To PREVENT FLIES FROM TEASING HORSES
Take two or three small handsful of walnut
leaves, upon which pour two or three quarts of
soft cold water let it infuse one night, and pour
the whole, next morning, into kettle, and let it
boil for quarter of an hour When cold it will
be fit for use. No more IS required than to wet a
SPONGE and before the horse goes out The stable
let those parts which are most irritated be
smeared owe. with the liquor: between and upon
the ears, the neck, the flank, etc. Not only the

A CURIOUS SET OF WOUNDs.-A soldier Of
powerful brawny frame, belonging to the 2lst
North Carolina so badly cut up st the lsts battle
of Vincbester. is lying at the Seminary hospital.
IN that town. He received Minnie bullet IN
both thighs, from opposite directions. A ball
entered the arm near toe elbow, and went crush
inc through thews and muscles up to the should
ars and out at the calYicle. Another entered
inst above the small of the back. The surgeons
endeavored in vain to find it. Several days
afterwards it passed from the bowels. The ball
IS preserved by DR.. Chapel, and is but little fat
tened.
TIE question is how did that ball get into tie
Intestinal canals, and pass thence without CANS
ino- death! All the army surgeons say there IS
no parallel case on record. The man eats heartily,
has excellent digestion, and has been living
nearly four weeks, and has every p .spect Of
Getting well Of all his wounds. His skin has
healthy appearance his eye is clear, and he talks
cheeYfully. .-NOrtherH paper

q By the following from the New York
Herald it will be seen thst Unsuccessful defense
of Richmond by the Cenfederstes has relieved
the Yankee Congress Of some anticipated Ia
Dor:
The movements Of Gen. Mcclellan absOrbs
everything else in Washington. A msjOrity ia
both Houses Of Congress are unwilling to take
an action on an adjournment until after Gen
Mcclellan strikes a final and decisive blow at
Richmond. From ali the indications received
here, it appears very certain that he viii be in
the capital of the Old Dominion on the fourth of
July; and sooner, il the rebels should bring on
general engagement. The capture Of Richmond
may require Congressional legislation as to the
future conduct Of the war, and there IS no prob
ability that either R0use viii adjourn until after
the great fight takes place.

An ImperiaI Rnnourt.


A Paris letter writer thus describes the oriental
banquet recently given by the viceroy of Egypt
to the emperor and empress of France:
The viceroy occupied, during his visit, the
part of the Tuileries called the Pavilion MaTsan,
and the dinner was given in grand hall, deco
rated with a large collection of rich and curious
historical srmor purchased by The emperor some
time since, and intended to ornament one OF
bis numerous chstesus. The emperor and en-
press, the pacha and his nephew, were seated at
table laid for four persons, and at some yards
distance was another table for the ladies and
members of the imperial household, who Were
invited to the party. On entering, rich basins
were presented to the emperor and empress, who
allowed peTfumed water to be poured upon their
hands, in conformity with the Egyptian custom.
On being seated, napkins were laid in the lap
of each, embroidered in the corners to the depth
of six inches with diamonds and pearls. The
table was entirely covered by q large silver
salver, the knives, forks and spoons being
massive gold The cooking was entirely pre-
pared in the Egyptian manner, the pacha's
cooks having purchased all the animals alive.
Among the numerous dishes were two lambs
roasted whole. Everything was served, how
ever, in the French style-Only one dish handed
at a time
At the time of dessert, the silver salver was
removed, and gold one put in its place, the
entire desert service being Of gold, Ornsmented
with diamonds; the dishes were of solid gold,
and filed with the most magnificent fruits.
After dinner the whole company retired to an
other room, where coffee was served in small
cups studded with diamonds, end after coffee
cbiboukS were handed to each of the guests.
The prince imperial was present at the din
ner, without partsking Of it, and when the pipes
were offered accepted one with great gravity,
seating himself cIOssed-legged, in imitation Of
the other guests. The newspaper accounts of
the affair represent the emperor and the empress
as having been seated in like fashion, but this
was too great scandal on their msiesties to be
patiently borne they, therefore caused this part
to be set Alright, and the papers now state that
their majesties occupied thrones, which were
provided for them. 1t is said that the empress
holds a great aversion to the Pacha, owing to
his being a Mahomedsn. She tolerates nothing
that does not find favor in the Holy Father st
Rome-and that the Pacha pereeiving her dis
like, determined to overcome it. He therefore
sent to Egypt for all the paraphernalia Of his
Oriental splendor, including his five mutes,
who are said to interpret his wishes and obey
his commands by watching the motion Of his
eyelids; and that he was perfectly successful in
propitiating the favor of her majesty, who was
charmed with the dinner and with her host

From the london Herald DERBY organ,) June IoI
By Withholding the recognition of the Con-
fedeTate States long after their power to main
tain their independence has been proved, and a
de faot0 government, at least as firm in its seat
as that at Washington, has been established, we
are giving to the invaders that encouragement
and support which we are bound to withhold
from them. We say to them in effect, Garry
on the war as long as you can; do your utmost
to crush rebelioni we will give you every tacili-
ty to do so, allow you your own time, and will
not proclaim your failure till you yourselves ad-
NIT it." This is the language and the attitude
either of power which approves the war, or OF
one which fears to offend the stronger belliger-
ent In neither aspect is it worthy Of the chaI-

THE NEW SLAVE TRADE TREATY.

In the house of Commons, on the 19th June,
Yiscount PalmerstOn, in moving for leave to in
troduce bill to carry into effect the treaty be-
tween her Majesty and the United States of
America for the suppression of the African slave
trade, said that the American government had
behaved in the hsndsOmest manner in reference
to this treaty. Hear, hear. They had long
been aware that the American flag had been
made cover for carrying on the slave trade,
and they had of their own accord proposed this
treaty, which was in all respects adapted, as
far as their flag was concerned, TO put an end to
the preparation of the crime. Hear, hear
Leave was then given to bung in the bill
which was afterwards read first time.
