STICK TO THE BoAT."-under the above caption an
article is going the round of the papers, advising per-
who in boat that capszes to stick to the
boat they sustain themselves in deep water for
hours by placing their hands upon her. This is SO, pro-
vided the ballast of the boat composed of kegs filled
with waterifi it be iron rock the they to
the boat the more hopeless is their case.
Some forty years ago, the elder residents of Will
mngton will remember several esteemed and useful cti-
zens were drowned one morning, and one negro man,
much regarded for his good qualities" Fred.-
The sole cause OF the loss of these citizens owing
the fact that the ballast composed of rock and she
went down with the victims clngingito the mast At
that time we urged the adoption Of water ballast, in
kegs, and was pleased to find it adopted-nor did we
suppose that it had ever been abandoned till we heard
few weeks ago. of the death by drowning of some
sens of that town-being in boat ballased with rock
We would advise every man, woman and child never
to put bis or her foot upon boat that is not properly
baasted There is more danger in sailing about river
ever subject to sudden flaws well as Encouragement
than there in making voyage to the East Indies
Not only on the Cape Fear, but on all other harbors
and rivers is the danger imminent in this case as all
nautical men will say, and of which history affords a
lamentable confirmation. Goldsboro' Tribune

A TRIBUTE TO president PoIK.-ln his late speech
at Chapel Hill North Carolina, President Buchanan
who Secretary of State under President Polk paid
the following tribute to that amented statesman He
said:
You refer to mournful events You speak of Pre-
sident Polk. He proud in speaking OF his intense
love for his alma mater. He was good man. great
man, an honest man. No performed the duties
of his high Office more conscientiousy than James K
Polk Justice has not yet been done to his memory
But the impartial historian, when he comes to collect
the events OF that period, will place James K. Polk
the list of the most noble and distinguished men of the
country. He was laborious man and sacrificed him
self with immense labors.
The President did than justice to this lamen-
ted statesman. 1t the intention of Mr.. Polk, had
he lived, to have written history of his own Admins
traton and record relative to all the important facts
connected with it, is in possession of Mrs Polk
At the proper time they will no doubt be compiled by
some capable person, and placed before the public.
We know that Mr.. Polk was exceedingly anxious
that this should be DONE in order that the public might
more fully understand some important facts connected
with his Administration which at present are rather
shrouded in mystery.

rod of Him who says, "I viii visit the iniqaities

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerouS matter, which, In
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on the
surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corrup-
ton, which gendcrS in the blood, depresses the
energies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions
not only suffer from scrofulous complaints but
they have far less power to withstand the attacks
of Other diseases consequently, vast numbers
perish bv disorders which, although not scroiu-
lous in their nature are still rendered fatal by
this faint in the system. Most of the consump-

Compound Extract Of SaFsaparilla,

the most cffectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing and fatal malady. 1t Is combined
from the most active remedals that have been
discovered for the expurgation of this foul disor-
der fom the blood, and the rescue of the sys-
TEN from its destructive consequences Hence
it should be employed for the cure Of not only
scrofula, but also those other affections which
arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE and SKIN Dis

belief in "m0wity Of the blood" is founded in

Patients in advanced stages Of the dis
ease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so
numerous are the eases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons,
publicly known, who have been restored from
alarming and even desperate diseases Of the
lungs by lis use. When once tried, its superb
ority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent TO escape observation, and where its
virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antiGOte 10 employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections Of the pulmonary organs
that are incident 10 our climate. While many
inferior remedies thrust upon the community
have failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the
afflicted they can never forget, and produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable to be
forgotten.
