DETECTION OF STARCH IN MILK.-Dr,
Hagar accounts for occasional discrep-
ancies IN the statements of different
chemists in regard to the presence OF
starch in sample of milk. by the Pc
culiar property which lacteo-protein
substances possess of combining rap
idly with iodine, and thus decolOrizing
q solution of it. In consequence, no re-
action for starch is obtainable until the
milk is saturated. in this respect, with
the iodine, and by accident q chemist
may stop short of this point, and fail to
get the reaction for starch.

OLD RUMBUGs DIsCARDED.-Ths
heaven, the old school practice is pass
ing away. Ipecac, aloes, calomel, Bills
tering, the lancet, and (worse than ALL
medicated rum, have given place to a
new remedy, which bids fair to become
the universal medicine of mankind.
Vinegar Bitters is that remedy. It is
destined to take precedence of all other
curatives now before the world. The
pharmacop9ia and conspectus of the
regular faculty contain nothing that will
compare With it. Every day hundreds
of the sick are emancipating themselves
from systems of treatment which entail
great expense and do no good, and are
flying to this cheap and absolutely Ger.
tain means of relief. Dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, liver complaint, periodic fevers,
sick headache, kidney diseases, corsti-
patton, nervous affections, and in short
all maladies, acute or chronic, which do
not involve the irreparable injury of
ONE vital organ, are cured by this pure
inalcoholic vegetable restorative.

SOLUBLE SEsQUIoxIDE OF IRON IN
DTENG SmK.-The injurious effect of
the usually very acid mordants upon
the durability of silk may be avoided
by employing the aqueous solution of
peroxide of iron, which remains in a
dialyser, supplied with a bottom of an
imal membrane or parchment paper,
and filled with solution of chloride
of iron, and foated for some time in a
vessel of water, the large part of the
hydrochloric acid passing into the wa
ter. This solution is also much more
effective than the usual iron mordant.
since the affinity of the iron for silk is
not weakened by an acid. In fact NOR
danting by iron salts seems itself to rest
upon O dialytic process.

the Southern carpet baggers is that they
feel no vital concern in the South, except
as a field for mere plundering operations.
Like the old Norman family, they must
show the South and the country that they
are more Southern than the Southerners
themselves. If we must have the gather
ing, put the best men forward, and, above
all, let us have no nonsense about questions
of national politics, which are nearly two
years in the future, and which will take
care of themselves. There are some very
jealous, superserviceable gentlemen in the
South who will, in all probability. turn up
in the convention-some of them hailing
from South Carolina, too-snd who will
endesvor, if we are correctly informed, to
use it as means of advancing their own
personal interests. They should be watched,
and any attempt on their part to pursue
their characteristic practices should be
promptly and effectually rebUked.
