Musical Pctticoat,

A Partisan genius has just invented a
musical petticoat. BY the aid of scienti
fc mechanism, the crinolne is rid o
all springs, hoops, bolts, pivots, etc., and
is inflated like a life preserver, the air
furnishing any amount OF distention re-
quired, TO given circumference, or say
quarter of a mile. The sublime feature
OF the invention is this: she elegant wear.
er need only touch spring, arranged to
communicate with the pocket of her dress
and the air in the skirt sets in motion a
musical attachme ent, not unlike bird or
gan, playing variety of tunes, frora the
gemsof the operas to nursery lullaby.
The inventor confidently declares that
ballroom orchestras may be entirely dis.
pensed with in future: the ladies wearing
his "musical petlicoats" can provide
the mselves with sltzes, quadrilies and
polkas, to their hearts content.

Diptheria and its Cure.

but its pathognomonic symptoms are SO
diversified and dissimilar, that in many
instances the throat Of the patient closes,
and be dies before his disease has been
discovered. The Jiagnostic by which it
is known from other complaints of the
throat is the formation of a membrane

Hung for the Nineteenth Time.
A Western Missouri contemporary tells
the following:
On Tuesday last, news came to this
city that man was seen hanging between
Independence and MaxwclI's Landing
The Coroner was promptly notified OF the
fact, and he, in the discharge Of his du
ty, as promptly repaired 10 the scene; bur,
to his surprise. he found the man alive,
kicking and walking about as other men
Go, with no rope around his neck where
the rope ought to be. He (the Coro-
ner) made some inquiries about his VIC
tim. and the old woman-that is Mrs.
Elliot, the wife of the hung man-re>
piled that he was down. but not dead ;and
further remarked. that it was about the
nineteenth time he had attempted to hang
himself, and hadn't yet succeeded, but
she'd be tetotally darned if he mightn I
b hang the next time until he was good
!eau-lhat she never would cut the cord
again to let him breathe easy. We un-
dcrstand that Elliot is in the habit of
hang ing himself every time he has fam
lily jar, and. although he has made SO
many attempts, has never yet got with
out sight OF the house, where his wife
would not fail to let him down before his
wind shortened.
