. B. & D. G. Mills.—It appears'that the suspen-
sion of the house of McDowell <fc Milla,. N¿* Or-
leans,' and'the stagnation in the cotton market
''1 with other emoarrassments in business incident to
i present state of affairs, have caused a partial
suspension of the house shove named,, in this oity.
We understand, however, that it is confined mainly
; r tp afc^fetañoeé for parties who llave fallid to provide
1 means for protecting their drafts, and that the
«Mttaéf depositor* will be met in most cases wlth-
, ont delay. We hate. no information in regard to

from current reports, and have little knowledge of
th^extént of its liabilities and assets, both of which
are doubtless verjflárge. " i: '

JKwxlut's Gold.—This term is applied to alloys
of gold used for trinkets and inferior articles of
jewelry, ranging from 8 to 4 .katatB fine and up-
wards, or which are too inferior to receive the
Hall mark. The lowest alloy of this class is formed
of eopper 16 parts ; silver, 1 to If- parts; gold, 2
to 8 parts, melted together. This is worth only
from 8s. 6d. to B«. 6d. the ounce. "It has recently
been /ound that gold of the 12 karats, or less, if
alloyed with zinq instead of the porópef quantity of
silver, presents a color very «early equal to that
of a metal at least 2$ or 8 karats hibger, or of 8s.
or 10s. an ounce more value; and the consequence
has been that a large quantity of jewelry has been
made of gold alloyed in this manner, and the same
has been purchased by some shop keepers, very
much to their own loss, as that of the public, inas
much as a galvania action is produced after a time
upon gold «o alloyed, by means of which the metal
is split into separate pieces, and the articles ren-
dered perfectly useless. Gold chains, pencil cases,
thimbles and lockets, are-the articles of which the
publio and the shop keepers will do well to take
heed, as these have, among some other things,
been so lately constructed."

A Finx Mwd DxsTBOTzn.—The fate of the
gifted Haskell of Tennessee should be a warning to
all voung men. He passed' through Lonisville last
week in charge of friends, on bis way to the. Luna-
tio Asylum at Lexington. While on the Franklin
cara fe aroee,and in the most eloquent and pathetio
terms appealed to the gallant Eentuckians, among
whom be was, to proteot him from the relentless
enemies he imagined were pursuing bim. He be-
came so excited and violent that, bis friends were
forced to oonfine bim. The career of this gifted
but unfortunate son of genius should be known for
the lesson wbioh it teaohes. From his earliest boy-
hood, says the Nashville Banner, ' he bits shown
himself possessed of the highest order .of talent.
While at college he distinguished himself as a poet
and orator. His graduating speech is spoken of by
thoeewhO heard it as wortbv of theimmortal Pren-
tiss ih his palmiest days. He served his country
oñ the battle-field and in the Halls of Congress. It
Waa his residence at Washington that oonflrmed up-
on him thoee unfortunate habits wbieh finally
blasted his intelleot. He at once broke the fiery
serpent from bis hands, and dashed it to the earth.
To make bis own reformation oomplete, and aid in
lifting up others who bad falles .like bimself, he
went through the States lecturing on temperance.
The toqjr was an eminently successful and brilliant
one, his lectures being fully equal to those of
Gougb, whose eloquence has electrified thousands in
tbis oonntry and England. But bis old habits
lined the mastery of bim again, and hissubeeqnenl
fe has been but a fearful struggle between bis
appetite and bis ambition—a struggle in wbioh, it
must be confessed, his appetites huve generally
triumphed. So great, indeed, was'his craving for
artificial stimulants that even while delivering bis
temperance lectures, he made use of drugs; sufficient
in quantity and potency to burn Out tne vitals of
an ordinary man. Therqyras no subject, whether
ancient or modern, grave or gay, upon which he
did not oonverse with fluenoy and eloquence. He
passed with the most careless ease from the pro-
foundest disquisition upon the doctrines of the Bible
the religion of Confucius", $r the Baconian philo-
sophy, to the lightest literature of. the day.
Cowx*.-*A vety few- persons, and I believe a
small number of medical men, know that coffee is
one of the most Important antidotes to many dead-
ly poisons, and to a great many ordinary drugs.—
Many patients receiving the right rémediee, but not
being -prohibited from -taking coffin, destroy the
intended effects of their medicine; become worse,
and lead the physician to change the right treat-
ment into a false, and, perhaps, unhappy one, whQe
the Blmple knowledge of the above ,foot would have
contributed to ameliorate their state and save them.
But far more important ia it to know that the fatal
reeulte of many accidental^ spontaBeoue, or canonal
empoison mente, oótíld be stopped almost instantly
by administering that simple antidote, coffee, while
tbe loes of time in calling a physician &e., is the
only oause of the loes of lifa. j
We accuse fortune of blindneee, when it showere

think,- that-a prodigal should have them then a
miser. The prodigal, at all evente, invites others to
share his good fortune with him—the miser would
keep it all entirely to ldmeelf.

Candt and Poison.—A paper on "Colored Con
fectionary," was recently read before the British
Association from whioh we condense some valua-
ble and novel information. We learn that, for
economy's sake, confectioners, in coloring candies,
4c., have recourse for their greens, to Brunswick
green, carbonate of copper, or arsenite of copper;
for the yellows, to chromate of lead or gamboge;
for their reds, to red lead, vermiliion, or cinnabar;
and for their whites, to white lead. These are on-
ly a few of the pernicious coloring agents used,and
they are among the deadliest of poisons. The way
itt which these poisons are laid on also deserves a
word of passing remark. In some instances a very
thin Coating of tbe coloring matter is used, so as
to spread over a very large surface a small portion
of the material used; but in other cases the very
reverse is tbe fact, and in one instance was procur-
ed from a piece of ornamental table confectionary,
not tbe size of a sugar almond, a quantity of erse
nite of copper sufficient to destroy the life of a
healthy adult Confectioners have no reason to
¡'these poisons, for there are harmless vegeta-
ble colorsenough to answer their purposes. Among
these are—For yellows, saffron, turmeric, French
berries, Persian berries, quercitron bark, fustic
wood, aud lakes of the last four colors. Beds—
cochineal, lake ditto, including carmine, Brasil
wood, madder, and lakes of the last two colors
Purples—madder purple, logwood and indigo, any
of the lakes with indigo orlitimus. Bines—litimus
and indigo. Greens—Bap green, (rhamus cathar-
ticus), mixtures of any of the vegetable yellows or
lakes with indigo, including Persian berries and
indigo, nor would tbe products of their art. suffer
in their attractive appearance by the employment
of such colo:s. We most strODgly advise every
one who values his health, and perhaps his life, as
matters are at present constituted, sedulously to
avoid partaking of articles of confectionary exhib-
iting either blue Oí green, but especially of such as
are green, these latter being but tott frequently of
* most deadly poisonous nature.

firstgeneral publication to the:world was through
the .pages of Eugene Sue's romance, where one of
the characters, Bodin, tbe Jesuit priest, undergoes
the ordeal. The traifquil bourse of life in our Ger-
man home, says Bicbard Willis, in a letter from
abroad,"was for a time interrupted by tbis terrible
operation on one of our -household. Among the
five Americans who had gradually collected under
the roof, was a young Bostonian, who bad left bis
native city for foreign travel as a pulmonary in-
valid; the Boston physicians considering his diffi-
culty of hopeless alleviation in that climate—if
any. There lived in Frankfort at the time'(and
perhaps now) a physician of considerable celebri-
ty, Holfrash Sohott.1 The more timid and'conser-
vative of his profession were afraid of him, for he
belonged to what may be called the Heroio school
of medicine—a sohool which is generally successful
in proportion to the amount of genius and profes-
sional nerve of the individual practitioner, added
to that mysterious instinct, wnioh we sometimes
find in men. The Bostonian was persuaded to an
examination by Sohott, who found one lung, as he
expressed It, badly verdichtet, or clogged with dis-
ease, although as yet no tubercle had formed—he
told us, however, that in a week or a fortnight this
might intervene.
"It is not too late then I" we said. .*
"By no means, if immediately taken in hand."
"The Moxa—rather severe, but effeotual."
At that time the blessings of insensibility through
ether or chloroform, although announced in Amer-
ica, bad only been heard ofln Europe. Physical
pain, therefore, was still to be met with the eyes
and consciousness wide open. Sohott came on the
appointed day with an assistant. The patient lay
on a sofa with his head averted to the wall, bis
breast being bared to the operators, one of us hold-
ing his shoulders and another his feet. The blow
pipes were then produced, the flame of even one of
which íb sufficient to melt the obduracy of Bolid
metal. Each operator took his blow pipe, and the
concentrated intensity of two flames was directed
through a tube dipped in saltpetre, to the Bide of
the chest—opposite the Beat of the disease. The
flesh shriveled up like tinder—and a circular spot,
tbe size of a dollar, was quickly laid bare to the
bone. The poor fellow bore his agony with the he-
roism of an Indian—he never whimpered.
An irritating salve was afterwards daily applied
to the wound. Diseased matter began to flow out,
and soon the draught upon the lung itself cbuld be
distinctly felt, which organ gradually and percept-
ibly cleared itself. The air cells opened again "to
the blessed health giving air of heaven ; a deep
breath could once more be drawn; tbe ominons pain
in tbe back, the deadly night sweat, the fatal oough
ceased. Tbe spectre^of a seemingly inevitable des-
tiny fled discomfitted—conquered by fire.
Three months from that time was the season of
grapes. The wound tfas allowed to close; the Moxa
had done its work, and the fruit of the vine was to
orown the cure. Father Bbine yielded us bushel
baskets of the richest fruit. The grapes, for their
better preservation, were hung upon cords in an up-
per room; eight pounds a day of tbem were pres-
cribed for consumption, while other food, with the
exception of bread and a few vegetables, was most-
ly prescribed.- The Bovtonian submitted to this
second step in his cure with still greater heroism
than the first—he walked three times a day into
the room, and, ohary of the trouble of picking the
grapes off with elevated head he ate them from the
lines like a fox. Health returned, and flesh and
strength—permanently returned. A still raore sal-
ient instance of resoue by Moxa was another pati-
ent of Sohott, a young Frankfort banker, who, in
the apparently last stages of the disease, endured
the Moxa to a mnoh greater extent, and was also
permanentlyeured. The grape-cure, as an inde-
pendent remedy in itself, ib much in vogue on the
Bbine. Bingen is much visited in the grape sea-
son by persons who live for a month ohiefly on
grapes.

Isthmus of Uarlen.
At the isst session of Congsess, that body appro-
priated some tweéty-flve thousand dollws for the
purpoee of making explorations and verifying sur-
veys whibh have already been made, of a ship canal
near the IstbmuB of Darien, to connect the waters
of the Paoifie and Atlantio oceans by tbe Atrato and
Turanda rivers. The Secretaries of War and Navy
ware authorised by the same aot to employ, under
the direction of the President, suoh officers of the
army Uhd navy as might be necessary ty the pur-
pose. The New York Journal of Commerce is gra-
tified to learn that this important work Is about to
be undertaken by a party in oharge of Lt Craven,
of.-tbe navy, and Lieut. Bradford and Dr. O'Hara
as his assistants. An officer of the army and five or
six engineers are to- be added, and tbe party is ex-
acted to sail in a few days from the Navy Yard,
Brooklyn, in the coast survey schooner Virginia,
wbioh has been detailed for the duty in consequence
of her light draft of water. It is to be regretted
that the riveTS oi tbe Isthmus are so shallow as to
preclude the use of our small steamers; for they
would be far more serviceable in,the prosecution of
this work than the snug little fcre-and-after that
has been selected. From the intelligence received
from the Isthmus, there is very reason to believe
that the project of a ship canal between tbe two
oceans is practicable.

Major Stansbury has received orders to report at
San Antonio, Texas, the headquarters of that mil-
itary division. Major S. is to assume charge of tbe
Topographical Department of that division, and
leaves for his destination to-morrow.
Post Knowledge.—The Boston Post gives us the
following nice disquisition on a poet
"Newoome Nonfit is a poet. He showed one of
his effuBions, the other day, and as it was not long,
We read it. It proved very plainly that Mr. Nonfit
was one of those poets who are neither born or made.
So we said scMly, "Why don't you write prose, Mr.
Nonfit I" Nonfit smiled, and answered, like á man
who oould afford to waive the honor, "Never write
prose—have no taste for it—poetry comes much
more natural, and I always write poetry, if any-
thing." "But 'morn1 and 'dawn' are not rhymes.
Mr. Nonfit." "No! they're allowable, ain't they !"
said the poet, susprised al this unexpected criti-
[. "What would you do where the word won't
oism.
rhyme exactly Í" "Leave 'em both out," we sug-
gested. "But how,- in that case, would you Bave
the couplet!" said Nonfit. "Omit the couplet, and
it's safe enough.'' "But that would sacrifice the
thought," said Nonfit, amazed. "So much tbe bet-
ter," we answered, getting earnest as the discourse
went on—"so much the better. Atbought you can't
express- in good verse mars the poem, and two or
three murder it outrinbt. Try prose awhile, Mr.
Nonfit—'learn grammar—It's useful even to a man
of genius and a poet. Tax yourself with syntax-
then go from prose to prosody. Yon have ears en-
ough, but oultivate your ear—and remember that a
poem made up of allowable faults is not allowable
poetry."
Mr. Nonfit retired witb a look of extreme disgust,
and sent bis next effusion to that elegant hebdomitt
al, "The Gnshing Fountain and Bushing Roarer."
It was worthy of the honor.
errbavasanob in the Olden Time.—A very aged
member of the police department, who retains in a
wonderful degree the recollections of boyhood,
states tbat in 1798, the women wore hoops, but not
as at present, conformable more or léss to the fig-
ure. Then each women wore a sitíele hoop, and
this was.as large as the lower one now worn. The
hoos was worn as high as the hips, and below it
depended a train, often five or six yards long, that
swept tbe sidewalk, or wasoarried by waiting maids
or boys. The old gentleman recollects seeing Mrs.
Morris, wife of the wealthy Bobert Morris, of Phil-
adelphia, Walk along Broadway in Company with
Aaron Bnrr; while her train was borne by six re-
markably handsome French muatee women, richly
dressed, and with showy turbans on their heads.
-Tbe women then all wore stays, and shoes with
heels two or three inobes high, immense silver buo-.
klee being on the shoes. Silk dresses were not then
common, and those muslin ones worn were admir-
ed according to the size of the flowers on them, ros-
es as large as one's bat being considered the
ultra of fashionable display and taste.—Baltimore

Coet Bosinbss.—The Chicago Tribune is re-

The pCBcer of one of our financia^Pititutions
had forwarded some produce, received by him as
collateral, to an Oswego house to sell. The Oswego
concern did not come up to time, and our Chicago
financier proceeded to that city in person to de-
mand a response, either in specie or in coin. En-
tering the counting-room of the Oswegonian, the
following colloquy ensued:
Chicago Financier—"Is Mr. H. at home f
H.—"Tbat íb my name, sir—take a seat."
C. P.-—"My name is Mr. , of Chicago, and
I've come for the 1§,000 bushels of wheat I sent
you the other day."

C. F.—"Very well, then I want the money for
it."
H.—"I haven't got the money, sir."
C. F.—"What has become of it, sir t" ~
H.—"I've paid my debts with it.*'
G. F.—(In great indignation) "You are a scound
rel, sir!"
H.—(Itefrigeratorily) "Very likely, and may be
theré's a pair of us. I'm sorry my carriage is not
here, as I should like to show you about the city."
There was too much ice in H.'s composition for
C. F., and he incontinently "left."
The above is, we are told, literally true, and it is
a precious exhibition of the honesty of the opera-
tors.
Mr. Bildftd Jones, mate of the Connecticut river

Mate, you just go for'ard and 'tend your part
of the skdnner. and I'll tend to mine. ' Bildad
went forward, let go the anchor, walked aft, and
reported : "Captain Spuner-, my part of tbe sknn-
