I'UJ PERIL OF MOUNTAIN TRAVEL--A A writer in the London Saturday Review thus describes a recent per ilous adventure in the Alps : "An hour and a half atter the de parture of our porters, we slowly wended our way to the lake of Mar gelin, which we skirted, and were soon upon the ice. The middle of the glacier war almost as smooth as a ob.rriage road,.,cut here and there by musical brooks produced by the superficial ablation. To one of us the scene opened out with the fresh ness of a new revelation, as, previous ly to this year, he had never been I lit mong the Alps. To the other, though not new, the region had lost no trace of the interest with which he first viewod it. We moved brisk ly along the frozen incline, until, af ter a couple of hours' march, we saw a solitary human being standing on the lateral moraine of the glacier, near the point where we were to quit it for the cave of the Faulberg. At first this man excited no atten tion. ire stood and watched us, but did not move a step towards us, un til finally oar curiosity was aroused by observing that he was one of our :wo men. The glacier here is always cut by crevasses, which, while they present no real difficulty, require care. We approached our porter, but he never moved; and when we came up to him he looked stupid, and did not speak until he was spoken to. B. addressed !lint in the patois of the place, and he answered in the same patois. His answer must have been more than usually obscure, for our guide misunderstood the most important part of it. "My God 1" he exclaim ed, turning to us, " Walters is kill ed !" Walters was the guide at the dEggischhorn, with whom, in the prekent instance, we had nothing to do. "so, not Walters," responded the-man, "iris my comrade that is killed." B.- leaked at him with a wild, bewildered stare. "How kili ed F" he exclaimed, "Smashed in a crevasse," was the reply. We were all so stunned that for some time we did not quite seize the import of the terrible statement. B. at length tossed his arms in the air, exclaim in g- , —"Jesu Maria I what am I. to do?" With the swiftness that some ascribe to dreams, we surrounded the fact with imaginary adjuncts,one of which was that the man bad been drawn dead from the crevasse, and was now a corpse in the cave of the Faulberg; tor we took it for granted that, ha►d he been still entombed, his comrade would have run or called for our assistance. Several times in succession he affirmed that the miss ing porter was certainly dead. "How does he know that he is dead ?" L. demanded ; "rien are sometimes rendered senseless with out being killecL" This question was repeated in German, but met with the same stolid affirmative re sponse. "Where is he, then ?" we asked. "There," replied the porter, stretching his arm towards the gla cier. "In the crevasse ?" A stupid "Ja?" was the answer. It was with difficulty that we quelled an impre cation. "Lead the way to the cre vesse, you blockhead," and ho led the way. J. J. HUFFMAN I= We were soon beside a wide and jagged cleft which resembled a kind of come more than an ordinary fiss ure The cleft had been spanned by a snow bridge, now broken, and up to the edge of which htfrnan foot siteps could be traced.. The glacier here was considerably torn, but simple patience was the only thing needed to unravel its complexity.— This quality our porter lacked, and, hoping to make shorter work of it, he attempted to cross this bridge. It gave way, and he went down carrying an immense load of debris, along with him. We looked into toe hole, at one end of which was cut short by darkness, while immediate ly under tivi broken arch it was crammed with snow and shattered icicles. We saw nothing more.— We listened with strained attention, and from the depths of the glacier a low moan seeped to issue. its rep etition assured us that it was no de lusion—the Mau WAS still alive. B. from thn first bad loon extreme ex cited. When he heard the moan ing he became almost frantic. lie attempted to get into the cre vasse, but was obliged to roooil. It was quite plain that a second life was in danger, for our guide seemed to have lost all self-control. hand was placed heavily upon his should er, and he was admonished that up on his coolness depended the life of his friend. "If you behave like a man, we shall save kim j if like a women an is lost." *first rate rope ascom . panied the party, but unhap pily it was with the man in the crev asse: "Take off coats, waistcoats, and tisanes." They were instantly taken virea4 The y together.

Not until each of these knots has been tested ; not an inch Two of thorn gave way, and L.'s waistcoat also proved too tender for the strain. The debris was about 40 feet from the surface of the glacier, but two prominences afford a kind of tooting. B. was dropped down to one of these; T. followed, being let down by L.; he could not trust the porter overhead. B. then descend ed the remaining distance, and was duly followed by .T. More could not find room. The shape and size of the cavity were such as to produce a kind of resonance, which rendered it difficult to strike the precise spot from which tht sound issued; but the moaning continued, becoming to all appear ance gradually feebler. Fearing to wound the man, the debris was cau tiously rooted away. it rang curi ously as it fell into the adjacent gloom. A layer two or three feet thick was thus removed; and finally, from the frozen mass, and so bloodless as to be almost as white as the surrounding snow, issued a single human hand.— The fingers moved Hound it we rooted and soon reached the knap sack, which we cut away. With it we regained our rope. The man's head was laid bare, and our brandy flask was immediately at his lips.— He tried to.speak, hut was inarticu late, his words jumbling themselves to a dull moan. B.'s feelings got the better of him at intervals; be wrought like a hero, but at times be needed guidance and stern admonition. The arms once free, we passed the rope underneath them, and sought to draw the man out. But the ice frag ments round him bad regulated so as to form a solid ease. Thrice we es sayed to draw him up, thrice we fail ed ; he had literally to be hewn out of the ice, and not until his last foot was extricated were we able to lift him. L. and the porter pulling above, and we pushing him below, the man was raised to the light of day. L. then drew his friend out of the pit, and B. followed. For an hour we had been in the crevasse in shirt sleeves—the porter had been in it for two hours—and the dripping ice had drenched us. 8., moreover, had worked with the energy of mad ness, and now the reaction came.— He shook as if he would fall to pieces; bat brandy and seine covering re vived him. The rescued man was helpless, un able to stand, unable to utter an ar ticulate sentence. B. proposed to carry him down the glacier towards home. Had this been attempted. the man would have indubitably died upon the ice. B. thought be could carry him for two hours, but he un derrated his own exhaustion, and overrated the vitality of his riend. 'lt cannot be thought of—to the cave of Faulberg, where we must tend him as well as we can.' We got him to the side of the glacier, and here B. took him on his back; in ten minutes he sank under his load. L. carried a miscellaneous burden. It was now our turn with the man, then again B's,and thus helping each other we reached the mountain wrot. The sun ha.l set, and the crown of the Jung frau was imbedded in amber light.— Thinking that the Margelin See might be reached before darkness, we proposed starting in search of help. The good B. would not hear of it, and L.'s eye slightly glistened. It is surprising how such au occasion brings out a man's feeling. "God , bless you L, and now for the gla cier" But ale anxiety to get quick ly clear of the crevasses defeated its own object. Thrice we found our selves in difficulty, and the light was visibly departing. The conviction deepened that persistence would be folly, and the most impressive mo ment of our experienc was that on which we stopped at the brink of a profound fissure and looked upon the mountains and the sky. The serenity was perfect—not a cloud,not a breeze, not a sound, while over the solemn I West spread the last hues of sunset We returned ; warm wine was giv en to our patient, and all our dry clothes were wrapped around him. Hot water bottles were placed at his feet and his back was briskly rubbed. He continued to groan a long time, but finally, both this and the tremb ling ceased The anxious watcher B. muttered, "He is dead I" We leaned over his face and found him breathing gently; we felt his pulse —it was tranquilly beating. "Not dead dear old Bile will be able to crawl home with us in the morning?' The prediction was justified by the event: and two days afterwards we saw him at Laax, minus a bit of his ear, with a bruise .upon his cheek and a few scars upon" his hand, bat without' a broken bone or serious injury of any kind. The self•denying manner in which the second porter spent, the night made us forget his ettipidiiy it may have been stnpefnetion. If we were to draw a moral from this incident . , it would be, that disaster* in the Alps are far more likely to (wear in ordinary places, whereWL tins/ is not observed, than in madly perikleas Owes wee the faealtieir are all alive, an* ejiga i s impressed by the certain and 144094 stwor Timm of its oatiioet. • HOW HE GAVE UP HIS CIGAR. I was travelling in a train of cars, on the Iludson River Railroad, from Albany to New York city. This road is a very accommodating road, for it has a smoking car attached to every train. I found my way into this Pandemonium, and lighting a 'fine Havana cigar," settled myself back in the seat - for a comfortable smoke. By one of those strange fatalities which we can never ac count for, my eyes rested upon a piece of paper upon the floor, which looked like a leaf torn from a book. I stopped and picked it up. It was a tract from the Anti-Tobacco Tract Depository, and was headed "The Pleasure and then the 'Ring." At the extreme bottom of the page, in the smallest, most modest, unassum ing type imaginable, was the name "Geo. Trask." I read the tract, and then read the title page: " The Pleasure and then the Sting." In the meantime my cigar went out, but the words in tile tract had set me thinking , and the cigar was thrown away. Now I will tell you how I gave up smoking. I am twenty-four years of age. I com menced smoking when I was thir teen. It never made me sick to learn the vile habit, as it does most boys. For eleven years I have smoked. Several months ago my digestive organs stopped the doing of their proper functions, and I gave up eating all kinds of (bed, except the very plainest, supposing as was really the case, that I had dyspepsia. ' I thought it was caused by eating certain kinds 'of food. For more than six months I have lived upon the very plainest food, but without much relief; and until the little tract started me on the right path, I had never dreamed that it was to bacco which gave me all this pain and trouble. I have smoked eleven years, and could scarcely believe that it was to commence hurting me now. It is six weeks since I stopped using tobacco. Never, since i threw away the cigar in the smoking car, have I put into my mouth either pipe or cigar. The hot, burning pain in my throat is gone, no filthy taste is in my mouth every morning before breakfast, as of old, and my dyspepsia is dally growing to be a thing of the past. Nothing would induce me to return again to the use of tobacco. I feel brighter and bet ter than I have sinco childhood, and can eat most any kind of food now. For this blessing, God bless George Trask. Now I will tell you how I went to work to break away from the toils of the vile destroyer. First, I went to the druggist's and, procured a jar of Extract of Dande lion. It is about the thickness of dough. I kept it in my desk at the office. Every time that I felt the least inclination to smoke, I would put a Fttnall lump of it into my mouth; ftilla month I continued this prac tice, and now seldom think of smok ing', and only with a glad feeling of having escaped its toils. I have in duced my room mate to try the ex periment. Ile has successfully prac ticed it for three weeks. BITE 01' A RATTLESNAKE MED IN TWO HOURS, The Petersburg Express publishes the following from a reliable corres pondent "A carpenter ; while en• gaged a few days ago, in removing some rotten timber near the ground, was bitten by a rattles. ake. In a few minutes his finger was swoollen to four times its natural size, and the streaks commenced running up his band and wrist. A deadly languor came over him and his vision grew dim, clearly in dicating that the subtle poison that was coursing through his veins, was rapidly approaching the citadel of life. But a remedy was tried, merely by way of experiment, which, to the surprise of all present, acted like a charm, the component parts of which were onions, tobacco and salt, of equal parts, made into's, poultice and applied to the wound, and at the same time a cord was bound tight ly about the wrist. In two hours afterwards he had so far recovered as to be able to resume hici work. I know an old negro who cured a boy that had been bitten by a mad dog, by the same application." 131TRNINGOF THE OLD SERAGLIO AT OONSTANTINOPLE Front the Levant Herald of Aug. 12th, we have an account of the burning of the Old Palace of Selim, of Mustapha and Mahomed, and one of the most unique and characteris tic buildings on the south side of the Golden Horn. This disaster occur red on the morning of the 11th of August, and in little more than half an hour the whole pile was in flames. The Grand Vizier.

At the time of its destruction the old Seraglio was occupied by the ladies of the establishment of the late Sul tan, Abdel Medjid. These consisted of four wives, and about 300 other females of lower rank, besides nearly one hundred white and black ser vants, all of whom were in the pal ace when the disaster occurred.— They narrowly escaped with their lives. All the costly furniture, val uable wardrobes and many jewels fell a prey to the flames. The total loss is £300,00(i. AN INSTANCE OF MERCANTILE IN TEGRITY. The Boston Journal records the foffow ing: "About twenty years ago a young man named Thomas Hardy, of South Danvers, in this State, meeting with mis fortune in business , determined to leave his native town ai.d seek his fortune in the West, with the flrra resolve that if Provi dence smiled upon his efforts he would re turn and pay his debts to the uttermost farthing. After struggling fora long time at the West, with varied success, he pro ceeded to California about six years ago, and there accumulated a handsome for tune. Having thus accomplished his de sires, Le recently returned to South Dan vers for the purpose of cancelling the claims of his old creditors. This he did in full, paying both principal and interest, amounting to 25,000 dollars. While doing business in South Danvers he had a partner, whose share of the debts of the firm he has liquidated, as well as his own. Not satisfied with this, he made a number of generous gifts, and on M-onday evening gave a splendid entertainment to his old friends and associates. Such in cidents as this are an honor to human na ture, and furnish a• bright example for young merchants and business men to imitate." HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS. If the covers of sofas and chairs are dirty, they may be cleansed without being removed, by first washing them over with a flannel, then before they are dry, sponge them over with a strong solution of salt and water, in vt hick a small quantity of gall has been mixed. The windows of the root:: should be open so as to secure•a perfect drying, and the colors and freshness of the article will thus be re stored. Floor-cloths may be cleaned with a mixture of magnesia, only milk warm, followed by warm water in the seine manner that carpets are cleansed.— They should be rubbed with dry flaun el till the polish is restored. This is a pro cess much to be preferred to that of rub bing the cloth with wax, whieh leaves it sticky and liable to retain the dust and dirt for a long time. Very hot water should never be used in cleaning floorcloth, as it brings off the paint. Cleaning mir• rors and polished steel articles is an easy operation, when rightly understood. The greatest care should be taken in cleaning a mirror to use only the softest articles, lest the glass should be scratched. It should first be dusted with a leather brush, then washed over with a sponge dipped in spirits to remove the fly-spots after this it should be dusted with the powder blue in a thin muslin bag, and finely polished with an old silk handker chief. Polished steel articles, if rub bed every morning with leather, will not become dull or rusty ; but if rust has been suffered to gather, it must be imme diately removed by covering the steel with sweet oil, and allowing it to remain on for two or three days; then sprinkle it over will-. finely powdered unelacked• lime, and rub it with polishing leather. POMPEII HAS REVEALED NEW SE CRETS. A late letter from Naples says that five fresh roams have been laid open in that part of the buried city which has been uncovered this year, not far from the Forum. Ainong the articles discovered in these rooms were a number of pieces of bread, which must have been wrapped up in a napkin, the tissue of which is still in a perfect state of preserva tion. There has been also found a pretty Beal, baying for its motto the words "Ani Which M. Fiorelli, the inspector of the excavations, consid ers an abbreviation of a proper name--"Anicelus Modestus." 31.. Fe lix Padiglione, the artist who is re producing Pompeii, in cork, at one hundred' of its natural size, has just added considerably to that work, which travellers may see in the small museum of odds and ends at the ruins. A New Draft Fraud A Washington special says :—ln many cases it is understood that able bodied men presented to the Board of Enrollment, and accepted, are re placed before they arrive at the gen eral rendezvous, by feeble men ans wering the same name, unfit for mili tary ditty. To guard against this trick the Provost Marshals will here after be held responsible for the de livery of the identical men passed and accepted at the rendezvous. Fashionable Wedding A fashionable Redding came off at the Astor House, New York, in a quiet way, a day or two ago. The bridegroom was Mons. Charles Ca rey, Chancellor of State of Bausarne Switzerland, and the bride, Miss Annie Taylor, of Cedarcrefe, Chester county, Pa., a sister of Bayard Tay lor. jYli:titaL WHO WILL SUPPORT CURTIN, WHO WOOD WARD ? In the last issue of the Republican the editor nndertook,to give a list of those who would support the re spective candidates for governor in the coming election. His classifica tion was not near full enough, and we take the liberty of adding to it.— Among the supporters of Andy Cur tin will be found : Every original disunionist in the State, from Thad. Stevens down. Every one who avows that the Union as it was cannot be restored. Every one who asserts that the war can only end in the extinction of slavery. Every one who believes the Con stitution to be a "covenant with death and a league with hell." • Every one who sanctions the re peated violations of that sacred in • strument. Every one who believes that Lin coln may violate it at his pleasure. Every one who justifies the arrest, the imprisonment, and the exile of Democratic editors and orators for exercising the plainly guaranteed constitutional rights of free speech. Every one wtto believes that Lin coln nay suspend the writ of habeas corpus at his pleasure. Every one wh , ) believes he may do away with the sacred right of trial by jury. E. one who believes that the negro race is f - aper-i-')x to the white. Every •ono who believes £Ee n'egi." l to be the equal of the white man. Every one who wants to see him admitted to social and political equality, and like Judge Agnew, would desire to see the Constitution of Pennsylvania 80 amended as to give him a right to vote. Every one who believes that the white race would be improved by amalgamation with the black. Every one who believes that this is a war for the freedom of the ne gro. - Every one who believes that it neither can nor ought to and except in the extinction of slavery. Every one who endorses the eman cipation policy of the President. Every one who thinks the nation can only be saved by the help of ne gro soldiers. Every one, in short, who believes in au anti-slavery Constitution, an anti-slavery Bible, an anti-slavery God, and all the foolish and perni cious proclamations of Abraham, the faithful father of the Contrabands. Every one who has been engaged in plundering the public treasury, except it may be Simon Cameron. Every shoddy contractor. Every maker of shoes with paper soles. Every manufacturer w ho is making a fortune out of government con tracts. Every corrupt official who has both hands up to the elbows in the public coffers. Every greedy scoundrel who thinks be will soon get his paws iu. Every "green-back patriot." Every man who is making money out of the war. Every one who has made afortune out of it. .Every one who expecte to make a fortune out of it. Every one who holds an office un der Lincoln. Every one who holds an office an der Curtin. Every Provost Marshal and all in their employ. Every tax collector and assessor, and, in short, the whole gang of vam pires who are filttening on the blood of tho people and the treasures of the nation, wilt vote for Andrew G. Cur tin. But these, long as the list, is, and numerous as they are, are not yet strong enough to carry the com ing election. There is a much larger clam who will vote for George W. Woodward. Among these will be found, every man who is loyal to the Constitution: every one who desires to see the Union restored: every one who knows hie ownts as a freeman and respeste th enghts of his fellow eitiaens: every time knead ef liberty, sad every hater of despotisms : every NEW SERIES,--VOL. 5, NO. 18. one who desires to see the majesty of the civil law preserved inviolate s every one who believes that thia government was made by white men for white men:. every , one who.ialn favor of keeping the negroes in their proper place as an inferior -awl ,de pendent race : every one who has sense enough to see how much our liberties are endangertd , by the bumptious of arbitrary power by , the present administration : every one who condemns the negro war policy of the President and his advisers: in short every conservative think ing man in the State, together with the honest masses whokare suffer.. ing from the multiplied woes this war has brought upon us, and who desire to see it end speedily, and in a manner honorable and just to all parties. nose constitute a 'vast ma jority of our population, and they will speak their sentiments in thun der tones at the approaching election. If we have a free vote we have no fear but that the result will be s glorious triumph. Nothing can pre vent this but force or fraud at the polls, and that we do not think our opponets will dare to attempt.—Put ton Democrat. OBEAT DM:IOIMM MADE TOO From the New Hampshire Democrat.
