C,RBOIJC ACID AND ITS VIRTUEs.-A
friend in Paris encloscs to us an article cut
from one Of the French papers Of that city
on the curative powers OF carbolic aclo,
(phenoD from which one would almost
think that a universal remedy had at last
been found. 1t begins by pointing cut the
danger of confusion between oc'de phe-
uique and phcnol-thc former Of which Is
u deadly poison, while the latter is quite
harmless. We translate:
"Phcnol is compound Of dc'de phe-
niquc and soda Each Of these two sub
stances is poisonous in the highest degree,
but their union constitutes Il salt enjoying
all the bcneticcnt properties which picnic
acid possesses theoretically, without having
any of the injurious properties which prac-
tically should exclude it from all mcdica
ton. 1t is to an analogous constitution
that sulphate of quinine owes its virtues,
while sui phuric acid and quininc cannot be
separately employed"
After reciing a number Of rapid cures OF
serious wounds, burns, &C., by the use OF
carbolic acid (pheno0, and the value Of the
same agent Us disinfectant on ship-hoard,
in the sick room, and wherever cpidcmicS
arc feared, some of its uses for agricultural
purposes are referred 10. It has been found
TO clear out lice in poultry-for which 6
remedy has been so often askcd-vcry eff
fectually, for which purpose the poultry
house is washed with dilution Of it, the
straw in the nests dipped in the same, and
a little put into the water from which the
fowls drink. Those who first tested it in
this way, were led to try ii for diseases and
hurts Of stock, such as ulcers, eruptions,
crack, Guittor, itch, mango, cattle typhus,
and so on-and, as we are told, with the
greatest possible success. 1t is for the
merits it is said topossess in these respects
that we bring the subject to the notice OF
our readers.
These merits arc said TO be owing-frst,
to the fact that it so promptly closes (ticS
up) and consolidates (soider%) the pores,
and thus interccpts the action of the air
as effectively as can be done by collodion :;
and, second, to its power Of killing ut once
all iufusoria, animalculcs, insects, etc, (thc
causes or consequences of so many mala
dies) and of thus stopping or preventing
fermentation, putrefaction, or decomrosi
ton. at neutraizcs and cures immcdi
ately the stings and vcnomous bites of in
sects, reptiles, OF animals, (wasps, bees,
gnats, vipers, dogs, leechcs, &c.) 1t stops
all hcmorrhages, even the most abundant.
1t cures wounds promptly and without in
tiammation or suppuration (unless some
foreign substance remains in the wOund)."
Lastly, and for a French recommendation
perhaps essentially for the 6cldt Of the
whole, it is indispensable for the toilet
tuJle,'' being the best of all dentriices,
and "replacing advantageously all the cs-
scnces, vinagers, ETC., in vogue. Country

DRINKING WHILE EATISG.-A recent con-
tr;butor to the Herald Of Health considers
Tho practice of drinking during meals IN
Injurious one, and argues his cause thus:
Whoever. contrary to his usual CUSTOM,
will turn down his glass at the beginning
If meal, and not make use of It TIL the
close, may perceive that great many con-
sequences flow from so simple an action
In the first place, the only ard to mas''ca-
ion and dcglutition, apart IRON the ,cc,n
and tongue, will be the saliva, OF which,
from long disuse, there probably VIII ho'
he the desired abundance. The time occu-
nicd in disposing of mouthful OF food VIII
.hus be prolonged, and the character OF the
food make greater impression on the pa
late.
The stomach will not be treated to cata-
roct OF half-drowncd morsels, but at proper
intervals to wcll-prcpared material Tor
digestion. There will be no haste, no ooi'-
;nr the tendency to stuff and overload the
.tonoch will be checked or fairly over
comc-at least there will be leisure to con-
slider whether one is eating too much. It's
needless TO add that these changes would be
in the interest OF good breeding at the ia
bic. there being few things more repulSive
.han the sight OF a person who darts at his
food, gulps it down in an instant, and, be-
fore il is fairly deposited in his mouth, has
caught up more with which to pursue it.
4 little reflection will convince us how
narrow must have been the distribution OF
animal life on this globe if the habit OF
which I complain had been provision OF
nature for elephants, bufialocs, girafles, all
the deer kind, the birds, and even the beasts
Of prev. The crocodile and the hippopota-
mus would have been cnviablc to all their
unamphibious brethren, while the area
devoid Of lakes or streams would have been
40 deserted that man could with dllhculty
have settled upon it in his savage state: As
it is, the herds which roam the trackless
wilds of Africa are content to Stake TIER
thirst at the close of the day, after wan
dcrins of many miles away from the toun-
tain, and tedious return to its lite-givlng
waters. Their enemy, the hunter, is forml-
dable according TO his powers Of endurance
against thirst in the desert.

They were married at once, hut after the

trick and nut his new son-in-lnw out OF the

plavcd an excellent game of draw-poker
and in two years made money enough 70
ret ont of the service. He then returned
n LYONS and offered to live with Pauline.
The old man said that he would consider
his case. that two more men had proposed
IN his absence. and that the chap that had
tho most money should take the girl.
Claude fell short by several thousand
aoIlors. and was in consequence ordered tc
keep out Of the way. -,
Pauline married one Of the other fellows

divorce is without foundation) and Claude
took to cornac so enthusiastically that he
fell off one Of the Rhrinc bridges on GER.

made twenty-five dollars by holding an in
quest on his body. ;,
Pauline was happy, as women usually
arc. in her second marriage, for her hus-
band paid all her bills without grumbling;
She had several children, grew fat and
frowsy, and died at last of chronic and

The True Version of the Lady Of
Lyons
kY MARK TWAIN.


LYONS has always been associated III my
mind to the sentimental lady TO whom Bull
wcr introduced lis many years ago. l
looked for her all along the Rhine, and
could moi discover her. Nnyr ] had de-
SPARED of getting at the facts in the case, L
heard of a man who knew them. Having
long entertained a suspicion that the story
had not been rightly told, l solicited an in
tcrview, contrary to my custom, and had
the tale from his lips. He said Pauline
was not interesting nor romantic. lie
thanked me for the interest had shown i'll
the sentimental history, and favored me
with these proSaic details:
Claude Melnotte was in truth gardeners
son. who fell in love with Pauline while she
was buying radishes of him one morning
when her father, having been drunk the
night before, refused to purchase the
household necessaries, as was his custom.
Claude was rather susceptible, and sold her
the radishes at half price, on account Of
her pretty face, as he said, which pleased
her, and so delighted her practical parent.
when he heard it, that he insisted on her
going to market every morning. She did
not like to do it; but papa being obdnratc,
she obeyed. Claude finally became so i'll
terested that he gave her radishes for no.
thing, and even went so far as to purchase
mutton and cornbeef, presenting them in
the name OF love.
Her mercantile papa was in ecstacies with
Claude, declaring him very generous per-
son, who ought to be encouraged. He de-
mandcd that Pauline should take every
thing that was given gratis. Pauline be-
came the regular market-goer for the fami-
", and ut last Claude told her that he would
like to marry her if the old gentleman would
come down handsomely. She felt atfronted
and informed the elder Deschappclles, who,
living only in money, inquired into Claude's
circumstances, and found that he had not
returned any revenue to the assessor Tor
several years He then called on the sen-
timental youth and threatened to take away
his license.
Claude got mad and brought suit for the
things he had given Pauline. He failed to
get judgment, and, resolving ON revenge,
induced one Of Dcschappelles' clerks, VINO
had been refused by his lady, to introduce
him as a wealthy chap that cared no more
for thousand dollars than A. 7. Stewart
for ten cents.
Old Deschappelles was taken in and so
was Pauline; for Claude dyed his whiskers
and put on new wig to WOO her in. She
did not care how he looked or talked; for
the old man having gotten hard up, couldn't
pay her bills and she was bound TO have u
wealthy husband. When Claude proposed
