CoRNs.-Dr. Hall, in his Journal of Health,
says :-"Never let anything harder than your
finger nail touch corn; pairing it as certainly
makes it take deeper root, as cutting weed
off at the surface. The worst kind of corns are
comfortable as follows; Soak the feet in quite
warm water for half an hour before going to
bed, then rub on the corn with your finger for
several minutes, some common sweet oil. Do
this every night; and every morning, repeat
this rubbing in of oil with the finger; bind on
the toe during the day, two or three thickness
Of buckskin, with hole in the centre to re-
ceive the corn; in less than week in ordinary
cases, if the corn does not fall out you can
pinch it out with the finger nail; and weeks,
and sometimes months will pass away, before
you will be reminded that you can repeat the
process. Corns, like consumption, are never
cured, but may be indefinitely postponed. The
oil and soaking softens and loosens the corn;
while the buckskin peotects it from pressure,
which causes it, perhaps, to be pushed out, BY
the underground Of the parts.'

AN AMUSING MIsTAKE.-A gentleman ofdoubt
was going out in his carriage to make some calls
with his wife when, discovering that he had
left his visiting cards, he ordered his footman,
recently come into service, to go to the mantle
piece in the sitting room and bring the cards he
should see there. The servant did as he was
ordered, retained the articles to be used as he
was directed, and off started the gentleman,
sending in his footman with cards wherever the
"not at home" occurred. As those were very
numerous, he turned to the servant with the
question: elbow many cards have you left?
"Well Sir" says the footman, very innocently,
"there's the king of spades, the six Of hearts
and the ace Of clubs!" "The duce !" exclaimed
his master. "That's gone" said John. ~

ODD AMUsEMENT.-The ladies of New leland
according to an English Missionary, have way
of their own to divert themselves:
The chief amusement of the females was, and
still is the tangi, OF crying. The ladies pride
themselves on their doing this in the most af-
fecting way, so that stranger would be de-
ceved, and not think it possible that it could be
mere mockery of woe, and yet it is nothing
more; tears are shed in abundance, and the
hands are wrung, as if suffering the most poig-
nant grief, whilst the most heart-rending cries
excite the sympathy Of the company. The Ia
dies have their heads adorned with fillets of
leaves, or of dogs hair, and so much joy do
they experience in this exciting amusement, that
they look forward to a good crying with the
same desire young lady in England does to a
dance or ball. =..1

The DIARY OF AN ANCIENT HuNrER.-A book
Is shortly to be published in London by COL Raw
linson, the arch@ologist upon further discoveries
which he has dug out Of the ruins of Babylon and
Ninevah. The correspondent of an English news
paper says: THE Colonel has found Nebuchad-
nezzars hunting party, with notes and portraits of
his dogs, sketched by himself with his name under
them. He mentions in it having been i'll, and while
he was delrious he thought he had been turned
out to graze like the beasts of the field" Is not
this wonderful confederation of Scripture? Raw
linson also found pot Of preserves in excellent
state, and gave some to the queen to taste. How
little Nebuchadnezzar's cook dreamt, when making
them, that twenty-five centuries after, the queen Of
England would eat some of the identical preserves
that figured at her masters table! We don't see
exactly how the statement Of Nebuchadnezzar cor.
roborates Daniel. The king intimates that while
in "deirious condition" he thought he had been
turned out to Craze; whilst Daniel informs us that
"he was driven from men, and did eat grass as
oxen, and his body was covered with the dews of
heaven, till his hairs were grown as eagles fcath
ers, and his nails like birds claws"

generally is level until we reach Paris.
+ Indeed it waspleasant riding through the streets
Of Paris again. Things seemed familiar to U.s. and
after locating ourselves once more in our hotel we
took delightful stroll on "les Boulevards" until
the dews Of evening were falling and night had
thrown her mantle over the face Of nature.
During the first day after our arrival here from
the south Of Europe, we devoted the time princi-
pally to quiet rest which was indeed luxury after
such severe and constant fatigue. For some days
had only taken birds eye view of the shops of
this great metropolis but then determined to find
out their advantages and disadvantages Generally
speaking, they are very small, having no convent
ences, and, strange to say, containing handsome
goods. Visited several large establishments, well
fitted up. Twas astonished by the manner the
clerks and shop-keepers serve you. In the first
place, they know strangers the moment they see
them, and speaking their language does not de-
ceive them. They then practice most abomina-
BILE system of cheating, and do not hesitate to
practice rudeness Ihave been compelled to think
that the politeness Of the French, as nation, does
not extend farther than the drawing-room.
l have been pleased in witnessing the perfection
Of the police system here. The gems d'armes are
stationed at every few squares, while at every public
place given number are stationed within and
without to maintain peace and order. This ia done
during the day as well as at night

tered on Saturday night by burglars, and robbed
of about &, 600 worth of rich goods The ras-
calls had a wagon in the neighborhood, in which
they intencd conveying away their plumber, and
this they procured; but while in act OF up to the
store, they were observed by policemen Van Du-

desperate fight, in which one of them got his
head, nearly split open by blow from officer
Van Duzer's club, the two men were secured
The fellow, seeing that his confcderates had lal-

1OItIA RAILROAD
We can the attention Of our readers and the.
travelling public to the card Of these Roads,
found in our columns, and take this occasion to
spe.k Of the two roads. For series of years.
the great Southern line Of traveltha been con-
fned to monopoly, via the Richmond, Freder-
;cksburg & Potomac Railroad, thence by steamer
to Washington City. Within short time past
the completion Of the Orange 4 Alexandria Road
u intersect the Virginia Central at GordOnsyille
in the county Of Orange, has effected q long
needed result, namely: a continuous railroad
from Alexandra TO Richmond, thus avoiding the
DELAYS os water navigation and incident danger
The delays from ice are thus avoided, and IN a
short time, We learn the road from Washington
CITY 70 Alexandria will be completed, thus pre-.
sentibg a continuous line Of railway from the
North and West to Richmond by these two
roads, which nov carry the great Southern mail
Besides this, the Gentratis now running reg
ularly TO = point some distance west Of Staunton
in the Valley Of Virginia, thus making the route
by Wheeling and Alexsndris to the Virginia.
Springs the hest, quickest and most desirable
route even for travellers from the Southwest and
Western States, to the Virginia Springs. The
trsyel west of US has long needed information as
to the facilities furnished by these roads, and
we hope that they viii only remember the line
and then we know there viii be no question as
to the routes, hereafter We wonder that the
Baltimore d Ohio Road, with that zeal for its in
tsrests which distinguishes its Directors has not
arranged Jt:U through tickets with these Com
psnisss Travellers do not like change, they do
not like Observation-Disclosures Of looking up baggage,
: and they do not like to have to be crowdinga

The true system nowadays, for through tray
slers, is to give them 6es1er taeilitiss Put a
stomp on them at starting which will carry them
to any railroad point in the United States, with
cut interruption or trouble and we are well as
sured that the line which approaches the nearest
this policy will ever be the popular line with
travellers. The Baltimore Road has already the
best accommodations, the best conductors, and

LAW JOURNA1.

We are in receipt of the first number of THE
Quarterly Law Journal" published by J. W.
Randolph, Richmond, Va, and edited by A. B.
Guieon Of Richmond We hail the advent of
this Journal as an epoch inthe jurisprudence of
the South, and IS supplying what has been long
needed by the Southern bar, and especially by
the bar Of Virginia 1t has often been q sub
ject Of remark that from the North came all our
legal Journals, also in common'wit the most of
the literature Of the Union. Why should this
be? If it be true that the real independence Of
State consists in her producing at home all
things necessary to supply the wants other cit
liens, then he who writes good book, the pub
Usher who produces it, the manufacturer who
produces the paper, the type setter and the
pressmau, all are entitled to the thanks of those
who would see our State take q true stride to-
wards Independence. Such q work has Mr..
Randolph undertaken in the Journal before us,
and shall he be remuneratedr is the question
which we PROFOUND to the bar Of Virginia and
the South. Why need we look to Little 4
Brown, Garfield & Co., and others for our legal
essays, when they can, aud should, be pro-
ducsd at home, from the pens Of our own bar,
upon our own cases, and in elucidation of our
own laws and statutes For our own part we
have long since determined that the true policy
of the South was TO encourage Southern trade,
Southern literature, Southern education, South
srn every thing, and that from no hostility to
our Northern friends, butupon the true princi-
1a ths& he xh1 selIa vInnst and huvs IaaSf IL the
prosperous man We would have Virginia sell
more and buy less, aud we would apply this
principle to her literature AZ well as everything
elss
Tho present number compares most faxorabty
with Livingston's, Can6eld's and Little L
Browns legal publications. We hope the pub
fishers will spare no effort to continue it such,
and to improve it Every lawyer in Virginia
who takes law magazine should take this, and
those who do not should take it also. We hope
thatthe bar win sidit by contributions of essays
sud reports Of decisions, aud that Mr.. Randolph
will make arrangements to procure reports from
the important points of this State and the
South The single article Measure Of Damages
escOntr0ctu" is worth the price of the Journal,
Whilethe extracts from the "Report of the Re
visors, put the bar of Virginia in possession Of
aksy ofths Code which they all desire and can
not otherwise obtain.
