STEAMER FRANG KEELrxG.-This little steam
boat came near experiencing g blow up" when
descending the bayou on Saturday morning last.
When about four miles from Donaldsonville, he1
starbosrd boiler gave way in the rear Of tho FIRE
bed. The engineer on duty had the fro damp
ened down Immediately, and raised the safety
valve to prevent explosion. She was lowed
down to this place by mule power on the follow
ing day, where the boiler was thoroughly re-
paired at the foundry Of P. II. Gary & Co.

Orleans, agreeably to the regulations q ~ sct
81 Congress-. She again proceeded on her
regular trips on Wednesday last, and may now

DEsERTIoNs FROM THE ARMY.-A writer in
the New York Journal Of Commerce says, out Of
eight thousand soldiers in the army, it is be-
lieved that three thousand deserted last year.
What is the cause Of men growing so disguised
with the service? Is it the treatment they re-
ceiye, or are persons enlisted who are not fit to
be employed on any public duty?

ANAToMY.-The structure of the human
body was made part of the philosophical
Investigations of Plato and Xenophen; and
it became a branch of medical art under
Hippocrates, about 400 B. c. But Erasistra-
tus and Herophilus may be regarded as
being the fathers of anatomy; they were
the first to dissect the human form, as ana
tomical research had been confined to brutes
only; it is mentioned that they practised
upon the bodies of living criminals, about
900 and 2s3 B. c. In England, the schools
were supplied with subjects unlawfuIly ex-
humed from graves; and, until lately, the
bodies Of executed criminals were ordered
for dissection. The first anatomical plates
were designed by Vesalius, about A. D. 1888.
The discoveries Of Harvey were made in
1917. The anatomy ofplants was discovered
in 1680.-Friends History Of Phys1e.

SINGULAR AccIDENr.-An inquest was held
in New York on the 18th upon the body of an
infant, which lost its life by falling from fifth
story window to the pavement. It appears the

higher than the sill. The blinds were unfast-
ened, and in the night, while the mother slept,
the child slipped from her arms and rolled
through the window.

shrimps, curlews, snipe, crabs, reddish, sheep
head trout, founders, pompanos, whiting, black
fish, mullet, and last, but not least, those de-
licious oysters, which abound in such great
abundance in the bays and bayous near the

safe return to the g fulcrum that moves the
world" It's pressing business with us now.

account says that the feet was at anchor IN

place. 1t was reported that Russia was con-
centrating 800, 900 men against Austria.
The Danish feet had put to sea.
An engagement had taken place between the
Russians and the Turks, in Asia, the latter
losing 5000 men.
thirty thousand Russians had advanced from
Odessa towards the Pruth The accounts of the
evacuation by Russia of the municipalities are
very contradictory. 1t is said that an interview
had taken place between Gortchakoff and the
Emperor of Austria; that Russia was occupying
the Persian forts in tina Caspian Sea, and that
Prussia had declared against an aggressive
policy. Ct
A Russian armed yacht was captured OFT

N.a- Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy

lsy- Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy
for the Sick Headache which has been recent
ly offered TO the public, is attracting great at
tory testimonials to its efficacy which have been
volunteered by many who have been benefited by
it, but also because there are so great a number
of people who are afflicted with the distressing
complaint, for which no medicine has before been
made public. DR.. Eastman, who discovered the
efficacy OF his ''remedy," is physician in this
city, in high standing with large practice. He
is physician in whom great confidence is placed;
and we do not wonder that his remedy for very
common disease, which has been so long needed,
has attracted the attention of all sufferers from
headache who have heard of it. From our own
knowledge Of DIR. Eastman's character and prac-
tice, we have no doubt that the medicine deserves
the favor il receives, and that will prove TO be
great benefit 10 all who may give it trial.
