the natives when suffering with facial neu-
ralgia using oil of peppermint, which they
lightly apply to the seat Of pain with CAM
el-bair pencil. Since then, in my own prac-
tee, I frequently employ this oil as local
ansesthetic, not only in neuralgia, but also
in govt, with remarkably good results

DEPTH TO PLANT SEEDs.-The proper
depth to plant seeds is question of consid-
cradle importance, and one which, like ma
ny other similar questions relating to plant
growth cannot receive definite answer that
would be of general or universal application.
In dry sandy soils situated in dry climates,
deeper covering will be required than
would be judicious where both soil and Gil
mate ind icate the reverse of these conditions.
For instance, it has been shown that peas
continue longer in bearing condition. on
sandy soils, when sown at depth of six
inches. than they do when placed nearer the
surface and it is said that the Indians up
on the table-lands of the Colorado plant corn
10 or - inches below the eorfaoe WIN tne
best results but if planted with only one or
two inches of covering. the crop fails. Seeds
also vary in their ability to penetrate depths
Of soil in terminating. Leguminous seeds,
and some of the largest seeding graminea,
car be planted deeper than those of light
er character. It has been given as a gener-
al rule that all seeds terminate most speedi-
ly when covered with depth of soil equal
to their own thickness, and where the con-
slant presence of sufficient moisture for
termination can be maintained this rule
is, perhaps, as nearly correct as any that
can be given.

refer to the frontal headache, which is most
apt to occur after prolonged mental effort,
but may likewise be induced by unduly- sus-

styled the headache of fatigued brain. A
cup Of very strong tea often relieves this
form of headache, but this remedy, with not
a few. is perilous, for bringing relief to pain,

worst of all-banish sleep. Turpentne, in
doses Of twenty or thirty minims, given at
intervals of an hour or two, will not only

PLowlNG-DEEp AND SnALLow.-Says O
correspondent Long as the pillow has been
in use, am satisfied thai its proper use
and advantages are little understood, except
| in breaking the ground and cultivatiDg
crops. In beneftting the land and increas-
ing its productiveness. We do not fully un-
derstand what the pillow is capable of doing,
if used properly. For instance, my i'm
| pressions are that land should never be
turned over deeply more than once in two
years-pasturage, once in three years, and
when turned over, it would be better for
having on it heavy growth Of vegetable
matter to turn under for manurial purposes
and in the intervening years-between using
the heavy turn-plows, it would be best to
break the ground with plows Of the sub
soiling order. The more we expose the soil
by turning it, the more the evaporation of
it's chemical fertiiizing ingredients must take
place, which will require larger amount
of manures to be applied, to restore what
evaporation and plants have exhausted. l
believe the ground should be thoroughly
and deeply broken at least once year, in
some instances twice, but not so often with
large turning plows; let it be done with
plows that break deep and pulverlze thor
oughly without turning over the land. So
we'll satisfied [ am of the correctness of this,
that never turn over a field with large
turning plows bat once in two years. and
my lands are heavy, red loan soil, sticky
and tenacious in character. Under this
system of blowing I have seen decided i'm
provement in the production of my land,
with only partial maturing. Several agents
of the manufacturers of fertilizers have
called on me, wishing to sell me some.

the o'clock train, Thursday, and were
assiduous in their attentions until the
hour OF death.
Our community were shocked at the
announcement yesterday morning OF
Mrs. Thornburgh's death and the pain
fulness of the intelligence was intensi'
fed when the melancholy cause Of her
death came to be understood. As WAS
quite natural in the state of social eX-
element ensuing the announcement,
various and confused rumors and ver-
sions of the affair were in circulation.
In order that the history of the case may
be correctly understood, we have pre-
pared our report with strict reference to
the authentic facts, as furnished by
those best informed and authorized to
give them.
Upon examining the prescription files
of Messrs. Head & Locke, yesterday.
the prescription of DR.. Boyd was found
as above given, written in legible hand
writing. Upon examining it, the clerk
expressed confidence that he had put
into the preparation precisely what was
called for and nothing else; and the
proprietor, with view of thorough ex-
animation, promptly set aside the two
bottles, containing Quinine and Sdta-
cine, for chemical inspection-placing
them at once in the vault of the Knox
vile bank. Thereupon, the physicians
in charge Of the case called a conference
of physicians for the puspose of ascer-
tanning the chemical properties of the
medicine administered There were
present in this conference at Dr. Boyd s
Office, Drs. Rodefor, Thornburgh, Boyd,
Boynton, Deaderick, Curtis, James
Rodgers, and Mr.. Heald, of the firm of
Heald & Locke. Six of the pills not
having been taken and being still in the
box, they were made the subject OF
careful analysis. The tests were va
riously repeated to the satisfaction OF
every one present. The result of each
test was that morphine was prominent
ingredient of the pill; that the pill had
not been compounded according to the
prescription, and that the morphine in
the pill, which had been substituted by
mistake for quinine, was. the cause OF
the narcotic poisoning and death.
The conclusion as to the result of this
dread mistake was that Mrs. Thorn
burgh had taken two grams and hali
of morphine, within three hours-enough
to produce death.
The bottles Of quinine and salicene
which had been placed in the bank were
produced and their contents examined
by the physicians. The drugs were
found to be pure and incapable of pro-
ducing the combination found in the
pills. The tests were conclusive, there
fore, that the prescription had not been
filed according to its terms and direc'
tons.

most painful to thiHk what surplus of
talent and genios there would be in
the world If the habit Of intoxication
should suddenly cease; and what slim
chance there would be for the plodding
people who have always had tolerably
good habits. The fear is only mitigated
by the observation that the reputation
o! person for great talent sometimes
ceases with his reformation.
1t is believed by some that the maidens
who would make the best wives never
marry, but remain free, to bless the
world with their impartial sweetness and
make it generally habitable. This is
one of the mysteries of Providence, and
New England life. 1t seems pity, at
first sight, that all those who become
poor wives have the matrimonial chance,
and that they are deprived of the repu-
tation of those who would be good wives
were they not set apart for the high and
perpetual Office Of priestesses Of society.
There was no beauty like that which
was spoiled by an accident, no accom-
plishments and graces are so to be en-

How Germany Prevents Railroad
Accidents.

That most railway accidents, and es-
pecially those which are the result OF
collision, can be avoided by proper care
and foresight is undeniable. This is
shown by the comparative exemption
from accident which some railroads In
this country, conducted on proper prin-
ciples, enjoy Even in regard to the
breaking of rail, as in the Lehigh ac-
cident, which the coroners jury in that
case treats as an unforeseen and una
voidable thing, it is said that in Ger
many an accident has never occurred
from the breaking of rail. The New
York Evening Post says that not per-
son in that country has lost his life nor o
person been mutilated from this cause
in all the thirty and more years that
steam carriages have been running on
iron ways. The reason is plain. 1t is
determined by scientific experiment how
long iron wilt resist, or the average, the
beating of wheels, and then the law re-
quires the railroad companies to put
down the rails periodically, whether
those in use exhibit signs of weakness
or not. While this involves expense it
is so managed as to be gradually distrib-
uted over period of years, a small part
of the road being renewed each year,
until the whole is completed within the
given time. Here, on the contrary, up
on many railroad lines, little attention
is given to the selection of rails, and less
to their renewal at certain periods. Few
companies incur the expense of substi-
tuting steel for iron rails, though the
former are far more durable. In like
manner the same false economy in all
that would give increased securityto the
public is one of the chief causes of the
frightful perils on railway travelling.

A ATnnnel Tndor lhe SNOW.

From the Central City Herald Feb. 15.l
A tunnel of snow partially surrounds
the stamp mill above Nevada, through
which ali quartz conveyed to the mill
passes. This mill, which is now in full
blast, is located in the ravine through
which the upper portion of Nevada gulch
flows, which, owing to the abrupt hills on
either side, is very favorable for the ac-
emulation of snow. Early in December
immense drifts Of the heecy element
blocked up the only road that encircles
or approaches the mill to the depth OF
fifteen or twenty feet, so that tunneling
was resorted to. For some time 1t was
impossible to reach the mill with quartz
teams, but the tunnel having been ex-
cayated and re-excavated as one snow
succeeded another, now affords an excel
lent roadway, kept IN good travetng
order and of sufficient length to avoid
trouble from the drifting snow. Through
this six foot smooth bore, with its vast
snow roof above, loaded quartz teams
make their way without difficulty for a
distance of one hundred and forty feet,
describing almost half circle in their
course to the mill side. 1t is so firm and
substantial that it bids fair to hold good
for months to come.

A Dungeon for schurz and sumner.
From the speech of Hon. Carl SchurE.

Ali sir, it is q glorious spectacle.
Here stands two American senators, not
entirely unknown to the country, whose
record is not entirely devoid of patriot
ism and service, and whose only aim is
to investigate the abuses and the viola
ton of laws and have them punished.
Those senators are met here by one of
the spokesmen of the administration,
hourishing statute in his hand, threat
ening them with fine and imprisonment.
Let it be known in every nook and
corner, that he, who is in earnest in set
ting his face against those in power, and
who boldly seeks to detect fraud and
punish violations of law, is confronted
by the powers that be with the prospect
of the dungeon. Why, sir, | did not
know that the administration was iR
such desperate condition as that
They are developing very fast. How
long will it be until you cannot even get
up testimony against Leet and Stocking,
the knights Of the general order, without
having some statute dug up that will
fine and imprison you for it. Laugh
ter. But if the senator from New
York thinks that he can in this way
strike fear into my soul he will soon find
that he is greatly mistaken. On the
path of duty that have walked, | have
seen men far more dangerous than he
is, and before thousand of them my
heart will not quail. No, sir, will vote
for his amendment vote for 1t with all
the scorn which it deserves.

Ole RulI,s Account of his Visit 10
Ex.SecretRry Seward.

From the Titusville pa Herald, Feb. 12.l
Ole Bull informs us that he passed a
very pleasant time at Governor Seward 5
house at Auburn,IN. z, on Wednesday
lass. on the occasion of his concert in
that city, and that he found the veteran
statesman in remarkably good health,
and engaged with great ardor in prepar-
ing "reminiscences of his recent grand
Journey round the globe. A representa-
live of well-known Eastern publishing
house was at Governor Stewards on the
same occasion, consulting with reference
20 the illustrations which are to accom-
pany the interesting record of the states
mans travels and adventures in either
hemisphere, in tropical Mexico, in ice
hound Alaska, among the Celestials and
the Orientals, as we'll as European ma
tions.
Ole Bull pronounces the mind of the
sage of Auburn as active, profound and
brilliant as ever, unaffected by the par
alvsis of his arms, which causes him
some inconvenience, but does not dimin-
ish the flow of his spirits, his powers of
conversation, or his interest in public
affairs. Governor Seward feels no con-
cern or apprehension about the present
commotion in England growing out OF
the present phase of the Alabama
claims. He has no doubt about Eng
lands being willing and anxious to set
tie our bill peaceably, on our terms, at
no distant day. She cannot, as he be-
lieves, afford to do otherwise, and is SEN
sible enough to realize that her interest
lies that way. 1t was pleasant to hear
that distinguished artist glow with ar
tistic enthusiasm as he dilated on Gov.
Stewards great services to the country.

Madame W, well known in Kan

grace and elegance that would reflect
credit on the most accomplished ladies
of the French court. She is the chosen

is introduced into society as his cousin
whom he has brought to Washington
City to get a glimpse of life at the capi,
tai, and to do the honors as mistress Of
the elegant mansion he has rented dur

She was at party the other night,
and newspaper reporter was so smlt.

manner that in his next morning pa
per he gushed forth in a quarter column
of raphsody upon the charming cousin
of the honorable gentleman from -
and devoted the balance of the column
to an elaborate description of hel
toilette, which, he said, was the mosi
elegant and costly of any in the party.
Charley B., who, you know was al
ways fast while at home, and knew
her in Kansas City, called upon her the
other afternoon, and found the house
filled with distinguished company
whom Madame W. was entertaining
with the grace and hospitality of a
Duchess, seeming perfectly at home in
her new position.
