A CURIOUS DIsCovERY.-A curious
and useful discovery has been made by
workman, who, some time ago, in
vanishing various metal pieces, scorch-
ed himself most dreadfnlly. In his ag-
ony, and without an instants reflection,
he thrust his injured hand into the. pot
containing the varnish, and Immediate
~ felt relieved as if by enchantment.
He repeated the operation for a day or
two, and in very short time his hand
was perfectly cured. This discovery
excited attention in his neighborhood ;
he treated many similar cases success
fully, and in September, 1868, he was
sent for to Metz, in order to cure the
men injured by the explosion of the
powder magazine. He is now in Par
is, having been sent for to try his var
nish on two patients in hospital, and
has succeeded so we'll that a sore that
had been reserved for comparison, ia
be treated with nitrate OF silver inthe
ordinary way, has been given up to
him to be managed in his way. y 'a'

TRADE WITH ST. LOUISA St. Louis
correspondent, writing to the Picayune,
thinks that New Orleans has rather got
the best Of that city in the contest for
the Red River trade. He thus writes i:
You have blocked us out of a profit
able trade which we fancied the past
year had secured us, and which these
said facilities were to make more than
sure. l refer to the Shreveport and
Red River trade. We have also fig
ured some for the Ouaclita River bust
ness. But we. find that New Orleans
has stepped in and retaken what she
formerly controlled. While we have
slept, your merchants have set firm
grip on the trade of those profitable
sections. It is about the time of year
for large orders from the South. We
depend q good deal upon Arkansas
and Louisiana, and have even some
hopes of Texas; but your merchants
appear to be. looking after the matter.
St. Louis had a golden opportunity,
while you We're still Frustrated by the
war, but she was slow to improve it,
and has now been forced to let go, in !,
trice, in business she has been "bill-
ing and cooling" for four years. In
view of the present status of affairs
there is more than the usual talk in St
Louis about building a railroad direct
to Shreveport via Little Rock. 'l,.,;

Irritable InVaHds.

Indigestion not only effects the physical
health, but the dispositions, and tempers of
its victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too,
in measure demoralized by his suffer
ings. He is subject to fits of irritation,
sullenness, or despair, as the case may be.
A preternatural 'sepsitiyeness which he
cannot control, leads him to misconstrue
the words and acts of those around him,
and his intercourse even with those near
est and dearest to him is not unfrequently
marked by exhibitions of testiness foreign
to his real nature. These are the mental
phenomena of the disease, for which the
! invalid cannot be justly held responsible,
but they OCCASION much household di.,-
comfort. 1t is to the interest of tue home
circle, it is essential to family harmony as

fcrer from a state not far removed from in.

which lends activity to their remedial
