The Democratic leaders in the Senate declare openly,
if the House rejects the amendment aboshing the frank
ing privilege, without passing bill for the object,
which is already prepared, they will defeat the Pos,Ol

the House will resent such dictation this collision OF
views may lead to serious embarrassment.-Tribme.

TREATMENT OF CRoUP.-The Dublin Hos
pital Gazette state that DR.. Jodin, i'll com
munication to the Academy of Sciences, on
the nature of Group and on the treatment OF
the same, says that his researches have led i'm
10 the following conclusions First, that
Group and pseudo membranous angina are
merely parasitical diseases due 10 the forma-
tion of fungi; second, that the treatment OF
these affections requires neither general medi-
cation nor incehdlary caGteriZations, and that
they may be cured by simple parasiticidal ap-
pllcations. After enumerating the various
therapeu tical means resorted 10 in this and
analogous diseases, Mr.. Jodin declares that he
much prefers 10 these uncertain, alarming or
dangerous remedies, the sesqniohiorIde ofIrOn,
which completely impregnates the fungus, ex-
erclses its action on the surface only and may
be absorbed without danger. This mediciue
destroys the parasitic growth aud also modi-
fies fayorably the hemorrhagic condition con-
stantly observable in the affected parts and
their neigh borhood il further ind uces expec--
toration, aud thus promotes the rejection OF
the false membranes.

THE GIRL L LEFT BEHIND ME"-The de-
parture of the French troops from Milan was
cause OF great grief to the feminine population
of that place. The railway station was a real
scene OF observation-disclosures was nothing but
tears and embraces without end. The bell for
departure had rung, but the departure could
not take place without as many broken arms
and legs as there were broken hearts Atlast
a sergeant, who had an incousolabe damsel
hanging about him, thought of Il stratagem to
bring matters TO a close. He shouted aloud
that there must be extra cars put ON to 20 to
Magenta. All the desolate beauties crowded
into the cars, but the perfidious sergeant had
gwen the hint TO the conductor of the train
and the supplement tary cars were not attached
The signal was given, the train moved eff at

REVIVAL or INTERNAL MACHINEs-"I In :
fernal ma. hines' do not seem To have vet gone
out of fashion. One Col Patterson, of Eng
lard, veteran soldier received beautiful
box, carefully directed, and as harmless in ex-
terror AS a bCx of sardines. But the Colonel
was an old soldier and accu toned to the smell
of powder. About this little package he
thought he detected slightly sulphurous
smell. Like wary old sampaisner, he took
IL with pistol. His ball shattered the lid,
and an xplosion followed which shattered the
stone asainst which the box had been placed.
Examination disclosed that the box had been
filled with powder, aud that a dozen luclfer
matches had been arranged inside in such
fashion that Il movement OF the lid would have
wrought destruction upon any opener less
cautious than Colonel Patterson.
