DEATH OF SIR FREDERICK BRUoE.-Elsewhere
we announce the sudden death of Sir Frede-
rick W. A. Bruce, Envoy Extraordinary to
the United States. The Baronet has for
four years represented his Court in this
country, where he succeeded Lord Lyons. He
was an able and experienced diplomat, and
was exceedingly popular with his fellow
ministers. His course at Washington has
given general satisfaction to the United States
Government.

of his Office to the ''slimy things" whom we
spurned from beneath our feet for the

In the first table the Democracy claim, for
the States we have given above, gain of 49, 900
votes. We show, by actual returns that cannot
be disputed, that their entire gain is only two
thousand, or not quite one per cent. All this
shameless growing over pretended gains is
done to affect the result in Pennsylvania aud
Ohio but they must be very tame birds which
can be caught with such chaff

Bill simpsons Legal Experience.

Many years ago the Legislature Of
county of McNairy, alias Snake. AT
that time the county embraced in the
limits of Snake, was occupied by stur-
dy set of backwoodsmen, totally unac-
quainted with courts, jails, etc. The
county assembled at the appointed site
for the purpose of cutting logs, making
boards, ETC., to build court house and
jail. The only theme of daily conversa-
ton, when the men we're assempled, was
the court, etc. None of them had ever
seen a court in session, as yet developed.
Each one would give what his idea of a
court was, etc.
None, however, were entirely satisfac-
tory, until Bill Simpson was called upon
to give his ideas. He said he knew all
about q court-that he had had lawsuit
in North Carolina. One of his neigh
boris hogs kept coming when he fed his
hogs, until it got fat. One morning he
got so d-d mad that he shot the hog
He thought it would not do to throw il
away, so he cleaned and salted it. Shortly
after, his peighbsr and man came to
his house, examined the smokehouse,
and took him to town and put him
in a little office. About threo
months after that, this mau oame and
took him up TO a large room. A large
man sat upon high bench-a man was
sitting at a desk-about a dozen fine
dressed men sat in a place that was
paled around. The man put me in a
pen just behind them.
he then called in twelve men; they
took seats in box in front of the fine
dressed men. The man that was writing
gave the twelve men a houk aud said
something about Hill Simpson and State
Then one of the fine men read some
thing about Bill Simpson and the hog,
and be and another of the fine dressed
men had the biggest quarrel you ever
heard. / thought they would fight every
minute, but they didn't It was Bill
Simpson and the hng, aud the hog and
Bill Simpson, and sometimes Mr.. Simp.
son, bu: d-d seldom. After they had
quit quarreling, the big man talked
a while 10 the tWslye men, and they went
out and staid O short time, and came
back and said something to the man at
the desk. The man on the bench said
something 10 the man that put me in
Office, and he took me out and tied me to
a persimmon tree and commenced tight
ing me with a cowhide, and it made me

very wisely. discourages the Southern
passion for emigration as follows:
To those who search abroad for the
liberty, happiness or sustenance they
deem impossible at home, we wish God
speed For the industrious, hopeful and
courageous who prefer, or are compelled
to cling to their country, we have ineffa-
BILE sympathy. Both have rugged paths
to travel, and to both, we trust, noble
destiny will be given. We are asked in
what respect can the prospect be more
gloomy abroad than at home. Isolation,
separation from friends, uncertainty,
lack of sympathy-these are some argu-
ments for the wanderers reflection. Fa-
naticism cannot last forever. Reaction
is bound to eventuate. The Radical
party per force go the full length of an
archy, or die; and the end of anarchy is

MEMPHIS TENNESSEE THURSDAY EVENING JANUARY 81. 1867

PEELED TO accept skeleton for q neigh
Dor. A very charming and accomplished
young lady, the wife of Ernest Won Tes-
chenberg, the editor Of the Weiner Zei-
tung, was leaving the supper room with
her husband, intending to return home.
While crossing the ballroom, where
brilliant waltz was being played,a friend
asked her 10 take single turn round
the room. The temptation was too great
TO be resisted, so consigning her burROuS
to her husband, she Joined the dancers
and was whirled off with great rapldity
by her partner. She lad scarcely got
half round the huge circle when she fell
from his arms, as though struck by a
thunderbolt, dead. They raised her from
the ground gently, and carried her into
smother room. A dozen doctors were in
attendance, and every expedient that
science could suggest was tried to re-
store consciousness to the fair young form
lying so strangely still in its gay toilette
All was in vain. She was dead. A smile
upon her lips flowers in her hair. 0fthe
scene / cannot convey an idea; such agony
as that ! witnessed on Sunday morning

rooms---the first two we're, if possible,
even more terrible than the last. In the
first case, lovely girl was shot through
the heart by the man she was engaged to

burnt to death before her garments, which

past the open fire place, could be torn

Treatment Of Wounds by Ventilation.

This consists, in fact, in leaving small
wounds exposed to the air, and in act
ing on large ones by means of the do
mestic bellows, for period varying from
five to twenty minutes every two, three
or four hours, according to the amount
of discharge and moisture that may be
present The object is to secure the
formation of a crust over the surface of
the wounds, under which healing takes
place far more rapidly than when the
surface is not so protected and hence
the application of the air must be sufii-
ciently frequent and prolonged to keep
up this crust of q certain thick
ness. When the crust is hard,
however, it must be displaced and
another formed, and when the
discharge is very abundant the acoholic
dressings, now so much in vogue in the
Paris hospitals, should, for while, pre-
cede the ventilation. The influence Of
this last in improving the condition of
the wound is almost immediate, dis
position to cicatrize and diminution of
the discharge soon being apparent In
burns of the second and third degrees,
which assume the appearance of simple
denuded wound, ventilation may advol-
tageously supersede cotton and other
impermeabe applications. This treat
ment is not suited to deep or penetrating
wounds.
Among the secondary advantages of
the treatment by ventilation, originating
with NJ. Boisson, may be mentioned its
simplicity, its easy applicability by the
patient or his friends, its economy and
its cleanliness. 1t substitutes dry for
a moist surface, diminishes the chance
of putrid decomposition and of infection
of the surrounding atmosphere.
