GENERAL BAYLY ON THE STUMP.

correspondent of the Richmond Examiner,
gives the following account of the canvassing
of his district, by Hon. Thomas H. Bayly, I'M.
der date of Williamsburgh, April 2, 1856:
at will be pleasing TO the Democracy every.
where to know that our distinguished and
talented Congressman has commenced the can
vass in his district, and will conduct it in good
earnest. He spoke here last Saturday night to
very large audience, and was repeatedly ap-
plauded in the course Of his remarks.
lie alluded to the foreign and domestic
policy Of our country in terms Of appropriate
fitness, and with no little ability. He does not
belong to any secret society-does not favor
secret political organizations-is not in favor
of prescribing Catholics, but would like whole
some alteration in our naturalization laws. No
Democrat can object to this, nor to any part of
his address. Indeed, it was marked with the
powers and foresight Of the statesman.
His friends are sanguine and confident of
his election. The people will warmly and
largely support him, and by an overwhelming
majority return him to the next Congress. The
Democracy Of the district may be we'll satisfied
with the ability, consistency, and position Of
their able representative"

The use OF snaiIs.

In the provinces Of France where the vine is
cultivated, snails Of large size abound. They
are gathered by the peasants, put in small pens
for a few days, salt water thrown on them, to
cause them to discharge whatever their stomach
may contain-then boiled, taken out Of the
shell, and eaten with sauce; they are con-
sidered a luxury by the vine dressers.
Cataract on the eye is cured by applying
drop Of clear water taken from the live snail
by piercing what might be termed the tail Of
tie snail shell with pin. This application
has the effect Of eating off the substance that
grows over the sight of the eye. A relative Of
mine was thus cured; the sight was totally
eclipsed Of one eye; by applying this water two
or three times q day, for some time, say two or
three months, the sight was restored, and re-
manned good. This was prescribed by phys-
clan as last resort-Co Correspondence Of Seen

TnE MAKING ORA Coon WIFE.-When you
see a young woman who rises early, sets the
table and prepares her fathers breakfast cheer
fully, depend upon it she will make good
wife. You may rely upon it that she possesses
o good disposition and kind heart. When you
zee young woman Just ont Of bed at nine
O'Clock, with her elbow upon the table, gasping
and sighing--"0h how dreadfully feel" rely
upon il, she will not make n good wife. She
must be lazy and mopish. When you see a
sirl with broom in her hand sweeping the
floor, with rubbing board or clothes line in
her hand, you may put it down that she is in
dustrious, and will make good wife for some
body. When you see girl with novel in
Que hand and a fan in her other, shedding tears,
YOU may be sure that she is unfit for wife.
Happiness and misery are before you, which
will you choose?

Hrst. ne can administer the court plaster
with the skill and ability of the most accom-.
plished courtier of his imperial palace, as will
be seen by the following extract from his
speech to the Corps Dplomatique, delivered
on the It'll Of March:
~ am persuaded, gentlemen, that all your
courts feel sincere sorrow Mt the misfortune
that has befalen us. have already received
proofs Of it from all sides; they have greatly
moved me, and | stated yesterday to the min.
listers of Prussia and Austria how much ap-
preciate them.
81 solemnly declare here before you, gentle
men, that remain faithful to all the sentiments
Of my father, and that will persevere in the
line of political principles which served as
rule to my uncle, the Emperor Alexander, and
to my father. These principles are those Of
the holy alliance. IL that alliance no longer
exists, it was not my fathers fault. His inten.
lions we're always upright and loyal, and If
recently they we're misunderstood by some per.
sons, do not doubt that God and history will
do him justice.
81 am ready to contribute toward a good IN.
derstanding on the conditions which he ac-
copied. Like him, desire peace, and wish to
see the evils Of war terminated but, if the con-
ferences which are about to open at Vienna do
not lead to result honorable for us, then,
gentlemen, at the head Of my faithful Russia,
| will combat, with the whole nation, and will
perish sooner than yield.
GAS to my personal sentiments for your
Sovereign, Undressing the minister OF Prussia
they have not varied. have never doubted OF
the fraternal affection and friendship which his
Majesty the King, always had for my father,
and have already told you how grateful am
to him for il.
u am deeply sensible Of the kind words
which the Emperor has caused to be trans
mitted TO me on this occasion, Undressing The
minister Of Austria, and his Majesty cannot
doubt Of the sincere affection which my father
