MIRACULOUS MEANNEss OF MrsERLY Pa

CURED in Paris a short time since, and is
worthy of the the man who, after fifty years
intimacy with NJ. Lionville, the eminent law
yer, would not pay three francs to 70 to his
funeral, contending that the family ought TO
supply carriages enough for all friends who
wished to attend.
The epresentinstanceis is of this rich nan whose
beloved son died. The father had modest
tomb built for him, and plain slab at the
door, with the usual inscription on it. After
a few years the lease ground in which the
tomb was raised, expired, az the young man
himself had-the father unwilling to renew
the lease costing trife) was obliged to have
the tomb demolished, and set about utilizing
the materials thereof The stone was service
able for building purposes, but the slad, he
was, at first, at loss how to use it. How
ever, he at length discovered that one of the
slabs Of the sidewalk was much broken, and
the pieces were removed, the tombstone put
in their place, and crowd daily gathered in

REFLECTIONS ON THE FoURTH.---A patriotic
spirit is the best reliance for the nation and
speaking of that reminds us that none of our
institutions are more active fountains of
patriotism than our Cincinnati hotels. The
wat that they honor Independence Day is
calculated to make the hearts of their guests
swell with generous and patriotic emotions
or at least their stomachs, which is all the
same, as by the areient and sacred writers it
will be seen that the digestive organs were
regarded as the seat of the sentiments.
Our neighbor of the Gazette thinks that
the preservation of the country depends on
marriages; but he must admit that generous
living will bring about marriages. One OF
the modern poets--whose name we have for
gotten, as he is not held to be strictly ortho-
dox-declared that the affections are much
influenced by Bacchus and Ceres, and OF
course the affections are the only true foun-
dation for marriage. Therefore he will agree
with us-we know he will-that so long as
the nations birth day is honored as it was at
the Burnet House, the country will be safe.
Other hotels did likewise, but mans capacity
is limited.

a SLANDERER CowHIDED by VIRAdo.--
\ short time ago man named Noah applied
to Isaac Jacobs for the sum of $50, stating,
in order to obtain the money, that if it was
not given to him he would circulate some re.
ports in regard to the character of certain
female relation of the person to whom he
made the application, which would not be
wholly beneficial. Jacobs refused to comply
with the request, whereupon Noah proceeded
to put his. threat In execution.
II was not long before the stories reached
the ear of the woman whose fair fame he had
sulled and her sister determined to be re-
venged. She accordingly purchased cow
hide, and meeting Noah, evening before last
on Central-avenuc near Ninth-street, she
proceeded at once to the accomplishment o,
her purpose. Without a word ofexplanation
or excuse, she applied the whip TO his
shoulders and face with heavy hand, anG
gave such evidence of her ability in this way
ls TO leave little doubt in the minds of the
bystanders, if any had ever existed, in regard
to the truth of Congreve's famous couplet:
Heaven hath no rage like lovo to hatred turned,
Nor Holl fury like woman scornod."
When her rage had spent ITSELF aud hel

n which she had used her weapon, some OF
her male friends took the matter into theii
own hands, and administered another chas.
tlsenent upon the unfortunate Noah, which
can not be clearly stated in any very elegant
phrase, and which had the effect of confining
the alleged slanderer to his bed. All this
was far more agreeable to the bystanders and
the assailants than to Noah and he caused
the arrest of the party of males. Yesterday
morning Isaac Jacobs Moses Samuels and
Samuel Levi were before the Police Court
and held to bail to await an examination, TO
take place next Wednesday morning The

Excellence Of the Paris Omnibus system,
The Paris correspondent Of the New Or
leans Delta writes in his last letter:
The Paris omnibus system is an excellent
one, which might be initiated with profit In
all the large cities Of the United States, where
the peoples carriage" is in favor. The om-
nibuses Of Paris are owned by single COM
pany, and so perfect is it's organization, so
complete the economy Of its management
that at very low fares for very long distances
It has grown rich in q few years, and its
stock has become one of the most valuable
on Change. The Parisian omnibises are
plain looking vehicles, being Constructed
rather with view 70 service tnan show.
Inside, the two rows of seats are partitioned
of into fourteen places and when these are
all occupied painted sign is displayed over
the door, illuminated In The evening, convey
Ing the intimation that the vehicle 10 full
and no more passengers can be taken. Then,
there is no more stopping, 'just to accommo-
date Lady, no sitting on peoples knees; no
standing up Ia the passage, to the discomfort
and annoyance Of everybody concerned.
On the top of the omnibus, q long double
bench runs from end 10 end, capable of seat
ing ten persons, who mount by means Of
iron steps and railings in the rear. To pre-
vent accidents strong railing about two
feet high is constructed all around the roof
and still further improvement is in contem-
plation, in the shape Of an awning, to pro-
tect outside passengers from the sun and
rain. Each omnibus is provided with a
coachman, whose sole business It is TO drive
and conductor, to take the fares. The con-
ductor stands on a broad step in the rear,
over which is projection of the ROOT, shield
ing him from the weather The comfort of
the emptoye is further secured by q movable
seat, shutting into the door, and occupying
no space which might be more advantage

The most important feature of the system is
naturally, the money control. The probity
Of the conductor is doubly guaranteed. Bel
dials, upon which is rung the entry of each
passenger, are placed at the door, and, at short
intervals on all the different routes are estab-

SUGAR AS MEDICAL REMEDY.-Drs. Beh-
rend and Sieber recommend the medical use
of sugar as curative means Of great value
in diarrhaa--one in child aged three years.
and another in child aged four years--in
which half an ounce of powdered white sugar
given every hour, soon gave favorable turn
to symptoms Of extreme gravity, which had
long resisted all the ordinary means of cure.
Other evidence of similar character is
promised, and it is believed that there are
many conditions of diarrhea, particularly
those in which there is putreiactive ten

in all probability, prove most valuable
