New Anesthetics Discovered.

DR.. Otto Leibreieh, the famous German
physician, lately applied a:priori princi-
pies to medicine, and was rewarded with
discovery which, though not yet pur.
sued to it's ultimate consequences, has al.
ready been shown to possess great value.
The application of his investigation was,
in the first instance, to chloral-hydrate.
He has more lately, through a series of
experiments, brought to lii ht some four
or five new anesthetics. A correspond.
ent of the New York Graphic, who sub.
jected himself to the influence of these
drugs. under the supervision of the dis.
coverer. describes the sensations in late
number of that journal. A mixture of

The Decline Of Partisan Journalism

The Decline of Partisan Journalism
One of the most noticeable passages in

Deadly Insects.
rFrom the Cincinnati Gazette.1

From the Cincinnati Gazette
The bufalo-gnat is accredited with &C.
casioning q wide spread mortality among
the horses and mules Of West Tennessee.
Many farmers have lost all their working
stock at a season Of the year when they
can least afford to do without them. The
bite of this insect seems as deadly as
that of the African tsetse, the pest Of all
travellers in South Africa. Man and wild
animals appear to be invulnerable to the
tsetse, but camels, dogs, oxen, and
horses cannot long survive it's attacks. In
one expedition DR.. Livingstone lost forty
three oxen from this cause. He was
inclined to believe that the ass
was bite.proof, but the expert.
ence of his last journey convinced
him that he was in error. The donkey,
though not SO susceptible as some Of the
other animals above mentioned, still sue"
cumbs before the little brown fly with
yellow stripes. Its.proboscis pierces the
skin of it's victims, and draws thence a
plentiful supply of blood. No special
harm at first seems to have been done,
but in few days the eyes and nose Of
bitten animal begin to run; swelling
makes its appearance under the jaw; the
muscles grow weak, and finally the di.
gestive organs are disordered and death
soon follows. When dissected, the cellu-
lar tissue under the shin is found to be in
jected with air, as if soap-bubbles were
scattered over it. We have not vet re.
ceived full details Of the operations of
the Tennessee insect. but whatever it is,
its ravages are quite like those o. the
tsetse.

then the remainder Of The week will be
taken up by: counsel for the defendant in
placing their testimony before the iury.
Ex-Judge Porter will commence his ad.

take the whole of the week in presenting
his view of the case on behalf of defend,
ant. The address of Evarts, which will
be commenced on Monday, the 23d inst.
will probably occupy the remainder Of
the month and run over into June, and if
nothing unforeseen takes place the whole
of the summing up, including the address
of Beach on behalf of the plaintiff, will be
finished by the end of the first week in
next month. Beach does not expect to
take up more than three days in the pre-.
senting of plaintiffs side of the case to
the jury. Then will follow the charge Of
Judge Nelson and the deliberations bv
the jury, and the verdict may be looked
for by the middle of next month.

SPEAK BOLDLY.

The Age is truths wide battlefield.
The Day Is struggling with the Night:
For freedom hath again revealed
A Marathon OF holy right.

Treads onward with his iron heel:
Strike steady with giant blow,
And flash aloft the polished steel:
re true, Q Hero! to thy trust,
Man and thy God both look to thee!
be true, or sink away to dust;
Be true, or hence to darkness flee.
Speak boldly, Prophet! Let the free

Where Baal's priests and seers conspire

BE trle, Q Prophet! Let thy tongue
speak fearless, for the words are thine:
W0fos that BY morning stars were sung,
Speak boldly, Poetl Let thy pen
Be Aerved with fire that will not die:
Speak for the rights Of bleeding men
Who look to Heaven with fearful eve.
Be true, 0 Poet! Let thy name
BE honored where the weak have trod.
And in the summit Of thy fame,
Be true to Man, Be true to God!
Speak boldly, Brothers.! Wake and come!
The Anakim are pressing on!
In Freedom 3 strife be never dumb!
Grid flashing blades till all is wont
Be true, 0 Brothers. Truth is strong!
The foe shall sink beneath the sod:
While hope and bliss shall thrill the song:
That Truth to Man is Truth to God.

THE TEACnER,s DREAM.

Inc lOllOWlng poem by Prot. VIII. Venable,
OF Cincinnati, has received the most ftattering
speaking of it in terms of unqualified admira-
ton. Mr.: Venable has expressed it in feel
ing that all teachers OF the young must at one
time or another have felt. They are fortunate
il, like him, they could see in vision the re-
suit ftheir labors:
The weary teacher sat alone
While twilight gathered on;
And not sound was heard around
The boys and girls were gone.
The weary teacher sat alone,
Unnerved and pale was he;
Bowed meath yoke of care, he spoke
In sad soliliquy:
another round, another round
Ut labor thrown away
Another chain Of toll and pain
Dragged through q tedious day.
t'Of no avail is constant zeal,
Loves sacrifice is loss,
The hopes Of morn, so golden, turn,
Each evening, into dross.
Il squander on barren field
My strength, my life, my all;
The seeds SOW will never grow,
They perish where they fall"
His aching brow he presr;
And DER his frame erelong there came
A soothing sense of rest.
And then he lifted up his face,
But started back aghast,-
The room by strange and sudden change
Assumed proportions vast.
1t seemed Senate hall, and one
Addressed listening throng;
Each burning word all bosonls stirred,
Applause rose loud and long.
The 'wildered teacher thought he knew
The speakers voice and look,
*'And for his name," said he, 1.-THE same
Is in my record book"
The stately Senate hall dissolved,
A Church rose in its place,
Wherein there stood man of God,
Dispensing words Of grace.
And though he spoke in solemn tone,
And though his hair was gray,
The teacher 5 thought was strangely wrought
II whipped that boy .to-day?'
The church, a phantasm, vanished soon;
What saw the teacher then?
In classic gloom of allowed room
An author piled his pen.
my idlest lad !" the teacher said,
Filled with new surprise
"Shall behold his name enrolled
Among the great and wise 2"
The vision of cottage home
The teacher now deserted;
A mothers face illumed the place
Her influence sanctifed.
"a miracle! miracle
This matron well know,
Was but wild and careless child,
Not half an hour ago.
<'And when she to her children speaks
OF duty's golden rule,
Her lips repeat, in accents sweet,
My words to her at school,"
The scene was changed again, and 10,
The school, house rude and old,
Upon the wall did darkness tall,
The evening air was cold.
"a dream !" the sleeper, waking, said,,
Then paced along the floor,
And, whistling slow and soft and low,
He locked the school-house door.
And, walking home, his heart was full
O peace and trust and love and praise;
And singing slow and soft and low,
He murmured, "After many days"
