CURE FOR SWIMMING IN THE
HEAD

| The St Louis correspondent of the "Han-
nIbal Courier" relates the following interest
ing OPERATION for the relief of this distressing
malady:
lew days ago, as I was walking leisurely
along the great fashionable thoroughfare of
st. Louis, Fourth street observing the many
and varied phrase under which humanity
here presents itself, my attention was arrested
by the gay appearance of a lady and gentle
man mounted on horse back, and coming up
the street Immediately before me. TIE gen
tlenlan presented the appearance Of a young
city blood of the first water, and with his
dainty kid gloves, glazed cap and high-heeled
boots, looked as sleek as though he had been
taken through the whole length of the Arcade
baths, and then FINISHED OFF, at the BARRIERS
shop. His fair companion was dressed in a
long flowing riding skirt of fashy material,
and had on pretty little velvet cap, coquet-
tishly cooked up on one side, with tiny silk
tasse dangling over her right shoulder. They
were going under lively canter and no doubt
anticipated merry morning jaunt. But
just as they got opposite me, l observed the
lady turns livid in the face. drop the reins of
her horse and seemed falling to the ground,
as thought, in ft OF apoplexy. Her chiv-
alrous attendant Immediately sprang from his
saddle and lifted her seemingly lifeless form
gently TO the side walk. Impelled by curios-
ity, very naturally walked up TO see what
was the matter. The young man still sup
porting the fainting lady in his arms, very
composedly asked me if had a penknife.-
Thinking he was going to bleed his fair pa
tent to restore her to consciousness, [ quick
" handed him one with the remark that it
was rather a rough instrument for that pur-
pose. Never mind,o said he "it will an
swer very WE'LL But what was my horror
and establishment to see him, instead of look
ing for vein, commenced deliberate search
for the ''silken cord that bound her fairy
waist" Luckily he soon found it, and APP
plying the knife be severed it with master
stroke, the ends swapping asunder, with
sound very much like that produced by sud
denly cutting the bands from a tightly COM
pressed bale of cotton! The effect was most
astonishing, and it was evident the young cav
alier had touched the complaining cord"
for the lady Immediately grasped-then drew
long inspiration and heaved deep sigh,
something like that emitted by an over-bur-
dened porter, when he throws down his load
She soon recovered perfectly, and looking
around remarked that s'those hired horses
trot bard enough to make any persons head
SWIM" But her experienced escort viewed
light, and suggested the propriety of retrac-
ing their steps, to which she acquiesced, so.
with few expressions of regret for their iii
luck, they re mounted and were off for home
leaving me utterly COMPOUNDED to see how
well the young chap knew how to cure swim
ming in the head.

THE CLOSE OF THE BATTLE OF
NAVARINO

Coward they passed, with living wall
on either side, and every step on a corpse
but behind, laundering after, came the Ma
hometan horsemen, and they too, cuta terri
BILE path fer themselves through the midst of
the fugitive women. Every inch of their
track was gained by the life of those helpless
ones-infants lay trodden down beneath their
horses feet, and the mothers were stabbed as
they passed. and thus struggling, mangliug,
devouriDg one another, the contending hosts
ragged over the plain, like monstrous serpents
writing about, and twinng together their
length in a deadly fight. At last the troops
of Kariaskaki came to the rescue the horse
men were driven back, and those the Greeks
who yet survived succeeded in reaching the
Zyogs mountain, beyond which lay Salona,
their hoped-!or refuge. As they arrived at
the bottom ofthe hill, and paused one instant
painting and exhausted, they turned TO look
back, and perceived that the Turks, being
thus forced to abandon their pursuit of those
who had so miraculously escaped them, were
now directing their whole fury against the
unfortunate city, that for twelve long months
had resisted their obstinate attack. They
were pouring into the town along with the
Arabian and Egyptian soldiers, aud the fierce
spirit of revenge had kindled in their breasts
a horrible eageruess to eXterminate to the ut
termost the lingering wreck of the gallant
Nessalonghiotes but if there is but one ter
ribe means by which Greeks could escape the
{ ,loo III Nv tI1a IL
means they were sure to adopt. Suddenly
a most tremendous explosion was heared-
the powder magazine blew up with dreadful
crash. A sheet of fire burst forth from its
ruins, and, borne upon it swings of soaring
flame the brave spirits of the Hellenic mar
tyrs escaped from the torments OF tn eir earth

ApULTERATED MEDICINEs.--A. bill

ApuLTERATED MEDIcINEs.--A bill
passed both Houses Of Congress providing
that competent Chemist shall be appoln-
ted for each important port, at salary o.
$1,000 per annum, whose duty it shall be
to examine all medicine imported. and
condemn all that is impure. The facts. as
fully set forth by the committee which re-
ported the bill, show that very large por-
lion of the medicine imported INTO the u
nited States, is impure, and that the West
has been, more than any other part Of the
Union, cursed with this worse than worth
less trash, which has probably been The
death of thousands. The evil is a most
CRYING one, but we fear the remedy will
not reach the disease. Examiners 10 IN
50 ect medicine are 10 be appointed only at
the important ports, while the unimport-
ant ports are free for the importation of
adulterations called medicines. In uddi-
lion to this, men base enough to vend
adul,erated medicine. are base enough to
adultera.e it themselves.-Cin Com.

The GREAT DURMAN BELL.-Next to
the great bell Of Moscow, wh ch weighs
444 600 lbs. is the bell of Mengoon, men
toned by Mr.. Malcom, who describes the
Burmese as very famous for casting bells.
Their bells are, however, disproportlonal-
ly thick, but Of delightful tone. The
raised inscription and figures are as beau
liful as any bells in the world. They do
not flare open at the mouth like a trum-
pet, but are precisely the shape Of old
globular wine glasses. or semi-spleroid:-
cal. There are several in the empire, of
enormous size. That at Mengnon. near
Ava, weighs, as the prime minister inform
ed me, eighty thousand viss-more than
333, 900 lbs. 1t seems almost incredible.
but it is nevertheless true. The bell, by
actual measurement, is twenty inches
thick, twenty feet high, including the ear,
and l3 feet inches in diameter. A friend,
distinguished as a civil engineer, compu-
ted the weight, from-this measurement. to
exceed 100000 lbs, supposing the bel.
metal to consist Of three parts copper and
one part tin. The weight was ascerained
by the Burmese before casting. and IFS
bulk in cubic inches proves to be correct
1t is suspended few inches from the
ground, and like other great bells, is with
out tongue. That at Rangoon is not
much smaller. 1t will be recoll ected that
the largest bell in the United States
does not much exceed five thousand pounds.
