THE ROMANCE ON TRADE.-Lundy Foot,
the celebrated snuff manufacturer of Dub.
lin, originally kept small tobacconist's
shop in Limerick, ireland. One night his
house, which was uninsured, was burnt to
the ground. As he contemplated the smok-
ing ruins on the following morning, in a
slate bordering on dispair, some Of the
poor neighbors, cropping among the embers
for what they could end, stumbled upon
several canislers Of unconsnped bat halt
baked snuff, which they tried, and found So
grateful to their noses, that they loaded their
,waistcoat pockets with the spoil,
Lundy Foot, reused from His stupor, al
length initiated their example, and took a
pinch Of his own property, when, he was
instantly struck by the superior pnpgency
and flavor it had acquired from tbs great
hsat to which it had been exposed. Treas.
uring UP this valuable hint, he took another
house in place called "Back Yard" and
preparing large oven for the purpose, set
diligently about the manufacture of that
high dried, commodity, which soon became
kno Sn as Back Yard Snuff term sub.
stanlially corrupted into the more familiar
word OF 'Blackguard."
Lundy Foot, making his customers pay
Literally through. The nose for one of the
must .'disiinguishedAk kinds of snuff ia the

ton, iook large house in the city Of Dub

PARIS, Thursday, Oct. Z.
One of the greatest curiosilies ia me-,
chanical way. which have met with 10 my
travels, is that Of the atmospheric Rail-
way, at ST. GERMAN, about Is miles from
Paris. Atmo spheric pressure has here
been adopted to propel trains of cars for a
distance of five miles and half-the last
half Of which has an, ascent Of three and
half per cent. The object ia adopting this
system was to bring lie terminus Of the
road up into the city Uf st. German. &hisl.
is loca, ed on hill forming the south bank
of the Seine. The ascent was too great
to be overcome in all weathers by u loco
motive, and indeed, only one locomotive has
been found sufficiently powerful TO draw
train up at any time.
The system in use in the United States
on inclined plains. of drawing trains up and
letting them down by means of rope. has
been found here, as elsewhere. too trouble-
some, too slow, and attended with too many
accidents, to be found available on suburban
roads where the travel is SO great. 1t is
so rare to NEE with anything in these old
copntries in advance Of America in real
practical utility-in the inventive genius
which has an utilitarian end-that we have
deemed a short description OF this most
admirable and really interesting invention

ter. a full knowledge of the mechanism
and the operation Of this admirable ma
chine. An iron tube is laid down in The
centre of the track, which is sunk about
one third Of its diameter in the bed OF the
road, For a distance of about 5000 yards
the tube has diameter of only l 3 4 feet,

require the some amount of force as 10 re-

WHAT WHISKY is GOOD FoE.-The
Lynchburg Erpress states that two sons
OF the late HEzEKIAu FUQUA, Of Bedford.
(near Liberty, in Virginia, together with
a little negro boy, a few days since, were
severely bitten by snake. The lads
went out hunting, and having started a
rabbit, ran him into a hollow log. when
one Of the boys put his hand in 10 haul
him out. Very soon he felt something
bite, or. as he thought, the scratch Of
the Eare. His brother tried it with a
like sensation, so he declined repeating
the operation. Then little Cuff (brave
as CEsAR) tiles it with like success. In
few me ments the hands of the palties
commenced swelling at an alarming rate,
when medical aid was Immediately pro-
cured. The physician dosed them well
with liquor, until the patients became
thoroughly intoxicated, and after recoy-
ering from the effects Of medicine, the
swelling sabsided, and we are happy to
hear the trio are now convalescent. The
log was split open, and to the surprise OF
all, large copperhead snake exhibited
himself in all his native ferocity.
The use Of whisky as cure for the
bite of snake, we understand, was prac.
tically tested in this County few weeks
since. A negro man. belonging to Col
David Gibson, in this vicinity. was bitter
by copper snake, and, in the course Of
half an hour, drank about a quart Ct
whisky, and was relieved from the effec,
resulting from the bite,-Ronemey (Va.,
