FATE OF THE ENGLISH IN THE CR1MEA.-Th

FATE OF THE ENGLISH IN THE CR1MEA.-The
worst enemy of England could scarcely take pleasure
in the following picture of the condition OF her
army in the Crimea, presented in the London Times
of the 18th ut:
We may read the future there as plainly as the
crew of the Prince when the single chain that held
them from the precipice frowning over their heads
snapped at last, and they knew they were at the
mercy OF the storm. The remnent of the British
army might be about fifteen or seventeen thousand
bayonets at the last date. About hundred day
were sent to the hospital, never to return fit for
service, and nearly as many saved their country
further trouble by dying OH the spot. Here is a
regular drain of six thousand month against no
further reinforcements worth taking into account
At this rate Lord Raglan and his staff would be the
sole survivors Of the expedition about the 10th of
March. The weather has been worse than ever
and was expected to be worse STILL heavy snow,
rapid thaw, severe frost, bitter North wind frozen
trenches impossible roads hardened to the consis-
tency OF rock ruts treacherously filed with driving
snow, officers found sufocated by their charcoal
fires sixty horses frozen to death in one night and
all that Engishmen have read of before, when they
could afford to am,lse themselves with the hor-
rible in the narrative of Napoleon's Russian cam
paign.

Mrs. SwIssHELM ON HYDRopArH1.-(The
celebrated edtress of the Pittsburg Family
Visitor,l
''In 1776, patriotic fever broke out in this
country which became epidemic. Our father
in-law, then youth, had prolonged and
severe attack of the disease; and once he was,
with large number of the afflicted, on the
banks of the Delaware, under the charge Of
Doctor George Washington. One night, he
knew by the symptoms that all his patients
would have a gunpowder paroxysm in the
morning, unless some measures were taken to
prevent it; and he ordered them all a plunge in
the Delaware, rigorous rubbing with ice cakes,
to swim to the other shore, and then had them
packed away in wet blankets until next morn
ing. Some died from the effects of the treat
ment, but to the patient in whom we were most
particularly interested it resulted in confirmed
asthma, which descended to his children So
our bigger half gets up coughing and Wheel
ing spell almost every evening, until lately,
when it begins. he takes q few drops of flyers
Cherry Pectoral,' which gives him immediate
relief Thus we have present experience in
our family, which says, that although water is
all the medicine we require, other people may
need something else"

~ story is told by London correspondent
of Boston paper, which, as a new dodge, is de-
serving of notice. A subscription was raised to
present an eminent mercantile man with service
of plate of the value of $4,000 Of this amount
81, 500 was speedily subscribed. The eminent man
said to the treasurer, go, never mind the rest,
hand ME over the money, and will add the $500
myself, and hand the order to the silversmithn
The matter was arranged accordingly, and the plate
finished and sent home, for which the recipient
gave his bill at few months. Before it came due
he stopped payment, and the sversmith figures
among his creditors; and worse than ALL the plate
has been disposed of, and has no shadow among
the rest of his surrendered property.

INTERESTING ExrRAcr.-The Baltimore Sun

| INTERESTING ExTRAcT.-The Baltimore Sun
has correspondent at Constantinople whose
letters are refreshing and delightful in the
extreme in these days Of mediocrity and pro-
erosion.
The following description of the famed s'Se-
ragio" is from his pen:
The sevai Bornou, or the Sesapio, as it is
called oy the Franks, occupies the obtuse point
OF the extremity of Europe upon which the city
is built, covering with its palaces and its gar
dens the site of ancient Byzantium. The
original buildings, though greatly increased by
successive Sultans, were erected by Mahomet
after the conquest Of Constantinople. Like the
city of which it forms the extreme point, its
shape is that of triangle, one side overlooks
the Marmora, another where is principally
clustered the Imperial Harems rests upon the
harbor, whilst the longest faces the city. The
walls which encircle the whole are nearly three
miles in length, portions of which were origi-
naly built with the city of Byzantium, six
hundred years before the christian era They
are composed of solid masonry fanked at equal
distances by square and octagonal towers, and
have been well preserved by the Sultans
Crossing from Gaata the lowest bridge upon
the Golden Horn, and winding in south west
cry ufecuon our way through narrow and dirty
streets, we arrive at large triangular space
bounded on one side the Aga Sophia, and on the
others by the walls of the Seraglio This place
is ornamented by fountain beautifully deco
rated, built by Sultan Achmet III, and shaded
by sycamores so ancient that they might be
coeval with the city. At the eastern extremity
stands the principal entrance to the Seraglio,
the sublime Porte, from which the Ottoman
Empire takes its names. 1t consists of large
single arch, the interior decorated with ar
chesques painted in fresco, with covering
having deep overhanging cornice. Over the
bend of the arch is placed in large gilt letters
the cypher of the Sultan. 1t is 1anked by two
deep inches, in which in former days were
placed in silver dishes the heads of political
offenders their crimes being written on tablets
placed above them. Though it was built by
Mahomet II it has nothing, save its extreme
oriental appearance, that would make it as the
entrance of the chief palace of the Eastern
Empire. When the Sultans inhabited the
seraglio, this gate was guarded by sixty Ca
didjis armed with slight white wands; now
few i'll dressed soldiers and eunuchs lounge
about it smoking the everlasting chiboque.

The OLD PARrIEs.-Nothing is more eyiielI
than that the old parties are giving out. They
appear to possess neither heart nor head; and,
as Tor conscience, it is a possession they have
lad no claim to for years. The best portion OF
these parties has enrolled themselves in the
modern-the American party. Hence its hume
real strength, and political and moral power.
The time had not only come for the dissolu-
ton of the old, but for the formation of a new
party. Accordingly the American party cams
into existence: as much direct political loci.
as it was public necessity. 1t to-day is tn
party; not only holding the balance of power,
but almost having it supremely.
There is heavy responsibility attached to
the new party, whether in State National af-
fairs. We are watched with a close eye by
what little there remains of our opponents and
it becomes us so to direct our affairs that they
shall stand the test of the hardest criticism

The PROCESS or NATuRALIzATIoN.- bill is
in progress through the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts, and has. if We mistake not, attained a
point the next step to which is assured success
to restrict the naturalization of foreigners to the
courts of the United States; thus relieving the
State courts of great deal Of enormous duty,
as well as annoying imputation and suspicion.
We see from time to time indications that this
subject is engaging the attention of the Legis-
latures of other States in the Union.
It seems to US as being nothing more than
just and proper that the question of qualification
to vote at the elections Of United States officers
is one to be settled in the courts of the United
States. True it is that the power to do this
has not been delegated to the General Govern
ment by the States, and therefore it is one that
cannot be exercised. But reason, as it seems
to us, emphatically and clearly dictates that to
the courts Of the United States the question
should be referred; and we are glad to see that
several Of the States are passing laws to that
effect. viii not Louisiana follow suit

London Morning Herald:
We have visited with considerable gratifca-
ton the repertoire of foreign newspapers of
all nations at Hollo,ray's Pill and Ointment

immense amount Of information on all subjects,
political, mercantile, statistical, and philoso-
phical, from at least 1000 foreign papers
received in this Establishment in the course of
each week. This immense collection of journals
affords in the great city advantages to the en-
terprising capitalists, and commercial world
generally source of intelligence most invalua-
BILE and never before attained. The establish
ment is visited by the nobility members of
parliament, contributors Of the press, mercantile
men, and also by an immense number Of distin-
guished foreigners Of all nations. tismanaged
by several clerks, who classify and file the
papers in portfolios, which they exhibit gratui-
tously to respectable visitors applying for in

HICKORY NUr On-A New Light.-Hickory
nut oil, considered equal to the best lard or sperm
oil for burning and machinery, is manufactured by
Mr.. Warren Estabrook, Of Dayton IN this State
The nut oil remains in fluid state at very low tenn
persture, and it does not gum like the ordinary
qualities of oil It is used In very delicate ma
chinery, and when properly refined, could be used
BY watchmakers. The pignut IS preferred in the
manufacture, on account of its thin shel, and
greater abundance Of oily material. Mr.. Estabeook
believes that oil manufactured froan the Ordinary
shell bark and large sweet hickory nut, would come
into general use for the table.

LIEUT.. HuSTER.-A western paper we'll re-
marks that Lieut.. GO Alvarado" Hunter must
have some of the qualities of that species of fish
which thrives in the water which flows from the
hot spring of Arkansas-for as he is always in
hot water, and most of the time of his own
heating, we are bound to suppose he thrives
best there. Upon this the Bichmoud (Va.)
Dispatch remarks, that his recent grave offence,
in returning from military station without
leave, has but one precedent in our naval histo-
ry, SO far as we know. Capt. Hoffman, in the
sloop Boston, ran away from the same station,
Com. Creighton being in command of the Brazil
squadron, some twenty years ago. Creighton
gave chace in his flag ship, and repeatedly fired
at the Boston; but the sloop proved the fastest
sailer, and Hoffman made his escape. 1t was
said at the time by those who knew the two
men, that blood would have been shed if
Creighton had overhauled him. Hoffman was
tried, and would have lost his commission, but
some extenuation was found in the tyrannical
conduct of Creighton, and the Court, which
sentenced him to be cashiered, recommended
him to the mercy Of the Executive, in coaside-
ration of his gallant services in the war of 1912
he having brought safely home the prize
corvette Cyane, after her capture, with her
consort the Levant, by Com. Stewart, in the
Constitution. The President accordingly mo-
difed the sentence, and he was only suspended
for two or three years.
