SALERATIIS

Saleratus is said to be injurious to the human
system, and that it destroys thousands of chill
dren and some adults every year. In New
Brunswick, contiguous to Maine, the physicians
are wont to say that half the children are killed
by the use of saleratus. The evil is fast spread
ing throughout the Union Families of mod
crate size already use from ten to twenty-Gv
pounds yearly.
REMARKS OF THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.-
Stolekeepers who have been engaged In the bu-
slneSS for many years, have told us that formerly
they used TO purchase three or four small kegs
of saleratus for years supply in a country VII
lage. but that now they purchase more than as
many large cases, weighing six or eight hundred
pounds EACH Large quantities are used in ma
king bread, the most common food, and of which
all partake. Milk should take its place there
Many persons are IN the habit of adding little
saleratus to most kinds of pastry We are iu-
clined to believe the remarks quoted above have
much truth in them. We do not know how far
the power Of saleratus may be neutralized by
mixture of other substances used as food bul it
may be known by The chemist, and should bg
explained 10 the people.
What Is saleratus? Wood is burnt TO ashes.
Ashes are lixivated-lye is the result Lye is
evaporated by boiling-black salts are the resi-
dunn. The salts undergo publication by fire,
and the potash Of commerce is obtained. By
another process, we change the potash into pearl
ash. Now put this into sacks, and place them
over distillery wash-tub, where the fermenta-
ton evolves carbonic acid gas, and the peorosh
absorbs and renders it solid, the product being
heavier, dryer and whittier, than the pearlash.
1t is now saeratus. How much salts Of lye and
carbonic acid can human stomach bear and re-
main healthy, is a question for the saleratus

0~s- A pious old negro man, in the employ
ment of worthy citizen of this county a few
weeks ago set to ploughing very rough piece I
new ground. Every few feet the plow would
run against stump. The horse, moreover, was
very dull, so that when thus stopped it was very
hard to start again. The poor negro, of course
had hard time of it, and his piety and patience
were severely tested. At this they began to give
way. The alterations between him and his
horse became more violent at every fresh occa-
sion tor getting him IN motion again. Finally.
in moment of frenzy he swore away at the
horse in terrible manner. A moments rehec-
tion, however, filled him with distress. and adj
dressing his horse, he said in plaintive tone,
'.Dar now, you miserable brute, see what you
have done You've jes gone aud knocked me
right back into tie acorld again" !"-Natchez Cou-

Too GooD TO BE LosT.-A correspondent of
the New York Times relates the following story
AS for advice, l doubt whether anybody
newspaper editors excepted-get SO much Of it,
and care so little for it, as do publishers. Many
of them can tell good stories Of their experience
this way.
A number of years ago brace OF very virtu
GUS and somewhat elderly ladies formed them
selves into committe to demonstrate with
prominent publisher respecting the character of
the books which he issued. Bulwer's novels, if
remember rightly, were the special objects Of
their indignation. The worthy biblipoe, who
was at first taken aback by the vivacity Of their
assault, put in as plea in mitigation that the
greater portion of his publications were unex-
ceptionable to even the severest criticism on the
score of moral character.
The ladies looked obviously over their spec
tacles "Have you read this, or this, OF thisg
he asked, pointing out the titles of works on
theology, and history, and biography, and poetry,
and every department of literature which graced
his extensive catalogue. Not one If them had
the COMMITTEES perused. "Iheu, perhaps" hint
ed the publisher, "you are not certain Of the
character of the works you object to; perhaps
you have not read them Yes, we have" an-
swered the spokesw oman, GIVE know their char
acter perfectly WELL we have read every word of
them. Why will you publish such objection
able works?" ''Madam," replied the sly bbli-
pole, with a smile, eve publish them for ladies
like yourself, who will never read anything
else"
A reioinder equal to that Of Dr. Johnson 10
the lady who said to him, "Oh, Doctor am So
glad that you have left all the naughty words
out of your dictionary" "Madam, replied the
gruff photographer, "you have, see, been look
/ ing for them."

AMERICAN HYPERBoLE.-Upon certain occa-
sion, curt gentleman, who is physician by
profession, was. called upon to testify before a
jury with regard to the effects of a severe whip
ping given by a woman to her servant child
The counsel for the prosecution asked him
'.Doctor, what in your opinion, must be the
necessary result of such blows as those you have
heard the witnesses swear were given to this
child by the respondent p
Just as the doctor had begun to make his re
ply, the defence objected to the question as lead
ing, and the doctor was told to give no answer.
The counsel for the prosecution, bent on getting
the doctors opinion in some manner or other
framed the question in different manner. and
put it to the doctor half dozen times, hut al
ways with the same result TERED at last of be
ing badgered in this way. the doctor turned short
round to the jury, and said;
Gentlemen of the jury, if jackass had the
skin of an alligator for an overcoat and piece
of boiler plate underneath, and that jackass were
to be flogged one half as bad as that woman
whipped that child, all creation couldn't save
the jackass from dying"

The BIGGEsT TREE IN THE WoRLD.-The New
York Spirit Of the Times has a correspondent
in California who has seen with his own eyes
that wonder of the world, the mammoth Red
wood tree of the Sierra Nevada:
ssThe big tree is situated about twenty miles
from Murphy's, up in the mountains, just on the
borders OF the snowy regions. and the road thith-
er is pretty plain Indian trail, with four cart
wheel tracks somewhere in the neighborhood.
This wonder of the forest is situated In valley,
through which runs small stream, one of the
branches of the Calaveras, and is probably the
largest tree in the world. We ran tape meas
ure around it some feet from the base and found
it to be ninety-three feet in circumference. A
foot or two lower down it would have measured
much more. A stage had been erected. and
workmen were employed in boring holes, by
means of pump augurs, through the tree, in order
to fall it, they having taken off, previously, the
bark to the height of sixty feet. The height of
this tree cannot be less than three hundred feet,
and it is as symmetrical and thrifty as any tree
in the forest. But to my mind, the greatest
wonder of the place is the magnificent forest
round about. Aside from the tree above des-
cribed there are perhaps, twenty nearly as large.
Indeed, the whole forest is of that stupendous
growth that one cannot travel through it with
out sensations of awe"

A WING VOTER PREscRiBED.-Th Lexington
(Ky.) Statesman relates the following as one Of
the incidents of their late lively campaign:
A certain Democratic young lady residing in
Jesamine, who is very ardent friend of Breck
enridge, got the formal written consent Of GER
tain young Letcherite, that she, the said young
lady, might prevent the said LetCherite from vo-
ting, by any means. fair or foul. Pursuant to
this agreement; on Sunday night, after theEoung
gentleman had retired to bed, she sent a servant
to his room and got all the clothes of which he
had disrobed himself; going then to bis ward
robe she took all the rest of his clothing and
placed them in secure place beyond the reach
of the Young man. At verv early hour on
Monday morning. She with another young lady,
placed herself on the stairs down which the
Letcherite must necessarily descend. # ne de.
scended at all, and there the two ladies sat all
day. keeping their ENGAGED bird secure until the
closing Of the polls in the evening, when they
allowed him again to 90 at large. The conse-
ouence was that the young Letcherite didn I
vote, andgB breckenridge majority was increased
| one vote.
