MANUFACTURE OF com LEAF.

The process of gold-beating is ex-
ceedingly interesting in its various de-
tails, aud is one which requires the ex
ercise of much judgment, physical force
and mechanical Skill The coin is first
reduced in thickness by being rolled
through what is known as a mill, a
machine consisting of iron rollers oper-
ated by steam power. 1t is then annealed
by being subjected to inteise heat, which
softens the metal. 1t is next cut up and
placed in jars containing nitro-muriatic
acid, which dissolves the gold, and re-
duces it to a mass resembling Indian
pudding, both in color and form. This
solution is next placed in jar with
copperas, which separates the gold fy0M
the other components of the mass. The
next process is to properly alloy the now
pure gold, after which it is placed in
crucibles and melted, from which it is
poured into iron molds called ingots,
which measure ten inches in length by
one in breadth and thickness. When
cooled, it is taken ont in the shape of
bars These bars are then rolled into
what are called "ribbon," usually
measuring about eight yards in length,
of the thickness of ordinary paper, and
retaining their original width. These
"ribbons are then cut into pieces an
inch and quarter square, and placed
into what is called "cutch," which
consists of pack of French paper
leaves resembling parchment, each leaf
three inches square, and the pack meas
uring from three-quarters of an inch to
an inch in thickness. They are then
beaten for half an hour upon granite
block, with hammers weighing from
twelve to fifteen pounds, after which
they are taken out and placed in an
other pack of leaves called "shoder."
These leaves are four and half inches
square, and the gold in the "shoder
is beaten for four hours with hammers
weighing about nine pounds. After
being beaten in this manner, the gold
leaves are taken out of the "shoders
and placed in what are called "molds."
These "molds consist of packs of
leaves similar to the other packs, and
made of the stomach of an OK. After
being made ready in the "molds," the
gold. is beaten for four hours more with
hammers weighing six or seven pounds
each. The leaf, after being taken out
of the "mold," is cut into squares of
three and three-eighths inches, and placed
in "books of common paper.

SMALLPOX PRECA UTIONS.

Many of the so-called remedies or pre-
ventives for this loathsome disease, now
so prevalent, are absolutely worthless, if
not positively hl,rtful. The Boston
Globe, however, gives the following
suggestions by an eminent physician"
which seem to be marked by degree of
common sense and apparent medical
knowledge that renders them valuable.
The first thing, says this authority, is in
all cases to send for Il physician the
next, to select nurse A mustard plas-
ter, placed on the back at once, will be
of service. The patient should be re-
moved, rs soon as taken, to the highest
room in the house. Such room is
more quiet, the air is fresher and purer,
and the risk of infection as to the other
parts of the house is much lessened. A
sheet now hung before the door, and
cloths placed about the room, saturated
with bromo-chloralum, CT carbolic acid
in both cases one part of the disin-
fectant to two parts Of water-will alb
sorb the poison in a measure, and should
never be neglected. Into all the vessels
the patient uses, even into the basin that
receives his saliva, the mixture should
be poured and kept. Keep the room
comparatively dark, and at a moderate
temperature sixty degrees-and
remember the sick man must have air
The nurse must not leave the room all
bedding must be burned by her, and all
clothes that cannot be boiled. A mat
tress is far better than feather bed for
the patient to lie on, but if feather bed
is used, it becomes the very rankest
poison, saturated, and almost impossible
to disinfect, and must be burned imme-
diately on recovery.

REMEDIES FOR CORNS.

A correspondent of the country Gen
Ucma, states that he has found the fol-
lowing simple and effectual remedy for
corns: Battle the feet in tepid water,
to soften the corns pare these off very
closely with sharp knife; then rub on
well, green peach-tree leaves; when,
after continuing the rubbing once or
twice day, the corns will disappear.
A good corn salve could no doubt be
made for winter use, by bruising the
peach leaves when green; then boil them
in water until the strength is extracted,
then take out the leaves, strain the water
off the sediment, add a sufficient guam
tity of resin, beeswax, tallow, and lard
oil to make it soft enough, and simmer
down, without burning, until the water
is evaporated. Soften and pare the
corn, rs before directed, spread the salve
on small piece of cambria Or linen, and
apply, putting ON the sock OF stocking
carefully, so as not to rub it off. Keep
applying until the corn disappears.
The following is a recent English re-
cipe for the same purpose: Battle the
feet well in warm water, then with a
sharp instrument pare off as much of
the corn as can be done without pain or
causing it to bleed, and dress once a day
with the following salve: Black oxide
of copper, gr. XIV. lard, OF. SIS.

MILK DIET FOR DISEASES OF TIE
HEART

DR.. Pecholier, of Montpelier, attrib-
utes great Importance to the milk diet,
not only in dropsy, like some of his pre-
decessors, but also in other diseases,
and especially those of the heart. He
states that in active. hypertrophy-
namely, in those cases where the conse-
quences of the Development of the mus
cular fbers prevail over the embarrass-
ment of the circulation caused by the
dilation of the cavities, the contraction
of the orifices, or the insufliciency of the
valves, and where, in consequence, the
tension of the blood is great in the ar
teries, and the radical pulse is full and
hard in such cases, at their commence
msnt, the milk diet, together with the
use of digitalis, and sometimes without
it, will, if continued long enough, induce
at once an amendment of the symptoms,
and even, at last, an ABSORPTION of the
superintendent muscular tissue, and
thus effect a cnre. But in order to Sc
cure success, the patient must strictly
obey the injunctions given to them and
hence the treatment is more successful
in those cases where the lesion has pro-
duced great inconvenience and suffering
than i'll those where the patients suffer
little, because in the latter case they are
unwilling to submit to rules of diet.
Under the influence of the milk diet, it
is found that the impulse of the heart
diminishes, together with the palpita-
tions, and the congested condition of
the face, the brain, and the lungs. The
patient experiences an unexpected i'm
provement, and by the adoption of this
plan life may be prolonged and rendered
more supportable; and even where
cure cannot be hoped for, great pallia-
ton of the symptoms may be induced.

THE BDNiPARTES.

A correspondent Of the New York
World calls attention to the yicissitudes
which the ashes of the Bonapartes have
undergone. The dust of the first Napo-
leon rests in Invalides. Josephine is
buried at Malmaison, and the King of
Rome at Schonbrum. Joseph, Lucien,
Charles and Jerome, the brothers of the
Emperor, lie in different parts of Europe
Charles Marie Napoleon, of Corsica, the
father of the whole family, and Napoleon
Charles, the eldest son of Hortense and
Louis, are buried at st. Leu. Napoleon
Louis, the elder brother of the late En-
peror, is also buried at st. Leu. The
remains of the late Emperor himself are
deposited at Chiselhurst. The changing
scenes of their lives are in keeping with
the fate which seems to fellow them after
death.

EXTRA ORDINARY ME,SNERIC
POWER.

A most extraordinary case of mes
meric influence is reported in the
Indian Medical Gazette. The subject
on whom this infuence-call it what
we MAYS exerted, is n young married
woman named Naunee, and the person
who produces the influence, unconscious
ly to himself, is her husband They
commenced to live together about ten
years ago, but at the end of eight days
the woman became insensible and re-
manned so for some time. In this con-
dition she was taken to her Mothers
where she speedily recovered. She soon
returned to her husband, to whom she
was much attached, but was soon found
in her previous condition. On being re-
moved, she Immediately regained her
senses. Seeing that the two could not
live together, though their attachment
was strong and mutual, the parents of
the woman asked that she receive a sep
arate maintenance. AS the strange case
was being heard in court, the husband
entered, when the wife became insensi-
bic as before, and was removed to a hos
pital, where she was cared for, and her
case carefully watched. Experiments
were made to see if there was no trick
about it. While she was in bed her
husband was mufiied up and made to
walk through the ward. She said she
felt he was near her and that she was by
no means well, but had not seen him
anywhere about. Next day this expert
ment was repeated, and she actually be-
came insensihle as before. When the
husband left the place she recovered.
The experiment as to the influence of
the husbands presence was tried in all
sorts of ways. He was made to pass be-
hind her, and to be near her in a sepa-
rate ward, but this had no effect but
whenever he was brought to look on her
face, though muffied up, or disguised as
policeman, as Sepoy, and so forth,
she was at once influenced. The OK
periments continued for month, and
the conclusion was that the husband I'M
consciously mesmerised her. The Court
came to the conclusion that it was i'm
possible she could live with him, and a
separate allowance was ordered. The
husband was asked to try if he could not
remove the effect, seeing that he had
power to cause it, but he was quite
frightened at the idea at having the
power, and could not control it in any

A BITTER CoNTRovERsY.-The temper
ance organs are waging bitter war on
the manufacturers of alcoholic bitters,
and their attacks are resented with equal
bitterness by the latter, who seem deter
mined to prosecute the quarrel to the
bitter end. In the meantime Il novelty
in tonic medicines is making immense
progress in the confidence of all classes
and conditions of society throughout the
United States and British America. We
refer to DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VIM
EGAR BrrrERs, and we call it novelty
in tonics because it contains no alcohol
an article heretofore considered essen
tial in medicinal invigorants. The alb
stemious portion of the community
approve the omission, and as the new
remedy is curing dyspepsia, biliousness,
nervous affections, and, in fact, ma
iority of the diseases, external and inter-
nal, which prevail, it is difficult to see
how the more self-indulgent portion of
our fellow-citizens can conscientiously
object to it. One thing is certain if
ever there was what the French call a
"grand success" the sudden and con-
tinually increasing popularity OF the
VINEGAR BIrTERs deserves that name.
The advocates of temperance point to
the salutary effects produced by this in
alcoholic restorative as proof that
spirituous stimulants are not needed for
medicinal purposes position which
has been recently taken by many eminent
medical practitioners. Com.

The total is thus 1864 miles, an in
crease of 1871 per cent. for the year, the
aggregate being larger than last year,
and the rate of increase a little less. The
statements of mileage for the whole
country have always heretofore been
quite incorrect, and we presume are still
somewhat so, but adopting the figures
of one Of the tables given in the last is
she of PoOr's Manual, which are prob
ably more nearly correct than for any
previous year, the total length of the
completed railroads in the United States
was SO, ZIG miles at the close of 1872.
From the best information, it appears
that 1906 miles were completed during
1871.

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1872

We give below record of the new
railroads constructed in the United
States during the year 1872. In order
to make it as accurate and complete as
possible, we have sought and obtained
the assistance of some hundreds of rail-
road officers, and in most instances the
information We give is from official
sources. We believe that few errors
will be found in it, and scarcely any
considerable ones; and that the aggre-
gate is nearly exact. The work is one
of great difficulty, more so in finding
the points at which construction ceased
the previous year than in finding the ag-
gregate at the close of the last, officers
not remembering SO well where the last
rail was on the last day of the year as
the time at which line or part of a line
was open for traffic. We have had to
correct some of the reports sent to us,
accordingly, when the mileage opened,
instead of the mileage complete, during
the year was given. We have aimed to
give, as exact as possible, the mileage
of new lines on which rails were laid
within the year, not counting second
track nor ordinary sidings, and without
reference to the conditions of the road
otherwise-the roads, of course, often
being quite incomplete after the track is
down, but still being railroads, are al
most sure to be worked, which is more
than can be said of most lines before the
track is actually laid.
According to the record the mileage
constructed in the several States and
Territories during 1872 was as follows

CREDIT MOBILTER HAMS.

Everybody has heard of the man out
West who was indicted and tried for
stealing large lot of smoked hams.
He employed lawyer to defend him,
but when the evidence was all in his
legal adviser was SO overwhelmed with
it's directness and force that he sank
down in despair. "Get up and address
the jury" said the prisoner, "and pitch
into the witnesses for the prosecution,
for tell you it will come out all right. !"
The lawyer did as directed, and to his
amazement the jury, without leaving
their seats, rendered verdict of not
guilty. AS they were retiring from the
court room, the learned counsel in a
hoarse whisper asked his client how on
earth the jury could render such YER
dict in the very teeth of such positive
proof that he stole the hams. "Why,
bless your SOUL" replied the defendant,
"every man on that jury had some of
the hams -

the powerful antiseptic properties of
carbolic acid, in some recent expert
ments. He envelopcd a fresh cadaver

containing two per cent. of the acid,
and, after an interval of four or five
days, poured more of the solution over
the body. By this treatment putrefac-

decomposition, and being but little al

Gaping A CAPPER.

An enterprising gambling house in
Denver recently hired rather fresh
young man from the States to do little
" Gaping" He soon spotted burly
man of rustic dress and manners, who
looked for all the world like an honest
ranchman from down the Platte river
and just dismounted from wagon-load
of potatoes round the corner The cap
per drew him into conversation, and the
rustic dropped on the game at once,
was piled with numerous social glasses,
and rather extensively inveigled into the
lair of the tiger When the ingenious
youth called the attention of old King
Pharaoh himself to the prize he had in
tow, that potentate rudely asked him,
"What the HI did you pilot the chief
of police in'here for ?"
