The BITE OF A RATTLEsNAKE.-The most
simple and convenient remedy, says a cor
respondent of the Macon Messenger, | ever
heard OF, was alum. A piece the size of a
hickory nut. dissolved in .water and drank.
or chewed and swallowed: is sufficient. |
have good authority for saying it has been
tried many times OF men and dogs, and that
they have invariably recovered: know of
some planters whose hands are exposed to
be bitten by rattlesnakes, who always have
them provided with it in their pockets, and
they have several times found use for it.
We happen to know something about this,
and can suggest an effectual remedy. We
mean alcoholic liquors. The philosophy OF
it is simply this: The venom of a serpent is
a powerful sedative, which it requires power
tul stlmulants to counteract. We once
saved the life of a valuable domestic by
giving him Gin the absence of any other
liquorl a whole bottle of alcohol, in doses of
halt a tumbler at a time. 1t was only when
he drank the last portion that intoxication
showed itself-so powerful was the sedative
action of the poison. Once make a man
who has been bitten by a venomous reptile
drunk, and the victory is achieved, From
that momen he is safe, and the sore may
be treated as an ordinary and slight flesh
wound.
Thibodaux minerva. [volume] (Thibodaux, La.) 18??-1858, 1854-07-15
The Contrast-Religious Freedom.

We take the following strong c%ontrast
from the late speech of Senator Cass in the
U. S.. Senate. on "The religious rites of the
American citizens abroad"
GAS early as 1885, two years only afteI
the acknowledgment of our indepence, en-
tire freedom of worship was consecrated in
a treaty with Prussia in these memorable
words:
"The most perfect freedom of conscience
and of worship is granted to the citizens or
subjects of either party within the jnrisdic,
'tion of the other, without being liable to
molestation in that respect, fer any cause
other than an insult to the religion of others.
Moreover, when the subject of the one party
shall die within the jurisdiction of the other,
their bodies shall be buried in the usual
burying grounds, or other decent and suit
able places, and shall be protected from
violation or disturbance, &c.
John Adams, Ben amin Franklin, and
Thomas Jefferson signed this treaty"
"Bnt | deny. said the Senator. that re-
ligious worship is the subject of American
Legislation. There is no part of our country
not a solitary nook-from these marble
halls, where the representatives of the
American States and people assemble to do
the will of their sovereigns, to the remotest
log cabin upon the verge of civilization.
where a man may not freely and lawfully
worship God, unrestrained by any law
local or federal. In Connecticut. in Sonth
Carolina, in Oregon. and everywhere else,
any man may perform his religious services
to his Creator without the slightest fear of
interruption or punishment"
con the soil of the Holy Land, once trod
by the feet of the Savoir. is not too sacred to
receive the ~Iifeless remains ofhis Protestant
believer, while there is no fitting repose' for
him in many a Christian land desecrated by
dark deeds and darker presumption. Even
so late as the 25th of November, 1852, a
decree was issued from the royal manufac-
tory of intolerance at Madrid which pro-
'hibited any stranger, whether domiciliated
or travelling in Spain, from protesting any
other religion than that of the Catholic Apos-
tolic Church of Rome"
X X y "Graves are gifts which are
hard to be wrung from private benevolence
in such a prosecuting country. Nor is the
ocean near TO supply with its strand and
