A CARD.

Prompted by an honest desire of my heart, wish
to lay before the public case which deserves a
high commendaton, not only as an act Of scientific
skill but that of humanity also. About two years
ago, suddenly, and from causes unknown to me,
was seized with fit of epilepsy, which, owing to
my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon
a thorough medical treatment, and the discourage
ment which met with on attempting it, soon be-
came such (as was then led to believe) as to defy
the skill of physician. was frequently, while in
pursuit of my calling thrown down to the ground
without the slightest warning. and although insen.
sble to the agonies, yet despised the miseres of
life, and soon learned to look upon those who would
render me assistance or shelter me from danger as
enemies, who sought to prolong the misery of my
existence. While in this state, and having previ-
ous 10 my afiiction tasted the sweets OF life, was
once more induced TO attempt seeking aid of ply

How A SuNSTRoKE AFFECTS MAN.-The general
impression is that death by sunstroke is very pain.
full but the contrary would seem to be the fact, judg
ing from the following account of the effect of such
visitation, given by General Sir Q. J. Napier He
experienced an attack while in Scinde, where the
thermometer, according to Gen. N. himself was of as
much use to him as it would have been to boiling
lobster and wrote follows to of his daughters
" The sun-stroke was staggerer; yet my hope is to
die by one, for never can death come in easier
shape. l was just deadly sleepy it was deadly had
ton would have been tiredness, like that expert
enced at being suddenly walked up before time. This
was to degree almost to be called painful; then
came pleasant drowsiness, with anger that the doc
would that my horn had then sounded so easy, so
delightful, may say, the approach of death.
This resembles the accounts that have been given by
men who have been saved from freezing to death,
after having got far down into the dark valley
that the excess of heat and OF cold produce
precisely the same effects.

VALUABLE INFoRMATIoN.-An improved method
of bleaching straw hats is proposed and is described
as far surprising, in efficiency and beauty of result
any other known process, The soap is brushed off
clean with delicate brush. The hats, while yet
wet are immersed in BATH prepared Of three fourth
Of an ounce of suphite hydrosuphite Of soda and
four to six pounds of water and are freely handled
and pressed to promote the soaking in Of the ley
through the nterstices of the plaits No harm is to
be apprehended from this manipulation, as the pre-
vious washing has rendered the straw pliable and
without danger Of fracture. The hats are then re-
moved from the ley and threeiourths of an ounce of
muriatic acid of commerce being added and well
stirred into this ley the hats quky repunged in
it, To secure uniform action of the acid upon the
ley which is in the hats, particular must be taken
that the hats be submerged at once, and kept in this
situation. In order to prevent the escape Of the lib
Grated suphorous acid gas, the vessel employed is,
after the second immersion, kept closed until the
operation be completed this takes place in about
thirty minutes, more or less, according to the dark
ness OF the straws When sufficiently acted on by
the gas, the hats are removed washed clean in pure
water, dried, and finished as usual

The MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH FoREsHADOwED.-In
"Bailey's Dictionary" edition Of l730-one hundred
and twenty-seven years ago-nnder the word load
stone can be found the following foreshadowing Of
the magnetic telegraph
Y 'Sone authorities write that by the help of the
magnet, loadstone persons may communicate their
minds to friend at great distance--as, suppose,
one to be at London and the other at Pars--h each
of them have circular alphabet like the dial plate
of d clock, and needle touched with one magnet,
then at the same time the needle at London was
moved, that at Paris would move in like manner,
provided each party had secret notes for dividing
words, and the observation was made at set hour,
either of the day or of the night; and when one
party would inform the other OF any matter he is to
move the needle to those letters that will form the
words; that will declare what he would have the
other to know, and the other needle will move in the
same manner. This may be done reciprocally."
When we reflect that at the time this book was
printed magnetism was derived solely from the load
stone-that electricity was only known las power
or property whereby amber and few other sub
stances attracted straws and similar light bodes'
that it not till twenty-five years afterward " that
Franklin raised electricity to the dignity of science"
by proving its identity with the terrible thunderbolt
that galvanism was not known until 790-that the
next great step, the discovery Of electromagnetic,
was not made until lS20and that the final triumph,
the invention of the acknowledgment, was not
achieved until 1S37-When we consider all the above
facts, this extract from old Bailey seems indeed pro
phetc and inspired. It is, il possible, yetmore won
derful that the process so infinitely described by
Bailey is almost identical with that pursued in the
manipulation Of Wheatstone telegraph - the tele-
graph generally used in England.
