De. Dixon, of the Scalpel, in one of bi- re- cent articles on lager beer and its comparative intoxicability, gives the following account of his own Lay = pai cy We began to drink early—a few days after pies we Dave bows at it ever taal ane id not begin exactly on grog, or tea, or coffee Pinta we have been told by our brethren they think we could have stood it even thus early. We are told we took to the latter, and the use of wine very kindly; it was a constitu- tional habit we derived from bape rk tory We were always taught to view a drunkard as a filthy creature, and, once confirmed in the babit, of little consequence, and better dead in alive; so we still think. We brought the matter of lager beer to the only test of which it was susceptible, namely, its actual use; thus we proceeded. After the use of i during the winter season, when we desired it, at twenty cents a bottle, holding an or tumbler full. we became perfectly familiar with its effects. We found it, after 2 hard | day’s professional labor, mental and physical, & generous provocative to a good plain dinner of roast beef or steak, and a decided comfort to the inner man; if taken before dinner, or at night, we always suffered a headache or loss of sleep; so we discontinued its use at those times, nor do we now use it during spring or summer, reserving it only for the coldest weather, when we can breathe it away, and not feel it in our head. In the spring and fall months we uso Philadelphia cle, but as soon as the summer avprenein, we invariably find that article either drugged or liquored up to the fuddling point; then we stop it, and take to claret, which never affects the head—as we use it— possibly because we never take enough, as in our humble opinion, all the brains a man has, especially if he knows them to be moderate in quantity. he had better keep in good working order, if he gets his living by surgery. We take black tea in the morning, for its ex- citing and sustaining properties—not in the evening, because its exciting property would keop us awake all night; greon tea is very delicious and very intoxicating, and we never ure it, because we know it to be so. Coffee we love dearly, and used in our youth to be a coffee sot. We left it off because it had nearly destroyed our digestion, avd gave us violent palpitations of the heart; our Rervous system cou'd not stand it; neverthe- Tess, we love it excessively still, as our nose informs us when we smell it, but we never use it. Now forthe experimentum crucis. Fal- kirk ale, costing twenty cents for a small pint, ives not produce any swimming in the head, ox confusion of ideas—although we know it contains spirit, because if it did not, it would not answer our purpose. Ciaret, about half-a- int, or much depressed, a pint—costing three ngs—we find just about as generous a stimulant as Falkirk ale. heat swim, and his eyelids droop as quick, and its effect will last as long, as the vilest kind of lager-beer; so we set that down in summer, as drugged or wy woes Lager-beer costs three cents, to six, differing in price ac- cording to the getting = of the place where it is drunk. Now, acouple of glasses will pro- duce more effect than either of the others; one is quite enough to be felt sensibly over the eyes, and is apt to be followed by headache. rt What the French Think About It. (Correspondence of Paris Patrie.) Saanonaz, July 14 —The behavior of the Americans, who never became militants during the whole affair, it is but just to acknowledge was worthy and becoming during the action. The evening before bustilities Commodore Tat- nal! offered the English Admural the assistance of his contingent of marines, small though it was—an offer cordially, though perhaps some- what tardily made; so it was not accepted. But on the morrow, as soon as the action had com- menced, the American despatch boat was in front of the line of anchorage, not firing a sin- gle shot it is true, but moving everywhere that its assistan-e was thought necessary, receiving the wounded, and coming to the aid of those gunboats that suffered most, when it beheld their maneuvers endangered or embarrassed — in a word, calmly and cou: ust, cs its post of. honor by the side of the English. e American Minister, who at firet refused to believe in the existence of a practicable arm of the river at ten miles from Peiho, had Sent to reconpoitre, and had verified the cor- Tectness of the information given by the Man- pis at Takou, and at the moment we were eaving the Petcheli he was preparing to make @ second exploration in that quarter, so n= to assure himself, with the assistance of a Chinese pilot promised him by the Governor of the province, whether the arm of the river was practicable to Tien-isin for a vessel of the draught of the despatch boat. Since then no intelligence ef the doings of the United States Legation has arrived at Shanghae. I will add that, looking at the position which the Amer- jean policy sseumed towards the Chinese gov- ernment in 1558-59, it is not impossible we may learn that Mr. Ward has exchanged the ratifications of his treaty, if not at Pekin, at least Tien-tsin or elsewhere—tho place of exchange not having been specified in their treaty concluded last year. Moreover, takin; inte account the traditional subtlety of Cbi- nese policy, a favorable reception fer the United States fleg at the Court of Pekin, under ¢xist- ing cireumstapces aud after late events, seems to me the most skitiful mesne—if not perhaps the only one—for that court’s relieving itself in the eyes of Europe from the responsibility of what has occurred: establishing by the very nature of the reception the vast difference that its own dignity, as well as the integrity of its menaced territory, comnelled it to make be- tween an ally peacefully presenting himself sad another arriving at the gates of the capi- tal, with all the appearance of a nation, if not hostile, at least of one disposed to employ force. +e As Avvain ov Honor setwees Cart.

At the distance of twenty-two yards three other stumps are sim: ilarly placed, and in front of the stum r wickets, as are termed—a line, distant four feet from the wicket, is drawn, marking the boundary of the batsman’s ground, outside of which he is liable at all times to be put out. The object of the bowler is to knock down the stumps or hit the bails M™ with the ball, the aim of the batsman being to prevent him, and at the same time to hit the ball a sufficient dis- tance to admit of his running from wicket to wicket before the stumps are knocked down witk the ball. For every such run he scores one. Twenty-two players are engaged in a nr contest—eleven on aside. Eleven go into the field, taking various positions—such as those of ‘ bowlers’’—of which there are two—‘‘wicket-keeper,’’ ‘“‘long-stop,”’ ‘*point,’’ ,’’ “cover-point,’’ “ mid-wicket, off and OUR ENLARGED PARLOR HEATER. is. after three years’ thorough test, considered compatent judges to be the best heat Bae, the must popular stove in the market Mg or more stori Clapp " asa liable and examine i GLOBE RANGE, Out of the large number put pare met (eps expect iven entire aatisfacti an FONE, MAMMOTH.

The ball must be bowled, not thrown or jerked, and the bateman is put out when the ball pases his bat and knocks the wicket down, or when he hits the ball in the air and it is caught before touchin the ground, or if the bails are knocked o: while he is out of his ground.

Water, although a very unstable element, produces quite permanent effects upon the face of our glo! teuts down mountains, scoops out valleys, wears away precipices, and builds new lands along the river mouths. Always seeking a level itself, it is the greatest leveller of the dry land. Most of the surface of our globe having been elevated by subterranean violence, has come up in a very rough and tumbled condition. The inequalities of its sur- face, when newly elevated, favor the collec- tions of large bedies of water, which, when sending out their streams like so many tga | arms, immediately commence the work smoothing the surface of the land, smoothing its roughness, and bringing it into a condition more favorable to the operations of man. Thus the of any portion of the earth’s surface may in some measure be determined by the character of its streams and the general distr- bution of water upon its surface. In those countries, like France and Brazil. whose rivers are smooth and navigable, no lakes are found, while in those in which they exist the rivers are full of oxtsracta, and are in a great measure unnavigable. In the course of one or two thousand centuries, most of the lakes in our States will be drained, the cata- DENTISTRY. feels that he oan with coahdence recom-, mend the Cheoplastic Process for insortin, Srtificial tecth Jt has the advantazes o! streng*h, beauty, cleanliness upper nels inserted for C Ros 306 Pa. avenue.
