During an interview which Martinez. the
Russian comedian and mimic, succeeded in
obtaining with Prince Yolkhonsky, High
Steward, the late Emperor Nicholas walked
into the room unexpectedly, yet with design,
as was soon made evident. Telling the actor
that he had heard Of his talents, and should
like to see specimen Of them, he babe him
mimic the old minister. This feat was per-
formed with so much gusto that the Emperor
laughed immoderately and then, to the great
horror Of the poor actor. desired to have him
sell taken oil. ltis physically impossible, I"
pleaded Martinez. " Nonsense" said Nicho-
las, :" insist on its being DONE" Finding
himself in the horns Of dilemma, the mimic
took heart Of grace, and with promptitude
and presence Of mind buttoned his coat over
his breast, expanded his chest, threw up his
head. and assuming the Imperial port to.the
best OF his power, strobe across the room and
back then, stopping opposite the Minister,
he cried, IN the exact tone and manner Of the
Car, Volkhonsky! pay NJ. Martinez 600

Remedy for Scalds and Burns.

IN the American Medical Gazette for March
DIR. Reese thus earnestly reiterates his advice
to apply flour to sealds and burns: 1--WE still
see reported. almost daily, an appalling num-
Der OF deaths by burns and scalds, not one Of
which, we take upon ourselves to say, need
prove fatal, or would do 50 il few pounds Of
wheat flour could be promptly applied to the
wounds made by fire, and repeated until the in.
flammatory stage had passed. We have ne
yer known a fatal case Of scaldng or burning
in which this practice has been pursued, dur
ring more than thirty years experience, and
having treated hundreds in both public aud
private practice. We have known the most
extensive burns by falling into caldrons OF
boiling oil, and even moulten copper, and yet
the patients were rescued by this simple and
cheap remedy, which. from lis infallible sue
cess, should supplant all the fashionable nos
trums, whether oil, co,ton, lead water. ice
turpentine, or pain-extractors, every one Of
which has been tried thousand tunes with
fatal result, and the victims have died in ex.
cruciating agony, when few handluls of flour
would have calmed them to sleep, and rescued
them from pain and death. Humanity should
prompt the profession to publish and fepub.
lish the facts on this subject, which are es.
tablished BY the authority Of standard medi-
cal works on both sides Of the Atlantic.
Flour is the remedy, and the only one, in
severe cases Of scalding aud burning casual
ties, and which esle SO often destroy life.
Let US keep i before the people. while the
explosion Of steam boilers and burning 1uid
lamps are 50 rife all over our country"

IMPROVED VARIETIES OF WHEAT.-There
have lately been imported from France, for
the agricultural division of the Patent Office,
four varieties Of wheat: The Hungarian wheat
the Neapoitan white wheat, well suited for
Southern States, but too tender for the North
ern; the Saumur Wheat, and the early Noe
wheat. As the two latter have the property
OF ripening some days before our common
varieties Of wheat, if they otherwise succeed
in this climate great point will be accom>
plished. A single week gained in the ripen-
ing will often secure the crop from the inju
ry of the rust or the fly, independently Of
the advantages to be obtained in the market
The Saumur wheat is originally from the val
ley Of Anjou, southeastern province Of
France, and is very remarkable variety oi
winter wheat. The ear is strong and full,
Of reddish color, and it is very much es-
teemed by farmers. The straw is very white,
and grows higher than that Of ordinary wheat,
while it is also larger and sweeter. The
Noe wheat was introduced BY MIR. De Noe,
and is commonly known under the name ol
blue wheat, and, owing to its hardy and pro-
ductive nature, is gradually superseding the
Saumur wheat in the central parts Of France.
Il is much sought after on account Of its pre-.
cocity for mesln or soilng crop. 1t would
succeed well as March wheat if sown ear.

Draining. John Johnston, OF Seneca coun.
ty, N. Y. gives in the American Agricultu.
rist the following plan to ascertain whether
land needs draining -" Dig holes about two
and half feet deep in different parts Of the
field Y; but cover over the holes 50 that the
rainwater cannot get into them, and if they
fill with water until within a foot or so Of the
surface, in ten or twelve hours, then his land
requires and will pay well for draining.
think hear F. L. b., and many others, say
that these holes will fill up on any land, il the
ground is wet at the time. But tell them
it is not the case. You may dig as many
drains as you please on dry lands, and they
will never run water unless the snow is melt
Ing on the surface. If +. !. B., had stood
over the making Of between forty and fifty
miles Of drains, as have done, he would be
a better judge Of what was wet and what was
dry land. To the unprartised eye, land that
looks dry, is gorged with water six inches
below the surface"
