At the battle 'of Culloden, when the Highlanders were forbed to retreat, the Frasers marched off with banners fly ing and pipes playing in the face of the enemy. ( After the battle, Charles Fra ser, younger of Inveralloihyi the lieutenant-colonel of the Fraser regiment, was savagely slain by order of the Duke of Cumberland. When riding over the field, the Duke observed this J brave youth lying wounded. Raising himself upon his elbow, he looked at the Duke, when the latter thus addressed one of his officers, who afterwards became a more distinguished commander than himself " Wolfe, shoot me that High land scoundrel who thus dares to look on us with so insolent a stare." Wolfe re plied that his commission was at his Royal Highness's disposal, but that he . would never consent to become an exe cutioner. Other officers refusing, to com mit this act of butchery, a private sol dier, at the inhuman "command of the Duke, shot the hapless youth before his eyes.,! . .

We are requested to publish the fol lowing simple remedy for yellow fever, which comes in a letter from Paris, written by the son of a French physi cian. The writer haa been for sixteen years a traveler in the Antilles, Rio Janeiro, the Congo coast, and other localities liable to the epidemic, . and personally testifies to its. efficacy as a preventive as well as cure: " Never use raw water. ; Boil thor- . . ouzblv all water for drinkine. and even for washing purposes. In water used for cooking, see that it boils at least during twenty minutes. To cure attacks of yellow fever, jpve iarge quantities of boiled water, which must be taken luke warm. Continue to rive it, even in the attacks of vomiting," which will surely follow the swallowing of the first quart. Tt the nation t drink a srallon. if W3r sibleand if all thrown up, force him ,even to take as much more.. After twelve hours of such treatment the patient is convalescent, and all danger s over. If the patient be in the second stage of the disease, give first an emetic, and then large quantities of tepid water, (which has been thoroughly boiled,), and a sure cure will follow." lhree reasons are added to inspire faith in the writer's advice r" 1. Yellow fever is the exclusive result of the ingestion of waters that have become corrupt. 2. By boiling these waters become inoffensive. 3. Boiled water is jeminently destructive to all fermentation." Justifying an Attempted Homicide. Cincinnati Enquirer. ' About a year agoaweman named Anna M.

' From each of these socie ties she was entitled to a certain sum weekly during illness, but they refused, to give her anything, and yesterday she Drought suit against them before Squire Schwab for nine dollars each. The de fense set up by the Association was the very peculiar one that her conduct to ward her husband f was such that she deserved to have her throat cut, and that consequently, having brought her illness on herself, she was not entitled to any benefit. Squire Schwab 'over ruled, as he did not consider sufficient evidence had been introduced to show that the husband had been, justified in cutting his wife's thro'at. He therefore gave judgment for the plain tifi in .the full amounts asked for. A Mexican Family. .

JJon't judge a man by the clothes he wears, for God made one and the tailor the other. ' Don't judge him by his family connec tion, for Cain belonged to a very good family. Don t judge him by his speech, for the parrot talks, and the tongue is but an instrument or. sound.

Very soon thenawk dropped the fish, which the eagle catching in the air, flew away with, apparently disre garding the pangs of a guilty conscience. The next day the gentleman noticed a repetition of the fishing operation, and on the eagle's approach, as before, the hawk dropped its prey and disappeared. The eagle caught it in the air, but, strangely enough, let it go, and it fell to the ground. Greatly interested, the gentleman concluded to go and examine the cause of the unusual conduct of the thieving "Emblem of Freedom." On reaching the spot he found the supposed fish to be a decayed bone. ! We read in a Western exchange that " Two bushels of No. 2 wheat will pay one years' subscription" to, the paper.

Beecher Appears at Home. The New York Sun tells how Henry Ward Beecher was received on his first Sunday after his return: An immense congregation visited Mr. Beecher on his first public appearance yesterday after his return from California. Every thing in the church looked new, the carpets were i resn irom tne warenouse, the Dews were redolent with oil and varnish, and Assistant Pastor Halli- dav's clothes seemed never to have been worn before. The platform was almost hidden , beneath its load of "rare flowers, hut there were." apparently, not enough to satisfy the liberal tastes of Mr. Hal- liday, for just before Mr. Beecher ap peared he camea up anomer large vase of roses, lilies, and creepers, and placed it uoon the little " Mount of Ulives"ta ble. Mr. Beecher entered hastily, and as he steDred upon the platform a murmur of interest and pleasure ran through the great throng;- but the pastor was un1 moved. He may have been a little fatter, and his clothes were decidedly shabbier than when he started for Cal ifornia: in anv other particular it would have, required an exceedingly close ob server to discover the slightest change in his aDDearance. Mr. Camp, the leader of the choir, waved his hand, and the whole congregation arose and sang the doxology, the words " Praise Groa from whom " all blessings flow " ringing through the . church. Mr. Beecher sat seemingly ' undisturbed. His face bore a stern and thoughtful ex pression, but the extraordinary warmth of his reception did not seem to affect him in the least. .. Narrow Escape. The force of fear itself will sometimes prompt an act of desperate bravery such as alone saved the life of a young Missouri girl the other day : Miss Mary Fleshman, daughter of Mr. Perry Fleshman, living two miles east of Platte City, Mo., was riding on horse back along through the woods, when she dropped her glove. She dismounted to secure it, and as she was stooping to pick it up, she discovered a large rattle snake, at least six feet long, coiled and in. the act of striking,, Jt did strike, but failed to reach her, and fell at her feet. She sprang back with aery of horror ; but almost instantly the snake recoiled and struck again. This time the venom ous fangs struck in the front part of her bonnet, and the hold tearing out with the force of the blow and the weight of the snake, it fell on the d at her feet. Instantly it reared front of her. Scarcely knowing j?he did, she seized the snake justj wthe head M wiin Doin nanas. ana n g it lor a moment with desperaj energy, sne slung it from ner an fled, i It was a narrow escape, out Miss i? leshman sus tained no other injuries than those which result frem violent excitement and nervous prostration. A Doctor's Advice. Dr. " Charley" Judkins, says the Cincinnati Saturday Night, is one of the most generous-hearted physicians in the city, as he is one of the most skillful, but he does gets tired occasionally of charging up accounts on his books that are never settled, lhe other day a stranger came to him to be treated for rheumatism. He said he had had it, "off and rni." for twplve vtr-' He Ij-n, r -, Lu.-hnt. hfl ex pected some next week, and would call and pay. " You've had the rheumatism twelve years, you. say?" asked the doc tor. " Yes, twelve long weary years." " And you 11 have some money next week?" "Yes, sir, next week, sure." " Well," returned the doctor, " if you've had the rheumatism twelve years, I reckon another week won't hurt you much. Come next week, . when you have the money." The man never "got arouna." . As it is generally useless to try to persuade a horse to take medicine vol untarily, owing to his inability to ap preciate its advantages, combined with his dislike for the taste, mechanical ll 1. A m means are- resorted to. Arr ingenious apparatus in this line has just been in vented. It consists of a wooden gag bit, which is placed in the horse's mouth and attached to the headstall.

His Eminence was amusing himself by jumping against the wall. To surprise a prime minister in so boyish, an occupation was danger ous. A less skillful courtier might have stammered excuses and retired. But the duke entered briskly and cried, "I'll bet you a hundred crowns that I jump higher than your Eminence." And the duke and the cardinaf began to jump for their lives. Grammont took care to jump a few inches lower than the cardinal, and six months afterward was Marshal of France. A colored brother whose eyes were watery, and who had evidently been imbibing experience whisky, was telling his young friend George that he ought to gine' too. Said George, " I would, but de temptation to do wrong is too strong for me." " Wharfs yer back bone dat ye can't rose up and stand temptation I" exclaimed Brother Peter. " I was dat way myself once. Right in dis yere town I had a chance to steal a pa'r of boots mighty, fine ones, too. Nobody was dar to see me, and I reached out my hand and de debbil said take em?"

Defense of the Tyrol. After the battle of the Aspern, Bona parte detached a force of nearly forty thousand men, under Ahe command of General Lafebvre, to subjugate the fy- rolese, who, headed by the brave and enterprising Andrew Hofer, had opposed a aesperate resistance to an tneir at tacks. The account of the expedition, as -related by a Saxon Major, who escaped from the destruction of those terrible days, presents one of the most striking instances of national and indi vidual heroism that history records: " We had penetrated to Innspruck," says the officer, "without great resist ance. Our entrance into the passes of the Brenner was onlv ODDOsed bv a small corps,- which continuea falling back, after an obstinate though short resist ance. Among others I perceived a man eighty years old, posted against the side 4 of a rock, and sending death among our ranks at every shot Upon the Bavari ans descending from behind to make him prisoner, he shouted, 'Hurrah!' struck the first man to the ground with a ball, , seized hold of the second, and with the ejaculation, in God's name! precipitated himself with him into the abyss below. 'Marching onward, we heard resound from the summit of a high rock, Stephen, shall I chop it off" yet ? "to which a loud nay reverberated from the opposite. This'was told to the Duke of Dantzic, who, notwithstanding, ordered us to ad vance, at the same time he prudently withdrew 'from the center to the rear. The van, consisting of four thousand Bavarians, had just stormed a tleep ra vine, wben we again heard hal loped over our heads, Mans ! for the most Holy Trinity I Our terror was completed by the reply that immediately followed. In the name of the Holy Trinity, cut all loose below 1 and .ere a minute was elapsed thousands of my comrades in arms were crushed, buried and over whelmed by an incredible heap of broken rocks, stones and trees hurled upon us. We were all petrified ; every one fled that could, but a shower of balls from the Tyrolese, who now rushed from the surrounding mountains in im mense numbers, and among them boys and girls of ten and twelve years of age, killed or wounded a great many of us. Jt was not till we got those fatal mountains six leagues behind us that we were reassembled by the Duke, and formed into six columns. Soon after the Tyrolese appeared, headed by Hofer, the inn-keeper. After a short address from him they gave a general fire, then flung their rifles aside and rushed upon our bayonets. Nothing could withstand their impetuosity. They darted at our feet, threw or pulled us down, strangled us, wrenched the arms from our hands, and, like enraged lions, killed all, French, Bavarians and Saxons that did not cry for quarter. By doing so I, with three hundred men, was spared and 8t at liberty. "When all lay dead around, and the victory completed, the Tyrolese, as if moved bv one impulse, fell upon their knees, and poured forth the emotions of their hea ts in prayerunder the can opy of heaven, a scene so awfully sol emn that it will ever be 'present in my remembrance. 1 joined in the devotion, and never in my lite did 1 pray more fervently. .

Temple Bar, The name Plantagenet, which fourteen succeeding sovereigns of England were known by, was first bestowed as a term of reproach on their ancestor, Fulke Martel, Earl of Anjou, in the tenth cen tury, because he contrived the murder of his nephew,- in order to succeed to his possessions. In atonement for that offense, his confessor sent him on a pil grimage to Jernsalem, attended by two servants ; one of them was to lead him by a halter to the holy sepulcber, the other to strip and whip .him there.

X Joke on a Physician. I5iw OrWm Picran.t An amusing incident, which impugns the faith fulness of memory of one of our pbysiciansj occurred a few days since. The Esculapian referred to treated ai man for theyellbv fever, and when his patient was well and out, sent him his bill amounting to a good round sum for professional services rendered. v , The client, who considered the bill rather ex -rbi tan t, called on the doctor. He told the learned gentleman" that he was not in unusually easy circumstances, and requested him, to make a discount in the amount of the bill. "No, sir," replied the doctor. " I never cut down one of my bills. If you cannot pav it, I will not ask you for it." This of course touched the patient to his inner heart, but it was not what he anticipated. He therefore replied, that he did not ask for charity but only a discount on the bilL The doctor in answer again said that he never cut down anv of his bills. For many yeare' he had been treating yellow fever, and his fee was one hun dred dollars and nothing under. If the bill could hot be paid well, his services were offered freely. There was, of course, no reply to be made, and the patient knew that it was useless to attempt to argue the question. Resigning himself to the necessity of paying the full amount, he changed- the conversation, and inquired from the physician if a person who had been afflicted with yel low fever during the epidemic of 1S67 could again have the same fever this year. "Certainly not, was th'e reply of the loctor. The centleman, in answer, said that he bad had it, or at any rate that he had been treated for it. The doctor then replied that the person who treated him in 1867 for yellow fever was an in competent or very impudent person. This was too -much for the patient, who, however, did not lose his opportunity. He quietly remarked that he would re fer to his papers, and ascertain who was the medical celebrity who had treated him for the fever durinsr that epidemic. Pulling a bundle of papers from his pocket, . he looked over them and coolly handed over a receipt for seventy five dollars for treatment of yellow fever. in 1867, and lo! it was signed by the doctor himself. Grand' tableau. It was riot ascer tained what the Esculapian answered and what was the sequel to the comedy. The First Chinaman. The first Chinaman who came to America, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, was Chum Miner, in 1847. He was a native merchant of Nai Sang, a proviDce of Canton, intelligent; and en terprising. He went into the mountains, and, finding gold, wote to a friend, Cheong Yum, in 1848, about 'the new country. Cheong Yum immediately came to the Pacific Slope, but, before doing so, told a number of his country men of the discovery of gold in America. It was then that the Chinamen began to flock to the Pacific coast. There wrere at that time no steamers to bring them, so they came in sailing vessels.- In 1849 the Argonauts began to arrive from the East, and 'at that time the Chinese in flux was a mere drop in the bucket. Within the next few years the arrivals Of Mongolians became more frequent and in larger proportions, so that in 1852 there were four thousand, on the coast, two thousand of whom lived in San Francisco. Ah soon as the tide of Chi nese emigration had set in. toward Cali fornia, the Yeoung Wo and the Kong Chow, the first two of the present Six Companies,! began the business of aiding the shipments. Singular Facts About Yellow Fever. TNew York Herald. Another singular fact is that thej first death from yellow fever occurred on the 21st of July, on a street well paved and in a neighborhood of the wealthy a fact the more wonderful when it is remem bered that New Orleans has very, few paved streets, and, further, that by "far the largest number of deaths are on the streets well paved and near the Missis sippi river, while out in the rear portion, where the draining canals are reeking with filth, where dead dogs and cats are no tmg around, with a green scum nearly two inches thick, with the hot sun pouring: down upon them at a tem perature of about 90 'hrenheit, there has not been a single death from yellow fever. Again, in the Third District of this city, where there were over five hundred deaths from the yellow fever in 1870, not a death has occurred so far, and the same may be said of the Fifth District, situated on the opposite side of the river, surrounded by swamps and very filthy. Dr. Thomas, of Detroit, details in the Dental Cosmos a. case in which he success fully inserted in the mouth of a gentle man, who had lost a superior cuspidate, a solid and healthy tooth that he had removed from a woman's mouth four weeks previously. He opened into the canal and pulpchamberof the tooth, from the apex of the root only ; cut the end off one eighth of an inch (it being that too long) reduced the size .somewnat in center of root (it being a trifle larger than the root extracted,) filled and placed it "in position. He says that several dentists were not able to distin guish the transplanted tooth from the others. Two 'feature3 in the case that he calls particular attention to are: That although the tooth had been in his office four weeks, there is no perceptible change in color, and that the reattach ment is as perfect as though it had been transplanted or replanted the same day of extraction. Dr. Thomas knows but two obstacles in the way of perfect prac ticability of transplanting: "first, the difficulty of obtaining the proper teeth at the proper time ; and, second, the pos sibility of inoculation. The latter is,the more formidable, of the two, and to escape the ills that might follow, the greatest caution is necessary. The first difficulty is more easily gotten over, for it is not necessary that tHe tooth trans planted should correspond exactly in shape and size to the one extracted ; if it is too large it may be reduced ; or, if too small new osseous deposit will sup ply the deficiency.
