To PREVENT SNEEz1SG.-A correspondent of
the London Medical Gazette states, that to close
the nostrils with the thumb and finger during ex-
piration, leaving them free during inspiration,
will relieve fit of coughing in short time. In
addition to the above, we state from personal
knowledge, that to press the finger on the up
per lip, just below the nose, will make the Sc

off harmlessly. We have found the remedy use

PLATo.-Where there is great compass of wit,
we usually find exceencies that combine easily
in the living man, but in description appear in
compatible. The mind of Plato is not to be ex-
hibited by Chinese catalogue, but is to be APP
pretended by an original mind in the exercise
Of its original power In him the freest aban-
donment is united with the precision of geom-
eter His daring imagination gives him the
more solid grasp Of facts, as the birds of highest
fight have the strongest alar bones. His patri-
clan polish, his intrinsic elegance edged an
irony so subtle that it stings and paralyses.
According to the old sentence, i" If Jove should
descend to the earth he would speak in the
style of Plato. ."--Ralph Waldo Emerson.

DEBT.-Some unfortunate biped who has had
experience in the pertinacity of creditors, says
Debt is a perfect bore. How it haunts man
from pillar to post, lurking in his breakfast
cup, poisoning his dinner, embittering his tea !!
how it stalks from him like living moving
skeleton, seeming to announce his presence by
recounting the amount of liabilities How it
poisons his domestic joys, by introducing its
internal " balance" into the calculation of ma
dam respecting the price of new carpet or
new dress! How it hinders dreamy plans for
speculations and accumulations Botheration
How it hampers useless energies-cripples re-
solutions too good to be fulfilled.
At bed and board, by night or by day, in joy
or grief, in health or sickness, at home OF
-debt-grim, gaunt, and shadowy, falls
as an incumbrance. As no presence is too
sacred, no ground is too holy to deter the me-
mory of "bills and notes payable" from taking
immediate possession, so no record is so enli-
vening, no reminiscence more delicious than the
consciousness that debt has fallen, like q Janu-
ary morning, twenty degrees below zero

A curious incident occurred the other day in
the Elysian Fields, Paris. A lady jumped from

it in her bosom. The gentleman Immediately

man to go to certain hospital. The Police
went to the hospital, but no wounded woman
was there No trace of the parties have been

CHLoRoFoRa.-The London Atheneum says
that only two cases have been brought before
the courts Of law of attempts to give chloroform
with felonious intent: "and BOTH" it adds,
"were gross failures" One of these cases, it
says, happened in Kendall, where a clever fel-
low got into the bedroom Of man whom he
wished to rob, but instead Of quietly carrying
off his watch and money, as less scientific
thief would have done he attempted to give the
sleeping man dose Of ether, which Of course
awoke him, and the thief was arrested The
other was the case of young man who at
tempted to etherize his sweetheart; but she
tore the handkerchief from her mouth, cried
out for the police, and gave the experimenter in
charge-who was at once given up to her in
marriages. a reward for his want Of sue
cess.

One of the old-fashioned attorneys practising
in Indiana, insisted on arguing case before
Judge B., after it had been decided. The
Judge repeatedly told the unfortunate attorney
that he would listen to no further argument on
the case "But, may it please your honor"
says the advocate, "your honor will certainly
hear an argument if your honor has decided
wrong" mo" replied the judge; eff you
desire to argue the case any more, take it to
the court of errors" "May it please your
honor, don't see where in the devil I'd go to,
for if this amt court of errors don't know
where to find one"

A REMARKABLE WOMAN. = Yesterday the

REMARKABLE WOMAN. - Yesterday the
widow Wilson, of Shippen street, relict of Capt
Andrew Wilson, was consigned to the grave in
Pine street church-yard. In an address at her
funeral, the Rev. DIR. Brainerd said she was
eighty-six years old, and had worshipped in
Pine street church before the war of the Revo.
luton and ever since that when the British
held possession of Philadelphia, they not only
converted Mrs. Wilson's church into stable
but expelled herself and family from her dwell
ing, southeast corner of George and South
streets, to accommodate British officers that
once sailing with her husband, Mrs. Wilson was
captured on the high seas and taken prisoner
to Jamaica, where her force of will and Ian
guage ayailed to protect a good part of her pro-
perty.
He might have added that she was in the re-
ccipt of two pensions from the General and
State Governments that she kept up an un-
broken interest in all political affairs, and could
sketch to the life prominent politicians thai
her strength of character was unaffected by
years that she carried to life's close, unchanged
by contact with new generations, the peculiari-
ties formed in the early days of our land and
the most stormy period of our history. She
was character at once so unique and resolute,
that she would have been treasure to the
genius of Walter Scott; and we could not allow
her to pass from among US without this tribute
to her memory.-Phila. ". Amer. Of yesterday.

by getting into a fight in Sansome street, San

A LIGHTHOUSE FOR A WINDFALL.-At an auc-

custom-house, the other day, a German by the
name of Lutz is said to have bought cases con-
tanning large wheels and machinery; but, as
the cases had not been opened, it was not known
precisely what the contents were. Being good
| large ones, however, some presenting surface
of some seven feet by five, and seeming well
filled and heavy, the German bid the round sum
of FIVE hundred dollars for them, and had them
knocked down to him. When he came to open
the boxes he found that they contained the COM
pletc apparatus for a lighthouse, all in good
order, and which is said to be worth from
twenty to thirty thousand dollars.-N Y. Post.

Sleeping after dinner is bad practice. On
