Friendly chide her daughters; for the mea-

yet complete.
To relieve me from the intolerable state Of
perspiration which this accident had caused,
without considering what did, 1 wiped my
face with that ill-fated handkerchief which
was still wet with the consequences of the fall
of Xenophon, and covered all my features with
streaks of ink in every direction. The baro-
net himself could not support this shock, but
joined his lady in the general laugh; while 1
sprung from the table in despair, rushed out
of the house, and ran home in an agony of
confusion and disgrace which the most poign-
ant sense of guilt could have excited.
There, without having deviated from the
path of moral rectitude, am suffering tor
ments Ikea ssgobIin'' cursed. The lower half
of me has been almost boiled, my tongue and

upon my forehead; yet these are but trifling
considerations to the everlasting shame which
1 must feel whenever this adventure shall be
mentioned.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS EDIBLE STORY RE-
LATINO TO ITS PoIsoS.-To give you an idea Of
the long time this poison retains its property,
1 shall relate curious but well authenticated
series of facts, which took place in central
district of the State of Pennsylvania, some
twelve or fifteen years ago.
A farmer was so slightly bit through the
boot by a rattlesnake, as he was walking to
view his ripening corn fields, that the pain
felt was thought by him to have beeni the
scratch of thorn, not having seen or heard
the reptile. Upon his return home, he feis
on a sudden, violently sick at the stomach,
vomited with great pain, and died within
few hours.
Twelve months after this, thei eldest son
who had taken his fathers boots,!put them on
and went to church at some distance. On his
going to bed that night, whilst drawing Oft his
boots, he felt slightly scratched on the leg but
merely mentioned it TO his wife, and rubbed
the place with his hand. In a few hours af-
terwards he was awaked by violent pains;
complained of general giddiness frequent
" and expired before any succor could be ap-
piled with success; the cause of his illness
was also quite mystery.
In the course of time, his effects were sold
and second brother, through flial affection,
purchased the boots, and if remember right
ly, put them on about two years after. As he
drew them on, he felt scratch, and complain
ed of it, when the widowed sister, being pres
ent, recollccted that the same pain had been
felt by her husband on the like occasion. The
youth suffered and died in the same way that
his brother died before him.
These repeated and singular deaths being
rumored in the country, a medical gentleman
called upon the friends Of the deceased to in
| quire into the particulars, and at once pro-
| nounced their deaths to have been occasioned
| by venom. The boots that had been the cause
| of complaint, were brought to him, when he
| cut one open with care, and discovered the
| extreme point of the fang of rattesnake is
suing through the leather, and assured the
people that this had done all the mischief. To
prove this satisfactorily, he scratched with it,
the nose of dog, and the dog died in a few
! hours, from the poisonous effects it was still
| able to convey. In confirmation of these
| facts, have been told by native Americans,
that arrows dipped in rattlesnake venom ,would
carry death for ages after.-.4udubon's Note on
the Ranlesnakes.

a Coon WHITEwAsH.-As this is the season
of year, says the Scientific american, when peo-
pie begin to clean up and make things look
fresh for the approaching summer, we have
frequent requests respecting the best and
cheapest whitewashes, both for the outside and
inside of houses. We give the following:
Take half a busheI of fresh burned white
lime, and slack it either with hot or cold wa
ter, in tub or barrel. When thoroughly
Stacked, dissolve in the water required to thin
the lime, two quarts of common salt, stir it
thoroughly, add one quart of sweet milk, and
it is ready for use to put on with brush.
This wash is for the outside of buildings,
fences, &C., and is very durable. Some put
glue in whitewash, and others flour and rice
paste but these render it liable to scale off
in very dry weather.
The above wash may be made cream color
by the addition of ochre.
The above whitewash is all that can be de-
sired for the interior of houses, excepting the
salt it must be omitted, as it tends to imbibe
moisture. French white is superior to lime
washes for the ceilings of rooms, as i. is not
so liable to turn yellowisfi in color, but it rubs
off so easily that it cannot be used for side
walls.

A CURIOUS WEDDING.-Says the New York
correspondent of the Charleston Courier An
intesting wedding took place few days since
between a Mr.. Hemly B. Melville and Mrs.
Sarah K. Seymour. The parties have both
been married before, and each have family
of seven children-those of the gentleman
comprising six daughters and son, and those
of the lady six sons and daughter. The
sons acted on the occasion as groomsmen to
their future father, land the daughters as brides
maids to their future mother. The fourteen
children, dressed alike, according to their sex,
entered the church arm in arm, and ranged
themselves on either side of their parents,
who are both remarkably handsome, and look
ed superb. The bride is wealthy, and was
richly dressed in pearl colord MORE antique,
with costly laces, and diamond brooch and
bracelet.

NECESSITY OF ExERCIsE.-Most of the cur
rent ailments of mankind arise from want of
exercise. The body must undergo certain
amount of fatigue to preserve the muscles and
organs in proper vigor. ssWhen exercise is
neglected. says the Lacs Of Health, ssthe
blood gathers too much about the central
region; and oppression about the heart,
difficulty Of breathing, lowness of spirits,
anxiety and heaviness, numerous aches and
stitches, are evidences Of this stagnation.
People are afraid to take exercise, because
they fancy they want breath and feel weak.
But the very effort would free the heart from
this burden, by urging the blood forward to
the extremities; it would case the breathing
by liberating the lungs from the same SUPER
abundance 1t would make the frame feel ac-
tive and light, as the effect of equalized cir
culation and free action.'' A brisk walk in
the open air, daily, is worth whole shopful
of noStrumS,

CONSISTENCY THOU ART JEWEL The

CONSISTENCY Thou ART JEWEL The
New York Tribune, has the following -
ssIt is a remarkable and not insignificant
fact that the present leaders and drivers of
the so-called ssNational Democratic party
were nearly all educated in political school
adverse to that of partisan Democracy. Pres
ident Buchanan was an active, jealous, out
spoken Federalist throughout the earlier halt
of his life, and as such was repeatedly elected
to the Legislature and to Congress. Chief
Justice Taney was also trained in the school of
Washington, John Adams, Hamilton, &C., and
has never yet pretended to apostatize from
their faith, though, in the general recast of
parties which followed the Presidency of Mon
roe, he took the side of Gen. Jackson, then a
bolting candidate against the regular Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presidency. Robert
Toombs, who is the ablest and most effective
esNational Democrat in the Senate, was a
Harrison and Clay Whig down to less than
eight years ago. Alex. Stephens, who leads
the ssNational Democracy in the House, was
rabid Wing till since Gen. Taylor's election s.
John Cochrane, who is Stephens first mate,
was Van Buren, and Adams Free Soiler in
'48. Senator Douglas, who has always sup
posed himself Jackson Democrat, is now
generally cast out by the Buchanan organs as
a"Black Republican, In view of these facts,
we submit that it matters little whether man
is henceforth called Democrat or not.'a

THE EMPEROR OF FRANoE.-The Carbonari,
of which society the present Emperor of
France was formerly member, was establish
ed with every form and oath of secrecy to thwart
the designs of tyrants and to promote and
cherish revolution among the oppressed peo-
Piles of Europe. 1t is said that he who proves
false to his pledges to this league, sealed
with the most solemn oaths and consecrated
with fearful rites, by the very act of treason
dooms himself to destruction at the hands Of
some member or members of this Society.
1t matters but little, where the traitor may
wander. The Carbonari ramifes into all the
countries of Europe, and no persecution Of
tyranny, no misery of exile, can rupture the
tie that binds its members together. They
correspond in cipher, and, it is said, possess
ample pecuniary means to effectuate whatever
designs the nature of the league renders it
possible for them to mature and carry out in
the dark. We saw a statement few days
since in an English paper, to the effect that
Rudio, Orsini, Gomez and Pierri who endea-
vored recently to assassinate the Emperor,
were set apart for that work of vengeance and
blood, by lot. They received the charge COM
mitted to them without any questions The
lot fell upon them, and they were to do or die.
They have had their trial; they have been
condemned. Without a movement of fear or
remorse they learned their doom. Their in
tended victim, Napoleon, PAGES his gorgeous
halls of power or rides in his guarded coach of
state, carrying forever in his heart the certain
knowledge that the Carbonari have 'ere this,
other men sworn like the late band to take
his life. Oh who would be that Emperor of
France, treading each moment upon the hol-
low crust that wells but does not dampen the
volcanic fires beneath

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Among the extra
ordinary occurrences of the protracted ses-
sion last night was the personal difficulty be-
tween Messrs. Cameron and Green. Mr.. Green
charged Mr.. Cameron with falsehood. Mr.
Cameron replied that Mr.. Green was liar.
Mr.. Green retorted that Mr.. Cameron was
ID liar. Mr.. Cameron said that he was res
ponsible for his language, but would prefer
some other place than the Senate chamber for
such conversation. Both Senators were in
their seats this morning, and the affair has
been amicably settled. Mr.. Green expressed
his regret to the Senate for the occurrence,
and withdrew the offensive expressions. Mr..
Cameron did the same, and both the parties
expressed themselves satisfied.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY THE 1LbiNoiS NAA-
PR1soN.-Much excitement was caused In Al
ton, Illinois, on the Sth March, by the revolt
of desperate convict named Hall, from Chi
cago. He determined to escape. and watch
ing his opportunity, when only one OF the
guards, named Crabb, was in the hall surroun-
ding the cells, he knocked him down and
dragged him into a cell. Hall then fastened
the door of the cell, and drew knife, decla-
ring that he would murder Mr.. Crabb if any
attempt was made to rescue him. As there
was only one small hole in the door, he could
keep Mr.. Crabb between himself and the door,
and use him as shield to protect himself.
These matters continued until noon, when
Crabb made some effort to open the door, but
was Immediately cut severely in the hand by
the convict. During the day the convict
stated his terms of Submission to be a revolver
loaded by himself, a full suit of citizens dress,
500 in money, and to be driven out of town
in close carriage, accompanied by Crabb, to
such place as he should designate; all of
which were, of course, inadmiSsable. In the
meantime, however, Col. Buckmaster procured
a pardon from the Governor to be used in his
discretion but up to II O'Clock that night,
no information of it had been given to the con-
vict. All day the guards were on the watch
to shoot the scoundrel, but as he had positive
ly declared he would kill Crabb if he was not
instantly killed himself, great care had to be
taken, for fear he might put his threat in exc
cution. Crabb had no arms whatever, the
yard guards not being allowed to carry any,
and had nothing whatever to defend himself
from an attack of the desperate. The whole
day and evening was then spent in trying to
shoot Hall and at the same time not hit Mr..
Crabb, and finally, the next morning, by a
stratagem the door of the cell was got open
and the warden cried out to Crabb, the i'm
prisoned guard, to fight for his life. He ac-
cordingly sprang to the opening of the door,
and at length dragged himself through, but
not before he was stabbed by the convict nine
times, seven times in the back, and twice ON
the arms. When the poor victim was dragged
out, the convict barred the door again and re-
fused to yield. He was then given a few
minutes for reflection, and the rebel was, after
much lodging and effort, to get out the reach
of the fire, shot by the warden. The ball
struck his skull just below the left ear, and
glancing around, lodged under the skull. He
fell instantly and was dragged out of the cell,
and was thought to be dead, but soon recov-
cred and talked as sensible as any man could
under the circumstances. After the convict
was taken out of the cell, his knife, about
inches long, with double edge, was found in
the cell, and on his person was found also a.
mother larger knife, with blade inches long.
Crabb, the wounded guard, was Immediately
taken to the hospital. and his wounds were ex-
amined and dressed by Drs. Williams, the
prison surgeon, and Allen.

RAILWAYS AND BRIGANDs.-Is THIS THE FIF-
TENTH CENTURY "A railroad, not more than
nine miles in length, connects Rome with
Frascati. Onthe 2Sth ult., an unusually large
number of passengers, chiefly of the better
class had taken the train for the latter place ;
a circumstance, it appears, which the bandits,
of the neighborhood, were well aware of, for
in the interval they surprised one of the signal
men on the most deserted spot of the line and
then hoisted a red flag as signal of danger.
The engine driver, on approaching, saw the
signal, and stopped the train; Immediately
two men sprang upon him, and secured him,
while their confederates leisurely opened the
doors of the railway carriages, and riled the
pockets of all within, without the slightest
opposition. After this opperation the train
was allowed to continued its route,

thousand barrels of -four at Chicago. Wheat
is selling at 53 and So cents. 1t is the general
opinion that two million bushels of grain will
be ready there for transportation upon the
