JOHN BROwN.-On the 10th day oil
October, 1859, there appeared on the out.
skirts of the city of Harper's Ferry nine
teen men, fourteen white and five colored,
fully equipped for war. They invaded the
town, stopped passenger trains on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, took posses
sion of lot of government property, and
arrested about fifty prominent men OF the
city. They proclaimed their purpose OF
liberating the slaves of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, ana held possession of the place for
thirty hours, when they were overpowered
and captured by General Robert e. Lee.
Of the nineteen there were three wounded,
one of whom was Captain John Brown.
They were securely ironed, taken further
back into Virginia. and after trial were
condemned and speedily executed.
On the I'd day of December, 1859,
Browns corpse was given to his widow,
who caused it to be borne to Essex county,
New York, where it now reposes in the
silent tomb. ga
Persons from Richmond who saw John
Brown die say that never drawer soul
passed from life to death.

1t is recorded, by the San Francisco
Figaro, that Alclbiades Botteler used
to keep q barber-shop, and invented a
sllampooing machine. So he fixed up
continuance with kind of an iron
stand, from which two jointed arms
with steel claws protruded. These
claws were covered with chamois skin.
and the arms were moved in any direc-
ton by a series of arms and levers.
Steam-power was obtained from the
factory next door. Mr.. Is. instructed
the shop. boy how to start the machine,
and seating himself in tho chair, he
placed a claw on each side of his head,
The boy must have pulled the throttle
valve ont about a foot too far, for in
about a minute the steel claws clutched
Botteler's head 80 that he thought his
skull would crack, and the shampoo.

and tear around the room, and it lifted
Alcibiades from his chair with Jerk,

Clothes on Fire.

Three persons out of four would rush
right up to the burning individual and
begin to paw with their hands without
any definite aim. It is useless to tell
the victim to do this or that, or to call
for water. In fact, it is generally best
not to say a word, but to seize q blank
ct or any wooden fabric-if none is at
hand take any WOODEN material-hold
the corners as far apart as you can,
stretch them out higher than your
head, and running boldly to the person,
make motion OF clasping in the arms.
mostly about the shoulders. This in.
stantiy smothers the fire and saves the
face.
The next instant throw the person on
the floor. This is an additional safety
to the face and breath, and any remnant
OF flame can be put out more leisurely.
The next instant immense the burnt
part in cold water, and all pain will
cease with the rapidlty of lightning.
Next get some flour, remove from the
water, and cover the burnt parts with
an inch in thickness of -four; if posi-.
ole, put the patient in bed, and do all
that is possible to soothe until the
physician arrives. Let the flour remain
until it falls off itself, when bcauti-
tul new skin can be found. Unless the
burns are deep, no other applications
are needed. The dry flour for burns
is tile most reliable remedy ever pro-
posed, and the Information ought to
be impaired to all.
The principle of its action is, that,
like the water, it causes instant and
perfect relief from pain by totally ex-
GLIDING the air from the injured parts.

Sergine, at dusk got over tho side of

dropping into collier he lay concealed
among the GOALS until half past
nine. He then tied his pocket book
and papers in his handkerchief
to keep them dry, ::and, lowering himself
over the side of the lighter, swan to
the stern where a boat was in tow.
Cutting the rope With his knife, and
hanging to the portion of the rope
which remained, he drifted into the
bay with the boat until about three
hundred yards from the vessel, when,
hearing cry and thinking an alarm
had been given, he loosed his hold of
the boat and struck out in the direction
of the lights ON the Sandridge shore
After swimming for about three quar-
tiers of IN hour he caught the cable of
q vessel and rested there for nearly an
hour in state of exhaustion. He then
started again for the shore about mid
night, end after half an hours swim
