AN INyA1UAHIE MEDICINE. - Rev.
DR.. Hanllin, of Constautinople, saved
hundreds oflives by the following sim
pie preparation during the terrible
raging of cholern in that city Jew
veslrs since. In no case did the remedy
fifI where the patient could be reached
in season. Is is no less effective in
cholera morbus and ordinary dtarrhea,
A remedy SO easily procured and so
yitaIly efficacious should be always on
hand. An ordinary vial of 1t can De
had for 25 cents or SO, and no family
should be without It over night.
Its prompt application will relieve
pain and presumptively save life:
Take-One part laudanum,
One part camphorated spirit,
Two parts tincture of ginger,
Dose One teaspoonfnl in a wine
glass of water. -.
Ifthe case be obstinate, repeat the
dose in three or four hours.

Consolidation of telegraph and Ex-

Consolidation OF Telegraph ana Xxx
t ~ press Companies.
1t seems that there are more com
panies engaged in the transmission OF
news by telegraph, and of goods by ex-
press, than the trade of the country
calls for. Accordingly the Western
Union Telegraph Company has absorb
ed the "stock, fixtures, and good will
of the United States Telegraph Com
pany; and the Bankers Express Com
1any has been sold to the Adams,
American, and United States Companies
By the terms of the telegraph sale, it
is agreed that the holders of United
States stock may take out Western
Union stock in lieu of their own at the
rate of two shares for each three sur
rendered. This is thought to be n very
good bargain for the United States
Company, which is said never to have
done much more than pay expenses,
and not always that. A great number
of offices will be closed by this arrange
Inent. MT places where ehch company
has hitherto maintained one, and, by
consequences, many operators = -tnroWn
ont of work. AtzAlbany, for instance,
there has been ten offices; henceforth
there will be two. AT Rochester, like;
wise. only two offices Will be retained
out of six.
The National Bankers Express is
new company organized at Syracuse
few, weeks ago, and having its central
Office there. It was projected to ply
between New York and Chicago. II
had not commenced operations when II
was sold out. Hence had arisen con-
lecture that it was set up to be knocked
down: and it is believed that several
other companies have lately been got
ten up for the same purpose.
The termsiof the transfer are stated
in a Syracuse paper to be these:
ave stated that fifty per cent. ot
the capital of the National was to be
paid in, and the capital of the other
Icompanies was to be increased to thai
extent. and they to issue their stock al
| mar to the shareholders of the National
| TO the amount of cash paid in, in pro
portion of forty, thirty-six, and TWEEN
lty-four of the Adams, American, and
| United States respectively. But we
should have said further, that IL Is I'M
lderstood (the surplus earnings being
first diyidedl that these combined com
panies are to increase their present
| capital of about eleven millions 70
| twenty millions, then TO add the five
/ millions of National, making com
4 bined capital of twenty-five millions
an increase of fourteen millions, with
| only an addition of Eve millions of ac-
tuai capital. Some, have the impres'
sion that all the companies are 10 bt
\ combined under one organizations
! such is not our understanding, but thal
they are to be continued as heretofort
under three distinct organizations"

Don't Wish to Inanlt Her.

The following apology was cool, but it
certainly should have been satisfactory.
Bill z. is known all over, and Bill was
at the Ball in all his glory. All his nee
essarles for pleasure were on hand-good
music, pretty girls, aud excellent whisky.
The evening passed of rapidly, as it al
ways does, and Bill had, about one o'clock,
become pretty happy. Stepping up to
young lady, he requested the pleasure of
dancing with her.
She replied that she was engaged.
"Well, said Bill, are you engaged for
the next set? she said she was
Can I dance with you the next, then
| am engaged for that also.
Can l dance with you tonight?
No, with some hesitancy.
Go to Boston," said Bill, highly indig-
pant, and turned On his heel.
After a few moments Bill was accosted
by the brother of the young lady, and
charged with insulting his sister,
Bill denies; but processes himself will
ling to apologize if he has done wrong,
and accordingly steps up to the young Ia
dy, when the following conversation en-
sued:

have issued spurious bills to the amount
of ore and quarter millions of dollars.
The little tax Of one cent upon every
box OF matches netted the Government
fifteen million of dollars last year. Ac-
eording to thai estimate, one hundred

matches must have been used in this
country during the year, or five punches,
equal to five hundred matches, for every
man, woman, and child.

family where religious examples would be
considered sufficient compensation for
board, it would do just as well.

Tilting Hoaps.

Whenever we see lady going along
the street wearing the "latest style" tilt
ing hoops, We are invariably reminded Of
the couplet of the old English poet, in
the times of ancient "hoopery," which, in
every plain language says.
"--their petticoats short, that hoop
eight yards wide,
Might deeently show where their garters
were tied"
Modesty, We should frown down this
abominable fashion of hoops skirts, start
ed, we haven't the least doubt, by some
brazen courtezan, who are the only class
of females that can hope to gain any ad-
vantage by their use.

a Man Shot by a Chicken.

A Sandwich Island newspaper records
singular accident. A man employed
on plantation, intending to shoot goat,
laid his cooked revolver in chair for a
moment when a chicken flew upon the
chair, and stepping on the pistol, fred it
of-whether with malicious intent, or
not, does not appear. The ball lodged in
the mans leg, inficting serious wound.
This is certainly curious Illustration of
the danger of leaving fire arms about.
