Charity n, Intere.i.

Most American readers have
heard OF Swain, the "author" Of
"Swaim's Panacea," and how, by
being book binder he came 10 find
on the blank leaf Of a volume he
was binding, the receipt for the cele-
brated medicine which laid the foun-
dation of the princely fortune which
he left behind him. Something like
this, was the lucky accident which
made Day and his "eminent" black
ing so famous.
Day was hair dresser in a hum>
BILE way, and was benificent and
charitable in the extreme; one day a
soldier entered his shop, and stated
that he had Just landed from an ex-
pedi,ion. and he had long march
before him, to reach his regiment;
that his money was gone, and moths
ing but sickness, fatigue, and punish
ment awaited him, unless he could
get lift on a coach. The worthy
barber presented him a guinea,
when the grateful soldier exclaimed:
"God bless you, sir--how can /
ever repay thisi l have nothing in
this world except" pulling a dirty
piece of paper out of his pocket, "a
receipt for blacking; it is the best
ever was seen; many a half guinea
have had for it from the officers,
and many bottles have | sold; may
you be able TO get something for il
to repay this you have given to the
poor soldier; your kindness never
can either repay or forget.
Mr.. Day, who was shrewd man
inquired into the truth of the story,
tried the backing. and finding II
good, commenced the manufacture
and sale of it, and realized the i'm.
mense fortune Of which he died
possessed.

PRESERVING BUTTER.--The farm
ers OF Aberdeen, Scotland, are said
to practice the following method for
curing their butter, which gives it a
great superiority over that of their
neighbors: "Take two quarts of the
best common salt, one ounce of su-
gar. and one Of salt-petre; take one
ounce of this composition for one
pound OF butter; work it well into
the mass, and close it up for use.--
The butter cured with this mixture
appears of a rich and marrowy con-
sistence and fine color, and acquires
a brittle hardness, nor tastes salty
DIR. Anderson SAYS: 81 have ale but
ter cured with the above composition
that has been kept Tor three years
and il was as sweet as at first"
Ii must be noted, however, that
butter thus cured requires TO stand
three weeks OF a month before il. is
used. If it is sooner opened. the
salts are not sufficiently blended with
it, and sometimes the GOODNESS of the
nitre will be perceived, which totally
disappears afterwards. The above
is worthy the attention of every dai
ry woman.

Heavy FoRGERY IN CONNECTION
WITH THE MARTHA WASHINGTON
CAsE.-A short time since we pub
lished the arrest Of John G.. Nichol-
son, one Of the parties implicated in
the burning o. the Martha Washing
ton. On searching the trunks Of
Nicholson, papers were found which
led to the supposition that a young
man named George Gage, who was
suspected of having aided Nicholson
to elude several police officers who
were after him, was the person who
had presented forged checks 10 a
large amount at the counter Of the
Bank of the Ohio Life Insurance
Company, at Cincinnati, Ohio, for
which he had received the money
The Wall street agent Of one OF the
Insurance Companies which had SUI
fered from the infamous transaction
was informed Of this, and Immediate
ly sent TO Cincinnati Gor Mr.. George
Robertshaw, the party who paid the
rhecks, TO come on and identify
Gage. That gentleman arrived in
the city on Saturday last, and yes
terday a warrant was issued for the
arrest Of Gage.
On his being taken 10 court and
confronted by Mr.. Robertshaw, that
gentleman at once iuily and unequiv-
ocallv identified him as the man who
presented the checks and received
the money for them. One Of these
checks is for 81, 800, and purporiec
to have been made by s. Davis &
Co., and drawn upon the Mechanics
and Traders Bank OF Cincinnati
| The other was for 81 1900, and pur
ported TO have been made by Evan.
& Swift, and drawn on The firm o
Ellis 81 Morton, bankers in Cincin
natl. Both were presented at th'
bank Of the Ohio Lille and Trus
Company, and paid in gold coin.-

been the case, and his counsel furthe

| A SINGULAR FELLow.-We ex-
tract the following from New Or
leans letter:
Yet with all this, the fair sex is
outdone by one of ours. There is a
man, a day laborer in the custom
house, who receives S35 a month,
which he spends the most Of in deco
rating his person. He has his own
peculiar notions of taste, and on
Sunday he attires himself in his
singular costume. and exhibits him
self in the most frequented thorough
fares and public places. Yesterday.
al the request of a gentleman, he
came TO the drawing-room Of the
ST. Charles to crafty the anxiety Of
some ladies whom he was informed
had STAYED a day beyond their time
that they might have the honor of
seeing HIM. He wore modern shape
coat and pants, but his hat is re-
markahle for its broad hrim, which is
ten inches in width, on one side Of
which he wears massive eagle OF
pure gold; his shoes are silver, and
are jointed, to permit him 10 walk
the more easily. His coat and pants
are profusely decorated with rich
gold lace, and the seams are strung
with gold coin. A long string OF
$40 and $50 gold pieces reach from
his neck to the point Of his vest, and
around his waist is girdle from
which depend punches OF golden
fishes, each OF which is seven o.
eight inches long. His hand, how
ever, exceeds the rest in novelty
the fingers are covered with rings,
one of which weighs one pound and
half; he wore three on Sunday.
the fields Of which were decorated
with engravings on gold, of the fight
into Egypt, Adam and Eve, and the
Crucifxion; he has also a massive
seal, on which IS engraved a portrait
of himself. .- 90.
His rings are attached to heavy
bracelets, and sundry very large
gold chains weigh heavy upon his
broad shoulders. This expensive
costume is kept in bank during the
six days of the week, in which he
ass;duously tolls for more money to
buy new decorations, which must
always be of the finest gold. This
renowned individual is always will
ling to answer questions concerning
the cost of his golden armor, and
expatiated very loudly upon the ex
quisite skill and workmanship Of hi:
rings, seals, fishes, &c. A gentle
man in the Custom House informs
me that his Sunday dress is valued
at from three TO iour thousand dol
lars.

A POEM.


7AReUMENT.-Conlath was the
Youngest of Morni's sons, and bro-
ther to the celebrated Gaul. He was
in love with Cuthona, daughter Of
Rumar, when Toscar, the son Of Kin
fena, arrived from Ireland at Mora.
where Conlath dwelt. He feasted
three days with the latter. On the
fourth, be set sail, and coasted the
island Of Waves, one of the He
brides; he saw Cuthona hunting, fell
in love with her, and carried her
away BY force in his ship. He was
forced by the weather, into l-thona.
desert isle. In the meantime Con-
lath sailed after him, TO have revenge,
and found him on the point of sail
ing for Ireland. They fought. and
they and their adherents fell by
mutual wounds. Cuthona died OF
grief on the third day alter. Fingal.
hearing OF their unfortunate death,
sent Stormal, son of Moran, TO bury
them, but forgot 10 send a bard to
sing the funeral song over their
tombs. The ghost Of Conlath comes,
long after, TO Ossian, to ertreat him
to transmit 10 posterity his and
Cuthona's fame. For it was the
opinion Of the times, that the souls
Of The deceased were not happy till
their elegies were composed by a
bard.
