With an oath that really was shocking;
Can they sew, or sweep, or cook, or clean,

Wet pepper, it seems, throws off great
quantities of carbonic acid gas. On
board an English steamer in Chinese
port lately, quantity of pepper was ta-
ken on board, part of which had been
wet with ram. Next morning a China
man went into the hold and fell sense
less. Four ERglish sailors went down
to render assistance; they, too, fell sense
less, and finally all five, after a ventila-
ton of the hold, were found dead.

The perfume manufacturers in the de-
partment of the Maratime Alps consume
annually 100000 pounds of roses, and
the neighborhood of Grasses and Cannes
is thickly Sudden with rose farms. On
one hectare of two and half acres
10000 bushes ar planted, a single bush
yielding for twelve years. A single hec-
tare in good cultivation will net an ave-
rage profit of twenty-four per cent. per
year.
NATURAL PHILosoPHY.-Them man who
has given himself to his country loves
it better; the man who has fought for
his friend honors him more; the man
who has labored for his community val
ues more highly the interests he has
sought to conserve; the man who has
wrought and planned and endured for
the accomplishment of Gods plan in the
world sees the greatness of it, the divin-
ity and glory of it, and is himself more
perfectly assimilated to it.
How many people are almost success
full, missing their aim by "Oh, such lit
tleP Minutie in these cases make or
mar us. "If 1 am building a mountain" :"
said Confucius, "and stop before the
last basketful of earth is placed on the
summit, have failed" The examina-
ton is lost by half a mark. One neck
nearer, and the race would have been
won. The slightest additional effort
would have turned the tide.
Resolution" says John
Foster sis omnipotent" He that re-
solves upon any great, and at the same
time, good end, by that very resolution
has sealed the chief barrier to it. He
will find it removing difficulties, search
ing out or making means, giving courage
for dependency, and strength for weak
ness; ; and like the star in the East, to
the wise men of old, ever guiding him
nearer and nearer to the sum Of all per-
feCtion.

Catarrh al
P OI SO N

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Ca
tarrh, explains the following important facts ::
l. That Catarrhal Colds become a
poisonous infection, at first local, and
snally constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond the reach of mere local
remedies.
8. That impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
T. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis,
Leucorrhea. and Consumption.
8. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations,
and InsOluble Snufs, cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the or
gans named.
6. That an antidOEe for Catarrh must
possess an inOculative affinity for, and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories,
DR.. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure
has proved to be infaIlible. 1t not only re-
Eeves, it cures Catarrh at any stage.

a CRUEL HOAX.
Exodus of Deluded Negroes.

ST. LOUIS, March l5.-Large numbers
of negroes recently arrived here from
Vicksburg and other points in Missis-
sippi and Louisiana under the impress
sion, as they say, that they would be
provided with means and subsistence
while here and free transportation to
Kansas, where, on their arrival, they
were to receive lands from the govern
ment, money, mules, plows &c. Several
hundred, perhaps more than thousand,
have already arrived, most of them IN
a destitute condition. and 600 more will
reach here tomorrow by the steamer
Grand Tower. As no such provisions
as above stated have been made Tor
these people, they having evidently
been grossly deceived for some malicious
purpose, and in view ofall the circum-
stances in the case Mayor Overstalz
this afternoon issued a proclamation
warming all persons against coming TO
st. Louis without money 10 support
themselves, and 10 pay their fare to
their destinations No employment can
be obtained here, and there must, Of
necessity, be much suffering and desti-
tution among them. Two or three hun
dred hsd money enough to reach Kan
sas City, and have started for that point.
The Board of Health held meeting this
evening to consider the question, and it
was first thought that all the destitute
should be sent to the quarantine sta
tion, where they could bc sheltered and
fed, but il was finally concluded 10 take
no action at present. The railroad and
steamboat companies disClaim having
had anything to do with the affair, and
the anchor lines have offered Ia take
them back on their boats free. The mat
ter is assuming great Importance, and
what the end will be- no one can tell.
Sr. LoUIS, March l6.-Thc steamer
Grand Tower arrived here to-day with
about 800 more plantation negroes from
the South. Many oi them seemed to be
in comfortable circumstances, as about
one-thirl Of them have boarded the
steamer Fannie Lewis bound for Kansas
CITY, and like number will 60 forward
10 Kansas by rail. The remainder are
now in charge OF the colored benevolent
society here, and will he cared for till
some other disposition can he made Of
them.
