Of an article from the Courier de COnsfOl-

in which the writer, John Baker, formerly
Consul General Of England, in Egypt gives
the following as an infaible remedy for
the cure of disease. He says.
':As soon as the vomiting and dinrrhGa
commence, place the legs of the patient up
10 the knee in wafer not too hot 10 touch :
throw in six or seven handsiul of coarse

minutes, according 10 the sex or age of the

During this time keep the water of the

warm water. The natural animal heat of

APPROVED MODE TO WASH WHITE
CLoruEs.-To two quarts of water, add one
pound of soap, cut up fine. Boil il over
a slow fire till dissolved. Then add Tour
table spoon fulls Of spirits of turPentine,
and let it COOL Rub the clothes with this
preparation; and afterwards put them into
water, sufficiently warm, as if TO wash, and
lei them remain i'm the water about fifteen
minutes. Remove them from that water
and lay them in clean cold water Tor htteen
minutes more. Put them again INTO the
warm water and scald them. Take them
out for examination. They will require
very little rubbing. Lay them in fresh
water over night, and then rinse them out
in blue water. They will be fine and
white, and you will not regret having tired
the experiment.

PAYING FOR IT.-The people OF the
Province of New Brunswick are reduced
pretty much to bankruptcy and have just
discovered the reason for it. They pay
their Governor an annual salary larger than
the salaries of the four Governors OF New
York, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, yet these four states have nearly
four millions oil inhabitants, while New
Brunswick has little over two hundred
thousand. In other words they pay about
twenty times as much per man.

The Potato Redistribution OF
Varieties.

! The following suggestions are by the ed
itor of the Boston CuItivator, and we think
are as well adapted to the MERIDIAN of
Ohio as of Massachusetts,:
In all improvements in vegetables and
animals, the most ellectuaI and economical
is to propagate from the best kind or breed.
In some cases an ear of corn, a few Of POI
tatoes, or pint of wheat, TO begin with,
may make an improvement of 10 or 20 per
cent in the farmers whole crops of these
| productions, and So of other crops. One
animal may improve a whole breed or flock
10 or 30 per cent, and The extra income be
more in Il single year than the cost Of the
fine animal that produces SO important re-
suits.
Now we ad!ise farmers to apply this
rule as remedy, in some measure, for the
potato rot Cultivate those kinds that roi
the least, carefully selecting such as are
productive and OF good quality. This SUBJ
ject has not received proper attention. Gen.
orally, those potatoes that rot most are Gull
tivated 10 the greatest extent. Chenangoes,
Long Reds, Carriers. Dean or Vetoes are
among the number.
We cultivated 80 or 40 kinds, last year,
with exact experiment, treating all alike, in
the same soil, and the above kinds were
among those most susceptible 10 decay.
This year we made an exact experiment
on 80 kinds, and when we dug them abont
three weeks ago, there was very little rot
indeed among them; one kind, the Stock
bridge IA new variety, the receipt of which
we acknowledged last spring. had rotted
more than all the rest.
Various experiments are necessary to as
certain how far variety Of potatoes is lia-
BILE to rot, and the comparative tendency of
different varieties 10 this malady. One year
an early variety might rot the most, another
year late variety, and perhaps the third
year., kind of medal time of rpening might
be the most affected. So many and various
experiments are necessary, in order To get
the knowledge we need, TO enable us to use
the best remedy against the rot. Yet a sin
gle experiment is of importance, as it would
induce us to cultivate mostly, the hardest
kinds, and we would continue our expert
ments as a guide for future action, and thus
go on. learning from our own experience,
and that of others, till we can fix on a few
valuable varieties OF potatoes, that are in a
great measure proof against the disease

| The unhappy wretch lay groaning
aloud, alone in the midst of an interim
nable waste, abandoned to desperation
and despair, .When the bark of a small
prairie dog attracted his attention.
Once more he charged his rifle, for the
little creature was in sight, with its nose
llited just above the mound surrounding
Its hole. The starving MAN lay pros
trate upon the earth, took slow and eau
tlous aim at the dog and was fortunate
enough to knock it out of lis hole with
broken back; but before he could
reach the spot, the dying creature had
wriggled back into his hiding place and
disappeared. With his ten fingers, the
desperate man raked up the earth, and
succeeded in dragging the dying dog
out upon the grass, where without to
finish his agony, he tore its warm flesh
with his teeth, like wolf, y lille the ex-
plring creature was still biting at his
fingers.
This unnatural sustenance restored
the dropping man, and he was enabled
toresume his wanderings. which he CON
tlaued for three more DAYS and nights.

After four days travel the poor trader
reached his friends again, aud was wei

the evening of his loss search was made
in all directions and signal guns fired,
which he would have heard, had he not
been lying insensible by the bufialos
skeleton. Search was also continued
upon the succeeding days, as the cara
van moved along, but his wandering had
been SO irregular, tending in far and
opposite direction, that it was impossi-
bic to trace him. The five days suffer

solitude; alone in vast domain of sky
