Or. ASA DRESSING FOR WoI7SDs

OH AS A Dressing FOR WOUNDS. -.
DIR. Joseph w. Howe has recently in,
troduced at his hospital ordinary sweet
oil for the treatment of all kinds OF
wounds. 1t has several advantages ovel
any of the other dressings in use and
apparently yields better results. The
advantages are, that it keeps the all
from the wound, and at the same time
is grateful dressing to the patient. II
also promotes healthy granulations.
The mode ofappli0tion varies with the
variety of wounds for which it is in.
tended. In necrosis, after the seques-
trum is removed, the cavity is filled
with the oil, and a lint tent introduced.
Every day the oil is renewed. In one
case of necrosis of the lower jaw this
procedure was had recourse TO, and,
shortly after, the patient was attacked
with facial erysipelas, but, strange to
say, the side of the face which had been
operated upon was not affected. In
incised wounds, the edges are brought
together, and soaked in oil used as an
external dressing.

How He Wanted His Picture Taken.

Yesterday young man with wart
on his nose dropped in at the Sherman
photograph gallery and remarked that
he wanted some pictures taken.
"Win you have it standing, or a
busty" queried the artist.
Bust exclaimed the fellow, as he
picked up his hat. "Bust, Mister! do
| look like a fellow that would come
into picture gallery to get on a bustg'
They explained to him, and finally
persuaded him to sit long enough for d
negative. The picture was good one
and the nose stood out like black caI
in a bay window.
The fellow looked at it, and as he
handed it back, said:
"Shoot again, old pard,T and see i
YOU can't make the wart look like /
piece of chewing gum
They told him that it couldn't b.
done.

A Quiet Smoke.

Julian Hawthorne, IN an article en-
titled "a Peaceful Pipe, says: Reader,
| were unmannerly TO talk thee down
and not to offer thee a smoke for recon-
pense. There lies my pipe ON the little
stand between the windows. The Jap
anese tobacco-box, carved in cunning
figures from a section Of giant bamboo,
stands guard behind it. One flank is
defended by an oddly designed ash re-
ceiver; an ASS head full of matches pro-
tects the other. Over all is shed
genial glow from the crimson cloth,
gold-cdged, which drapes the stand and
fraternizes jovially with the afternoon
sunshine The pipe itself is of unusual
size, carved into the likeness of a human
face; very peculiar face, which pro-
vokcs at once a smile and sigh. In
all these years | have not wearicd of
it. for il is full of ever fresh interest
and suggestion. The features are shaped
by bold hand but guided with mas
terly skill as wellas profound knowledge
and feeling. Uglier the face could not
well be, but with an ugliness thoroughly
human. A brow low and projecting,
the foundation of a pair of curling
rams horns; eyes large, deep-set, ex-
pressive of pathetic weakness; nose
aquiline, albeit broad and flattencd; n
thick. projecting upper lip, and tim
orous, retreating chin. \ weak smile
glimmers over the features, not broad,
hardly mirthful; rather rs if striving TO
reflect the merriment which their I'M
gainliness might excite. Whoever de-
signed this pipe was an artist, and one
who had looked into the human heart.
Well, pick him up and fill his empty
head with brains from the tobacco-box
Tobacco is all his intellect, and smoke
the sole manifestation of the cnkindle-
ment thereof; vet how many orators,
think you, or authors, or pulpit min
isters even, have the art or power to
soothe, beguile, inspire, that this un-
demonstrative but subtly potent en-
chanter possesses? He never speaks;
the greater part of his life he lies cold
and dead upon the table; but the briei
hours of his life are full of fervent fire.
The oftener we are under the spell OF
his voiceless eloquence the oftener arise,
the longing to yield to it again; his mo
notony never bores us because the very
breath of his life comes and goes abso
lutely at our own command. Fill full

empty chambers in this occiput. Now

A VERY ANCIENT WALL IN MIssIs.
sIPrI.-About eighteen miles from Port
Gibson, and one mile from Brandywine
Springs, on the place of Mr.. O'Quin,
the existence of great number OF
blocks of cut-stone has been known for
an indefinite time, and the people in
the neighborhood have them for props
for their houses. Mr.. james Gage.
Jr. went out there few days ago to ex-
plore, and had aspecimen stone brought
into town. 1t is about three feet long
by about twenty inches square, resem-
bling in shape bar of soap II is
probably native sandstone. Mr..
Gage took this block himself from be-
meath the roots of a large pine tree.
Ii formed a portion of wall about
twenty feet broad on top, which Mr..
Gage traced for n distance of 250 wards.
The inference that one would naturally
draw from this superficial view is that
this must have been n city wall, but
deep exploration might show il to be
a portion of a fort, temple or other
building. Anyway, its antiquity is
probably immense, amte-dating the his
tory of the red men-Pot Gibson

Farming in Holland.

The trade of Holland is chiefly con-
fined to agricultural products and fish.
The wide pastures of the island of
Texel feed 1000 horned cattle, | 200
horses, and 10000 sheep which are
celebrated throughout Europe. Every
year $1,000 of the last are exported,
and the quarterly fair is very pic
turesque, when these flocks OF sheep
and lambs are shipped off to the con
tinent. Through the basins of EIar.
lingcn, the port of Fricsland, pass oxen
and sheep, pigs and fowl, with noun.
tains of cheese, fruits and eggs for this
country; here resort the provision
dealers of London, to carry away but.
ter barrels, which are piled up on the
docks like cannon balls in an arsenal.
The canals are filled with heavy look,
ing toiks, or market boats, which bring
the good things of the country down
to the port. Flax is very important
article of cultivation in Friesland; the
market of Dokkum is one of the
largest in Europe. The chief houses
of Germany, France and England
have agents in this little town. The
soil is incredibly rich; and the peasants
are well off; and there are few farmers
who do not own some property in ad-
dition to the land they rent. 1t is
rarely indeed that a tenant is turned
out of his farm; families hold them for
centuries, yet, the lease is only for five
or seven years, and stipulates how many
head of cattle are TO be fed on the
meadow, and how much manure is TO
laid on each acre. Thus the soil is
kept up to wonderful state of fer
tility.-Chanbers' Journal.

FARMING.
We wish we could induce some of
the many planters in Tennessee TO
to change their manner of cultivation
from planting TO farming. Listen-we
hear some say: "Why, what is the diff
ferencey' There is a material differ
cncc in the practice of the two. The
farmer cultivates the land with care
and attention; the planter gives more
attention to cultivating the crop. The
farmer enriches his soil by manures and
rotation Of crop-a rotation of gener-
ally four years; planter allows his
soil to become impoverished, and sci
dom rotates; if he does it is merely
from cotton to corn, and corn to cotton.
Let us take example,
A farmer has five hundred acres of
land; he leaves one hundred acres in
timber for fuel and fencing-thc bal
ance he will divide, if possible, into
eight fields of fifty acres each. Two OF
them he will have in grass, grazed by
stock, thereby gaining in strength and
receiving back the proper substances to
form grain or cotton; two in wheat,
will save him the necessity of purchas
ing breadstufs, and also a surplus tc
supply portion Of his market town
with the same, thus retaining large
amount of money in his section which
otherwise would 90 elsewhere to pur
chase breadstufis; two fields in corn
yields crop which feeds his workin,
working stock, fattens his beef and porl
and enables him to do without purchas
ing his meat elsewhere; two fields o
cotton will then yield sufficient to pa,
his merchant off for clothing and gro
ceries. This is the farmers life, an,
his four hundred acres can be manages
by twelve hands, with ease and comfort
The different crops demand attention
at different points of time.
The planter who has four hmdre
acres under cultivation, of cotton an
corn alone, must have at least twent,
| five hands to work the same, and u
least the same number of work stock
He must purchase his provisions, an
ultimately his net profits will be les
than the farmers.
