DEATH OF COLONEL BAKER,

Among the saddest losses which have been in
hIcted on the country since the opening of tn
war, 10 that Of the late lamented Edward D. Ba
ker. Colonel of the lst Regiment of Californi,
Volunteers, and Senator Of the United States
Col Baker participated in the battle which tool
place near Edwards Ferry, in Virginia, on tn.
afternoon of Monday last and fell at the hest
OF his troops while waving his sword and cheer
ing on his men. By his death, the country is
deprived of one Of its most eloquent advocated

champions in the field
Col Baker, though his rpened years presented
him to the country as an accomplished lawyer,
and soldier OF repute, b. gan life under the
most humble circumstances, and is indebted to
no regular scholarship, either in literature or
arms, for the distinction which, in both ef these
positions be achieved. He vas essentially one
OF those spontaneous creations, which our noble
institutions 30 frequently develope, and which are
most honOrably known among US, as " self made
men," And that Col. Baker was a high speci-
men Of that class may be seen by the difficulties
which retarded him at bis outset, and the pitch
of the elevation he attained.
The dead Senator was of English birth, but he
came to this country when FIVE years OF age, and
by the choice Of his father was settled in Phila-
delphia, that Quaker neighbOrhood being espe
cislly congenial, as the old gentleman was of the
Society OF Friends" In few years the father
died, and left Edward. and younger brother re-
lationless, and unprovided. Labor, however,
that common patron of the we'll and willing, ex-
tended its resource through the occupation of
his father, and he obtained employment as a
weaver in a small establishment in South street
OF that city. There he remained faithfully at
work for considerable period of time, devoting
his earnings, for a while, to the support of his
brother, and gradually inaGucting him. that be

an ardent imagination, he naturally took deep
interest in reading, and being stimulated by the
slurements of romance, bis taste enlarged, until
it embraced the whole range of sober as we'll as
Of Elusive literature. But none, however, saw
in that patient, thoughtful never.fagging boy,
the future statesman whose youth was worthy of
a lift. Modesty is good maxim for the man.

and Edward Baker. whose mind had dwelt upon
the marvels of the West, feeling withiL himself
that confidence which innate strength inspires,

Cure for .Sprains.-In the Paris
hospitals treatment is practiced
that is found most successful for a
frequent accident, and which can be
applied by the most inexperienced.
IF the ankle is sprained, for instance,
let the operator hold the foot in his
hands, with tie thumbs meeting on
the swollen part. These having been
previously creased, are pressed sue
cessively with increasing force. on
the injvred and painful spot, for about
a quarter of sn hour This applica-
tion being repeated several times will,
in the course of the day, enable a
patient to walk, when other means
would have failed to relieve him.
