Diseases of Artisans and Mechanics.

A careful investigation has been made of
the special diseases incident to the occupa-
tions of artisans and mechanics, and the
following are some of the most interesting
among the mass of facts and data brought
to light:
1t appears that gilders are subject to mer-
curial affections. They suffer from giddi-
ness, asthma, and very frequently from
partial paralysis, which often induces Pc
culiar kind of stammering; they also fire.
quently suffer from unpleasant ulcers in
the mouth.
Miners in the quicksilver mines suffer
from vertigo, palsy and commissions, and
the occupation can not be pursued long
time,
Pottery GLACIERS, who use lead largely,
get into a condition very similar TO that
described above, with the addition of drop
Palsy of the limbs, especially of the arms,
is a common disease among them, as also
is consumption. a
Glass-blowers are the victims of those
affections produced by sudden vicissitudes
of Observation-Disclosures and various
infiammations. They are apt to become
thin and delicate, and their eyes get weak.
Stone-cutters inhale the sharp particles,
which tend to produce disease of the lungs,
while plasterers suffer from the gases dis
engaged and from the excessive moisture
they are also troubled with labored breath
ing, and they digest badly.
Filters are short-lived; for whether the
metal be brass or iron, sharp particles
make their way into the lungs of even the
hardest workmen, where they develop
disease - sometimes asthma, sometimes
consumption.-StL Louis Republican.

Aneodote OF Charles Matthews.

We are given to understand that the fol-
lowing snecdote of Charles Matthews the
elder has not hitherto been in print in
this country. Matthew and Tattersall
were very intimate, and the great come
dian was frequently in the habit of accom-
panying his friend to New Market, where,
on one occasion, Matthews INDUCED in
his well-known taste for mimicry, at the
expense of Tattersall, during a sale OF
blooded stock conducted by the latter.
"The first lot, gentlemen said Mr.. Tat
tsrsall, is bay by Smolensko," etc.
1.-The first lot, gentlemen" echoed Mr..
Matthews, in precisely the same tone OF
voice, is a bay FLY by Smolensko," etc.
The auctionser looked somewhat annoy
ed, but proceeded:

"What shall We begin with ?'' replied
the echo.
Still endevoring to conceal his vexation

ews.
"Thank you, s!r," cried Tattersall,
bringing down the hammer; 1.-THE filly is

Matthews was considerably taken abacl
by his sudden acquisition of "blooded
stock, T." and the company enjoyed the joke
immensely.

The cries of the captain were smothered by the

a man attempted to pull the cylinder off but he
could not bulge it and every, effort he made in

sort he was marched down to the tin-shop, fol-
lowed by the women and the command, the

Why Don't the Tennessee Lawyers sstrike.''

The lawyers of Tennessee do not like
their Supreme Court. Lawyers generally
have no great esteem for Judges who de-
eide cases against them, but as there are
two sides to a question and usually several
lawyers to a side, it is impossible to please
everybody. In Tennessee, however, the
lawyers on both sides seem to be of the
opinion that the Supreme Court is not
what it ought to be, and they are casting
about for some remedy. They complain
that the Court does not hold general con-
sultation upon the cases carried before them
before pronouncing opinions. They leave
the case to be decided by the Judge who
has the record of it, and accept his opinion
as that of the whole bench. This makes
their labors easier. 1t is not denied, how
ever, that the Judges do hold consulta-
tions, but is alleged these consultations are
held after the opinion has been written up,
and do not usually affect It's bearing upon
the case. The lawyers infer rather than
know this to be the case, since many OF the
opinions are 80 discreditable that, as they
think, it is not possible the whole bench
could have passed upon them. Then the
opinions are often conflicting and often re-
verse points of law long settled by the
jurisprudence of the State. These and
other matters Of discomfort have worked
up the lawyers to q condition of mutiny /;
but how they propose to remedy this state
of affairs is not made clear. Why don't
they strike Gin. Commercial.

ponds upon making connection with your feet,

are q large man and are getting down from

You have got down too far to CALL back, and

deploy your feet in agonizing apprehension.
Despite the danger Of your position, you can

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

The recognition Of the Spanish Republic by
the leading European powers will doubtless
prove heavy blow to the Carlists, who will
find, hereafter, great difficulty in procuring
arms andammunition to carry on the ciyl war;
A stricter blockade will be enforced both on
the Pyrennes frontier and on the coast of Bis
cay, and the moral effect of this somewhat
tardy act OF national comfy, will materially
strengthen the inhuenc Of Marshal Serrano's
Government over the Spanish nation There
is no country in Europe whose capacity for
improvement is greater, and whose undevel-
oped resources are more abundant than Spain,
and ten years OF internal peace and moderate
ly good government would place ii in a far diff
ferent position, both politically and financial
ly, than the one it now occupies.
With all their faults the Spaniards have
many noble IT. its of character The peasan-
try are sober, orderly class OF people, an
the mariners, mechanics and artisans OF Cata-
lonla and Audalusia have always exhibited
great quickness and aptitude in their re-
spectlve callings. The patriotism Of the
Spanish people has been gloriously shown in
their unequal struggle against the first Napo-
leon, and with such men as CASTELAR, to guide,
we see no reason why they should not succeed
in establishing truly liberal and constitu-
tional government, and freeing themselves
forever from the chronic plaques of royal
pretenders and military pro.u,ecian.eatos.

A NEW CORPORATION.
A CANDIDATE FOR HONORS.

It seems We are to have a new candidate for
commercial honors in the field. The recent
civil rights cases and the action Of steamboat
captains regarding the carrying Of negroes in
the cabin, has had the effect to bring several
together who, desiring to get this trade, which
naturally will flow to them after complete or
ganization, have formed themselves into a
corporation by notarial ACT. under the name OF
the Union Steam transportation Company
The following, as descriptive of the objects
OF the association, we take from the charter ::
1.-The object of this corporation is to con
struct purchase or otherwise procure steam
boats and other vessels to run and navigate
the Mississippi River and its tributaries tor
the purpose of carrying freights, mails and
passengers irrespective of race or color)."
The capital is placed at $50, 900, and the
incorpOratOrs are, L. B. Wakeman, for four
shares L. Sewell, ten shares D. D. Haven,
five shares John Ray, five shares A. w.
Faulkner, one share f: VIM. G. Brown, (Su-
perintendent of Education,) five shares, and
=. Dessauer five shares.
The charter, as presented to the Register of
Gonveyances, seems to have involved great la
Dor, as it is filed with errata. It was drawn
UP before L. A. Bell, notary appointed late
III the month OF May last, but who
has not yet complied with the i'm
perative statute, No. 2521 of the
Revised Statutes, requiring every notary to
file his bond IN the Auditors and Registers
office How this will affect this charter We do
not propose to say; but, nevertheless, it APP
pears strange that he should perform the
duties before complying with the law.
Whether the corporation viii be success
or not remains to be seen. It will probably
be experimental upon at an early date.
