A Mystery at Richmond.

The Richmond folks are at present con-
siderably 'skeered' by mysterious flight
Of stones,' as the Dispatch calls it, which
seems to be directed by some supernatural
power against the house of widow wom-
an on Shokoe Hill in that city. The Dis
patch of Thursday, speaking of the first
phenomenon and the arrest of certain part
les on suspicion Of being the authors of it.,
says THE rocks and bricks, however,
continued to crush the window glass du-
ring the day, and that, too notwithstand-
ing the presence of scores of citizens, who
gathered about the house and in it, watch
ing for the perpetrators of the offence, but
discovered none. One or two of the night
police hearing of the affair, seated them
selves in one of the rooms, and could see
the rocks and bricks fall around them, but
could not tell from whence they came. An
outsider declared that he saw stone arise
from the ground and fly through the wind
oW, and others made statements equally alb
surd but no discovery was made, notwith-
standing the pelting continued until 4
o'clock in the afternoon, when the medi-
um seemed to have tired of his unprofta-
BILE work.
A similar annoyance took place at Han
over, Pa. number of years ago,

and under sets when closed, forming near-
ly solid mass of bone; so accurately do
they tit each other, and of such tremendous
power that one we caught snapped off
white ash oar so suddenly that [ came to
the conclusion that one of my limbs caught
in the same situation, would be of little SER
vice to me in the future
We were often obliged to defend our
selves from this ravenous fish with our pixies
an instrument with two lances-the one
straight, and the other bent to about right
angel to the other, AS they came near me
[ would strike them beneath with this in
strument, the hook penetrating their bel
lies, and as they wheeled to swim away it
would rip them half their length, and their
inwards dropped out into the water as
they fell the ravenous fish would turn and
devour its own offal. The blood staining
the water would attract others of the same
species to the place; and these voracious
monsters would at once devour their wound
ed cOmrade.
The smaller inhabitants of this watery
domain did not venture near enough to what
seemed an unwelcome visitant, to receive
my instrument of defence, unless it was
when [ was rising to the surface when
like ours on terra frma, they followed their
retreating enemy even to the surface, often
attacking my armor and leaving such marks
Of their Vengence as to make it require a
repairing.
As [ sank down it was quite different
but fish or two at first would come near
me, and then instantly disappear, but they
would soon return with shoals of their kind,
after sailing around me once or twice, the
fish Of one Shoal would attack that of an
other, and in the battle many would be
slain on each side and drowned by their ad-
versaries'
When an armor is perfect, the diver
can remain down for thirty minutes to nine
hours, according to the depth of the water,
but four or five hours is the extent of pru-
dence Almost every kind of work may
be executed below the surface except chop
ping, which cannot be easily done, as the
water breaks the force of the blow, and it
is with great difficulty that the least cash
can be made. Saving, prying, moving
bodies, and lifting are easily done; lifting
can be done easier under water than out of
it.

Hot Tallow a Cure for Ingrowing Nails


We take the following remedy for q very
common and very painful affection, from the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal:
The patient on whom first tried this
plan was a young lady, who had been I'M
able to put on a shoe for several months,
and decidedly the worst case that have
ever seen. The disease had been of long
standing The edge of the nail was deep
ly undermined, the granulations formed
high ridge, partly covered with skin, and
and pus constantly oozed from the root of
the nail. The whole toe was swollen and
extremely tender and painful. My mode
of proceeding was this:
| put very small piece Of tallow in a
spoon and heated it over the lamp till it be-
came very hot, and poured it on the granu-
lations, The effect was almost magical
Pain and tenderness at once relieved, and
in few days the granulations were all gone,
the diseased parts dry and destitute of feel
ing, and the edge of the nail exposed so as
to admit of being pared away without any
inconvenience. The cure was complete
and the trouble never returned.
[ have tried this plan repeatedly since,
with the same satisfactory results. The
operation causes but little pain if the tai
lowis properly heated. A repetition might
in some cases be necessary, although |
have never met with case that did not
yield to one application. Admitting the
theory of DR.. Lorinser to be correct, the
modus operandi is very plainly seen. The
liquid tallow insinuates itself into every
interstice, under the nail, accomplishing
in one minute, without pain, all that
can be effected by the painful application
of nitrate of silver for several weeks.

The MINSTREL,
III WE KNEW.

n we knew the cares and crosses
Trowding round our neighbours way,
If we knew the little losses
SorcIy grievous, day 10y day.
Would We then so often chide him
For his lack of thrift and gain
Leaving on his heart shadow,
Leaving on our lives a stain?
IF We knew the clouds above Us.
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair?
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Living on the dewy grass,
While It's only birds of Eden,
Just in mercy flying pastl
If we knew the silent story,
Ouivering through the heart of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts of guilt again;
Life hath many tangled crossing;
JOY hath many a break of woe;
And the cheeks. tear-washed. are whitcst;
THIS the blessed angels know.
Let Us reach in our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love towards erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our diSrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say, dear Father, Judge us
~ we Judged our fellow men.

| should be perfectly willing, and believe
the Republican party would be, if it was pos
sible, to have that line restored. Itwould be
an end of this slavery agitation forever. l,
for one, have no desire to do so. | came here
with no such purpose. The slavery question
was thrust into our faces without any reason,
In the most offensive manner; and when we
repel the charges against us, we are told not
to agltate the slavery question. L should be
willing to have it banished forever from these
Halls, and to never have the subject alluded
to. But when we hear the subject constantly
iterated and reiterated by the South, how can
we help speaking? We have no design or de-
sire to interfere with slavery in the States
where it now exists We have said so in ev-
cry way in which political party can speak
in our platforms resolutions, and speeches
We have declared that we would protect the
rights of the South under the Constitution,
and we mean to do it but, sir, 1t Is our duty
and our intention to maintain inviOlate our
own rights under the Constitution as we'll as
theirs.
The views we hold in regard to the exten-
sion of slavery are those which were held by
all the people of the free States but few
years since. The Legislature of my own
State declared, in l847, thatno territory should
be received from Mexico, unless it was provl
ded, as a fundamental condition of the acqui-
sitiOn, that slavery should be forever excluded
from its limits. That was the doctrine of the
Democratic party before the Republican par
ty had an existence. In order that there may
be no misunderstanding, l ask the Clerk to
read the resolutions of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature,
The Clerk read as follows:
"Whereas the existing with Mexico may result
in, - IN
whereas measures are pending in Congress hav-
ing in view the appropriation of money and the confer
ring of authority upon the treaty-making power TO
this end Therefore
ReSotced by the Senate, dc, That Senators and
Representatives in Congress be requested TO vote
against any measure Whatever by which territory will
accrue to the Union, unless, as a part ofthe funda
