The USE OF RuM-The use of Rum "a a
cosmetic has, up to this time, been rather
limited, and gives US much pleasure to record
our opinion in its behalf, and recommend its
general use, in lieu of other nostrums that are
of more deleterious character:
The opprobrium which attaches to Rnm as
the SYNONYM for drunken wretchedness, seems
like to become obsolete in the new association
of ideas to which the world is now to direct
the mind The London Lancet, the highest
medical authority, proclaims rum to be the very
best known cosmetic, and earnestly recon-
mends its use to the ladies as q wash for the
face, entreating them to Danish the poisonous
compounds procured of the perfumers. In
our younger days in pleasant village on the
banks Of the Merrmac, we had the opportun-
ity of extreme juvenility to know the fact that
our girls " washed their faces in the pure
New England and purer white and red never
graced ball room and bewildered poor mas
culines, than "our girls " presented 1t is
well to remark that while the use of pure New
England as a cosmetic is to beautify the skin
by clarifying it, and assisting nature to "per-
feet work. as beverage it is apt, if used to
excess, to affix the carnation to the end of the

STEEL CANNON. - The London Engineer
states that two new guns have just been COM
pleted for the British government by the
Mersey Steel Company. They are made of
puddled steel, consolidated under the huge
steam hammer. Their length is 8 IL feet,
weight tons, 3 cwt. Their bore is only IL
inches, and yet they are intended for 100 lbs.

died steel appears to us to be the most suitable
of metals for making strong cannon. 1t is
capable of being run almost like cast iron;
then it may be hammered to consolidate its
particles, thus imparting to it the duplicate
quality of cast and wrought steel, so as to re-
sist both tensile and crushing force in supe,

From AUSTRALIA. By the Iconium, we

600 per month. The Chinese, of whom there
are large numbers, were causing much trouble

Flag Of the Planet Gems.

The following splendid poem was written
under spiritual influence, by Mary jane Gun
ningham, of Washington City. The poetess
was at the time no more than fourteen years
old. Under whatever influence produced, the
inspiring numbers will rank undisputed, with
the Star Spangled Banner" brakes "Ame.
rican Flag" and Hohenlinden."
Flag Of the planet gems!
Whose sapphire-encircled diadems
Stud ev'ry sea. and shore, and sky
Oh! can thy children gaze
Upon thy silver blaze
Nor kindle at thy rays.
Which led the brave of old to die?
Thou banner beautiful and grand,
Float thou forever DER our land
Flag OF the stripes of fire
Long as the bard his lofty Tyre
Can strike, thou shalt inspire our song
Wen sing thee round the hearth.
Well sing thee on strange earth,
Well sing thee when we forth
To battle go, with clarion tongue!
Flag of the free and brave in blood,
For aye be thou the blest of God
Flag Of the bird of Jove!
Who left his home, the clouds above,
To point the heroes lightning path
Around thee will we stand,
And glitt'ring sword in hand,
And swear to guard the land
Which queld the British lions wrath
Flag of the West be thou unfurled
Till the last trump arouse the world
Flag of two ocean shores!
Whose everlasting thunder roars
From deep to deep, in storm and foam
Though with the suns red set
Thou sink'st to slumber, yet
With him in glory great
Thou risest, and shall share his tomb
Thou banner beautiful and grand,
Float thou forever DER our land

SINGULAR CAsE.-About forty years ago a
gentleman was tried and convicted, upon cir
cumstantial evidence, of the murder of his niece.
She was heard to exclaim, "Don't kill me,
uncle, don't kill me- !" at that instant pistol
or fowlingpiece was fired off. Upon these
circumstances the gentleman was convicted
and executed. Near twelve months after, the
niece, who had eloped, arrived in England
and hearing Of the affair, elucidated the whole
transaction. 1t appeared she had formed an
attachment for person of whom her uncle
disapproved. When walking in the fields, he
was earnestly dissuading her from the connec-
ton, when she replied that she was resolved to
have him, or it would be her death and there
fore said, Don't kill me, uncle don't kill me !''
At the moment she uttered these words, q
fowling- piece was discharged by sportsman
in neighboring field. The same night she
eloped from her uncle's house and the combi
nation of these suspicious circumstances occa-
stoned his ignominious death.

hoops all boldly set, moved up the sidewalk
gaily, observed by all she met. The walk
was very wide, and twere useless cen to think
of walking up beside her. Her cheeks were
red as roses" her face was all smile; and
her tread it was as dainty as though earth was
all too vile" 1t was her hour of triumph,
and she didn't seem to know that coasting
sleigh was coming at speed not very slow.
But it came, and ere she knew it, her props "
were knocked away, and she was going down
street with boy upon his sleigh. The wind
it blew quite roughly, turning all the hoops
aback, and of partly smothered screams there
wasn't any lack; while the maiden didn't
know what she was or wasn't about, her per-
son much resembled an umbrella inside out.
The passers stopped and wondered as the
swiftly speeding sleigh, devoutly kept right

few words is all that is necessary to make
known the history and wonderful curative powers
of this astonishing remedial agent, the Highland
Bitters or celebrated Scotch Stomachic, which has
proved itself, in every instance to be the only pa
nacea or true tasman to health to the sick and af
ficted of every nation and of every cline. 1t was
discovered by George Ballangal, NJ. D., F. r. s.,
Professor of Military Surgery in the farfamed Uni
versity of Edinburg, Scotland When climatic dis
eases cutting off in thousands the British and
French soldiers in the Crimea, during the Russian
War Sir George Ballangal appointed by her
Majesty, Queen Victoria, Chief of the Medical
Commissioners, to investigate, in scientific man
ner, the extraordinary longevity and remarkable
good health which has always characterized the in
hab tants of the Scottish Highlands, and the causes
which led to such deplorable results to the same
individuals when exposed to change of climate.
He Sir George discovered by patient research that
the Hghlanders had been in the habit of using
certain combination of herbs and roots, indigenous
to their native hills and gleEs which, when COM
bined with oriental aromatics, found to be the
most superative invigorator and builder up of the
human system which the world or suffering human
ity has ever known Its remarkable powers a
precedented in every instance where its vr
tues were tried and it might have been truly said
that the good time had come at last.
Having proved itself equal to every emergency,
