LEAP FOR LIFE. AS the supervisor of inland
revenue at Aberystwith, MIR. J. Miller, his nephew
ard two professional gentlemen geoiegsts' were las
week examining strata of rocks In the ellis be-
tween Aberystwth and Llanrthystd, they proceeded
along narrow ledge of projecting rock on the face
of the cliff about l20 feet above the level OF the sea
which providentially happened to be at full how In
passing round projecting angle, which for ages has
frowned upon all below, the professor and revenue
officer had rounded the point, and the young man was
in the act of doing when the rock suddenly break
inc from under his feet he whirled around with
his face to the sea, and he descended he seized
with one hand the ledge beneath his unce's feet,
while he extended the other hand to him; and 1t was
firmly clasped by the revenue officer who held him
suspended for tnl five minutes, during which time
he with great difficulty maintained his position, there
being but six inches to stand upon.
AT length breathless pause ensued, whilst Mr..
Miller gazed rugged projection OF rock about ~
feet below them which he concluded the untortu-
nate youth inevitably doomed to be dashed But
the uncle (who calls him s. awful coward y at
length said, with all the calmness mag Unable, Tom,
there's bot one way for it; I'll you, will
both perish together,'' and with firm e he COM
manded the young to loose his hold of the rock,
which was mechanically obeyed, with faint reply,
" Yes, uncle.' At this awful moment Mr.. Miller
horzontcally spramg into the air, carrying the young
man with him. and such the force with which
he leaped that the check caused them to throw sew

ed together.
With the rapidity of flash of lighting they disap-
peared beneath the foamng bows having cleared
the craggy ledge which projected more than six feet
from the perpendicular of the point over which the
youth was suspended. To the delight of their COM
panions who were momentarily horror struck, they
about twenty yards apart, buffetng the heavy
swells of the flowing and returning waves; at length
they struck out tor rock that lay about seventy
yards in the sea, on which they seated and from
which they gave three hearty cheers. Their COM
panons attempted TO procure their rescue by obtain
ing boat, but owing to The breach in the ledge found
it impossible, and they had TO proceed onward for
than three hours before they able to extr

To their delight, the biologists then found that

Reasons FOR KEEPING THE TEETH CLEAN. At a

the effects of different agents in causing their reno

been made of the matter deposited the teeth and

and of the vegetable or two. In fact, the only
persons whose mouths were found to be completely
free from them, cleaned their teeth four times daily
using soap once. One two of these individuals
also passed thread between the teeth to clense them
more effectually. In all cases the number OF the
parasites greater in proportion to the neglect OF
cleanliness The effect of the application OF various
agents was also noticed. Tobacco juice and smoke
did not impair their vitality in the least. The

MR.. BUCHANAN TOO SOUTHERN .

While we regard any active agitation of the ques-
lion OF The next Presidency the part of the Demo
crazy, as entirely premature at this time, and for
some time to come, yet we have than once in
tmated our preference for Mr.. Buchanan the Dem
ocratc candidate. all other statesmen belonging
to the party. 1t is true We do not accord with MIR.
Buchanan in all his views of the question of slavery,
which alore, of all the elements which will probably
enter into the next Presidential canvass, can throw
any obstacle In the of the harmonious of
the great Democratic party of the country; but
presume no northern man can be found whose views
upon the abstract question of that institution would
conform to own, to the views of the great
OF the Southern wing of the party. Nor is it at all
necessary that entire identity and harmony of
views upon this abstract theory should exist between
the candidate and the party. But it is vitality
sary that, touching the powers of the Federal Gov
eminent over the question of slavery, and the rights
of The States interested in that institution, there
should be entire identity of feelings and views on
the part of the Democratic candidate with the feel
ings and views of the Southern Democracy. In other
words-that the Democratic candidate, come from
whatever section of the country he may, be able
to present, in his official actons satisfactory evidence
of his opposition to all interference the part of
Congress- officers of the Federal Government with
the question of slavery, either in the States in the
common territories of the country. We believe that
James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, is the who
present, above all other Northern men, the strong
est evidences of soundness upon these points. AS
early 1887 he took position in Congress against
the agitation of the slavery question, and in favor of
the exclusive right of the States manage their own
domestic concerns in their way, which should
endear him to every Southern man. And had the
principles laid down in his speech of that year, upon
this subject, been respected and adhered by Con-
gress and the country, the dangerous crisis upon
u.s. and the evils enailed upon the South by the le-
gisation of the last Congress- would have been en-
rely averted-the rights and honor of the South
ed, and the Perpetuity OF the Union unendangered-l

no faith in the stability of the Mexican govern

to secure form Of government that will be
more durable and afford greater security.

Fruit Trees by the Roadside.

The practice of setting out fruit trees by the
roadside cannot be too highly recommended
In many parts Of Europe t is practice is general,
and the fatigued traveller acknowledges the well
timed hospitality thus afforded him. The ex-
cuse is often made that the fruit will he stolen

fruit taken by wayfarers would only be what
common hospitality would grant; and in Ger

be available by such practice, and nothing but
extreme solfshness will prevent the use of these

Dr.covERY IN SuRsERY.--A Prussinn named
Aran is said to have recently made discovery in
surgery that is exciting considerable interest in
the scientific circles OF Berlin. IL is the appica-
tion of chlorine to relieve pain. Unlike choro-
form, it can be used without the least danger to
the patient, and is very edectua in its operation.
From the account, small quantity of the fluid
(from ten to twenty drops) is dropped on the part
affected, or on a lint bandags slightly moistened
with water, and then applied, and all bound up in
oil silk, and linen band. After from two to ten
minutes the part becomes insensib'e, and the pain
is no longer felt, whether ii be from rheumatic,
nervous or other disorders. After a time it re-
turns again, but usually weaker, and with several
application it is often entirely relieved. The dis
coverer has presented memorial on the subject
to the Academy at Paris.
