Whether is Gin, Rum, or Brandy, the nM
HhoteSome "A question that is often asked, W
have heard it defined by hypotheucal reaSoN'oS
from the following experiment: A piece oil raw

The argument deduced was, that the sp''' ~

From the Boston Erening Gazette.

An extraordinary and ingenious escape was made
from the State Prison at Charleston lew days
since, by one of the convicts. He worked in shop
as cabinet maker and upholserer, and having
orders for large sofa he made it with false bot
tom and stuffed it with some very light materials.
In the space formed between the top and lower
bottom he contrived to introduce his body, al the
time when the waggoner came to take away the
piece of furniture. He was small man and his
weight was not sufficient 10 produce any suspicion
in the mind of the driver. The sofa, thus loaded.
was accordingly slowed away in the baggage wagon
and our hero effected his escape, in manner that
for some time eluded the detection OF the officers.

Repeating Guns.-Caslle Garden was crowded
to witness the experiments of the repeating guns
MIR. Ellis had three guns, containing charges
each, which he fred in quick succession, at DIS
lance of 25 yards, at two targets OF panss' The
balls passed through, ard struck the buwarks OF the
Castle. 1t was evident, from the ease and quick
ness of the firing, as we'll as from the effect, that
these 81 balls fired a, boat, with precision, must
do considerable execution-and in the space OF two
minutes. Two pistols, of charges each, were also
fired The invention really merits the attention Of
government N. Z. Paper.

Treatment Of the PiEes.-For this very disagreed.
bic and announcement disorder, it will be necessary
TO take gentle laxative and pu gaive medicines as
sulphur, cream of tartar and CONNECTION of SIENNA
but the patient must avoid drastic purgayes, aud
above all atoes in any shape. The following, called
sulphur conection will be found be, perhaps the
best medicine that can be prescribed for this COM
plaint-Mix together in glass marble mortar,
half an ounce oil sulphur two ounces of confection
OF SIENNA, three drachms of satpetre in powder and
much syrup OF oranges as will give the whole
proper consistence One or two drachms of this,
or piece of the size OF nutmeg is TO be taken
twice thrice day, as to keep the bowels open.
To Remote Chiiblains Take an ounce of white
copperas dissolved in quart Of water, and OCCASION
ally apply it to he affected parts. This will u-
mately remove the most obstinate blans.
N. B. This application must be used before they
break, otherwise it will do injury.
For Small Cuts and Woands.- Moisten a piece
Of lint with saturated solution of copal gum in ether,
and apply it over The injured part. Molsen it once
twice day, by pouring sufficient quantity over
it without removing the lint. II 1t be cut, care
should be taken to bring the edges together, when
the application from its sticking quality will keep
them in that state. A bandage may also be app
ed but when the mischief is extensive, it is
necessary.
