Soothing Syrup was just the article needed

ing home and acquainting his wife with
what he had done, she refused to have it
administered to the child, as she was
strongly in favor Of homeopathy. That
night the child passed in suffering and the
parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the
baby still worse; and while contemplating
another sleepless night, the mother stepped
from the room to attend to some domestic
duties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered por-
ton OF the Soothing Syrup to the baby
and said nothing. That night all hands
slept well, and the little fellow awoke In
in the morning bright and happy. The
mother was delighted with the sudden and
wonderful change, and although at first Of

NEW DIVING APPARATUS.

A certain NJ. Fleuss, a young Ger
man, who hasfor some time been in the
service Of the Peninsular and Oriental
Steamboat Company, claims to have
invented an apparatus by the aid of
which he can remain under water for
five hours o. more, without any means
Of communication with the surface.
He asserts, in short, thathe has solved
the problem of submarine locomotion.
His apparatus consists of an ordinary
Divers dress, with the usual helmet
and "goggle" eyes, which, hideous as
they may look, have, at any rate, this
advantage, that they are constructed
upon a|scertained mathematical princi-
Piles, and enable the diver to see I'M
der water as distinctly as he could
upon dry land. Hitherto the diver,
in his diving dress, has been subject
to a very serious drawback. He has
been forced to connect himself with
the surface by a tube, through which
a fresh supply Of air has had to be
diligently pumped down. The least
accident to the pumping apparatus, or
to the tube, would involve the most
serious and immediate danger, and
the diver has always been obliged to
make his way about with the greatest
circumspection !; taking, indeed, every
step with the most extreme caution,
lest some sudden mishap should rup-
ture the tube that supplies him with
fresh air, or should otherwise check
his communication with the surface.
NJ Fleuss in using his new apparatus
will be liable to no such anxiety.
Carrying with him a supply Of com
pressed oxygen, he will need no
:. pumping service on the surface ofthe
water, and no length Of tubing to CON
meet him with the upper atmosphere.
Thus unencumbered, he will be com
paratively free'in his movements. It
has, indeed, been claimed for him
that he differs from the ordinary diver
!. as an animal differs from a plant The
j, animal being capable of locomotiion,
while the plant is fixed in the soil.
The parallel is an ingenious'one and
tits easy to see that q diver provided
with a sufficient supply Of pure Soxy-

s3lf pereecuted by the crew, and hated
alike by the crew and officers, it was
thought he had left us all in disgust
Another boatswain's mate took his
place on the gu:-deck. but Dobbins
had left great hole i'll the air which
his euccessor bnt partially filed.
But a few days had passed
when some OF us were out in the launch
getting up cage. At little distance
from us we perceived there was some
thing on the surface of the water which
attracted the notice of the birds, who
kept diving down, rising in the air,
and then alighting again. till quite a
swarm of them were gathered there.
The men took little notice oft but,
when we had finished cur work, the
Midshipman in command of the boat
gave orders to head for the place where
the birds were fiocking in such great
numbers.
As we approac' ed the spot the birds
rose from the water, giving us clear
view of the object which vas floating
on the surface. It was the blue, swollen
corpse of Big Dobbins.
The body was much decayed, and
taking it into the boat was no pleasant
job. AS we dragged the huge carcass
over the side of the launch the flesh
tore, and huge chunks OF it came off in
our hands.
The body was taken on board the
frigate, wrapped in the American flag,
and deposited on the Iarbord side Of the
gun-deck, where, when living the de
ceased had been accustomed to pursue
his daily walk.
No one went to view the remains.
There was 10 Marc Antony to mourn
the death ofthe Cesar. He was soon
buried on the Island of San Lorenzo, at
the mouth of the hsrbor ofCalIao, where
more than a dozen of our crew were al.
ready sleeping IN their sandy g,aves.
Whether Dobbins commit ell suicide
or fell overheard accidertly will never
be known. Some of the crew whispered
their suspicious that he had heen gagg-
ed during the night and thrown over

that the sentinel on duty at the gang.
way never perceived his plunge into
the water. Perhaps he did perceive it,
aud kept his own counsel, for Big Doh
bins had no friends on board that fri

The london Telegraph says that
Berlin has just kearne1 to its astoEisl,-
nent and qualification, from a report
OF the Polytechnic Society's latest meet
lug, that within its walls reposes a
treasure of almost fabulous wealth, .he
very existence of which has been hither-

above named society is the enviable
owner Of the largest sapphire in the
world-a stone weighing nearly fifteen
ounces. Pure sappl,ires of good color
hold so high a rank i'll the gem market
that, were this gigantic jewel of the
fir.t water, It would be worth no less a
sum than g3 ,200, 900. It is, however,
not absolutely free from impurities, q
fact which materially dim,nishes its
practical va 'ue, but enormous bids for it,
made at different times by German
Princes and wealthy mineraloglsts, have
