BLOOD-LETTING IN CASES OF SUICIDE.—The cases of
individuals who were insane at the moment when the act of
self-destruction was attempted, but who recovered the use
of their reasoning, after having inflicted a wound attended
with loss of blood, fully testify the importance of general
and local depletion in certain cases of central disease, attended
by this unfortunate propensity. It will not, in all cases, he
proper to abstract blood ; for the great disposition to suicide
has been known to exist where there was a deficiency of
blood in the brain. The practitioner should examine the

condition of the patient thoroughly before he recommends
active depletion. Sixty per cent. of the cases of suicide will,
however, be found with central disease, either of a primary
or a secondary nature ; and to the condition of the brain
the medical man's attention should be particularly directed.—
Anatomy of Suicide.

LEGISLATIVE ELOQUENCE.—The following report of a
speech made before the Tennessee legislature by Col. J. M.
H—, a representative from Knox county, is said to be
strictly accurate :—" Fellow Citizens, I didn't come here to
make a speech at this time, but only just to extinguish my-
self as a candidate. Gentlemen, lam the floating candidate
for the superfluous district, and I only want to make a few
remarks at this time. A good many of you, gentlemen, has

never seen me before, and I merely wailt to state my views
upon the question to be agitated. Gentlemen, I was horn
in the county of Sullivan, and Focht up in Knox, without
pearantage, and if it hadn't been for the goodness of God and
several other gentlemen, who tuk me when but an orphan
boy, at 21 years of age, gin The an education, I might have
been as ignorant as the common people, or you, gentlemen.
Gentlemen, my father was a patriach of the revolution, and
lam a patriach. Gentlemen, my father stained the walls of
America with his blood, and when Gen. Jackson killed the
injuns at Orleans, I waded up to my knees in mud. Gentle-
men, I am opposed to Nullification. Gentlemen, I would
rather be a allipot slave than for to be a Nullifier. Gentle-
men, I hain t got time to give you my views now, and I will

call upon you again in a few days ; but, gentlemen, there is
a sort of_ Big Bugs who are tryin to put me down ; but, gen-

tlemen, I defy 'el, gentlemen. I hope to be delivered out

. -
of the hands of enemies as Moses was delivered out of the
hands of the bulrushes! Gentlemen, come over across the

square, and take something, and we'll get better acquainted."
GETTING INTO A MEss.—l say, Power, what a bad style
of dress they've got into latterly, with their tight waists and
strapped trousers—nothing free, nothing easy, nothing degage
about it. When in a campaign, a man ought to be able to
stow prog for twenty-four hours about his person, and no one
the wiser. A very good rule, I assure you, though some-
times it leads to awkward results. At Vimiera, I got into a
sad scrape that way. Old Sir Harry, that commanded there,
sent for a sick return. I was at dinner when the orderly
came ; so I packed up the eatables about me, and rode off.

. .
m
Just, however, as 1 came up to my quarters, y horse turn-
bled, and threw me slap upon my head. "Is he killed ? "
said Sir Harry. " Only stunned, your excellency," said

some one. " Then he'll come to, I suppose—look for the
papers in his pocket." So they turned me on my back, and
plunged a hand into my side pocket ; but the devil take it,
they pulled out a roast hen. Well, the laugh was scarcely
over at this, when another fellow dived in my coat behind,
and lugged out three sausages ; and so they went on, till the
ground was covered with ham, pigeon pie, veal kidney, and
potatoes ; and the only thing like a paper was a mess roll of
the 4th, with a droll song about Sir Harry, written in pencil
on the back of it. Devil of a bad affair for me ; I was nearly

broke for it ; but they only reprimanded me a little ; and
was attached to the victualling department.—Charles O'Mal-
ley.

Those who are inclined to wonder how the immense stones
of which Druidical and other monuments of remote antiquity
are constructed could have been taken from their original
situations and placed in their present positions, may have
their surprise considerably qualified by witnessing the tran-
sporting, by limited and ordinary means, of the huge masses
of oolite, which are now being almost every day brought down
Widcombe hill, from the quarries on Claverton Down, for
the construction of the works connected with the Great
Western Railway. We saw the other day, near Widcombe
Crescent, a number of persons assembled round a waggon,
and on drawing near to ascertain the object of their curiosity,
we found that they were gazing on a Brobdignagian mono-
lithe, fifteen feet long, four feet thick, and weighing not
much short of ten tons. It was dragged down the hill by
seven horses. The road to Claverton Down has, during the
last year, been subjected to so much wear and tear by the
waggons carrying stone for the railway, that some months
since a turnpike bar was placed at the top of the hill, for the
especial benefit of the persons engaged in these extraordinary
haulages.—Bath Chronicle.
AN IRISH NOTION OF PHYSIC.—" Well, Mike, I'll speak
to some of my friends here about you, and we'll settle it all
properly : here's the Doctor." " Arrah, Mister Charles,
don't mind him ; he's a poor crayture entirely ; never a thing
he knows." " Why, what do you mean, man ? he's phy-
sician to the forces." " Oh, by gorra, and so he may be,"
said Mike, with a toss of his head ' • " those army docthors
isn't worth their salt. It's truth I'm telling you : sure,
didn't he come to see me when I was sick below in the hould."
" How do you feel," says he. " Terrible dliry in the mouth,"
says I. " But your bones," says he, " how's them ?" "As
if cripples were kicking me," says I. " Well, with that lie
wint away, and brought back two powders." " Take them,"
says he, •‘ and you'll he cured in no time." " What's
them ?" says I. " There ematics," says he. " Turf and
ages," says I, " are they ?" " Sorra a lie," says he ; " take
them immediately." " And I tuk them—and would you be-
lieve me, Mister Charles ? it's truth I'm telling you—deuce
a one of them would stay on my stomach. So you see what
a docthor he is."—Charles O'Malley. '
THE GOLDEN PIPPIN.—The golden pippin in itvfaas oe
Sussex, and is said to have been first reared at Parham-park,
which is situated on the north side of the South Devon. The
Dutch acknowledge it to be an English apple in their cata-
logue of fruits, where it is called the " Engelsche ground Pip-
ping." The French call it " Pippin d'Or," which is a tran-
slation of the English name. Catherine, Empress of Russia,
was so fond of this apple, that she was regularly supplied with
it from England ; and in order that she might have it in the
greatest perfection, every apple was separately enveloped in
silver paper before it was packed.
STATISTICS OF ARTIFICIAL INCUBATION.—Above 30,000

birds, chiefly the common fowl, have been hatched by the
eccaleobion during the two years it has been before the pub-
lic. The eggs used have exceeded 40,000, being a failure of
about one-fourth. This is not owing to any defect in the

machinery, or its application, but to Want or impregnation,
staleness, or jolting of the eggs in conveyance to and from
the market. The greatest number of failures are from eggs
laid during the moulting season, when the ill condition of
the birds renders many of them unproductive. Most of the

birds are reared, and fatten well, the average loss being less
than in the farmyard.

ORIENTAL NOTIONS OF JUSTICE.—Of oriental notions of
justice, says Dr. Bowring, the following conversation, which
took place between a Mussulman governor and an English
traveller, will give a characteristic idea :—Governor : Is it
true that you in England send your thieves and rogues to a
distant country ? Traveller : Yes.—Governor : And what
may be the cost of sending each ? Traveller : Perhaps one
hundred pounds sterling, or ten thousand piastres.—Gover-
nor : And what is the cost of a sabre ? Traveller : About
£lO, or 1000 piastres.—Governor : What is the cost of a
hempen rope ? Traveller : Almost nothing.—Governor :
And you call yourselves a civilized and an instructed people ;
you who can get a sabre for 1000 piastres, and a rope for al-
most nothing. A sabre that would behead many rogues, and
a rope that would hang many thieves—and who pay 10,000
piastres to get rid of one. This is your civilization !

THE LATE SUICIDE OF MR. GEORGE ELLIS INMAN.—
This gentleman, who suddenly put a period to his existence
on Saturday night last, has been for some time a contributor
to various periodicals, and was the author of several popular
ballads and numerous poetical effusions. For the last year
he had been occasionally subject to fits of mental suffering
and excitement, induced by over-study and the injudicious
nee of physical stimulants. In 1837, a medal was awarded
by the Melodists' Club for the words of a song entitled
" The Days of Yore," which were set to music by John
Parry, Jun., and gained the prize of the value of ten guineas
in 1838. He was also the writer of the national song, " St.
George's Flag of England," composed by Mr. Blewitt, to
whom the same club awarded its prize of fifteen guineas on
the 25th June last. Mr. Inman also wrote the song " Sweet
Mary mine " (composed by J. Parry, Jun.,) which Madame
Stockhausen and Miss Birch rendered so popular last sea-
son.—Standard.
HINTS TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—The following six
rules are worthy the attention of all persons travelling by
railway :-1. Never travel by night. 2. Occupy the centre
seat in the centre division of the centre carriage of the train.
The motion is less : you cannot thrust your arms or head
out of the window : the majority of travellers choose the seat
next the window ; it is consequently an even chance you can
rest your legs on the seat opposite : if the carriage is upset,
you are not so liable to be cut by the glass, and it is not quite
certain you will be " literally smashed to pieces." 3. Al-
ways compel the porters to place your luggage on the roof of
the carriage that contains you : any small parcel under your
seat : if active, you will be able to keep possession of your
own on arrival at your destination. N.B. Take away no lug-
gage but your own. 4. Never go by the first morning train.
If any obstruction, or if any embankment has been washed
away in the night, this is the train to discover such malheur.
5. Always select the fast trains—the word " fast" only sig-
nifying better conducted, and that you stop four instead of
fourteen times between London and Birmingham 6. Avoid
the society of old nurses and their accompaniments as you
would the plague.
CHINESE GOVERNMENT.—Among the Chinese, eminent
learning is attained only by great application and perseve-
rance. The first years at school are spent in committing the
canonical books to memory ; another six years are required
to supply the students with phrases for a good style ; and an
additional number of years spent in incessant toil are needed
to ensure success. Long before the break of day, the Chinese
student may be heard chaunting the sacred books, and till
late at night the same task is continued. Of one man it is
related that he tied his hair to a beam of the house, in order
to prevent his nodding to sleep. Another, more resolute,
was in the habit of driving an awl into his thigh when inclined
to slumber. One poor lad suspended his book to the horns
of the buffalo, that he might learn while following the plough ;
and another bored a hole in the wainscot of his cottage, that
he might steal a glimpse of his neighbour's light. They tell
of one, who, fearing the task assigned him was too hard,
gave up his book in despair, and was returning to a manual
employment, when he saw an old woman rubbing a crow-bar
on a stone. He asked her the reason ; she replied that she
was just in want of a needle, and thought she would rub
down the crow-bar till she got it small enough. The pa-
tience of the aged female provoked him to make another
attempt, and he succeeded in attaining to the rank of emi-
nence in the empire.—llledluirst's China.
COLOURING MARBLE.—The act of colouring marbles, so
as to give them the richest and most beautiful tints, has been
recently carried to great perfection in Italy, by M. Ciceri.
A solution of nitrate of silver penetrates into the marble, and
produces a deep colour. A solution of nitrate of gold pene-
trates about the 12th part of an inch ; it gives a beautiful
violet purple. A solution of verdigris gives a clear green ;
solutions of dragon's blood likewise penetrate marble, giving
it a beautiful red. It is penetrated to a considerable thick-
ness, by all alcoholic tinctures of colouring woods, such as
Brazil-wood, Campeachy, &c. The alcoholic tincture of
cochineal, mixed with a little alum, produces a very beauti-
ful bright colour, which penetrates far into the marble, and
makes it resemble the red marble of Africa. Orpiment dis-
solved in ammonia quickly dyes marble a yellow colour,
which becomes more vivid the longer it is exposed to the
air. The solvent which causes the colouring matter to pene-
trate farthest into the marble, is wax. Verdigris, which has
been boiled in wax, and applied to marble quite hot, pene-
trates to the extent of nearly half an inch, and produces a
fine emerald.
DURABILITY OF MODERN BUILDINGS.—It is well known
that the dilapidated state of many stone buildings and erec-
tions, even of modern structure, led to the appointment of a
commission to ascertain the best kind of building stone to
be used in the erection of the new Houses of Parliament.
After an examination of a great many quarries and build-
ings, it was ultimately resolved to employ that stone which
was used in the erection of the Collegiate Church of South-
well, in Nottinghamshire, which is in a remarkably fine state
of preservation. Many of the buildings in the metropolis
are memorable instances of the folly of using perishable stone,
which is chiefly owing to its having been excavated from the
top of the quarry, where it is generally of a very porous na-
ture. Of this Blackfriars and Westminster bridges are no-
torious instances, from the great periodical expense of
repairs. The restorations of Henry the Eighth's chapel, at
Westminster, only just finished, are already crumbling
away ; part of the columns of the park lodges, near the
Regent's Park, in Langham-place, are fretting away, and the
ower of the same church is flawed in many places.

An appeal was made to the Commissioners at Swindon a
few days since, against the tax upon a dog, on the ground
that the animal was deaf and dumb!

A DINNER AT CAI3BUL.—A repast, the best I saw at
Caubul, followed ; an ewer and basin of silver was presented
to every guest, who received from it a little water in his right
hand ; white cloths were spread upon the ground, and upon
these, before every five or six persons, were placed shallow
wooden trays, containing the choicest specimen of Caubul
cookery. A huge pilau of boiled rice, under which were
buried shoulders and ribs of mutton, over-roasted, dry, and
insipid, was heaped upon a large and valuable china saucer,
which was placed in the centre of every tray. This pilau was
not equal in appearance or taste to the pilau of Persia. Around
it, in smaller saucers, were broken portions of mutton and
chicken, roasted, boiled, or stewed up with eggs and spinach ;
a few preparations of milk and rice of different colours—some
sweet, others acidulated ; these mainly completed the dinner.
The only dish that I had ever seen before at a similar party
was composed of a stewed quail. Afterwards warm water
was again handed to the guests, who sat with bared wrists,
and their hands en carta, till their turn for ablution arrived.
They finished by stroking down their beards and growling
out a Mussulman grace. They sat for some time afterwards
with the utmost complacency, evincing the greatest satisfac-
tion at the good dinner they had eaten.—A Personal Narra-
tive of a Visit to Ghu:ni, Caubul, and Afghanistan.
A TRAVELLING PARTY IN CIRCASSIA.—Our cavalcade
which issued from the yard of our kodag amidst the cries of
" Ogmaf!" " ogmaf !" (farewell ! farewell!) from the assem-
bled neighbourhood, presented a train as motley and pic-
turesque almost as that of the pilgrims to Canterbury. Fore-
most of all, borne by my Greek, whom I had constituted my
beiraktar, or standard-bearer, fluttered in the morning breeze
the white arrows and stars on the field of green silk, already
familiar, I presume, to the English public, as a national ban-
ner of Circassia. The standard-bearer himself, with his
dashing dress of the islands ; the embroidered jacket and re-
dundant trousers ; his gallant bearing and military glee at
finding himself once more on a war-saddle, formed no con-
' temptible figure-head to the procession. After him came
Alcide Bey (the metamorphosed writer of these volumes),
having Islam Gleri Indar Oglou on his right, and his rogue
of a hadji on his left. The former with his bow, quiver, and
costume, the gentle and dignified demeanour I have already
described ; the latter jogging along in the high turban, antery,
and shalvar of the Turk, as fidgety and talkative as my other
companion was grave and sedate. As for myself, the dress
I wore was like my sentiments, at that time in a state of tran-
sition ; nor had I yet renounced my European surtout, or all
my European prejudices. The costume of the rest of my
train, composed of my servants and escort, exhibited much
the same variety.—Longworth's Year among the Circassian:.
THE LATE PRINCESS AUGUSTA.—The following anec-
dote of her royal highness is related in the Britannia :—A few
years back her royal highness paid a visit to the ruins of Pe-
vensey Castle. She entered into familiar conversation with
the aged female whose province it is to point out the more
remarkable features of the scene to occasional visitors. After
some interval the princess took a seat on a camp stool and
continued for a considerable time to sketch the surrounding
objects. When she had completed her task she asked her
aged cicerone to procure some boiling water, and partook of
tea with her attendants. During the whole time the princess
occasionally directed her converation to the female already
mentioned, and that with such a perfect absence of everything
approaching to supercilious pretension, that the woman re-
mained in entire ignorance of the quality of her guests, until
the parting liberality of the princess upon a scale to which the
receiver of her bounty was but little accustomed, induced her
to make inquiries, which led to a recognition of the rank of
her illustrious guest.

MONEY OF THE COMMONWEALTA.—The commonwealth
struck money during the lifetime of the king (Charles I.),
with his name and titles ; but after his death new dies were
ordered to be made by Thomas Simon. These coins are dis-
tinguished from all others in the English series. The types
furnished the cavaliers with a subject for much joke and ri-
baldry. The double shield on the reverse was called " the
breeches for the rump." In allusion to the legends, God and
the commonwealth were said to be on opposite sides. A wag
launched the following epigram at them :
" May their success like to their coin appear,
Send double crosses for their single cheer."
The witty Fuller says, " I hope hereafter, when the question
is asked of our coiners, whose image and superscription is
this? it will be returned " the Caesar's of England!' "--
Akerman's Numismatic Manual.
HAT HUNT.—One of the best hat-hunts we recollect ever
to have seen occurred last winter on the Mound at Edin-
burgh ; an excellent place, by the way, for seeing sport of
this kind; for the wind rushing through the gullet on its
western side, and straightened in its course by the Castle
rock, sweeps it with the violence of the tornado. Circum-
stances were eminently favourable : the wind was high, the
gentleman fat, and the hat an uncommonly spirited one. On
first starting from his head, it careered directly against the
wall on the east side, which it struck with a crack and a re-
bound that left no doubt on the minds of its beholders of its
crown being shattered. For a moment the hat seemed
stunned by the blow, and lay quietly on the footpath. De-
ceived by its acquiescence, its owner approached it with a
smile, and was about to grasp it, when (as hats always do in
such circumstances) off it started, and away down the Mound,
in a style that called forth the rapturous admiration of the
bystanders, who expressed their feelings by sundry shouts of
exultation. On starting on its new career, the hat made di-
rectly for some iron railings, and every one thought that
there the chase must end ; but on approaching within a few
yards, it suddenly took a westerly direction, skimmed along
parallel to the rails until it had cleared the obstruction, when
off at a tangent it went down the opening on the west side;
the gentleman still pursuing, but becoming evidently much
blown. Having reached Prince's-street, the hat took along
that street in a lateral direction, and ended by crossing the
flag-stone, and coming slap against the window of an area
or sunk shop, shivering a four-and-sixpenny pane to atoms.
Here it lay down quite exhausted ; it could do no more, but
it had done well; and here it was picked up by its breathless
owner, in what condition we leave the reader to judge—the
day being a very wet one, and the streets being consequently
very dirty. It was altogether one of the finest things of the
kind we ever saw ; the general effect of the scene being
greatly improved by the attendance on the bald-headed gen-
tleman, the pursuer, of a highly excited and greatly-delighted
mob, who cheered him and the hat alternately with great
vigour and cordiality. The finale, too, let us remark, was
something quite new ; the smashing of the glass was like the
finish of some splendid affair.—London Saturday josol'al:
THE ELIZABETH RITTF.—The best known and most
dis-
tinguishing characteristic of the costume of Elizabeth's dal
was the ruff, which was worn of such enormous size that a
lady in full dress was obliged to feed herself with a spoon ts 9
feet long. In the year 1580 sumptuary laws were publishet
by proclamation, and enforced with great exactness, by
wide"
the ruffs were reduced to legal dimensions. Extravagant
prices were paid for them, and they were made at first of fine
holland ; but early in Elizabeth's reign they began to wear
lawn and cambric, which were brought to England in veil
small quantities, and sold charily by the yard or half yard;
for there was then hardly one shopkeeper in fifty who dared
to speculate in a whole piece of either. "So strange and
wonderful was this stuff," says Stowe, speaking of lawn,
" that thereupon rose a general scoff or byword that shortly
they would wear ruffs of a spider's web."—The Art of Nee-
dlework, by the Countess of Wilton.

THE LATE JAMES SMlTH.—Having met at a dinner party
the late Mr. Strachan, the king's printer, then suffering from
gout and old age, though his intellectual faculties remained
unimpaired, he sent him next morning the following JO
d'esprit

" Your lower limbs seem'd far from stout
When last I saw you walk ;
The cause I presently found out
When you began to talk.
The power that props the body's length,
In due proportion spread,
In you mounts upwards, and the strength
All settles in the head."
This compliment proved so highly acceptable to the old gen-
tleman, that he made an immediate codicil to his will, 11,
which he bequeathed to the writer the sum of three hundred
pounds ! Since the days of Sannazarius, it may be question-
ed whether any bard has been more liberally remunerated for
an equal number of lines.—Memoirs of the late James Smith'
COMFORTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES FAVOUR FORESIGTIT.'"
It is a most remarkable fact, totally at variance with whit!
might a priori be expected, but confirmed by the universal
experience of mankind, that the dominion of reason over the
passions, the habit of foresight, and the power of forming $
systematic plan for the conduct of life are just in proportion
to the degree in which the danger of immediate want or the
pressure of actual suffering hare been removedfrom mankind.
The savage who has no stock whatever for his support-140
is in danger of immediate starvation, if his wonted supplies
from the chase or his herds were to fail—is totally regardless
of the future in every part of the world ; while the rich maw
whose subsistence and affluence are almost beyond the reach
of chance, is incessantly disquieted about the manner in which
his subsequent life is to be spent. The certain prospect of
instant death to himself and all that are dear to him, from
the occurrence of a very probable event, is unable to drag
the attention of the one from the enjoyments of the moment'
while the slight but improbable chance of a diminution in the
smallest articles of future comfort, renders the other indiffe-
rent to the means of present enjoyment whtch are within
reach.—Alison's Principles of Population.
PROTECTION AGAINST SCARLET' FBVER.—SCATICtiIIar as
annual visitor at this season, has this year prevailed to 6
greater extent than usual; scarcely a town in the kingdn°
but has felt its effects, though some but slightly, yet in
others it has been more severe than for many precedint
years; it has been almost entirely confined to children'
Nightshade has been recommended by the first physicians ill
Europe—Dr. Hahneman, of Leipsic, Dr. Brindt, of Castrior
Dr. Muhsbeck, of Dearmin, in Western Pomerania, Dr;
Dustenbourg, of Warbourg, and many others who have trio'
and proved its good effects in all cases. Those who have
used this precaution have, though in the infected houses,
escaped the infection. It is also recommended by our own
celebrated Dr. Graham. The formula recommended is,
solution of two grains of the extract of nightshade, in as
ounce of distilled water. To children of from one to ten
years of age, from one to five drops of this solution is given
four times a day; from ten years upwards, from six to ten
drops is given also four times in the twenty-four hours. In
some instances this has been continuedi for a fortnight.--'
Preston Pilot.
ANECDOTE.—We see by the papers that in Vauxhall
Bridge-road, on Thursday week, a fine horse rode by a gentle'
man of fashionable appearance was owned by General Sir it'
Burton, in passing, as the horse of his friend a Colonel Giles'
which had been stolen. The gentleman, a Mr. Tyrrell, ga°' e
of course, astounded, he having recently bought the horse'
Means are being taken to secure the thief who stole th
horse and sold it to Mr. Tyrrell. This reminds us of a story
connected with the memorable Corunna retreat which we
have sometimes heard. It is well known that on that ocell;
sion the cavalry were obliged to shoot their horses on the
cliffs, and in this way many a noble animal was cast into tut
tide to perish. It happened as the vessels were hurrying 011
to sea that a singular kind of noise was heard under t 0
counter of one of the transports, and on investigation it vi,
found that a remarkably fine horse was struggling for en.;
tence in the water. The master of the transport thought, t'it
might find a mument of spare time to save the animal, ano.l
a short space it was hoisted on board. It proved to be uron;
jured, and was brought to England and sold. Two or tbre
years afterwards a gentleman was riding the horse throng!:
the streets of one of our garrison towns, when to his surprl4
an officer of hussars came up and claimed the horse es
own.—Lancaster Gazette.
JOHN.—We have thought this ancient name would l'„t
handed down to the latest generation, and we now doubt ei`l'e
that the latest inhabitant of this world will be a John. "4
infer this from the rapid increase of John, and we fear titro
the name of John will be given to everybody. Step into
