treaty with the United Kingdom and the
provinces, either Jointly or seYerally, to reg
ulate the commerce and navigation between

nlanent security of the fisheries ofthe United
States, to receive the free interchange Of the
chief products OF art and manufacture, as
we'll as the products of the forests and agri-
culture and other product between the pro
vinees and the United States, and to secure,
if possible, the eisoontinuance Of any free
ports that may endangera revenue and the

A LITTLE CATECHISM FOR LIT
TIE FREE TRADERS.

What is Free Trade? An English ma
chine for breaking down the manufactures
of other countries, in order to monopolize
them.
What are the wages Of Free Trade? Six
pence day.
Who are benefited by Free Trade? Those
who import the raw material, and export
the manufactured articles to supply the
countries from which the former Is obtain
ed.
Who are the advocates Of Free Trade ?
The English aristocracy, played out politi-
clans Of the American Democracy, and the
Southern cotton lords.
What would be the effect of Free Trade?
To shut up all American workshops, turn
our artlzals and mechanics out of employ
ment, and several hundred millions OF dol
lars in gold, annually, to Europe, and de-
prive our Government of money now re-
ceived for duties on imports, with which to
pay the interest Oh the public debt
1t is time that the people OF such States
as Pennsylvania begin proper movement
on tho subject of protecting the labor by
which their resources are developed and
the wealth which supports the Government
created The free trade movement origi-
mates with the Democracy of New York
city. The leaders of that party are backed
by English manufacturers and capitalists,
in this as were the leaders of the rebellion
backed by the same men. Let these facts
be remembered, and the free trade league,
Ike the combination Of treason viii be de-
feated.

POSITION In SLEEPING.


Il is better to go to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very much in
the position of a bottle turned upside down,
aud the contents of il are aided in pressing
out by gravitation. If one goes to sleep on
the left, the operation of emptying the stom-
ach of its contents is more like drawing wa
ter from well, After going to sleep, let
the body take its OWL position. lfyou sleep
on your back, especially soon after hearty
meal, the weight of he digestive organs and
that of the food resting on The great vein of
the BODY, near the back bone, compress 1t,
and arrest the flow Of the blood more or
less. Ifthe arrest is partial, the sleep Is
disturbed, and there are unpleasant dreams.
If the meal has been recent and hearty, the
arrest is more decided; and the various SEN
sations, such as falling over a precIpIce, or
other impending danger, and the desperate
effort to get rid of it, arouse us, and send
ON the stagnating blood; and we wake in a
fright, or trembling, or in perspiratIon, or
feeling exhaustion, according to the degree
of stagnation, and the length and strength
of the efforts to escape the danger. But,
when we are not able escape the danger
when we do fall over the precipice-when

those of whom it is said, when found ifeless
in the morning That they were as well
as they ever were the day before and ate
heartier than common?
This last, as frequent cause OF death to
those who have gone to bed to wake no
more, we give merely as a private opinion.
The possibility OF its ruth is enough to de-
ter any rational man from a late and hearty
meal. This wedo know. with certainty, that
waking up in the night with painful diar-
rhea, or cholera, or bilious cholic, ending
in Death in a very snort time, is properly

will take the safe side. For persons to eat

A New Plague in germany.

The Aveg,tr National, a Paris journal,
publishes letter from d.. Karl Stein, Of
Frankfort, dated the 9th ult., which contains
an account of the new plague which is COM
mitting such havoc In Germany The little
town Of Edersleban, in the environs of
: sMagdeburg, which, is usually SO smiling and
happy is new filed with mourning and desc
lation. For whole month past death has
reigned there A fearful death after unex-
ampled suferings. and those that are ac-
quainted with the nature of their disease,
know that they are being eaten up alive by
legion of worms hardly so thick as human
hair, that have worked their way into the
tissues of their flesh, their muscles and their
nerves. Is not such fate horrible to dwell
upon? On the 9th of last month upwards
of one hundred children-for they appear to
enjoy an immunity-had been deprived of
their parents. There was hardly a house in
the village that did not number n victim.
At that date upwards of three hundred pa
tients were awaiting death, which they knew
to be inevitable-a prey to fearful sufferings.
From seventy to eighty of the inhabitants,
who at the outset OF the endemic had felt
unwell, had taken to fight to escape from
what they considered to be the cholera; but
they had fallen down on the roads, and died
without relief; their corpse alone were picked
up The epidemic was caused by the raya-
ges of the worm called trichine, whence the
epidemic has received the name of sstrichi
nosis The trichine is one of the estozod
Of the pig, and it is capable Of being trans
planted into and thriving in the hamanbody
In Germany, pork flesh, imperfectly cured
and smoked in the shape of ham and Ger
man sausage, is staple article of food, and
from the human stomach, where they pene-
trate with the ham and Sauclison, dear to
German palates, the larvae of these entozod
pass into the blood, their size being SO mic
roscropic as to enable them to penetrate even
into the minutest veins; they lodge in the
muscular aud cellular tissues, and feed upon
those parts of the human organization, caus-
ing fearful agony and great constitutional
disturbance, which ends in death. No cure
has been as yet discovered, but the preven-
tatiye process is obvious.

The survey of the mineral resources of
Pennsylvania, made by authority of the
Government thereof, by Henry Darwin Rog
ers, was the first in extent, accuracy and lib
erality ever made by similar authority of any
of the States of the Union The report of
Mr.. Rogers survey was so yoluminous In its
maps and illustrations ofmlneral veins, that
at the time its MSS was made ready for pub
lication, it was impossible to induce any
American map maker or Gthograph printer
to under take the execution of the work. Alr.
Rogers was consequently compelled to 60 a
broad, with the sanction of the State author
tiles, TO have his report printed. lie went
to Scotland and contracted with the world
renowned publishers, the 'tBLAoKwooDs
of Edinburgh, by whom the FIRST complete
and accurate Geological Survey of an Amer
ican State was printed But what Scotch
mechanics gained in reputation by this
achievement, American scientific knowledge
accomplished in another way, for the fame
which Mr. Rogers work gained him as a
scholar so attracted the attention of men of
letters in Great Britain, that Queen Victoria
was induced to confer on him an appoint
ment as Professor of Geology in one of the
leading colleges of Scotland, as being the
first American citizen, and a Pennsylvania,
who ever secured sucha recognition from a
European sovereign After an absence of
many years from his native country. Prof.
Rogers returns full of honors; coming back
at period too. when the mineral develop
mentS of our great State are about realizing
the brilliant statements with which his re-
port of survey of those fields abounds 1t
is expected that Prof. Rogers will be inthis
city during the present week, for the pur-
pose of consulting with the Legislature on
a proposition to dispose of an edition Of his
work, the same TO be distributed for deposit
in the different libraries of the Common
wealth. Harrisburg Telegraph.

WHAT is Gossip

We are often asked, ssWhat is gossip
We,answer in general way, that 1t ls talk
ing of persons rather than of things, Meth
ing shows the paucity of ideas more than
this talking about the affairs of your neigh
bors It's not only malicious people who
.originate scandal; it rs nauow-miuded pee7
pie, ignorant people, stupid people, Fer
sons ofculture and intelligence are not SO
hard run for topics of conversation. They
can usually find something TO say about art
literature, fashion, or society. The moment
people begin to talk of their neighbors Hot
persons rather than of things, they are apt
to degenerate into scandal: for where one
speaks of the virtues of an acquaintance, a.
dozen expatiate on his or her shortcomings.
And this brings us TO speak OF real culture,
or what we consider to be such, at least.
cultivated person, in the highest sense OF the
term, is not merely one who can talk OF books
pictures, and other elevated subjects OF h1l-
man interest. To be thoroughly cultivated,
the heart. as well as the intellect, Should be
refined and enlarged. Sometimes we see
women who, without education, yet having
been born amiable, are never guilty OF gos-
sip. Again we see women, not naturally
amiable, whom education has taught to talk
of things, not of persons. The perfect wo-
man, in this respect, is one who is both ami
able and educated But education does not
always elevate people above the regions Of
gossip. A really bad heartiisl always mall
cious. The best advice we can give is the
honiely old adage, Mind your own busi-
ness. = Very few Of US ever know the whole
truth about anything concerning neighbor,
and to speak of his, or her conduct, is usu-
ally to run the risk of being unjust. Much
less should we talk Of the motives of others,
Very few of us know our motives, and to
venture on discussing neighbor's motives
is always impertinence, and often real
crime.

CHRAPNEss OF AMERICAN PAPERS The
New York Citizen says that those who gruIn-
bic at paying four cents for daily and ten
cents for weekly papers here would do well
to notice what European papers cost. The +.
London Times cost $45, a year. The Mor7s-
ing C1tromcle, DAILY. NelcS, Globe, Herald
and Post, charge the same rate. The Lon
don Ere1aing Mail is published three times
week at $25 year. The London semi
weeklies, $12. The French daily papers,
London prints. Those about the size of
ours cost from $50 to $25 year. The Ger
man papers cost $22 to $36 year. The
cost of paper and composition, and indeed
everything connected with the make up Of
paper, is much less in Europe than in this
country, so the American journals are even
cheaper than would appear from the dis
parity of prices. e ~.
