A NEW ENGLAND "CLAx BAkE".-A
number of western people have recently been
paying Tisit to their Eastern friends, and
at Portland, Main, the visitors were treated to
an old fashioned New England "clam bake, y
at which at least twenty-five hundred per-
sons were present. A Chicago paper gives
the following description of the affair:
Upon the ground, in space eight feet in
width by forty five feet in length, were placed

shelled CLAIMS, ten bushels of oysters, one
hundred Holsters, sixty dozen of eggs. one
hundred pounds Of Goldfish, three barrels of
potatoes. and three barrels of green corn. A
sail was then laid over the whole, and about
SIX inches Of rockweed was placed on top of
it, Then the steam began to come through

THE Progress, of Lyons. mentions new
remedy for the bite of a mad dog, discovered
by German veterinary surgeon of Madge-
burg named Hildebrand. by which the pain
full application of a red-hot iron is avoided.
This remedy consists in bathing ths place BIT:
ten with bot water. Mr.. Hildebrand has as.
certained by experience that hot water has
the effect of decomposing the virus, and, if
applied in time, renders cauterization UNI
necessary. In that case, all that is to be
done, after well bathing the part, as stated,
is to apply solution of eaustic potash to the
wound with a brush, and afterwards annoint
it with antimony ointment

ABOUT seven hundred of the ten thousand
rebel prisoners at Fort Delaware have taken
the oath of allegiance, and General Schoepf,
the commander of the post, is now organizing
them into cavalry regiment for the National
service. The General, who has had an Eu-
ropean experience, and understands the ma
ture of the bay onet or sabre that is borne on
both sides of war, does not admit any person
with property in the South, or wife and fam
lily there. Having thus excluded from this
organization the elements of revolt, he finds
in the simple -natured, docile, easily satisfied
Southern soldiers excellent material for a
regiment. Four companies of these men are
already attired in the st true blue" uniform;
and the General pointed them out with pride
and satisfaction as they marched across the
island to dress parade. The time has come
when it is not invidiops to do justice to the
good military qualities of the Southern sol.
dier, and General Schoepf is not slow to pre-
dict a successful career to this novel regi.
ment, which the rebel :. ten thousand" style
galvanized rebs." Hundreds of East Ten.
nessee prisoners and deserters from the rebel
army joined the National forces as soon as
they could find recruiting officer, and are
to-day doing most heroic and faithful service

A TENDER hearted writer says: "Who has
not felt the beauty of 2 woman Is arm-the
unspeakable suggestions of tenderness thst
lie in the dimpled elbow, and all the varied,
gently -lessening curves down to the dellcats
wrists, With its tiniest, almost imperceptlble
nicks in the firm softness." We remember
distinctly the sensation of woman's hand
some years since, when short clothes were ;, IN
fashion, but the impression was more enis::
ening than pleasing, as we recall it.

1t was in the battle of Stone River. a raw
Hoosier recruit in one of Crosses regiments
got very much interested in the fight. 1t was
the first time he had smelled fire. He had
been long enough in the army to learn its
slang. and he used it zealously. The fellow
fought like tiger. He loaded in a good
deal less than nine times, and fred wher-
ever he could see head His whole soul
was in it. Every time he levelled and fred
he shouted: Here's your mule!r snap,
bang, Here's your mule!" At about the
twentieth round, a Rebel sharpshooter struck
him in the left arm. He looked at the wound
In amazement, and with sort of spasm,

down his musket carefully and stripping off
his accoutrements, he also laid them down

scribed the affair said it was the most ludi
crous incident he had ever witnessed on a
battle fed. g Roseyp laughed at it until
the tears rolled down his cheeks.

The HUMAN PULsE.-The human pulse has
in all ages been consulted as an index OF
health or disease. 1t is a kind of dial with
in us, which gives US both the measure of
time and of health The pulse of person in
health beats about seventy strokes in min
ute. and the ordinary term of life is about
seventy years In this seventy years the
pulse Of a temperate person beats two billion,
five hundred and seventy four million. four
hundred and forty thousand times. If no
actual disorganization should happen, a
drunken person might live qntill his pulse
beat this number of hmes; but by the con-
slant stimulus of ardent spirits, or by pulse
quickening food, the pulse becomes greatly
accelerated, and the two billion, five Shans hun
and forty thousand pulsations are performed
in little more than half the ordinary term of
human life. and life goes out in forty or forty
five years instead of seventy. This aappliea-
ton of numbers is given to show that the
acceleration. of those forces diminishes the
term of human life.-Nedical Journal.

PoLrGAMY ILLEcAL.-The Deseret, Utah,
News contains the following report of ha-
beas corpus case recently decided by Judge
Drake, of Great Salt Lake county:
"A mother, by writ of habeas corpus,
brought her daughter of seventeen before the
Judge, asking that the mother have custody
of the daughter, who was then under the con-
troll of man named Park, who claimed her
as his lawful welded wife. The case com
ing up for hearing, it was shown that Park
already had one wife, by whom he had sew
eral children, and that his two wives lived in
the same house. The Judge decided that the
second marriage was not lawful, but crime
against the laws of the United States, and.
therefore, null and void; and censure rests
upon it. The Judge decided the mother was
entitled to the custody of the girl. The News
characterizes the Judges doings as detes
tible proceeding and an official outrage

TO THOSE WHO DO THINK

We say that Rad,oGy's Ready Rehef is the
most elegant and powerful medicine known in
the world. This is not Boosting try it if you
feel sceptical and be convinced. 1t combines in
its composition the properties Of diffusive
stimulant, an Anti-septc, mild but effective
Astringent, and direct power over the nerves,
neither narcotic nor anodine, that relieves pain
in manner peculiar to itself, and for which we
have no word in the English language exactly
to express its action The French call it Soul
ogement So much for its internal administra-
ton. When applied externally, it will be found
powerful counter-irritant, instantly reddening
the surface to which it is applied and withdraw
ing the blood from somo neighboring part,
where it may be congested or heaped mp, causing
pain and leading to inflammation. 1t fulflls
the indication of equalizing the circulation most
effectively, and most beautifully to minds that
can understand its action.
The Grand Haven news. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1858-18??, 1863-09-02
TO THOSE WHO THINK.

Now, we hold that all external remedies act
either in enc of two ways, or combine the
action of both. First-They act directly upon
the nervous system without touching the blood
vesses--the sanguiferous system. All Arnica
liniments, nerve lniments, etc, belong to this
class, and consequently only benumJ the ends o.
the nerves, without affecting at all the circulat
tion-may temporarily stop pain-but have not
the slightest effect in restoring the equilibrium
of circulation, essential to healthy action: Or
Secondly They act upon the blood vessels with
out, as in the case of depletives, Oeeches or
cups) regard to the nervous system. Now, the
fact is-that the nerves preside over the blood
vessels and an external application to be effect
i've must act upon both nerves and blood vessels.
Railways READY RELIEF.
We proclaim, has this double action Of assuag-
ing pain, by its specific effect upon the nerves
and equalizng the circulation, by its effect up
on the blood vessels In this way it relieves and
cures Rheumatism, Lumbago, Tooth ache Head
ache, and variety of such like complaints
When taken internally, its astringent and diff
fusive stimulating properties check in the most
natural manner Darrhea, Coles, and other
bowel complaints. Whilst for sore Threats, ac-
companied by putresency, and for fever patients,
with Typhoid symptoms, an eminent physician
attached to the New Orleans Hospital, has pros
nounced it far superior an dnti-septic and an
requirement, to the celebrated can Medicindl-
of Raspail. He administers it internally to HE
patients, and sprinkles his wards with it, Let
the sick and all those who suffer pain, test It's
virtues. RADWAY & CO.,
