For THE HIocUPs.-Travelling some time since
by railroad from Columbus to Baltimore took
nv seat Immediately in front of gentleman
who was suffering under paroxysm OF hiccupss,
to degree that had never before witnessed;
In few minutes q person appeared from the end
of the car and took seat beside him, when ne
said: s'Sir, can you tell me what is good for the
hiccups2 i have been afflicted in the way you
see me since yesterday noon, and have had no
rest or relief from any physician to whom ap-
Piled for assistance. am worn out with suffer-
ing" To whom the person replied "Sir, will
cure YOU in less than two minutes by the watch.
Have confidence, for am sure / can do it
Hold up high above your head two fingers OF
your hand lean back in your seat, open your
mouth and throat so as to give free passage to
your lungs breathe very long and softly and
look very steadily at your fingers" In less than
the time specified the cure was performed, one
hiocup only occurring during the trial The pa
tient could not express his gratitude, while the
practitioner only extracted from him as fee the
promise that he would extend the knowledge
which he had impaired as freely as he had re-
ceived it, assuring him that he would never be
disappointed in the result We were all struck
with the fact Since then have often had oc-
casion to practice upon patients in the same dis
order, and never without the most signal success

From the Baltimore Patriot.
History of the ssstar spangled Banner"

HlSLOry Ol tuC 0toA SJPun6lCu VoAhOAe
The "Star Spanged Banner" has, since the
day it was written, been National Anthem
The circumstances under which it was compos-
ed by FRANoIs s. KEY are fully explained in the
annexed article, which we take from the Balti-
more Patriot OF September 20, 1864. The Song
was originally procured from Mr.. Key by the
late lamented John P. Skinner, who handed tito
the editor of the Patriot, Col. Isaac Munroe, and
who published it lin this paper THUS handing it
down to posterity.
From the Baltimore Patriot, September 20. 1916.
The following beautiful and animating effusion
which ia destined long to outlast the occasion,
and outliye the impulse which produced it, has
been extensively circulated In our frstrenew-
al of its publication, we rejoice in an opportuni-
ty to enliven the sketch of an exploit ilustri-
Gus with strains which so fifty celebrate it. This
incompatible song was composed under the fol-
lowing circumstances: A gentleman Francis
s. Key, ESQ. l hadleft Baltimore with flag OF
truce for the purpose Of getting released from
the British, fleet friend of his, who had been
captured at Marlborough. He went as far as
the mouth of the Patuxet, and was not permit
ted to return, lest the intended attack on Balt-
more should be disclosed. He was therefore
brought up the Bay to the mouth OF the PataP-
SEQ, where the flag vessel was kept under the
guns of frigate, and he was compelled to wit
ness the bombardment of Fort McHenry, which
the admiral had boasted that he would carry IN n
few hours, and that the city must tall he
watched the flag at the Fort through the whole
day with an anxiety that can be better felt than
described, until the night prevented him from
seeing it. In the night he watched the bomb
shells, and at early dawn his eye was again gree
ted by the proudly waving flag of his country.

Star snanpled Banner.

O, say, can you see, py the dawn's early light
What so proudly we haipd at the twilights last
cleaning,
Whose stripes and bright stars through the perlous
fight,
Der the ramparts we watch'd wers so gallantly
streaming;
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting In
air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still
therel
OF say, does that star spanged banner yet wave
oer the land of the free and the home of the brave
On the shore, dimly seen hro ugh the mists OF the
deep, a
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence re-
poses,
What is that which the breeze, Ger the towering
Steep
As it ftfully blows, half conceals, half discoses
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings nrs'
beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream
IT'S the star spangled banner 0, long may it wave
Ger the land of the free, and the home of the brave
And where is that land who SO vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion,
home and country shall leave US no moref
There blood has wash'd ont their foul footsteps
pollution;
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of fight or the gloom ofthe grave
And the star spangled banner in triumph dotn

Der the land of the free, and the home of the brave
O thus be it ever when freeman shall stand
Between their loved home and the wars desoia

Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven res

Praise the power that hath made and preserved u'

Then conquer we must when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto-"In God is our trust u

A Russian Lady Jealous of Her serf.

The Allqemeine Zeitung, German paper OF
this city, gives the following illustration OF serf
dom in Russia, as of recent occurrence Among
the serfs owned by widow lady was girl who
had been brought up with unusual indulgence,
had received superior education, and acquired
manners far more cultivated than belonged to
her class to which advantage was added the
natural gift of on attractive person. AT an'sar-
ly age she was apprenticed at ST. Petersburg to
a French dressmaker; and having stained to
some skill in the business, she was after time
offered profitable employment. This her mis-
tress permitted her to accept, on the usual pay
ment of an o6rok to herself in lieu of personal
service. The girl conducted herself well in her
situation, acquired knowledge of the French
language and formed habits Of considerable re-
fnsment. Here she attracted the notice Of q
Russian officer of the rank of colonel, who in
due time offered her marriage. The girl accept
ed the proposal, end nothing remained but 10
obtain her freedom from her mistress. The pur-
chase money hecolonel was willing to pay
This ought to have been regulated by the o6ro6
which the girl had paid, calculated at so many
years purchase. The officer, however, was not
disposed to cavil about the price, but on apply
ing to the mistress, to whom he unfortunately
explained his purpose, he received for answer
that on no terms whatever would she emanci-
pate her slave. Every effort was used to shake
the resolution, which appeared uhaccountabie ;
but argument, entreaty and money were alike
unavailing, and the lady remained inexorable,
giving in the end the clue to her obstinacy by
Observing that she would never see her serf take
precedence of her, as she would do if married to
. colonel. while she was herself but the widow
of q major. The match was necessarily broken
of, and the girls prospect of happiness destroy
ed To complete her misery, her mistress re-
voked her leave of absence and ordered her i'm
mediately to return to her native village. Ar
rived in the village the unhappy girl, accustom
ed to the habits and comforts of civilized life,
was clothed in the coarse garments OF an ordina-
ry peasant, and was forthwith ordered to marry
a rough n.onjik of the same class. Revolving at
this ,yranny and refusing to obey, she was hog-
ged, and though she still resisted for while, a
long continuance of cruel and degrading treat
ment conquered her in the end, and she was
forced to submit to the miserable lot entailed
upon her by the wretched Jealousy OF her heart

ROMANTIC OusroM OF POLISH MA1pxss.-At
Warsaw, on the oath of July, the annual fete Of
"foating crowns" was celebrated, and it attract
ed, as usual, a large crowd of spectators of all
classes. It consists in the young girls of the city
carrying wreaths of roses decked with ribbons
to the Vistuls, casting them into the river, and
watching them as they are carried away by the
current. The manner in which they are borne
along by the waters is supposed to predict the
future destiny of those to whom they belong, and
accordingly the girls make demonstrations Of
Joy or sorrow. A somewhat similar practice 10
prevalent among the young girls Of India.

CURIOUS STATISTICS OF RAas.-It is fact that
nearly two-thirds of the rags annually imported
to the United States from all foreign countries.
come from Italy. The reason of this is, that the
Turks, Greeks and Syrians use vast quantities
of cheap cotton cloth and the whole coast is
swept by Greek and Italian coasting smacks,
who trade for the rags which country pedlars
collect, and taken thence to Genoa and Trieste.
They are thence with their own country's sup
ply, shipped to America, because there being no
free press and free books printed in Italy, there
is no home demand to work the rags up into
paper. No country where the mass Of the no.
pulation read and write can afford to export
rags. Hence rags and custom-house returns
yield clue to the actual state Of society. No
Protestant country exports rags; only Roman
Catholic countries can afford to do that busi-
ness.

SINGULAR CIRoUMsTANoE.--We understand
that for the last few weeks, the martins have
made the extensive orchard Of General Black
we'll, of CLARK, roosting place, and that millions
resort there every night. They commence COM
ing in about sun-down, and the whole heavens
from that time until dark are perfectly black
with them. They come in such numbers, that
the noise made by them is perfectly overwhelm-
ing; but at dark the noise ceases, and nothing
more is heard of them until daylight, when .they
take their departure in every direction, to re-
semble again in the evening This is certainly
an unusual thing, and has never before taken
place, at least in this vicinity.-LeTingtoa (hy)

Jealous friend of the man whose trumpet tones
had proclaimed the war in the House of Repre-

it in blaze of glory. He endeavored by cor

would make one President, the other Secretary,
with view to the succession, and establishing
this double interest for himself as the represent
alive of Pennsylvania. to open the way to his

festooned and wreaths and chaplets hung between
them.
To Mr.. W. @. Parke and Mr.. Paul Emmert is
due the credit of producing the nearest approach
to fairy land ever arrived at. The scene was
in real life, one of those which we have often
beheld with delight, and supposed to be CON
fined to the stage. The moon kindly hid her
light during the early part of the evening but
the curiosity of the sex to which she is given
could not be restrained, and she began to peep
in time to see by whom her chaste rivals were
conducted to the supper room.
Her Majesty's evening dress was an exquisite
" airy fabric of lace, embroidered in white silk
and silver, interspersed with marabout feathers
and worn over an underdress Of white satin

was elegant and ample, and when the company
dispersed there were none but said-"Long live
