Management of BhSterS. DR.. Robertson, in the
London Medical Times, gives the following drec-
ton for the management of blsters, the result Of
nearly seventeen years experience:
The blistering plaster, he says should be thinly
spread on paper or linen, not sprinkled over with
powdered cantharldes on the surface but instead
thereof, "A few drops of olive oil rubbed on it, and
allowed to remain. Used in this way he says, the
blis'e-acs speedily, and without causing irritation:
with him it never produces stranguary. He objects
to blister spread upon leather, because the leath-
er, by the heat of many parts of the body, becomes
dry, partially crisp and with difficulty adheres to
the skim and thereby prevents it from acting well
and generally over the whole part intended to be
bstered The blister should be spread thinlv. be-
cause the outer surface only is eficient and when
it is used in thick layer, it becomes irregular,
and consequently partial in its operation. The
powdered cantharides should not be sprinkled on
it, because they will not add TO its efficiency, as
they act but slightly on the skin; but the active
principle of the Spanish fly being soluble to olive
oil, affords reason for the use of the oil on the
surface of the blister. Dr. Robertson concludes
by renarking, that every one can make this blister
for himself, of the commonest materials, at very
triiing expense and if this be any accommoda.
tion it will act three, FOUR or six times, if unnur-
ed, and the oil gently renewed on its surface.

Idllo,c Manufacture. correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican, gives the following de
scrpton of one of the manufactures Of the West {:
"There is one establishment at Lafayette, India
ma which, from its novelty, must not be overlooked
1t is steam factory of tallow and lard. The whole
process is this: A lot of cattle are purchased and
butchered, the hides cured, and the carcasses cut
up and thrown into immense cauldrons, into which
the steam from large boiler is conducted by
which means the fat is rapidly extracted and drawn
off; then the lean is dealt out to lot of hogs,
which, to a considerable extent, are fattened on
this refuse of the carcuses of the cattle. The hogs
are served in the same way and after the lard is
extracted the carcases are used for the same pur-
poses as those of the cattle. This project though
an experiment, promises success 1000 hogs are
expected to be kept in this way. Cattle in album

Compound for failing Cattle. In the third vol

OF feeding cattle with cut straw, oilcake and flax

old heifer, with less expense even, than that of
common keeping, by the following process He
says: " boiled about two quarts of faxseed and
sprlnkled on to cut straw, which had been previous
ly scaded and seasoned with salt, together with
some oil.cake and oatmeal, working them together
in tub with a short pitchlork, till the whole be-
came an oily mush. | fattened the heifer first

months, in which time she had eaten about one
bushe of boiled flaxseed, with the other ingredi-
ens in proportion: when she was butchered, she
weighed 5S4 pounds, "a pounds of which was tai

Sweet Day so cool, so calm, so bright;
The bridal of the earth md sky:
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight;-
For thou must die.
Sweet Rose whose hue, angry and brave,
Bids the rash gIZcr wipe his eye:
Thy root is ever in its grave -
And thou must die.
Sweet Spring full of sweet days and roses -

sLAvE,MoNGERING DIPLOMACY.

Mr.. Calhoun's letter to Mr. King, our minister to
France, is the most absurd and ridiculous State
paper that has emenated from any high public
functionary of this Government. A Secretary of
State writing an argument to prove TO a foreign
Government that abhors slavery, that slavery is a
blessing not only to the people among whom it
exists tito the slaves themselves, and that it is
the interest of that foreign government to take
POSITION in its relations with other powers, favorng
the Institution Of Slavery, is the coolest piece of
presumption ever displayed by sane man. Mr.
Calhoun, with strange want of tact, speaks of
emancipation in the West India Islands, as estate
plea of philanthropy And he produces figures
to show that British emancipation has injured the
productive powers of her Colonies. He SAYS less
sugar and coffee have been produced; and argues
as if the difference in the amount Of the produc-
ton of these two articles were dead loss to Eng
land. Was ever such folly displayed by a states
man. 1t is true that less sugar and coffee are pro-
duced under the free than under the slave condi
ton; but the aggregate production as iceH as can
sumption, under the former condition is increased.
"a fact overlooked, or rather suppressed by Mr..
Calhoun. But such use of statistics is charac-
terlstic of Mr. Calhoun and his school,. We have
no doubt If the Cotton planters Of the South were
TO curtal their production of that article, and pro-
duce their own bread, meat horses, &c. which they
now buy from the Western States, Mr.. Calhoun
would argue that the prosperity of the South was
depressed in proportion to the decreased production
of Cotton and he would charge the Tariff with
robbng and plundering the planters lfthe meas
ure of happiness and prosperity in the West Indies

that anti-slavery principles and feelings and the

pocrisy exhibited by our vaunted Democracy in its
efforts to extend and perpetuae an institution

If that Democracy had not received the efficient
