THE ONE PLANK.-A Russian ship
of war was overtaken by a violent
storm on the coast Of Kamtschatka,
stranded and dashed to pieces upon a
reef. A sailor attempted to reach the
shore upon fragment of the wreck.
In little while he perceived one of
the officers, M. Minski. struggling
with the waves. and offered him a
share of his plank. mo, my boy" he
cried, "it is too light for two Of us;
God has given it to you; keep it, and
go and tell my wife that ! die with
her upon my mind" The sailor urged;
the Officer again declined. This noble
conduct lasts an instant; when. seeing
his superior determined to refuse this
anchor of safety, the sailor pushed the
plank with all his force towards him.
and sank in the waves. The officer
was preserved.

TREATMENT OF SCARLET FEVER,

NEATMENT OF SCAWLET TEVER--
Important Prescriptions. DR.. Lindsly,
of Washington, strongly recommends
the mode Of treatment OF scarlet fever,
resorled to by DR.. Schneemann, ply
stefan to the King of Hanover. 1t is
as follows. and exceedingly simple:
Treatment of Scarlet Fsucr by In
unction. From the first day of the
illness, and as soon as we are certain
OF lis nature, the patient must be rub.
bed morning and evening over the
whole bocy with a piece Of bacon, in
such a manner that, with the excep-
ton OF the head, a covering Of fat is
every where applied. In order to
make this rubbing in somewhat easier,
it is best to take piece of bacon the
size OF the hand, choosing part still
armed with the rind, that we may
have a firm grasp. On the sof, side
OF this piece Sits are to be made, in
order to allow the ooziny out Of the
fat. The rubbing must be thoroughly
performed, and not too quickly, il
order that the skin may be regularly
saturated with tbs fat. The bcncficia
results Of the application are soor
obvious; with rapidity bordering or
magic, all, even the most painful
symptoms of the disease are aIIayed
quiet, sleep, good humour, appetite
return. and there remains only the
Impotence to quit the sick room.

MATTERS IN PADDUCAM--We pub
lished despatch last week, giving an
account of the shooting by Mrs. Caro-.
line Fuller. of a man named Doscn.
berry. The Padducah Journal gives
a detailed account of the affair:
Mrs. +. alleges that Dosenberry,
who boarded at her house. had come
into her bedroom while her husband
was at market, and attempted to VIC
late her person; not succeeding, he
left the house before Mr.. Fu|er's re-.
turn. She informed her husband, and
declared her intention to avenge her.
self. Accordingly, at her instigaton,
her husband procured a revolver,
which he loaded and gave her. Dosen.
berry was sent for. and when he got
in the hall Mrs. F. stepped to the
parlor door, and fired. Dosenberry
retrea,cd 10 the yard, pursued by Mrs.
+ who fired upon him as he was get.
ting over the fence. She discharged
some four balls at him, one of which
took effect near the small of his back,
passing almost through him. The
ball was extracted. and the man is
doing well, though IN a periI"us condI.
ton. He asseveratcs his innocence
Of the act charged upon him, and says
that Fuller and his wife wished to
make way with him to prevent un-
pleasant disclosures concerning them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller were arrested
ON Saturday and taken before Judge
Fowler. Fuller was taken to Jail,
and his wife entrusted to a guard and
permitted to remain at home. On
Sunday night she gave her guard the
slip, and made her escape.

But while the members Of Congress from the

Tending these as exact TRANSACTIONS of sofa, it is
sufficiently apparent that it has not been regarded
as meaning muddy or turbid
The Missouri river is called by the Dskotas
Mnne-shoSha, which means muddy or disturbed mater
Although the water of the Saint Peters is not
pellucid when compared with the Mississippi
it is certainly clear when compared with the
Missouri. We have long supposed that the wa
ter of the Minnesota might be regarded as slightly
riled, or rolled as Webster spelsit but even that
idea is hardly sustained by the other uses of the
word sofa
In regard to its meaning in connection with
water, have consulted several persons who have
been frequently employed in defining Dakota
words They agree in referring, for the radical
idea of sofa to the nhaHh appearance which the
Saint Peters has, compared with the Mississippi.
at its junction with the Father of Waters.
We are thus brought to the conclusion that
Minnesota must mean comparatively clear or nrhi-
tish Wdtsr.
Notwithstanding your correspondent says,
Minnesota should always be written with two

interest in the fair name Of this Territory, having
resided in it thirteen years, as to desire to wipe
off this muddy stain.
MIME means mdter. Sofa means compare
tuely clear or mhuish as will appear from observ-
ing its use in the Dakota language.
Soia is used In reference to the entire disap-
pcarance Of the geese and ducks in the fall ofth
year and also to express the idea Of being used
