Captain Brown and his asspciatcs previously

At noon the prisoners we're brought out Of the
Jail, where u large military escort. composed Of
all the companies Of jefferson county, tue Brrke-

ADULTERATED DRUGs.-At recent convention Of
Apothccaries, in the city of New York. one of the
committees reported that frauds in medicines are
carried on in this country to extent Of which the
public can form conception, and that the amount
of mischief caused thereby is enormous and appa
ing. Ii is said that substances, sometimes nnocu-
Gus, at others almost deadly in thef nature are
mixed with various medicines, to improve their ap-
pearance, increase their quantity, or in some way
render them more saeabe or more profitable Sand
sometimes to the extent of seventy or eighty per
cent, even gypsum is added to the solids, while
water is mixed with the fluids till they become al
together inert or even change their very nature
The consumers Of drugs, being unacquainted with
the properties of the articles dealt out to them are
easily deceived The matters should be earnestly
taken in hand by City, State and National Medical
Societies. Among other remedies for these fraudu-
lent authorizations 1t has been recommended that
Drug Inspector be appointed to visit apothecaries
shops analyze samples of the drugs sold, and furn
nish the results of the analysis together with the
elements of the genuine article, and publish the
names and residences of adulterators. No objection
could be made to such proceeding by the many
scientific, educated and honorable apothecaries of
the country whilst il is due to the public that those
who are not so should be exposed and punished.

ARSENIC EATERS OF AUsrRIA.-The Vienna Acad-
envy of Sciences has recently made an interesting
report in relation to the arsenic eaters Of Steiermark
and other provinces south of Salzberg:
"The arsenic eaters begin with dose the size of
millet-grain, and mount gradually to dose as
large as pea in quantity from two, four and half
to five and half grains. Some take the arsenic
acid, others every day, and others still twice
in the week In Hartberg it is the custom to cease
with each new moon, and begin with relatively
small doses again. Immediately after taking arse
mic they forbear drinking eating meat and fatty
substances. They are, in the average, strong,
healthy people, mostly Of the working classes, such
as woodmen, grooms, &c. Seldom do females in
dulge in this practice. The men begin with the
eighteenth year. and some live to be seventy-six and
older They are generally courageous, quarrelsoue,
and of strong animal passions. 1t is their belief
that the Of this drug preserves them quite strong
and healthy, and protects them from sickness Of ali
kinds; though in fact many of them end their days
upon beds of disease ....

MINNIE TIE RIFLE MAKER.-A writer thus de-
scribes visit to the great rife-maker at his work
shop in Paris: Our attention was next directed TO
the CHEFS collection of cartridges, bullet-mouds and
bullets. They arranged in a series of drawers;
and looked grimy menacing assortment of instru-
ments lie told us that he had made balls in every
conceivable shape, and that he had manufactured
the moulds with his own hands. One of the speci-
mems was remarkably ingenious Minnie declared
that it was calculated to give the least possible
sistance the air. And thus the chef illustrated
his assertion: He took up iron tube and stand
ing at one end Of the shop, blew his bullet with
such force that it stuck firmly into the opposite
wall Again and again he blew it from fixed point,
and again and again it reached almost the hole it
made at the first shot. The bullet the prin-
ciple Of the Archimedian screw. Then We had an
anecdote in reference to this screw-bulet. Minnie
took this ingenious bullet and tube to the Tue-
ries, and submitted his projecte to the En-
peror. few days afterward the chef paid Sec
oEd visit to his sovereign and found that his majesty
had ridded the richly ornamented walls of his cabinet
with the new projectile. We passed from the sub
ject to another. Holding up one Of the compact
cartridges he had recently made, Minnie proceeded
to prove how soldiers might be sent into the field
with an inexhaustible supply Of ammunition At
every turn in his crowded little workshop, he had
some experiment to show, or some hafdeveloped
idea at which he was working. At breakfast, over
his slice of melon o. at the butts Of Vincennes, the
chef is the same man. His idea is before him. The
perfection of arms is the devouring passion of his
life. Always attempting something new-always
practicing his arms, he may, any day, produce
great result In France he is known as the great
authority on firearms and it was to him, there
FORE that the Emperor appealed for advice when the
new Imperial Guard was to be armed. The question
was not slowly filtered through committees and
councils NJ. Minnie summoned He stated
his views frankly; and gave reasons for them. The
Emperor listened and decided. NJ. Minnie armed
the Imperial Guard of France

A recent number of the Charleston Mercury con
tains letter from gentleman in Alabama, who re-
monstrates against South Cardinals waiting for Al
ALBANIA to join her in the movement He says there
is great difference in the condition of the two
States. In South Carolina the people united
this question: they are all for dsunion In Alaba-
bama quite different state of things exisist He
says:
alabama is divided. The varieties of soil, and
the want Of connection between North and South
Alabama, prevent us from being one homogeneous
people In the event of Lncolns election Governor
Moore will call a convention. There will be large
party in our midst who will, under the shallow pre-
text Of waiting for overt act, advocate the most
AFFECT submission. This party will be led on by
able and eloquent men. In its ranks will be found
TAYLOR. Langdon, Dawson, Forsyth, Baker, and, per-
haps, though 1 think probable, John A. Winston
1t will combine the strength of the Douglas and Bell
factions and will also carry off from the Breckin-
ridge party all of the foreign vote and large pro-
portion Of the merchants and trading people. What
will be the result Of the election for delegates to tue
Convention, no man can tell The advocates of re-
sstance at this time undoubtedly in the major
ty, but will they be able to control the State on
the first day Of next January?

FACTS FOR FARMERs.-If you invest money in
tools, and then leave them exposed to the weather.
it is the same as loaning money to a spendthrift
without security dead loss in both cases.
II you invest money in books, and never read
them, it is the same rs putting your money into
bank, but never drawing either principal or inter-
est.
If you invest money in fine stock and do not feed
and protect them it is the same as dressing your
wife in silk to do kitchen work.
IL you invest your money in choice fruits and do
not guard and give them chance to grow and prove
their value, it is The same as pdtting good hand
into the field with poor tools to work with
If you invest your money in a good fairy and do
not cultivate it well, it is the same marrying
good wife, and so abusing and enslaving her as to
crush her energies and break her heart
If you invest your money in a fine house, and do
not cultivate your mind and taste to adnrn it
with intelligence and refinement 1t is if you were
to wear broadcloth and silk hat to mill.
If you invest your money in fine clothes and do
not them with dignity and ease, it if plow
to sit at jewellers table to make and ad-
just hair springs.
If you invest your money in strong drink, it is
the same as turning hungry hogs into a growing
corn field-ruin will follow in both cases.
If you invest your money in every new wonder
that flaming circulars proclaim, it is the same as
buying lottery tickets at lottery office where there
are ten blanks to one prize.
Ifyou invest your money in the "last novel, I" it
is the same as employing tailors's dandy to dig
your potatoes. Valley Farmer
