A SPECIFIC FOR SMALL-Pox.-The
Chicago Journal Of Commerce gives the
following specific remedy for smallpox;
a piece of nitre, the size of common
white been, crushed and taken in a tea
spoonful of cold water, and two or three
times repeated, if taken early in the first
stages Of the disease, will effect a speedy
cure.
Although We feel no alarm regarding
the spread of the disease in our town,
there can be no harm in knowing of an
effective remedy in case an emergency
should arise.

The annual leyee of the Uniyersalist
Society was held at Eagle Hotel hall on
the evening of the 10th inst. The result,
in dollars and cents, and in the number
of attendants, we are informed, was very
satisfactory.
The annual levee for the benefit of
Proctorsville Library and the branch of
the Fletcher Library, will be held on
the 18th inst. The programme for the
occasion is an inviting one.
In addition to the usual attractions,
we learn that H c. Robbins of Ludlow,
a graduate of Middlebury College in the
class of II, has consented to favor the
audience with select readings from Eng
lsh and American authors. We have
seen a letter from Prof. Kellogg, Mr.
Robbins former precept0r as an elO-
cutionist, which speaks in praiseworthy
terms of Mr. r. and his ability to rerSer
an author and entertain an audience.
OCCASIONAL.
Fisk AND BRATrLEBoRO.- The Spring
field Republican says: Now that Brat
tleboro, mistaking notoriety for distinc-
ton, has just gathered to itself, with all
the honors it had the power to bestow,
the mortal remains of the late Mr.. James
Fisk, Jr., it may be well to recall the
current story of the result of an appli-
cation to him, last summer, for aid in
putting a new fence around the burying
ground in which he now lies. No"
said he mot a (profane) cent-you don't
need fence there. Those that are in are
limo danger of breaking out, and those
that are out surely have no desire to
break in.

A Bill TO REGULATE COMMERCE
AMONG THE SEVERAL STATES. 2The i'm
portancc of the step takeIpby Mr.. Spen-
Ger, the Senator from Alabama, in the
bill which he submitted to the Senate en-
Monday, ITO regulate commerce among
the several States, cannot be very well
over-estimated 1t is the first great
movement in Congress to regulate the
railroads, canals and other highways by
the federal governments 1t was referred
to the Committee on Commerce. Let
us hope it will not remain there long.
and that a strong measure viii be re-
ported back to the Senate. The rail-
roads are the great arteries Of commerce
among the several States. and yet the
companies impose offensive tariffs and
do as they please, Independent Of the
federal government. 1t is time that
these vast monopolies were put under
proper restraint. and thai the people be
protected from exorbitant CHARGES to pay
dividends on watered stock and to fill
the Golfers Of few railroad magnates.

they not being in a condition. being dis
abled. to avail themselves Of the ordina-
~ homestead land law: that a bounty
be paid Of one hundred dollars to all
those who enlisted prior to the 23d Of
Septembr. 1853 or their widows, heirs or
their legal Representatives, deducting any
bounty that they may have already re-
ceived also that a bounty of eight and
one-third dollars a month be paid to
the soldiers who served during the war,

DROUGHT or MAUI-Under date of the 14th inst,
we learn that East Maui generally. and MakaBao in
particular, was suffering from the want of rain.
Vegetation is dried up and cattle roam long distances
in search Of subsistence. A new trouble has appeared,
which attacks and kills the young cane. Experience,
however, in the past has shown that a few brisk
showers of rain cures this blight. On the 11th,
Ulupalskua, (Makee's) was favored with cOpious
rains, while AIakawao remains dry.

LEPERs.-On Tuesday last, there we're sixteen
patients sent to Molokai. While the breaking up of
families and the isolating of so many seems to be a
hard alternative, experience teaches US that it is the
only one. There is q want of common prudence
displayed by the natives that almost sets at naught
the best directed efforts of our medical men, and a
recklessness displayed in the indulgence of animal
appetites that goes far toward eliminating that pity
that we are all ready to feel for all uufortunates; as
well as to totally extinguish any sympathy we may
have felt for those who desired to see the "Act to
Mitigate - repealed.

learn that on Tuesday night, a bright light was dis
covered on or near the summit of Mauna Loa, prob
ably at Mokuweoweo. On Wednesday morning, our
correspondent adds, cit must be something tres
mendOus, from the amount of fire." The Rev. Mn
Coan writes = = "AIl HilO was startled last
evening by the cry of fire Looking TO the summit
Of Mauna Loa We saw n gorgeous pillar of red light
standing upon the top of the mountain. and illumin-
ating all those heights. 1t is a grand eruption, but
from our point ef observation, we could see no evil
dence of a flow. We conclude that it is in the great
crater of Mokuweoweo. 1t is cloudy to-day, and the
mount is yelled. When we can get a view in the
day time we shall be able to determine its locality.

FROM Hno.-A correspondent under date of the
Sth inst. writes as follows:
Smallpox keeps away from us so far. but there
is a good deal of influenza, rather more severe than
usual. You have perhaps heard of the case of a
man blown to pieces by giant powder. He was
fshing-cast one charge into the water and left
others on the bank, with a piece of Lighted rag
whilst securing the fish. Happening to remember
that one charge had the fuse in he jumped ashore
and tried to rub the light out when an explosion
followed which blew off both his hands. destroyed
both eyes and otherwise tore and mangled the poor
fellow in a ~frightful manner. He is living yet, with
the miserable chance of ultimately surviving.

was there a more favorable year for growing cane,

CITY OF WOMEN. Mrs Leonowens, in
her lecture on Siam, tells the following ::
The central part of the city of Bangkok,
in Siam, is devoted exclusively to the resi-
dcnce of some nine thousand women.
among whom no man but the King NAV
enter. The inhabitants of this inner CITY
are the thousand women of the royal ha-
reai, and some eight thousand slaves. This
little world is ruled by women as maris-
trates who administer the laws of the king
dom. There io no appeal from their deci-
slons. Prisoners are arrested by sheriffs
of their own sex. If it is necessary to
! chain them, it is done by blacksmths of
their own sex. If disturbance arises. it
is suppressed by n force of five hundred
Amaz0ns trained from infancy to the use
OF sword and spear. Meanwhile the Slave
women carry on variety of manufactures.
or go outside the walls to till the fields.
TIE women of higher birth are ''sealed"
to the king; the women may marry, but
their husbands dwell outside the walls, The
children, il boys, are banished from the eli.
~ OF women AT six years old; only the
girls remain. All the Oriental distinctions
of rank are scrupuiously observed within
this strange realm. except that the magis-
trates arc chosen for personal character and
wisdom. Mrs. Leonowens speaks with
great reverence of the women who was
Chief JUSTICE when she lived in Bangkok,
and tells some remarkable anecdotes OF the
courage with which she enforced Justice
against offenders far superior to herself in
social rank"
