.antidote for Arsenic.-The peroxide of
iron is said to be an efficient agent in coun-
tcracting the effect of arsenic when taken into
the stomach. In recent case, in this city, it
was advaatageousy administered by Or. r.
III. Thomas to man named Biddle, who had
in mistake swallowed twenty grains of arsenic.
The first dose given was half a fluid ounce Of
the hydrate in the wet state, about the consist
ence of cream, in tumbler Of water, which
was six hours after the arsenic had been swal-
lowed. At the same time large dose Of
magnesia was given which was repeated every
two hours. The doses Of the hydrate were
repeated every ten or fifteen minutes in two
ounces of water In the course Of ten hours
the patient was considered out of danger, hav-
ing taken eight ounces Of the suspended hy-
drate, and three or four doses of magnesia.--

The Everglades Of Florida.-The few per-
sons who have penetrated into the neighbor-
hood Of this region, have represented the
climate as most delightful; but from want Of
actual observation, could not speak so conf
IDENTIFY of the soil, though from the appearance
of surrounding vegetation, portion of it must
be rich. Whenever the aborigines shall be
forced from their Businesses, as they eventually
must be, the enterprising spirit of our country
men will very soon discover the sections best
adapted to cultivation, and the now barren or
unproductive everglades will be made to BIOS
som like garden. 1t is the general impress.
sion that these everglades are uninhabitabe
during the summer months, by reason Of their
being overlooked by the abundant rains of that
season; but if it should prove that their mum
dations IRE caused by distractions to the ma
tural courses Of the rivers, as outlets to the
numerous lakes, American industry will re-
move those distractions.

The Key Of Death.-In the collection Of
curiosities preserved in the Arsenal at Venice,
there is a key, Of which the following sngu-
lar tradition is related:
About the year 1890, one Of those DANCE
rous men, in whom extraordinary talent is only
the fearful source Of crime and wickedness be-
yond that Of ordinary men, came to establish
himself as n merchant or trader in Venice
The stranger, whose name was Tebaldo, be-
came enamored of the daughter Of an ancient
house, already affianced to another. He de-
manded her in marriage, and was Of course
rejected. Enraged at this, he studied how to
be revenged. Profoundly skilled in the me-
chanical arts, he allowed himself no rest until
he had invented the most formidable weapon
which could be imagined. This was key Of
large size, the handle Of which was so con-
structed, that il could be turned round with lit
tie difficulty. When turned, il discovered a
spring, which on pressure, launched from the
other end a needle or lancet Of such subtle
firmness, that il entered into the flesh, and bu
ried itself there without leaving any cxtcrna

The vile and abominable practice, so much
in vogue in Europe, Of bribmg servants to
attend to travellers-and which seems to be
gaining ground in this country, is rebuked by
writer in the New York Gazette as follows: :
"Doceurs to Serrants-This infamous sys-
tenn is carried to such an extent in England,
as not only to be serious tax upon strangers,
but operates as check and encouragement
to travellers.
"In some houses in this city, few land
lords have attempted to introduce this vile
system. 1t ought to be totally discounte-
nanced, there is no cause for it here. In
England and Europe generally servants are
badly paid. 1t is quite the reverse here !;
they need no walls they are amply paid for
all they do. That class of servants who are
constantly watching the departure Of stran-
gers to extort pay for services not rendered,
ought to be Immediately discharged and the
reason given. If the hotels alluded to do not
cause the practice to be discontinued, we shall
put them in book we are compiling for the
use of the summer traveller, that the hotels
who encourage begging servants may be
avoided" .s ...a .U.> .'a....

EXTRACTS FROM THE CLoCKMAKER;

The folks at New Orleans put me in mind
of children playin' in churchyard jumpn' over
the graves, hidin' behind the tombs, larfin' at
the emblems of mortality, and the queer old
rhymes under 'em, all full Of life and glee, and
fun above ground, while underneath it is

tons, and generations Of departed citizens
That are place is built in a bar in harbor;
made Of snags, drift wood and chokes, heaped
up by the river, and then filled and covered
with the sediment and alluvial of the rich bot
toms above, brought down by the freshets.
It's peoped in the same way. The eddies and
tides of business of all that country centre
there, and the froth and scum are washed up
and settle at New Orleans It's filled with all
sorts Of people, black white and Indians, and
their different shades, French, Spanish, Por-
tuguese and Dutch; English, Irish and Scotch,
and then people from every State inthe Union.
These last have all nicknames. There's the
hooslers of Indians, the suckers of Illinoy, the,
pukes of Missouri, the buckeyes Of Ohio, the
red horses of Kentucky, the mudheads of
Tennessee, the wolverines Of Michigan, the
cells of New England, and the corn crackers
of Virginia. All these, with many others,
make up the population, which is motled with
black and all its shades, most of all supplied
by emigration. 1t is great caravansary filled
with strangers, desperate enough to make your
hair stand an eend, drinkin' all day, gamblin'
all night, and fghtin' all the time. Death
pervades all natur' there; it breathes in the
air. and it floats in the water, and rises in the
vapors and exhalatons, and rides on the whrl-
wind and tempest; ii dwels on the drought,

trace. Tebaldo waited, in diguise. at the door
OF the church in which the maiden whom he
loved was about to receive the nuptial bene-
diction. The assassin sent the slender steel,
unperceived, into the breast of the bridegroom.
The wounded man had no suspicion Of injury,
but, seized with sudden and sharp pain in the
mids; of the ceremony, he tainted, and was
carried to his house amid the lamentations of
the bridal party. Vain was the skill Of the
physicians, who could not divine the cause
OF this strange illness, and in a few days he
died.
Tebaldo again demanded the hand of the
maiden from her parents, and received a Sc
cond refusal, They too persisted miserably
In few days. The alarm which these deaths,
which appeared almost miraculous, occa-
stoned, excited the utmost vigilance oil the
magistrates, and when on close examination of
the bodies, the small instrument was found in
the gangrened flesh, terror was universal
every one feared for his own life. The mai
den, thus cruelty orphaned, had passed the
first months of her mourning in convent,
when Tebaldo, hoping to bend her to his will,
entrcated to speak with her at the gate. The
face of the foreigner had ever been displeasing
to her, but, since the death Of all those most
dear to her, II had become odious, (as though
she had a presentment Of his guilt and her
reply was most decisive in the negative. Te-
baldo, beyond himself with rage, attempted to
wound her through the gate, and succeeded;
the obscurity ofthe place prevented his move
ment from being observed. On her return to
her room the maiden felt pain in her breast,
and uncoyering it, she found il spotted with
single drop of blood. The pain increased;
the surgeons who FASTENED to her assistance,
taught by the past. wasted no time in conjec-
ture, but cutting deep into the wounded part,
extracted the needle before any mortal mis-
chief had commenced, and saved the life Of
the lady. The state inquisition used every
means to discover the hand which dealt these
insidious and irresistible blows. The visit Of
Tebaldo to the convent caused suspicion to
fall heavily upon him. His house was care

An Autumnal View.-Mount the hill west
of our borough, says the Pottsville Journal,
look down the gorge of the Sharp mountain,
where the Schuylkill breaks through on its
southwark course; observe the varied foliage
of the trees, the busy life of the canal, and
the placid river in the distance, and it will
amply compensate you for half hours walk.
The extreme warm weather of the past sum-
mer has made the diversity Of tints more
varied than ever, and there is not sweeter
view any where this side of Mahomet's par
adise. Beautiful and picturesque as is our
whole vicinity, this is the diamond gem Of the
whole. Our town, like panoramic view, rs at
our feet here and there through the foliage Of
the sun lighted valley the crystal river is seen
peeping, and then bounding away to the south;
the towering mountains which overhang the
stream seem like the work of Titans, and
"The loose crags with threatening mass.
Lay lettering DER the followed pass,
As if an infants touch could urge
Their headlong passage down the verge"
The scenery of Schuykll county will in a
few short years hold conspicuous place in
the port folio Of the artist, and the sketch
book Of the tourist every diversity of view
from the quiet domestic scenes Of rural life,
to the bold majestic grandeur of frowning
rocks and beetling mountains may attract the
eye. 't.. .a.-
