UGov. Johnson of Louisiana, has address,
ed a letter to the New York Herald relative tc
the charge of pur|oining leaf of the Hathaway
Family Bible. He says:
sit is true that visited the house referred to
accompanied by my wife, and our niece, Miss
Thompson, early in July last, and that my
niece entered our names on the book as stated
but it is utterly untrue that the leaf of the Bi.
BILE was torn and abstracted by either of the
party.
"To those that know US, such denial is to,
tally unnecessary; but the charge having been
made in England deem it proper to give it an
unqualified contradiction, and to request that,
as an act of justice, you will be pleased to in
sert this communication in your paper.

GTA coachman had been driving some En-

imperial co1tege in the distance, he pulled up
and told his "fare" that if they wanted to see
the Emperor, be was coming. At the minute
when the imperial carriage passed BY Jehu OBJ

pistol, and then taking deliberate aim, fire at
the Emperor: he jumped from his box, seized
the assassin, or rather, on the principle of bis
dat qui cito dat, knocked him down, and then
picked him up and he was forthwith handed
over to the police. The Emperor sent for"Jar-
vey' to st. Cloud, and asked him what he could
do for him. Jarvey replied, that the summit of
his ambition was to sit upon an imperial ham
meredith. The emperor then sent him to Gen.
Valiant, who superintends that department in
the household, and the Gen decided that the
man was too thin and short, as the Emperor,
like the Empress Catherine, will have none but
fine tall men in his employ; he however, sent
the man away happy with l,2O0f

seven years ago the United States was aun,y

The Science Of Going to Bed--The earth is
magnet, with magnetic currents constantly
playing around it. The human body is almost
magnet, and when the body is placed in cer.
tain relations to the earth these currents har-
monlze; when in any other they conflict. When
one position is to be maintained for some time
a position should be chosen in which the mag
netIc currents Of the earth and body will not
conflict. This position, as indicated by theory,
and known by experiment, is to lie with the
head towards the north pole. Persons who
sleep with their heads in an opposite direction,
or lying cross wise, are liable to fall into va
rious nervous disorders. When they 90 back
to the right position, those disorders if not too
deeply impressed upon the constitution, soon
vanish. Sensitive persons are always, more
refreshed by sleep when their heads point due
north. Architects, in planning houses, should
bear this principle in mind.

Lemon Syrup What it is composed Of
The public are not perhaps aware that the ar
ticle sold in the shops as lemon syrup, and ex-
tensively used by the venders of mineral water,
is not what it purports to be, but is a syrup
made from Sulphuric Acid. At first Citric
Acid was substituted for the lemon juice; but
that being too expensive, Tartaric Acid was
employed, and last of all SuIphuric Acid being
but sxpence pound, has taken the place
OF Tartaric. Diluted Sulphuric Acid can with
difficulty be distinguished from Citric Acid,
but differs from it in being tonic in its effects,
while the former is Refrigerant Diaphoretic.-

G=The cholera, yellow fever and small pox
are making fearful ravages on the estates in the
interior of Cuba. The thousands of recently

terrible kind of diarrhoa, which is carrying off
vast numbers of victims, and rapidly extending
its trlghtful progress through the island In
Havana the troops are said to be dying like rot
