EGYPTIAN CHARACTERISTICS.

curious race Of people the Egyptians must have been!
Their great end of life was death. They were no sooner born
than they thought about dying. The whole nation seemed to
live in a sort of forcing Pyramid. An Egyptian did not care
SO much where he lodged. so long as he knew where he was to
be buried. His greatest comfort was the idea Of being made a
nice mummy of His card was an rphaph. lie was walking
about with a tombstone continually in his hand. In fact. the
~largeness of the Pyramids is a standing proof. if proof be want
ing, what a set of tremendous underakers the Egyptians were!
Their Present was the Future. This may partly account for
there being so much in advance of other nations. To speak
extravagantly, they seemed to calculate Time with a death
watch, which they wound up with a skeleton key! They made
themselves, in fact, so familiar with Death. that they invited him
to all their feasts, and put him a. the head of the table at all their
weddings. anniversaries, pic.nics, and grand dinners.-Pnnch

SWEDISH LAWS RESPECTING I%NroxIcArIoN.

.us In Sweden, whoever is seen drunk is fined, for the first offence,
three dollars; for the second, third and fourth times, a larger sum,
and is also deprived Of voting at elections, and of being appoint
ed a representative. He is. besides, publicly exposed in the par.
ish church on the following Sunday. II the same individual is
found committing the same offence the fifth time, he is shut up
in the house of correction, and condemned to six months hard
labor; if he is again guilty, to a twelve months punishment Of
"a similar description. IF the offence has been committed in
public, such as at a fair, an auction. &C.. the fine is doubled;
and if the offender has made his appearance at a church, the
punishment is still more severe. Whoever is convicted of hav.
ing induced another to intoxicate himself is fined three dollars,
which sum is doubled if the person is a minor. An exclesiastic
who falls into this offence loses his benefce. If he is alayman
who occupies any considerable post. his functions are suspended,
and perhaps he is dismissed. Drunkenness is never admitted
as an excuse for any crime; and whoever dies when drunk is
buried ANONYMOUSLY and deprived Of the prayers of the church.
It is forbidden to give, and more explicitly to sell, any spurious
liquors TO students, ~workmen, servants, apprentices, or private
soldiers.

.gsI1ah CURIOUS F OF EXCITEMENT.

eS@ga asA young man, twenty three years old, came from the mines
70 San Francisco. with the intention of soon leaving the latter
place for home. On the evening of his arrival, he with his COM
rpanion, visited the gambling saloons. After watching for a time
the varied fortunes OF a table, supposed TO be undergoing the
process OF %"tapping' from the continued success OF those bet
ting against the bank, the excitement overthrow his better judge
ment, and he threw upon the "seven spot Of a new deal, a bag
which he said contained 81 100, his al-the result OF two years
privation and hard labor-exclaimlng. with a voice trembling
from intense excitement, "My home, or the Mines"
SEE. As the dealer slowly resumed the drawing Of the cards, with
his countenance lvd from fear Of the inevitable fate that seems
ever attendant upon the tapping process when commenced, |
turned my eyes upon the young man who had staked his whole
gains upon q card; and never snail ~!orgetthe impression made
by his look Of intense anxiety, as he watched the cards as they
fell from the dealers hands. All the energies Of his system
seemed concentrated in the fixed gaze of his eyes, while the
deadly panor Of his face bespoke the subdued action Of his heart.
All around seemed infected with the sympathetic powers Of the
spell-even the hitherto successful winners forgot their own
stakes in the hazardous chance placed upon the issue Of the bet.
The cards are slowly told with the precision Of high-wrought
excitement. The seven spot wins. The spell is broken-re-
action takes place. The winner exclaimed with a deep drawn
sigh, 81 will never gamble again. and was carried from the
room in a deep swoon, from which he did not fully recover until
the next morning, and then to know that the equivalent surren-
dered for his gain was the color Of his hair, now changed to q
perfect white"

PICKING MEAT.


Prof Refensque denounces the use Of sahpetre in brine in
tended for the preservation OF flesh to be kept for food. That
part Of the saltpetre which is absorbed by the meat, he says, is
nitric acid or aquafortis, a deadly poison Animal flesh, pre-
yous 10 the addition of pickle, consists OF gelatinous and fbrous
substances, the former only possessing a nutritious virtue; the
gelatine is destroyed by the chemical action of satPetre, and,
as the Professor remarks, the meat becomes as different a sub
stance from what it should be, as leather is from the raw hide
before il is subjected to the process of tanning.
He ascribed to the pernicious effects of the chemical change
II oil the diseases which are comment to mariners and others who
subsist principally upon satedmeat-such as scurvy, sore gums,
decayed teeth, ulcers, &c-and advises a total abandonment
of the use Of salpere in the making of pickle for beef. pork,
&c, the best substitute for which is, he says. sugar, a small
quantity rendering the meat sweeter, more wholesome, and
equally as durable.

spring trap door, which suddenly opens and precipitates him
into q dark chamber, in which he can see only one speck Of
light, for that he rushes into another chamber, and by doing so
sets the spring Of the trap door by touching a level, and in this
manner the trap is reset and kept set for any length Of time by
the animals themselves, SO that without any trouble but to the

Since the rescue in Boston of Shad
rach the fugitive from justice, that city
has had one million of dollars of its trade
with the South directed to Philadelphia,
the Southern merchants not relishing so
gross violation of the laws of the Union.
The Bostonians are sensitive people as
far as monetary matters are concerned,
and we took ii for granted that they would
change their notions of things very mate
rally, when it became evident, that their
trade was diminishing through their own
foolish course. But it seems that there
are still to be found in that city,. persons,
who not having the fear OF God before
their eyes, nor the love of their country
at heart, are disposed 10 create unnecess-
Iary excitement on the fugitive question.
A fugitive named Simins has been arrested
there and we annex an account of the
proceedings. 1t connexion with Tins i, is
necessary 10 mention that Hon. Robert
Rantoul, recently elected TO The U. S.
Mr.. Webster, has taken grounds, in a
speech made at Lynn, against the consti.
tutionality of the fugitive slave law, and
thereb has forfeited all claims lie once
had on the Democratic party. The Bos-
ton Post has refused TO support him for a
seat in Congress; we applaud the act and
hope he may meet with the defeat that
his reasonable conduct entltIes him to.
The BosToN SLAVE CAsE-Boston.
.4prH 7.-All day yesterday, the city re-
mained perfectly quiet, and without any
signs or apprehensons of disturbance
A strong police force was kept on hand at
the Court House, and the company of
City Guards were ready for duty at their
armory. The two negroes named Snow
den who were arrested in the Court
Square with pistols and knives concealed
about them, were examined in the Police
Court and held to bail in $500 each for
trial. Wendell Phillips, the noted abol>
zionist, bailed them.
The colored churches in the city were
very thinly attended.
This morning, there was a renewal of
the gathering around the Court House,
where unusual precautions were observed.
There was, however, no disturbance, and
all seemed disposed 10 await the reopen
ing of the Court at IL o'clock at noon.
1t IS supposed that an attempt TO rescue
the slave, should he be sent back, will be
made at some point, between here and
New York. Three companies of military
are still kept under arms.
The sympathisers held meetings yes
terday in Concord, Medford, and Walth-
am, and passed resolutions offering their
assistance to oppose the action of the fu-
gilive slave law, in the case of Sims.
Second Despatch.-In the Supreme
Judicial Court, before Chief Justice Shaw
and his associates, Justices Fletcher, Mel
calf, and Bigelow.
Mr.. Rantoul occupied about one and
half hours this morning, in an argument
in favor of a writ of habeas corpus for
Simms, the alleged fugitive slave.
Mr.. RantouPs argument was simply
reiterating his opinions on the unconstitu-
tionalty of the fugitive slave law, as given
by him in his Lynn speech.
Upon his concluding, Chief Justice
Shaw stated that he would adjourn the
Cour. until o'clock, at which time, if
