Cutting Timber.

II posts or rails are needed for service
during the winter, the trees may be cut
now while in full leaf. Allowed to lie
as the trees are cut, the evaporation
from the leaves will drain the timber
nearly dry, when a short exposure after
wards will very etfectually season it.
The economy of using posts and rails
peeled is very great; the loose bark
retains moisture between it and the
wood, and the sap wood soon rots:
When peeled the sap wood dries, and
will last many years longer.

CHICAGO, August 15.-The Common
Council of this city last night confirmed
two 0: Mayor Mason's nominees fol
Bridewell Inspectors, Messrs. c. &
Hammond and LouisWapt, and rejected
the third, R. P. DerrickSon. The
council will again meet on Thursday
when an attempt will be made to con
firm the third Inspector.
An affray occurred last night on
board the schooner Thomas Parsons
between a sailor named Martin Peter
son, and Patrick McCarty, steward, in
which the former was fatally stabbed
The Chicago Times, in an editorial
this morning, takes strong ground
against Gen. Thomas Ewings new
financial proposition. 1t says the true
Democratic doctrine is we'll and briefly
expressed in the Vallandigham, Mont
gomery county platform of May Sth;
that it is the basis of all sound currer'
cy, and in favor OF paying the public
debt at the earliest practicable moment
consistent with moderate taxation. 1t
further SAYS, that The assumption that
if the proposed legel tender paper mon
ey is made convertible at the pleasure
of holders into three per cent. Govern.
ment bonds, there can be no danger OF
excessive initiation is contrary TO all
probability, and Mr. Ewing thinks that
the issue Of more paper would reduce
the rates OF interest charged by money
lenders to such an extent that invest
men,s in three per cent bonds would
be the best that could be made. That
is, he thinks initiation would stop ltseIf'
How can he think any such thing,
knowing, as he evidently does, that
initiation expands general prices, is a
mystery we cannot penetrate. lie must
knoy that expanding prices always
stimulates speculation, always creates
a strong demand for money for specuIa'
tive purposes, and therefore always
forces up the rates of interest. by
adopting Mr.. Ewings plans, and issuing
enough new legal tenders to pay, OH
the five twenties, impetus would be
given to speculation, which would
speedy bring to an end the ease which
has so long characterized the money
market, and produce a strlngency when
would double the present rates OF inter
est in a month, that is, provided the
enormous issue proposed should no,
destroy all confidence in currency, and
render it wholly worthless. Every ad
dition 10 the volume would hlghten the
effort and stimulate the demand. From
the history OF the French asslsnats and
Confederate currency we may learn
that the experiment would end IN q
grand explosion, involving the country
in ruin. The Democracy OF the uultet
States are familiar with the history o.
this sort OF financial empirlcism In
Europe and in this country, and they
are too well acquainted with the ma
ture and laws OF the country to assist
in consummating any such crazy ano
destructive monetary scheme as tha
which has found so warm and arttul ar

New Cattle Distemper.

A disease has recently appeared
among the cows OF Jackson county,
Mo, which has caused considerable
loss to stock raisers. The eyes alone
are attacked, and throw off water for
two weeks, at the end of which time a
film covers the eyeballs, aud completely
destroys the sight. The appetite is not
affected, nor is the general health OF
the animals in any way impaired
The cow-doctors OF Kansas City are
much exercised over the matter, and
have not as yet found either name for
the disease or remedy.

been taken. In this case death resulted
in seven and half hours, from one.
sixth of q grain of the alkaloid, showing
it to be one Of the most potent poisons
known. Four and halt months after
death, when the contents Of the stomach
were analysed, there were still unmis-
taxable evidences Of gelsemium."
DR.. Davis, of Parkersburg, West
Virginia, in Halls Journal OF Medical
Sciences for January, 1867" gives
another case of death from this poison.
He was called to see a young lawyer Of
Parkersburg, and supposed him to be
suffering from excessive dissipation; he
ordered him brandy, and went to drug
store for medicine. While at the drug
store he learned that his patient had
taken a tablespoonful OF the fluid ex-
tract OF gelsemium. On returning he
found the lawyer in a dying state, his
pupils widely dilated, breathing spas
modic, surface cold, pulse almost i'm.
perceptible, and entirely unconscious.
He died two and half hours after
taking the poison. The patient, the
physician says, was killed BY one-fiith
OF grain of gelsemium.
DR.. Williams in his article above al
luded to, notices these cases in order to
show how rapidly fatal is gelsemium
when given in excessive doses. The
balance of his valuable paper is de-
voted to the value Of the use OF the
medicine when taken in appropriate
doses, prescribed by regular physicians
who understend the condition and ca
pacity Of their patient.
