handed us the following recipe for the cure of
Fever and Ague, which, he says, is a certain
one: having entirely cured connexion of his,
who had been afflicted with it for four or five
months. A1er taking remedies, not excepting
arge quantities of quinine she was induced to
try the following which had the desired ef-
feet:
Recipe--3o drops spirit of Hartshorn, 90
drops of Laudanum, and about gill Of old Ja-
inaica rum, diluted with about I-2 a pint of
hot water, to be taken Immediately on the ap-
proach OF chill, the patient retiring to bed and
using plenty of covering.
AS the above dose produces profuse perspi-
ration for several hours, great care should be
taken in removing the wet covering, in order
to prevent taking additional cold The same
care should be observed for several days in re-
gard to exposure to the weather.-N Y. Sun.

The Kossuth Doctrine-A New York cor
respondent of the Journal of Commerce makes
| the following suggestions: . a-#
'To carry out practically the Kossuh doctrine
what would have to be done? Why, the first
step must be something like this. A resolu-
tion must be offered by some one of the mem
bers of Congress so big with love of liberty
for all mankind that they are ready to burst
| something to this effect:
"tResolued, That - millions of dollars
be raised by loan, in order to raise, feed and
equip an army of-hundred thousand men,
and to buy or buid-hundred vessels to
transport such army to the coasts of Russia,
in order to prevent its Emperor, by force ef
arms, from interfering in the coming contest
between Austria and Hungary, he having dis
regarded our polite request made to him TO that
effect 10 .o.D.
"Now, remember that Bonaparte entered Rus
sic with an army of three hundred thousand
men, of which hardly remnant was left to tell
the story its destruction, and that will fur.
nish you with the means of filing up the blanks
in the above resolution. 1t sitting down to fill
up these blanks will not bring every man who
is Kossuth mad to his senses, then he is ncura-

zeon-A Berlin correspondent of the Kolnische
Zeitung states that it is well understood in the
best informed circles of that city, that although
the Gar perfectly approves the usurpation of
Louis Napoleon, he will oppose his assuming
the imperial crown Of his uncle. This opposi-
ton is based on that article of the treaty of
Paris which forbids any Bonaparte from ascen-
ding the throne of France. After approving
the breach of oaths and the abrogation of all
laws by the usurper, this serupalous delieacy
of Nicholas is truly edifying ..- ..
