It is eaten professedly for one or both of two purposes : First, that the eater may thereby ac quire freshness of complexion and plumpness of j figure. For this purpose, as will readily be sup-; posed, it is ctiiefiy eaten by the*f oung. i Second, j that the wind may lie improved, sqthiit longand steep heights may he climbed without difficulty of breathing. Bv the midil!e-ag* , d and the old it is esteemed for its influence, and both results are describ.nl as following almost iuvarihly from the use of arsenic. To improve their appearance, young peasants, of both sexes, have recourse to it. some no doubt from vanity, and some with tin- view of adding to their charms in the eyes of each other. And it is very remarkable to see how wonderfully wl*U they attain their object—for these poison eaters are generally remarkable for blooming complex ions, and a full, rounded healthy appearance.— Dr. Von Tschudi gives the following eases, ns having occurred in his own practice : “A heal thy but pale and thin milkmaid, residing in the parish of II , had a lover whom she wished to attach to herself by a more agreeable exterior. She therefore had recourse to the well known beautifier, and took arsenic several times a week. The desired effect was not long in showing itself, for in a few months she became stout, rosy-cheek ei, and all that her lover could desire. In order, however, to increase the effect, she incautiously increased the dose of arsenic, and fell a victim to her vanity. She died poisoned —a very painful death.” Tire number of such fatal cases, especial ly among voung persons, is described as by no means inconsiderable. For the second purpose, that of rendering the breathing easier when going up-hill—the pea aant put* a small fragment of arsenic in his mouth, and lets it dissolve. The effiet is aston ishing. He ascends heights with facility, which he could not otherwise do without the greatest difficulty of breathing. The quantity-of arsenic with which the eaters begin ia about half a, grain. They continue to take this quantity two or three times a week, in the morning fasting, till they become habituated to it. They then cautiously increase the dose as the quantity previously taken seems to diminish in its effect. “The peasant It says Dr. Von Tschudi, ‘‘a hale man of sixty, who enjoys capital health at- present, Dikes for every dose a I )ieee about two grains in weight. For the last orty years he has continued the habit, which lie inherited from his father, and which he will trails mit to his children.” No symptoms ofillncssor of chronic poisoning are obervable inany bf these arsenic eaters, when the dose is carefully adapted to the construction and habit of the body of the person using it. But if from any cause the arsenic lie left off for a time symptons of disease occur, which resemble those •of slight arsenical poisoning; especially a great feeling of discomfort arises, great indifference to everything around, anxiety about, his own person deranged digestion, loss of appetite, a feeling of overloading in tfier"Stomach, increased flow of saliva, burning from the stomach up to the throat, epasms in the throat, pain in the bowels, con stipation, and especially oppression in the breath ing. From these symptoms there is only one modS’ of reties—an Immediate return to arsetaic-eating.— Blackwood's Magazine.

This si,A guler bird is about the size of a raven, and is of a similar color, but its. feathers have a more scaly appearance, from being margined with a different shade of glossy blue. It is also allied to the crow in its structure, being very similar to them in its feet and bill. On its head it bears a crest, different from that of any other bird. It is • formed of feathers more than two inches long, very thickly set, and with hairv plumes curving over at the end. These can be erected and spread out on every side, forming a hemispheri cal, or rather, a hemillipsoidal dome, ’completely covering the head and even reaching beyond the point of the beak : the individual feathers then ’stand out something like the down hearing seeds of the dandelion.

And as some travelers see and make a noise about their failings, it is very well that there should be somebody who, before any thing else, becomes acquainted with their virtues. And these fail ings of theirs, ns far as I can see their national failings, may all be attributed principally to the youthful life of the people. In many cases I re cognize precisely tlie faults of my own youth— the asking of questions, w,ant of reflection', want of observation of themselves and others, a Imast ful spirit mid so on.

( The steamer San Francisco, as yon are aware, sailed from New York oti the 22d of December, with United Staters troops, bound for Unlifortaa. The day was beautiful and everything promise J a pleasant and prosperous voyage. The shif was well provided with everything which could render ns comfortable, and every luxury that could 1)0 procured was placed on hoard. All these things, together with the gentlemanly and efficient officers of the ship, and pleasant compa ny in the cabin, served to render us happy and contented. But aijus for ail human calculations! about 9 o’clock the second day out a gale sprung up. and continued to increase all night. At daylight it was perfectly frightful. During the night, I think ‘about 12, c^lrengine gave out, And soon our foremastr*V ,s dhfried away, which left Us'ait the Weroy wind ainl waves.— “The sc (the in the -eSbin. (luting ftiis tline was truly-distressing. Nearly all had turned out of the state rooms, despair depicted on tho counte nances of all. A few of us, who occupied the upper cabin, left it and went below ; and well it was for us, for soon after day—l think about 8 o’clock—a sea broke over our starboard wlicel liotisc, and \’ it!i frightful force dashed against the ‘after-cabin, carrying away all of the cabin, and about 150 people, among whom were Col. J. M. Washington, Maj. Geo. Taylor, and his wife, Capt. 11. B. Field, and LieuL Smith, two or three males and females who were unknown to me, and twocitizen passengers, Mr. Ibinkin, our sut ler—tlie other tiavn s 1 have not learned —were swept off but the return wave brought them hack. 1 had gone below but a few iiK iti- nts before tliisterrible crash, and was lying at the foot of tin-stairs at the time. I never experi itnmLsuch-a sensation as when the water-came pouring into the cabin, down upon mj head and breast. I was swept across the cabin with ter rible force, but after three at tempts, succeeded in regaining my feet. I supposed that the ship had broken in half, and that we were fast sink ing. I followed after some I saw going on deck, and on reaching it my blood tan cold at the sight of the poor fellows struggling among the fragments in the sea ; the waves were, to my eye, frightful; we could render no assistance whatever, and, in fact, expected ourselves. Jb.tt we should go down every minute. With great difficulty we clung to the deck, the sea making a perfect breach over us, and the cold so great, that an hour longer must have finished us.— Close by tne was Major Wyse, his young wife and babe. It was a truly heart-rending sight. The poor child must have been nearly frozen. About this time Mr. Melircs, the first officer of the ship, than whom no braver seaman lives, came aft with an axe; this not only surprised me, but greatly raised my hopes. I watched him closely until he approached the only remain ing.mast. lie attempted to cut it away, but the sea ran so high that lie was unable to do it.— Th’s was the first time I was aware that the ship was not full of water. Soon after this ottr gal lant Commodore Watkins, came along. T asked him what our chances were; he replied “ Good.” I theu determined to get into the cabin. The sea was running very high at the time, and the deck was strewn on either side with pieces of the wreck scattered here and there, with men and women clinging to the pieces in order to save themselves. In a few moments all was still, none of them appearing. Not a sound was heard, except the distant moan of the wind. On looking round I saw Lieut. Murray standing at the mizzenmast. I went aft to him, and held on there for a while, until the first mate came to cut it away, which he failed in doing owing to the roughness of the sea. I then went forward, where I was first, and saw- Major ‘Wyse, his wife and child, Lieuts. Chandler, Y T an Voorst, and Dr. Satterlee. We talked over our chances for escape, and all came to the conclusion that we could not survive twenty minutes. At that time two negroes came along with life preservers but one of the soldiers handed me one; but it’ was so cold that we thought it would lie only pro longing ottr misery, and thinking that the vessel would go down every minute, we did not use them. The sea was making a breach over us at every roll. About this time we discovered that there were many persons in tho lower cabin, un der us, principally ladies. Two or tlitee of us were determined to go down, and afterwards in duced Major Wyse to go down therepwith hir wife and child.

Two officers went out at a time, ami tlrey were relieved by two othors, each party bailing two hours each. We kept this up - all that night, water gaining on us, and our pumps failing to work. This bailing was kepi up four or five nights, until the pumps got to working again and the sea went down. We then gained on the water, and by great exertions of the en gineer, succeeded iu clearing tho ship of water for the time. * The captain and officers, of the ship with great exertions succeeded in stopping the worst leaks and repairing the decks with old pieces of sails and otherwise patching them up to try and save the ship. We kept relieves of three or four men at each end of, the abaft to prevent the ,watd£jicoroing in tbCTfv-where it came in by the bucket-full. About this time we were choerqd . with the prospect of netting the machinery hL working order, so that the vessel might get into | “ Prove nil t hlx- hold fn.t that whlfh Is Pact. . port. A temporary steering apparatus was erected, and an attempt was yiadc to get the ship which up to this time had been at the mercy of the waves. After one or two revolutions of the wheel it was pronounced hopeless to attempt any thing further. All that could be done, said tho engineer, was to keep the pumps working. Durirtgall this time the ladies j behaved admirably and no complaint was made by them. Two or three days after we saw two sad; one of them did not heed us, hut the other came along side of us and spoke ns. The one that spoke us first, was the Napoleon. The cap tain said lie was short of provisions and we sent j him off a quantity, and she went off’ .luting the 1 | night- During the time wo were lightening] j the ship by throwing overboard all the heavy | articles that we could get at. W’c made ottr- j , selves as comfortable as possible, and got some-: i thing to eat and began to get some drv clothes, | jas wo had been wet for nearly two weeks. The j j next sail that appeared was the British brig Ma- j | ria, and she took* some of the passengers from! i its. All this time we bad very rough weather, ! j until the hark Kilby spoke us. An officer went ’ on hoard and made a contract to take all the’ ! passengers off and take them to the nearest port, jt'aptain Watkins stayed’ behind to make one ef | fort to save the ship; he called for volunteers, | and in ten minutes he had the number required ,to stay bv him. As soon as some of the pits- j j sengers arrived on board the Kilby we sent some i! \yeiity men on board to lighten-the by! | throwing a portion of tho cargo overboard. A j j bout 2 1\ M. wo commenced transhipping the! | ladies and children in small Dials, and by night ■succeeded in getting aboard about one hundred j ; in all—men, women and children—intending to j complete the shipment next morning. About 7 i j o’clock we were alarmed by the cry of fire, and j i found the ship to be on tire near the cook’s galley, | j but we Soon put it out. Some time during the night heavy gales sprung ]up accompanied by a most awful sea, and the i vessel commenced leaking badly again, and we I went to work bailing that night and a jrart of I next day. the pumps at this time giving out a | gain. The men at this time were so exhausted I that it required great exertions to keep them j steadily at work. When the morning came the Kilhv was no longer ill sight, .and we supposed; that-she had made for the nearest port, being | short of water and provisions, and it being un-! j safe for her to remain any longer by ns, its tho ! sea was running very high. This morning things looked gloomier than ever, having nothing to oat and being cold and half naked. During that day, after getting through working the pumps, we began to get in better spirits, and make our selves as comfortable as possible. We kept the vessel clear without the aid of bailing. We then cut holes through the deck for the purpose of throwing coal and other heavy materials over board. About two days after a light was wen during the night, and wc commenced firing guns and making signals every half hour during the night. In the morning the British ship Three Bells, Captain Creighton, bore up to us; but the sea was running so high, and tlie wind blowing so Imrd, wc could only communicate with each other by means*of writing in large letters, on a board, our condition and prospects. 11c replied to us and said that they were leaking and short of provisions. As he passed us he gave three cheers, which made us believe he would stick by us and we returned them heartily. He went to windward of us, laid to and remained by us du ring the night. The next day the sea running very high, and he having only two boats, we made two rafts in order to make some effort to reach his vessel, but we found that a passage on the rafts would be impracticable. On the third night we came very near losing him. On the fourth day anotlic* sail appeared in sight to windward, and both bore down to us, which proved to be the Antarctic, bound for Liverpool. Both vessels lav by us during tho night, it being too rough to attempt any passage with the boats. Oil the fifth day the rough weather subsided, and we succeeded in transporting all the passengers, all tlie crew and ship's officers, ex-J ccpt twenty-five or thirty men, including ship’s officers and firemen. During that day we suc ceeded in putting on board tho Three Bells some provisions and water. I kept the men at the pumps during the day and night. The next morning wo got off the remainder of tlip officers and crew, including Capt. Watkins, and made sale for this port. The Antarctic sailed for Liverpool. Previous to falling in with the Three Bells, a sort of congestive diarrhoea broke out among the men, from eatiug potted meat and pickled cabbage. It carried off about one hundred of the passengers, who were taken sick aud in a few hours died. * An iucident occurred at this time. Corporal Smith came to me and said hia child waa aide, and in about an hour after that, he seat word to tne aud said he was very rick himself, aud would like to see me. 1 went to him and found that be was about wife came in liiglit shesSi foadgfcl in bedAMjj^fehgjgl ot On°cw|pj j t.) ibis port in the Three Bells wa lostabjSE thirty passengers, w ho died of the effect* of djßg pickled rn- ats and cabling)*.

WINDER, First Liouton.-iit Third Artillery. Texas. Governor Pease, lately installed Governor of Texas, has just sent his first message to tho Leg islattire of that State. It renews, in general terms, t he reeotnnionduTlons of the late Governor, in his annual ir.eMn.gr at the beginning of the session, and adds some specific recommendations in regard to measure* of State policy. Among tln-so, is the recommendation that two millions of the United States Kinds, now in tho ’ treasury, be sot apart as n permanent school; fund, to which he would add the accumulation in the treasury of the one tenth of the annual tax- ! ation,already appropriated, and one tenth of the ( annual taxation hereafter. He also proposes an ‘ amendment of tlrfe Constitution, so as to permit, the sale of theseboot lands, wliiwh now can only ‘ be leased, and tlie proceeds to be added to the | principal of tho school fund. He nl*o recotn-! mends an appropriation of *250,000 for the es-! tahlishment of a State University, and 1250.000 I each for an insane asylum, and an asylum for the education of the deaf and dumb. These sums j would appropriate nearly the whole of tlie Uni-1 ted States bonds now in the State treasury. The subjects treat's! of more at length arc in ternal improvements, and State aid to railroads, i He approves, in general terms, of the Paeific rail-’ road bill, which lias just passed the Legislature,! objecting only to that provision,which allows the j issuing of patents for the lands donated be-! fore tho whole Toad is completed. The policy i of appropriating lands innidnf railroads he coin mends forcibly, as peculiar)* fitted fortho circttm- j stances of Texas, where land is abundant, arid ( where railroads, though their prospective value ! may be very great, cannot he expected to pay large dividends as stock for some lime to come,! and therefore this premium is needed to induce the investing of private capital from abroad. lie is in favor also (if loaning the amount of the internal improvement and other funds, as the United States bonds may be paid off, when due, to railroad companies, as they proceed in the,con struction of these works, at ten per cent, interest, for a term of twenty years; the amount never to ! exceeed one third of the actual cost of the work, and to be secured by a lien on the property of the Company. In regard to the Indians within the State, the Governor recommends the setting apart of a por tion w the vacant domain remote from the settled part of the State for the temporary occupation of the tribes, with a qualified cession of Jurisdic tion to the United States Government to enable it to control and regulate intercourse with them. On the subject of tho public debt he is for very decided measurers to compel the creditors to cotno in and accept the State’s scaling system, or to have their claims barred forever. This pro ject has already been introduced hito tbc Legis lature, and will probably pass. — New Orleans Picayune. —” ■■■!■ I -I “TrtK Citizen.”—John Mitchell’s new paper ap pears this morning—a -handsome, well filled weekly of sixteen large pages.
