A NEW DRUe-The Galaay for August
says: GA new drug, obtained from the en-
calyptus globulus, or bluu:gum tree, is find
ing much favor among foreign physicians as
a remedy in intermittent fevers. The tree is
a native of Australia, but is now cultivated
in Corsica and the South of Europe. The
whole of the tree, according to DR.. Carlorti,
is strongly impregnated with febrifugal pro-
perties. Ho has used leaves, bark and wood
with srccess. The drug is also recommen-.
ded as tonic and stimulant, has been used
in bronchicis with favorable results, and is
valuable as an autiseptic application to all
wounds. Cigars made of the leaves Of this
plant are said by Prof. MsIIean to be second
on y to morphia for allaying pain, calming
irritation and procuring sleep in cases Of
chest aneurism and the asthma incident to
heart disease. The eucalyptus has been an
alyzed by. Professors Vanquelin and Leici-
ana, who report, besides other matters, the
presence of an alkaloid, strongly resembling.
quinine. -,

: The following story is told Of one of the
early Mormon elders.
Miracles were then the greatest forte Of
the leaders of this sect, and this particular
elder had an unparalleled success in making
proselytes, and always cautioned his audi
ence against believing in him or what he
said, if at the close of his discourse they did
not see descend and light upon him dove
Sin bodily shupe," etc. This confirmation
of his deep truths took amazingly, with the
people, who neither could nor would doubt
what they saw with their own eyes, and
heard with their own ears. The descent Of
the dove usually took place at the clese Of
the evening service, and during petition
for seal Of the truths he had spoken. One
night however the petition was ended and
no dove descended. 1t was repeated again
and again, at last with so much vehemence
as to drown a voice which proceeded from
the loft of the school house. At length q
board in the ceiling was raised and red
face appeared, followed by voice saying:
."Faith, an dye think I'm dafe or asleep,
Didn't ,kape telling ye that the cats got
it W,
That saints usefulness as minister in
that neighborhood ceased with the speech Of
the Irishman, and both narrowly escaped q
coat of tar and feathers.

ENGLISH SLANG-Thc London Saturday
Rerier, speaking of "Drawing-room Slang"
in England, Says:
A great deal might be. and ought to be,
said in reproof the coarseness Of speech that
accompanies our increasing looseness Of man.
ners. Men do not, it is true, swear as volu-
bly, as the Mohawks and Squire Westerns
of the last century, though their reticepce
hardly comes of increased reverence; but
women no longer confne themselves to such
''sarcenet oaths" as fell from the lips Of the
Reynolds and Gaincsborough divinities.-
They assert their "advanced" position by lit
tie ventures into the regions Of blasphemy,
and increased profanity in the use of sacred
lanes, as may be seen in certain pictures of
life by female hands of undoubted accuracy.
Our manners are at best, but a superficial pol
ish, and are. very ready to relapse into bull
dog barbarism; and here are our ladies', the
core and reserve of our civilizing forces,
breaking out into strange oaths, or, not hav-
ing originality enough for that, adopting the
used up expletives Of roushs and rowdies.-
Yet, startling as her profanity may be, we
doubt whether the historical young lady of
Folkestone who guaged her Indifference by
"two d-ns Of tinker" is, in the long run,
as mischievious as the languishing fair one
who cannot be "fetched by such awful chalk"
as, for instance, village sermon--who finds
domestic life a Zone horse" afrair-wliose
'relieving officer mulls the business" if he
advertises certain REFORMS in her lawfully
jolly" style-who requires, as restorative to
her over -wroughtneryes, "thunder and light
ning," or "shandy gaff," though that is,
when absorbed, ''simply skittles," you know,
not half such drink as b. and s.-who
can put you on several "morals" in the way
of "gees" and "chasers," tell the point Of
her "quad" and the history of the chief Of
"pretty house breakers" but "can't execute q
large order" in the way of virtues esteemed
by old fogies and "howling bores" her grand
fathers. But the slang dictionary is beoom
ing so voluminous that we cannot pretend
to give even an idea of its various dialects
ranging, as they do, from the ribaldry of the
.Kentish hopper to the drawled jargon of the
Goodwood and Hurlingham. There are as
many cants as there are eoteries, and eael
variety of "g. p" has its own eccentricity o.
speech. Never was there such a havoc O.
language.
