Then when my neighb0rs says Oh, my

of my neighbors; only do not buy the

cause nobody will buy them. So keeps
them well and cleans them very nice, and
makes them lal and big, and when the llslie

Iron S,oiroay.-We had the gralifica-
ton yesterday of receiving another prooI
Of the ingenuity of our Baltimore mechan-
les, in the examination Of a stairway made
of wrought and cast iron. 1t is so con-
strucred as to take but little room, combin-
ing lightness of appearance with grea,
strength. The carriages are of wrought
iron, as is also the railing, with the excep.
ton of The uewells, or posts, which are OF
cast iron The Top hcing an oval cap of the
same material. The brackets upon which
The steps rest are of cast iron, while The
steps themselves are of wood, firmly Sc
cured TO The brackets by Two screws; in
addition 10 the bannislers which pass
through them. The bannislers are three
quarter inch wrought iron bolts, and are
secured underneath the brackets, through
which they pass by iron nuts. The whole
is an admirable Improvement Upon the
great heavy a~ kl:%%ard s,airways generally
used in the stores and warehouses Of our
merchants. II has been constructed in The
store Of Mr.. Thomas Mackenzie, No. l7S
Baltimore street, where it can be examin-
ed by those desirous to examine it. II is
the first Of the kind, we understand, ever
made in this city. and is the work of MIR.

Cold ABusion IN Poisoning by Prussic
.4cid-Al a meeting of English Chemists,
held at Sunderland, DR.. Robinson made
the following experiment in the presence
of his colleagues. Ele took TWO rabbits,
aud poured on the tongues of each four
drops of Prussic Acid. Thes effect was
instantaneous. They fell downapparenlly
dead. He now applied the anlidote. Cold
water, containing mixture Of saltpetre
and common salt, was poured on their
heads and along the spine. The fabbits
were Instantly rasuscita,ed, and in a few
minutes hoped about with their usual
briskuess.
This result was so remarkable, THAI: NJ
Louyel, Professor OF Chemistry az BIus-
sells, .desirous Of verifying. lis perfect ac-
curacy, repeated the eXperimcntas as fol-
lows. He introduced bymeans of lube,
into the mouth OF a young and healthy
rabbit, TWO drops consisting ofpure prussic
acid recently prepared, one part, and al
cohol four parts. When The poison reached
The mouth, the animal fell as: if struck
with lightning, and did not revive. The
same. application was then made to en-.
other, and as soon as s.ihe poison was TO-
troduced. a solution Of common salt cooled
down lQ l5n below zero,.w poured or
its head and back: la, few moment:
the animal was perfectly restored. 1t thu:
appears ihat.very cold wafer is an admi
rable means Of restoring the power Of ths
muscles, where i, has been destroyed oy

Nor stint the draught, but pledge again,

The Tickling Trick.-On he day be-
fore The Mass Convention took place, a
crowd had assembled in one of the hotels
in Baltimore, and the discourse turning
upon pickpockels, gentleman present
placed his hand upon his side pocket, said
he kept his money there, and dcfed any
one 10 steal il from him. A few moments
afterwards, this confden, gentleman felt a
strange tickling in one Of his ears. Taking
his hand of the pucker containing his
fi,nis. he commenced rubbing his ear to
allay the Utilization, and just as he got
through the operation. a friend came up
and accosted him. At this moment he
felt tickling in the region of the pocket.
and placing his hand where his pocket
book should have been, he found il not.
He bad heeu ,ickleI out of his vigilance
and his pocke, book at he same time. On
making a terrible noise, a police officer,
who happened 10 hear bis boast little
while before, remarked with great COOL
ness" Why, my dear sir, the tickling
trick is quite an old affair. The process is,
for one pickpocket to tickle the ear with
a straw, while confederate obtains pos
