BLoopLEss SURoERY.-A process tor
performing surgical operations without the
loss of blood, is described as follows in the
Lancet AN elastic banlage about two
inches and half in width, and from ave
to ten yards long, is bound round the limb,
commencing at the fingers or toes, as the
case may be, and is then continued upward
so as to drive the blood before it out OF the
veins and arteries. When the desired
point has been reached, a strong India
rubber band is tightly drawn two or three
times round the limb inst above the elastic
bandage, and fastened by hooks. The
bandage is then removed, leaving the tissues
blanched and exsapguined. Not particle
of blood is lost during the operation which
is really more bloodless than when per
formed on the dead subject. No i'll effects
have hitherto been observed from the use
of this continuance, but it is one OF the
possible evils of the device that the pro-
ionged pressure on the blood ressels and
the complete stoppage of circulation may,
under certain conditions, lead to the form
alton of a clot, which, on the re-esta dish
ment of circulation, may be carried along
the vessels, and arrested in some part OF
their course, giving rise to circunscrioed
Inflammation, and even gangrene. Ihere
is also considerable danger of applying the
bandage over parts which are infamed
and suppurating, especially if decomposi-
ton be going on, lest some OF the clots
which are found in the blood vessels OF the
affected parts be detached and forced into
the blood current

Few ever think how little it exacts Of
tentimes to render their neighbors happy.
1t is now q kind look, now a welcome word.
One while it is the absence of meanness,
again the act of civility. Is not the act OF
unselfshness like the dews of a summer
night acting upon the world of plants, re-
lievipg the distress of many heart, Win
ming nature affectionately and powerfully ?
For man to have once gone out of himself
and been for time forgetful alike of his
miseries and pleasures, to soothe the pain
and alleviate the sorrow of one or more of
his kind-what is this but wearing honors
brighter and more lasting than great Cesar
wore in parading Rome, with captive kings
as his trophy7 What is it, but to rule
with a power and an influence, that rods
ever sway For to rule mems natures,
to take and hold possession of their hearts,
is to have won conquest glorious and
mperishable.-Indsr Niagarensis.

Nothing SO strongly indicates the man
of pure and wholesome thought as habitual
purity of speech. By his conversation
ty accurately form an opinion as to the
moral worth of a man. 1t is there, where
no restraint is supposed to be placed upon
his words, that you discover his true ma
ture. If he be given to looseness Of dis
course, or his mind wanders to the discus
sion of subjects prescribed IN mixed com
pany or respectable society, you may just
~ mark him as one with whom association
is undesirable.

SMALL MEANs.-The power of money is
on the whole over-estimated. The great.
est things which have been for the world
have not been accomplished by rich men,
or by subscription lists, but by men gen.
greatest thinkers, discoveries, inventors
and artists, have been men of moderate
wealth, many of them little raised above
the condition of manual laberers in point
of worldly circumstances. Aud it will al
ways be so. Riches are oftener an impe-
diment than stimulus to action and in
many cases they are quite as much a mis-
fortune as blessing. The youth who in
herits wealth is apt to have life made too
easy for him, and he soon grows stated
with it. Having no special objects to
struggle for, he finds time heavy on his
hands remains morally and mentally
no higher than that of polypus over
which the tide floats.

REMEDY FOR TOoTnAcHE.-The following
application is said to be prompt and generally
efficient remedy for toothache or neuralgia
affections arising from teeth in any state of
decay: Saturate a small bit of clean cotton
with strong solution of ammonia, and apply
it Immediately to the affected tooth. The
pleasing contrast instantaucously produced in
some cases causes fit of laughter, although
guish prevailed. A correspondent of the Sci
6ntlfc AmaSodn says he has used the remedy
for over one year, and obtained sufficient proof
of valuable results to warrant its publication.

Truth is always consistent with itself,
and needs nothing TO help it out; it is al
ways near at hand, sits on our lips, and is
ready to drop out before we are aware a
lie is troublesome, and sets mans inven-
ton on the rack, and one brick needs a
great many more to make it good. 1t is
like building on a false foundation, which
continually stands in need of props to shore
it up, and proves at last moro chargeable
than to have raised substantial building
at first en- a true and solid foundation

CURE Foc WoUNDs.-A man lad finger
nail torn OF, causing very graft pain brown
sugar WAS thrown on a pan OF burning Goals,
and the finger held over the smoke for twenty
inmates. The pain was removed, and in due
time a cure was elected. In Hto!M at Home it
is narrated that a horse seemed to be dying of q
festered wound. Some old shoes were cut mp
in hog trough and set on fire under the horse
SO that the smoke would reach the wound. In
a few hours the swelling began to subside, the
wound discharged, and the horse got well. An
old lady was knitting Stocking. a member
of the family came in with painful wound
She nnraveled the stocking, put the yarn on O
shovel of burning Goals, caused the smoke to
ascend against the wound, giving Immediate
relief. The first thought of ordinary readers is
that of wonder that such "simpeP things
should have such beneficial effects. Instead of
burdcniug the mind with the remembrance of
old leather, and brown sugar, and yarn stock
ings, it is better to ascertain the general prin-
ciples for one may have the most agonizing
sore, and be a thousand miles from old shoe,
or spoonful of brown sugar, or a yarn stock
ing. What then In all eases there was
smoke; out of smoke creosote is made, and
carbolic acid is of the same essential nature
hence the application of these useful substan-
ces to all varieties of wounds, burns and Sores
Their essential nature is twofold they arrest
decay and purify.-Halrs Jou'na, Of Health

INCREASING THE SIZE OF MAdNETs.-The
greatest magnet in the world is said to be
that which was recently exhibited before
the French Academy of Sciences. 1t is
constructed of two armatures placed op-
posite to each other, and each weighing
thirty-tive pounds. These are rigidly con-
nected by heavy crosspieces of copper, and
support cubical contact of soft iron
weighing twenty eight pounds. From
their lower ends, the armatures spread out
and grow thinner, ending in sharp edges.
Secured by screws to the exterior surfaces
of both is thin strip of steel, which takes
a natural curve from one armature to the
other. All the other plates previously
magnetized are placed within and left to
assume natural position, clinging to each
other, Us to the armatures, by their own
elasticity. On using from forty to forty
five layers, it was found that the force re-
NAMED constant, and attained limit of
eleven hundred pounds, which could not
be exceeded with the conditions of arma-
tHre contact, and steel used in the expert
mentA.

ily. The years passed on and brought
many changes; but still regularly as the
quarter came, so also did the ample re-
mittance of this model son and brother.
When the tide of emigration turned to
the Far West, this son was carried with
it to Omaha, where he invested his earn
ings in town lots, which speedily rose in
value and made him a man of wealth. At
least this was the intelligence sent his
mother. Lately, while visiting Auburn,
his parent was invited to make the tour of
the State Prison, and while passing
through the various wards, she accident
ally encountered one whose presence
caused her cheeks to pale and heart to
temporarily stop its beating. 1t was her
son, her good and well-beloved boy, who
for years had been her pride and support;
for moment she was speeches.,
but at length bursting into torrent
of tears in which the prisoner joined, she
said: "Oh. my SON, my son! How came
you hereY His story being told devel-
oped the fact that he had, by trading with
strangers, come into possession of large
quantity Of counterfeit money, and that,
in ignorance of its character, he being on
visit to New York, had attempted to
pass il, had been arrested as chief of a
gang of counterfeiters; and having been
identified as having endeavored to circu-
late 1t, was, in spite Of all evidence of
previous good conduct offered, convicted
and sentenced to serve out a term in the
State prison. His wife, with whom he
was in constant correspondence, had
aided him in keeping his Incarceration
secret from his mother, and had regularly
RENTED the quarterly allowance, together
with letters forwarded from the prison by
him. But for the unfortunate visit the
mother would have remained forever
unaware that her son was serving out
penal sentence for a crime never com
mitted by him. She learned, however,
that by the rise of corner lots he had been
made wealthy man; and when he should
come out of prison, which would be in
few months, he, through the skillful
stewardship of his wife, would find
awaiting him the sum of not less than
$500, 900 in United States bonds. Such
are the vicissitudes of life.-PhiLadelphta

Nathan ROthschild, OF London.

THE high priest Of the Exchange wa
not happy, even in the midst of his over
flowing Golfers. Naturally enough, h,
had few friends and numberless enemies
In later years he suffered In constan
dread of assassination. He was Away
receiving threatening letters, declaring
that his life depended on his sending
certain sums of money to certain ad
dresses. He scented murder in every
breeze, suspected poison in every cup
In sleep, he had nightmare visions Of
erouching things; In waking hours, ht
started at every unexpected noise.
One morning two strangers were an
nounced as having important bushes:
with the banker, and they were shown
into his private Office. He bowed tc
them, and inquired the nature of theil
ing, but advanced toward him, thrustine
their fingers nervously into their pockets
Rothschild's alarm was excited at once
They must be searching for concealed
weapons; their bearded faces made il
clear to his frightened fancy that they
were homicidal ruffians. He retreated in
terror behind large desk, seized pom
derous ledger, hurled it at their heads
and screamed "murderl" at the top Of hit
voice. A small army of clerks poured
into the room, and laid violent hands
on the strangers who proved TO be wealthy
Polish bankers, bringing letters OF intro
duction to the physically timid) lion o.
loans. Embarrassed by his auriferously
august presence-what Is there in q
breathing money bag capable OF inspir
ing awe f-they forgot their speech and
their common GOODNESS of conduct. They
were nearly as much terrified as the re
nowned Israclite; and, as it was their mi
tial visit TO England, they imagined Al
first that all foreigners were deemed rob
bers and desperadoes until the con
trary was established.
The wretchedly- rich Nathan never wen
out alone after dark, never entered an un
lighted room, had servants within call o.
his bed-chamber, slept with loaded pis
tolls under his pillow.
A fellow Frankforter, dining with hin
one evening, and observing the luxury
of his household, remarked: "You mus
be happy, Baron, with the power TO graf
ify every wish"
Happy, indeedp was the response
"Do you think it happiness 10 be haunted
always with the dread of murder, 10 have
your appetite for breakfast shsrpened by
a threat TO stab you TO the heart unles:
you inclose thousand guineas TO some
unknown villains"
On one occasion, when the great finan
cier had been to an evening party, and
had gotten into his carriage TO go home
friend, wishing to make an appoint
ment, stepped out to speak to him. The
timorous banker mistook his familiar
for highwayman, and thrust pistol
out of the carriage window, with his ia
vorite cry Of "Murderr' before he could
be acquainted with the situation.
As Rothschild grew richer and Older
his fears increased. He became almost q
monomaniac on the subject of assassina
ton, and many Of his relatives thoughl
him in serious danger Of insanity through
his constant apprehensions. Most of the
menacing messages were unquestiOnably
sent by his enemies with whom he wa
