigate sufflsring 
 wherever found within the lines of our army, 
 
 whether that might exist in our own brave 
 boys or their prisoners. The rebels, at Point 
 Lookout, have developed quite a peculiar 
 talent for the manufacture of fans and rings. 
 The fans are made with the ordinary pocket 
 knife, out of a single piece of wood, and the 
 rings from rubber buttons, fashioned into 
 proper shape by knives and rat-tail files. The 
 rings are sometimes very neatly carved with 
 the name of a loved one at home, or with that 
 southern watchword, " Dixie j " others are 
 inlaid with curious designs made of silver, al- 
 bata or brass. The metals for inlaying are 
 procured by hammering out coin or pieces of 
 old brass decorations or albata spoons. 
 
 In addition to the rings and fans — some 
 curious hair watch guards are on sale, the 
 material for which, the agent says, was ob- 
 tained by levying on the tail of the Provost 
 Marshal's horse, whenever this officer entered 
 the prisoner's camp. The source of supply 
 being limited, of course the number of guards 
 of this material is also limited. 
 
 It is interesting to see how American in- 
 genuity will show itself under proper fostering 
 inlluences — and adversity or necessity is al- 
 ways a strong influence, and we may all hope 
 that when treason is crushed, and our glorious 
 flag once more floats over a land redeemed 
 from rebellion, that such ingenuity will prove 
 of avail in developing the resources of the 
 South, and that the effort may be made by its 
 citizens to efface the dark stigma of its pre- 
 sent fearful patricidal crimes, by an honest, 
 industrious and patriotic zeal for the renown 
 and good name of tho hope of the world — 
 our own United States. 
 
 [For The Canteen.] 
 
 K having come home from the war, 
 
 appeared in an unduly short sack coat, sug- 
 gestive of the costume of David's ambassadors 
 as revised by Nahash. Sensibly nffected by 
 the ridicule to which it laid him open, he at 
 length exchanged the offending garment for 
 another. 
 
 " Well," said he, calling attention to the 
 fact, " I have concluded not to wear my short 
 coat any longer." 
 
 " Pshaw," replied C , ' that was all the 
 
 trouble before, that you did not wear it 
 longer." 
 
 " ! " exclaimed K , " the trouble was 
 
 before, was it ? I thought it was behind." 
 
 5^" We took from the post-office yester- 
 day a bundle of communications which was 
 large enough to make any poor editor leap 
 for joy, and think of being lazy. We feel 
 greatly obliged to our contributors, but as 
 our advertisements are crowding (and paying), 
 some of their productions, meritorious though 
 they be, will have to be omitted. We hope 
 our friends will be as patient as we are obliged 
 to be. 
 
 The total receipts of the Fair up to 
 the present time must bo about ,'$70,000. 
 Well done for Albany. 
 
 ^^" In spite of the storm of Tuesday, there 
 was a large attendance at the Fair. Yester- 
 day's golden sunshine brought out an imm mse 
 throng. 
 
 Tho stock of goods in many of the 
 booths is rapidly decreasing, but the good 
 taste of the ladies always succeeds in making 
 a creditable display, however much the capi- 
 tal is diminished. 
 
 ^^ We hear that considerable objection 
 is made to the decision of the Managers to 
 close the Bazaar this week. The enthusiasm 
 doesn't seem to flag, and very many have not 
 yet had the opportunity of attending. It is 
 not impossible that the Fair may continue 
 next week. 
 
 J^^ Br. Campbell, an old author, main 
 tained, in one of his books, that life is pro- 
 longed by inhaling the breath of young ladies, 
 and a physician crediting the theory, actually 
 took lodgings at a female boarding school, that 
 he might have a constant supply. Wo rather 
 like tho theory, especially as its application is 
 so easy just now. We are strongly inclined 
 to think that inhaling tho fragrant breath of 
 the Fairies at tho Bazaar is greatly conducive 
 to health. At any rate we are candid enough 
 to give the theory a fair trial.

 Since the Fair has been in progress 
 our streets have presented a sort of Fourth of 
 July appearance, every arriving train sending 
 a stream of life up the avenues leading to the 
 Park. 
 
 The Sanitary Oommission— What has it done 
 for our Soldiers. 
 Its first great work has been to protect our 
 armies from disease, which, in war, kills more 
 than sword or ball. This part of its work it 
 has accomplished by appearing at all bureaus 
 of the government as the representative of the 
 whole people, bringing with it all the latest 
 wisdom of the world, embodied in reports, 
 drawn up by our most distinguished phy- 
 sicians, on all the peculiar diseases of an 
 army. These reports or treatises, to the num- 
 ber of twenty, it has systematically distrib- 
 uted to all surgeons, many of whom, educated 
 for civil life, needed at hand just this peculiar 
 kind of text books. It has secured the favor 
 and support of the government, which has 
 extensively introduced the measures or 
 reforms the Commission has suggested. 
 
 The result of their labors in preventing 
 disease has been so great that the statistics of 
 our armies show that our soldiers have been 
 the healthiest in the world, and suffered less 
 than any other armies ; not one-fifth as much, 
 in proportion, as the English army in the Cri- 
 mean war. 
 
 It has secured the appointment of inspec- 
 tors,, to bring to the notice of the proper offi- 
 cers all defects in the care of soldiers, their 
 camps, their food, their cooking, &c. It has 
 fearlessly indicated to the government whom- 
 ever was too negligent, ignorant, or obviously 
 incompetent to act in a medical relation. 
 
 It has established the most complete me- 
 dium existing between all soldiers and their 
 friends, by which every package from associa- 
 tions may reach its destination. Its losses 
 by miscarriage and the casualties of war do 
 not amount in value to $10,000. Out of 
 20,000 packages under it.s care fur the Army 
 of Virginia, it is not known that more than 
 one has miscarried. 
 
 It has at Washington a Directory of 
 500,000 names of soldiers who have been sick 
 or wounded, and has sent 15,000 answers to 
 inquiries about soldiers, received from their 
 friends. It is preparing statistical tables con- 
 taining facts regarding 750,000 men, for 
 future use. 
 
 It has distributed 8,000,000 articles since its 
 organization. After the battle of Shilob, for 
 example, in thirty-five days, 160,000 articles 
 were given to soldiers. In the month of June, 
 1863, articles to the number of 114,000, from 
 a pound of sago to an air bed, were distributed 
 to Gen. Grant's army. $250,000 of the 
 money income has been spent upon medicines, 
 farinaceous food, beef, stock, &c., not includ- 
 ing the expenses of forwarding dressers and 
 nurses. 
 
 It has established Homes and Lodges in all 
 cities in the neighborhood of our armies, for 
 the free reception of soldiers. Here, the sol- 
 
 dier waiting to join his regiment, and who has 
 lost or been robbed of his money, the soldier 
 who has been discharged convalescent from 
 hospital, and has suddenly fallen sick on his 
 way home, the soldier who has to wait 
 because some mistake has been made in bis 
 papers, or because he has lost them, in short, 
 all the waifs and estrays of the army here 
 find a refuge, food and lodging, till the faithful 
 relief agent ha- rectified all difficulties. 
 
 The Commission, by its agents, with medi- 
 cine, food and clothing, has been constantly 
 on hand on most of the fields of battle, some- 
 times under fire, as at Fort Wagner and at 
 Gettysburg, rescuing the wounded or giving 
 relief after the battle. They have their own 
 transportation wagons, and it has often hap- 
 pened in the emergencies of battle tliat their 
 supplies were accessible when the regular 
 supplies had not arrived, or had been cut off 
 by the enemy, or had been exhausted. Their 
 stores were in this way available after the 
 battles of Fort Donelson and of Bull Run in 
 1862. At Antietam alone their agents re- 
 lieved 8,000 wounded, and the Commission 
 thinks their agents were instrumental in 
 saving a thousand lives. 
 
 It has succeeded in sending many thousand 
 dollars' worth of stores to our prisoners at 
 Richmond, and has not scorned to relieve 
 wounded rebels in our hands. It establishes 
 every where when needed, temporary hospi- 
 tals ; is not wanting with hospital steam- 
 ers and hospital cars, whenever a battle has 
 occurred; dispatches its supply steamers when- 
 ever a voice tells that fresh vegetables or ice or 
 other similar help is needed. It has collected 
 from all sources vaccine matter and distribu- 
 ted it. It has established an agency to obtain 
 pensions for soldiers without charge. Natu- 
 rally generals like Rosecrans, Gilmore, Grant 
 and Butler, and many army surgeons have 
 officially testified to the great and timely 
 value of these services which they had ob- 
 served personally. Yet thousands of soldiers 
 and many officers have received nursing and 
 needful supplies from the stores of the agents 
 of the Commission, and have supposed to the 
 last that it was only Government aid and not 
 that of the agents of their friends at home. 
 
 After considerable study of the documents 
 and statistics of the Commission, I have con- 
 cluded that while on the one hand we and all 
 the million soldiers who have been in the 
 army are indebted to the Commission for what 
 it has done in protecting them from attacks 
 of di.scase, on the other hand probably more 
 than 400,000 soldiers are personally and di- 
 rectly indebted to the agents of the Commis- 
 sion for important material aid and care. And, 
 therefore, with tears of gratitude, we say, 
 God reward the Sanitary Commission, the 
 men who serve without pay in directing the 
 labors of their kind and faithful agents.

 " Whale's teeth carved by sailors. 
 
 Of spinning a yarn instead, — 
 
 (In vain our historical labors 
 
 If the whale has a tooth in his head). 
 
 " Coin .' " A blessed sight to be sure ! 
 
 Let me utter that word again ; 
 
 " Coin!" Shall we ever handle it more f 
 
 Do we dream of specie in vain ? 
 
 [To be continued.] 
 
 What's in a Name, 
 
 If you would use your words aright, 
 Amidst the mazes of our Fair ; 
 
 Just say that things are outre, quite. 
 The place itself bizarre. 
 
 What He Went For, 
 
 " Say, have you been to the Bazaar ? " 
 
 Said Smith to Jones upon the street; 
 " Ah, yes, and 'lis a great affair, 
 
 I do not think it can be beat." 
 " But did you see the things," said he, — 
 
 " No," Jones replied, with careless air, — 
 " There was to great a crowd to see; 
 
 Besides, I went to see the Fair." 
 
 At St. Lonis, the other day, Gen. Grant 
 registered liis name, " U. S. Grant, Chatta- 
 nooga." Plainness is a part of his Vicks- 
 burgh fame. 
 
 Woman, 
 
 A QD-BIODSLY QUIET AND QUAINTLY QDEEB BALLAD. 
 
 When dear woman from the fashions 
 Turns, the soldier's cause to cheer — 
 Spends her precious time and dollars. 
 Then " we ask you is'nt it queer ? " 
 
 When the dainty 'broidered 'kerchief 
 Wipes away the soldier'.-^ tear ; 
 Bathes his brow with choicest perfame, 
 Then " we ask you is'nt it queer ! " 
 
 When she peddles tea and doughuuts. 
 Oysters, quail and partridge dear. 
 Lemonade and water-ices. 
 Then " we ask you is'nt it que«r ? " 
 
 When the gay Venetian lady. 
 
 Or the graceful Vivaudiere, 
 
 From your pocket draws the " quarters," 
 
 Then " we ask you is'nt it queer ?" 
 
 When with bright eyes bending o'er you, 
 Azucena's voice you hear ; 
 How your little heart will flutter. 
 And you whisper " is'nt it queer ? " 
 
 When the dusky Indian maidens. 
 In their curious, beaded gear, 
 SfU you bits of stone as " relics ; " 
 Then " we ask you is'nt it queer? " 
 
 When she reads this queerious ditty. 
 With its aroma of beer, 
 How her little eyes will sparkle 
 As she asks you " is'nt it queer ? "

 Lot US drink from the Canteen,

 And turned our old Dutch city 
 Topsyturvy, out of pity 
 
 For the heroes of the war ; 
 
 Here's to the Bazaar I 
 
 And a fig for pronunciation I 
 Oddities of every nation, 
 Japanese and Gipsy races, 
 And tame savages, and places 
 
 For all things that strangest are : 
 
 Here's to the bizaare I 
 
 And a going and a coming, 
 
 And a swarming and a humming 
 
 As if Hybla and H3'meltus 
 
 Had turned out their throngs ; and let us 
 
 Never mind the final r : 
 
 Here's to the buzz ah ! 
 
 And the buzzers that moreover, 
 As they find themselves in clover, 
 Make not only noise but honey, 
 Or what's equal thereto, money ; 
 
 Hail Columbia, hurrah I 
 
 Here's to the bees ah I 
 
 And though industry, inhuman ! 
 Is personified by women. 
 Let the real honey-makers 
 In our good will be partakers : 
 
 Sing America, hurrah ! 
 
 Here's to the beaux ahl 
 
 So let's drink from the Canteen, 
 (Rarest chalice ever seen,) 
 To the glorious old Ark 
 That's erected in the Park 
 
 For the heroes of the war :

 Inside Pictures of the Bazaar. 
 
 Wo. 7. 
 
 THE ART GALLERY. 
 I here just returned from the exhibition of 
 Painting and Sculpture at Palmer's Studio. 
 Going from the bustling crowd in the Bazaar, 
 with its noise and confusion, its oddities and 
 fantastic effects, one enters the Studio with a 
 perception of a sudden charm in its prevailing 
 atmosphere of beauty and silence. The pic- 
 ture-hung walls, the statues placed here and 
 there, raal<e a place of enchantment. I need 
 not dwell on Palmer's Sculpture. All lovers 
 of true art recognize him as a correct worker 
 and thinker ; his conceptions belong wholly 
 to himself. If, according to Ruskin, " Fine 
 art is that in which the hand, the head, and 
 the heart of man go together," then is Palmer 
 one of its exponents in this age ? 
 
 The pictures are well hung and best seen 
 by night, since, with the admirable light, not 
 one is then in shadow. Elliott's portraits of 
 Mr. Corning and Mr. Palmer are wonderful as 
 likenesses, and remarkable for clearness and 
 richness of color. His "Falstaff's" is a re- 
 fined fuTi-loving face ; he has treated the lazy, 
 selfish, careless old braggart, after a kindly 
 fashion ; it would have rejoiced Queen Eliza- 
 beth's heart to have seen h?r Shakspoarian 
 favorite so pictured. Eight or nine pictures 
 by Church, are all remarkable for his peculiar 
 style — his perfect brilliancy of color — his ex- 
 quisite elaboration. His " Coast of Maine " 
 has a wonderful sun, but a friend suggested, 
 as we looked at the picture, that the farthest 
 seashore would be best done away with, since 
 the sun seemed to hang between the two 
 beaches, and it has indeed this effect. His 
 " Home of the Pioneer " is a truly beautiful 
 picture — no painter in this country manages 
 his coloring so marvelously with such a per- 
 meating glow. 
 
 "The Helping Hand," by Boughton, is a 
 little thing one would like to carry away, so 
 truthful is it, so like in its perfect naturalness 
 to the tiny figure, we can all remember that 
 helps by hindering. 
 
 " Catrina Van Tassel, by Huntington, is a 
 pretty picture, carefully finished. 
 
 Kensett's " Memory of the Catskills," is 
 suggestive and beautiful. 
 
 Two pictures by Lcmmcns, " In Clover " 
 and " The Farm Yard," are especially fine ; 
 so faithfully true to nature that the living 
 things look alive. 
 
 " The Blackberiy Bush," by T. W. Rich- 
 ards, ought to please a Pre-Raphaelite, such 
 an earnest and true little picture it is. 
 
 Ferguson's three pictures are fine — fine, 
 too, in the greater things they promise, for 
 there is a depth of possibility in him. One 
 can look far into one of his pictures, and feel 
 in the very midst of the nature he portrays. 
 
 " Winter," by Boughton, is natural and 
 touching. The deserted homestead, the neg- 
 lected trees, the waste of snow, the dreary 
 moonlight, all form a whole of sorrowful 
 desolation. 
 
 William and James Hart have several 
 beautiful pictures in the collection. True 
 artists, they have looked so lovingly into Na- 
 ture that the great mother has been kind to 
 them, teaching them secrets which have 
 escaped less careful and reverent students. 
 Perhaps it is not quite orthodox, but I think 
 I like James Hart the best. His " Morning 
 in the Northern Wilds," is wonderful in its 
 fidelity to nature. 
 
 " Paestum," by J. F. Cropsey, a small pic- 
 ture of rare beauty — ruins of temples — s 
 level, uninhabited plain — a deep Italian twi 
 light sky — this is all ; but it is so exquisitely 
 managed, the light left in the sky after sun 
 set, is so perfect, and the desolation is so 
 complete, that one is deeply touched. 
 
 But I have not time to dwell longer upon 
 these pictures. Durand, Lane, Martin, East- 
 man, .Johnson, J. F. Pcele, Freeman, Coleman 
 and others are well represented in their 
 works. The collection is enriched by some 
 pictures of painters, whose European reputa- 
 tion has placed their excellence beyond dis- 
 pute. Among these is the " Wreath of 
 Flowers," Meyer Von Bremen. This i 
 rare Pre-Raphaelite picture, if perfection of 
 finish in every detail, if truth to nature con 
 stitute Pre-Eaphaelitc»m; but in the face of 
 
 the girl weaving the garlands, there is onlyi 
 stolid red and white comeliness ; there is no 
 soul behind the eyes ; and after a vain attempt 
 to find expression somewhere, one turns away 
 with a sigh for what might have been. 
 
 THE FRENCH BOOTH. 
 
 One of (he largest and most attractive 
 booths of the Bazaar, is that over which the 
 names of France and Perfumery appear. In 
 the variety and elegance of its articles, there 
 are few that equal it. It possesses all the 
 brilliancy and gayety which distinguish the 
 nation it represents, and might be taken for a 
 saloon of Paris, crowded with national cha- 
 racteristics. The ladies who attend this 
 booth, have the charm and vivacity which are 
 synonymous with the French name. Some 
 of their costumes would not have detracted 
 from the brilliancy of that court at which our 
 own Franklin appeared and attracted so much 
 attention by his strangely contrasting repub- 
 lican simplicity, his fame, and his appeals for 
 the infant state. They and their fair wearers 
 have shone among the brightest, even in the 
 many brilliant and striking impersonations of 
 the Bazaar. 
 
 There is a great variety among the articles 
 of this booth. Beautiful pictures form the 
 back-ground, and the fore-ground is rich with 
 scores of things attractive to the fancy. The 
 ladies attending the booth are : Mrs. William 
 Cassidy, Mrs. Isaac Vanderpoel, Mrs. Putnam 
 and Mrs. Gourlay, assisted by Miss Germain, 
 Miss Page, Miss Grace Hilton, Miss Hand, 
 Miss Frothingham, Miss Vosburgh, Miss Mc- 
 Clure, M'lle D'Espeat, Miss Jessie Morange, 
 Miss Menaud and Miss Russell. 
 
 THE ORIENTAL BOOTH. 
 This booth is among the most striking and 
 characteristic. The crescent and the star 
 give it a peculiar prominence, and at once 
 identify it. In the appropriateness and com- 
 pleteness of its appointments it is unsurpassed, 
 and no visitor fails to notice it attentively. 
 The characters observe an exact fidelity to 
 life in their costume and manners, and as the 
 former is as rich and picturesque as the latter 
 are peculiar and national, the effect is very 
 marked. The careless luxuriance and indo- 
 
122 
 
 THE CANTEEN

 lent ease of the East are vividly and perfectly 
 represented, though such as attend to the 
 sales, exliibit an energy and industry which 
 belongs to another latitude. 
 
 The articles displayed in this booth embrace 
 a great variety, including of course, those 
 which belong to its clime. Its personnel is as 
 follows : 
 
 Mrs. Gen. John Tayler Cooper and Mrs. 
 Henry A. Homes, matrons ; assisted by Mrs. 
 B. C. Butler, Mrs. W. A. Thompson, Miss G. 
 Schuyler, Mrs. J. McD. Mclnlyre and Mrs. 
 T. Fondey ; and by the following persons in 
 Oriental costume : Miss* Fanny H. Cole, Sy- 
 rian ; Miss Josephine Hall, Algerine ; Miss 
 Anna E. Hall, Constantinopolitan ; Miss Mar- 
 cia Hartness, Circassian ; Miss Mary C. Jen- 
 kins, Smyrniote ; Miss Mary B. Mclntyre, 
 Circassian ; Miss Mary Parker, Circassian ; 
 Miss Sarah H. Schuyler, Persian ; Miss Grace 
 K. Skinner, Moorish ; Mr. J. Meredith Read, 
 Jr., Turkish; Mr. Eugene Van Rensselaer, 
 Albanian ; Mr. Billings Learned, Jr., Greek. 
 
 THE SPANISH BOOTH. 
 
 The land of Grenada and the Moorish wars, 
 of Ferdinand and Isabella, is well represented. 
 The Spanish Booth is tastefully ornamented, 
 well stocked, and heavy in its receipts. Its 
 ladies are fair, industrious and aflable, and 
 altogether it has taken a high stand among 
 its compeers. In the variety of its articles it 
 is particularly noticeable. Here are segars 
 whose excellence we are not qualified to 
 explain, and segar-holders, to possess which 
 almost justifies one for smoking. Here, also, 
 are rare and curious articles, and others which 
 are agreeable to the taste, and they have not 
 been displayed in vain. The sales have been 
 numerous, and the account of the Booth is 
 very creditable. 
 
 The representatives of the south of the 
 Pyrenees are : 
 
 Mrs. E. Wickes, Mrs. II. Harris, Miss Julia 
 Parmelee, Miss Jennie La Favor, Miss Anna 
 P. Tillinghast, Miss Anna Fassett, Miss Mary 
 Porter, Miss Anna Purant, Mr. Lansing 
 Pruyn, Jr., Mr. Leonard Ten Eyck. Mr. 
 Lucien Barnes, Cashier. 
 
 SCHENECTADY BOOTH. 
 Next to the Spanish Booth is that occupied 
 by the energetic representatives of Schenec- 
 tady. In the great work of aiding the sick 
 and wounded soldiers they have not been 
 backward. Their Booth has been filled with 
 a choice stock of useful and beautiful articles, 
 whose ready sale has demonstrated tlie s|iirit 
 of our friends " oyer the plains." Their fair- 
 ness and liberality hare been generally 
 remarked. The ladies in attendance are fit 
 representatives of the place which boasts of 
 "old Union," and tlieir names revive pleasant 
 recollections in the mind of every son of that 
 good mother. These names are : 
 
 Mrs. B. F. Potter, Mrs. Vibbard, Mrs. J. 
 Iv. Paige, Mrs. Crane, Mrs. Thomson, Mrs. 
 Piessner, Mrs. Van Antwerp, Miss Boyd, 
 Miss Paige, Miss Stuyvesant, Miss C. Paige, 
 Miss M. Lacy, Miss Franchot, Miss Jackson, 
 Miss Warnick, Miss Cady, Miss Potter, Miss 
 A. Brown, Miss Groot. Pages — C. H. War- 
 ren, T. II. Brainard. Mr. Lucieu Barnes, 
 Cashier. 
 
 THE RUSSIAN BOOTH. 
 
 A white bear appropriately guards the Rus- 
 sian Booth, but he is inviting rather than 
 repulsive. The articles exhibited are sugges- 
 tive of frigid northern climes, of ermine and 
 reindeer, of snow and ice, though the Booth 
 is not devoid of things of a more cosmopolitan 
 character. A splendid set of silver is dis- 
 played in a case standing in the centre, and 
 there are other things which tempt the eye 
 and the pocket. The temperature suggested 
 by some of the goods is dispelled from the 
 thoughts by a glance at the ladies of the 
 Bootli. Their genial and smiling appearance 
 makes one forget the rigor of the climate, and 
 opens both the heart and the purse. They 
 labor for the cause with a devotion which 
 does not misrepresent the sympathy felt by 
 Russia for our government in this struggle, 
 and with a success which is commensurate 
 with her power. 
 
 These ladies are : 
 
 Mrs. J. H. Van Antwerp, Mrs. T. F. 
 Humphrey, Miss Augusta Hendrickson, Miss 
 Kate Esmay, Miss Jennie Sabbaton, Miss 
 Carrie Springsteed, Miss Annie Springsteed, 
 Miss Sarah Vosburgh, Miss Ettic Van Ant- 
 werp, Miss Mary Badgley, Miss Mary Tread- 
 well. 
 
 James D. Wasson, Jr. is cashier.

 our wide-extended couutry where they are made

 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from their use, since the introduction of them into 
 the United States, thus establishing the fact beyond

 A clerk who hail absconded from l.,iverpool with 
 £2,50a, the property of his employers, after visiting 
 many places, arrived at liirmiiighain about 5 o'clock, 
 and after taking some refreshment, went to a popu-

 As It happencti, the pieij which was being per- 
 formed on the occasion ot "his visit, was the Ticket-

 drawn a moral from tlie representation, for when 
 the scene in which the int«;rview between Hawk 
 sbaw, the detective, and the Ticket-of-Leave-Man 
 took place, Parker, the clerk, became so all'ected, 
 that he went ont of the theatre, got three envelopes,

 tory will record that notwithstanding its 
 fearful destruction, this war was of incalcu- 
 lable benefit to the country. 
 
 The Lesson of the Pairs and the War. 
 The great Sanitary Faiis which have been 
 held in the large cities, eliciting the support 
 of entire communities, and uniting various 
 classes and interests, cannot fail to exercise a 
 permanent and elevating influence on the 
 people. They have developed a broad liber- 
 ality of spirit, with which we have not been 
 credited. They have shown that there are 
 times when, notwithstanding our traditionary 
 character, all the sympathies of our hearts are 
 drawn out, and our means are expended with 
 lavish profusion. Wo have been shut up 
 within ourselves ; they have made us look 
 beyond that narrow sphere. We have been 
 selfishly devoted to personal interests ; they 
 have caused us to recognize the fact, that hu- 
 manity has large claims upon us. We have 
 been negleclful of our duties and obligations 
 to the country ; they are the result of the les- 
 son which has been taught us, that to our 
 country, and those who nobly maintain its 
 cause in the field, our highest efforts are due. 
 
 In all this, these Fairs but carry still 
 farther the influence of the war itself. Dis- 
 astrous and destructive as war is, it often- 
 times brings benefits which more than com- 
 pensate for its losses. That in which we are 
 now engaged, will stamp itself upon all the 
 future of our country, not only on its political 
 history, but with equal force on its moral 
 character. 
 
 It has already purified and elevated us to a 
 degree which would surprise the acutest ob- 
 servers of three years ago. It has taught us 
 the priceless lesson that a strict adhesion to 
 principles is the only safe course. It has 
 demonstrated beyond cavil or doubt that to 
 temporize with injustice and to compromise 
 with wrong are fraught with the gravest 
 danger. These lessons are not only learned, 
 but they arc being acted upon. The sad and 
 mournful history of the last three years has 
 not been in vain. The bloody battle-field, the 
 funeral procession, tlie desolate fireside, have 
 produced a conviction and a determination 
 which nothing less severe could have accom- 
 plished. They have brought the people to a 
 frame of mind which will no longer permit 
 morality to be an element unknown in politics, 
 which will not sufier wrong and injustice to 
 triumph through a mistaken policy, and which 
 will not allow selfishness and avarice to be 
 the controlling principles of life. Future his- 
 
 The lair to Continue Next Week. 
 The pressure was too great. The enthusi- 
 asm of the people, and the demand from all 
 sides were so strong that the Managers have 
 been compelled to revoke their decision to 
 close the Fair this week. It was a pleasant 
 kind of compulsion, ready as I hey are to de- 
 vote thtir entire energies to the success of the 
 work so long as the public shall demand' it 
 and the Sanitary Commission can be aided. 
 The interest does'nt flag at all; on the con- 
 trary, it seems to be growing, judging from 
 the attendance and the receipts. That the 
 Fai r is a splendid success, is plainly established. 
 
 The Buffalo Fair has closed, as we 
 learn, having netted about $25,000. 
 
 The receipts of the Fair up to the 
 present time must be over $80,000. The 
 figure grows heavily every day. 
 
 J^" The Yankee Booth is becoming more 
 characteristic all the while. The signs, as 
 well as what they announce, belong to " down 
 east." 
 
 An old paradox tells us that " The 
 calmest husbands make the stormiest wives," 
 Whether this be true or not, it is certain that 
 the prettiest girls makes the best salesmen. 
 
 B^^ From the interest manifested by the 
 people in the drawing of lotteries, we should 
 judge that few scruples on the subject are 
 entertained by our citizens. 
 
 Where is our " Troy associate ? " We 
 hav'nt heard from him since the first number. 
 The Fair ought to inspire rather than over- 
 come him. Will the lady representatives from 
 Troy look into the matter ? 
 
 In the Autograph Booth there is a 
 very interesting letter and autograph of Ben- 
 jamin D'Israeli, the eminent English scholar 
 and statesmen, sent to Alfred B. Street some 
 ten years ago on the publication of one of his 
 poems. It is a rare and valuable autograph 
 
 'jWe think no one can be found to dis- 
 pute that in the beauty of its ornaments, the 
 fitness of its arrangements and the splendor 
 of the general effect, our Fair surpasses any 
 that has been held elsewhere. It is the con- 
 fession of all who visit us from the cities where 
 they have been held or are now in progress. 
 
 B^" The Curiosity shop will receive an 
 important acquisition to-day, being nothing 
 less than some of the hair of the General and 
 Mrs. Washington, enclosed in a frame with a 
 letter to Major Andrew Billings, maternal 
 grandfather of Alfred B. Street. The " Shop " 
 is all the time adding to its curious and in- 
 teresting relics.

 For tiik Canteen. 
 
 A Stroll throngh tlie Bazaar, 
 
 The J5azaar Las thus far proved a complete 
 success, fully realizing the most sanguine ex- 
 pectations of the noble hearted citizens who 
 have engaged in the enterprise. 
 
 The visitor who passes a morning in the 
 examination of the difTerent booths, is richly 
 compensated for the time thus spent. Each 
 booth is a beautiful picture, whether he con- 
 sider the variety of the articles displayed in 
 them, or the artistic arrangement of the cos- 
 tumes of the ladies, or the beauty and grace 
 of the ladies themselves. Here we see all 
 that taste and wealth can combine to tempt 
 the eye — rich and delicate embroideries at- 
 tract by their brilliant coloring and exquisite 
 • designs ; fancy work of every description, 
 with superb laces and magnificent casl^ercs, 
 add to the general attractions. 
 
 There is a historic interest in the beautiful 
 arrangements and decorations of these booths ; 
 the green draping of one with the harp — not 
 only recalled the Emerald Isle, in its luxuri- 
 ant beauty — but we could almost fancy we 
 hear mournful melodies sweeping across the 
 strings of the instrument, telling- of wrong 
 and oppression — we sigh as we pay the tri- 
 bute of a tear to the memory of the noble and 
 the enthusiastic of her brave people. 
 
 The plaid and the thistle of Scotland were 
 equally significant, and we felt as if the great 
 magician of the north was still in our midst, 
 telling us witching tales of the heroes of the 
 land of Wallace, of Burns, and of the lovely 
 Mary Queen of Scots. But in none of these 
 booths is the feeling of pride in the past more 
 deep and more permanent than in the Trophy 
 Booth. The design and arrangement of these 
 mementoes of our country's history, is strik- 
 ing and impressive ; perhaps no part of the 
 Bazaar merits more attention. Great praise 
 is due to Gen. Sprague, who originated the 
 idea of collecting here these trophies, and for 
 the effective manner in which his plan has 
 been carried out, rendering this one of the 
 most interesting as well as instructive parts 
 of the Bazaar. 
 
 A great variety of war-like weapons is here 
 collected — from the tomahawk of the Indian 
 to the most approved and perfect inventions 
 of the present time. We were reminded of 
 the battles of the revolution — of the great 
 struggle in which our fathers fought and bled 
 in the noble cause of liberty. Here we see 
 the commencement of that glorious contest 
 which terminated in the erection of a new 
 empire in the world's great drama — a free 
 and independent nation — with a government 
 the best, the noblest, the earth has seen — a 
 government founded upon just principles, re- 
 cognizing the rights of all, and offering its 
 protection to the oppressed of every clime. 
 What a glorious consummation was this. What 
 
 a feeling of pride animates the beholder as the 
 recollection of the high and noble mission of 
 our beloved country, with all its splendid me- 
 mories comes thronging to hi^heart. 
 
 The Flags which drape the interior of this 
 booth arc full of interest for every Amei ican, 
 for every citizen of this great state ; each one 
 is a history of itself; each one is a proud me- 
 mento of the valor and heroism of our noble 
 soldiers. Some have been in many battles, 
 and their faded hues and worn remains bear 
 testimony to their seiTice ; all bear their si- 
 lent eloquent record of the gallantry of their 
 brave defenders. All tell the same sad story, 
 of the present gloom which overshadows the 
 brightness of our nation's prosperity. Civil 
 war is desolating this once happy country, 
 and causing her to pass through an ordeal 
 more terrible than any ever before endured 
 by any people. As we look at these faded 
 banners, and receive their silent teachings, 
 our hope is in the valor and heroism of their 
 noble defenders, in the justice of our cause, 
 and in the protecting power of heaven. We 
 trust our country will pass through this trial 
 with honor, made better for these afflictions, 
 purified by suffering, and once more a free 
 and united people, become again the home of 
 the oppressed. 
 
 There are also many of the rebel flags, with 
 their bars and stars and southern cross, cap- 
 tured from the enemy — melancholy proofs 
 of this terrible fratricidal war, which is carry- 
 ing desolation throughout the length and the 
 breadth of our land. How dark is their sad 
 record ? They tell the story of treason, the 
 blackest treason the world has ever seen ; trea- 
 son against the freeest and best of govern-, 
 ments ; of attempts to destroy this beautiful 
 fabric, and erect upon its ruins their own 
 hated rule. 
 
 We saw fragments of the Merrimac, and 
 also a plate from one of the Monitors — names 
 which awaken recollections of that wondrous 
 naval battle in tlie waters of the Chesapeake, 
 which stands unparalleled on the page of his- 
 tory. 
 
 From this interesting department we enter 
 the Military Booth, which seems a continua- 
 tion of the records of the former. There was 
 a beautiful propriety in assigning the arrange- 
 ment of this booth to the daughter of one of 
 our most distinguished officers ; and admirably 
 has she performed her task. 
 
 Here are collected the Photographs and 
 Autographs of the brave commanders of our 
 army and navy — actors in the scenes com- 
 memorated by those proud banners ; and 
 here, too, are fragments of shells from Fort 
 Sumter, fallen in the midst uf our heroic de- 
 fenders, messengers of defiance and death 
 from the hot-bed of treason, collected here as 
 if by their resistless eloquence to inspire the 
 hearts of all beholders, with the firm resolve 
 
 to spare no effort, no energy, until the blot 
 upon our nation's fair escutcheon is washed 
 away, and the insult to our national flag is 
 forgotten in our future triumphs. 
 
 Such are some of the reflections suggested 
 by a shoit visit to the Bazaar. A volume

 A Closing Ode. 
 We are indebted to Mr. Sherwin for a copy 
 of the following letter containing a patriotic 
 ode, written for the purpose therein named. 
 Mr. Sherwin is diligently engaged in trying 
 to set it to music, but finds great difficulty in 
 deciding whether to modify Yankee Doodle, 
 or to form a medley, incorporating all the 
 patriotic tunes, from Hail Columbia to Rory 
 O'More. As he is confident that this ode 
 will supersede all our national songs and 
 hymns, he is strongly inclined to adopt the 
 latter plan, in order that these heretofore 
 favorite airs, if not the words, may be pre- 
 served. His decision will be duly announced 
 to the "grand chorus," who are patiently 
 waiting: 
 
 Mr. Wm. F. Sherwin — Dear Sir: I have 
 the honor of transmitting to you the following 
 patriotic ode, which you are requested to set 
 to music, designed to be sung in grand 
 chorus by the citizens of Albany, at the close 
 of the Army Relief Bazaar : 
 
 Oh! 
 What various emotions 611 my aoul, 
 
 When, lo ! ^ 
 
 I see before me as in fancy's panorama roll 
 The universal Yankee nation. 
 Not only tha grand lakes, 
 Whereto tlie eastern floods are no great shakes, 
 Not only the unrivaled land the sun shines on, 
 From Maine to Oregon ; 
 Not only the Father of Waters, 
 And all his innumerable cuiving and twisting 
 sous and daughters, 
 
 But, also and moreover, 
 The wonderful people that live in all this olo ver 
 Kush forth my song, 
 And tell how they pour along, 
 So fast one can hardly find 'em, • 
 And all their inventions, and notions, and SO 
 
 forth dragging behind 'em. 
 Here they come, gallant horse (for clothes), and 
 
 rider, 
 Whittling sticks and making cider, 
 Raising corn, and apples and hops, 
 
 And honey. 
 Floating lumber, and hoeing potatoes, and 
 
 minding shops, 
 And making laws, and shoes, and money ; 
 And blacking, and candy, and mills, 
 And engines, and nutmegs, and hats, and 
 
 presses and pills, 
 And tallow candles, and books, and a very few 
 
 pictures, and statues, and tapers, 
 And fabrications of all kinds, including those 
 for the papers ;

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Mar. 4. 
 
 'And stump-speechfS, and hangings for walls, 
 And evi'n tobacco, a sweet kind of yarb much 
 
 nsed in legislative halls ; 
 And artificial legs and arms as real as nator's, 
 
 and railroad cars, 
 And telegraiilis, and toys out of nut-sUells, and 
 Wigwams and Bazaars. 
 And stoves, and sich, 
 And getting rich 
 Out of it all, and that isn't a circumstance 
 To all they can d3 if you give 'em a chance, 
 Or even if you don't. And iron-clads, and 
 
 terrible guns, 
 Wherewith to amaze and scatter the real Gotlis 
 
 and Vandals and Iluns, 
 And inflict on the British Lion and Co. an aw- 
 ful palpitation, 
 To be cured, homeopathically, with a few more 
 iron pills. 
 
 Thus they go, beating all creation 
 And the rest of mankind, and then treating 'em 
 
 and footing the bills. 
 Hurrah for Ilail Columbia and Yankee Doodle ! 
 And whoever won't is nothing but a noodle. 
 Hail Columbia, liey diddle diddle, 
 From ago to age to thee we'll strike the sound- 
 ing fiddle. 
 
 The above is considered, by competent 
 judges, eminently adapted for singing'. The 
 author is the rising poet of America, whose 
 name ia Norval on the Grampian Hills — at 
 least the one by which he is known in the 
 literary world. By an association with him 
 in this great work, you will make your name 
 also immortal. 
 
 With the hope that you will sound, as it 
 were, the very depths of your frcnius, that 
 the result may be, so to speak, astounding, I 
 remain Yours, unfeigncdly, 
 
 O. AUGUSTUS NIBBS, 
 President of the Society for the Encourage- 
 ment of the Muses. 
 
 ^^ Wednesday was the most brilliant day 
 of the Fair thus far. The crowd in attendance 
 was so immense that locomotion was well nigh 
 impossible. The receipts were nearly $8,000, 
 being larger than on any former day. 
 
 Yesteiday was an equally brilliant day out- 
 side, and, as we write, promises to be little, 
 if any, inferior inside. 
 
 J^W" Our " Inside Pictures " to-day contain 
 sketches of the Art Gallery (of which the 
 sketch is particularly worthy of perusal), and 
 of several of the Booths. They have been 
 deferred until this late period, not because 
 they were less important than others, but 
 because it was unavoidable. Wc shall fiuisli 
 the series to-morrow. 
 
 f^ In naming the diaracters of the Wip- 
 •wam the other day, we dmitled to notice 
 Master J. 1. Johnson Jr., who i(joices under 
 the title of Mazavona. The little "Major" 
 is too important nu appendage to bo unmen- 
 tionod. 
 
 In the list of ladies in the United States 
 Booth the name of Miss Libbio McCammon 
 was omitted, as was also that of Miss Libbie 
 Van Bcnthuysen in the Yankee Booth.

 The family canteen fresh from the press; 
 Though blessed with all others, were this boon

 'Twere surely a grievance that naught could

 It soothes with quietude every emotion,

 THE CANTEEi? 
 
 Mar. 4. 
 
 From our Kenwood MaoMne, 
 THE CUIllOSITV SHOP (Continued). 
 
 XXV. 
 A small Japanese cabinet — 
 Less than that headed by Chase, 
 And of African birds black as jet, 
 There's a lot in a very sad case ; 
 There's a pair of Chinese slippers, 
 And, strangest you ever heard, 
 A paddle from South Sea clippers, 
 And ill mourning, a widow bird ! 
 
 XXVI. 
 
 A sword presented by a brave Fish, 
 
 Which had never run a race 
 
 From a foe or upset his " little dish," 
 
 Or made any change of base ; 
 
 An old New England sermon, 
 
 A hundred and fifty years of age, 
 
 With its nineteenthly subdivided 
 
 And its ninetieth musty page. 
 
 XXVII. 
 Dutch tile called Ornamental, 
 With many a pretty maxim 
 And lesson sentimental, 
 With pictures all to match 'em ; 
 A specimen of Virginia rock 
 With which the national bridge is turned- 
 The only bridge we may justly remark 
 That the Yankees have not burned. 
 
 XXVIII. 
 'Picture of Chinese Rebel Chief, 
 The son of the moon is after, 
 If he succeeds it is our belief 
 He will only catch a Tartar ; 
 Cup wrought from a bufllivlo horn^ 
 It must be very capacious — 
 Siamese coin, as sure as you're born I 
 Two tied together ? Gracious ! 
 
 XXIX. 
 
 There's General Putnam's parlor chair, 
 
 A thing that he never sat on, 
 
 For Old Put lived out in the open air, 
 
 And when he came in kept his hat on ; 
 
 A chair carved by an Indian, 
 
 One of those murdering whelps. 
 
 Thus employed, to us it was clear gain, 
 
 For it kept him from taking off scalps. 
 
 XXX. 
 
 Birds from the Island of Guernsey, 
 And poultry made of shells, — 
 (There's some mistake here I dare say. 
 Don't you mean Turtles, Mr. Wells ?) 
 A poisoned arrow from Aleppo — 
 The Castle of Heidelburgh — 
 An apple of Sodom from Jericho, 
 At the foot of the Heldeberg ! 
 
 XXXI. 
 
 S.aw of a Corpus Christ! fish. 
 Rattles from an aged snake, 
 Wh.ile tootli again {It is not our wish 
 A disputation here to make). 
 
 Also a lone star of Texas 
 On which Gen. Banks takes pity. 
 And will not allow to forsake us, 
 But means to restore to society. 
 
 XXXII. 
 
 Brass cannon cast at Amsterdam — 
 
 Used in many a bloodless figUt — 
 
 And one with Govert Lockerman, 
 
 Who flouted at wapcn rccht ; 
 
 It was used at Harvest Home 
 
 When not wanted in the war. 
 
 Now brought from island. Beam by name. 
 
 And placed in the Bazaar, 
 
 XXXIII. 
 
 Petrified ham in Alb.any clay, 
 Which if you get in you'll rue it, 
 If aught can make pork stick and stay 
 Why, that same clay can do it; 
 A Canteen taken from a Briton 
 Of good old-fashioned tin — 
 That was during the Revolution, 
 But it's by no means The Canteen. 
 
 XXXIV. 
 
 Here are Esquimaux sleds and knives. 
 
 An Esquimaux cup and camp, 
 
 A sample of Esquimaux wives, 
 
 And tlie way these savages tramp ; 
 
 Here's the Hammer the Indians employed 
 
 Ou Copper near Lakj Superior, 
 
 The old instrument's nearly destroyed. 
 
 But we've a new one in no way inferior.

 THE GERMAN BOOTH. 
 
 No class of persons hare entered into the 
 Fair with a more commendable spirit than 
 the Germans. They donated a thousand dol- 
 lars, and they have united two booths into 
 one, which, in the neatness and good taste 
 displayed in its arrangements, is not surpassed 
 by any in the Bazaar. The imitation of Co- 
 rinthian columns, with spotless muslin, is per- 
 fect. The Booth is filled with all sorts of 
 attractive and tempting things, and they are 
 offered in a way which is as pleasant as it is 
 effective. 
 
 The ladies in attendance are Mrs. P. Kerest- 
 ner, Mrs. Fischer, Mrs. Wolf, Mrs. Zeller, Mrs. 
 Schreiber, Mrs. Engel, Mrs. Michael, Misses 
 Betsey Moses, Emma Kiebler, Koonz, Clara 
 Gauss, Neusei Julker, Huber, Springhard, 
 Labishiner.

 Pages. — Masters E. Migguel, Julke, Hert- 
 lein, Tolle. 
 
 THE SWISS BOOTH. 
 The Swiss Booth is immediately at the left 
 of the entrance. There is no mistaking its 
 nationality, for the symbols are conspicuously 
 and tastily displayed. On one end of the cor- 
 nice is the ox-head of TJsi ; on the other end 
 is the bear of Berne, and in the centre the 
 head of Tell proclaims the freedom of Swit- 
 zerland. The interior of the Booth is happily 
 arranged, and presents the appearance of a 
 boudoir rather than that of a mart for the 
 Bale of goods. But the transactions at the 
 counter leave no doubt as to the character of 
 the place. The articles displayed are such as 
 might well have been made in Switzerland, 
 being toys and curiosities, and various things 
 which the Swiss delight in. The ladies of the 
 Booth have a jaunty costume which well be- 
 comes their country, and their grace and 
 attfjjptiveness are particularly noticeable. 
 
 They are Mrs. J. V. P. Quackenbush, Ma- 
 tron, and Misses Sara Monteath, Lydia Lush, 
 Louise Quackenbush, Annie Edson, Jenny 
 
 Stebbins, Hattie Monteath, Maria Germain. 
 
 • 
 
 THE MILITARY BOOTH. 
 
 The Military Booth adjoins the Trophy 
 Booth, and contains many valuable and appro- 
 priate articles. Here are trusty swords, 
 shoulder-straps which would adorn any ofB- 
 cer, spurs which a cavalier might well envy, 
 and all the paraphernalia that help make up 
 the " pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious 
 war." The book containing the photographs 
 and autographs of the Generals of the Union 
 army, is here. The ladies are dressed partially 
 in the costume of officers, bearing the insignia 
 of rank. The booth is very appropriately in 
 charge of Miss Margaret Worth, daughter of 
 the late General, who was a resident of our 
 city. The Ladies assisting her are : 
 
 Miss Sprague, Miss Mary Spragiie, Miss 
 Lizzie Worth, Miss Nelly Tremain, Miss Mary 
 De Camp, Miss Mary Cagger, Miss Mary Hil- 
 ton, Miss Mary Sandford, Miss Jessie Mon- 
 teath, Miss Libby Mclntyre, Miss Mary 
 Kearney, Miss Courtney, Miss Kate Vernam, 
 and Miss Boot, 
 
 THE JAPANESE BOOTH. 
 
 The far East is well represented. Its booth 
 is striking and characteristic, and the articles 
 are eminently distinctive. Chinese lanterns 
 (which are appropriated by Japan notwith- 
 standing the name), are suspended from the 
 cornice, and the skillful handiwork of this 
 nation is displayed in great profusion. The 
 ladies in attendance are arrayed in costumes 
 which Minister Pruyn would find no difficulty 
 in recognizing. The pendent queue and the 
 variegated garments are unmistakable, but 
 the faces belong to another and fairer race. 
 The ladies in attendance are : 
 
 Mrs. A. Johnson, Mrs. Alfred Van Sant- 
 voord, Miss Mary Johnson, Miss Julia Douw, 
 Miss Susie Barnaum, Miss Katy V. R. Elmen 
 dorf. 
 
 The gentlemen assisting are Mr. Jphn Huff, 
 Mr. Townsend Lansing. Mr. Lucien Barnes, 
 cashier. 
 
 THE KINDERHOOK BOOTH. 
 
 There are no articles better made than 
 those donated by the ladies of Kinderhook, 
 and they have an irresistible way of discov- 
 ering just what the saunterer wants, and pleas- 
 ing him in the selection. The temptation to in- 
 vest is difficult to resist, and the plethora of the 
 pocket is easily relieved. Children's clothing, 
 sofa pillows, breakfast shawls, crib comforters, 
 just the things for the season, with a great va- 
 riety of fancy and useful articles may be here 
 procured. They are all from the home of one 
 of our Presidents. Don't fail to call on our 
 Kinderhook friends. The ladies in attend- 
 ance are : 
 
 Miss Lydia Van Allen, Mrs. Wm. H. Tobey, 
 Miss Cassie Pruj'n, Mrs. Jas. Lathrop, Miss 
 Alida Graves, Miss M. E. Bain, Miss Judith 
 A. Grant, Miss Kate C. Van Dyck. 
 
 THE TROY BOOTHS. 
 
 We have been confidently expecting, all the 
 week, an article from a Troy gentleman, fully- 
 describing the Troy booths. We have not 
 received it ; and, at the last moment, are 
 compelled to make a hasty reference to them ; 
 a reference so hasty that it cannot do them 
 any kind of justice. The citizens of Troy 
 have entered into the spirit of the Bazaar 
 with the utmost enthusiasm and energy} 
 They have devoted themselves to the work 
 with a zeal which has elicited the applause 
 of all. Their booths are not excelled in the 
 beauty of their decorations, and are filled 
 with a vast variety of rich, beautiful and 
 useful articles. Their sales have been re- 
 markably large. The ladies attending booths 
 are not surpassed in the charming grace with 
 which they perform their duties, and the in- 
 dustry with which they have labored. Troj 
 has, indeed, evinced a spirit which entitles it 
 to the highest credit, and which establishes 
 its claim to the possession of a liberal and 
 generous character. We wish that we might 
 refer to her part in the Bazaar in a more 
 adequate and just manner, but are unable to 
 do 30 at present. 
 
 The ladies who have attended these booths 
 are:

 THE ENGLISH BOOTH. 
 
 We e.xpected a description of the English 
 Booth, which would have done it full justice, 
 from hands thoroughly familiar with it. It is 
 not at hand, and we have only time to say 
 that the Booth is inferior to none, whether 
 its e.vternal appearance, its interior arrange- 
 ments and display, or its results, are considered. 
 The arms of St. George appropriately decorate 
 it, and the daughters of St. George maintain 
 the reputation of their country. They are : 
 
 Misses Tweddle, Belle Tweddle, Mrs. 
 
 Alfred White, and Mrs. J. A. Reed, assisted 
 by Misses Colby, Hand, Alice Lacey, Jose- 
 phine Austin, Headlani, Lizzie Ileadlam, 
 
 Cooper, Fcarey, Stuart, Thompson, Lathrop, 
 Warrington, Redfleld, and the Misses Wiles 
 
 A gentleman being asked what he had for 
 dinner, replied, "A lean wife roasted, and the 
 ruin of man for sauce." What did the din- 
 ner consist of? Spare rib and apple sauce. 
 
 A rebel paper declares that unless they can 
 recover East Tennessee, they can get no salt- 
 petre. But even if they can, Ealtpetre won't 
 save them. 
 
 Canticles for the Canteen. 
 
 KUMEER TWO. 
 
 Sing a song of sixpence, that ancient institution, 
 
 That has been known among us ever since tlie 
 Revolution ; 
 
 Or, as that rather foreign coin is out of circula- 
 tion, 
 
 It is no crime to name a dime unto this Feder.il 
 nation. 
 
 Once on a time, then, dwelt a dime of some- 
 what high pretensions, 
 
 Whose notions of himself were stretched into 
 these broad extensions : 
 
 " One dime is just as good as ten, whatever 
 tables preach us ; 
 
 A part is greater than the whole, our mathe- 
 matics teach us." 
 
 " Stand for your rights ye copper cents, against 
 
 all usurpations : 
 Against all dolorous claims lift up confederate 
 
 protestations ; 
 Strike a bold stroke, and burst the yoke, and 
 
 break the silver collar I " 
 So saying, the indignant dime seceded from the 
 
 dollar. 
 
 Ah ! there was dolor soon enough among the 
 wayward fractions, 
 
 And there were mutterings then and there, and 
 loud dissatisfactions : 
 
 " One cent is just as good as ten, whatever 
 tables preach us, 
 
 A part is greater than the whole, our mathe- 
 matics teach us." 
 
 But through the clamor and the whirl of 
 strange things done and spoken, 
 
 Its silver circle, after all, the dollar kept un- 
 broken ; 
 
 And the world went on the old way, and every 
 youthful scholar 
 
 Continued the old ditty of, " ten dimes m-ake 
 one dollar."

 of boxes are sold annu-

 of Flowers, Roots, Bal- 
 sams and Extracts — their 
 effect on the human sys- 
 tem is ideasaut, satisfiic- 
 tory and successful. Act- 
 ing directly on the blood, 
 ylands, solids and tiuids of 
 the body, their use is at- 
 tended with the hapjiicst 
 effects. In sudden attacks 
 
 of diseases, one or two 
 
 doses almost always cures. In old standing cases 
 td sickness, small doses — repeated frequently — so 
 cleanse the system that good health is the result. 
 No change in employment or diet is necessary. 
 Thev never cause sore mouths, swelled joints, acli- 
 iug "limbs, etc., as do luany other kinds. Thev are 
 warranted to give satisfaction, or the money will be 
 refunded. They are considered cheaper, sjifer, 
 pretier, and in all' respects superior to anv purgative 
 pill in the world. 
 
 In many cases, where the dreadful ravages of ul- 
 ceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where 
 to all .ippearance no human means could save life, 
 patients have, by the use of these Pills, been re- 
 stored to good health ; (lie devouring disease having 
 been completely eradicated. 
 
 In consecineuce of the pleasantness of their opera- 
 tion thev are universally used in every section of 
 our wide-extended country where they .are made 
 known, and are fast suiicrsediiig everv ofher prepa- 
 ration of professed similar import. Up'wards of forty 
 thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely 
 from their use, since the introduction of them into 
 the United States, thus establishing the fact beyond 
 all doulit that Herrick's Pills cure the (apparently) 
 mo.sf opposite diseases by the one simple act of con- 
 tinually evacuating the' bowels until the disease 
 gnves way ; therefore, whatever may be said of the 
 Theory, the utility of Practice is now beyond all 
 doubt. 
 
 E;y The discovery of coating a Pill with sugar, 
 emanated \yith Dr. Herrick. All others are counter 
 feits, and, if used, will do harm, and disappoint the 
 sick. Herrick's Pills are elegantly put up, 30 iu a 
 box, with a large sheet of directions, and sell for 25 
 cents per box ; 5 boxes for $1.

 These renowned Plasters cure pains, weakness,

 Indeed, so certain are they to do this, that the pro- 
 prietor warranls them. Spread from resin, balsams

 others, riieir amdicatiou is uiiiversal— eipially to 
 the strong niau, tiie IVebli' woman and the delicate

 Jl blessing. 
 
 Their use is ajreeahle, and without annoyance 
 
 or trouble. Each plaster will wear from one to

 and bruises, frequently effect cures when all other 
 remedies fail. Full directions will be fonnd on the

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Mar. 5. 
 
 EDITED BY 
 
 MK. SMITH. 
 
 ALBANY, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1864. 
 
 The End. 
 Our present number closes the regular 
 series of the The Canteen. The paper 
 was started with the intention of issuing 
 twelve numbers. Advertisements were se- 
 cured upon that basis, and when this was 
 projected and being arranged, it was thought 
 that the Fair would last only two weeks. 
 The public demands that it sliall be continued 
 for a longer period, and the Managers have 
 wisely yielded to the demand. We may, 
 therefore, deem it advisable to issue a supple- 
 mental number, ne.\t week, in order that the 
 record of the Bazaar may be completed. If 
 this is done, due notice will be given. 
 
 Oui Last Gurgle. 
 To lay aside the pen is more grateful than 
 to take it up. During the last two weeks 
 we have swung it rapidly, if not gracefully, 
 and fearfully, if not fearlessly. We are per- 
 fectly conscious that our work could have 
 been done much better, and, indeed, we think 
 we could have done it better ourselves. We 
 humbly acknowledge that we have not 
 profited as we ought by the suggestions 
 which have been kindly volunteered, for when 
 one set of men told us that we were too per- 
 sonal and pungent, and another set told us 
 that we were too dull aud pointless, we might 
 have struck upon the happy mean of saying 
 nothing at all. Undoubtedly there have been 
 stupid things in our columns, hut unfortu- 
 nately we had not the corps of a magazine at 
 work for us, and, what is infinitely worse, 
 our criticizing readers themselves wouldn't 
 write, as they ought in fairness to have done, 
 and thus made our paper by far the most 
 brilliant ever published here or elsewhere. 
 Advertisers, too, kept flowing in upon us, 
 narrowing our space aud crowding out a vast 
 variety of most excellent matter. We pro- 
 tested, of course, most earnestly, but our 
 business managers, who limit us strictly to 
 our editorial labors, were inexorable, and 
 pointed with a good deal of force to similar 
 papers published in places whose literary 
 repute is so high that classical names have 
 been given them (by themselves) — papers 
 which were all filled with advertisements, 
 save one or two columns, or a page at most. 
 We were effectually silenced, and have since 
 then attended exclusively to our own depart- 
 ment. 
 
 We are gratified to be informed, as we have 
 been, that in spite of all these weighty disad- 
 vantages our paper has given general satis- 
 faction. The public is certainly very generous, 
 and has our hearty thanks. When we recol- 
 lect what an unknown sea we ventured upon, 
 and what a small craft we employed, we are 
 amazed to think that we have not been over- 
 whelmed by the roaring waves. If it does 
 not demonstrate skillful piloting, it must im- 
 ply an indulgence on the part of the waves 
 which we had no reason to expect. If it 
 cannot be said that we 
 
 Command 
 Even by the gentle motion of tlie hand, 
 it argues a kind obedience in the public which 
 answers the same purpose. This kindness of 
 the public will be gratefully remembered, and 
 when we get another chance to tickle it in a 
 good cause, we shall improve it most assidu- 
 ously. 
 
 Many things have been sent us that we have 
 been obliged to lay aside for the very good 
 reason that there is no law which can make 
 a Canteen hold more than a certain quantity. 
 If its capacity is a quart it can't hold a gallon, 
 and certain unbending rules concerning the 
 relation of labor to time, have prevented us 
 from emptying and filling up more than once 
 a day. Contributors who have failed of 
 immortality will, we trust, not be too severe 
 in their judgment of our poor innocent selves. 
 
 We have aspired to nothing more than 
 to present a faithful record of the great 
 Bazaar. Our whole series forms such a record, 
 and with that we must be content. In laying 
 down our weapons, we are gratified if we 
 have contributed anything, however humble, 
 to the cause which is so near all our hearts. 
 If our duty has been arduous, it has also been 
 pleasant, and we shall cherish many grateful 
 recollections of the kindness of friends, and of 
 the beauty and glory which we have faintly 
 pictured. 
 
 The Success of the Bazaar. 
 
 The Bazaar has proved a most brilliant 
 success. It has exceeded all expectations. 
 The most sanguine did nol look for such mag- 
 nificent results. The unparalleled enthusiasm 
 of the people was as unexpected as it is glorious 
 and cheering. Their unstinted liberality has 
 been exhibited no less than their patriotism, 
 and both have united to give our city a prouder 
 name and a more exalted position. 
 
 This splendid success is due to the untiring 
 efforts of all. Where all have labored so 
 fatihfully and zealously, it would seem invidi- 
 ous to mention some. But we shall be borne 
 out by the public in according special praise 
 to President Thacher and Secretary Hall for 
 their indefatigable efforts, to Mr. Cuyler who 
 has managed the difiicult and laborious de- 
 partment of tickets and finances with un- 
 equaled ability, to Messrs. Ilawley, Fassett 
 
 and Knickerbocker, of the Building Commit- 
 tee, and indeed to all the managers. The 
 ladies, too, who have devoted their whole 
 time to the arduous work assigned them, have 
 given the Fair a brilliancy and success which 
 none but tliey could accomplish. 
 
 The great Bazaar will live in our memories 
 forever as the greatest undertaking of our 
 city. It has stamped itself upon our history, 
 and itS influence will be felt for years. We 
 shall look back to it with pride, and shall 
 repeat its stories with an interest which time 
 can hardly diminish. 
 
 Army Eelief Bazaai^-A Grand Ball 
 The Executive Committee of the Army Relief 
 Bazaar have resolved to give a Grand Ball, 
 which is to come off on Thursday evening, March 
 17th. That it will be brilliant, the character 
 of the Managers is a sufficient guarantee. They 
 embrace many of the most distinguished men 
 of the State. Tlie following is the Circular 
 announcing the Ball : 
 
 Army Relief Bazaar ) 
 
 Albany, March 3, 1864. J 
 
 The Executive Committee, in compliance 
 with what seems to them the universal desire, 
 have decided that their final effort to replenish 
 the fund upon which the sick and wounded of 
 our Army and Navy have come to rely so largely 
 for aid and comfort, shall be in the form of a 
 Ball, which, in our view of the vastness of their 
 building, its acceptability of decoration and its 
 general adaptation to the purpose in question, 
 may well be made grand. 
 
 Adhering to the policy which has governed 
 them from the beginning, the Committee aim 
 to make this Ball cosmoj olitan in character, and 
 with that view, while non-exempting their im- 
 mediate fellow -citizens, have drawn largely 
 upon non-resident gentlemen of position and 
 patriotism to give it character and efl'ect. 
 
 The Ball will be given on Thursday evening, 
 March 17th, under the direction of the follow- 
 ing Managers and Committees :

 Flowers for the Booths, 
 
 Mrs. DeWitt has supplied the numerous 
 Booths from her own green-house with a great 
 number of exquisite boquets. They have been 
 much admired and have yielded the Bazaar 
 over fifty dollars in money. 
 
 The interest this lady has taken in the great 
 eihibition, and her generous liberality in the 
 numerous contributions she has made, are 
 worthy of special commendation. 
 
 We felt a due sense of our unworthi- 
 ness, the other day, while sitting in a book- 
 store where The. Canteen is sold. A youth less 
 than five feet high entered, took one number 
 of our paper and paid for it; but, on being 
 asked if he would take the back numbers, 
 replied: "No! I only buy this number to 
 send to a friend in the country ; paper's so 
 stupid, can't read it myself." 
 
 It is the fate of true genius to fail of appre- 
 ciation. Shakspeare was not appreciated in 
 his lifetime, not even by himself. In this 
 latter respect we trust we have the advantage 
 of him. The late Mr. Thackeray used to 
 relate that, while dining alone at a hotel in 
 one of our western cities, he heard one 
 waiter say to another : 
 
 " Do you know that person V 
 
 " No !" 
 
 " That is the celebrated Mr. Thacker .'" 
 
 " What has he done ?" 
 
 " D— if I know !" 
 
 Our friend, in the bookstore, had not the 
 remotest idea of what we have done ! 
 
 The name of Mrs. Henry T. Buel 
 was inadvertently omitted from the list of 
 the Refreshment Committee.

 Books. 
 
 It has been computed that there arc in ex- 
 istence 10,.500,000 volumes of distinct works. 
 Of these about 650,000 are in the English 
 language. It may peiliaps be estimated that 
 50,000 of these would repay perusal. At the 
 rate of a hundred pages daily, this task would 
 require the snug little lifetime of 500 years. 
 It is plain to see from this that the art of 
 printing has been introduced into the world 
 at the wrong epoch. 
 
 It is very well to talk about men of leisure 
 like Enoch, and Methuselah and Noah reading 
 650,000 volumes, but it cannot be done in 
 these days. Perhaps, however, if they had 
 had such a task they would not have lived so 
 long. We should be sorry to have shortened 
 their lives in any degree, but it is a sort of 
 relief to wish that Mrs. Wood and Miss 
 Braddon and the authors of Sunday school 
 stories had lived in the days before the flood, 
 so that people would have had time to read 
 their countless productions, and so that the 
 flood which swept off so many other abomi- 
 nations might have carried these with them. 
 
 I have been thinking over this subject, and 
 have concluded not to undertake to master 
 English literature. And furthermore, I have 
 been seriously thinking in view of such ter- 
 rific figures, that it is a matter of no small 
 importance that readers, especially young 
 readers, should pursue their reading on some 
 reasonable system and not merely at random. 
 If there are so many works to be read, it 
 would seem to be important that we should 
 have some principles to guide us in selecting 
 those which are most to our profit. Here is 
 a want for some competent hand to fill, a man- 
 ual for readers to guide them \awhat they shall 
 read and hnw they shall read. 
 
 In the meantime I have a thought to pro- 
 pose which I suppose will be condemned as 
 heterodox by many wise people. Many of 
 the books that we read are perused for the 
 purpose of gleaning some few facts or thoughts 
 from them, or to learn the current of the 
 writer's mind. They are not worthy an at- 
 tentive perusal, or at least may not be of impor- 
 tance enough to us to justify it. In fact, there 
 are but few books which really deserve and 
 repay a careful and studious perusal. Every 
 man of thought and character has such books. 
 They are his pets, which he fondles and 
 caresses with a loving care. He comes back 
 to them with increasing delight. He reads 
 them lovingly, and lingers over them coax- 
 ingly. He sips them as we sip good wine, 
 little by little, does not gulp them down like 
 a tasteless sot. But such books are few, all 
 others it is important to read rapidly to get 
 what is in them without waste of time. 
 
 Now my heterodox thought is this: It is of 
 great importance for a man to form the habit 
 of reading rapidly. There is the greatest

 difference in this particular in the habits both 
 of men and cliildren. I know those who can 
 read a book as fast as they can turn over the 
 leaves, and this too not at the expense of a 
 loss of the meaning. It is not he who reads 
 slowest who gets out llie meaning most fully. 
 Slow reading is often merely bad reading. 
 They read slowly because thcj' have not 
 trained tliemsclves to catch nimbly at the 
 meaning of the sentences. Now, I say that 
 this habit of rapid reading gives a man a vast 
 advantage in the race of life. It saves him 
 many weary hours and many an ache of eye 
 and brain. 
 
 The habit is the combined effect of quick- 
 ness of vision and quickness of thought. 
 When the child begins to read he reads letter 
 by letter. By and by he karns to know the 
 words at sight, and this is as far as most read- 
 ers ever carry their training. But why stop 
 here ? Cannot the eye and mind be trained to 
 take in whole sentences as readily as when 
 untrained they grasped the words ? Even 
 more than this can often be accomplished. 
 The eye can be trained to take in at a glance 
 a whole page, and extract its meaning without: 
 the tedium of verbal examination. Guizot, the 
 historian, states somewhere that in his histo- 
 rical studies it often became necessary for him 
 to consult extensive books for inconsiderable 
 facts, the verification of a d.,te or name, or the 
 comparison of views. In turning over the 
 pages of these authorities, he says he found his 
 eye acquiring a peculiar dexterity and accu- 
 racy. A mere glance at a page told him 
 whether what he wanted was theie or not, 
 and this enabled him to pass the volumes 
 under inspection as rapidly as he could turn 
 the leaves. 
 
 It seems to me that this thought is worth 
 attention. If this habit of rapid, and yet 
 thorough, perusnl of books can be acquired, it 
 is worth striving for. It is said that Alex- 
 ander Hamilton possessed this ability in a 
 remarkable degree. Put into his hands a 
 volume, however large, at night, and in the 
 morning he could tell everything that was in 
 it. Life is short, literature is long; let us 
 contrive to compress as nnich of the long into 
 the short as we can.

 The Biggest Thing Yet Drawn — A good 
 joke was perpetrated at the expense of Dick- 
 son, the architect, a few nijihts ago at tlie 
 Bazaar. Wliile he was conversing with a 
 party a waggish friend rushed up and grasping 
 his hand, commenced congratulating him with 
 " Big thing! big thing! You have drawn the 
 biggest tiling of all." " Tlie deuce I have," said 
 Dickson, " what is it ? " the prizes of a dozen 
 or more schemes flitting through his mind. 
 'Why, the plan of (his buikling, of course," 
 was the response of tlie wag who is wanted 
 to sei' at the Booths.

 THE CANTEEN 
 
 Mar. 5. 
 
 The following explains itself most 
 happily : 
 
 JIiis. Franklin Townsend, Chairman Table 
 Committee, Albany Army Relief Bazaar : 
 Madam : Wj' wife and I have been con- 
 stant visitors at the Bazaar since the opening 
 day. We have, of course, been very much 
 delighted at what we saw. Both of us being 
 particularly impressed with the grace and 
 suavity of the young ladies consequent upon 
 your department — of one in particular ; on 
 our return home last evening, at the sugges- 
 tion of my wife, and the promptings of my 
 own feelings, 1 composed the enclosed verses, 
 which I respectfully submit and present to 
 the young ladies composing the Table Com- 
 mittee. 
 
 Troy to Albany, greeting! 
 
 With sentiments of distinguished conside- 
 ration, 1 beg leave to sign myself, 
 
 Yours, and your young ladies' 
 
 Most obedient serv.ant, 
 TROGA. 
 Troy, Wednesday afternoon, March 3, 18G4. 
 
 To all the "Pretty Waiter Girls" (in general), 
 
 AND 
 
 To One Pretty Waiter Gill (in particular). 
 
 They also serve who only stand and wait. 
 
 — Milton. 
 Night's shades and shutters made it dark, 
 As through the entrance to the park 
 I saw her glide — she and a platter, 
 With this device upon the Latter, 
 Bazaar. 
 
 Her dress was trail-less — red or blue T 
 No matter — don't you wish you knew ? 
 And as her aprou strings she tied — 
 An aprou with a bib — she cried, 
 Bazaar I 
 
 At brilliant booths, she saw the rush 
 Of gazing people — such a crush I 
 Straight through their midst her way she plied. 
 And didn't pout, but only sighed, 
 Bazaar. 
 
 " Try not to pass," a sm.iU boy said, 
 " Suppose your table is ahead, 
 The crowd is dense — best stop and rest," 
 The girl replied, as on she pressed, 
 Bazaar. 
 
 " 0, come and promenade with me, 
 And let those ' checks ' a moment be " — 
 Thus in her shell-like ear I prayed. 
 She shook her head and answer made, 
 Bazaar ! 
 
 "Look out you don't get worked to death, 
 And have to give np ghost and breath." 
 This was mamma's concluding word ; 
 The precious girl's reply was heard, 
 Bazaar I j 
 
 ' Till half-past ten, when we receive 
 From ringing bells, a hint to leave. 
 The music tempted her iu vain — 
 She only sang the low refrain, 
 Bazaar I 
 
 With nimble feet she e'er was found. 
 To wait on those who came around ; 
 Still in her hands, where'er she ran, 
 A platter with the monogram. 
 Bazaar I 
 
 There in the gaslight flashing bright. 
 She stands by day, she stands by night — 
 If heaven is hcr's when called to die, 
 This shallbe 'mid the reasons uhy — 
 Bazaar !
