trade, while the auctioneers we're kept busy. The

thriving times, and everything remained quiet and
orderly until late in the afternoon. One OF two
very small rows, and an occasional exhibition Of
the effects of John Barleycorn, closed the days

BRITISH JUsTICF.-It has been CraveIv
asserted by a Russian author that whenever
Russian has his pocket picked in England
he IS always sentenced TO l t day. impIison-
ment, while the thief is allowed to % free
However absurd this assertion NAV seem.
there il. rat Least there NAV be. some ground
for it. Il is related that some years ago.
before the Criminal Justice Act came into
operation, the captain Of Russian mer-
chant vessel, while passing through Cheap
side, had his pocket picked and handkerchief
stolen. The supposed thief, lad, was ar
rested and taken before a magistrate. lie
was committed for trial, and the witness had
. be bound over to appear that day fort
night and give evidence. The form of re-
coguiEance Is to appear or forfeit flG0 to
the Queen. To this the Russian objected.
His vessel was 70 sail next day for Odessa
Her crew was on board, and by the terms of
his ChaTter-party he must sail. The magiS- |
trate had no choice. He could not Try, !
neither would he discharge the prisoner. !
The Rusaian must enter into the rccogni- |
zance or 60 70 prison. The latter alterra- |
tive he preferred, for then the owners Of the |
vessel would know he was not to blame &: !
and thus to prison he was sent. On the /
other hid. the friends OF tie prisoner, al |
lcging his innocence, went before a Judge |
at Chambers, and procured his liberation |
on bail. At the termination of the II DAYS
the s:ttings at the Central Criminal Court |
were held. The Russian Captain was
brought up in custody. The accused, for
letting his bail, did not appear, whereupon,
without explanation, the Rus was dis
charged after having suffered II days i'm

In the spring Of 1S49 was In charge of
one hundred men on shipboard. with the
cholera among the men. We had onions,
which number of the men ate freely.
Those who did so were soon attacked, and
nearly all died. AS soon as made this
discovery their use was forbidden. After
mature reflection came to the conclusion
that onions should never be eaten during
the prevalence of epidemics, for the reason
that they absorb the virus and communi-
cate the disease, and that the proper use
for them is sliced and placed in the sick
room, and replaced with fresh ones every
few hours

will extract the poison of snakes; this
personally know. Some kinds of mud
will do the same.
After maintaining the foregoing opinion
for eighteen years, have found the follow
ing well attested: Onions placed in the
room where there lie smallpox, will blister
and decompose with great rapidity not
only so, but will prevent the spread OF the
disease. I think as disinfectant they
have no equal, when properly used but
keep them out of the stomach.
If need be, the foregoing (Which have
greatly abbreviated) can be attested on
oath. Let us have all the facts bearing
upon the subject. VOC ss4

whereas newspaper correspondents used
to tell Us how Hooker, Sheridan, Hancock
and other Generals surpassed the Dutch
in Flanders when the shock of battle
came, no one ever coupled the first ex-
preston of profanity with General Grant.
The war chronicles used to describe how
he as Shiloh and other places rode impet-

set an example OF courage and bravery to
his troops, but none of them ever reported
him as resorting TO swearing to give force
to his orders and directions. The World

heard of General Grant being inside of a
church. He is a regular attendant. along
