The Duke and Duchess OF Edinburgh.
From the London Correspondence of the
Liverpool Daily Couricr.]
Much gossip is afoat respecting the
Duke and Duchess Of Edinburgh. On the
lst of April next the Duke will sail for
the Mediterranean, where he intends to
have two years cruise: About the same
time the Duchess will 20 to Russia, where
she intends to make three months stay,
but, in reality, the date of her return to
England is very uncertain. Now, the
Mediterranean is not like India, where the
Princess of Wales could not very we'll &C.
company her husband, nor is the Duke s
cruise connected with affairs Of state.
The consequence is, people arc asking
why the Duchess does not 60 with he
husband, and spend At least some portion
of her long absence at one Of the numer'
Gus health resorts on the shores Of the
Mediterranean. What makes the mat
ter still more extraordinary, is that tho
Duke and Duchess are discharging their
servants and selling off stock, while East
we'll Park will be completely shut up III
short time. It was expected that the
Duchess would 20 on a visit to her august
parents, hut tho longest period report
fixed for her stay in the Russian capita
was originally three or four weeks.

Man Preferred u tho Wolf.
Eau Claire Free Press. 8th,1


A most singular affair occurred at one Of
II. p. Bucks camps on the Eau Claire on
Sunday last. About ten o'clock Of the
same day the men were astonished by
deer running into camp. painting, and ap'
parently very much exhausted, and COM
ing to full stand, right among the men
and within two feet Of the shanty. The
deer seemed badly scared, not at the men
nor the signs of civilization, but at some.
thing else, and appeared as il he so,tght
protection from the men in some manner.
They Of course were utterly at loss to
understand this most singular action on
the part Of the deer, and commenced lcok.
ing about for the cause, when but a short
distance off they observed four large
wolves, tongues out, eyes glaring, with
all the appearance Of having been on an
extended chase. This made the matter
plan. The deer was hard pressrd, had
probably been chased for hours by the
wolves. which were then just ready to
pounce on him, when, as last resource,
this wild and timid animal sought salty
in man, from whom at any other time
he would fed as from the wolves. 1t was
most singular incident. and shows the
wonderful perfection of instinct--or shall
We call it knowledge--a seemingly perfect
understanding. that under the circum
stances the men would give protection
And they did. They made for the wolves
and they started off as rapidly rs they
came. There is no knowing how lonl
the deer would have remained had not I
dog come out Of the shanty and started j
of in another direction.

For two days before Belknap's arrest his
house was under surveillance by order Of the
attorney general, it being regarded as certain
that he intended to escape to Burmuda.
Gen. Cook testified before the committee
that he had obtained post tradershils through

A Pennsylvania Vaccine Farm.
[From the Franklyn Repository

On farm in Hamilton township, ono
and half miles from Chambersburg, DIR.
r. r. Senseny has stock of one hundred
heifers, from which he is producing con-
finally a stock of fresh vaccine matter.
The process by which this is effected is
interesting, and We were we'll repaid for
driving with the doctor to the farm last
week and witnessing the operation
throughout. The heifers used in this
business arc mostly we'll bred, and con-
sist of either full breed, three.quarters
or half Aldcrny stock. They must be in
thriving condition and from six months
to one year old. They are stall:fed,
kept in clean and we'll ventilated stables,
plenty of clean litter, fresh water and
nutritious food. In other words, the
animal is kept Up to normal, healthy and
thriving standard.
First Hcifers arc secured by strapping
them down to a rock, on the back, with
each leg secured to strong strap around
the body and the head tied down. Then
they arc shaved around the udtler and
vaccinated in from ten to thirty places, in
order to produce vcsiclcs ofvaccinia. On
the eighth Or ninth day the vesicles arc
ready to tap in order to secure virus.
This is done in four ways 1st. Quilts. I'd.
Ivory points. Sd. Lymph tubes. Quills
arc as follows: The goose.quill is taken,
boiled, filed out and scrapcd, and then
dipped into the fluid lymph and thus
charged for use. I'd. The ivory point;
each point is dipp ID into the liquid thus
and charged as an Indian charges his
poisoned arrow.
Lymph tubes are long glass cylinders
which arc filled with the fluid lymph, and
arc then shut UP by sealing each end
with wax. In using the quilts or point,
upon human beings, the quilts are mois'
tened, and when the alb, aston has been
made on the arm, the quilts or points, as
the case may be, arc rubbed briskly upon
the abraded surface, and thus inocula
ton of the true vaccinia is produced
This is the true Jcnnerian system.
] In order to secure crusts of the true
! vaccinia, the hcifer is allowed to rcmail
untouched for about sixteen or eightcel
days, at which time the vcsiclcs hav'
maturcd into hardened scabs or crusts o
virus, and may then be removed. Eaci
crust is then wrapped in gold or silve
foil, and is then ready for shipment t.
any part Of the world. This virus is nov
being sent to every State in the Union
to every Territory, to Canada, Cubs
South America, and to all the State
OF Mexico and Central America.
One great advantage in using anims
vaccine as preventive Of that drcadft
disease, smallpox, is, that there is n
possibility Of inoculating the huma
system with any constitutional disorde
risk which most persons fear to enta
upon themselves or their offspring whe
vaccination is demanded, and the onl
. virus to be had is from human crust
Human crusts may be good and pure, b'
VIC know that often they arc not, hcnt
the safeguard is animal vaccine.
