UWhat is salcratus? Wood is burned
to ashes: ashes arc lixivatcd-ley is the res
ut. Ley is evaporatcd by boiling-black
salts is the residuum. The salts undergo
purication by fire, and the potash of COM
mercc is obtained. By another process VIC
change pota sh into pearlash. Now put
these in sacks and place them over a distillcry
wash tub, where the fermentation evolves car
bonic acid gas, and the pearlash absorbs it
and is rendered solid; the product being hca-
vier, drier and whittier than the pearlash. 1t
is now saleratus.-IIow much salts of ley
and carbonic acid human stomach can bear
and remain healthy, is question for a sal
eratus cater. Some people say salcratus will
not harm the stomach. 1t is a ley.

Curious STATISTICS Some statistical &C.
mus declares that ''more money is expended
in the United States for cigars than all the
common schools in the Union.'' , A wag,
who is undoubtedly a lover Of the weed,
seeing this statement going through the pa
pcrs, gets OIL the following:
1t has been calculated that the cost Of
washing linen that might just as well be worn
two days longer, amounts to enough in this
country to more than dctrIy the expenses Of
the American Boards of foreign Missions.
The expenros of buttons worn on Tie backs
Of our coats, where they are of no earthly
use, is equal to the npport Of all our orphan
asylums. -.
The value of tais to dress coats (orno val
lie in reality, for warmth or corvenience) is
actually greater than the cost of our excellent
system Of common schools. ~ .I
1t has been estimated that the valrc of oil
boots, thrown away, which might have been
warn at least a day longer, is more than
enough to buy flannel night gown for every
baby in the land Also that the cost of the
extra inch on the tail shirt collars OF our
young men, is equal to the sum necessary
TO put Bible into the hands Of every one Of
the Patagonion giants.

The ADMINISTRATIONS AND THE CUBA OUr-
RACES. The Union, of Saturday, has n long
editorial showing that the President, who
is said to be indignant at the conduct Of the
Cuban officials towards our merchant ships
and citizens is doing every thing he can to
protect our rights and to demand rcparation
for the injuries inflicted. The authority Of
the President however, is limited by the
Constitution, to the strict observance Of the
letter and spirit of which, and his oath OF
Office he will strictly adhere. The Union,
however, apparently BY authority, adds:
1T is scarcely necessary to remark that
as the late occurrences in the ncighborhood
of Cuba have caused the President to send a
naval force there, the ipfei cncc is conclusive
that the object is to prcycnt repetition of
such occurrences and to punish them if their
repetition is ttempted.-Those acts are re-
gardcd by the Executive as violations of in
tcrnationa law and ind;gnitics to our flag
and aggressions upon our rights and obstruc
tons to our commerce, which cannot and
will not be tolerated. Commodore McCaulcy
will raise no questions of naval etiquette in
connection with the exercise of the right of
visitation or examination Of our vessels by
Spanish war-ships. His business is to know
t'al oi' N'o'NiillIitI't lSptSia'No an Noii'io-
vcrsy as to the cxistenccof such right, wheth-
er it be sought to cover it under the terms Of
bringing to or firing over or any one of
the naval phrases which are so learncdly in
vcstigatcd in some of the newspapers, or
whether it is asserted openly and boldly as
an existing Spanish right. lie docs not go
there with photographer in his hand to en-
Ter into pathological disquisitions with Span
ish officers but to say to them, You claim
no right of search, vista ton, Or examination
of any vessel righfully bearing our flag upon
the high seas, under any gui>e or rrctcXt, in
my presence our within my reach; if you at
tempt it, the act will be done at your peril. :"
AS to the probabilities Of war, the Union
says:
awe do not pretend t2 conjecture whether
a hostile collision will or will not result from
the execution of the orders of Commodore
McCaulcy. That matter is with the Spanish
officials and their Government. They now
know the position Of our Government on the
question. and they have the issue Of peace or
war in their own hands. If they persist in
their career of aggrcssions, war is inevitable,
and war by their own act and upon their own
responsibility"

t. HEN the summer of youth is slowly
wasting away in the nghtial Of age, and tho
shadows of the past years grow deeper, and
life wears to its close, it is pleasant to look
back through the vista Of time upon tha
sorrows and telicitics ofour earliest years.
If we have a home to sh cltcr, and hearts 10.
rejoice with us, and friends have been gath
cred together around oHr fresides, then tl,p
rough place ofour wayfaring will have been
worn and sinoolhed away in the twilight q

a W oMANs TEHDERNESs AND Love. 1t
has often been remarked, that in sickness
there is no hand like womans hand---no
heart like womans hcart--and there is not
mans breast may swell with unutterahlc
sorrow apprchcnsions may rcnd his mind
yet place him by the sick couch, he Is the
shadow rather than light Of the sad light that
watches it-lct him have to count over the
long, duil hours of night, and wait alone,
slecpless, the struggle Of the grey dawn into
the chamber Of sufcrng--let him b. appoin-
ted to this ministry, even for the sake Of the
brother Of his heart, or farther of his being,
and his gloSscr nature, even where it is more
perfect, will tire, his eyes will close. and h is
spirit grow impatient Of the dreamy task
and through love and anxiety remain undis-
turbcd, his mind will own to itscifa creeping
in Of an irresistible selfshncss, which indeed
he may be ashamed Of and struggle to reject,
but which in spite Of all his efforts, remains
to characterize his nature, and prove in one
instance at least, manly weakness. But see
mother, wife, or a sister in his place.
That woman feels no WEAKNESS, nor even
forgetiulneSs. In silence in the depth OF
night she dwells, not only passively, but so
far as the qualified terms may express our
meaning, joyously. Her car acquires 4 blind
mans instinct, as from time to time it catches
the slightest air or whisper, or the breath Of
the now more than loved one who lies undyr
the hand of human afIlittion. Her steps, as
in obedience to an impulse or signal, would
not awake mouse--if she speaks, her words
are soft echo of natural harmony most
delicious to the sick mans car, conveying
all that sound can convey, CT pity, comfort,
and devolon--and thus night after night she
tends him, like a creature sent from higher
world, when all earthly watchtuncss has
failed, her eyes never winking-her mind
palls-her nature that at other times was
weakness, now gaining superhcmon strength
and me msgnanimity, herself forgotten, her sex
alone predominant.
