BLOOD CoLoRING MATTER FREE FRoM
IRoN.-MM. Paquelin and Jolly an
nounce that they have obtained the heRatic
pigment in a state of perfect purity and
free from iron. Hematosine, as it is term
ed, burns without ash, similar to resinous
substances. It is insoluble in pure water,
and dissolves in small proportion in AMMO
niacal water, to which ii gives a light ycl-
low tinge. IL is altered by potash and
caustic soda solutions, to which It gives a
brown color, and is lightly soluble in alco-
hol The solvents of hcmatosine are ether,
chloroform, benzine, and bisulphide of
carbon. With these bodies the weak solu-
tion is amber-colored; when concentrated,
red.

LAuGH AND BE HEALTHY.-The ply.
siological benefit of laughter is explained
by DR.. L. Hecker in the Archiv fur Ply.
chiairie: The comic-like tickling causes
reflex action Of the sympathetic nerve,
BY which the caliber Of the vascular por-
tions Of the system is diminished, and their
nervous power increased. The average
pressure Of the cerebral vessels on the
srain substance is thus decreased, and this
is compensated for by the forced expira-
tion Of laughter, and the larger amount Of
blood thus called to the lungs. We always
feel good when we laugh, but until now
we never knew the scientific reason why.

No SoNas HEARD THERE.-A recent
traveller says:-"What always imprssses
more than anything else in Egypt and
Palestine has been the entire absence Of
cheerful and exhilarating music, especially
from the children. You never hear them
singing in The huts never heard a song
that deserves the namo in the streets or
houses Of Jerusalem. One heavy burden
Of yoiceless sadness rests upon the forsaken
land. The daughters Of music have been
brought low. The mirth Of the tabres
ceaseth, the noise o. them that rejoice
endeth; the Joy Of the harp ceaseth r.

sELr.-say nothing respecting yourself
either good, bad, or indifEereut--nothing
good, for that Is vanity; nothing bad, for
that is aifectation; nothing Indifferent, for
that is silly.

If you desire to enjoy life avoid I'M
punctual persons; they impede business
and poison pleasure. Make 1t your own
rule not only to be punctaal, but little
beforehand. Such habit secures com
posure which is essential 70 happiness.
For want Of II many persons live in oon-
stant fever, and put all about them in a

WM. looTs got obstroperous the
other day. 1t tappcars that "sweet
William" had no visible means OF
support, and as he is Of that pecu
liar temperament which abhors
anything like work, he was ordered
to quit his abiding place, and seek
new pastures. To this he objected,
and sworc in his wrath, while bran
dishing shotgun, "By the Prince
Of Noudoo, I'll shoot de fuss man
what tools wld me-" Our Biiah
interviewed and persuaded him,
leave the matter to Esq. Z. a. Gar
lick, who, on getting all the facts
in the case, told William the coun-
ty was in need Of n reliable person
.to take charge of the jail; William
said he'd take the job at two dol
lars a day, and bargain was
struck. And yet William is not
happy.
WE take the liberty to publish
the following postscript, from q

is SO hattcring in its character,
excepting whcrc they intimate that
wc must have been charged with
antidotc for snake bite, before
starting OH that fishing excursion,
that we must give our readers the
benefit of it, and by way of expla-
nation add that our dulcina,
who accompanied US on that mem
orial occasion, was the sole cause
Of our iorgeuulness:
"P. S.-Excuse US for little bit
of commcndation or what Is more
generally dcnominated nattery.
Among the great number Of news
papers that we receive at our Of
flee, there is none looked for with
more interest than the Osceola
TINES. 1t is one Of those little ar
romauc casSes, ddmfcaR sort, that
treats things as they are, looks
upon the bright side of life and
makes the most out Of the stock
on hand, and if 1t ever sees the
dark side Of the picture, some one
else must turn the sheet. How we
would like TO have been with YOU
on that fishing excursion; but ex-
cuse us for differing with you in
one respect, and that is this: no one
capable of getting up such a paper
as the Osceola TINES, was ever for
getful enough to 60 on a fishing
excursion in Arkansas and forget
the antidote for snake bites, unless
his system was thoroughly charged
before starting. l.. d W.

Projected Railroad.

The Brownsville Bee, in speaking of
the projected Brownsville Il Tennessee
narrow gauge railroad which. if built,
will be extended to Cairo. says: Not
the veriest old fogy has ever yet given
mp the road. Our circumstances. for the
past two years, have been such that we
could not do anything for il. and have
quit talking about il. almost in weary
disgust. Even the Bee has been COM
paratiyely quiet on the subject, after hay
ing said enough, If every line were a
crosstie, TO lay the track from Holly
Springs to Cairo, but now we propose to
meet the question fairly aud build the
road. On the line to Friendship we
have the best road bed in the
State. The embankments have stood I'm.
til they are settled and solid some little
damage has been done by the rains, but
that can be easily repaired, and when the
track is once laid it will stay there. Now
is the best time in the world 10 complete
the work. Iron can be bought cheaper
than ever before timber is abundant all
along the line and labor is plentiful all
through the country. Let u 90 to work
and run the cars TO Friendship by the
first day of November, 1873. Then we
may depend upon it, the road will go on
to Cairo and Il st. Louis connection. Then
we will look southwark
