The Bridge Of Buffalora.

This bridge at which the Austrians
fred the first guns in the war now wag.
ing in Italy, spans the Ticino river, the
northern boundry line of Sardinia. 1t is
thus described by a traveller
This bridge is 1000 feet long, and is
the finest bridge | ever saw away from
city or town. 1t has eleven arches oil
uniform size, and is built of immense
blocks Of hewn granite, at a cost of $780,
600. Such a bridge could not be built for
a million of dollars in the Uuited States.
The parapets are of hewn granite, in i'm
mense blocks four feet high, two feet
wide and six feet long sidewalks on
each side of The solid blocks of granite,
aud double train ways of the same ma
terial for carriages. Indeed the bridge
is perfect, and without SO sternly simple
that not a dollar appears to have been
expended for mere ornament. Unless
blown up by gunpoyder or thrown up by
an earthquake, it would last until the end
of time.
The ferry oyer the Ticino, at the point
called Abbiatte Grasso, where the cen
trail division Of the invaders crossed, ia a
spot memorable for the death, at the riv-
er bank there, in 1884, of that pink OF
Gallo chivalry, Bayard.

Rumors C~ontradicted.

to Kentucky on a visit, accompanied by
a brother of the woman five more went

lady in Montreal having been spirited

a daughter Of Mr.. Leander Starr, a Can

The REvENGEs OF NAPOLEON III.-An
editorial signed &C." aud we suppose
from Caleb Cushing, in The Boston
Traveller, concludes:
Napoleon, by the actual aid Of Great
Britain, has balanced the Russian success
of Moscow by the reduction of Sebasta
pol. He has, with the passive counte.
nance OF Great Britain, balanced the
Austrian occupation Of Paris by the vic.
tory of Solferino. The debt to Prussia
remains to be paid off; but above all that
to Great Britain. Trafalgar and Water
loo are memories of rage and shame in
the hearts of all Frenchmen, and espec-
tally OF all Bonapartes. And, if in this
respect, the turn of Great Britain is to
come, she will only have herself to thank
for the present powerful and proud posi-.
ton of Louis Napoleon, is her work quite
as much as that Of his own genius. Ger
tain we may be, that Of this great drama
OF the Second Empire, the Fourth and
Fifth, and greatest Of all its acts, are yet

REMEDY FOR PUTRID SORE THROAT
Il. A. Cagwin gives, in the P~lacerville
Observer. the following recipe for the
cure of the putrid sore throat among chill
dren:
Deadly diseases require timely RENE
dies. This fatal disease may speedily be
checked, by giving the following prescrip-
tion-a tea-spoonful every hour until it
operates as a cathartic. Keep it always
on hand to be given upon the first symp-
toms: One teacupful of strained honey;
one tablespoonful Of ~gunpowder; and a
piece of freshly burnt alum, of the size of
the end of your thumb; mixed we'll to
gether. This forms a sure remedy called
the black ointment. Simple remedies
taken in time, often effect the most mar,
velous cures. Try it and a Y your little
ones you love SO dearly, and with whom
1t IS SO heart rendlng to part. This pre-
scription is alike eficacious to all Who
are thus afflicted.

Rattlesnake Bites,

We have long been aware that brandt
or rum taken internally, and tobacco
bound upon the wound, would cure tho
bite of a rattlesnake, and believed tbat
they would cure even that of a mad dog.
The fact is not generally known, and VIC
copy this pleasant statement Of it from
the Boston Ledger:
81 1t is said that French brandy is a
sure cure for the bite Of a rattlesnake F"
Yes, SO it is; and so is whiskey, or new
rum, or "anything that will make the
drunk come" Tobacco, saleratus water.
chloroform, and several different weeds
and plants are all sure cures" in fact,
wherever you find rattlesnakes, there you
will find an antidote for their poison, and
so well posted are the western people on
these matters, that they consider the bite
Of this " riptyle," as INC great shakes,
anyhow We once knew a valuable
horse bitten by a rattlesnake; the owner
Immediately applied a well m~asticated
quid of tobacco to the wound, bound it
on wi his handkerchief, and drove on;
during the day he occasionally put on a
fresh " chaw." The result was that the
horse experienced no injury whatever
We have seen a cut that was cured mere.
ly by washing the wound with saleratus
water.
In company with a physician we once
visited a man who had been bitten by a
" Massaranga;" we found him lying on
the floor, apparently in great agony; at
one moment he would roll over and CRY
out, 20 Lord, have mercy on my soul p
at the next he was on his feet shouting
anthemas at the entire snake tribe. from
the serpent that tempted our FIRST mother
down to those more harmless ones of the
present day; but he was more scared
than hurt, and his insane rawlings were
but the natural consequences attending
the drinking Of a plat or so Of raw wills,
key immediately after the biting. We
examined the wound, which was upon the
tirst joint of the thumb, and looked no
more than an ordinary mosquito bite

10 those persons who contemplate Wis

drink, and go on your way rejoicing.

The Charms of Life.

Life hata its charms of every kind,
Held up to mortal view;
Bright prospects that engross the mind
Which all with haste pursue.
Some seek amid Wealth's golden store
The. phantom bliss to find,
Whilst others sigh for knowledge, more
To elevate the n ind.
Beauty hath power to fascinate
And chain the sternest gaze,
And hearts once cold and obdurate
Still warm beneath its blaze.
And Fame holds out the hazel wreath
Ambition seeks TO gain, 3
Which decks The brow, bnt laauss beDeeth
A lurking, secret pain.
Give me the gentler, sweeter charms
That cluster round a Home,
Where faithful hearts and loving ones
Win always bid us come.
0 yes howe'er obscure and small,
Homes gentle charms for me.
Where soft the evening shadows fall,
As sunset on the lea.
Here bloom the cherished flowers we lore.
TIT hearts best hopes are here,
And joyous smiles will ever prove
That fond ones linger near.
Then tell me not of Wealth or Fame,
Or Beauty's witehing power;
They only live in empty name,
And vanish in an hour.

The Old Crow,

On the limb of an oak sat a jolly old crow,
And chatted away with glee-with glee;
And he saw the old farmer go out to SOW,
And he cried" It's all for motor me!
"Look, look, how he ~scatters his seed around,
lie is wonderful kind to the poor-the poor;
If he emptied it down in a pile on the ground,
could find it much better, 1 m sure-I'm sure
eve learned all the tricks of this wonderful mai
Who has such a regard for the crow-the crew.
That he lays out his grounds in a regular plan,
And covers his corn in a row-a row.
F" lie must have a very great fancy for mo,
He tries to entrap me enough-enough;
But measure the distance as we'll as he,
And when he comes near me I'm of-I'm off,"

take but a single swallow at a time, take
the glass from the lips for half a minute,
and then another swallow, and so on. 1t

disagreeable after a few mouthfuls.
On the other hand, ice itself may be
taken as freely as possible, not only with,
