POISONED ARRows.-A writer in Har-
per's Magazine tells how the Indians
poison their arrows
a rattlesnake is penned. He is made
angry by being poked with sticks, when
a piece of deer's liver is held towards
him on the end of a stick. Into this he
strikes his fangs. The liver is then with
drawn, and a piece of dogwood about
four inches long and carefully sharpened,
is thrust into the i%neision made oy the
fangs. The stick is permitted to dry for
a short time, when it is dipped into a
glutinous solution, which, drying, hermet-
ically seals the poison which would other
wise decompOse. This piece Of dogwOod
is used as the head of the arrow. To be
wounded with such an arrow is almost
certain death.

LAMP ExPLosIoN.-A merchant, do
ing business on Water street, a few even
ings ago, thought to adopt the plan of
some Of his brother merchants, to burn a
light all night, to the great disadvantage
of persons burglariously inclined. Not
having any gas, he procured a large ker-
Osene lamp, which he filed with oil.
In the morning, no light was to be
found. and it was at first thought that the
burglars had come and carried away the
lamp as a proof of their clevcrness. On
inspection, however, it was found that the
lamp had exploded, the oil had run down
saturating the packing box, and the floor
was we'll oiled with kerosene. The top
of the lamp had blown out, and the only
wonder is that the building did not catch

THE VALUE OF ADvERTIsINa,-The
sale of q valuable article is always depend
ent on the extent to which it is known,
and the most brilliant examples of sue
cess in business arc those afforded by men
who have taken advantage of that fact.
We we're foreibly struck with this fact a
day or two since on hearing of the pres
emit immense and increasing sale Of a
standard article, which for twenty years
has been known and esteemed by only a
few. A gentleman acquainted with its
merits. convinced that to secure a widely
patronage, aud at the same time to secure
benefits on suffering humanity, it only
needed to be known, secured an interest
in the article some eighteen months ago,
aud advertised it in a number of papers
and periodicals. The result was beyond
his most sanguine expectations. Who
ever read, bought, aud what was better,
whoever bought acknowledged the ex-
c~ellence of the article and warmly rec
commended it to their friends. A
good thing onco fairly set %afloat,
thus increases its reputation. From
a trade of a few hundred dollars n month
in 1865, the business has increased till
now the sales reach over $500, 600 dollars
a year, and are steadily increasing. And
the amount paid for advertising in some
1000 of the best newspapers, magazines,
and periodicals throughout the country,
reaches nearly half that sum. The arti-
Gle referred to is turner's Tic Doulour-
