Salt and Snow.

A bill is before the N. Y. Legislature tc
prohibit persons from throwing salt on the
streets, to dissolve snow or ice. The pro-
priety of such an act is clear to any reflect
ing mind. As is well known, the chemical
effect mingled snow and salt is to produce
extreme cold. Confectioners use this mix.
ture to manufacture ice cream. The snow
by action of the salt, is dissolved into
a watery or washy, compound, which
reaches the zero point. The degree Of
cold continues until all the water is exhal-
ed. When salt is thrown in large quaint.
ties on snowy streets the atmosphre is
chilled, with damp exhalations, producing
pulmonary diseases. The hoofs of horses
are frozen. Every spring many of these
animals are shot, to relieve them from in
curaple misery. Physicians in cities are
of opinion that many diseases-such as
bronchitis, inflammation of the lungs, and
consumption-sre owing, to this unhealthy
practice.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil

is constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of it. No organ is free
nom its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
oroered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
anu nitny habits, the depressing vices, and,
ABOVE all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be Its origin, it is hereditary in the con.
sttutlon, descending I" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; ;" indeed.
1t seems to be the rod of Him who saws. at
will visit the iniquities of the fathers unon
their Children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; IN the glands, swelings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul COR
ruption, which genders IN the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

A Conflict With a Tiger.

While Maccamo was going through bis
performance with the Bengal Tigers at Man
der's Menagerie yesterday, a tigress caught
his hand in her mouth. Planting his knee
on the small of the tigress' back, and pres
sing her against the bars of the cage, then
Selling her lower jaw with the right hand,
he held her powerless to do more than re.
tain the left hand in her mouth. So cool
was Maccoma in this trying position tha:
lookers-on thought it part Of his perform
ance, but when Maccomo called one of the
keepers, She has got my hand fast in her
mouth; get bar of hot iron,' the truth of
this dagerous position flashed through the
minds of those present, and created the
greatest excitement-one lady fainting
away, others running from the painful
sight. -Four or five minutes elapsed be-
fore the iron was ready, during which time
Maccomo stood as piece of statuary not
a quiver of lip to show the pain he was en-
during. When ready the hot iron was
applied quickly and surely by one of the
keepers to one of the large teeth in the
upper jaw, and, as though she had been
electrified, her mouth sprang open. Mac
como, quick as lightning drew his hand
away, caught hold Of thick stick, struck
the animal terrific blow on the skull,
brought her down and forced her to finish
her performance before he left the cage
When Macomo came out of the cage, his
bleeding hand testified 10 the frightful
struggle which had been going on between
man and beast.-Liverpool Mercury Jan.

A Story of Gen jackson.

A correspondent of the Tribune telle
this story.
A prominent gentleman in this State
told me, on unquestionable authority a re-
miniscence of the days of notification. 1t
seems that Gov. Letcher of Kentucky, who
sympathized with the nullifers of 1882,
called upon Gen. Jackson to learn if posi-
bic, what the General intended to do to-
wards crushing Calhoun's conspiracy a.
gainst the Union. The Gov. opened the
subject mildly, and Jackson only answered
by'telling Letcher to read certain instru-
ment of writing on the table before them.
Letcher read it, and found it to be war
rant for the execution of John c. Calhoun,
"But my dear General, you don't intend to
carry out what this paper calls for! "Gov.
Letcher, is my name signed to that paper 2"
ayes, General, it is" "Very well. Gov
ernor; it is very seldom that sign papers
merely for effect. Gov ernor, look on the
left corner on the paper; is the seal of the
United States to it!" sit is, General"
Gov. Letcher visited Mr.. Calhoun after he
left Gen. jackson, and awakening him out
of his sleep, related to him his interview
Gen. Jackson. Gov. Letcher alleged that
Mr.. Calhoun assumed the appearance of a
ghost, when he heard what Gen. jackson
intended to do, and notification lost all its
venom from that hour. Gen. jackson
said on his death bed that be had only one
thing to regret and that was that he had
not hung John G. Calhoon.

From the Rome Citizen.
A Doctor Camping out in a Snow
Storm.

from the NOME CltlZeQ.
A Doctor Camping out i'm a Snow
Storm.
DR.. Harold H. Pope was on his way to
see patient in Verona, early on Thursday
evening, and was overtaken by the storm
in all its fury. Owing to the drifted roads
at some points the path had been moved
to the adjoining fields. All traces of the
track, were, however, soon obliterated, and
nothing and nothing could be seen at times
not even the horses head. The Doctor
could not find his way out of one of these
fields, and his finally became so complete
ly confused that he refused to bulge an
any direction. Here was a dilemma but
DR.. Pope was equal to the emergency
Instead of wasting his vital energies in
useless attempts to extricate himself, he
prepared to camp on the spot for the night,
id the following manner: He disengaged
the horse from the cutter, and took off his
harness; be then took one of the two Buff
falo robes be had with him and put it on
his horse, and then replaced the harness,
buckled it on and made it all safe. He
then tied the horse fast to a tree. The
Doctor then turned his cutter up sideway,
so as to make barricade against the storm,
and wrapping himself up in the remaining
robe, lay down undsr protection of his cut
ter, and so, spent the entire night. We
learn the Doctor suffered some damage in
bis feet from the frost, but when the morn
ing sun dispelled the storm, and he discov
cred his bearings, he hitched his faithful
steed once more to the cutter, and made
the visit to his patient as if nothing had
happened. Presence of mind, and great
power of endurance, saved our medical
friend from great sufferings and perhaps
from death.

AYERS I'D.
Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLEs, PUsTuLEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRN,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIc and MERCURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILIrY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in Z" imp,u.ity fthe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible In
contaminated constitutions.
