[Writtan tortu Pltuton Gaaette.J A Southern Shoe Factory. One afternoon I Tinted it, and introduced myself to the superintendent as a stranger, attracted thither by cariosity. Me received me courteously and invited me to go thro' the establishment with him. I had pre' viously learned that he was an officer of some note under the " grey-eyed man of destiny," in Nicaragua. Hie physiognomy and manners impressed me as anmistakably Northern; but, to make assurance doubly sure, I ventured some remark which took it for granted that he was a native of New Orleans. He disclaimed this at once, informing me that he was a Missourian, from St. Louis. When I pursued the matter a little further, by speaking of some recent improvements in that city, he replied : "I was born in St. Louis, but left there when I was about twelve months old. Philadelphia has been my home since, until I came here to take oharge of thia establishment."She Will and She Wont. Doesticks seems to be resuscitated by marriage, though too much disposed to imitate his mother-in-law. He says: "One reason why it is so difficult to please a woman ia that she seldom knows herself what ahe want*. In most eases it is as hard to satiafy a woman as it would be to content a captain who should tell you to steer his ship and wouldn't tell you whether he wanted it to go to Jersey or Japan. They wouldn't be satisfied whatever you do. Bale* for Angling. Killing a Gorilla. D CARDS. MISCELLANEOUS. An angler should possess patience and resignation, not dejected with bad, nor overelated with good look, always remembering that he cannot always be successful. He should shelter himself as much as possible from the sight of the fish; trout especially are timorous and shy, and when angling especially for that game fish, one or two trials in the same place are amply sufficient, for he will either take the nait or reject it wholly. Olothes of a glaring color ahould not be worn by the angler, as being more discernable, and consequently alarming to the aquatio tribe. Always be careful to have your tackle neat, and your bait prepared with the greatest care. The best season is from March to Ootober, and the best time of day from three until nine in the morning, and from three until sunset. The cooler winds in the hot months the better your ohanee for a catch. Always remember that fish will net bite juat before a shower of rain. After a dark, oloudy, or windy night, little spori can be expected the next day in eatohing large fiah, and eapeoially with regard to trout; for in those nights they range about to pray on the smaller kinda; but if the night anould be rendered brilliant by the shining of the moon and stars, and the day following be gloomy and overcast, much sport may be depended on; for the fish are then as timorous as on sunshiny days, and never stir from the holes, having, therefore, abstained from food all night, they have become voracious, and encouraged by the darkness and gloominess of the day, venture to range about and bite with appetite and courage. In order to learn what ground bait is to be preferred for the respective fish you mean to kill, open the stomach of the first one you take and having ascertained on what he last fed, bait accordingly. There is generally good angling in whirlpools, under bridges, at the falls of mills, or in any place where the water ia deep and clear, and in localities where it ia not usually disturbed by wind or weather.—Porter'* Spirit of the Timet. M. de Chaillu thus desoribea the killing of a gorilla: Suddenly, as we were yet creeping along, in a silence which made a heavy breath seem lodd and distinct, the woods were at once filled with the tremendous barking roar of the gorilla. Then the underbrush awayed rapidly just ahead, and presently before us stood an immense male gorilla. He had gone through the jungle on his All-fottrs; bttt when he saw our party he erected himself and looked us boldly in the faoe. He stood about a dozen yards from ua, and was A sight I think never to forget. Nearly six feet high (he proved four inches shorter), with immense body, huge chest, and great muscular arms, with fiercely-glaring Targe deep grey eyes, and a hellish expression of face, which seemed to me like some nightmare vision : thus stood before us the king of the African forests.

I He «u not afraid of us. He stood there, and beat his breast with his hnge fists till it resounded like an immense base drum, which is their mode of offering defiance; meantime giving vent to roar after roar. The roar of the gorilla is the moat singular and awful noise heard in these Africatl woods. It begins with a sharp bark, like au angry dog, then glides into a deep baso roll, which literally and olosely resembles the roll of distant thunder along the sty; for which I hare sometimes been tempted to take it where I did not see the animal. So deep is it that it seems to proceed less from the mouth and throat than from the deep chest and vast paunch. Bis eyes began to flash fiercer fire as Wri stood motionless on the defensive, and the crest of short hair which stands on his fore* head began to twitch rapidly up and down, while his powerful fhngs were shown as he again sent forth a thunderous roar. And now truly he reminded me of some hellish dream creature—a being of that hideous order, half man half beast, which we find pictured by the old artists in some representations of the infernal regions. He advanced a few steps—then stopped to Otto* that hideous roar again—advanced again, and finally stopped when at a distance of about six yards from us. And here, as he began another of his roars and beating his breast in rage, we fired and killed him. With a groan which had something terribly human in it, and yet was full of brutishness, it fell forward on its face. The body shook convulsively for a few the limbs moved about in a struggling way, and then all-Was quiet—death had done its work, and I had leisure to examine the huge body. It proved to be five feet eight inches high, and the muscular development of the arms and breast showed what immense strength It had possessed. CS. BECK. M.

Washington's Opinion of Northern 529tf In a letter of Washington to his friend Lund, in July, 1776, oocurrf the following passage, in which he most graphically describes the peculiarities of Northern and Southern men as soljliers, and gives a preference for the qualities of the Northern men, the justness of which the present campaign is likely to verify: "We have lately had a general review, and I have much pleasure in informing you that we made a better appearance, and went through our exercises more like soldiers, than I had expected. The Southern States are rash and blameable in the judgment they form of their brethren of the four New England States. I do assure you, with all my partiality for mv own countrymen, and prejudices against them, I can but consider them as the flower of the American army. They are strong, vigorous and hearty people, inured to labor and toil,' which our people seldom are; and though our hot and eager spirits may suit better in a sudden and desperate enterprise, yet, in the way in which wars are now earned on, you must look for permanent advantages only from that patient and persevering temper which is the result of labor. The New Englandera are cool, considerate and sensible whilst we are fire and fury. Like their olimate, they maintain an equal temperature, whereas we cannot shine but we burn. They have a uniformity and stability of character to which the people of no other have any pretensions; hence they must and will always preserve their influence in this great empire. Were it not for the drawbaoks and disadvantages which the influence of their popular opinions on the subjeot of government have on their army, they soon might, and probably will, give law to it." Soldiers. Pittston, Dec. 13. 1880, "Then, when the day comes for yon to start, she vows that she will 4 never speak to you again if you persist in going.' Then, when you take a paper out of your pocket and pretend to read a furlough from the commandant, excusing you, and giving you leave to stay at home, she throws her apron over her head, sits down on the floor, and bowls aloud, 'to think that ahe should have a coward for a husband'—'that her husband nhoujd be afraid to go to the wars.' And then, when you tell her that it's all a mistake, and that you are going after all, she howls louder than ever, because she 'knows you will be killed,' or she feels it in her bones that you'll come home with two wooden legs, and then how can you take her to the Academy on opera nights f Then sho resorts in turn to every one of the immense list of female tactics to keep you at home—she weeps, she banters, she pokes fun at you—she wishes she was a man— she gets mad—she sulks—she threatens to go home to her mother—she coaxes—She 'won't ever live with you another day'— she soolds, she entreats, and, as a last resort, she faints—in this case she always falls into your arms, if you make an offer to catch her; if you don't offer, and if it's early in the morning, and she hasn't made her bed yet, she'll fall on the bed ; but if the bed is made up nicely, she'll fall on the carpet so as not to muss the bed ; it the fainting dodge don't work, and you still are resolved to go, she vows she 'hates yon and that she'll never speak to you again,' and then, to prove the bitterness of her bate she goes off and packs your haversack full of all the dainties and delicacies of the season ; then, after all, at the Ifery last moment, she comes and throws ber arms around your neck, and whispers that she 'loves you best of all in the world,' and that she'll ' be ruch a good girl till you come back,' and that she'll 'take such good care of the children,' and that 'you mustn't fret about her,' and that she'll write every blessed day, and that you must write just as often as you can, and that she 'loves you best, best; best,' and a thousand little messages only for you, but all kind and loving and all told without a tear, for she doesn't cry now until you are out of the bouse; and when you are gone she weeps like a shower bath for half an hour, then suddenly stops short, wipes her eyes, and doesn't waste another tear till she sees you again. "That's the way they all do; and, talk as peacefullv as you can, she is never satisfied in her lieart till she sees you in uniform."DR. J. M.

STURMER, Terrible State of Affairs In nessee.—A citizen of East Tennessee, in a letter addressed to Senator Andrew Johnson, and dated Jamestown, Russel oo., Ky., Aug. 10, says: "I arrived at this point to-day, in company with about 240 men from Morgan, Roane, Scott, Fentress and Overton counties. We hare just decided to proceed to Camp Robinson, near Lancaster. We are out of money, and traveling on the generosity and hospitality of our Union friends of Kentucky. We left our homes by different routes, and are together at this point as it were by cbanee, "You may rest assured that the state ot things in East Tennessee is indiscribable. Many of our people, upon bare suspicion; are arrested and taken prisoners, insulted, abused, and taken into military camps,there to be disposed of as the rebel mob think proper. Squads of cavalry and infktrtty are continually scouring the country, offering our people, male and female, every indignity that these ruffian bands are capable of; destroying our crops and subsistence, without regard to the condition or circumstances of the persons; pasturing their horses in our cornfields, wasting our haystaoks, taking provisions of every description without regard to quantity, not even asking the price or tendering an equivalent therefor in any shape whatever.

"The smaller snakes feed on birds and squirrels and rats, which I am convinced, from frequent observation, they are able to charm with their look. This power of charming I had always doubted, bat was convinced by one day watching a venomous blaek snake, over four feet long, induing and catching a squirrel which sat on the lower bran oh of a tree. It was back of Obindyi's town. I had gone out to shoot birds, and my attention was attracted by the very peculiar and continued ohattering of a squirrel. When I saw it I did not know what to make of its movements. It seemed as though tied to the branch and very anxious to get away. Its head was thrust forward, its eyes fixed and glaring; bnt its body trembled, and was jerked aboat from side to side. All the time it wss screaming and ohattering in a really pitiable manner. Following the direction of its glance I saw the cause of its alarm.— The blaok snake was slowly creeping out on the limb, and as steadily kept his eyes on his victim. The whole curious process went on under my inspection for at least ten or twelve minutes, during all which time the snake seemed to fix the gaze of the squirrel upon itself The squirrel came nearer and nearer, until it reeehed the moath of the snake, which made a spring, grasped Its prey in its (south, sad quickly coiled its folds about it. "I have seen many suoh cases of oharming, both of birds snd squirrels; and sometimes firing my gun dissolved the oharm, by diverting momentarily the gaae of the snake." " j,,/.

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in the shoulder and fell to the ground. Jumping up one of our boys asked me if I was hurt f I replied that I thought not, abd drew up my musket to fire, when he said: "Yes, you arc shot right through the shoulder." I think it was this remark more than the wound, which caused the field all at once, to commence whirling around ma in a very strange manner. I started to leave it, with a naif ounce musket ball in my shoulder, and one* or twice ftli down with dininess, bat in a short time reoovered sufficiently to be able to walk baok to Springfield, nine miles, where the ball was F) BOOTS NEW ▲so O ESIDENT ttESTIST.—"A clean and 111, wholesome appearanoa of the mouth it the stromreat letter of recommendation."

Me received me courteously and invited me to go thro' the establishment with him. I had pre' viously learned that he was an officer of some note under the " grey-eyed man of destiny," in Nicaragua. Hie physiognomy and manners impressed me as anmistakably Northern; but, to make assurance doubly sure, I ventured some remark which took it for granted that he was a native of New Orleans. He disclaimed this at once, informing me that he was a Missourian, from St. Louis. When I pursued the matter a little further, by speaking of some recent improvements in that city, he replied : "I was born in St. Louis, but left there when I was about twelve months old. Philadelphia has been my home since, until I came here to take oharge of thia establishment."She Will and She Wont. Doesticks seems to be resuscitated by marriage, though too much disposed to imitate his mother-in-law. He says: "One reason why it is so difficult to please a woman ia that she seldom knows herself what ahe want*. In most eases it is as hard to satiafy a woman as it would be to content a captain who should tell you to steer his ship and wouldn't tell you whether he wanted it to go to Jersey or Japan. They wouldn't be satisfied whatever you do. Bale* for Angling. Killing a Gorilla. D CARDS. MISCELLANEOUS. An angler should possess patience and resignation, not dejected with bad, nor overelated with good look, always remembering that he cannot always be successful. He should shelter himself as much as possible from the sight of the fish; trout especially are timorous and shy, and when angling especially for that game fish, one or two trials in the same place are amply sufficient, for he will either take the nait or reject it wholly. Olothes of a glaring color ahould not be worn by the angler, as being more discernable, and consequently alarming to the aquatio tribe. Always be careful to have your tackle neat, and your bait prepared with the greatest care. The best season is from March to Ootober, and the best time of day from three until nine in the morning, and from three until sunset. The cooler winds in the hot months the better your ohanee for a catch. Always remember that fish will net bite juat before a shower of rain. After a dark, oloudy, or windy night, little spori can be expected the next day in eatohing large fiah, and eapeoially with regard to trout; for in those nights they range about to pray on the smaller kinda; but if the night anould be rendered brilliant by the shining of the moon and stars, and the day following be gloomy and overcast, much sport may be depended on; for the fish are then as timorous as on sunshiny days, and never stir from the holes, having, therefore, abstained from food all night, they have become voracious, and encouraged by the darkness and gloominess of the day, venture to range about and bite with appetite and courage. In order to learn what ground bait is to be preferred for the respective fish you mean to kill, open the stomach of the first one you take and having ascertained on what he last fed, bait accordingly. There is generally good angling in whirlpools, under bridges, at the falls of mills, or in any place where the water ia deep and clear, and in localities where it ia not usually disturbed by wind or weather.—Porter'* Spirit of the Timet. M. de Chaillu thus desoribea the killing of a gorilla: Suddenly, as we were yet creeping along, in a silence which made a heavy breath seem lodd and distinct, the woods were at once filled with the tremendous barking roar of the gorilla. Then the underbrush awayed rapidly just ahead, and presently before us stood an immense male gorilla. He had gone through the jungle on his All-fottrs; bttt when he saw our party he erected himself and looked us boldly in the faoe. He stood about a dozen yards from ua, and was A sight I think never to forget. Nearly six feet high (he proved four inches shorter), with immense body, huge chest, and great muscular arms, with fiercely-glaring Targe deep grey eyes, and a hellish expression of face, which seemed to me like some nightmare vision : thus stood before us the king of the African forests.

He stood there, and beat his breast with his hnge fists till it resounded like an immense base drum, which is their mode of offering defiance; meantime giving vent to roar after roar. The roar of the gorilla is the moat singular and awful noise heard in these Africatl woods. It begins with a sharp bark, like au angry dog, then glides into a deep baso roll, which literally and olosely resembles the roll of distant thunder along the sty; for which I hare sometimes been tempted to take it where I did not see the animal. So deep is it that it seems to proceed less from the mouth and throat than from the deep chest and vast paunch. Bis eyes began to flash fiercer fire as Wri stood motionless on the defensive, and the crest of short hair which stands on his fore* head began to twitch rapidly up and down, while his powerful fhngs were shown as he again sent forth a thunderous roar. And now truly he reminded me of some hellish dream creature—a being of that hideous order, half man half beast, which we find pictured by the old artists in some representations of the infernal regions. He advanced a few steps—then stopped to Otto* that hideous roar again—advanced again, and finally stopped when at a distance of about six yards from us. And here, as he began another of his roars and beating his breast in rage, we fired and killed him. With a groan which had something terribly human in it, and yet was full of brutishness, it fell forward on its face. The body shook convulsively for a few the limbs moved about in a struggling way, and then all-Was quiet—death had done its work, and I had leisure to examine the huge body. It proved to be five feet eight inches high, and the muscular development of the arms and breast showed what immense strength It had possessed. CS. BECK. M.

Washington's Opinion of Northern 529tf In a letter of Washington to his friend Lund, in July, 1776, oocurrf the following passage, in which he most graphically describes the peculiarities of Northern and Southern men as soljliers, and gives a preference for the qualities of the Northern men, the justness of which the present campaign is likely to verify: "We have lately had a general review, and I have much pleasure in informing you that we made a better appearance, and went through our exercises more like soldiers, than I had expected. The Southern States are rash and blameable in the judgment they form of their brethren of the four New England States. I do assure you, with all my partiality for mv own countrymen, and prejudices against them, I can but consider them as the flower of the American army. They are strong, vigorous and hearty people, inured to labor and toil,' which our people seldom are; and though our hot and eager spirits may suit better in a sudden and desperate enterprise, yet, in the way in which wars are now earned on, you must look for permanent advantages only from that patient and persevering temper which is the result of labor. The New Englandera are cool, considerate and sensible whilst we are fire and fury. Like their olimate, they maintain an equal temperature, whereas we cannot shine but we burn. They have a uniformity and stability of character to which the people of no other have any pretensions; hence they must and will always preserve their influence in this great empire. Were it not for the drawbaoks and disadvantages which the influence of their popular opinions on the subjeot of government have on their army, they soon might, and probably will, give law to it." Soldiers. Pittston, Dec. 13. 1880, "Then, when the day comes for yon to start, she vows that she will 4 never speak to you again if you persist in going.' Then, when you take a paper out of your pocket and pretend to read a furlough from the commandant, excusing you, and giving you leave to stay at home, she throws her apron over her head, sits down on the floor, and bowls aloud, 'to think that ahe should have a coward for a husband'—'that her husband nhoujd be afraid to go to the wars.' And then, when you tell her that it's all a mistake, and that you are going after all, she howls louder than ever, because she 'knows you will be killed,' or she feels it in her bones that you'll come home with two wooden legs, and then how can you take her to the Academy on opera nights f Then sho resorts in turn to every one of the immense list of female tactics to keep you at home—she weeps, she banters, she pokes fun at you—she wishes she was a man— she gets mad—she sulks—she threatens to go home to her mother—she coaxes—She 'won't ever live with you another day'— she soolds, she entreats, and, as a last resort, she faints—in this case she always falls into your arms, if you make an offer to catch her; if you don't offer, and if it's early in the morning, and she hasn't made her bed yet, she'll fall on the bed ; but if the bed is made up nicely, she'll fall on the carpet so as not to muss the bed ; it the fainting dodge don't work, and you still are resolved to go, she vows she 'hates yon and that she'll never speak to you again,' and then, to prove the bitterness of her bate she goes off and packs your haversack full of all the dainties and delicacies of the season ; then, after all, at the Ifery last moment, she comes and throws ber arms around your neck, and whispers that she 'loves you best of all in the world,' and that she'll ' be ruch a good girl till you come back,' and that she'll 'take such good care of the children,' and that 'you mustn't fret about her,' and that she'll write every blessed day, and that you must write just as often as you can, and that she 'loves you best, best; best,' and a thousand little messages only for you, but all kind and loving and all told without a tear, for she doesn't cry now until you are out of the bouse; and when you are gone she weeps like a shower bath for half an hour, then suddenly stops short, wipes her eyes, and doesn't waste another tear till she sees you again.

"The smaller snakes feed on birds and squirrels and rats, which I am convinced, from frequent observation, they are able to charm with their look. This power of charming I had always doubted, bat was convinced by one day watching a venomous blaek snake, over four feet long, induing and catching a squirrel which sat on the lower bran oh of a tree. It was back of Obindyi's town. I had gone out to shoot birds, and my attention was attracted by the very peculiar and continued ohattering of a squirrel. When I saw it I did not know what to make of its movements. It seemed as though tied to the branch and very anxious to get away. Its head was thrust forward, its eyes fixed and glaring; bnt its body trembled, and was jerked aboat from side to side. All the time it wss screaming and ohattering in a really pitiable manner. Following the direction of its glance I saw the cause of its alarm.— The blaok snake was slowly creeping out on the limb, and as steadily kept his eyes on his victim. The whole curious process went on under my inspection for at least ten or twelve minutes, during all which time the snake seemed to fix the gaze of the squirrel upon itself The squirrel came nearer and nearer, until it reeehed the moath of the snake, which made a spring, grasped Its prey in its (south, sad quickly coiled its folds about it. "I have seen many suoh cases of oharming, both of birds snd squirrels; and sometimes firing my gun dissolved the oharm, by diverting momentarily the gaae of the snake." " j,,/.

"But, my dear son," said the matterof-fao* mother, "you havn only known her * fortnight; let me reoommmd that you see more of her before you deeide."

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in the shoulder and fell to the ground. Jumping up one of our boys asked me if I was hurt f I replied that I thought not, abd drew up my musket to fire, when he said: "Yes, you arc shot right through the shoulder." I think it was this remark more than the wound, which caused the field all at once, to commence whirling around ma in a very strange manner. I started to leave it, with a naif ounce musket ball in my shoulder, and one* or twice ftli down with dininess, bat in a short time reoovered sufficiently to be able to walk baok to Springfield, nine miles, where the ball was F) BOOTS NEW ▲so O ESIDENT ttESTIST.—"A clean and 111, wholesome appearanoa of the mouth it the stromreat letter of recommendation."
