A REMARKABLE FAcp.-Some late experiments by M. Namlas, of Vienna, on the blood of persons who had dled ot cholera proves that there exists deadly poson Tn it. He drew portion of the blood from the heart oi person who died of this disease and inserted through nesion the skin of rabbit five days afterwards ihe animal became dejected and on the 10th day, died. The blood in its heart became black and gramous. The bleod Of this rabi was introduced un- der the skin of another which caused Its death in 24 hours. The same phenomena attended the dissection of this as cfthe other rabbit It was desirable now to know whether the beod of patients dead from other dis eases would produce similar etlscs. Ihe doctor then inserted the black fcetld blood of person dead from intestinal gangrene under the skin of rabbit but the hsalth Of the animal was not allected There was a similar result following the injection of the blood of person who had died of aneufism Others will draw their inferefenees from these facts.

The business now is-hcw shall
she be lifted off? On this poirt there
is good many opinions. Some say
she ought to wait and take the
chances for high tides and low trade
and go off with all the gest--and that
ifCongress makes any appropriation
it ought to be silted round among all
tho vessels now ashore-but this is
pritty much like tho condition | once
telI'd on about the Wagons in the
mud. Now my notion is we had
best try an experiment with one
git her if we can-;and then with her
aid try to git the rest--for there amt
power in all creation to Lift them all
togethers / have great likin / must
say for the "Iwo Politics." | know
what she is built on-for tho she has
changed flag she aint changed oW-
ners and her keel and knees and
plank and floor timbers-tney are all
the same-and she is worth sayin for
the good she has done and can Go
yet.
And this is my plan--Conaress
owns considerable pile of empty
hogsheads lying round at the Navy
Yard at Brooklyn-All Iwant is to
have the use ola few on 'em for a
speil--it wont cost the country dol
lar-for them empty casks amt worth
nothing till pinch or war of some
SIGH kind of thing comes-and I
promise to return them all afore
they are wanted for other work.
Some on yousay that empty casks
sound two much like credst-and you
wont let 'em be used, unless they are
filled with stones or iron or gold or
sand or silver Or water or something
that sounds solid or aneta,ic-but all
I've got to say about it is--that kind
ofwork wont Lift any thing off shore
give me the use of the empty casks
to do the liftin and call it credit Or
what you will Ell promise to cit the
Two PoIIies atioat with 'em-and
then you may fill 'em up as YOU
ylease-but ifyou want to push the
Two Pollies deeper in the sand YOU
can do so by rolling on top on her
your casks fill'd with heavy metal of
iron or gold or sornes or silver for

bad as tother, and the heaviest is the
worst
L don't mean ''to commit myself
and say that go for empty casks be-
fore full ones for all kind of work.

when a vessel is on shore and YOU
want to lift her off empty casks are
better than full ones--and when Won
git her off, then to and fill! up YOUR
empty casks for ballast, and keep 'em
so.
If your honorable body then will

sioNERABLE GENTLEMEN.-I have
been waitin for this day to come ever
since the Poilios' was run on shore
by Captain jumper so that could
lay the case right aforo the hull peo-
pie in one swing, for there is no way
Of gettin any matter well attended to
that belongs to the people til their
representatives all git together al
Washington in CoSgross-E look up
on you jist as l wound a barrel of CT
der billed down to a quart-tor the
hull barrels in that quart and jest so
the hull people are in you. 4
| suppose you all know that the
Two PoIlies is on shore and that ow-
in to that condition she is in consid-
cradle peril-both masts are broken
off and very leetie more than her hull
is left. 1t is pretty well known how
she got on this snarl-and the next
thing is TO see if some plan can't be
fixed on 10 get her out ont. You
have the power to do this and as eve
ny body knows and feels that there is
not and never has been and never
will be again any vessel afoat that
can compare with the Two PoIlios,-
it is your duty to see that some
means are taken to get her off shore.
Every body who has been off to see.
the hull of this vessel says there amt
nothin that floats that comes any way
nigh her for beauty and strengtI-for|
tho she has how been tilumpin on
the beach for a considerable spell
she is as soundand as strong from her
keel to her deck timbers as ever she
was-thls is OWN mainly to the man
nor she was first buiIt-for you know
and if you don't know, I now tel!
you that she was builtat the close of
the last war and all the timbers in her
was CAREFUL y taken from every State
ofthe Union-and she was biIt by
the nation-eyery State sendin car
penter to see that every part of her
was well put together-and every
carpenter too brought timber from his
own State TO put Oh her-live oak
lccust-pitch pine-cedar--and all
kinds used in ship buildinand a COM
p!eter job never was launched into
the water So long as she belonged
to the nation all went Oh wei! enufI
she could do a coastin trade and al
