use as much of it as is necessary to make
a rather soft dough, mixing and knead-

Fort Smith Independent; An old man
named Lebow, a villain, murderer and
horse-thief, vas hung by a party of men
last week in Polk county, for foully muir
dering two men who we're travelling in
the direction Of Hot Springs. Lebow
has been a terror to the citizens of Polk
county for many years. Living on the
public highway, many travellers have
lost their horses, and many their lives.
by the hands of Lebow, who has been
employing his time for years in murder
and highway robbery. Travellers have
been warned to shun his house and avoid
him in every way, and now hat he has
departed for that undiscovered country,
the citizens of Polk county are at rest.

LONDON, August l3.-The Daily News
correspondent at Sistova, under date oil
Saturday, corrects his recent summary
Of the situation. He now states that
General DrOgemirof is in Ternoya and
not before Loyatzi. Prince Mirsky is
entrenched before Selvi, aud after the

doubtful whether the Balkan passes will

CoNsrAYTIYoPLE, August l3-It is
stated on good authority that Musuros
Pasha, the Turkish ambassador at Lon.
don, recently wrote to the porte that he
had reason to believe the British govern
ment would shortly ask authorization for
a feet to enter the Bosphorus on certain
contingencies in order to protect the
Christians. It is said the porte replied
that the feet could only come as On
avowed ally of Turkey; and it is also as
serted, though on doubtful authority, that
this reply was withdrawn on the ener-
getic remonstrences of Layard, the Brit
iah representative at Constantinople.

A Orug lhal cures nn,nfnlna,.

We should hardly expect to find
in the materia medica a cure for
bashiulness, says the Journal of
Chemistry, but coca Tor cuca, as
some prefer to call it,, which has
lately attracted considerable atten.
ton in professional circles, is said
to answer this purpose. According
TO DIR. W. Tanner, whatever may
have been said from time to time
about the effects Of cuca on the
human system this much is certain,
that it causes timid people, who are
usually i'll at ease in society, and
particularly SC before strangers, to
appear to good advantage under
these circumstances. In other
words, it cures bashfulness. Its
effects on depression of spirits, he
says, are what might be expected
from drug whose action is "energy,
giving and bashfulness curing" He
has not, seen any corresponding
mental or physical depression at.
tending its after effects. It's action
may be largely increased by combin.
ing 1t with an alkali. It may bC
that the alkali dissolves somes O
its active principles that otherwise
would remain undissolyed.
