I lCven with the greatest carefulness, ac cidental poisoning will often occur. Chil dren are much iuclined to try bottles and parcels, before they are able to read the labels. Nearly every poison has its anti dote, which will prove effective if used at once ; loss of life often results from a delay of but a minute or two. Dr. 11. M. Ved der, of Flushing, X. Y., has prepared the followiug for the American Agricultural ist : Arsenjc, Fly Powder ("Cobalt"), Kings' Yellow, ycheel's Green, Rats bane Stir two tablespoonfuls of ground Alitstard in a quart of lufcewarm v:ater, and drink until copious vomiting is pro duced, tickling the throat with the finger or a feather. After vomiting, give largo quantities oP Calcined Magnesia. LEAD POISONS. Sugar of Lead, "White lead, Litharage First, Mustard to vomit, as above, and doses of Ejisoni Halts, say a tcaspoonful to a tablespoonful, according to the age of the patient, every half hour for two hours. MERCURIAL POISONS Corrosive Sublimate or (Bed Busr Poison), White Precipitate, Red Precip itate, Vermilion UViiVe of Eons or milk or Wheat Flour beaten up. Ad- i minister all that can be got down in ten minutes, and then give mustard emetic as above. COPPER POISONS. Blue Vitriol, Verdigris, Food or Pick les Cooked in Copper or Brass Vessels White of E-jjs, or Milk taken very freely for ten minutes, to be followed with an emetic of Mustard as above. - IKON POISONS. Copperas, or Green Vitriol Cooking Soda, a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful, or more according to the age of patient, etc. followed by plenty of Gum-Arabic water, or Flaxseed tea or Slippery Elm tea. ANTIMONY". Tartar Kmetic 1'oicdcred JTutqalls, Mushrooms Emetic of mustard and warm water, until vomiting is produced ; then frequent small doses of Epsom Salts. Poisonous Fish Emetic of Mutard and warm water, tickling the throat. BITES, ETC. Serpents, Insects, Mad Dog, Poisoned wounds from dead animals Tic a string tightly above the wound; some one having no sores, broken skin, or exposed nerves in the mouth, suck out the blood and wash with hot water, so as to make it bleed as much as possible ; then wash with hartshorn, and burn out with a large red hot wire or pointed Lunar Caus tic ; after which remove the string, and poultice with flaxseed. We have given those antidotes which are most likely to be at hand in every family, and can be readily administered by any one, but in all cases of poisouing send for the family physician at once. It may be necessary to use the stomach pump. The after treatment, to prevent or subdue inflammation, should be followed out with great care. In poisoning by arsenic, the hydrated peroxide of iron is an invaluable antidote, but as a physician would be required to administer this antidote, we have omitted it. Story of a Game of Cards. One hot afternoon in the month of August, '67, three men sat around a ta ble in a private parlor at the Hotel Darm stadt, Ems, Germany, taking such com fort as they could derive from the juice of Rhenish grape and a pack of cards. The most conspicuous figure of the group was a large man with a bald head, gray ish blue eyes, a heavy light colored moustache and air about him that would have done honor to the imperial purple. This personage had even then achieved some fame and was tolerably well known to reading people by the name of Bis marck. .Next to him sat another bald headed individual inferior to Bismarck in stature, with a border of black hair ! mouth about the base of his ekull that looked ' nation. like the rim of an old felt hat (ruthlessly a teaspoonrul or more in water : or tea of j robbed of its crown), condemned to re R.

Alexandre Dumas fds is- at- variance, in his rr.uch-talked-of preface to 'E'Auu'det Ecmmes, with the poets of ancient and modern times. The Greeks who had' such a keen sense of the bcatiful, quali fied Venus as the "laughter-loving:" Shakespeare 'was very fond of sprightly heroines, whose sallies provoked laughter.. Moore immortalizes the feminine laugh in his exquisite sketch of an Irish girl, to whom he was pleased to , give tho Asiatic name of Nourmahal. Balzac (who can hardly be called a poet) was very fond of "a silvery laugh," and used to say that none but thorougbred gentle women had a right to weep, because they aloue weep without disliguring them selves. Now, hear what M. Dumas has to say on tlft other side: If comedy has been so long in disfavor it is because womeu do not like it. And why do they dislike it. Becauso in s comedy men are only conquered by the ruses, the tricks, the malices, and the graces of the fair. This does not satisfy women's ambition. It smacks of the feints in a fencing school. The conquer or neither sees the blood nor hears the groans of the conquered. Woman delights in the real hand to-hand light with the other sex which is the soul of tragedy. She wants publicly to prove that she has the power to subjugate her adversary, to make "him bite the dust, to kill him. She wanU to see him. down, and to tear his heart out unless he sue humbly for mercy, and confess her as the soverign of the uuiverse, or acknowledges himself a wretched fool for having misunderstood aud insulted her so long. But there is another rea son why women do not like comedy. No woman wishes to laugh in public. A laugh depoctizes her aud contorts her visage. There is a frankness in a hearty laugh, which jars with her diplomatic genius. A woman throws away her best arm when she laughs. The tear is what she triumphs in. A humid eye is always interesting, whereas an open- never is. It is simply an aboun Smile if you will, lovely woman, but never laugh. For twenty actresses who can draw tears, there is hardly oue who can excite to laughter. The laughter of an actress is seldom communicative because it is a surface thing, ilt is at war with the female organization. A ! rrmiir.il woman does not rcallv belon" to j . a her sex, and other women dislike her. Nevertheless, glory to the laughter-loving female who is not so much a bearded man incognito as an excellent, compan ionable garcon. main there as a permanent fixture. Du ring the Crimean war the father of this man figured at the Cabinet Councils in ftt. Petersburg as uount -esseiroue, but the son was onlv known as a clever gamester' and an habitue of the fashion- ; able European watering places. The third j member of the party was a little fellow (so little that his f eet scarcely touched j the floor) wi'h dark piereing eyes, swarthy skiu, and vivacity enough for ' half a dozen ordinary men. At the time of which we speak he was the French Consul at Stuttgart. All of them had been partaking freely of wine, aud each in turn shuffled the cards with a vim that the generous grape imparts even to the most phlegmatic temperament. The Frenchman, in the interludes of the play, j treasure, nor that tho return kept ud a runuinir fire of conversation, exploded theory of States rights . . . . i . x4t ci.:.... skipping lroui topic to topic wuicu ouiy Frenchmen enjoy, until, warming as he went on. he ventured the declaration that France would one day mark the bound ary by the Rhine from Basel to the sea. "A hundred Fredericks to fifty," ex claimed Nesselrode, "that she won't." "Done," exclaimed the Frenchman, "and let the game be the fortune-teller." They shuffled the cards, and the French man lost. "Another wager !" said Nesselrode, with a glance at Bismarck, who eyed his two companions calmly, though never uttering a single word. "Another Wager ! Two hundred and fifty that within five years France and Prussia measure swords, j and that i ranee yields Alsace ana tne whole disputed border." "(Test imjwssible ."' excitedly rcspou drd tlin Consul. Again tho cards were shuffled. At j is in what is called "the dough." It .1.. .i i i" I.

Wc hardly think that the country is quite ready to ubandou the principle that was settled at the cost of so much mony and to thtf is' nec essary to settle tne uiunese question. If the Democracy will work as earnestly ! to prevent Chinese immigration as its representatives in the United Staes did to defeat the anti-Chinese bills int rod uc ' ed in that body, wc shall have a united : people laboring to one cud and purpose. The Democrats are too much exercised with fear that the Republican party will destroy their pet hobby, and make capital "for statutory stump speeches." i A scavenger named Luke Fit-hcr 1 drank seven ordinary beer glasses full of ! common whisky within a siTace of forty : minutes, recently, at a saloon iu Detroit.. Later in the day his fticnds were discuss ing whnt would be the most convenient time to hold bis funeral. It is demonstrated beyond a doubt that wheat should be cut when the graiu the Russiau'sJcad. He threw the quceu of clubs upon the table. "Kins?!" shouted the Frenchman in triumph, as he covered NesselrodVs card, and extendea nis nana to seize tne prize. "Not so fast," coolly remarked the Prussian premier, "I believe the game is mine," and casting the ace, he Icaucd back in his chair and laughed heartily. " Man I) ten !" shouted the discomfited player," "but cards arc alwaye liars ;" and unable to conceal the chagrin and excite ment that overmastered him he rose from the table and quitted the room.

Great importance is attached to the French gunboat, which will bo used oa the llhine and Moselle. Each gunboat carries one heavy gun, uiauncd by twelve men, and commanded by a lieutenant. The Prussians have no guuboats. The moon is said to be nearer th earth than it has been in tweuty years past, and nearer than it will be again for a hundred years to come. "Fair Luna's smiles are gracious now." A diahouest bankrupt and an honest one have this resemblance they both tail to make money." A temperance editor, in drawing attention to an article against ardent spirits in one of his papers, says : "For rc-not Down with the Fifteenth Amendment.! The Democracy are not alone in their undyiug hatred of the negro. We learn that the Comanche Indians are ex pressing their hatred of the negro aud are going to give the United States an everlastiug battle because they don't like the negro troops employed on the Texan fiontier. It's too much trouble to scalp them. In fact to get what approaches a scalp on a white person's head they have to skin them. A Cincinnati woman made up her mind to commit suicide, provided her self with a quantity of opium, a revolver, a doubled-barreled gun, a pistol and a razor, and commenced operations. To her disgust, she bad procoedod no furth er than to take a dose of opium and shoot herself once when she was arrested.
