Description of the River Jordan.

correspondent of the Utica Herald thus
describes the river Jordan:
A line of green, low forest trees betrayed
the course OF the sacred river through the
plain. So deep is its channel, and so thick is
the forest that skirt its banks, that | rode
within twenty yards of it before | caught the
first CLEAN of its waters. ] was agreeably
disappointed. | had heard that Jordan de-
scribed rs an insipid, muddy stream.
Whether it was the contrast with the desola-
ton around or my fancy that made its green
banks so beautiful, know not, but it did
seem at that moment of its revelation to my
longing eyes the perfection of calm and lone
illness 1t is hardly as wide as the Mohawk at
Utica, but far more rapid and impassioned IN
its flow. Indeed of all the rivers have ever
3een the Jordan has the fiercest current. Its
water is by no means clear, but it as little
deserves the name of muddy. At the place
where l first saw it tradition assigns the
baptism of our Savior, and also the miracu-
lous crossing of the children Of Israel on their
entrance into the promised land. Like a
true pilgrim bathed in its waters, and
picked few pebbles from its banks as tokens
Of remembrance of the most familiar river in
the world. Three miles below the spot
where now stand, the noble river itself the
very emblem of life, suddenly throws itself
on the putrid bosom fthe Dead Sea.

Importnpt ToxicoIog:caI Fact.

NJ. Blandlet, of France, has called attention
to a very curious Genealogical fact namely
that greasy matters have the power of di-
minishing considerably the solubility of ar
senious acid, either in pure water or in acid
aud alkaline liquids. Thus, in contact with
grease, the poisonous properties of arsenious
acid are very much decreased, and, at the
same time il becomes more difficult to render
its presence evident by chemical reactions.
A very slight quantity of greasy matter, ac-
cording TO NJ. Blandlet's experiments, reduces
the solubility of arsenious acid TO one-fif-
teenth or one-twentieth of what it is when
it is in pure state.
This explains why arsenic, taken in the
form of powder, remains sometimes for a
considerable interval in the body without
producing injury; it explains also how it is
that, in cases Of poisoning by arsenic, this
substance has not readily been detected in
such portions Of the body or the ailments
which contain much grease. 1t seems to
teach, also, that cream, for instance, is an ex-
cellent antidote for asenious acid Margagni
states, i'll his writings, that, in his time, the
Italian boatmen used to astonish the bystand.
ers by swallowing, without hurt, large
pinches of arsenious acid, having taken thu
precaution beforehand of drinking a'quantitJ
of milk, or eating some greasy matter. Al
soon as the public had retired, the boatmer
got rid Of the poison by vomiting.

A POPULAR ERROR CoRREoTED-THE HAw
OF THE HoRsE's EYE.-In reading Sir George
Stephens rAdUentures of Gentleman ~
Searck ofa Horse, have lately noticed his
account of an error of wide prevalence in
England, and since DR.. Noah Webster has
fallen into it tArt. Haw, copied from Reese's
Ehcye,,) I suppose tito be ofstill greater prev
alence here. .. L
The following is Sir G. Stephens graphic
every owner of horse can, by u little obser-
walton, see for himself, it being often visible
in the corner Of the uninfamed eye;
"There is another variation between the
horses and the human eye, OF q very import
ant and peculiar character. At the inner
angle of the eye is dark membrane that
apparently at the pleasure of the animal, is
shot rapidly over the eye, like vail it is
instantly withdrawn, and in its rapid transit,
cleans the eyeball of dust Or foreign par
tices that may have accidentally lodged
upon it. This membrane is called the haw.
1t is not muscular, but its action is curiously
| explained: 1t is projected from its place by
the compression, or rather depression of the
| eye-ball into the socket, occasioned by the
| retractor muscle When the eye is depressed
| by the play of this muscle, the elasticity O
the fatty substance behind the eye-bal
causes the haw to extend itself from the
| corner OF tne eye, over tne VlSiule surldce
| when the retractor muscle ceases to act, the
eye-ball resumes its usual position, the fat re
| turns to its place behind, and the haw returns
to the socket from which it has been monien
tarily pushed forward.
81 am the more particular in thus de
scribing the utility and action of the haw; be
cause such is the gross Ignorance of thu
majority ofcouutry farriers, that when thi'
membrane has been affected by a temporary
Inflammation ofthe eye, and thus becomes
larger and more prominent than usual, it ha
been regarded as diseased excrescence, ant
actually extirpated, to the permanent injury
of the horse. Instead of endeavoring tC
subdue the inflammation by the ordinary
remedies, it has appeared the simplest way t
remove the diseased part and thus the eye
though for II time apparently restored tt
health, has in the end been lost by the casual
introduction of ofimpurities such as dust, flies
&C., which there no longer remains any
natural means Of removing. 1t will scarcely
be credited by general readers, that SO prev
aent is this error that it has found II place
in that learned work, the Encyclopedia @
| Reese where, under the article haw, this
membrane is described as diseased tumol
| in the eye, and instructions are given for re-
moving it."-N Y. Commercial AduerttseT.

A VRAao CowHIDEs CoURTEsAN.--Thurs-
day night the wife Of well known military
man, says the Albany (N ". Rnicksrbocker
proceeded to the residence of Caroline Martin
dale and administered to her sound thrashing
with cowhide. The wife aforesaid has had her
feelings deeply wounded, and her name dis
graced by this notorious hag who seduced
the husband of the wife from his home and
children. The husband once held an honor
able position in society; but at the present
moment his name and fame are below par.
The injured wife was full of strength, de-
termination and vengeance. She laid on the
lash with win, and the notorious courtesan
who received its stings, whined and screached
vociferously. The excited wife was only pre-
vented from satisfying her wounded feelings
by the interference of the police, who were
attracted by the cries Of Mrs. Martindale.
We have not the least doubt that Mrs. Mar
tindale is ten times worse than the courtesan
herself and that she richly deserved four cas-
legations where the unfortunate woman merits
one. a4fa..a fl4t.ii%

DIR. CUNNING AT IT AGAIN.-The Paris CORES.
pondert of the London Daily News, writing ON the
Goth ult., says:
afternoon with fashionable congregation of Eng
sh residents, the fair sex greatly predomnating,
to hear DIR. Cummings sermon on prophecy, as
applicable to Great Britain. He made out with
force of demonstration which, backed bv many
learned quotations, and the free use of Hebrew
roofs, detes any impromptu contradiction. that
within the next seven years the English Govern
ment will collect together all the hook-nosed, dark
complexioned, black.eyed denzens of Houndstiteh
St. Mary Axe, Cnrsitor street, ETC., give them a
free passage to Jerusalem, and put them in posses
sion of the Holy Land. 70 arrive at this result the
reverend Doctor is obliged, though he regrets il,
to do considerable violence to the authorized yer
sion Of the Scriptures. He shows that where
Ezekiel is made to announce calamity by the use
of the word "woe, he in reality meant g Ho !s
a rallying cry, that "ships made of bulrushesn
mean steam vessels, that Tarshish is England,
that seven tmes'' means $50 multiplied by 4, and
that one of the prophets lions means the British
lion on the Queens coat of arms.
These interpretations being granted, ii is plain
to the meanest capacity that England is the nation
predestined to 'tpresent them on Mount Zion as
an Offering to the Lord Of Hosts. These things are
to take place sooner than DIR. Cumming would
dare y to say in public, but he gives it 10 be nn-
dersood, that 1867, when according TO his calcula.
ton the world will just be 5000 years old is the
very outside of the time. We are, at this very
hour, to use a poetical expression of his on the
Saturday night of the worlds long dreamy
week. The two great apostacies, Popery and
Mahommedanism, are totteTing to tlteir fall the
rotten branches OF the vine are about to be cut
away, and the end of the dspensation is at hand.
Dir. Cummings manner, perfectly free from rant
and passion is that of demonstfator at clinical
lecture; he appears, as have no doubt, thorough
y to believe the doctrines he teaches and was lis
tened to throughout with the most respectfuatten-
ton.
