Salt Its Efcct on the Blood. JJr. Sterns, a French physician and surgeon, saw a butcher killing a pig. He observed that he stirred . the! blood of the animal, and added a handful of common salt to it while tirring. which immediately made it crimson, and on stirring being discoatinued.the blonde remained fluitt The change of j the color of the blood awakened his curiosity. The' butcher could givejno explanation of the phenomenon jexcept that jit kept it from jellying aud spoiling. Dr. Stevens seized a vessel, caught some blood, and mad$ several experiments by putting salt in it, and found that the blackest blood was instantly changed to a" bright i vermilion by salt." j 'Oh," said lie, - ;here is a fact which may lead to a practical rule."? . ; ; .v, .: .. ; ; ., -j . i. lie nau ouservea in cases oij yeikiw lever jr ct branny.: tliat the rbiod drawn aa very black and fluid, and on add ing salt it hecame vermilioii and Retained its freshness ; whereas putridity of the Jlood is one of tbe ; characteribtics pf, the yellow fever.

Paralyzed jstatesiaea. jV e published an! article reprettinjr that Chief J ustice Chase had beenj stricken with paralysis. We had Jread the frccoant in many of our cx changes, and, onsqueiitlyr supposed that the act could not be dlmbted. We are very glad to Uam that thev sdi8ense bF Mr Chase is not paralysis at all. tie bid been for some time suffering general debility induced by continued application to his jujjiciaj duties, and during the late jyery hot weathr h4 was ; tern jjorarily over come by the depresing heat, as were thousands of others, not only qf hia age, but of men much younger. J We are plad (a learn - that the attack was by n means seiousfand that 3! r Chas will in a;short ; timebe pjer'ectly restored tojiis usual health. At this anioun;ement none should be tmre; pleased than the ppople of the South ; for u-KtitH-j ,1a-. au more earnest -: centre tnan 3Iii C hase to see theia restored to all their riiiht under the L'onstitutu. 3Iay he Ions be wired to the country, whose judiciary he has so adorned. and which, we hope! haslher most exalted houor yetjin store for the Incorruptible judge. Sir! Chase is not the first eminent man about whom has been spread tlie Mory of an attack of paralysis. i-f it will not b;e lorgotten that about eighteen .months ago a! paragraph went the rounds of the papers thai Andrew Johnson has suffered a '-slight, attacil of paralysis," which report wasj Considered as more available for all practical political urpofees than if the attack hadj tlcen described sis -4'rious,,-which . could have been at once disproved. ; It is now noto rious!, however, thn Ariy .was never in more robt health in hi lifejthan- he is at present, or more redy to -charge yipoa his adversaries. Abbut sejven or eiht nionths asro a story went the V(iiinds; of the plpersj that Win, II. Seward also had been parayzed; which has likewise been proved to be utterly Without foundation, as M r ! Seward enjoys excellent health, and is a very active man for jne of ui age. 'I he time- was when" every, prominent politician in thej nation was accused of some great cribe Andrew Jickson wa charged with a nuntbei of murders. Daniel rebster of every species of rascality, and Ilenriv Clay acknowledged that his fops had proved him g uilty of sTieepKtealing: As these devices foil rui ling the character of our great men has . become stale and unprofitable, the politicjil : schemers have; resorted to another expedient, namely : f setting reports afloat that our great men have feen ft ruck icith paralysis, knowing that if sucl stories are believed by the people, the j chances of "those statesinen ; are effectually destroyedl Such accounts will, Jiere after, be valued at what thl-y are worth, when the people kaow tlie source fititn which they eiuauate. ! j - ;;::What jMary; Gave.

SheCould not have seen-them very often jf our generous Mary had not offered to attend the door and look after the kitchen fire while she was away. IJut this is s not all that Mary gave.

AgrioulturaL , Manure Makirsr. &c. Ed. Carolina Farmed .-Of all the daticl incumbent upon tho farmer, there is none so much neglected as that of 4anure making. Our farmers prove deficient in that which is of most interest, and supply its place with things of in ferior value. There is nothing in tho ecooumy of farming of more importance. No tillers of the soil are more industrious than the planters of North Carolina and all at a dis advantage. They are draVn eff from the im provement of their lands bf the hopes of reaping the benefit of new ground -As in other cases ignorance occasions distrust in our ability to ae rjaire anything that is of iijiportnoco. After the crops are gathered proceed to estab lish 3-our compact hj'aps, ad dt to fritter away precious time in the Fall. 'in pursuits of minor importance., it the larmcrs ot other sections had as we have ready ncccsto the woods where thousands of loads of leaves, mud, &e,,o;c., lie at a convenient distance from our barn yards, and may be composted ino excellent manure, we-would look wiih surprise -at their sucews. Our negligence and old habits lead us to the be lief that the restoration of jour lands is irupoMi blo, while we should prod ace twice.as much oa the land, team and labor ih'it we employ. The concentration of labd in individual pos session proves a barrier to SmprovemenL Less fiod is grown or planted, Ifewerllandseape im provements are made, and! the soil is generally less fully developed. No tarmer should think himself able to produce a rrt p, without the aid of astircorary. I am of the rtpiuion that it would pay some of our best farmers to receive daily wrges, better than toattempt to farm on such principles as ihey do. j v ' I hall. urge the propriety of establishing s ste: corary, for the receptior of all leaves, woods mold, mud. &c., &c-., that rrjay be collected, even around our doors without afiy cost or trouble. Excavate a pit in the ground about four or five feet deep, and ten or (wenty feet long and wide, and have it sheltered) as rain and the rays of the Sun increase the injttry done to the man ure in open courts or lots. Keep it well filled . and the profit arising from tins is amply sufficient to remunerate one for all tr'puble. ' By all meana let our farmers prevent this great outlay of SCO to 600 per ton for commercial fertilizers, which prove in many cases worthiest to both crops and land. . May tho farmers of . thisfsection awaken from ' their lethargy, and seize with avidity upon every means within their power tor the restoration of that soil they have so long kbused. Tatio. Riley' $ Creek, A'. C., SApt. 8lh. . Small Farms. lie content with a small place entirely paid for, if you have not the money to ouy a targe lartii. 1 M Do not bIjuw that eager and avaricious t int to owb "all the land that joins yours to ruin you. One of the curses of he size of our farms. our agricultural dihtrrcts is Forty acres paid for and thoroughly tilled is better and fa'r more remunerative than four hun dred under a heavy mortgage, and only half cul tivated. Where one man liiay succeed by rash ness in assuming large responsibilities, hundreds fail; and experience and observation will show that the successful owners f large tracts of land have usually icgun by small purchases for cash, and by gradual additions as they acquired wealth by iudustry and economy, -j j How to Hold the Fertility of the Soil Gypsum attracts. It is not only a manure in itself, but it attracts the manure from tho atmos phere that comes in contact with it (which is abundant on windy days) ; but it catches and holds the fertility of the ground that in some soils escapes. Lime wilt h'Iso do this so will clay. Clay, dried aud powdered, is an excellent thing to put on a barn yard or to cover a com post heap with, or work through the heap; hence we use gypsum and limejin our stables and privies. Gypsum is best; it lias the biost attrao lion, besides other properties. A little should be kept 'by every farmer fyrj use, even at a high ostj as the benefit is HoijiCtnjueH more important Thau the high. price. Hut we waste our manure. We not only permit its strcjngih to escape, bat we are gl.id to get it out of the way. The same , recklessness extends to the land. It is well our gnil has a good proportion of clay to bold its strength. !Ve must converse. .. The time is not far distant when we fchall b compelled to do it. Already there are.syniptonsfof lack in our Soil; . we do not raise as heavy crfps as we used to here and there a field, here and there a farm is less productive. It is uot so much that we need plaster in the South to Ji!d the strength of the 6oiI as to use it to abstract it from tbe atmos phere, and to save the ambtonia of our barn yards and stable. For this Jet us always keep . a little on hand. Let us save and improve our manure, and thus save our; farms. t'oman's Rural World.
