TURKISH METHOD OF TREATING HoRsEs.-The
late Commodore Porter, when envoy of the United
States at Constantinope, had horse cured of
founder by Turkish farrer in the following man
ner 1.-The Turk said the horse must be bled in the
inside of his diseased leg. He put nipper his
nose keep him steady-then took up the left leg,
and crossing il the right, gave it to attend
ant he then struck his lancet into the vein, little
above the feock joint, and took from it about three
and a half pounds of blood The vein bled freely.
| He now said he had taken enough; he then went
to tn very opposite side Of the leg and striking his
lancet into vein above the krsec- joint, single
drop u blood exuded, and both that and the first
opened vein instantly ceased bleeding. There may
BE- no novelty this, but it certainly astonished me
70 find that opening two veins in the same limb
stopped both from bleeding such, however, is the
fact for witnessed IL. He desired that the horse
should rest the next day-that he should then be
rode with great violence until he was in profuse
perspiration-the diseased limb then to be rubbed
With wet salt-(to which | added pint Of hot
brandy -then rubbed dry, and then walked about
until cool and covered with blankets; the same
process to be repeated next day-vhch was done,
and all lameness from that time disappeared the

In abiding to the coalition in New York
between the Old Hunkers and the Adolf
tionists, we have before taken occasion to
speak OF the nomination of the above
named gentleman by the Locofocos for
Senator in the 25th senatorial district in
that State. In the Utica On. ~ Herald
we find full sketch of the political career
of Mr.. Stanton, and of his final surrender
to Old Hunkerism, as the only means left
to crafty in ever so small degree his
political aspirations. The Herald thus
traces the Abolition career OF this Locofo-
co candidate for the State Senate, and to
which we direct the attention of the elite
of the foreign organ in this city:
"When Lane Seminary was broken up
in 1884, by an erratic genius who mould
ed at his will younger and more pliable
intellects, Mr. Stanton came forth fiery
Abolitlonist. AT that period, and many a
time since, we have heard him advocate
principles at war with all those he must
now profess His political addresses from
1888 down to the death of the Liberty
party are so many eloquent, and, we may
add, vindictive COMBINATIONS of his pre-
sent stand. There was no man in the
Union who reprehended in stronger terms
all political connexion with southerners,
and all support of shareholders and of men
who voted for shareholders, no matter
how noble the object to be subserved.
The church which acknowledged as breth-
rem the shareholders of the South, which
presumed to admit them to the table of
communion, received in full measure his
Imagnanimous wrath.
"What shall be said of him, then, when
suddenly and without the first ray of ad-
ditional light, he strikes hands with and
accepts nominations from the party which
has trampled not only upon his principles,
but his rights.
'Does he 60 among these hardened
sinners as missionary! Does he dream
of abolitionizing this pro-slavery mass'
Does he suppose his leaven is to infuse
itself through this huge and rocky lump
No one who knows him will so outrage
ously impugn his good sense as to answer
aye.
"The only satisfactory solution of this
wonderful change of front is to be found
in the hope Of his recent nomination For
Senator Of the 18th district, Henry B.
Stanton"

BALLooN ASCENSION. Mons. Victor Verdallc
made a balloon ascension, feet upward, from Red
Bank, opposite Philadelphia, on Thursday. A
Philadelphia paper, speaking of the ascent, says:
"Whcn il had raised about one hundred feet,
Mons vcrdsllc placed his feet ON the topmos bar
of the frame, and in this dangerous position hung
with his head downwards. He then caught hold of
two rings affixed to ropes hanging from the upper
bar and turned two or three sumnersaults in the
style which, when we're boys, was technically
called 'skinning the cat He then landed upon
his feet, and waved his flags until the sight of him
wns lost in the distance. The hour being late and
the dcws hoavy--thc GOODNESS OF the upper strata
Of air rapidly chilled the rareficd air in the balloon
and IL began TO fall. II had taken wcstwardly
course toward Woodbury., N. j., and in FIVE min
that village"

In STARCH OF A WIFE.-Two or three years
since young merchant in the western part of
New York, having formed high opinion of the
of them in the Offering, came on to the city in
search of wife. As his purpose was known to the
girls at the several places which he visited, or for
some other reason, he not very successful in
the object of his mission, and was compelled to
turn home without lady-lo 1t happened, how
ever, not long since, that of the young girls
marked that ''she wished she had known the object
of so fine gentleman's visit-that she would have
had him." Another Immediately made known this
declaration to the gentleman-and, to come to the
point at once, he came on last week-took the young
lady TO Rhode Island, or Connecticut, and married
her-having seen her but once before. They are
very happy in each others society, and we hope
will long enjoy the bliss of the welded life
The editor of the Offering frequently has applica-
tons for wives from persons at distance, but we
believe she invariably writes them to come and
make their own selections.-LolDel Journal.

VALUE OF RArLRoADs.-The influence of rail-
roads on wealth is made apparent by recent
comparative estimate Of the personal and real
estate Of the two cities Of Boston and New York.
II is found that the former is indebted for her re-
cent rapid growth, TO her superior enterprise in
railroads The valuation of real and personal
estate, in New York, at the commencement of the
pres mt year, was 1884 ,l93, 527, which, compared
with that of 1910, exhibits increase of only
81 ,35O,373; while that of Boston shows increase
of S73,O97 400 during the interval. In 1910,
the wealth of Boston in real estate amounted to
S9463l 600 while at the present time it is estima-
ted at Sl67, 723 900.

WHAT A FARMER SHOULD BE.-A farmer should
particularly as applied to agriculture; he should be
well versed in mineralogy, geology, botany, and
in the physiology of seeds plants, trees, and ami
mails, including the species of bimana; he should
learn geometry, mensuration, &C.; he should study
political economy so far as to have clear concep-
ton of the sources of wealth and prosperity
In our republican Government he should be in
structed in his constitutional rights, and taught
vindcate them by terse and condensed elocution.
IT will be happy event for our country when our
farmers so educated, shall have the ascendency in
our halls of legislation, and thereby put stop 10

have already reduced our country, possessing all
the Of prosperity in pre- eminent degree, to
most pitable condition, by their miserable egis-
lation-Norh american Farmer.

When last the thorn was white;

Yet, vet saw thy form
Beside me in the midnight watch,
Above me in the storm.
And many blissful dream had,
That brought thy gentle smile

Upon the Church yard Stile
Pm here to seek thee now, Mary,
AS all love the best;
To fondly tell thee how, Mary,

With hope, and truth, and JOY,
And crown with Manhood's honest faith,

For Time is kind they say, Mary,
And flies with healing wing;
The world may make me old and wise.
And hope may have new birth,

The CoTToN EXPERIMENT IN AUsTRALIA.-A
sample of cotton grown in Australia has lately been
exhibited in London. II is said to be of very good
quality, and superior 10 the average American cot
ton imported into Liverpool. Two varieties have
been raised-one white cotton, the other light
drab or brown cotton. The former is distinguished
by sickness Of texture, which is said to be very
rarely noticed IN American cotton. The question
has yet to be solved whether the price which could
be obtained for it in England would be sufficient to
pay the expenses Of culture and preparing for mar
ket, and freight, &c, to England.

DESTROYING lSsECTs.-lhe following obserya-
tons by Professor Lindley, on the destruction OF
insects, applicable at the present season
Elsewhere will be found various receipts for the
destruction of the "aphdes,'' which swarming
in our gardens. The efficacy of each receipt is
vouched for by its advocates, and doubt not, in
all cases truly. Tobacco water, tobacco dust, soap
suds, and gas water all have their admirers. We
patronise smelling salts.
We doubt not, however, that complaints may
and will come of the inability of all these applica-
tons. People fancy il is enough TO throw or trun-
die the fluid the infected bushes, once for ALL
and the thing is done. They forget that no appE-
cation whatever reach the insects that lurk in
the folds of the leaves that others will be missed
even the surface and that these creatures null
tiply at rate somewhat greater than the pop
ulation of London. Thousands and tens of thou
sands may be destroyed to- night, and to- morrow
others fall into the ranks, and recruit the legions
One or two applications Of any sort can be pro-
ductive of little relief They must be frequently
repeated, and skfully, by sharp and quick expul-
sions from fine-nosed syringe. IL that Is done
we guaranty the radiance of the pest by means OF
carbonate of ammonia, (smelling salts;) which il
is expedient to use, that depends upon its quality
If bought fresh of the wholesale chemist, half an
ounce 10 quart Of water is enough. But it is
often much weaker. when the proportion of salts
must be larger
1t has the great merit Of being clean and eflec-
tual; besides which, it improves the health Of the
foliage very much All the other washes, although
they may be powerful, are dirty, and therefore
objectionable in flower gardens.

The KEY OF DEATH.-In the collection OF curl
osties preserved in the arsenal at Venice, there Is
key, of which the following singular tradition Is
related
About the year 1890 one of those dangerous men,
in whom extraordinary talent is only the fearful
source of crime and wickedness beyond that of
ordinary men, came TO establish himself as mer-
chant or trader in Venice. The stranger, whose
name was Tebaldo, became enamored Of the
daughter of an ancient house, already afhanced to
another. He demanded her in marriage, and of
course was rejected. Enraged at this, he studied
how to be revenged. Profoundly skilled in the
mechanical arts, he allowed himself no rest until
he had invented the most formidable weapon
which could be imagined This was a KEY of
large size, the handle of which was constructed
II could be turned round with difficulty When
turned, II disclosed spring, which, on pressure,
launched from the other end a needle or lancet of
such subtle fneness, that il entered into the flesh,
and buried itself there, without leaving any exter
nal trace.
Tebaldo waited in disguise, at the door of the
church in which the maiden whom he loved
about TO receive the nuptial benediction The
sassin sent the steel, unperceyed into the breast of
the groom. The wounded man had no suspicion
of injury, but seized with sudden and sharp pain
In the midst Of the ceremony, he tainted, and
carried to his house amid the lamentations of the
bridal party. Vain was the skill of the physicians
who could not divine the of this strange
illness, and in few days he died.
Tebaldo then again demanded the hand of the
maiden of her parents, and received a second refu
sal. lney, 700, perlsheu nlseraDiy IN lew days
The maiden, thus cruelty orphaned, had passed the
first month of her mourning in convent, when
Tebaldo, hoping to bend her to his WILL cntreated
to speak with her at the gate. This she refused
Tebaldo, beside himself with rage, determined to
wound her through the CRATE and at last
ceeded. The obscurity Of the place prevented his
| movements from being observed The maiden
soon felt pain in her breast, and, uncovering it.,
| she found it spotted with single drop of blood
The pain gradually increased, and the surgeons
who fastened To her assistance taught by the past
wasted time in conjecture, but, Immediately
cutting deep into the wounded part, extracted the
| needle before any mortal mischiefhad commenced
| and thus saved the life of the young lady. The
| appearance of Tebado at the convent caused sus-
picion to fall heavily upon him. Accordingly his
| dwelling was carefully searched, and the Infamous
| invention was found in his possession. Tebaldo
| subsequently persisted on the gibbet.

Georgia Elections.

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of
the 9Th instant gives us reason to suppose
that, after all, the Wings have carried
both branches of the Legislature. Even
the Locofoco dispatches, published day
or two since, concede that the Wings have
elected twenty-four Senators; but to over
come this they claimed for themselves
twenty five, which would give them ma
jority of one. But as there are but forty
seven Senators in the whole, the majority,
as matter of course, is with us This
will be easily discovered by the following,
which we take from the Chronicle and
Sentinel:
''in the Senatorial table which we pub
lish today, it will be seen that the Wings
have elected twenty and the Democrats
seventeen. The following districts are to
be head from:
"Ware and LoDndes, Camden and
Wayne, Appling and Montgomery, Telfair
and Irwin, Decatur and Thomas, Steyayt
and Randolph, DooIy and Pulaski, Camp
bell and Carroll, Habersham and Rabun.
"The Wings calculate upon electing the
four districts in italics, which will give
them majority of one in the Senate.
''In the House the reports of the cleo
ton in some OF the counties are contra
dictory, and we are unable to arrive at any
conclusion, though it is thought the Wings
will have small majority"
