THE DwELLERs IN THE ALPS.

Mr.. C. L. Brace, whose Imprisonment
and adventures in Hungary have placet
him prominently before the American pub
Tic, within the past few months, writes a
follows to the Hartford Times, in regard to
the people of the Alps:
ri suppose most OF US, from French 70
mances, or some equally reliable source
have vague impression Of the simplicit,
and unworldly nature ofthe dwellers Of the
Alps. We picture beautiful pastoral life
of people unspoilt by the worl d amid those
mighty works of nature -guileless shep'
| herds in broad Swiss bonnets, and Chamoi:
hunters, who talk in simple rural styles
The truth is, however, they are one OF the
sharpest people on the eartl-they altogeth.
er outdo the Yankees IN making caPitar
of their grand mountains and waterfalls
There is no glen so remote where you wal
not find "short ways" of finishing Swiss
scenery and paying francs. You cannot es.
cape 10 solitude SO wild that little boys
with wooden shamois, or girls with bunch
es of flowers, or men with plans and draw
ings, do not follow you, brawling the price
in our ears. You settle yourself down by
a wild waterfall, to enjoy the solitary scene
by yourself, and you will not be there iif-
teen minutes without having polite offer
from above to let out the water at so much
runt ~
"You ascend lofty mountain peake,
with the snow around you, and the clouds
beneath, and you will be sure to find some
ruddy faced, well dressed boy or girl there,
to beg from the stranger, where the only
possible reason for giving would be, that
they looked so happy and comfortable. Let
yourselves be caught in one OF the "gulle-
less" mountain cottages, and you will pay
price in the morning such as you would
hardly in the best hotels in the cities
"All this is quite natural, in country
which is the highway and place of amuse-
ment for all nations and whichis poor enough
itself. and is not at all to be complained OF
by the traveller. It is only worth knowing,
as a fact The Swiss are certainly mer-
cenary people, and no apology can free
them entirely from the charge. Thrifty,
brave, faithful, they have always been too
ready 10 sell the use of their virtues to any
sort Of bidder. At this very moment the
worst despotism in Europe, one which IN
its unheard of barbarities and oppression,
has called forth an indignant appeal from a
High Tory Member of the English House
Of Commons, the Neapolitan Government,
is alone supported on the bayonets OF Swiss
Republic ans. During my journey, l was
strpck with This. The whole attention of
the public and the newspapers were con-
centrated on the question of the refugees
that is, whether the poor exiles from tyran.
nv should be expelled from Switzerland, at
the demand of Austria s. Prussia. The result
was. that in private way, every one OF
them nearly was safely sent out OF the coun.
try. aud made TO seek new home again."

| DREADFUL MORTALITY IN THE CANARIEs
The recent terrible epidemic at the Cana
ries is described wildly by the correspon
dent of the Picayune:
History does not record anything so sat
as the spectacle which the Island of Crane
Canary has presented, and still presents
The best directed pen attempts in vain tc
relate such rnisfortunes and horrors, and
words would not be sufficient to depict then
intensity.
The epidemic, supposed to be the chole-
ra, ragged with such fury that the inhaoi-
tants in CONSERVATION abandoned the town,
without caring for any thing but theiI
persons, to such an extent that they even
forgot the ties of blood. Death surprised
them in the midst of their flight, so that the
roads were covered with corpses over which
not tear of friendship or of filial or frater-
nal love was shed because terror had smotll-
cred every sentiment except that OF sell
preservation. As was to be expected, the
fugitives, carrying with them the fatal germ
infamed the country, which became the
theatre of the most horrible scenes.
The beasts abandoned in the city perish
ed for want of food, and the decomposition
of their bodies, together with that OF the hu-
man corpses which remained unburied in
the streets vitiated tbe'atmosphere to such
an extent that any unfortunate person who
might return to the city fell dead almost as
soon as he entered house. However, this
was stopped as soon as possible oy the en-
ergetic measures taken by the worthy mill
tary Governor, and by the humanity of the
second Alcalde of the Corregidor and varl-
Gus young men, many Of whom fell victims
to their heroism.
AS soon as the Commanaant General OF
the province learned the abandonment OF
the city of Las Palmas, he sent portion OF
the garrison of the capital to bury the dead,
but the greater portion of the soldiers were
attacked by the epidemic and died. In
short, in order to give an idea of the rava-
ees of the pest, it is only necessary to state
that in two months, 5000 persons died in
the city of Las Palmas, and $1,000 IN the
whole island. Up to the last dates, the
plague had spared the towns OF Agaeta and
Fejeda.
AT the last dates, August 18th, the cpl
demic abated considerably in the city,
though it still ragged in the country.

How TO CURE CoLD.-Of all other
means of curing colds fasting is the most
eaectual. Let whoever has cold eat moth
ing whatever for two days, and his cold
will be gone, provided he is not confined in
bed, because by taking no carbon into the
system by food, but consuming that surplus
which caused his disease by breath,he soon
carries off his disease by removing the
cause. This will be found more ef1ectual
if he adds copious water drinking to pro-
tracted fasting. By the time person has
tasted one day and night he will experience
freedom from pain and clearness Of
mind, in delightful contrast with that men.

Boards Mr.. Andrew Jackson Davis
the seer, comes out in the Hartford Times
in favor of men wearing their boards. He
says the hairs of tie beard are dtiniations
or combinations oHnerves; those of the
hard coating and membrane of the eye are
connected with the beard on the upper lip,
and when that is shaved off the nerves are
exposed to injury; some diseases OF the eye
he attributes to shaving. In women, these
nerves, instead OF terminating in the up
per lip are buried i'll the cheeks, and have
much to do in controlling the phenomenon
of blushing. Bronchitis and maladies of the
lungs are produced by shaving off the beard
on the chin. Mr.. Davis also argues that
mustachios are no obstacle in the way
of eating, or any other function in which the
lips are employed.

j@ A jewish divorce was granted in this
city a few days ago. 1t is the first case that
has occurred here during thirteen years,
The applicant was the husband. The mode
of untying the knot is simple. The aggriev-
ed party lays the case before the chief Rab-
bi who selects two other Rabbis and the
three hear the statement, call witnesses,
and. if satisfied that there are grounds for
divorce, give to the suitor writing twelve
lines-no more nor Lesson Parchment
This is signed by witnesses, who also see
that this party delivers it to the party GRIM
mated. When this has been done the sep
Grafton is complete, though the parties can
be remarked if they wish; but if the wife,
for instance, should marry another man,
and he should die, the former husband can
not again marry her. The woman in this
case is not Je wess by birth or education.
She was connected with no church. Shortly
after her marriage she appealed most ur-
gently to the Rabbis here to be admitted to
the Jewish faith. After considerable oppose
tion her wish was granted This is very rare,
and only one other instance has occured,so
