The Death of tho Emperor Alexander.

The New York Courier and Enquirer have as
serted and attempted to prove that the Emperor
Alexander died 81 poison, the Russian Consul
General. at New York. has. in a note addressed to
Col. Webb. pronounced the assertion to be "a de-.
lberate, wantoh and unmitigated alsehood," and
he adds that Alexander died of the Black Sea fe-
ver fatal disorder. he says, which the Allies
will soon become acquainted with.
The following statement'from an American
gentleman of respectabillity, who resides In New
York, throws some light upon this point OF his
tory:
that the Emperor Alexander died at Taganrog by
poison. This is perfectly absurd. 1 was in ST.
Petersburg at the time of his death. and about
year after. often saw and dined with Sir James
Wiley. Scotchman, his favorte physician, who
was with him at Taganrog. also knew others
of his suite. Sir James told me that the Emperor
was much exposed several hours rainy day,
and in cold wind, riding about and inspect
ing Government works The result was, he took
a severe cold. 10 which he would pay atten-
ton, but kept out as usual for several days afte.
ward. inflammation OF the throat and chest set in.
and ss the Emperor obstinately persisted in re-
flsng medicine till too late. he died, after short
illness. He had strong constitution, was OF very
robust health. and as is common with such per-
sons, rather prejudiced against taking med
iciae. relying on his constitution to carry him
through. The Empress was with him, and as
siduousiv devoted to him all through his illness al
though s!e in delioRte health at the time, and
had been for several years. She followed him to
the grave a few months after There cannot be
a greater absurdty than to attribute his death to
poison.

70 MY WIFE.

Pillow thy head upon this heart.
Nv own, my cherished wifei
And let US ior one hour forge.
Our dreary path Of life:
Then let uae kiss thy tears away,
And bid remembrance fes
Back to the DAYS of halcyon youth,
When all was hope and glec-
Fair was the early promise, love,
OF our ioy-freishted bark;
Sun lit and lnstrous too the skies
Now all so dita and dark;
Over a stormy sea, dear wife,
We drove with scattered sail.
But love sits smiling at the helm.
And mocks the threatening gale.
Come, let me part those clustering curls.
And gaze upon thy blow;
How many, many memories.
Sweep DER my spirit now.
How much of happiness and grief
How much Of hope and fear
Breathe from each dear lov'd lineament.
Most eloquently herel
Thou gentle one. few Joys remain
To cheer our lonely lot;
The storm hath left orr paradise
With but one sunny spot:
Hallowed for'er Will be that place
To hearts like minis and thine:
IT'S where our childish hands upreaTed
Affections earliest shrine.
Then nestle closer tc this breast,
Nv fond and faithful dovel
There, if-not here. should be the ark
OF refuge for thy lovea
They poor mans blessing and his curse
Pertain alike to me;
For, shorn OF worldly wealth, dear wife,
Am rot rich iu theei

Provision AID Fruit PEEsERvATIox-Iohn
Z. Sckoo!sy ,of Cincinnati, Ohio obtained patent
on the 18th OF last month, entitled new process
OF curing meat The object of this invention is
the maintaining of dry atmosphere in summer
IN an apartment cooled by ice so as TO enable him
to cure PORK, beef &C.. during the summer as well
during the winter months. He has ascertain
ed. he informs US. BY actuaie experiment on large
scale, that hogs and beef cattle can be Killed and
the meat cured In summer, with nearly equal sue
cess as in the best winter weather. His plan is
TO pass the air for his building the surface of
ice, which thus reduces its temperature and makes
1t deposit its moisture before it enters the curing
r,ora: He commenced operations in April last
year, and cured $4,000 worth of pork hams and
shoulders, with only loss of about seven per cent
The temperature in the curing room ranged at
from 39s TO 4Se. when it was from 9O@ to 95e in
the shade outside The chamber was entirely
ree frem moisture and impure air. whilst IN all
other places heretofore used for summer curing.
the curing chamber was always dripping with
drops OF water hanging 10 the ceiling OF running
down the sides of the apartment, ersat:ng an inn
pure atmosphere, and the result of curing in this
moist air was disastrous, showing loss in spelled
meat Of Tot less than 90 to 40 per cent. or even
amounting to 60 per cent. which has heretofore
prevented the summer curing process from being
ofany Commercial! value
His plan is now in full operation at No. 3.,9
Plum street. Cincinnati. where it may be exam
med by all those interested in the preserving OF
both meats and fruits lScientitic .7nser
