A HINT TO DYspEprIcs.-We have
seen dyspeptics who saffered untold tor
ments with almost every kind OF food.
No liquid could be taken without suffer
ing bread became burning acid !;
meat and milk were solid and liquid
fires. We have seen these same suffer
ers trying to avoid food and drink, and
even going to the syringe for susten-
ance. And have seen their torments
pass away and their hun relieved by
living upon the white Of eggs which had
been boiled in bubbling water for thirty
minutes. At the end of the week we
have given the hard yelk of the egg,
with the whith the white, and upon
this diet alone. without fluid OF any
kind. we have seen them begin to gain
flesh and strength, and refreshing sleep.
After weeks Of this treatment they
have been able, with care, to begin upon
food,-Medical Journal.

ABB and G combine their means and
credit to make corner in July. They
therefore quietly begin in May to buy
corn to be delivered in July. They
gradually buy all the corn in the mar
ket, and, of necessity, must buy all
that arrives, paying for the latter what
ever is demanded. When purchase is
thus made, seller and buyer put up a
margin, either in cash, or certificate, or
deposit. As soon as the corner becomes
known, there is an effort made to break
it. The settlement takes place at 3p.
m. on the last day of the month. Those
who have sold corn to the corner and
have no corn to deliver, pay the differ
ence between the price at which they
sold, and the ruling price at the close
of business on the last day. AS the cor
ner has thus purchased sometimes five
times as much corn as there IS to be
had, amounting to millions of bushels,
and the price has advanced ten cents q
bushel, the profit is enormous. AS the
prices advance, additional margins are
required. Those failing to put up the
additional margins, lose what they have
already put up. The anti.corntr fac
tions seek to so crowd sales on the cor
ner as to exhaust its capital and credits,
and render it unable to buy at the ad-
vance prices. Thus, the corner is com
pelled to send out in the country and
buy for cash all the corn in sight, to
prevent having it rushed into Chicago
at the last moment. These are exciting
times. Corn at such moment may be
purchased of the corner for shipment,
from six to fifteen cents bushel less
than it is selling for on Change for de-
livery during the month. Each time
there is corner, there is q crash,
sometimes of the corner men, and at
other times of the anti-corner men.
The whole proceedings are OF such
questionable honesty, that the legisla'
ture of Illinois has declared the opera
ton of q corner to be felony. 1t is
nevertheless still practiced. Corners
are attempted in wheat, oats, barley,
pork, and lard, and some Of them have
been quite successful in a pecunlary
way. It requires nerve, audacity, and
money, or credit. Recently a bank
here went into corner, issuing its GER
tificates of deposit for margins; the
corner failed, and so did the bank, and
the certificates have never been paid

RICE is becoming favorite crop in
some sections of the south. 1t costs
1856. 40 to cultivate and send to market
an acre of rice, yielding 1000 pounds
of clear grain, which sells for $S4. The
profit is about $1,000 per acre, and the
crop is not difficult one to grow.

FAYETTE COUNTY, Tennessee, is said,
in the report Of the department of
agriculture, to have suffered very
great loss of mules and horses last
spring by the buffalo gnat. The best
remedy against these pests is to put the
stock at once in a dark stable, to be
kept filed with smoke. "Death," says
the report, doubtless is parity caused
by the loss Of blood, but mainly by
poisoning the circulation"

THE MARKETS,

The King street market, this morn.
ing, was largely supplied, and exten-
sive array of various fruits and vegeta
bles looked pleasing and attractive.
The vegetable season is now at its
height. and as consequence the mar
kets are now unusually well attended,
while the prices received cause smiles
of satisfaction to prevail on the coun-
tenances Of those who sell.
In the berry line, black and raspber.
ries still continue to appear at 12 and 10
cents per quart, while huckelberries
are coming in profusely, at 10 and 10
cents per quart.
In vegetables, corn, tomatoes, pota-
toes, squashes, and egg plants are the
latest arrivals, and are unusually fine in
size and appearance. The tomatoes,
In particular, are large and firm, and
the remark was frequently made that
this year, ut least, Delaware is beating
the whole country on tomatoes. They
are now selling at 20@25 per half
peck.
Apples were in great abundance and
variety, though few of them, as yet,
seem to be of very good quality. They
range from 8 to 20 cents per half peck
according to size and variety.
Peaches are of better size and quality
than have yet appeared, and therefore
people are buying more readily. The
prices, however, are still too high for
general consumption, and the ordinary
run OF people can't afford to pay %
and 30 cents per half peck for early
peaches to cat. Next week, in all
probability, the market will be full of
peaches and prices much lower
Watermelons are quite plentiful but
strangely enough seem to go off slowly
They sell from 90 to GO cents each, ac
cording to size, but until the urchins
can buy good sized melons for 5 ant
and 10 cents piece, the consumption
will not be very large. Canteloupes
come in slowly, and sell for and II
cents piece.
OF all the other produce that go tC
make up full market, there was ar
abundance, and the current prices pre-
vailed.

The grave is on a hill half a mile
southwest of the town, in view and on

procession was arranged in a double
circle around the grave, leaving al
open space about two hundred feet il

'The very many political followers of

has it been since Mr.. O'Byrne's path led
right to the enemy's camp in search of
negro votes ? Would very many" of the
Democrats of Delaware have followed
him there? We think not. In fact the
voters to whom Mr.. O'Byrne alludes,
stubbornly refused to follow him in the
Advertiser, and he wisely concludes as
"the mountain would not come to Ma
homet, why Mahomet would come to the
mountain;" and so Mr.. O'Byrne, from
being negro suffrage leader in Della
