^‘Situations Wantt.d—Females ”—Under this
caption the New York Herald, of a recent date,
contains four columns and a half of advertisements
for situations, wanted hy all sorts of white females
lor all sorts of service. Quite a number of the
applicants announce themselves as “respectable
young girls,” while other use such descriptive
phrases, as “steady and competent,” “neat aud
tidy,” 0*c. The majority desire to be employed as
“chambermaids,” or “waitress,” but quite a num
ber are willing to engage in almost any uieniul
employment. A ‘‘eery respectable girl” adver
tises for a “situation as cook, wa.sher and ironer, ’
and gives the assurance that she is “■soltr anJ
cleanly.” A “young American widow, of goud
address, desires a situation as housekeeper; no ob
jection to leave the city.” In the whole numbei'
of advertisements, thore are only two in which
the term “lady” is self applied. They are as lol-
lows:
“A young lady, writing a rapid busine.«s lian'i,
has a thorough knowledge of book-keepitifj; bum
by single and doyble entry, also, of the i iL-
bon and embroidery trade, wishes a situation -
saleswomen, cashier, book-keeper, or would take
charge of a reception room and set of books ot a
photograph gallery. Best of references given.
Address, etc.”
“A lady, recently arrived from New Orlean.-^
is desirous of procuring a situation as singer in
a Catholic church, in this city; has a mezzo-eo-
prano voice, and is a perfect musician: the best
of reference can be given in this city. Addrct?

.In In&tance of'Yankee Ifumanitj/mntJasftcc .
—A large number ot the (’onfederate citizen pri
soners who arrived at City Point by flag of ti uco
steamer, a few evenings ago, reached this city on
yesterday, and obtained transportation to their re
spective homes. Among them was a citizen of
Western \"irginia and his two sons, aged respec
tively eleven and nine years. The little f- llows
had been seized together with their father and car
ried to a Northern prison, compelled to share with
him his privations and confinement, aud when
brought to City Point, instead of discharging them
as children, the Yankee commissioner refused to
give them up utile.s.s regularly exchanged for a
United States citizen. This was done being tbe
only practicable resort Comment is unncessary

Veiitrifoquis7ii.—-LaHt night T called on Col.
Scott, of the Louisiana cavalry. Yoii have often
heard of him in Western campaigns. Wliile in
Kentucky, his negro boy, who has followed him
since the war began, disrobed a dead Yankee, and
assumed the garb of a Federal sergeant. While
on hia way to Richmond, a ventriloquist learned
the story connected with the negro’s apparel.
After nightfall, when the negro was nodding with
a valise between his feet, a deep-toned voice pro
ceeded from it:
Voice—I say, Sam, wake up; them’s my clothes
you’re got on.
Sam—who’s dat?
(The Colonel says that Sam’s eye-bull'* pr»tni
ded a foot when the carpet sack be::an the ollo-
quy.)
Voice—I’m Ichabod Smith, of the l.'ith C^n-
neticut, killed at Lexington, Kentucky, i ou
robbed me of my clothes.
Sam—Fore God, m.t^sa Yankee, I (fidu’t spec
you’d want ’em no more.
Voice—Off ’em, d—n you.
In lees ^ minute Sam shucked him«elf.
There be ntood in the dreless car, on a cold win
ter night- His teeth chattering, his napped wool
straightened, his eyes rolling about in the agony
of hopeless terror. Never since ha.? .Sam touch
