The "Kate" was as clean as a new pin officers and men dressed for com pany, and Captain Tom, with the easy courtesy of a man of t he world, quick ly made every individual on board feel as if lie, she and it were his own per sonal guests. No man knows how to plant and reap blessings better than Tom Oakey. The fine band of the second West India Regimentall blacks was on board, and added to the zest of the occasion ith music that would not be discreditable in the Tacon Theatre or Hyde Park. I ought to tell you, by the way, that this regi ment is composed entirely of negroes, every one of whom is !a picked man, six feet in height, and when they ap pear on parade, dressed in their zou- ;; ave uniform, and drilled so that they j! mov like a vast machine, there is not a more striking spectacle on a small I scale to be seen on tins mundane sphere. The officers are all white, and, as a gen eral thing, educated. v After steaming around for three or four hours we ran up to the eastward I and came to an anchor. The awn- I ! ings were spread and the deuks clear- i ed for a dinner.

The custom house officer detached to attend us, was as bleck as your hat, but, nevertheless, a courteous and intelligent official. Oakey had indus triously cultivated this feilo.w's ac quaintance, and he was so completely magnetized by the peculiar manipula tions of the old blockade runner, that he never saw anything which was not proper to be seen, except twenty dol lar gold pieces or a bottle of wine, and for all Confederate purposes was as blind as an owl in the sunlight. The arms and accoutrements were packed in boxes and marked "Hard ware," and in all probability the cus tom house official aforesaid, is to the present day, prepared to swear tho most horrible oath that they contained in truth only legitimate spades and and shovels, manufactured in Spring- I, held, Massacnusetts.

JN one knew better than Captain' Oakey that perhaps the Confederate success, iu the daily expected battle of Shiloh depended on the safe transit and de- livery of these arms, and no man i could possibly feel the responsibility j of the hour mere gravely than himself, for before our departure, letter upon letter had been sent to Charleston ; from both Seers of the army and of I the government, begging us by every j eousmerauGU to ioiwaru incju wiiu ... .1. a . f. .1,1 .

The last wrords were grandly emphatic, accompanied with a stroke on Tom's back, which the old salt doubtless intended-to be particularly fraternal, but which Tom avers, to this day, was very much like the descending stroke of a spile drive? and always gives him a rheumatic ?pWxomink about. Three or four more drinks did the business, by which time Tom was safe from all fears of inspection. Between the Otard on the one hand and the necessary official dignity to be observed on the other, the old Briton, as he leaned lovingly on Tom's arm in the passage from the cabin to j the ship's ladder, found it exceedingly dimcntt to maintain his specific gravity. As he rolled over the side, his parting words were, 'Her Majesty's officer after 'ardware hie, 'ardware. Ha! ha! good joke, sir, by Jove, hie ; God It 1 .

When last seen the worthy captain was stretched out in the stern sheets of his cutter, snor ing an unconscious accompaniment to 'When the swallows homeward flv.' We had now only to finish loading, get our clearance from the custom house, and turn our bow homeward. The 'Kate,' although a trim and beau tiful boat, was not the fastest of our blockade runners;"" but fortunately we were not put to a trial of speed on the return trip. Our cargo being too im portant to warrant the ordinary risks incurred in running the blockade of Charleston or WiTmincrlon, Captain .Oakey determined to land at Smyrna, on the coast of Florida, which was safely done. The Confederate author- itles, duly advised of our arrival, then took the cargo in hand, ard in the course of ten or fifteen days the arms and ammunition were on their way, 1 1 3 in nuuuieus of waon: , across the railroad that country to the nearest would convev tfao lontr expected aid to the army of the Wesf.

We copy the folloving from a recent artiele in Blaekicood It cannot be asserted by the sever est moralist that the ballet, though it pdTtakes of the character of a pagan festival, is of necessity indecent or im modest, and that it may not be made the source of much innocent and re fined enjoyment.

In spite, however, of objections, good natured and otherwise thotballet has continued to grow in popularity, and the skirts of the dan cers to grow less ; and such entertain ments have spread from the Italian opera houses to the great, and after ward to the minor theatres, and finally have invaded and taken possession of the music balls. Bailey's lovely statue of "Eve at the Fountain," in which there is not the slightest pretence of drapery or con cealment of the divine form, fresh "from t&3 hands of the Creator, is puri ty itself; and anyone who sees im purity in it has the iu purity in his own heart. In the same manner, there is no indelicacy in the display of the pretty bafe legs of little maidens of from four to five years old, or in the bare feet and anklea of the bonny Scotch lasses, innocent alike of shoes and stockings and of evil intent, though there would he indecency in the dis play cf a naked leg and foot in the streets of London or Edinburgh, by full grown damsels, who made the display for a meretricious purpose: There are statues and statuettes to be seen all over Europe in which nudity is as complete as it is beautiful ; but when such statues or statuettes or imi tated by purveyors of obscenity, and crowned wdth a niodoern bonnet, wrapped in a modern shawl, and en cased in modern stockings, and noth ing else, their vile intention becomes apparent, and they fall properly under the cognizance of the police. The display is not indecent per se, as when an actress of high attainments and genius, in default of an actor of truthfulness and talent enough to un dertake th e part, appears, as Romeo : any more than it is indelicate or im- j proper for a man to hide the form by appearing in petticoats to play the part of one of the witches of 'Macbeth.' The intention is everything, just as is in killing. If yon intend to kill, you arc a murderer, and deserve the mur derer's fate.

"In dancing," says j Sir Richard Steele, "all the charms of1 an agreeable person are in their high- est exercise; even' limb and feature appeuis wun us renective grace. As aU art is an imitation of nature so this is an imitation of nature in its highest excellence. The business of dancing is to display beauty, and for that reason all cfrstortation and mimi cries, as such, are what raise aversion instead of pleasure. The dancers r ii . n ... ? J faculty in this kind, and what they mean by writhing themselves into b-cu postures as it would be a pain for any one of the spectators to stand a pain in, ana yet hope to please those spec tators, is unintelligible." And it is in this respect that reform is, in our day, still more needful than it was in the days when Addison and Steele were the arbiters of taste and the high priests of criticism. The agent for the office in which we are insured says a married man should insure his life for many reasons.

Since the remarks of 'Ben Radical' about raising sweet potatoes Without barnyard manure, we have looked into the matter somewhat, and find that it has becn done, and without encouraging results. Mr. Wm. D. Frost tried it on a small scale last year and the result was such that he has determined to trv an acre on the same plan this year. "lie used muck that T , , J.u . . , , had becn thoroughly pulverized bv Au i j gurao. lie wcighcu tbe guano used and put half a cent's worth in each hill mixed with about a quart of muck. The potatoes raised on this compost were set ten days later than those raised on barn-yard manure, but when dug, they yielded several pounds more to the hill than the others, although the yard manure cost very nearly three times as much, or a cent and a half to the hill. Had the potatoes been set at the same time, the differ ence in favor of the compost would undoubtedly have been much greater. For the acre he proposes to raise this year, Mr. Frost has two cords of muck that has been exposed to the action Of the frost till it is well pulverized. With that he will compost two bags ior a little over 330 pounds of peruvian guano, by spreading a layer of muck and then a layer of guano. He will make this compost under cover of course. Exposure to rain would ren der it worthless. Of this compest he will use about one quart to the hill. We have been thus minute with the description for the benefit of those who may wish to try the same manure for sweet potatosc. It is much cheap- er than yard manure. If it answers as good a purpose as it really seems to do, it will be very important Haminouton. Hammontou Bepu to ubli- can. Medical Properties of Celery.
