THE TRICHINA tHoG) DIsEAsE---
CURIOUS EXPERIMENT AMD MI
CROscOPIC EXAMINATIONS.

An English paper says
"The trichins cannot live at the tempera-
ture of boiling water, so that thorough cook
ing of suspected pork is all that is required
to render it harmless An illustration OF this
occurred at Hodersleben. A woman who
bought some sausages became seriously i'll
through eating some of them, whilst her
husband, for whom she fried the remainder
was uninjured. As meat, however, is usu-
ally boiled or roasted in pieces of consider
able size, 1t may easily happen that the in
terror may not reach the required tempera-
ture. Professor Hertwig made some very
conclusive experiments in proof of this. He
placed two pieces Of trichinous pork, each
about the size of one thumb, in cold water,
and then raised it to the boiling point One
piece he boiled twenty-five minutes, the
other twenty-five; and he found that the
first piece still contained living trichine,
whilst in the second piece they were all
dead. The violence of the outbreaks at
Hettstadt and Hedersleben must undoubtedly
be ascribed to the penchant of the inhabi-
tants for raw or insufflciently cooked meat.
ut has been enormously stated by some
that it is difficult to find trichine in infected
meat. This is not the case; a little experience
enables one to detect the position of one with
the naked eye, and with little practice in
the use of the microscope, they can be TO-
eussed in few minutes, and tits by no means
an unpleasant object, with its slow and
graceful gyrations; it lives, moreover, for
several weeks, and even months, in this
manner, and if at rest, merely requires
little careful warming to set it once more
coiling upon itself
Professor Hertwig, in some interesting
researches, showed with what astonishing
rapidity these parasites propagate. He ex-
amined four young porkers by making a
small incision, and examining the flesh re-
moved under the microscope, it was per-
fectly free from trchin@. To the first he
gave one 10th (about sixteen firammes) of
trichinous meat; to the second, two; to the
third, three; and to the fourth, four; and
then watched the effects. They became i'll
the same day; diarrhea and general stiff
ness of the limbs were the principal symp-
toms; and one of them died. In all not only
the one which died, but likewise in the other
three, not thousands but millions of trichine
were present. Before they were killed small
excisions were made from time to time, and
microscopical examination showed the pre-
sence of these parasite worms; even in eight
days their flesh was, so to speak, saturated
with them.

THE ASSAULT BY NIGHT.
By E. c. sTEDMAN.

All night we hear the rattling flaw,
The easements shiver with each breath;
And still more near the foemen draw,
The pioneers of Death.
Their grisly chieftain comeSi
He steals upon us in the night;
Call up the guards light every light
Beat the alarum drumsl
His tramp is at the outer door;
He bears against the shuddering walls;
Lol what dismal frost and hoar
Upon the window fallsl
Outbar him while ye mayl
Feed, feed the watch-fires everywhere
Even yet their CHEEKY warmth will scare
This thing of night away.
Ye cannot something chokes the grateS
And clogs the Dir within its fues,
And runners from the entrance-gate
Come chill with evil news;
The bars are broken opel
Hal he has scaled the inner WALL
But fight him still, from hall to hall;
While life remains, there's hope.
Too latel the very frame is dust,
The locks and trammels fall apart;
He reaches, scornful of their trust,
The portals of the heart.
Aye, take the citadel
But where, grim Conqueror, is thy preyt
In vain thou'lt search each secret way,
Its flight is hidden'well.
We yield thee, for thy paltry spoils,
This shell, this ruin thou hast made;
Its tenant has escaped thy tolls,
Though they were darkly laid
Even now, immortal, pure,
1t gains house not made with hands,
A refuge in serener lands,
A heritage secure.

THE NAVY.

The Worlds special says bill prepared
in accordance with suggestions of the Secre-
tary of the Navy, to regulate the appoint
ment of certain volunteer officers in the
Navy, has been considered. The House
Naval Committee agreed to report it to the
House. 1t provides that in time of peace
the number of Rear Admirals OF the active
list of the Navy shall be reduced when any
officer of that grade shall be removed by
death or resignation or otherwise, and such
removal shall not create a vacancy to be
filed so long as peace continues. That pro-
motion 10 the grade of Rear Admiral on the
retired list shall be made by the selection,
by Board of Rear Admirals, Of three Com
modores from the retired list as most worthy
in point of character, ability and honorable
service, one Of whom shall be selected by
the President and sent to the Senate for
confirmation. That of the number of line
officers of the Navy on the active list five
Lieut.. Commanders, twenty Lieutenants,
fifty Masters and seventy-fye Ensigns shall
be appointed from those officers who have
served in the volunteer naval service for two
years. A Board OF Officers is to examine
and select the candidates. ANY officer who
has served for two years has the right to
appear before the Board and be examined
for appointment in the regular navy.

Of all the "smart" instances of Yankee
ingenuity, perhaps the smartest is the trick
played on the authorities of New Brunswick
after their recent offer of 50 for the snout of
every bear killed in the colony. a large
number of shouts were recently brought in
chiefly by Indians, but in course of time it
was discovered that most of the trophies
were limitations only, cunningly manutac-
tured of India rubber and gutta percha, by
clever manipulators in the State of Maine,
who sold them to the Indians at half dollar
each.

A MAN BLOWN UP Bx "PHARoAH's SER
PENIS" IN CHURcH.-We learn from the
Quincy (Ill.) Wing, of Feb. Goth, that during
the services of the Fifth Street NJ. E. Church
last Monday evening, some matches in the
pocket of young man named Spencer
ignited from ssme cause, probably from ac-
cidental friction. He attempted to extinguish
the flames, but some ''serpents eggs" being
in the same pocket, took fire and commenced
discharging their suffocating fumes and roll
ing out their horrid, snsky convulsions in a
manner that for time bsffled all efforts to
extinguish the 'infernal" combustion. The
female portion of the audience was soon
thrown into wild state of alarm and disor-
der, resulting, however, in no serious conse-
quences. The young man, we are told, had
his hands and clothes somewhat burnt,
though he fortunately escaped any great or
personal injury.

Dear Sir

Dear Sir
I have hitherto in vain tried TO obtain
q detailed account Of the great fire in
Port au Prince, which disastrous
confagration is another instance of the
great extent to which a fire will some
times spread in a Town, where Timber
enters largely into the composition Of tile
buildings.
I have, however, now written TO the
Agents in st. Thomas, to see and pro-
cure the necessary calculations, as | con-
slider all such materials useful in the pro-
per development of our future building
laws, hoping that the public in this and
several other late instances of the rava-
ges by fire will find a weighty motive in
the improvement offuture buildings, the
cost of which is SO disproportionate to
the advantages conferred both to the in
sured and uninsured, the former in pay
ing smaller rates, and the others in
greater security conferred.

The Ivy Green.
By CHARLES DICKENS.

Oh, dainty plant is the Ivy Green,
That creepeth DER ruins old
ofright choice food are his meals. wsen,
In his cell so lone and cold.
The wall must be crumbled, the stone decayed
To pleasure his dainty whim
And the Wondering dust that years have made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the Ivy Green.
Fast he stealeth on, though he wears no wings
And staunch old heart has he; ..-
How closely he twineth, how tight he clings
To his friend, the huge Oak Tree.
And slyly he traileth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves,
AS ne joyously hugs and crawleth round
The rich mould of dead mems graves.
Creeping where grim death has been,
A rare old plant is the Ivy Green.
Whole ages have fed, and their works decaye
And nations have scattered been;
But the stout old Ivy shall never fade
From its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant, in its lonely days,
Shall fatten upon the past;
For the stateliest building man can raise,
Is the Ivy's food at last.
Creeping on where time has been,
Arare old plant is the Ivy Green.

event took place at East Haddam, on
the Connecticut river, early on the
evening of the 18th ult. Mrs. E.
Marston, her young son and a little
girl, the daughter Of Capt. Frank
Boardman, went to the river, where
the children proceeded to battle, while
Mrs. Marston sat on the bank. Sud-
denly her attention was attracted by
the cries of the children, and she found
that they had got beyond their depth.
With motherly instinct she plunged
into the water to rescue the little
ones, and was herself carried under.
All three soon appeared, struggling
for life, but the effort was unavailing
and they finally went down to a
watery grave.
