NapoIeon,s Power OF memory.

His powers Of application and memo
ry seemed almost preternatural. There
was scarcely man in France, and none
in employment, with whose private his
tory character and qualifications he
was not acquainted He had, when EN-.
peror, notes and tables, which he called
the moral statistics Of his empire. He
revised and corrected them by ministeri.
al reports and private correspondence.
He received all letters himself, and what
seems incredible he reed and recollect.
ed all he had received. He slept little,
and was never idle one instant when
awake. When he had an hour for di
version, he not unfrequently employed it
in looking over hook of logarithms,
which he acknowledged, with some sur.
prise, was at all seasons of his life re-
creation to him. So retentive was his
memory of numbers, that sums over
which he had once glanced his eyes
were in his mind ever after. He recol.
ected the respective produce Of all tax
es through every year Of his adminiStra.
tion, and could at any time repeat any
one of them even to the centimes. Thus
his detection of errors in accounts seem.
ed marvellous, and he indnlged in the
pardonable artifice of displaying these
faculties in way to create a persuasion
that his vigilance was almost superna.

"COax Him, Boys, Coax Him."

Two boys passed my window one
bright morning, carrying heavy pieces
of furniture. One of them also had q
string which was attached to a large
dogs head. The dog was unwilling to
trot very rapidly, and, much to the lads
annoyance, would insist upon resting
every few steps, The large boy grew
impatient, for it was hard work to carry
such heavy load, and at the same time
drag the dog.
kick him, Jim, kick him." said he
and jim sat down his burden and began
to kick; but the dog only growled aud
refused to stir. Then jim took stick
and began to beat him; but the obsti.
nate fellow only whined and remained
perfectly still.
What was to be done2 The boys
were beginning to despair, when Frank
Gage came along. CoaT him, boys,
cOaT ham," was Franks manly suggeS-
tion. Some boys would have pouted,
and thought Frank had nothing to say
in the matter; but these seemed relieved
by the advice, and began te pat "'rrim"
and speak kindly to him. What was
the result? Why, "Trim" wagged his
tail approvingly, and trotted off briskly.

Destruction of Iron Ships by
G0lVanic Action Induced by
Preparations OF Copper.


The French floating battery La Gloire
has lately been examined, and found to
be seriously injured by the action of cop.
per on her iron plates, the whole of
which below the water line will have to
be removed, being converted into kind
of plumbago, by galVauic action. We
had occasion, some time since. to call
attention to the extraordinary state of
her Majesty'S ships Triton and Sharp
shooter. On their being docked for ex,
animation. the iron plates were, in some
places, reduced to the thickness of wri-
ting raper, and, in the Triton, the scra.
pers actually went through the plates
when removing the tons Of oysters, ba-.
nacles, &c, attached to the bottom. 1t
appears that this ship had been coated
with preparation of copper, and the
destruction of the plates and rivets arose
from galvanic action on the exposed
surface of the iron, where the undercoat
ing has become rubbed off under the
bow and forefoot and along the light
load water line. The salvation of this
ship from laundering was, no doubt, oc
casioned by the adhesion Of the shell.
fish. She has just been thoroughly re.
paired at Devonport dock. yard, and is
now coated with Messrs Peacock &
Buchan's preparation, which is superse-
ding the copper preparation hitherto
used in her Majcsty's doek-yards We
understand that Captain Peacock, for
merly master in her Majesty's navy,
who published pamphlet on this sub
ject some years since, actually warned
the late minister Of marine in Paris a,
gainst what has now taken place two
years ago; be also waited on the minis.
ter of marine in Madrid on the same
subject, and has been for several years in
communication with our own admiralty
authorities on the Importance of pre-
venting galvanie action upon the iron
ships Of the British navy, and we are
glad to see that their fordships and our
dock-yard officials are at length alive to
this important subject. shipping Ga,

A New Remedy for Smallpox.

The Saracenia pupurea, or Indian
cup, q native plant Of Nova Scotia,
which we mentioned some time ago as
being the specific used by the Indians
against the smallpox, bids fair to realize
the expectations entertained by medical
men of its efficacy. In letter address
ed to the American Medical Times, DR..
F. w. Morris, President-Physician of
the Halifax Visiting Dispensary, states
that this Saracenia, a papaveraceous
plant, will cure smallpox in all its forms
within twelve hours after the patient has
taken the decoction. "However alarm
ing and numerous the eruptions," he
says, "or continent and frightful they
may be, the peculiar action Of the med.
icine is such that very seldom is a scar
left to tell the story of the disease. If
either vaccine or variOlus matter is wash
ed with the infusion of the Saracenia,
they are deprived of their contagious
properties. So mild is the medicine to
the taste, that it may be largely mixed
with tea and coffee, and given to con-
noisseurs in these beverages to drink,
without being aware Of the admixture.
The medicine has been successfully tried
in the hospitals Of Nova Scotia, and its
use will be continued. GGLignGni. mi
