! send you a small instrument, which I
used with great success in caaNg rapos in
chickens. Early last spring d number o.
my young saanz zhaes, were raised without
being effected with gapes, in a yard where
other chickens were nearly aA destroyed
y that disease. " preventative was to
put tive or three drops Of spirits Of tur-
peat,no IN thc-t water every time it was
renewed.
In passias through my yard in the
montA q August, / noticed brood Of
cross-braed 5rahuia and aLaDghae chicks,
about three OF four weeks old, gaping
badly. Che girl who fed them told me
taat they had been badly affected for sew
er2l days, and tw5 had died that morning.
There were sixteen i'll the brood. [ had
tried the feather and spirits Of turpentine
sometime before, and killed two by injury
70 the Eind-pipe, as [ supposed. ] went
10 the house and got piece OF whale-bone,
and had the brood, fourteen in number
caught, and / set them on my knee, OPEN
ed their mouths, stretched their nechs,
pulled out their tongues, gave the tongue
to an assistant to hold, moistenod tic
sponge thoroughly with spirits Of turpen-
tine, and passed the sponge down its wind
pipe the full length Of It's neck 10 where I
supposed it came to the upper portion OF
It's lungs. I then drew out the sponge,
taruing it as [ drew It, (holding the chick
vn firmly, aad / draa ont many vorns.
and many others were coughed up, and
-.--<.-.., .1-.-,. -oo.o r-o-o1
although some OF them wheezed a little
fer few days. Isappose this cure was
effected in consequence OF using turpen-
tine. Since then have used the same
remedy on eleven OF another brood that
we're badly affected. Let me assure you
that the sponge thoroughly saturated with
spirits Of turpentine, is perfectly safe, not
ia the least degree injuring the chicken,
and a most perfect cure, and in skilliul
hands it is quickly done.-A. p. Eyfe,
IL. D.
REMARKs.-The instrument sent to us
By DR.. Wylie IS small round whale-bone,
not larger than an ordinary knitting-nee-
die at the large end, and tapering to half
that size at the othar end. 1t is about
four inches long. Ca the small end is
thin piece ola sponge, a halfan inch long,
encircling the whale-bone, and fastened
with very fine cambric thread. The
circumference Of the portion Of bone, aciM
tic sponge attached, is no larger than the
largest end Of the bone. We are thus

tully understand how to make such an in

''I shall close, " said The eloquent orator
''by an illusion to the vital greatness and
sempiternal importance of the National
Union.n
This sentence was greeted by salvo OF
Tremendous cheers and cries Of "Go it,
Pepperage :"
s'1he Union p peroratod Mr. p. oTn-
spring theme! How shall I find words to
describe its momeatous magniGcence and
It's beaut;ae lustre: The Union 1T is the
ark OF our safety the palladium of ouI
liberties ! the safeguard of our hap
piness land the ngis ofour yiriuos,!!!l
In the Union we live, and move, and go
ahead. It watches over Us at eur birth
it fans us in our cradles-it accompanies
US to the district school-It gives us our
vituals in due season-it selects ouv wives
for US from 'America's s fair daughters,
and 1t does great many other things to
say nothing OF putting Us to sleep some
times, and kecpiag the flies from our In
noeent repose. While the Union lasts, We
have the most reasonable prospect Of plen-
ty OF fodder, with occasional drinks By
IT'S beDllcent energies, however, should the
present supply give out, we shall rise su-
perior to the calculations Of an ordinary
and narrow prudence, and take in Cuba,
Hayti and Mexico, and such parts OF all
contiguous islands as may offer prospects
for an advantageous investment. Paisied
be the arm, then, and biistered the tongue,
and bumped the back, and broken the
legs, and eYiscerated the stomach, OF every
person who darcs to think CT dream OF
harming it! Nay he smoke none but New
Orleans tobacco! May Lis family be per
petually ascending the Mississippi in a
steamboat! Nay his own grandmother dis
own him! And may the suffrages Of his
fellow-citizens pursue him like avcnging
furies, till he is driven, howling into Con-
gress. For, oh my dear, dear friends
my beloved fellow-citizens-who can fore
tell the agonies, or the sorrows, or the
blights, and the anguish, and the despair,
and the black eyes, and the bloody noses,
that would follow, upon the description OF
our too happy, happy family
The accursed myrmidons Of despotism,
with gnashing teeth and blood-stained
eyes, would rush at large over this planet.
They would lap the crimson gore of the
most wealthy and respectable citizens
The sobs of females and the screams OF
children would mingle with the barking OF
dogs and the crash Of falling columns
A universal and horrid night would mantle
the skies, and one by one the strong pill
lats Of the universe 60 crumbling into ru-
in, amid the gleam Of bowie-knives and
the lurid glare Ofexploded steamboats, !''-

Gun ooNsULs.--A spondent of the
NeH York IrjJuae, writing from Athens.
Greece, has the following in regard to some
Of the eonsnls in The employ Of the United
States Government.
an American gentleman was not lone
ago diningot hotel ia Malta, when, as
often happens among Enelisbnen, tie
conversation related TO bmcrican charaee
teristic4. Such a ono,' remarked John
lsull, referring 20 an American Consul ii
me LoYant7 sells passports for &3I. p
GU arc mistaken, replied the John Bull
glS SG-gls, IAN American passport costs
these Greek and Italian adventurers but
IA cents ; and for shat sum they can
be procured at most Of their Consulships.' ;
they then proceeded to give eases IN
pQnt. Under those circumstances the
gontloman referred to, did not venture to
yindicate his nationality. Personally I
have nothing against any American Con-
sul in the East. No gentleman would
wish to withhold from them the petty sum
Of 80 for the else of his passport. It is
only against the scandalous abuse Of the
limited power placed IN their hands that [
protest, and for which have often had oc-
casion 10 blush
Ones experience on visiting many Of
the Consulships is somewhat as follows
You are told:
On q certain day Greek, whom I knew
from his appearance to be an impostor
and a seoundfel, presented hinself at my
Office with an American passport.
Are you an American citizen - 'No.'
DO you ever expect to be;' NO
How then came you by this passport::'
4 bought it OF an american Consul at
the city Of for = dollars.'
Your passport is worthless, sir. The
Consul you mention has no right to grant
such q protection, You had better get
back your piasters if possible lam going
to report him to the authorities at Wash
ington:'
TO listen to his rigmarole once would
scarcely arrest the attention but to hear
it again and again from the mouths of our
government agents indicates that all is not
right. It is on the whole not little di-
yerting to hear men OF consular rank thus
showing up each others professional sins.
The Foreign Correspondence at Wash
ington would doubtless afford rare morsels
TO Punch and Partington. what one
saint says Of another saint must be true.
Not long ago our consular agent at Syea
$50 far assumed the prerogatiyo Of the De
paytment' as to appoint an officer with
power considerably higher than his own.
! may hear say that our consulships and
agencies in the Levant should be regular
sataried oaicos, and given to none but
American citizens. The Turks are too in
.dolont, the Greeks too miscellaneous, and 1t
lis not over agreeable TO an american cit
i2ca to have his passport wise at an Amer
lean oonaulship by an Englishaan or a
brenchman. Among our consuls in the
Leyant there are many excellent men,
whose kindness / shall never forget: no
one IS required to draw on the garment IN
less it Its him exactlY.''
