In the first number of the New Orleans Month.
IN Medical Regis,er-whith ~ noticed a few
days ago--we find an article by Professor Stone
on the virtues Of phosphate of lime in scrofula
and other depraved states of the system, . which
Is OF some moment Ii was suggested by an
essay In the London Lancet on the physoopy
and pathology Of the oxalate and phosphate OF
lime, and their relation to the formation Of
cells"
The conclu ions of the author (says Profess
sor Stone) are based upon careful chemical re-
search and results from the use Of the remedy
Ills researches show that in man, as we'll AZ in
vegetables and inferior animals, phosphate of
lime. as we'll as albumen and fat is absolutely
essential for the formation of cells, and he con.

not mere local effecton; infantie atrophy in
those suffering from ricketts, and consequent al.

Struck by this article Professor Stone testad
it, and he describes three cases in which its v;r.

TIE ELECTRO MAGNETIC EseINE.-A very in
teresting exhibition Of the powers of the pal
vanc battery, as applied to engineering, took
place at the Broadway Tabernacle on Tuesday
evening" before an audience chiefly made up of
literary and scientific men, present by invitation.
We noticed among those present, Mr.. Erickson,
the inventor of the propeller, Mr.. Dufant, the
aeronaut, Major Gen. Sanford Gen. Hail. and
others variously distinguished.
The engine exhibited was of the stationary
kind; in appearance not unlike the steam en-
gine, being provided with connecting rod.

equal to that of eight horses. Upon the mo.
tive power being applied by means of wire
communicating with battery of fifty plates,
brilliant corruscstions of electric light were
emitted, accompanied by quick sue ession cf
sounds much like a volley of pistol shots, and
the engine was at once put in rapid motion.

WILD BOAR KmLED.-We are informed that
on Thursday last very large wild boar was
killed near the plantation of Mrs. Mary Mar.
shall, six miles from this city, by a party of
hunters who went in pursuit Of him. He had
rendered himself notorious by his numerous
dervedations, and was the terror of all the ne
groes in the surrounding neighborhood A
party of men, accompanied by number Of dogs,
started in persuit Of him on Thursday msrning,
and succeeded In bringing him to bay. A des-
perate fight soon took place between the dogs
and the boar. Three of the dogs were killed
IN few moments, one of whom had his head
completely severed from his body by single
stroke of the boar, which was finally killed by a
rifle ball. He weighed 46s pounds. His skin
was near an inch in thickness, and his tusks were
AZ inches in length. He measured three feet
across his shoulders. Sapannah Ne,os.

from the Tampco Defensor Of the 9th ult that
quite an exciting debate took place on the st

A HARD CAsE.-The Pennsylvania States
man says: That on Wednesday, a man named
William Jones living in Philadelphia, with his
wife and five ch ldren, was turned into the street
by his landlord, Robert l. Corey for non-pay-
ment of rent On Thursday morning, the whole
family were found by the marshars police, along
side of an old burnt stone house. They had
remained there without shelter, all night, and
were shvering with cold, and half famished
Jones, the father of the family, is shoemaker,
but, in consequence of extreme i'll health, has
been unable to pay his way His wife is repre-
sented as very fine woman. One of his child

people. Their case is one that may justly excite
both commisseration and charity. Loud com.
plants are made against both the landlord and
the officer who dispossessed them, under the
peculiar circumstances"
The above is good specimen of the result
OF freedom among the white population. There
are numberless instances of the same kind, even
in this country of boasted wealth and liberty
though few such cases come before the public
and the fewer, because when fault, however
trivial, can be found, il is at once alleged against
the unfortunate, in order to shut out all commits

thirty years old, and although for many years

attributes the bearing of this tree to his having

of other trees on his plantation. This, we

this country. We know Of several trees grow

Barnum and Lola MOntez.

Originating in some Paris correspondence
published in boston, the newspapers have been
stating that Barnum had engaged Lola Montez
the great European socialist in petticoats, and
beautiful Bvarian exile, to come to the United
States. and dance some republican dances, and
get up new edition of the Jenny Lind furore
Barnum, it seems, did not exceed, and according.
ly, he issues the following pronunciameno in an
evening psper;
No. A WARREN STREET, Oct. 90.
SIR A paragraph IS going the round of the
papers, credited to the Mirror, stating that LIE
Grand Saith has engaged Lola Montez for the
United States. In justice to that gentleman, !
wish to state, once for all, that " there is not
one word of truth in this report" LIE Grand
Smith has been managing the Bateman children
for me during their late highly successful en-
gagement at the St. James theatre In London /;
and he is now experimenting their performances
in the royal theatre, Edinburg, and intends maxi
ing the tour of Great Britain and returning with
them to this country sone time next year. Ap-
plications were made to me from Lola Montez,
through her agent in Paris, but they were
peremptorily declined. Truly yours,
P. It. BARNUM
Now, we happened to be residing in Paris,
during all these negotiations, and know all the
facts, and shall therefore detail them.
We learned on the best authority that LIE
Grand Smith and Lola Montez had entered into
a negotiation, for the purpose Of engaging the
Bavarian exile, to come to the United States,
and travel through the country, under the man.
agement of Barnum. Lola Montez made some
enquiries about the historical "reminiscences of
Barnum, beginning with Joyce Heath and end
ing probable with the fire annihilator, and she
declared positively that Mr.. Barnum should not
have her services, for he was too much of hum
bug
In consequence of her refusal to complete
the engagement she received letters from GER
tain parties in London, informing her that if she
went to the Unithe States, under any other en-
gagement than that of Barnum, the vast in
fuence he could use would bring out the Ameri-
can journals against her. She replied that she
did not care about him-that she had met kings,
and politicians, and poets, and had upset them
aIl-and that she could upset Barnum too. BY
the last accounts received from Paris, we have
seen that she challenged an editor, who spoke
disrespectfully of her state of dancing, and as
soon as she arrives in this city, Barnum may
expect a challenge to mortal combat, with any
weapons he chooses.
Meantime, We may state for the information
of the public, that according to the best and most
reliable intelligence we could obtain in Paris,
Lola Montez comes TO this country on her own
hook" and that she has engaged Mr. Edward
Willis, brother Of N. p, Wills, TO be her prin-
cipal msnager and secretary. All her move
ments, therefore, may be expected TO be re-
ported accurately in the Home .journaL

y AsHiNurON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1851,

s4g- The turn things have taken with the dis
tinguished Hungarian leader we very much re-
gret. To mind there seems TO be much in
all this of clashing of vanity. KossuTH has
at all times had great admiration for England.
During the course of the Hungarian struggle,
he on several occasions very pointedly showed
his feelings in that respect Released from his
captivity, one of his first desires has been to
proceed to Engla to express to the people,
who so well appreciated the merit of his nations
trials, and who scorned to receive that wholesale
murderer, HAYEAU. his heartfelt and grateful
thanks for their noble and just appreciation of
righteous cause.
To America he would next proceed, to thank
her people, for whom his admiration is not an
iota less intense; indeed, we will venture to say
iti even greater For no man is better capable
of judging Of the real character and tendencies
of people, than the man who, while having
constitutional England before him, and ever ad-
miring her the mother Gn a measure) of
American liberty, did not fail to initiate rather
the purer form of government prevailing in this
country, than the mixed and inconsistent forms
of the other.
KossUrH, no doubt feels himself destined yet
TO emancipate his country. What more pardon
able enthusiasm What more rational view OF
political affairs in Europe And yet some pitt
full fellows are to he found detracting from his
conduct and character, because he holds those
good and common sense opinions.
But it so happens that the American frigate,
generously sent to bring KossUTH away from
Turkey, has no orders to take him to England
Hence jarring and contention, which jealousy
exaggerates, and thousand -topgued malice seizes
upon to crafty its meauness, now that the great
man is free. We know that military and naval
men, however amable, are great sticklers for
obeying orders, fulfilling their duty, &c. This
is all very well. Weregret only that desire so
natural in KossUTH, should not have bsen fore
seen; and that, with heart and hand, the officers
and crew of the Mississippi could not have
Joined v it'll the British in honoring him at
Southampton az they would afterwards have
done in this country.
The charge of irritability brought against
KossUTH is unworthy. 1t is true he has suffered
much, but due allowance does not seem to us to
be made for him.

HARVESTING POTATOES.

Nh. EDlToR:-I regard it as very
bad practice to allow potatoes to dry, al
ter removing them from the soil. AS
soon as dug, they should be removed at
once, and with all possible dispatch to
the bins. Here they should be covered
with small quantity of moist soil, and
protected as fully as possible from the
air.-Potatoes that Lave been exposed
for any length of time to the suns rays,
assume a greenish hue, and sickly
sweetish taste, resembling that of cop
per. In this state certain principle in
the tuber becomes poison, and otcourse
the potato is in that condition not only
repugnant to the taste, but an in ury
when eaten, to the health. When grown
in wet soils, from which the crop cam
not be taken without a portion Of it adj
herring to the tubers, as much of the plas
tic soil as convenient should be reno
we'd; but they should never be exposed
to the process of drying. Light, if too
freely admitted to the bins, after the
roots have been housed, will effect a
most rapid and serious deterioration of
the crop. 1t is important, therefore,
that this principle be as much as posi-
bic excluded. When it may be desira-
Bile, from any cause, to admit light to
the other parts of the cellar covering
of straw may be placed over the bins.
This will setlectually secure them, and
may, in cold seasons, be of great service
IN protecting them from frost.

Vitality of SEEDS.

of the Baltimore Sun, in d letter to that

Hrecrived last winter two seeds, said

folds Of the Egyptian mummy which
Mr.. Ghddon unrolled in Boston. The
mummy was supposed to be one of the
Pharaohs. It proved to be priestess,
and to be more than thirty centuries
old.
"The seeds were shaped something
like pearl harley, and of that size, and
were Of a dark tinge, asl coloFed by
the same preparation which had been
used in the process Of enbalning
al planted the two seeds in flower
pot III the spring. They terminated,
grew finely, and one Of the plants bears
hundred or more grains. The other is
more back ward, and is still IN flower.
The leaf resembles maize. 1t may be a
species Of ilet.~--Ihe land of Egypt
the granarv OF ancient times-must, Of
course, have been cultivated with grain,
which, for that climate and soil was
very productive and nutritious. II was
hardly worth the while Of the pricstess
to have taken with her these two small
emblems Of the resurrection, unless they
were valued grains"
