to slavery. As a melancholy proof of this, we know, that scarcely a Court passes without some one coming forward, who had been held in servi tude as a slave, and asserting his right to freedom. But few however, in this deplorable condition have ever the opportunity and mentis of asserting their right to the precious boon, which the Gpd of nature gave them, and are therefore, with their posterity doom ed to drag out a miserable life of slavery. To him, who would thus set at defi ance the laws both of God and man, by stealing human beings for the sake of gain, we should say, —“Is there not some chosen curse, Some hidden thunder in the stores of Hea ven, Red with uncommon wrath, to blast the wretch!!” South. Jldv. A New Thing.—An Almanack has been arranged by Cadet Palmer, on a space equal to the two faces of a quarter of a dollar, showing without the least calculation, the days of the month, Dominical letters, together with the rising and setting of the sun for the 1st and 15th of every month, beginning with the year one, or com mencement of the Christian era, and terminating at the end of 8000 years, from the same. The operations are performed with ease and despatch— indeed sooner than can be found by a common almanack. It may be ar ranged either on the handle of a knife or a watch case, or an engineers’ rule, in short wherever is the space above montioned. It would fit the the cov er of a tobacco box, exactly. Dog Nail Factory.—In the upper part of this village, on the road to Whitesborough, there has been in ope ration, for some months past, a small manufactory of wrought nails, which is carried on solely by a poor but in dustrious German lately arrived in this country; together with his two dogs, who are equally industrious.— The bellows is kept constantly in blast by the dogs running in a wheel with a little coarse apparatus attached to it. They are in perfect training and re lieve each other at regular periods, and both man and dogs are in almost perpetual motion from early dawn till night fall. The nails produced are of the most finished and perfect kind— and the establishment merits on every accounU the patronage of the public, and we learn, receives it liberally. Utica Sentinel. From the Indiana Whig. tlure for the bite of a Snake.—As the public in the western country are much interested in knowing whatever may be a good remedy for the poison injected into the human flesh by the bite of a snake, I think it my duty to slate a fact within my own knowledge: About the year 1815 or 1816, one of my children was bitten by a copper head, on the inside of both ankles, nearly at the same instant. I imme diately procured pulverised charcoal & mixed it with as much hogs-lard as made it adhere. I then made a plas ter of it, and applied it to the wounds, renewing the plaster every twenty or thirty minutes, for ten or twelve hours, at the same time giving the child fresh milk to drink. This rem edy had the desired effect., and very little pain was endured after the first application. Not more than five min utes elapsed from the time the child . was bitten until the cure was applied, and in that short time so violent was the advance of the poison, being near a bloodvessel, that its tongue was much swollen, and green matter was vomit ed by the child; but the effect of the antidote was nearly as instantaneous as the poison. Several of my neigh bours, in the vicinty of Newport, near Blairsville, in this county, can attest the above facts. JAS. M’CORMICK. Cure for iccris.—The following ex traordinary fact has lately come to our knowledge: A planter in the vi cinty of Raleigh', (N. C.) had been for some years afflicted with a wen on his faeck^which grew so large as to be very inconvenient and distressing.— After trying a number of remedies, be was advised by one of his neighbors to wash it two or three times a day with strong salt water, (water in which salt had been dissolved.) He did so, and to his great relief and comfort, the wen gradually decreased jn size, and finally disappeared! Let those who arc similarly afflicted, “go and do likewise.”—Hal. Reg. Arabian method of preparing Coffee. It is found that the only certain mode of retaining the pure flavor of the coffee, is to roast, pound and boil it, all in quick succession, the roasted berries soon losing their flavor if laid by for a day, and the pounded coffee becoming insipid even in a few hours. The Arabs of the desert who are from necessity economical in the use of this article, follow the same process, e- ven if they require only two cups of the liquid, roasting a handful of ber ries on an iron plate, pounding them in the pestle and mortar while warm, and the instant the water boils, which it generally does by the time the other preparations are completed, so that no time is lost, putting the pounded coffee into it, and suffering it to boil, stirring it at the same time for a min ute or two, when it is poured out to drink. As the Level age is taken with out sugar or milk, the slightest differ ence in flavor is perceptible; and long experience having shown this to be the best way of preserving it in perfection, it is perhaps worth mentioning in de tail, particularly as the use of this ar ticle has become so general even in England.—Li lacking ham's Travels. Ciiili.—Chili is a line, salubrious, flourishing republic. After a war of seventeen years, they are beginning to enjoy repose. Last year, about six new political, and literary journals have started into existence. A Yan kee has established a paper in that country. They have a line of coast of 80U leagues, from Alcama to Cape Horn. As an indication of the health iness of the climate, the following anecdote is given: “ In the canton of Culiua, a man 116 years old, and a woman of 107, died in June, 1827. There remains in the same place a peasant of 108, who sub sists on his daily labour, another of 104 still more hardy, who mounts his horse with ease, and a woman supposed to be older than either, because nobody in the country remembers to have seen her other than an old woman.— She has forgotten her own age.” Apple Trees.—The New England farmer contains a letter from Samuel Preston, of Stockport, Penn, on what have been supposed native apple trees, lie believes that the fruit was known in this country before its discovery by Columbus, and cites several facts. The Townsend Apple, known in Pennsylvania, was derived by the writer, more than sixty years ago, from a remarkably large & aged tree, thirty four miles northwardly from Philadelphia. A tradition preserved in the country is, that Richard Town send, a famous quaker preacher, who came over with Penn in 1682, hear ing of this tree, and that it was resort ed to by many Indians in the season, to feed on the ripe fruit, went there to preach to them, and eventually purchased the land from them, though they reserved to themselves the tree. Nearly forty years ago it fell, and an attempt was made to ascertain its age from the appearance of the trunk, but the interior was so much decayed that it was impossible. The apples are described as of rather a flat shape.— They are thought to have diminished in size about one third—but they re tain their flavour, which is delicious. Another tree, the wi iter mentions, was found in the year 1714 not far from the same plrce, growing wild in the forest, and yielding white apples, which from their coming early to ma turity, were called Harvest Sweets. It bore marks of age when discovered, and died many years Ago. The fruit derived from it is much larger than the original.—N. Y. Advertiser. A way to give 5 pounds instead of 1.— Two gentlemen, while canvassing at a London parish, called at every house to solicit subscriptions for the poor, and having opened a door, they over heard the master seriously lecturing a servant, for having cast a card e end into the fire; on which they said to each other, let us go, we shall get nothing here. The master, observing them walking out; demanded their business; they said they were solicit ing aid for the poor at this inclement season of the year. On hearing which he desired them to walk in, when he put down his name for 5 pounds, to the great surprise of the collectors'.— “Pray Sir,” said they “how is this liberality consistent with scolding the poor girl for throwing a candle end in to the fire? “Perfectly consistent,” said he, “for most persons are careful about valuable things, and so am I, but I am equally careful about what many call trifles, which enables me to give you live pounds instead of one!” Cold water.—Two person died in Baltimore on the 25th June, in conse quence of drinking cold w’ater: one of them left a wife and six clildrerr— “All that, is necessary,” sayt the Pat riot, “to avoid injury from, drinking cold water, is to take smal mouth fuls, and hold them in the mouth a moment or two before, ^allowing them. In this way, thirst will be quenched by the time a very mode rate quantity is takeq> and the system will be cooled much more than if a I large quantity is suddenly thrown up on the stomach. If previous to drink ing, the hands and wrists are wi^sh- ed, and the mouth rinsed, it will he still better. [Translatedfor the Charleston Curier t from the German.] THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD. Among the commercial houses in Europe or elsewhere, which from ob scure origin^ by discernment and ad vantageously embracing the oppportu- nities, equdly at the command of ma ny others, by their prudent en erpriz- es, upright proceedings, and |articu- larly by contenting itself w-itli acertain moderate profit in their imineilse con cerns, have become great, floiirishing and powerful, the House of Roths child certainly stands pre-eminent- At the recent death of one who was thought the richest banker of Europe —(M. V. Bethmaun,. in' Frankfort,) when an inventory was token of his estate, liis property did not exceed $2,000,000; when fron infallible sources, the House of t. (or more properly speaking, the fve brothers) possess, wholly unincumiered, $20,- 000,000, and through tleir immense influence may connnam 40,000,000 more. Mayor A Rothschild, their father, was born at Frankfort, in the Maine, in the year 1743. He list his parents when eleven years old, md being left in very indigent circumstances, lie was put apprentice to a tradt, in which sit uation he served some ytors, when he quit it, and commenced 'trafficking in a small way. About that time a lucra tive prospect opened itself for the con- noisseurs of ancient coins and medals, wherein the great and the opulent made considerable selections and pur chases, which induced Mr. R. to ap ply himself to this particular branch and to acquirte the accessary knowl- edge, in order to make the proper se lections. By dint of industry he made thereby a decent living,, and from his intercourse with the wealthy, procur ed himself such respectable acquain tances as proved in the end of great ad vantage to him. Mr. R. at the same time fixed his mind to obtain the neces sary knowledge required in a counting house, w hich soon obtained for hi in a situation in a respectable banking house in Hanover, in which he faithfully served for several years—and by dili gence and strict economy, realized a small capital when he returned to his native city; then married, and laid the foundation of the present ertablish- ment. His activity, knowledge, and strict integrity, soon obtained him credit and confidence, and an opportu nity soon offered which gave him a chance of extending his commercial view r s, by the Landgrave of Hesse, who had become acquainted with him by the purchase of ancient coins—and wherein he had always proved himself trusty.and useful—appointing him his court agent. In this capacity he sub sequently rendered CQiinent services to the then Elector of Hesse—for while this personage, in the year 1806, was obliged to quit his territory, on account oi the approach of the French army. Mr. R. succeeded to secure, but not without personal danger, through pru dent management, a large portion of the Elector’s private funds, which would have inevitably become a prey to Napoleon, and conscientiously ad ministered them for the benefit of the Elector. His affairs now assumed a high standing, through government loans—about which time he concluded a loan with the court .of Denmark of $3,000,000. ■ In the year 1812 \fr. R. Seeing his end approaching, hi summoned his ten children to his bed side, and after giv ing them his parentil benediction, ex horted them, under i solemn promise, never to change their religious creed; and strenuously recommended to his sons, to observe amongst each other an inviolable union. And never lias a fa ther’s admonition been more strictly attended to—for it is a very remarka ble characteristic of this family, that its male members, at every transaction of consequence, do, as it were, consult the words of their departed sire, and very often,remind each other ci' his prudent advice, fostered through wis dom and experience, and never utter his name without reverence. The ar rangements which the House of Roths child entered into in 1S13, respecting some very extensive money transac-' tions, has given it its present standing | in the commercial world. Whilst it j maybe here remarked, that in'the course of twelve years, they, through their mediation and interest, and with their own means, entered into contracts ! to furnish by loans and subsidies, the immense sum of live hundred million of dollars, to the different courts in Europe: without taking into conside ration the by no means inconsiderable sums advanced on account of French indemnifications. How the House of Rothschild could furnish such exten sive means during this period, has no doubt been a question with many com mercial men and politicians. W hen it is, however, taken into con- sideral’M, that the result of extensive operations does not solely depend on chances taken at some favorable mo ment, but in this instance, rather on the fundamental maxims always pur sued by the house. It would then ap pear that the great success of their speculations principally hinged on those maxims, which were, as before staled, that the five Brothers did con duct their business in uninterrupted harmony among themselves, and with file strictest integrity—which was the golden rule, their dying parent be queathed, that they jointly deliberated upon every transaction—and wherein each enjoyed an equal share. And al though residing far apart from each other for years, this did in no instance infringe on their adopted principles, but must have proved in fact, benefi cial to all, as it gave each hand the un- dcniable advantage to watch the move ments of the court where he was lo cated—make the necessary prepara tions for the speculations which were to be entered into, and then communi cate the result to the General Concern. The second maxim which the House of Rothschild took into view was, as be fore stated, to he satisfied with a mod erate advance on their operations—al ways to keep them within certain bounds, and so far as human foresight and prudence would admit, to be inde pendent cl the sport of chance. Bv strictly adhering (o such unejeviating principles, they have no doubt acquir ed that lofty station they hold in the community; whilst their merits have been publicly acknowledged by most of the European Courts, THE SABBAT*!!. From a Sermon by the Ilev. Gardiner Spring. Ignorance and barbarism form no part of the character of men who re vere the Lord’s day. Carry the priv ileges of this day to the most abject on the globe, and just in the propor tion in which they are subjected to its influence, do you elevate them from their intellectual degradation. It ad dresses its obligations, and presents its privileges, to all orders and classes of men. Conceive then the great mass of the community, devoting one day in seven, to the attainment of knowledge; one day in seven, searching the Holy Scriptures; and then appreciate the benefits of the Sabbath. It is obvious that temporal prosperity would be the natural result of the observation of the Sabbath, if it secured no other bless ing than those to which we have al ready referred. But there are other particulars, in which the tendencies of this day, exert a most salutary in fluence on human society. The pro vision which this day affords, as a sea son of rest, to laboring animals, the re^t and refreshment secured to man kind, the neatness & cleanliness which it promotes, especially among the lower classes of men, the softness and civility of manners which it. diffuses throughout a community, all these e- vince, that “the Sabbath' w,iS made for man/’ Blot out the Sabbath, and you blot out the last beam of hope from, the troubled and desponding soul, and darkness will cover the earth, and gross darkness the people.” To you who are Magistrate's, and invested with authority, permit me respectfully to say, the ordinance of God, and the voice of a free people, have elevated you to posts of dignify and power, that you may be the sentinels of public vir tue. Never lose sight of this day.— You cannot put yourselves oeyond <ho reach of hope and heaven, so long as you sanctify the Sabbath. Physicians.—A physician recoirf- mended to a patient to lake coffee ill preference to tea. A person who neard him, said, if he had prescribed the coffee for himself, instead of tea, he should not have been surprised; for physicians like to have a fee attached to every tiling they have to do with. Two citizens were comparing notes upon the merits of (heir spouses; mine, said the one, would be a very good wife, if she were not so talkative.— “ Talk-at-eve/” replied the other, “why, you arc a happy fellow; my wife talks morning noon and night.” New Jersey and New York.—Messrs. Webster, Wirt, Wall, Wood, Freling- huysen, and Vrooni, have been em ployed as counsel for New-Jersey, to conduct the suit in tiie supreme court of the United States, against the state of New-Yoi'k, relative to the long dis puted boundary between the tuo states. The number of persons who hard emigrated from the united kingdom of Great-Britain, since 1815, to the Bri tish provinces in North America, is computed at 350,000. Heavy Crops.—Capt. James Per kins, of Essex, Mass, raised lcitt sea- sot?. on an acre and a half of land 72 bushels Indian corn, 10 bushels of po tatoes, 70 bushels of whiter apples, 80 bushels of turnips, 2 loads of squashes, and two bushels of beans.— One third of the land alluded to con sisted of gravelly knolls, in 1826 the whole was planted with Indian corn. Forsaking tie Cross.—A Roman Pilgrim, who had performed a pil grimage all the way from the Nether lands to Rome, carrying across up ml Liis back weighing 18 pounds, was on Lis return, convinced of the imposi tions of popery, and left his cross at Geneva. Quick If or/:.—During flic proces sion of the different trades, See. at Baltimore, on the 4th, the weavers wove a quantity of cloth, which being immediately banded to tls-c? tailors, washy them cut out and made into a coat in 35 mi.iutes. The batters made a bat and the cordwainers a pair of shoes—which were severally pre sented to the venerable Carroll. Russia has acquired (by her late treaty with Persia) Mount Ararat, where Noah’s ark rested after t’.e flood. Curious view or. the Df.Vils’ ig norance.
