SIMPLE REMEDY.-We heard of remedy a
few days since for feye and ague, which, for its
simplicity and not-hard-to-take qualities, we
regard as one Of the best extant.. The plan is
to secure bottle of salaratus and dissolve suffi-
cient oft in warm water, so as it will make the
water about the same strength as the mineral
springs found on the plains. A little sulphur
added to the mixture has very beneficial effect
By washing the whole body in this solution
about twice week, the pores of the skin are
kept open, and the insensible perspiration of the
system allowed to evaporate and pass off. The
bilious secretions are regulated and the liver
kept in healthy condition A walk of a mile
or two before breakfast every morning may be
INDUCED in with good effect. BY adopting this
method and pursuing it regularly through the
summer months, we will insure almost any per-
son against the attacks of the meanest sickness
known.-Tehan,a Gazette

Bs5- The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph tells the fol-
lowing Judge Pearson, of the Supreme Court
Oh Florida, was absent at a late session of the
Court at Tallahassee, and Chief Justice BaltzelI
issued a writ and placed it in the hands of the
Sheriff, directing him to proceed to the residence
OF Justice Pearson, arrest him and bring him
before the Chief Justice. The Sheriff obeyed
lnstructions-went to Judge Pearson, told him
his business whereupon Judge P. told him that
he could order him to prison for contempt but
would not do so under the circumstances, and
requested him to tell Chief Justice BaltzeH he
would come to Tallahassee at his convenience.

The sun an EDgravcr.

From the London News we learn that Herr
Pretsch has sought to make the sun a copper
plate engraver and has succeeded. He finds
new property of matter as strange as that pos
sesscd by biiunen. He covers n glass case with
a solution of gelatine, mixed with solution of
bichromate of potash and ether chemicals, and
leaves ii to dry in the dark. On this plate he
places his glass or paper picture which he wish
es to engraye, and exposes it to the light. A
faint Photographic picture appears on the pre-
pared gclatinous surface. This is dipped III
water The moisture raises the picture in relief.
1t is dried and found to be strong enough and
deep enough to afford an impression by pres
sure, to warm sheet Of guta percha. This
gutta percha impression has but to be covered
with black lead or bronze powder, and placed.in
voltaic circuit to be covered with copper by
the electrotype process-itself wonder of won
ders. The copper plate thus produced is in re-
lief, but being placed in the matrix in the gal
yanic bath, it produces as many engraved cop
per plates as the engraver may require.
Fox Talbot, the father of English photography,
goes a step beyond this He places Herr Pret-
sch's solution of gelaiine and bichromate of pot
ash directly on plate of polished STEEL Tho
picture is impressed on this film as before. He
discovers that there is no necessity to peril its
faintest lines by immersion in the water BATH
Over the faint photograph on the gelatinous
film, he Sits thin layer of powdered gum CO.
pal, or even rosin. The plate is til IN heated
over spirit lamp, to melt the gum as in the
common etching process. A solution of the
proxide of iron in muriatic acid is poured over
the plate, which etches out its surface wherever
the light has acted on the galatine And thus
light leaves its delicate footprints on impcrish-
able steel-Nelcs letter.

Oh, ever thus, from childhood's hour,
We've seen our fondest hopes decay
We never had a dog, nor COW, nor
Hen that laid an egg day,
But what twas marked and tuck away.
We never raised sucking pig,
To glad us with its sunny eye,
But when it growed up fat and big,
And fit to roast, or bile, Or fry,
We couldn't find it in the sty.

TH I S CELEBRATED GIN-ptetending to
l. nothing but what it is, viz a pure and un-
adulterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits of what it is not, some of its rival imi-
tators do--after five years of public approval
and very extensive sales in California, has been
pronounced by the public to be superior, not on

cry twenty-four hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antaeonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-

positively and absolutely necessary to use

"London Club House Gino

and to act as we know it will act, as an anti

article in the country. The name of Aromatic

the

and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
a sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
OF the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California article which they
call "Club House Gin" My Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand

selected in Europe, with the essence of an aro-
matte Italian berry, of acknowledged and ex-
traordinasy medicinal properties. 1t has long
since acquired higher reputation, both in Eu-
rope and America, than any other diuretic bev-
erage.
Analysed, it is perfectly pure Liquor, in its
effects a mild and wholesome tonic 1t is ex-
tensively used and approved by the medical fac
ulty, the temperance people, heads of families
&c.
In Gravel, Gout and rheumatism, in ebstruc-
tions of the Bladder and Kidneys, and in Gen.
era Debility, its effects are prompt, decided and
invariably reliable; and it is not only remedy
for these maladies, but in all cases where they
are produced by drinking bad water, which is
almost universally the cause of them, it acts as
a sure PrerenftUe.
For Fever and Ague it is one of the most Of

The Imperial Stables of France.

The Aver Observer, in giving an account of
the French Imperial Master of the Horse, thus
describes the Imperial stables and their concom-
itants:
At the royal stables may be seen no fewer
than $50 horses of the finest breeds, including
the Emperors fayorte charger Philip, splen-
did dark brown animal, of the most perfect SYM
metry to which the Parisians attribute qualities
more than equine. They tell that, before the
Emperor was called to the throne he was one
day riding his horse at a review, and on passing
the royal flag, which is wont in France to be
lowered by way of saluting members of the re-
gent family, the creature stopped, as if entitled
to receive the usual demonstrations of respect.
as if conscious that it bore on its back the fu-
ture sovereign Of France. There are 275 car
riages, the latter of which are very gorgeous !:
one Of them which our Queen rode in on the
last occasion, should it happen to be used on
wet day, would cost nearly el 900 to re-gild it.
There arO three Of these at the royal stables
at the Tuilleries, and three at Versailles There
may also be seen at the Paris stables the sad
dies presented by the Pasha of Egypt to the EN-
peror aGd Empress, valued at eI0 900 EACH
The Empress has used hers only upon one occa-
sion. There are 2G0 men employed in the sta
bles all The year round, whose wages alone cost
100000, apart altogether from the current
horse-hesh expenses. The stalls of the horses
are all arranged in compartments, the stall of
the highest horse in each occupying the center
OF the compartment, the others ranging in the
order Of their hight on either side, giving the
whole the appearance ola series of mathemati-
cal diagrams, pleasant to look at for their regu-
larlty The royal carriages are arranged in
similar way. The cap and sword of the late
Napoleon, and portion of his uniform, are care
fully preserved and shown at the stables.n

decrease the victims of consumption nine -tenths,
and that this is the whole secret of the use of
cod-liver OIL and quotes the following sum-
mary observations On this sui ject, made by DR..
Hooker:
vi all persons between the age of fifteen and
twenty-five years, more than one-ffth eat no
lat meat. Ofpersons at the age of forty-five.
all excepting one in fifty, habitualy use fat meat.
VI persons who, between the ages of fifteen
and twenty-five avoid fat meat, few acquire
an appetite for it, and live to good old age,
while the greater portion die of phthisc, be-
fore thirty-fve. OF persons dying with phthisic
between the ages of twelve and forty-five,
nine e-tenths, at least have never used fat meat.
Most individuals who avoid fat meat, use little
butter or oily gravies though they should COM
pensate for this want in part at least, by free
use of those articles, and also milk, eggs, and
various sacchrine substances. But they con-
stltute an imperfect substitute for fat meat.

thank Thee because a rattlesnake has bit him
We pray Thee, send rattlesnake to bite John :;
send one to bite Bill send one to bite Sam !;
