IMPORTANT To ANKEUPTs.-Pe Persons
who are indebted to a bankrupt estate
must be very careful how they make
payments to any one who claims TO
represent it. After commencement
of proceedings in bankruptcy the title
to all such debts will rest in the assign
ee, althOuge he may not then be ap-
pointed, and the payment to the in
solvent himself, or TO any other party
for him, after such time viii be of no
avail to protect the debtor from pay
ing the same amount over again to the
assignee, who can sue for and receive
it. We know of a coal-dealer here
who sold all his customers their Win
ter supply of fuel and then became
insolvent and applied for the benefit
of the bankrupt act. After the pro-
ceedtngs wore commenced and public
notice had been given in some obscure
paper not generally circulated, the
dealer went around and collected all
his bills His customers paid him in
good faith, knowing nothing of his
pecuniary troubles, and took his re-
ceipt. Every one of them was obliged
afterward to pay the debt over again
to the assignee, who had the dealers
books and proceeded to collect every
dollar not paid to him before the pro-
ceeidngs were commenced -Ncc York

\ friend Of ours, says the Lynch
burg Republican, who suffered a
horrible torture from neuralgia,
hearing Of noted physician in
Germany, who invariably cured
that disease, crossed the ocean and
visited Germany for treatment
He was permanently cured after a
short sojourn, and the doctor free
~ gave him the simple remedy
used, which was nothing but a
poulticc and tea made from our
common field thistle. The leaves
maccratcd ani used on the parts
affected, as a poulticc, while a small
quantity of the leaves are boiled
down in the proportion of 4 quart
to a pint, and a small wincglass Of
the docoction drank before each
meal. Our friend says he has re,
commended it far and near, and has
never known it to fail of giving re
lief, and in almost every ease ha,
effected u cure.

LOVE IMMORTAL.

A maid Tcclincd beside O. stream.
Al fall Of summer day,
Aud half awake, and half a-dreIm.
She watched the ripples plsy;
She marked the waters fall and hoayc.
The deepening shadows throns,
And heard, as darkencd down the eve.
The rivers bubJling song:
And thu, itsung, with twinkliu- tongue
That ripping >ha,lOwy river
y Youths brightest day will fade away,
Folevcr ana forever -~
The twilight past, the moon al lat
Each ripple CLEANS beneath her beans.
As wrought Ia silver light.
The heaying waters glide along,
But minsling with their notes,
The nightingale now p0urs hi, song.
And makes the shades r, joire:
And thus be sung with tunrful tongue,
That bird beside the river
"When youth is gone, true love shine, on
Forever and forcyer,'

SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The Government 10 Begin Paying
silver To-day.

WASHINGToN, ID. c., October ~
The Secretary of the Treasury will is
sue orders to-day 10 commence the
payment of silver at New Yol1r, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
leading cities, where there are As
sistant Treasurers or dcsi"na depOsi-
tories, tomorrow. In 10 case will
more than five dollars in silver be
paid to one person, the balance of a
chech being payable in grcenb2cks.
Secretary Richardson hopes to keep
up the payment of silver, which Will
be commenced tomorrow, expressing
the opinion that he will be able to do
SO, unless a run upon the Treasury Is
made and silver taken out for the pur-
pose of being boarded.
There IS at present about half a
million of dollars in silver coin IN
possession of the Government, which
1t IS thought will last some weeks, but
the work of coming viii still be con-
tlnued, though not more rapidly than
heretofore. THERE'S an abundance OF
silver bars IN the country, and the ca
pacity of the mints is sufficient for the
coinage of about fifteen million OF
dollars per annum in silver, without
interfering with other coinage, with
the exception of that in California.
There Is but little silver coin in the
country, now, not IN possession of the
Government. In order to prevent any
rush for silver coin, the Secretary will
in his order directing payment of that
coin, positively forbid that more than
five dollars to be paid to one person,
no matter what amount may be called
for IN check.

dipping the Hand into Molten Iron.


The thing has been done over aud
over again, observed DIR. Carpenter
in a recent lecture-that II man mas
gone and held his naked hand in
such stream OF molten iron, and
has done il withoutth least injury;
all that is required being to have
merely his hand moist, and if his
hand is dry, he has merely 20 dip il
in water, and he may hold his hand
for certain length of time in that
stream ofmoltern iron without re-
ceiying any injury whatever. This
was exhibited publicity at a meet
inc OF the British Association at
Ipswich, many years ago. ltis one of
the miracles of science, so to speak
they are perfectly credible to scien-
tific men, because they know the
principle upon which il happens,
and that principle is familiar to YOU
all that il you throw drop of water
upon hot iron, the water remains
spherical form, and does not spread
upon it and wet ii. Vapor is
brought to that condition by intense
heat, that IL forms sort of film, or
atmosphere, between the hand and
the hot iron, and for a time that at
mosphere is not too hot to be per-
fectly bcarable. There ere \ number
orthesc'miracles ofsciencc, which we
believe, however incredible at first
sight they may appear, because they
can be brought to the test Of ex-
pcrience and can be at any time re-
produced under the necessary con-
ditions. Houden, the conjurcr, in
his very interesting autobiography
"A little book would recommend
to any of you who are interested iu
the study of the workings of the
mind. Houden tells you that he
himself tried his experiment, after a
good deal of persuasion; and he says
that the sensation Of immercing his
hand in this mOltern metal was like
hadling liquid.

CaIhoun's Last Speech-An ImPrcs.
SiVc Scene.


The Boston Commercial BuLlctjR
gives this account of the last speech
Of John c. Calhoun, in the United
States Senate:
Calhoun came into the Senate
Chamber, supported On one side by
his venerable and chivalric colleague,
a F. Butler, and on the other by
James NJ. Mason, then Senator from
Virginia. He had been unable to at
tend his place in the Senate for sever
al weeks, but had devoted his expir-
ing energies to the preparation of a
great speech IN opposition to the ad-
mission of California into the Union
as a free State, by which the equilib-
rum, or, as he termed it, the equali-
ty of the slaveholding and nOn-slavc-
holding States would be destroyed.
He was unable to stand without sup
port, and unable TO utter even n few
short sentences without great difficult
ty. His large, clear eyes shonc with
supernatural luster, his long white
hair brushed back over his head flow
ed lightly in the air. His face was
pale and Cmaciated, so chat the color
less skin seemed to adhere to the os-
seOus framework. The day had been
assigned for this speech, which, it
was evident, would be his last.
The seats and galleries were filed
to the utmost capacity, and yet the
silence was oppressive, as if in pres
cncc of the grim messenger. He
calmly and deliberately surveyed the
eager faces before and around him,
and being assisted to arise, summon
ed strength to address the Chair, and
request that the speech he had intend
ed to deliver might be read by his
friend from Virginia, Mr.. Mason.
After the conclusion of the reading,
many Senators gathered around the
dying Senator to give expression to
their regret and sympathy. He left
the Senate Chamber for the last time
as he had entered, supported by the
arms of his two friends. He was
taken to the "Old Capitol - and in a
few days passed TO
THAT undiscovered country, from
whose bourne no traveller returns.
