EXPLORING TIE ETIBER.-Exploration arc the
order Of the day. The buried cities of Italy
the Dead Sea and Jerusalem are being strd-
led in this way, and now, as one of the first
results Of the Pope's deposition from his sem-
poral sovereignty, we are to witness an ex-
ploration Of the bed of the Tiber. The Ro-
mans, who now, it is said, for the first time
since Constantine, feel as if the great city
were indeed their own, have an almost
boundless, yet not an exaggerated, idea of the
artistic, archaeological, and other treasures
buried under the yellow sands which the
river has accumulated on the spot for the
last 5000 years. Thither went the statues

\ case in point. In this city of bOb-tail rail-
roads and thrifty manufactures, there
dwells one George NJ. an irritable Teu-
ton, the proprietor Of 'beer place on Main
street, whose favoritc expression is tam live
ly. Not long since, Georges wife. burly
matron, who assists in the management Of
the aforesaid 'beer place and is equally irri-
table, directed her licge lord to buy some
good cheese for saloon consumption. Pro
ceeding 10 S.ewart's grocery, on Limestone
street. George hailed the proprietor theref
with, SHIN you got some tam lively sheese
wot is better?'
Yes We have some lively cheese. low

We'll, | suppose dake a couble pounds.
Having paid for the cheese. George carried
it home and gave it to his wife. In attempt
ing 10 dispense some Of It 10 a hungry Gus
toner. she discovered that it contained squat
tiers without number, and having horror of
skippe-s, she yelled Boogs och, mine

NEw PREVENTIVE OF EPIDExIcs.-L. 4.
Hardee, of Florida, advances his theory of con-.
cussions as means of preventing epidemics.
MI haIdee believes that yellow fever and chol-
era is caused By animalcul.e, and that eoncus-
sion will destroy them. He says:
propose, if means be furnished me, to ar
rest the yellow fever nov raging in Charleston
Will rlsk my own life and not charge for my
personal services, and pledge my reputation for
this discovery, that will effectualy arrest this
fell destroyer within ten days from the first
combustion.
For the city of Charleston, l would use one
ton Of gunpowder every night for twelve con-
secutive nights would commence at o O'Clock
P. m. using FIVE pounds for every combustion.
would order the windows of every house in the
city closed, and | would use small quantities Of
powder in every room and cellar in the city.
would order heavy conclusions in every damp
lane or avenue in the city, and IN fact | would
hunt out the places most likely to be infested
with animalcules, and st the end Of ten days |
would AJAX the physicians 10 report the health Of
the city. / think they would report not a single
case Of any description of fever in the city, and
that it would he ss healthy as the mountains.
If Mr.. Hardee burns powder enough We have
no doubt that yellow fever will disappear from
Charleston, and the city with it. lie should get
