proposal to open an avenue to II at the public
expense, Mr.. EeeLrsros denounces as thieving
project, and such. we are compelled to say, II
truly seems to be. But the mistake OF Mr.. Ea'
oLEsroS lies 10 atiributing it to Deacon SMITH
We assure him that it is not a! all the act OF the
good Deacon, but Of certain wicked partners who
have wormed themselves into his confidence,
and who use his name anI his pure reputation
TO cover up their own neiarious designs The
chief Of these partners is one s. Roaso REED,
an infidel in religion and a deceiver in practice.
We have no doubt that when Mr.. EGGLEsroS in
vestigates this subject thoroughly, he will find
that the wicked REsD, and not the good SMITH,
is the real speculator who has thus been seek
ing to defraud the public treasury Of Cincinnati.
We say this with more confidence because we
know that Deacon SnIrH is indeed good man,
who would never knowingly engage In anything
wrong, but whose great kindness Of heart only
renders him the more liable 10 be imposed upon
and used by such cunning designers as RI. D aud
his other depraved business associates. Let Mr..
EGGLEsroS direct all his attention against the
bad, but let him not confound the just with
them. Let him denounce REED and the rest, but
let him have only words Of kindness and pity for
the good Deacon SplrH.

system has broken down altogether, and she is
no longer able to attend either to the business or
TO the ceremonies Of her Office Her physicians
have ordered her to leave London for Scotland.
aud on her way there she was unable to pay any
attention TO the popular demonstrations in the
towns through which she passed. As she be-
longs TO family several Of whose members have

Bleeding at the Nose.

Some two years ago while going down
Broadway, in New York, blood com
menced running from my nose quite free
ly. Istepped aside and applied my hand
kerchief, intending to repair to the near
est hotel, when a gentleman accosted me,
saying: "Just put piece of paper in
your mouth, chew it rapidly, and it will
stop your nose bleeding" Thanking him
rather doubtfully, l did as he suggested,
and the flow of blood ceased almost i'm.
mediately. l have seen the remedy tried
since quite freqently, and always with
success.
Doubtless any substance would answer
the same purpose as paper, the stoppage
of the flow of blood being caused, no
doubt, by the rapid motion of the jaws,
and the counter action of the muscles and
arteries connecting the jaws and the nose.
Physicians say that placing small roll
of paper or muslin above the front teeth l.,
under the upper lip, and pressing hard
on the same, will arrest bleeding from the
nose-checking the passage Of blood
through the arteries leading through the
arteries leading through the nose

when again he was Mortified to hear from
the animal, to all appearances
"You are brute ~
The drayman was dumbfounded, and
trembled like an aspen leaf, and dropped
his whip as if stung by an adder. He
blessed himself, and was about falling on
his knees, when lie again heard:
