electricity in Sea Sickness.

Electricity bids fair to become the
modern panacea for all earthly ills.
The latest proposition is to apply it
to the relief of that chief misery OF
the traveler--sea sickness, DIR. lie
Coniar, Surgeon of the Imperial
French Navy, now serving as surge>
on of one of the steamers on the
French line between Brest and New
York, advances the theory that sea
sickness is induced by electric dis
turbance throughout the system, and
vomiting induced by an involuntary
contraction of thestomach from the
pyloric to the cardians orifice, there
by emptying that organ. He places
his patient in horizontal position,
uncevers the stomach, and applies TO
the skin over it an acid solution. He
then su bjects the moistened surface
to the action of a galvanic battery,
and the stomach receives the galvan.
ic stimulus as the paralyzed and
weakened muscles Of the body re-
ceive the electric current. The eff
feet justifies the theory, and is not
only local but pervades the whole
system. A soothing influence is
soon felt, gentle drowsiness fol-
lows, and refreshing sleep marks
the restoration of physical equilib>
rum. DIR. lie Coniar has been prae :
ticing and improving his new remedy
for three years. One or two minor
articles which be has written on the
subject have been published in the
French journals. He proposes to
publish a treatise on the subject for
the benefit Of science.

Daily Mail, writing from Louisville,

view with Mr. Prentice. He is not
the man he was ten years ago. In
deed his genius is gone, and bis per-
son is mere wreck His family is
broken up-wife dead, one son killed
on the Confederate side, another set
tied on q farm down the river-and
the old man, verging on three score
and ten, cooks his break fast and din
ner in his little room on the third
floor of the Courier building, aud
lives only in conversation, about the

Ssasouable HINTS.

Accumulate manure for your hot-
beds; fork 1t over frequently alo
get it througly Incorporated D.
not let it become dry or it will FIRE
fang. Early hotbeds should be star
ted now.
AS the ground opens, dig satisfy
parsnips, and horse radish for family
use.
Get your trush ready for your
peas, have it all sharpened and stack
ed conveniently so that there will be
no delay when wanted. 1t frequen>
tly happens by delaying, that when
The brush is needed, when the peas
are already beginning to fall down,
the teams are all at the pillow and
cannot be taken off; and half the
crop of peas is lost by delay. Just
SO with beans; provide your poles for
The Limas now; sharpen them and
have them all ready for use.
In your hotbeds you may SOW
seeds OF early cabbage, lettuce, rad
ish, tomato and egg plant and il
you will take the necessary trouble
and care in transplanting, put 10 a
few early beets. The Early Winnig
| stadt is one of the best cabbages for
early as well as general crop. For
lettuce put in the Curled SiIesian
for beets, the Early Bassano for to-
mato and egg plant, an article in a
late number of Rural will be good
guide.
Test old seed this month. Put
some cotton in a tumbler and satur
ate it thoroughly with water and put
| your seeds on top; set it on the man
tie in your warmest room.
Rbubarb may be forced by setting
a barrel open at both ends over the
hill. Put few shovels of horse ma
nure in the barrel, and also little
around it, banking it up few inche,
against the barrel. 1t will give it al
earlier start.
Care must be given to cold frames
Open and air them daily if the wealth
err continues open and mild.
Remove all litter, if not already
done, from the garden-such AS to-
mato vines, bean and pea haulm, cab.
bage stalks, &c. Put them in the
barn yard or pig pen to have then
worked over for fall use. Clean of
your asparagus bed and cover it will
an inch of sand, and little later
with two or three inches of ferment
ing manure.

the son whom she bore to the great

s@- Converts are decidedly unfash
lonable for the moment in England
The story told by nuns themselves in
open court, of their kissing the floor
every day for week together
wearing foul busters and carry ing
dirty boots on their heads keeping
on the rags; their unfit food; long
hours OF silence aud the rest-seem
so unlike he "heavenly life" that
there is nothing to catch the senti-
ment and much to revolt the better
instincts OF cultivated minds.
The experience, as described by it's
directors and not by Jealous Protes
tant propagandists, seems full Of pal
try details of little ebullitions OF
spite and jealousy and of course vi,
olatioDs of the domestic affections.
The Lord Chief Justice of England
and the barristers employed by the
convent party in the late case and
every person who heard the evidence
appear astonished at tho spectacle
1t IS said that the case has been con,
Quoted on both sides for nothing
The plaintiffs family announced, af,
ter day or two, that they could not
afford any more legal expenses, and
the convent processes to be supper,
ted by charity ; but the barristers en-
gagged decided to go on and lay the
whole thing bare. The Solicito,
General, who prosecuted, has broth

cou4sel has a sister, nun and these
learned gentlemen distinguished
themselves by their energy in ellie,
