A scientific correspondent ot the New York Courier has made an important discovery in voltaic elec electricity, - tricity, electricity, whicu may be applied to the cure of weak nerves.

The hands must be without gloves so vthat the metals are in contact, auij the windows of the room should be opened when the broom is used, so as to admit the air freely.

A pretty story is told of the cas tins' of the bell for the church of St. Magdalen, of Breslau. When the metal was just ready to be poured into the mould, the chief found er went to dinner.and forbade his apprentice, under pain of death; to not touch the vent by which the metal wasconveyed. The youth. curious to see the operation, disobeyed or ders, the whole of the metal ran in to the mould, and when the enraged ' master re turned from his meal, slew the apprentice on the spot. " Oil "brealiinjj" awrty the mould ne found that lie had been too hasty lor the bell was cast as perfectly as possible. When it was hung in its place, and the master had. been sentenced - to death' by the ' sword, for the murder of the appi entice, he entreated the authorities that he ; might be allowed to hear it once before he died. His petition was granted and the bell has since been rung at every execution. ; 4 Dress for the Mind.

fliut we have evidence on this score stronger than an opinion founded on chemical analy-1 sis. Late experiments at the Wusbington Navy Yard demonstrated that English chain cable, of a certain thickness of diameter was ruptured by a Lref.king strain of 71C pounds less than was required to rupture American chain cable of tlie enme diameter. During the experiments at the Washing Washington - ton Washington Navy Yard, the strength of a chain of French manufacture, was also tried. It yielded at a breaking strain of 1081 pounds, while an American chain of the snme thick thickness - ness thickness only yielded at a strain of 1277 pounds. Similar results followed after ovei two hun hundred - dred hundred tests. With reference to Scotch and domestic iron, it is shown that the tenacity of the latter was more than double that of the former. .:. t- - ""' J' Castor Beans. fc"On a late trip of one of our New Orleans steamers, she ,was crowded with German emigrants. As might be expecteJ, their appetites for fruit aud vegetables, after a long sea voyage, was most voracious. At Salem, a short distance below this city, the boat received some fifteen or twenty saoksof castor beans, consigned to Mr. Blow. - The appearance of the beans being "good to the eye," excited the cravings of the emigrants. Finally, curiosity and appetite triumphed; a bag was surreptiously opened, a larga pan full extracted, and ahuge luncheon of soup prepared. In a short time the passengers in the cabin, and the officers of the boat, i were startled by the report that the cholera, in its worst form, had broken out on deck. On going below, they found that the castor j oil was doing its work. The bag lay exposed, and a large pot full of this rare delicacy steaming hot on the table, the thing was soon solved, and the captain had to jio into quarantine, because, as ho said, the Dutch didn't "know beans." wi Iiejpubli Iiejpubli-can. - can.
