A CHEAP DIsINFEcTING AGENr-A cor. respondent in the Cleveland Herald gives the following piece of intelligence, well worth remembering:
 Heat a shovel not quite to redness, and then place upon it teaspoonful of freshly burned coffee, and let it burn in room where the air is impure. At first you will not perceive the peculiar odor of tke coffee at all; in few moments, however, you will find that the room is filled with the smell of the coffee, and that every impurity of the atmosphere has been totally destroy. ed-not smothered. Let some of your sci entifc readers try it, where the air is pecu. iiarly foul, and note the results and explain the moduS operandi of the disnfecting pro- cess
 Remember the shovel must be only so hot as to cause the coffee to burn with a copous white smoke, and the quantity in- dicated above may be needed To the sick the odor of the coffee is peculiarly grateful.

VACANCY FOR A DoCToR.-Greiner, the Indian agent in New Mexico, wrote home on the 3Ist of March, that he knew of an opening for an enterprsing physician; one vacancy had happened, and he told how One of the Eutaws on the San Juan River was taken sick, and an Indian doctor on the Rio Verde was called in to attend him. Owing to the strength of the disease, or to the weakness of the prescription of the doc tor, the patient died and was buried. Af- ter the funeral the doctor was taken by the friends of the deceased, tied up, shot anc scalped-his wife's hair was cut off, his house burned, containing all his property and all his animals killed. This is the law among these Indians regulating doctors.- The vacancy is yet unified.

TIE COMPROMISE AS A FINALITY.-"The Democratic party of the United States North and South, East and West, are al- most unit on the Compromise: as final settlement of all the agitating matters con-
 nected with the question of African slave ry within the boundaries of the United States. The sentiment of the Democracy of the nation shows that the fnality policy is one that must inevitably be adopted.- This policy grows stronger and stronger every day in the Democratic party of the Union."
 So says the "National Democrat" of Monday. But where is the evidence of
 what it asserts? Is it to be found in the
 proceedings of the Democratic State Con-
 ventions recently held in Virginia, Georgia,
 Louisiana, Florida, California, Arkansas, and Michigan, all of which, when setting
 forth their principles, have been silent on the question of the fnality of the Compro- mise? Is it to be found in the fact that the late Congressional caucus of the democrats refused to recognize the Compromise in any shape or form whatever.

THE DEMOCRACY OF MICHIGAN AND rHr CoMPRoMrsE.-Some days ago we had .
 brief report by telegraph of the doings O the Michigan Democratic State Convention at Detroit on the 2Sth ult The Conven ton unanimously nominated Gen. Cass fol the Presidency, but there was one thing Jeff undone. In the resolutions passed there was no approval of the Compromise-no sign of acquiescence in it. Following the examples set them by their brother Demo- crats in the Southern States, the Democra- cy Of Michigan did not venture to name the Compromise measures in the resolutions adopted by their State Convention. On that great question they are silent. This is significant of the intention of the Demo- crats to adopt the mum policy in their Ma tional Convention.

P Prentice, of the Louisville Journal

DP Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, says:-
 "The seceders from the Whig caucus have met with far less sympathy than they expected. Their conduct, though not se- verely condemned, is thoroughly disapprov- ed of in large majority of the Whig pa pers. Their acts are regarded as very strange, and in some quarters suspicious are expressed as to their fidelity to the Whig party"

U-5 An amusing scene came of at the Commercial Hotel on Tuesday evening. It appears, or at least, it is so told to us, that a gentleman who boarded at the house al- legged that the wife of fellow boarder had formerly been woman of bad character notorously so. The story gained crcua- ton until the lady herself heard it. Having done so, at last, she armed herself with a pistol and COW hide, and on retiring from the tea table having met with her defamer, Mir. O., proceeded to belabor him without mercy. After endeavoring in vain to escape from her, and, we suppose, being unwilling | to strike his assailant, other persons finally interposed and diSarmed the Amazon, when her pistol was found to be unloaded, or at least without cap She declared herself perfectly contented with the vengeance she had taken, and her victim we presume was equally satisfied. Whether Mir. O. was right or wrong in his charges, we cannot see either prudence or goodness of heart in his course. If this woman-Mrs M-had | formerly erred, but was now endeavoring honestly and with amended life to discharge her duty as wite--and against her recent conduct not breath was uttered-What good or generous motive could exist fol running her by exposing her former life She should rather have been encouraged in her efforts to do right, than the story of her former shame industriously and without provocation circulated to crush her and her good intentions with obloquy.
 The woman was endeavoring to compen- sate for previous misconduct-had she been guilty of any-by the most blameless life and propriety. What generosity or manli
 ness was there in any one using his knowl. edge of her errors in at once blasting hel efforts at redeemng the past, destroying her happiness as wife and her good name
 as woman! The act was a cruelty and an outrage which no former immortality on her part can excuse. In such cases it is the duty of true manhood to encourage the | frail in their new and better course, not des.
 troy them with the recalling of their for.
 mer deviations from virtue. To erris human ito forgive divine.-MemphiS Appeal.
