Deaths by Scalding and Burning.
We still see reported, almost daily, an ap
palling number of deaths by burns and scalds,
not one of Which we take it upon ourselves to
say nerd prove fatal, or would do so, if a few
pounds of wheat flour could be promptly ap
plied to the wounds made by fire, and repeated
till the inflammatory stage had passed. ,We
have never known a fatal case of scalding or
burning, in which this practice has bten pur
sued, during more than 30 years' experience.
and having treated hundreds in both public
and private practice. We have known the
most extensive burns, by falling into caul
drons of boiling oil, and even molten copper,
and yet the patients were rescued by this sim
ple and cheap'reinetly-, which from its infalli
ble.success should supplant all the fashionable
nostrums, whether oil, cotton. lead-water, ice,
turpentine or pain extractors, every one of
which ha 's been tried a thousand times with a
fatal result, and the victims have died in ex
criltiating agony, when a few handsfull of
flour would have calmed them to sleep, and
rescued them from pain and death., Humani
ty should prompt the profession to publish
and re-publish the facts on this subject, which
are established ,by the authority of standard
medical works on both sides of the Atlantic.
Flour is the remedy, and the only one, in se
vere cases of scalding and burning. casualties
which else so often destroy life. Let us keep
it before the people, while the explosion of
steam boilers and burning fluid lamps are so
rife all over the country.—pmerican Medical

VALCATILE RECIPE FOR
experienced whitewasher sends us the follow
ing recipe 'for making a brilliant and durable
wash, which he has tested hymany years' use.
and assures us is never-failing. It is worth a
year's subscription to any of our readers, but ,
we give it to theni for nothing :
This article, as ordinarily made, rubs off the
walls after it becomes dry, soiling clothes and
everything coming in contact with it. This
may be obviated by slackening the lime in
cold water, stirring it meanwhile, and then
applying—after dissolving in water—White
Vitriol (Sulphate of Zinc) in the proportion of
4 pounds to a bushel of good lime, making it
the consistency of rich milk. The Sulphate of
Zinc will cause - the wash to harden and to
prevent the lime from ruhhing off. B. 11. B.

are Words which now fill the-vaults of heaven
with their stirring-demands, - and make human

Advance. or stand aside do not block up the

is something for all to do : the world is becom
ing mute and move known, wider in magni
tude, closer in interest, more loving and more
eventful than of old. Not in deeds of daring
-not in the ensanguined field : not in chains and
terrors ; not in blood and tears, and gloom :
but in the leaping, vivifying, exhileratiug im

Fishes and their Migrations.
3 , From an interesting article iii — the April
number -of Putrinni's Menak4.entitled "Was
tine in Motion," we clip the following4ara
,
graphs : -
For known and for unknown purposes, in
the tiny monntain brooks and in the wide
ocean, f s'les are seen in unceasing nation,
darting in all directions, traveling now single
and now in shoals: Their regular journeys are
mostly undertaken for the purpose of spawn
ing ; the delicate mackerel movet southward
when its' time comes, and the beautiful sardine
of the Mediterranean goes in - spring westward,
and returns in autumn'to the east. • The stur
geon of: northern 'Europa is seen singly to
ascend the - great rivers of the continent, and
the ornal or Migratory salmon of the polar
seas travels, we know not how, through river
and lake, up into -Baikal; and there swims, in
whimsical alternations, but always in immense
crowds, first on the southern and then on. the
northern bank. The travels of the Salmon are.
probably best known; because the fish was a
favorite already in the days of Pliny. and 'Yet,
strange enough, is found in every sea in the
Arctic, near the equator, and off New Holland,
only not in the Mediterranean. They press iii
large, triangular masses up all the great
northern rivers of Europe. Asia, and America.
They enter Bohemia with Shakespeare by, sea,
sailing up , the river Elbe ; s they approach
Switzerland in the green waters of- the Rhine,
a,pd even the foot of the Cordilleras by a sjour=
ney of 3,000 miles up the .Amazon ! Their
crowds are not unfrequently so-dense that they
actually stem for awhile the current Of mighty
rivers ; still these bands are formed -with, great
regularity. The strongest and largest females
lea, followed by others of the same sex,
traveling two and two at regular intervals ;
after them come the males in like order. W its
a noise like the distant roaring of a storm, they
rush up the stream, now sporting in easy,
graceful motion, and now darting ahead _with
lightning speed that the eye can not follow.
Do they come to some rock or wall that im
pedes their way, they leap with incredible
force, and repeat the effort until. they have,
overcome the difficulty ; it is even said that, at
the foot of the cateracts, they will-take their
tail in their mouth, and then suddenly letting
it go, like-an elastic spring, rise twelve or fif
teen fee tin -the air.- And thus they travel on,
undismayed and unfired, until tjiey have found
a suitable place for depositing their eggs, and
with the same marvelous inAinet- return, year
after year.- to the distant ocean. * *. * '
• The herring is a small. insignificant fish, yet
it gives food to millions", and employment to
not less than 3.000 decked vessels, not to speak
of all the open boats employed-in the same
fishery. Where their home is,, man does not
know ; it is only certain. that they are not met
with beyond a-certain degree of northern lati
tude, and that the genuine herring never en-'
ters the Mediterranean, and hence remained un
known to the ancients. In April and June, all
of a sudden, innumerable masses wear in. the
northern seas, forming vast banks, often thirty
miles, long and ten miles wide. Their depth
has never'been satisfactorily ascertained', and
their denseness may be judged by the fact,
that lances and harpoons thrust in between
them sink not and move pot. remain standing
upright ! Divided into bands, herrings also
move in - a certain order. Long before their
arrival, already their coming is noticed by the
flocks of sea-birds that watch them - from on
high, while sharks are seen to sport around
them, and a thick oily or slimy substance is
spread over their columns, coloring the sea in
daytime, and shining with a mild, mysterious
light in a dark, still night. The sea•ape, the
"monstrous chimera" of the learned, prvcedes
them, and is hence by fishermen palled the king
of - the herrings. Then there are first seen
single males, often three or four days in. ad
vance of the great army ; next follow the
strongest and largest, and after them enormous
shoals, countless like the sand on the sea-shore
and the 'stars in heaVen. They seek places
that abound in stones and marine plants,
where to spawn, and like other animals they
frequent the localities to which they have be
come accustomed, at a regular time, so that
they may be expected as surely' as the sun
rises did sets.
Other fishes have strange peculiarities con
nected with their travels.. Thus, we are told
that the mackerel spend their winter in. what
would appear to others, a most uncomfortable
position. In the Arctic as well as in the Medi
terranean, as soon as winter,comes. they de
liberately plunge their head and the anterior
part of o their body into deep mud, keeping their
tails erected, standing straight up. The posi
tion they do not change until spring, when
they emerge, in incredible numbers, from their
hiding-places and go southward' for the pur
pose of depositing their eggs in more genial
waters. Still they are so firmly wedded to
this element that they die the instant they are
taken out of the water, and then shine with
phosphorescent light.
The eel is , the strangest of traveling fishes
he even performs journeys on land. In hot,
dry summers, when ponds and pools are ex
hausted, he boldly leaves his home. and wind
ing through thick grass. makes his Way by
night to the nearest water. Ile is a great
gourmand. moreover, and loves young tender
peas so dearly that he will leave the river it
self and climb up : steep banks to satisfy his de
sire, and, alas !o fail into snares of wicked
men. Other fish tiiirsel in large crowds all
night long, and a perch in Tranque bar not only
creeps on shore, but actually climbs up tall
fan-palms, in :pursuit of certain shell-fish, -
which form its favorite food. Covered with
viscid slime, he glides smoothly over the
rough bark '; spines, which he may sheath and
unfold at will, serve him like hands to hang
by, and with the aid of side fins and a power
ful tail he pushes himself upward, thus com
pleting the strange picture of fish and shell
fish dwelling high on lofty trees.

Serving in the Penitentiary by Deputy.
We have once or twice (says the Endianapo•
lis Journal) alluded to the case of Muir, the
rich rascal of Ripley county, who was lately
sentenced to the penitentiary for forgery. We
find the following anecdote of him in the Law
renceburgh Press:
Old Mr. Muir, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary from Jennings county lately, is a
pretty hard case. Ile has long went nnwhipt
of justice. We believe the Ripley folks had
about given up trying to convict the old man.
Since his conviction, a good one is told on
the old man, exhibiting his dogged stubborn.
ness. It runs thus: A friend of Muir, after
his conviction, asked him now it happened,
as he had certainly extricated himself from
several harder cases than this one. "Oh,"
said the old man, "my witnesses thought they
could extort ten dollars a piece for swearing
me out of the scrape. when I never, in all my
life, paid over five dollars. and have frequently
only paid 50 for the best kind of swear
ing. Five dollars is all it is worth. It is a
liberal price. I told them I would see them
in Tophet before I would pay over five. lam
determined to let such villains know that they
cannot practice their vile extortions upon old
Muir.
"Why don't von think a fellow asked me
P. 320 per month to serve my time out in the
penitentiary. I told him I would give him
r.s..E. ) .—and not one cent more, for it is all it is
worth. The labor would not be as hard as
I making staves or girdling pear trees. My

"If you will promise me to let me - have all
the wood f want, more or less," says I, "even
if it is ever so !ittle, or a s much . as thirty cdrels,
at ten dollars a cord, real rock maple, and yel
low birch,-then I will take all your mackerel
at three dollars and-a half, money down."
"Say four." said he.
"No," said I, "you say you can't get but
thige and a half at Halifax, and I won't beat
you down, or advance one cent myself. But
mind, if I oblige yoii by buying all your mack
erel. you must oblige me' by letting me belie all
the wood I want."
"Done," said , he : so we warped into the
wharf, took the fish on board, and I paid him
the money, and cleared fifteen pounds by the
operation.
"Now;" says T. "where is the wood ?"
"Ail this is mine," said ho, pointing to a pile,
containingnbout fifty cords.
•Can I have it all," said T, "if I want it ?"
He took off his cap and scratched his head—
scratching helps a wan to think amazingly.
He thought he had bettor ask a little uutee than
ten dollars, as I appeared ready to buy at any
price. S, he said. “Yes, you may have it all
at ten and a half dollats."
'it thought yOu said I might hav what I
wanted at ten."
"And so have I," sayS I. "I won't trade
with a man that acts that way," and I went on
board, and the men cast off, and hegan to
warp the'vessel again up to her anchor. ,

his head_ again ; he had over-reached himsel f.
Expecting an immense profit on his wood, be
had sold his fish very low : he saw I. was in
earnest, and jumped on hoard.
"Captain, you may have it at ten, so much,
as you want of it."
"Well, measure me off hnlf ti` cord." -
"Didn't you say you wanted twenty or thir•
ty cords 1" •
"No," says T, "you said - that T might have
that much if T wanted it, lilt I don't want it ;
it is only worth three dollars, and you have
the modesty to ask ten, then ten and a half,
hut I wilt take half 'a cord to please you, so
inensuse it off."
He Stormed, and raved, and swore, and
threw his cap down on the deck and jumped on
it, and stretched out his arm as if he was going
to fight, and stretched out his wizzened face, as
if to make holloaing easier, and foamed at the
mouth like a boss that eat lobelia in his hay.

vrap invited to dine in company with Robert
Morris. a man celebrated fur the part he took
in the AMerienn Revolution. It so happened
that the company had waited some time for
Mr. Morris, who, on his appearance, apologized
far detaining them, by saying he had been en
gaged in reading a sermon of a clergyman who
had just gone to England to receive orders.
"Well, Mr. Morris," said the Doctor, "how
did you like the sermon ? I have heard it
highly extolled."
"Why, Doctor," said he, "I did not like it
at all., It's too smooth and tame for me."
"Mr. Morris," replied the Doctor, •what
sort of a sermon do you like ?"
"I like, sir," replied Mr. Morris, "that kind
of preaching which drives a man into the cor•
ner of his pew, and makes him think the devil's
after him."

The Doctor was found—heard the dismal
tale, and with as much unconcern as he would
manifest in a case of common headache, sat
down and wrote the fo;lowing laconic note :

more than its value) perhaps we might trade.

AN ANOMALY IN TRADE.—One of the most
curious features of business in San Francisco is
the outward movement of flour, rain, etc. It
is thought an export of .50,000 bids. flour or
its equivalent in wheat may take place, and
still leave sufficient to supply the consumption
up to harvest, which promises to be very
large. The clipper ship Charmer had nearly
completed loading wheat and flour for New
York. The Telegraph had also been laid on
for the same port. and had about half her
cargo engaged. She would probably take a
full freight of flour and grain. At the same
time a movement was making to ship ta Aus
tralia, and the Boston Light wouhrfrobably
take 550 bbls. of flour alone.
A DISCOVEHY.—It is said that qpeif tbe m -

cited a good deal of interest the astrom'
