VI properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the greai dis
advantage arising from its nanseons tase has
hitherto prevented it's administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual niodus opsronat' of prescribing Al, either
IN the form OF an Emulsion or Geatnous Cap
sules has been found satisfactory being liable
10 some objection, either from the difficulty expe
rlenced by some individuals in the deglutilion OF
the Capsule or the small quantity of Copaiba gen
orally ioond in the Emulsion. M an l1tn@
Joyce's tasteless solution of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced TO The
medical profession, as IL contains % per cent OF
the pure,I Para Copaiba, without taste or smell
aud al time mixes clearly and freely with

physicians and anaiytica chemists the old and

Items of Interest.

The annual amount of wheat furnished
to ancient Rome, from Egypt, was estima-
ted at 100000 bushels.
The Egyptians practised the rotation of
crops. They sheared their sheep twice a
year. They practised the artificial hatch
ing of poultry.
The operation of sowing wheat, in Egypt,
requires three teams, and hand to scatter
the grain. A plow, drawn BY pair OK
en-, went first, to stir the soil; next came
the sower, sowing the seed from basket;
another plow followed; and the last team
Ia pair of horses-drew roller, which
pressed the ground compactly together;
and an overseer walked along, watching the
work.
Deeds, in Egypt, were signed BY sixteen
witnesses-they also contained a minute
description of the seller and the buyer of
the lot conveyed.
The Romans were among the greatest
farmers of the ancient world. The max
inns which we gather from their works on
farming prove this "Cut down your grain"
says Pliny, "before the kernel has got hard"
"Better two days too soon, than as many
too late" 'The masters eve is better than
his heel snake profit of other mems fol-
hes" "Be quick to plant, but slow to
build" These proverbs show that the peo-
pie who used them, had thought carefully
of what they were talking about.
The Moors, during their supremacy in
Spain, made of it one great garden. The
revenue of Saracenic Spain, alone amount
ed to $50. 900 year. The race now
ruling in Spain have the gift of running
and cursing everything they touch. They
cursed Holland while they had it. They
cursed Mexico when they had sway there.
They are sncking the hfe-blood from Cuba;
and they have withered Spain itself into
desert.

A Kansas Court.

A correspondent of the New York Times
writing from Lerenworth gives the follow
ing graphic description of a
SCENE IN THE MAYORS COURT OF LEAvEN-
WORTH.
One Pat Hagan, of New York city, a
proprietor of gambling room, was sitting
at his table waiting for custom. One of
the chivalry came in to try his luck. Hav-
ing no money, he borrowed $40 of Pat.
This amount he played and lost. Pat then
demanded the $40 he had borrowed
This the borrower refused to pay. Pat
then ordered him out of his place This
order he refused to comply with. A quar-
rel and fight ensued, in which the South
erner was roundly thrashed by Pat. The
chivalric gentleman went to his brigade,
and his companions in solid body and under
arms marched down upon Pats place.
Mayor Murphey, pro-Slayery man, inter
fered and the fight was prevented by ar
resting Pat and bringing him before the
Mayors court for trial The scene at the
Court room was ludicrous, yet an awful one
for a court of justice. When his honor
took his seat upon the bench, he was APP
parently trembling with fear. From the
scene before him, he perceived his life was
not worth fig, if he did not give his de-
cision against Pat. The Courtroom was
crowded with the members of the brigade,
all armed to the teeth. Some played with
their bowie knives, and others amused
themselves with now and then looking af-
ter the printing of their pistols. One bull
dog looking chap, with his neck drawn in
like a turtle, sat directly in front of his
Honor, and taking his revolver out, he held
it upon his lap, and all the while he kept
his benevolent-looking glance riveted upon
the Mayor, to the latter gentleman's seri-
Gus annoyance. The evidence was heard,
and as matter of course the Mayor decid-
ed against Pat, censured him for his con-
duct, and fined him by the way of teaching
him to behave better in the future. The
revolvers were more potent than all your
law-books. His Honor, the Mayor, looked
at the revolvers, then at the culprit and
then at the evidence, and at once saw as
clearly as possible that Pat was greatly in
the wrong, and punished him accordingly.
1t was understood by all present, that had
the Mayor decided in favor of Pat he
would not have lived five minutes after the
decision,

Love, DesertiOn---Bigamy
and Attempted Suicide.

A few weeks ago young Engllshman
whose name we forbear mentioning, came
to this country. Somewhere in the State
of New York he became acquainted with
woman about 35 years of age, who is
represented as Icing quite good-looking,
rather fascinating, and very frail. About
two weeks ago he married his charmer,
Notwithstanding the fact that he knew she
had led a dissolute life, and together they
came to this city, where they took lodg-
ings at hotel in Fourth street. After a
time the bride suddenly left her husband,
and on Wednesday last he heard that she
was at hotel on Chestnut street.
The husband Immediately went to his
wife and implored her TO again live with
him, but she refused, telling him that he
had no legal clam on her, as she already
had husband living in California. The
unfortunate man then procured a warrant
for her arrest, and she was taken before
Alderman Enue, who committed her to
answer the charge of bigamy. The prosecu-
tor afterward begged his wife off, and she
was released on straw ball. Subsequent
ly, finding that his wife was associated
with another man, be applied to have her
re-arested. This was of course not COM
piled with. 1t is alleged that the wife yes
terday sailed for Liverpool in the City Of
Baltimore, having succeeded in fascinating
some individual connected with that steam
er.
This morning, about o'clock, High
Constable Troft had his attention directed
to the deserted husband, who was stagger-
ing about in Independence square as
though he was intoxicated.
The officer took charge of the man, and,
upon examining his pockets, discovered an
ounce vial, that was almost emptied, and
which was labelled 'laudanum' The man
admitted that he had taken the contents
of the bottle a few minutes before, and pro-
tested that he did not wish to live.
The would-be-sucide was Immediately
taken to the Mayors office, and medical
aid was summond. A powerful emetic
administered with the desired result, and it
is probable he will recover from the effects
VI Ine polSon. sf
In the pocket of the foolish man an un-
sealed letter was found. 1t was dictated
to his fugitive wife and bore date this
morning. He informs her in the epistle
that he was about to destroy himself, pro-
tests the most ardent affection for her, as
sures her of his forgiveness, asks her to
pray for him, and admonishes her to be
careful of the man for whom she has des-
erted her husband.
The parents of the woman reside in
Binghamton, N. Y. and they are said to
be respectable.
Her wretched husband seems to be
infatuated with her, notwith-
her bad conduct Phi. Bale

The Loss and the Gain.

The Pittsburg Gazette says that if any
of its readers expect it 10 mourn over the
election of JAMES BUCHANAN, or despond
of the future triumph of freedom, they are
greatly mistaken. 1t considers itself in
common with large portion of its coun-
trymen, to have gained one step in our
march to certain success. When the Ne
braska Bill passed, there was no party of
Freedom in this country. The whole coun-
try was given over to compromises. The
Nebraska Bill gave shock to the moral
sense of the country. A new party was
founded, which in two years mas only not
succeeded in the first great battle fought.
In defeat, it commands the moral strength
of the country, and will be heard with re-
spect by any administration which can be
formed.
In losing one battle we have gained two
victories-great, real, and efficient victo-
ries. We have compelled the dismisscl of
the worst administration this country ever
knew, and compelled its successor to come
with minority, as it now seems, in every
free State of this Union! Pfuralities, by
the disunion of his opponents, have enabled
the candidate of the Pro-Slavery party 10
assume the reins of administration. These
victories are valuable. Noparty, no Pres
ident, can disregard the moral weight of
one-half the nation. If they could, utter
destruction would soon await them-a
truth which the election of 1854 and 1856
have demonstrated to all minds. But we
have done more than gain even these i'm
portant victories. We have laid foun-
dation for the Future, which neither time
nor talent can shake. We have put the
great, powerful and enlightened States of
New York and ONO, side by side, in the
cause of Freedom, We have added glo-
rious NEW ENGLAND. We have the Far
Northwest. We shall continue to battle
for Freedom and Humanity, rolling its
chariot on, till we have every State from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. We again
give our standard to the winds, freely,
hopefully, and shall shrink from no duty,
nor sink under any calamity, which finds
us supporting the Liberty and seeking the
Happiness of Man.
