A ROMANCE OF THE RoTHsCHILDs.-Th
very uppermost circles of society in London
are agitated by the report of che imminence
of an extremely unusual and startling event.
A daughter of the Rothschilds is about to be
married to poor man-and this poor man
is a Christian! The young lady whe is thus
to break with the traditions of her family
and disregard the teachings of her religion is
the eldest daughter of Sir Anthony Roths-
child, and the man upon whom she is re-
solved to bestow her fortune and her heart
Is the Hon. Mr.. Yorke, a son of the earl of
Hardwicke. hasten to nip in the bud the
sympathy with which this news may be re-
ceived by members of the society for the
propagation of the gospel among the Jews by
adding that Miss Rothschild is not convert
ed," and that she is not going to embrace
Christianity nor to renounce her own relg-
ion. She will remain Jewess, and
her husband will continue to be at
least nominally a Christian. The
disapproval with which the aged and excel
lent baronet, her father, regards the match is
said to be increased by his failure to discover
IA his prospective beau-fls any qualities eth
er OF head or heart which could justify or ev-
en- excuse what he regards as his daughters
infatuation, but then it must be remembered
that he is not in love with Mr.. Yorke, and
that his daughter is, and this makes all the
difference in the world. The Rothschilds
have long formed sort of royal family of
their own-intermarrying only with their
cousins-and it is said that every possible
! means of persuasion has been brought to bear
in vain upon this young lady to induce her to
abandon her resolve. The reluctant consent
of her father. or rather the Withholding of his
positive prohibition of the marriage, has at
last been obtained, and the marriage it is said,
will soon be ceebrated.-London Letter to

ORIGIN OF THE MosoUrro.-Thism marshy
country is the paradise of mosquitoes, which
revel here in greater SIZE, numbers and pene-
trativeness than even upon the salt marshes
OF the Hackensack in New Jersey; and yet
why should they not, since this is their native
land? Perhaps you are ignorant as to this
part of natural history-I mean the origin of
these annoying though musical insects. l
win enlighten you by the Yeritable tradition
of the Indians, derived from an Onondaga,
who most reigiously believed the legend and
communicated it to me only as great mys-
cry.
There were, in times of old, many hundred
moons ago, two huge feathered monsters per-
mitted by the Manitou to descend from the
sky and light upon the banks of the Seneca
river, at Montezuma. Their form was exactly
that of mosquito, and they were so LARGE
that they darkNed the sun like a clond
Standing upon either bank of the river thew
guarded the river, and stretching their long
necks into the canoes of the Indians as they
attempted to paddle along the stream, COB
bled them up as the stork-king in the fable
did the frogs. The destruction of life was
great, for the embargo was so strictly en-
forced that not an Indian could pass without
being devoured in the attempt. 1t was long
before the monsters could be extermlnated,
and then only by the combined eforts OF all
the warriors of the Cayuga and Onondaga
nations of Indians. The battle was terrible

A Small POX Remedy.

The following statement of correspondent
of the Stockton (Cal.) Herald has been going
the rounds of the papers. An ex-Californan
says he has seen it tested with entire success.
We reproduce it, therefore, for what it is
worth:
herewith append recipe which has been
used, to my knowledge, in hundreds of cases.
1t will prevent or cure the small pox though
the pittings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered COW pox in England the world of sci
ence hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head; but when the most scientific school of
medicine in the world-that of Paris-pub
lished this recipe as a panacea for small pox,
it passed unheeded. 1t is as unfailng as fate,
and conquers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by a well person. 1t will
also cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as
L have used it and cured my children of the
scarlet fever; here it is as / have used it to
cure small pox; when learned physicians said
the patient must die, 1t cured: Sulphate OF
zinc, one grain; foxglove, (digitaLs,) one
grain: half a teaspoonful of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonfuls of water. When. thorough
ly mixed add four ounces of water. Take a
spoonful every horr. Either disease will dis
appear in twelve hours. For child, smaller
doses, according to age. If counties would
compel their physicians to use this there
would be no need pest houses. If you value
advice and experience, use this for that terri
