How to Make e Poulsise.

The great Abernethy did not despisa the
day of small things, be did not think rightly
Of what many consider little matters in sur
gerry, not worth knowing to a practitioner
and still less fitting TO attract the notice of a
professor of surgery at the Royal College OF
Surgeons, he devoted part Of a lecture in
showing how to make poultice.
The most soothing application for local dis
eases, said Abernethy, is tepid bathing. and
this we can manage by puttiug.on poultiee,
being careful that the person is kept in bed,
otherwise the poultice will serve the purpose
of a cold bath. The poultice Of which I am
fond, above all others, is the bread and wa
ter poultice. In making it. scald cut basin
for you cannot make a good poultice unless
you have perfectly boiling water-then, hav-
ing put in some hot water, throw in coarsely
crumbed bread and cover It with a plate
When the bread has soaked up as much as
water as it viii imbibe, drain off the remain
ing water, and there will be left light pulp.
Spread it third of an inch thick, on folded
linnen, and apply it when of the tempera-
ture Of a warm bath. It may be said that
this poultice VIII be very inconyenient. If
there be DO lard, for it will soon get dry: but
this is the very thing you want, and It can
be easily moistened by dropping water on it.
A poulice thus made may be medieined or
seasoned with laudanum or poppy-water,
with carrot or horse-redish Juice, or with de-
coctions of herbs, with which the doctor OF
patient NAV be inclined to medicate it, in
stead OF loading an already irritable and SEN
sitive part with heap of poppy shells, or
scraped carrots and horse radish, called pop
pv-carrote and horse redish poulGce but
which increase rather than allay the suffer
er's pains.
When vegetables, as carrots, horse-radish
and others, are used to medicate poultices
they should be bruised, put into a pot, cnv-
cred with water. and Simmered for half an
hour The Juice is strained off and mixed
with bread and water or linseed meal, to the
consistency of poultice. The fermentation
may be used with the bread or meal in the
| same way.

The Democratic Candidate for Secretary Of
State.

THAT bitter Radical paper, the Mac-a-
Cheek Press, is not pleased with the
low, personal assaults which some of its
eotemporaries have made upon LeFever,
the Democratic candidate for Secretary
of State. It says:
ave have been long enough in pOliti-
cal life to learn that personal abuse is
damaging only to the party that indulges
in it. It sometimes creates sympathy in
quarters least expected, and always ex-
cites the combative, without adequate
return. We thought this while reading
a violent attack in a good Republican
paper, upon the Democratic nominee for
Secretary of State. Had the author of
the article been assured of his facts, it
would have been more sensible to have
suppressed the charge. = + x
" As a soldier, we know that he was
brave man and efficient officer and it is
to the credit of our organization that,
recognizing these noble qualities, and dis
regarding his political errors, our Re-
publican administration gave him high
promotion"
The Press then copies the compliment
tary notices Of General LeFever from
Generals Crittenden and Rosecrans, that
we have already printed.

The Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

OLD BoGE was a miserly old fellow, who had
accumulated great wealth BY lifelong penu-
riousness. But even misers have to die some
time, and old Boge was at length called upon
10 pay that debt which all must pay, and
which is paid as easily by the man who hasu t
got cent as by the possessor Of millions.
Old Boge was sick unto death, finding a
partial recnmpense in his sufTerings from the
reflection that as he could not eat any thing
something was being saved. His physician
told him that his end was rapidly approach
ing. and as he felt within himself that he was
rapidly approaching his end it was evident to
Old Boge that he must meet his end very
soon.
q" How long have I to liver" asked old
Boge. in a faint voice.
"OnIv halt an hour said the physician
taking out his watch in business manner,
and added, lis there any one you would like
to send fora clergyman. for instanee?
Old Boge mused in lethargic way for a
moment; then starting up as with a sudden
thought raised his feeble hand and lelt Of his
emacinfed chin. upon which two weeks
growth Of grey and stubbed beard had grown
then whispered hurriedly-'quick-bring me
a harbe-."
The barber came with his kit, and old Boge
said in a voice that was rapidly growing
weaker:
"YOu-oharge-ten cents--to-shave-
live men ?"
"Yes, that is our price" replied the bar
Der.
"whal--yod charge--to shave-dead
men ?"
"One dollar" said the barber, wondering
what he ment.
"Then--shave--me- said old
Boge. nervouslv eyeing the watch which the
doctor held in his hand He was too weak
to sneak fnrther. but the doctor interpreted
Alright the question that was in his eyes.
Fifteen minutes" replied the doctor.
Old Boge made feeble motion as with a
laiher brush. and the barber was at his work
in a ilfrv. He performed his task with neat
ness and dispatch. and although The sick man
had several sinking spells of an alarming ma
lure, vet he bore up to the end. When the
last stroke Of the razor was given, old Boge
whispered in tones Of satisfaction: "That'll
o-ninety-cents saved; !" and Immediately
expired.

SARp1EEs.-The Lover Of little fishes billed
in lie, should know that the f sh which fur
nishes them with such delicious rspast, be-
longs to the herring family. The popular
name was given to it by Cnvier, the first to
assign it to a distinct place in the fnny tribe.
He called it sardina, from which It is known
as the sardine. Sardiaes are caught princip-
alp along the coast Of Brittany, and to less
extent in Portugal. The Fisheries employ a
large number Of men and women. The fish
ing vessels-generally eight or ten tons each
and carrying a crew of from six to ten, go
about two or three leagues from land 10 the
shoals of fish When they see them, they
spread their gill nets for them, and scatter on
the water the bait which has heen prepared
and consist Of the eggs and flesh Of fish, es-
neciaIIv Of cod and mackcTel. and sometimes
Of salted fish.
Large quantities of sardiEes are taken in
this wav. Some are sailed on board, others
are carried on shore. and either sold fresh. or
Drepared for shipment. For the latter pnr-
pose. they are salted and packed away in tin
cans with melted butter and olive oil, which
are poured upon them in an almost boiling
state, The cans are sealed up to prevent
the air reaching the fish, and are then ready
for shipment. The sales in Europe are very
great as the fish are there considered a great
delicacv, and large shipment are annually
made to America, where they are 10 less
estimated than in Europe.
