Baysrd Taylor, in speaking Of curiosties
in China, says
But there is an entertainment Of entirely
novel character. A man seated on the
pavement holds in his hands VIII tie por-
celan tile, about foot square. This he
overspreads with a deep blue color from
sponge dipped in thin paste Of indigo and
asks US TO name flower. | suggest the
lotus. He extends his fore finger crooked
flexible as ali elephants trunk, and as sharp
as il the end had been whitfield oti--gives
three or four quick dashes across the tile,
aud in ten seconds or less, 10! there is the
flower exquisitely drawn and shaded; its
snowy cup hanging in the midst Of its long
-waying leaves. Three more strokes md
white bird with spread wings, hovers over
It; two more and dog stands beside it,
The rapidity and precision of that iorehnger
seem almost miraculous. He covers the
tile with new layers Of color and flower af-
ter flower is dashed out Of the blue
ground

CONGRESSIONAL FRAuD.-A terrible rum
pus has been kicked up in Congress by the
discovery that the Minnesota land bill has
been so changed in phraseology, by striking
out the word .iuture," and by altering the
word "or" to .tand," as to give the lands 10
a accompany, just ceartered, instead Of placing
them in the hands of the legislature. The
clerk OF the House, Mr.. Forney, and Hon.
Mr., Stevens, of Michigan are implicated
Mr.. s, explains to this efect-and says
further that he had been told by Senators
(bu, refused to give their namcs) that such
things were frequently done!-but denies
that he was aware ofthc effect ofthc change
that his only oben. was TO benefit his
own State by having the bill so worded as
10 ensure communication between the
Lakes and the Mississippi, &c. Much ex-
element ensued upon this movement
and member OF Virginia gave notice Of his
intention TO introduce bill on the following
day ito repeal the Minnesota Land Bill II
"Cheatinr luck viii never thrive"
comm .ttee OF investigation has been ordered
and lit can be ascertained who has been
purchasing lands on certain railroad points
in Minnasota--wh constitute the railroad
company. &c.-we shall probably know
how, and by whom, il came 10 pass that an
engrossing clerk was told - change the
phraseology of a bill which had passed

Facts Worth KNOWING.

Halls journal Of Health has an article on
cholera from which we quote the following /:
Awe cheese, or a cup Of fishing worms

tines IN ordinary health. The human put is
hollow, flexible tube, between thirty and
forty feet long; but in order to be contained
within the body, it is, to save space, arrang-

diseases, too little in others. To REGULATE

tins great coledup intestine, usually called
the bowels, is torpid, and medicines are given
70 wake it; apd what cures that cures the
nun
Costiveness is the foundation, that is, one
OF the first beginnings, or it is the attendant
OF every disease known to man, in some
stage or other Of its progress. But the hu-
man body is made in such manner that not
a single step can be taken without tending
70 move the intestines thus il is, in the
main, that these who move about on their
ieet great deal have the least Sickness
ana on the other hand, those who sit a great
deal and hence move about but little, never
have sound health-lt is an impossibility
it is rule to which have never known an
exception
Cholera being disease in W hich the bow
els move too much, the object should be to
lesson that motion. and as every step man
takes increases intestinal motion, the first
thidg to be done in case of cholera is to Sc
cure quetude. II requires but small a.
mount Of intelligence to put these ideas to-
gether, and if they could only be burnt in
on every heart, this fearful scourge would be
robbed of myrads of its victims.
There can be no cure Of cholera without
quietude-that quietude OF lyingon the back.
The first step, then, to be taken where
cholera prevails and its symptoms present,
Is

II! the arrival Of your medical attendant.
But many ofmy readers may be in q con-
dition BY distance or otherwise, where it is
not possible to obtain a physician for sever
al hours, and where such delay might
prove fatal. Under such circumstances,
obtain ten grains of calomel, and make it

within two hours, then swallow two more
Of said pills, and continue to swallow two
more at the end Of each two hours, until the
