REMEDY FOR THE PILES.

A well known clergyman writes to
the Maine Farmer that, after trying
every "sure remedy" recommended for
this disease with no good results, and
expecting that nothing but the grave
would cure him, he was induced to take
one teaspoonful Of sulphur, mixed with
one-third cup full Of new milk. "This,''
he says was months ago, and from two
to SIX applications, one every other day,
have done me more good than all other
remedies combined, if indeed, am not
wholly cured Of that terrible infrmity.''

THE New York World says the recent
action of the Memphis and New Orleans
Commercial Conventions has turned
public attention strongly in the direction
of the Southern Pacific railroad. In this
connection, it learns that arrangements
have been made to push forward the
building of tho Memphis, E! Paso and
Pacific railroad during the present suns
mer, in the anticipation of aid from Con
gress at the coming season. Engineering
parties have been placed in the field
along the line of the road, and strong
force of laborers collected for the grading
at various points. The company has de,
cided to use heavy iron ard powerful
engines, in order that the highest rate of
speed, with safety and regularity, can be
obtained, so as to place Norfolk, Virginia,
and San Diego five days apart. The iron
for the section of one hundred and fifty
miles from efferson westward will be
shipped from Dunkirk and Antwerp
during the monts of June, July and Au-
gust, and it is expected that one hundred

Royal Highness the Prince OF
Wales, the other His Majesty
the King of Denmark. Such
a future as that which lay be-
fore this handsome, clever, fas-
cinating young diplomatist,
says an English paper, any man
might have envied. Suddenly,
however, he was missed from
society, club, house, and opera.
Where he had gone no one could
tell. Even his constituents
at Stirling were unable to get
any accurate information con-
corning him, and as he made
no appearance at the recent
election, another man was chos-
en- in his place. He has at last
been discovered, however, in a
semi-religious, semi-socialistic
community at Brocton, on the
borders of Lake Erie, where
the once idolized star of Bel
gravia now follows the pillow
and wears the homespun.

Admiral Blake.

In an Elizabethah house in
Mill street, Bridgewater, Eng,
the great Admiral Blake was
born. His father was a mer-
chant, his mother the co-heir-
ess of a knightly family. A
blunt, bold, honest man, he
distinguished himself during
the civil wars 1.-THE head of his
troop of horse, surprising Taun-
ton, and defending it desperate
ly during two sieges. His SER
vices to the Parliament were
of the most splendid kind ; he
destroyed the Royalist fleet,
took the channel Islands, and
beat the Dutch from the narrow
seas. He bullied the Bey of
Tunis, and with incredible dar-
ing sailed into the Bay of Ten
eriffe and burnt some Spanish
galleons which he could not
carry off. He died on his re-
turn home, just as he was en-
tering Plymouth Sound. Blake
did not commence his naval ca
reer till he was fifty years of
age, yet he became one of the
greatest admirals. Clarendon
says he became one of the first
who disdained to keep his ship
and men out of danger, and to
teach sailors to despise land
forts, which he proved to be
more noisy than dangerous
When people expressed their
scruples about serving Crom-
well, Blake said nobly-

A Kerosene Oil Experiment

A singular discovery is re-
ported to have been made at
Cincinnati. A man upset his
kerosene lantern into his meal
bin, and he noticed afterward
that his hogs ate the damaged
food with advidity. This gave
him an idea, and by expert
ment he found that five weeks
feeding with the kerosene mix
ture made one of his hogs so
fat that he could scarcely stand.
The animal was then tried into
lard with the following result
When cool the lard did not
Icongeal, but the addition of a
certain amount of potash re-
solved the contents Of the ket-
tie into three distinct substan-
ces-the first, a light, transpa-
rent oil, better than kerosene
or sperm oil 4; the second, a jel-
ly like substance which turned
to soap ; and last, a small resi-
dunn of insoluble muscle. This
is not the same man who gave
his hens boiling water to drink,
so they would lay boiled eggs.

A Faithful Student /.

The following incident in the
life of Carl Schurz, just elected
y. States Senator from Missou-
ri, will be read with interest.
It is thus related by a cores
pendent
In 1867 I was told an Incl
dent in the life of Carl Schurz,
which was very interesting. 1t
is so long since ! heard it, that
I may be very incorrect in some
particulars, but I will relate
what I remember oft Schurz,
in his fatherland, was the stu
dent of a celebrated philoso-
pher, political thinker and wri-
ter. During the revolutionary
troubles in Germany, both the
professor and his pupil were
taken prisoners, but Schurz
soon after effected his escape
and fled to Italy. The demo-
cratic cause failed in Germany,
but Kinkel was still prisoner.
Schurz in his exile determined
to attempt the liberation of his
teacher. He acquired q per-
feet knowledge OF the Italian
language, and adopting the
Italian costume and manners,
procured a hand organ and
poceeded on his tour among the
German prisons, to find out, if
happily he could, the wherea
bouts of Kinkel. There was a
certain song, which in the old
en- time always charmed the
professor, and ever drew from
him some response. This song,
among others, Schurz sang in
his prison visitations. Finally
he arrived at the prison where
Kinkel was confined, and when
he sang this song, to the great
delight Of the jailor and guards,
the listening Kinkel knew the
presence Of a friend and broke
into the joyful song, his voice
passing beyong the confines of
his solitary cell and gladdening
the heart of his itinerant pupil.
Schurz lowered around the pri-
son, delighted the employers by
his minstrelsy, and finally eff
fected the escape of his teacher.
Both reached a seaport, where
they engaged on an English
vessel as coal beavers, and fl
nally reached England in safe

OLIVES AND SILK

Some very short time ago
there were in Georgia, unnotic-
ed and unknown, a highly in
telligent and eminent gentle
man of Milan, holding official
relations with the Italian Gov
eminent. He had travelled
over most of the South, on a
tour Of observation, having for
it's purpose the selection of a
point in the South best adapt
ed, by soil and climate, to the
silk culture, with a view to the
transfer of a large body of i'm
migrants from Lombardy. He
had been over almost the entire
cotton region, meeting with ia
vorable conditions at various
points, but a stronger combina-
ton of themin Middle Georgia.
Here he found the best condi-
tions of climate for the worm,
and of soil for the production of
the mulberry, upon which it
feeds.
Middle Georgia is also an
olive-producing climate. We
know one olive tree in Macon
twenty-five years old, and in
fine, healthy condition. There
are others younger, and the
olive could be produced in any
quantity. The object Of this
movement is two-told. The
one is to find an outlet to n
redundant population. Lom-
hardy, on an area of six thous-
and two hundred and seventy
square miles, mountainous in
parts, contained, in 1859, a
population of over three mill
lions, or four hundred and
eighty to the square mile.
Georgia has about sixteen peo-
pie to square mile. Lombar
dy is the most crowded and the
most productive part of Eerope.
The people are said to resem-
BILE the English in appear
ance and habits, and they are
at the head of the column in
industry and thrift. This lit
tie state of italy produces an
uually silk to the value of fif-
teen millions worth of cheese,
thirty-three millions gallons
wine; three hundred thousand
bushels wheat, besides rice,
corn, potatoes, and live stock
in great quantities.

A Freak of Genius.

The freaks of genius are often
as unaccountable as they are
extraordinary: and the most
singular one we have met with
for a long time is that man
named Laurence Oliphant, who
a few years ago went to Eng
land as the Secretary of the
japanese mission, where he
made a deep impression on the
fashionable and political world
by his brilliant talents. He
was comparatively unknown,
but in a few months took all
hearts by storm. He obtained
a seat in Parliament, moved in
the highest circle of society and
" was the universal favorite of
me ene world of fashion. He was
once seen sauntering into the
travellers Club with two men

vent foreigners fooling US

vent foreigners toollng us.
His most desperate actionwas
off the Goodwin Sands, when
he bore down on Van Tromp's
eighty vessels with only forty
men of war, but was beaten off,
losing six ships. Van Tromp
then sailed through the chan
mel proudly, with a broom at
his masthead to show that he
had swept the English from the
seas. Blake, however, was no
man to bear this; three months
after, he swooped at Dutch
convoy Of merchantmen of 80
vessels, and captured III men
of war and 30 merchantmen-a
glorious prize. Blake was as
honest as he was brave, and at
ter all the galleons and plate
vessels he had taken did not
leave five hundred pounds be-
hind him. The Royalists cast
Blake's bones out of Westmin~
ster Abbey, but they could not
erase his name from history.

Days Without Rights.

Nothing strikes q stranger
more forcibly, if he visits Swe-
den at the season of the year
when the days are longest, than
the absence Of the night. DR..
Baird relates some interesting
facts. He arrived at Stock
holm from Gottenburgh, four
hundred miles distant, in the
morning, and in the afternoon
Went to see some friends. He
returned about midnight, when
it was as light as it is in Eng
land half an hour before sun
set. You could see distinctly,
but all was quiet in the streets,
it seemed as if the inhabitants
had gone away or were dead.
The sun in June goes down in
Stockholm a little before ten
o'clock. There is a great illu-
mlnation all night, as the sun
passes round the earth toward
the north pole; and the refrac-
ton of its rays is such that you
can see to read at midnight
witlIeut any arr1f1clal light.
The first morning DR.. Baird
awoke in Stockholm he was sur
prised to see the sun shining in
his room. He looked at his
watch and found it was only
three o'clock. The next time
he awoke it was five o'clock, but
there were persons in the street.
The Swedes in the city are
not very industrious. There is
a mountain at the head of Be-
thinia, where on the 2Ist of
June the sun does not appear
to go down at all. The steam
boat goes up from Stockholm
for the purpose of conveying
those who are curious to witness
the phenomenon. 1t occurs
only one night. The sun
reaches the horizon, you can see
the whole face of it, and in five
minutes more it begins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude
seventy-two degrees, the sun
does not go down for several
weeks. In June it would be
about twenty-five degrees above
the horizon at midnight In the
winter time the sun disappears
and is not seen for weeks; then
it comes and remains for ten,
fifteen, or twenty minutes, af-
ter which it descends, and f.
nally does not set at all, but
makes almost a circle around
the heavens. DR.. Raifd was
asked how they managed in
those ATTITUDES with hired per-
sons, and what they considered
a day. He replied that they
worked by the hour, and twelve
hours would be considered a
days work. Birds and ami
mails take their accustomed rest
at the usual hour, whether the
sun goes down or not.

OLD CLOTHES.

I've threadbare coat and napless hat,
And somewhat empty purse:
But Pm just as merry for all of that,
For poverty brings no curse.
I've the best of health and great warn
heart,
And spirits as light as air,
And have willing hands that can do my
part
In this world of toll and care.
Labor with me is never task;
For, had | nothing to do
But in the rays of the sunshine to bask,
should grow weary and blue.
My sinewy arms were made for the toll
Laid out in life to be done;
There's work in the shop and work on the
Enough for each toiling one.
I'H go to work with resolute will,
And leave others to lag or sleep;
And, when Pm on the top OF life's hill,
A rich harvest shall reap.
But the memory of my tattered clothes
Shall forever sacred be;
They lightened my labors, and cheered my
woes,
And were lasting friends to me. n. III.
