the continual repair of it, and then they re-
mark-sGt undoubtedly consists with reason
and with sound policy, that the expense OF
keeping up the road should be betrayed BY
those who exclusively derive benefit from it )
and the only way to effect this is by the erec-
ton of toll-gates, and the collection Of toll,
which we trust will be a moderate one" But
WHY should the people who travel the road be
taxed for the expense Of keeping it up any
more than for making it2
IF it is unreasonable for people "of other
parts of the country" or in other words, for
the general government to pay for keeping
the road in repair, we are at a loss to see how
it can be reasonable for the general govern
ment to appropriate money to the making
any road, over which all the people OF the u
nited States do not pass. As well might 1t
be urged, at once, that the government had
no power to make the Cumberland Road, Tor
the doctrine held by the mtelhScncer IS
precisely the same in the end.

Extract ola letter from captain Ome, of ship
Sally, of Salem, dated Havana, April IA,
1926, just arrived from Sisal.
1--WE have suffered much by the sick
ness at Sisal, and l am sorry to commu-
nicate the death Of one man, William
Barker, of small pox; we are now all
well. William Barker had been pre-.
viously vaccinated. l caused all the
others on board, those who had been
vaccinated, and those who had not, to
be inoculated. The incubation took
effect upon all, but those who had pre-
viously been vaccinated had no more
than the SYMPTOMS; the others have beer
very sick and are well marked, but are
now doing well. The disorder was
communicated TO the shore, where II
was previously unknown"

very interesting letter from the Anne
rican Consul at Algiers; gentleman
distinguished for his talents and libc.
raj requirements.
.4lgiers, 5M March, 1925.
Dear Sir,-This country having suf.
fered an awful visitation, here send
you. for your information, an extract
Of the Journal of this Consulate rela-
tive to it.
March 2.-This morning at half past
nine, a very violent shock of earthquake
was felt. The movement was from
east to west, lateralIy, quick and jar
ring, with noise resembling that made
by number of Wagons driven rapid.
" over paved ways. The atmosphere
was perfectly serene, the wind strong
from the interior, the thermometer at
$50, and the barometer falling, though
but very slightly affected. The first
shock endured about 90 seconds; it was
succeeded by two others, at distances
of time of 10 and 20 minutes, but less
violent.
March 3.-Reports were received
last night, by the government; that the
town Of Bclida had been destroyed by
the earthquake of yesterday; that a
mosque, two coffee houses, and five
dwelling houses, are the only buildings
standing in that town; and that almost
the whole Of its population has perish
ed. The Aga, with detachment Of
cavalry. left the city at three this morn
ing, to ascertain the truth of this re-
port, and relieve the sufferers. Belida
is town situated at the foot OF the
mountains on the southern verge OF the
beautiful plain of Metijah; it is report
ed to have contained about 10000 in
habitan,s, and it enjoyed great de
gree of agricultural prosperity, it being
only IS miles distant from this city,
which it supplied with fruit and vege-
tables. During the day the news Of
the disaster at Belida is confirmed by
successive reports. A caravan, with
tents and every thing in the power OF
this city to furnish, has been despatch
ed by the government for the relief OF
the sufferers. Several shocks OF earth
quake were felt during the day, and at
IS minutes past i'll the evening, one
very severe. &.
lMrch 4.-The barometer was found,
this morning, to have risen three lines
during the last night, and the shocks
of earthquake have ceased entirely
One Of the principal sources OF the
prosperity Of Belida was its numerous
springs-abundance of water circula
ted freely through all its streets, and
extensive plantations. 1t is now re-
ported that about half an hour before
this terrible catastrophe, all the water
suddenly disappeared, and that now
there is. none to be found within the
distance Of half league. All subse-
quent reports lead to the belief that the
frat was not exaggerated.
am, very respectfully, dear sir, your
most obedient humble servant,
VIM. SMALLER.
p. S. I remarked that during the pc
nod of earthquake above mentioned,
the sea did not appear to be in the least
affected, being as quiet as usual here
during the same weather.
Belida, think, is situated about
south from Algiers.
The Bashaw, as proof of his gra-
titude to Allah for not destroying this
city also, set at liberty about $50 ka-
byles who were detained here in chains
on account of political disputes with
their tribe.-."A quelque chose malheur
est bon" Nat. Ca.

we take great pleasure in reading, and CIV
ing others an opportunity to read, of the ra-
pd strides of the enterprsing people of New
York, towards fortune and greatness. The
following article, from the Albany Daily Adj

our citizens: if we cannot do things on so

The schooner Tandem, Nye, from
Baltimore for Boston, was fallen in with
on Tuesday, about 60 miles s. L. OF
Sandy Hook, on her beam ends, and
the crew taken off by the sloop Rising
Sun, arrived at Providence from Balti-

Monday. The owner, who was below,
was much bruised in making his es-
cape through the sky light.

The detailed account of the Manu-
features of France, which we the Nn-
tional Gazette have extracted from the
last number Of the London Quarterly
Review, is fitted to engage the atten-
ton Of considerable proportion OF our
readers. 1t was digested from evidence
taken by committee OF the British
House Of Commons, and would seem,
therefore, to be entitled to credit. Few
persons supposed that France was
comparatively so backward in that
branch Of industry. The London Re
viewer, in furnishing this valuable in
formation, designed to provide data
for the important question,-whether
the Legislative restraints upon the ex-
portation of British machinery should
be removed? He thinks that the re-
moval would enable France to advance
in the manufacturing career too last
for the interests Of Great Britain; and
he remarks in the end
"The question is most important and mos,
difficult. On the one hand, We are pressed
by those general principles of free trade on
which the government has been SO Literally
acting, and TO which zoe giue our most eord,d'
assent; on the other, a strong and particular
instance is presented, in which Restrictions
seem to be palpably advantageous, and re-
| peal of them mere gratultous piece OF gene
rosity, for which no reciprocal boon IS posi-
BILE. There may be cases wisely to be eA-
cepted from the wisest rule.
The advantages Of steam navigation
are about to be extended to the Levant
and Turkey Trade. 1t is intended to

liable commodities and letters from

tranship the former into the vessels Of
| The Mediterranean Steam COmDany.

CURE FOR CHOLIC IN HORSES.
Brunswick County, Feb. 18th, 1895

To the Editor of the American Farmer.
!Sir,-Noticing in No. 40, OF the Farmer, the
case of your sorrel horse, induces me to inform you
of never falling remedy for the cholic in the horse.

twenty five years. l obtained my information from
a travelling gentleman, who said also that he never
knew it to fail 1t is nothing more than half a
pound Of gIauber salts administered in drench

quently give more, for it will do no harm. How il
has this powerful and immediate effect, submit to
others to point out but il certainly will give entire
relief in fifteen or twenty minutes, not only to the
horse but to the OK. After you, Sir, have been con
WINGED of the efficacy of this remedy you would do
a signal service to the community to endeavor,
through your paper, to impress them with sense
OF its utility.
Some time since, cautioned my son of this
remedy, who has his first horse few days after
wards one of my horses was taken with violent
spasms of the stomach, / carried my son out with
his watch to witness the happy effects of salts; the
horse was in such pain as to be unable to stand to
he drenched, it was given him as he lay; in fifteen
minutes he appeared to be perfectly easy and went
to pool to drink. Notwithstanding this, his own
horse from home at the time) being taken with
symptoms similar to those you described, instead
|of applying my remedy, was persuaded by knowing
Jones, TO try other remedies with no effect, after
which he had recourse to the salts which relieved
him Immediately.
To pound Red Pepper.-One of your subscri,
|bers in late Number wishes to know how to pre-.
pare Cayenne, or Red Pepper, for the table. Let
him crush the pods little, clip them with scs.

water as will cause the particles to adhere being
made up in the form of biscuit bake it slowly I'M
