APRIL Hibernal Impatience. 0 laggard year, that lasts so long, VV'Tien will thy leaden pinious rise, And thou break into heaving skies, And be a disiinprisotitcl song y 0 burst into the heaving spring ! And roll away these cold dark days: Inspire vEolian notes of praise, That long to thaw a fifteen wing. Thou too are part of nature's truth, And in thy mystery thou art good ; Yet, roll from over Held and Hood, And bring us Spring's eternal youth. 1 long for April's sweet sublime, When earth recalls the ho-vers of eve And angels in the night shall woave The daintiest filigree of time. When all the world shall answer God, In living greenness to the eye, Beneath an interflashlng sky,' And o'er a daisy-quickened soil When fragrant comes creation's breith And nature is a choral mute ; Life wakes and pulses (lash and resurrection out of death. The Trichina. That "amusing little cuss," the trichina snndis, is now marching on without impediment through the bowels of the press and the muscu lar tissues of the public. If all the city and mail editors in the country, says the St. Louis Globe, had , sold pork short, or newly embraced Ju daism, the zeal with which they are warning their brother worms to shun the flowing rasher, and advis ing them that total abstinence from Bologna is the only ark of safety from dying the death of Herod, the excitement on this subject could not be greater. As is usually the case with newspaper sensations, the fun damental fact is hardly the equal of the fuss made about it, and a few words of sensible advice will not be amiss. The subject naturally divides itself into two parts. First, to avoid trichina spiralis. There are two ways of doing this a, to eat no pone at all ; and , b, to eat none that has not been sufficiently cooked. A temperature of 106 degrees proves fatal to the animal ; hence if meat be properly boiled (which requires that it le raised to 212 degrees), no danger is to be apprehended. Nearly all the reported cases were attributable to eating pork hastily prepared for the table. It. however, the trichina should obtain an entrance into the system, it is well to know tho symptoms that will ensue and the most ap proved curative treatment; The precise manner whether, though the circulation or the muscular, tis sue themselves in which tho trich ina roach the larger muscled of the limbs eyes, which they particu larly, aflectfiom the stomach, is not, known. A diarrheaic tendency. i the earliest symptom of their pros eriee, aria partly operates as a'crfre, since thus are carried off many of the aiiimals -that would vtherwite bree iu. tbe stomach. VYhethey WwSluK I question between the power of the trichina to irritate and of the pati- etitf to1 Cudure. The svfriblbms &a orally are pains in the 'muscles, more o'fjesi'ievete, loss of appetite, steep lessness, thirst, profuse perspiration, airncuu Dreaming, aimnessci v-sion and (iwelHng of" the limbs, with purging ai)d vomiting. Where the, , trichina are present in great num bers the, muscles are so greatly de teriorated as to induce debility, re, sriWnft in fjeathi MHicpTariy where 4, 1874. circumstances are of a more favor able character, in bourse of time the trichina become encysted in celld or sacs covered with phosphate of lime, derived probably from j the blood, the irritation ceases and the patidnt experiences no Inconvenience from the presence of the dormant animals. The treatment most approved is simple. .Strong cathartics are first emplbyed'to rid the system of as many of the parasites as possible. Henaiue has been used in Europe in those early stages, though not so widely or with such general success as to warrant the faculty in adopt ing it as an infallible'curative. Af- ter this, rest and careful nnrsirg are all that are required. Where toe pain is intense, anodynes may be exhibited. Lime-water and milk, in as large quantities as the patient can drink, are recommended, with a dilute solution of phosphoric acid, sweetened with syrup. These not only act as a strengthening tonic, but promote the encysting of the trichina by forming phosphate of lime, in the blood. Such is the simplest, and at the same time, the most satisfactory treatment which has as yet been reported. Kleetrlc Engine. Tlie Portland Bulltin gives the following discription of a new mo tive power bearing the above namp, th3 invention of Messrs. J. M. Sut ton and Col. H. K; Leonard, of Portland. Says the paper referred to : On an elevated platform be fore us was a driving wheel, about 12 inches in diameter, revolving at a rapid rate. There was no impell ing power visible. Quietly the inventor unloosed a screw, drew out a piece of wire, and the unseen power was withdrawn the magic wheel was still. Examination showed that inserted in and forming a portion of its outside surface were several magnets, which in turn were acted upon by powerful coils, two of which are stationed on either side, and so arranged as to give an attractive and repulsive force to the revolving wheel. A powerful bat tery supplies the electric fluid, which on being attached sets the wheel in motion. The invention, it it proves successful, promises to be of incalculable benefit to the wor!d at large, and a fortune to the in ventor. The motive power has been secured beyond a question, and the only matter to be decided is the volume of that power. The inven tor has sanguine holies of success, and has no doubt of its complete running capacity. He proposes to test it, in the course of a few weeks, by endeavoring to run a screw pro peller on the yacht Owl, which, it it proves snccessful, will be as good a test ns the inventor desires. The Seattle Jntelliymcer says: "A logger, while at work, near Eagle Harbor, Bainbridge Island, a few days since, accidentally dis covered the outcfoppings of a coal mine. In -conversation, he spoke of his discovery to certain parties, who immiul iotol ir nront f a tlm 1rwalitw found a veiu about six feet thick, close tQ the ffgter flld thm c,art. ered fa mM for tri to Olympia. Arriving at that place on Thursday last, they immediately repaired to the Land Office and se cured the, prize."

" Last Summer two young men named Winner and McNutt, of Kansas city, obtained an insurance policy tor 85,000 upon the life of McNutt, from the Metropolitan In surance Company. Having obtain ed the policy they went to Wichita, Kansas. Just before Cbcistans, Winner came back to Kansas city for the purpose, as appears, of find ing a young man to be murdered, whose body was to be palmed off on tho insurance company as Mc Nutt's. He visited Mrs. McNutt, who had remained here and dis closed the plot to her. A young man named Seviers was induced to accompany Winner to Vichita, on promise of a job of work, and was never seen alive after he arrived there with Winner. He was taken, according to McNutt's confession, to the paint-shop used by the mur derers, and there drugged with laudanum. Cords were bound tightly around his body, his cloth ing saturated with kerosene. and the shop was set on fire. His re mains were found amid tlie hot em bers of the' building, and were at first supposed to be those of Mc Nutt. His wife, however in whose interest the policy was takpn out, became frightened and confessed the (time. McNutt has lieen arrested, find the citizens of Wichita are noW seriously talking of lynching him. The Eugene City Journal say : Large plantations of hops are being set in various portions of the State this spring. Several tracts have been planted in this county where they are found to do first rate. The demand for roots has been so great that dealers have been unable to supply it. California planters have written here tor them, as that State has not been able to raise sufficient plants for her own use. There are thousands of acres in Lane county which might bo made into the finest hop yards in the country. The Secretary of War has written to the Governo of Montana, saying that the proposed mining expedition from a point in that Territory, al luded to in circulars recently for warded by General Custar to the War Department, will not lie per initted to move. The reason for opposing it, is because of the grer '. probability which would attend it of seriously aggravating the Indian troubles now in existence. K. Poly offers himself as an in dependent candidate for Clerk of Polk county, subject only to the will of the voters, and enumerates the following platform : 1st. Ito tation in office. 2d.
