DESTRUCTION or THE PRESIDENTS Sra
nLEs.-Ihc Washington Star of Friday
says:
Last night about 81 clock, fire oc
cured at the private stables Of President
Lincoln whereby the building, except
that part used as carriage house, was
destroyed The building was of brick,
and contained at the time six horses, all OF
which were burned to death before they
could be taken from the stable. Two OF
these horses. of brown color. were pri-
waite property of the President: a pair Of
bay blonded horses were owned by MIR.
Nicolav. the Presidents private secretary
while the remaining two ponies were those
used by the Presidents son, Tad Lin
coin. One of these ponies was all the
more highly priced, in consequence OF
having once been the property of Willie,
the deceased son Of Mr.. Mrs. President
Linoln. Three carriages were saved from
destruction.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an inccndiary. The stables were
NSht"u Win sas tiic PiPc VI WIN" nv
truded from the walls eof the building
ON either side, in the rear of the houses,
and all combustible matter was far re-
moved from jets, and there was no posi-
bilty of its taking fire from that cause,
the only other fire in the stable was in the
stove, and it was not probable it caught
there either. for there was no combustible
matter in its immcnd ate vicinity, and
besides the indications are that the fire
commenced in the end OF the building
away from the stove

sd- NJ M0RALITY.-In. some of its
phases, Mohammedan mercantile
morality exceeds in its scrupulous
ness that ofa any other people, what
ever their religious character or
creed. A mercantile firm in Sal.
onca had bills to q large amount on
the principal inhabitants and mer-
chants Of the place, which with
their books and papers, were des-
troyed by fire. On the day follow,
ing, prominent Turk, who was
largely in their debt, went in per.
son and told them t1at, having
heard that their papers had beer
destroyed, he haG brought a copy
of his account with them and fresh
bills for the amount which was
their due. This example was foll
owed by all the Turkish debtors to
them. 1t does not appear to be
intimated that this course was one
that they had ever learned from
the Christian traders in their coun-
try.

IMMENSELY OF THE UNIvERsE.-As s
a proof of what q vast book the
visible heavens are, and also of the
diligence of the student, man, in
turning over its leaves, DR.. Nichol,
in his work describing the magni.
tude of Lord Roses telescope, says
that Lord Rose has looked into a
space so inconceivable, that light
which travels at the rate Of 200,-
900 miles in one second, would rel
qnire periol of 25O,OOO,O0O of
solar years, each year containing
about 100000 of seconds, to pass
the intervening gulf between this
earth and the remoteGt point to
which this telescope has reached.
How utterly unable is the mind to
grasp even a fraction of this iml
msnse period. 10 conceive the
passing events of a hundred thour
sand years only, is an imposeibilil
ty, to say nothing Of millions and
hundreds Of millions of years.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption OF the
blood. by which this fluid becomes vAatcd,
weak. and poor. Being in The circulation, it
peyades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from It's attacks, nor is there oSe which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous tnnt is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis.
erdeGed or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and klt,y habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all. by the vcncrral infection. What
ever be It's origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stituton, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, 81
will visit the miquities Of The fathers n"nr
their children"
Its effects commence BY deposition from tho
blOsd OF corrupt or ulcrrOus matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubcrcles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface crrptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gci.dcrs in the blood, deprCsses
the encrgics Of llc 50 that sci ofulous consitu-
iions net only suffer from scrofulous conf
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
qnontly var mbCrs perish by disorders
which, although not scrofillous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of tho consumption which de-
ciisates the human family has its origin directly
nj this serdfHlous contamination and many
destructive diseases of tie liver, kidneys, brain
and, indeed of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.

To DESTROY DoRERs IN FRUIT
TREEs.-Bore the tree about one
inch in depth with gimlet or
small augur; fiilthe hole thus made

with clay OF shoemaker's wax
The sulphur will penetrate the tree,
or the sap will carry it into the
pores Of the tree, and the borers
will disappear, and the trees will!
recover from their injurious effects
| saved a thrifty apple tree by this
method q few years since. The
sulphur does not injure the tree;
the hole made for it will grow up,
and the tree will thrive again.
If holes made by the borers are ac'
cessable, fill them with sulpher,
and the borers will not again
trouble the tree.
If the trees are large more sulI
phur will be required, and perhaps
an inch augor. would not be too
large. Let the sulphur be put into
the tree IN half dozen places. 1t
will not injure the tree, and is a
certain remedy against the borer.
