Sugar Of Milk for Inyalids.

"A short time ago DIR. Turnbull, of Liver
pool, read to the Literary and Philosophi-
cal Society paper on the use of sugar of
milk as an article of food in consumption
and other pulmonary diseases. 1t now
appears that whey is coming into extensive
use in Germany in the treatment not only
of consumption, but also of gout and rheu-
matism, and that some German physicians
entertain opinions as to the beneficial
PrVpertiss or slgnr of milk (the ingrsdiont
to which whey owes its virtues) similar
to those lately put forth by DR.. Turnbull.
In the cheese dairies Of this country the
whey is frequently given to pigs, or other
wise wasted, and the lactine or sugar of
milk, now met with in commerce. is
brought entirely from Europe, being pre-.
pared chiefly in Switzerland. It's present
high price is, however, great obstacle to
its generl use as dietetic remedy; but it
is most desirable that so valuable an mr..
ticle of food should no longer be wasted
and that therefore the attention of those
engaged in making cheese should be d.
rected to the manufacture of this other
product from milk, which must sooner or
later become an important article of food
and of commerce.

The Safest Seat in The Cars.

A great deal has been said and written
about the safest place in a railway carr
Some assert that the nearer the locomotive
the better; aud some the most Distant
or course there is no position that is alb
soiately safe. Whirling along at 10 and
so miles an hour, is in itself dangerous,
rendering seat in depot hardly safe.
An exchange has the following remarks
on the subject:
The frequency of collisions on railroads.
has raised the question, which is the place
Of greatest security in a railroad trainl
The Railroad Journal gives the following
rs an answer: Il is very we'll known that
the car nearest the engine is exposed to
the least dust, and, the rear car of a
{ ain is generally safer than the front car.
The safest is probably the last car but one
in train of more than two cars; there are
fewer chances Of accidents to this than
any Other.
Ii It Is q way train at moderate speed,
or any train standing still, collision is
possible from another train in the rear,
IN which case the last car receives the first
shock. Again the engine and the from,
cars of train will often 90 over broken
rail, or cow, or stone, without detriment,
while the last cat, having nothing to draw
1t into line Of the train, is free to leave
the track. Next to the forward car; the
rear car is probably the most unsafe in the
train. The safest seat is probably near
the centre Of the last car but one, and in n
very long train, in the centres of the last
two or three cars next to the last.

Assassination.

A CORRESPONDENT gives us full particulars
of the assassination Of Mr. Alpheus Jones by
Mr. Miller at Barnes precinct, in this coun-
ty, which we mentioned briefly few weeks
Montgomery Alabama Journal.
"Onc of the most bloody deeds on record
was not long since committed by the icenti
Gus and unprincipled wretch, DR.. S. NJ. w.
ID. l.. Miller, on the person of Mr.. Alpheus
Jones, respectable citizen Of this county.
The facts in relation to this outrage are as
follows: Said Miller had for some months,
been in the employment of said Jones, and
on the night of the 9Th of June last, Jones'
wife left his couch and crept softly to that
of DIR. Miller, to which place Jones soon fol-
lowed her, and attempted to drag her out of
bed; but while doing this, Miller cruelty
stabbed and chopped him with huge knife
which is supposed to have been concealed
about the bed. After receiving nany death
dealing strokes from this midnight assassin
Jones, with his entrals in his hands, fled to
the house of his neighbor, Mr.. Supplies, to
which place he was pursued by Mrs. Jones
and Miller, who had double barrelled gun.
Fortunately, Jones, who was iudicious
enough to abandon the road and take the
woods, reached there before them, and fell
exhausted in the door just as they arrived at
the gate. Not being allowed entrance they
both returned to Jones' money, (about $4,000
but which, during their absence, had been
secured by Jones' mother an aged and de-
crcpid lady, Miller mounted his horse and
took flight. Mr.. Jones has lain in a hope
less and deplorable condition at the house of
Mr. Supple ever since, untilhis death on Fri
day last.
miller escaped on n black stallion, with n
white face, taking with him a pair of physi-
clans ddlebags-black-wi patent COW
ers. He (Miler) is man of low diminu-
tive statue. black hair and eyes, contracted
brow, and rather feminine voice. Said NIL
ler is South Carolinian by birth, and has
relations in Alabama and Florida--to the
former or latter Of which places he may
have made his escape.
This unmitigated scoundrel should be ar
ragned and brought to justice. 1t is hoped
that his Excellency, the Governor, will issue
proclamation offering reward, sufficient
to authorize this undertaking There are
many individuals who will readily pursue
the author of this bloody deed, who yet goes
unwhipped Of justice, and apprchend him,
and bring him before the tribunal of our
country.

A Beautiful Incident,

WE were 8 witness Of very beautiful
and touching incident, few days ago;-
an incident, which, while it reminds US
sadly that life is indeed but "a pilgrimage
over graves" still leads us to think pleas.
antly and kindly of human nature, and
OF that never-dying love which may exist
within the human heart, 1t was an aged
woman, with white hair and trembling
hands, strewing flowers over the grave Of
mother, though forty years had passed
away since the living had been separated
from the dead. 1t was indeed beautiful
and touching scene,--something very ten
der and impressive-a tribute far more
eloquent than fearful eye or mournful
tongue could bestow upon costly monu-
ment or marble slab. Years and years
had pot obliterated from her mind the
well,loSed memory Of her sainted mother,
or destroyed within her bosom one spark
of that filial affection, which in some
natures is truly "a love that liveth for
ever" Blessings on all such kind, loving
hearts, as that Of this gray-haired woman!
Few are there, in this changing world
who thus cherish the memory Of the loved
and lost. The living are loved, but how
soon do we.seem to forget the dead. How
few Of US keep their memories fresh and
Green in our souls."-Geo. Fl. Gazette

WOMAN IN JAIL FOR DEBr.-Tbere Is
now widow woman incarcerated in the
Portland Jail for no other offence than
ot being unable to meet her liabilities.
The facts are these:
The husband Of this lady died few
years since, leaving her about three hun
dred dollars. He was young man well
known in this community, and respected.
Since his decease she has resided with her
aged and poor parents and be ecome respon-
sible for the rent Of the house. Gradually
the sm'll amount left her, melted away.
and finally when the rent bill came in she
was unable to pay it. She was sued.
Judgment obtained, and execution taken
out The usual bond to disclose was riv-
en-, and the time appointed, but, by a
very natural mistake on her part, it was
not made. The consequence was, that
she must involve her sLretes or 90 to Jail.
Like an honorable woman, she ch ose the
latter; and there she now is-a prisoner.

The Speakership--The Next Congress

WE have rcfrained so far from speaking
of the great national project, the Pacific
Rlil Road.
Although from observation, find conscr-
vatism is dead letter, yet, for one, am will
ling TO give my aid, weak as it may be, to
any enterprise, which will prove source of
improvement to our common country.
There is one man in South Carolina, who,
although a stakeholder, q resident of the
soil, born and bred in the Western portion
of the State, identified with every change
for the State, whether for "weal or for woe"
this man, having an influence in the Ma
tional Legislature, will use his efforts, not
only to conciliate parties, but to promote
that conservatism, which, in its incipiency
was advised by the great "iaw giver," Thorn.
as Jefferson.
The next Congress will be an exciting
one, and this very question of the Pacific
Rail Road. will be the chief cause.
The Speaker of the House (our Western
friend, the Hon. James l.. ORR can, and
am sure, will use his influence to have this
Road constructed-it is project, not cal.u-
lated to aid one section of our republic, but
the whole, the entire portion.
Perhaps / speak sanguinnrily Of Mr.. Orr's
prospects! Nonsense--I might reply to nv
own exclamation. Mr.. Orr not only deserves
the post of SPeakership, but richly merits it,
and lie will obtain it without any cxcrtion
whatever on his part .......
The following we find in tho New York
Herald of the Goth ult
"Our special correspondent writes that
President Pierce is determined to leave the
subjec: of the proposed railroad to the Pa
clhc an open question, for settlement by
Congress, the different State Legislatures,
and the people. In his message to Congress
next December he will merely give the re.
suit of the labors Of the different exploring
expeditions so far as known, without advo-
eating any particular route or even the r,ad
itself. Gen. Pierce concludes in the opinion
expressed in this journal at the time the de-
bate was going on in congress relative TO
the imposition upon the President of the
extraordinary duties Of attending to the sur
veying of rail. e1d routes He is of the
opinion that he Was elected President of the
United States, not President of railroad, by
the people. As to the Cabinet, il is under
stood that its members are opposed, upon
the ground Of nconstitutionalty. to any
project which will grant more than the mere
right Of way to the road. Under any cir
cumstances, however, the people have deter.
mined that the road must be built. The on
ly real difficulty in the way is the fixing up
on the route

an an English port in less than sic days. This
thing, he added, was an experiment, il had
proved to be fixed fact, and Mr.. Saunders
would probably receive a telegraphic des-
patch at his office in London, before the Ist

engineer of that city had been engaged upon
this vessel for some time, and it was now
very nearly completed.

DR.. THoRNwELL---In looking through the
proceedings Of the General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church In the United States,
for the present year, we find the following
high-meriied compliment 10 the Rev DR..
Thornwell, of this town, which we beg to
lay before your readers. DIR. T. had been
nominated for the Chair ofPastoral Theolo-
gy, Church Government, &c, In the Semin-
ary at Danville, by Mr. Peden; whereupon
DIR. Palmer stated that he was satisfied il he
was elected he would not consent to serve.
DIR. Breckenridge rose and said .'that he had
no hesitation in saying Dr. Thonwell was
the abiest man Of his age now living. He
was man 20 whom Dr. b. cherished the
strongest affection, and IL the Board had had
the slightest hope Of obtaining his services.
there Was Ei0 place in the Seminary .hss he
could not have had but under existing cir
cumstances, he considered his nomination as
entirely useless, and its effect would only be
to embarass the House." DIR. Breckenridge,
Is known to most Of your readers but at the
risk OF being suPerauous, we will add, that
by his church he Is esteemed as the first man
within its fold, and by the general voice re-
ghrded as second to none In the pulpit Of
the United States in in tellect, learning elo-
quence, and all the graces of the Christian
character. The secular papera simply state
that DIR. ThornweI1 was nominated. and the
election of another is announced. TO guard
against unjust inference, the above extract
Ia given.--SOuh CarcIinian.
