CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.
MISCELLANY.
Nelson. —Human nature is very Trail. No
man ever had a of it under the
influence of a sense of justice than Lord Nel
son. He was lothe to inflict punishment; and
when he was obliged, as he called it. “to endure
the torture of seeing men flogged,” he came
out of his cabin with a hurried step, ran into
the gang-way. made his bow to the General,
and. reading the articles of war the culprit had
infringed, said, “Boatswain, do your duty.”—
The lash was instantly applied, and, conse
quently, the sufferer exclaimed, “Forgive me,
Admiral, forgiteme!” On such an occasion
Lord Nelson would look around with wild anx
iety, and, as all his officers kept silence, he
would say, “what! none of you speak for him !
avast! cast him offand then add to the suf
fering culprit, “Jack! in the hour ofbatdc, re
member me !” and he became a good fellow in
future. A poor man was about to be flogged —a
landsman —and a few pitied him. His offence
was drunkenness. He was being tied up ; a
lovely girl, contrary to all rules, rushed through
the officers, and, falling on her knees, clasped
Nelson’s hand, in which were the articles of
war, exclaming, “Pray, forgive him, your hon
or, and he shall never offend again.” “ Your
face,” said the Admiral, “is a security for his
good behaviour. Let him go ; the fellow can
not be bad who has such a lovely creature in
his care.” This man rose to be a lieutenant.
The Great Borman Bell. —Next to the
great bell of Moscow, which weighs 444,000
lbs., is the bell of Mengoon, mentioned by Mai
com, who describes the Burmes as very famous
for casting bells. Their bells are, however,
disproportionally thick, but of delightful tone.
The raised inscription and figures are as beau
tiful as any bells in the world. They do not
flare open at the mouth like a trumpet, but are
precisely the shape of old globular wine glass
es, or semi-spheroidical. There are several in
the empire, of enormous size. That at Men
goon near Ava, weighs more than 444,000 lbs.
it is suspended a few inches from the ground,
and like other great bells, is without a tongue.
Human Skin nailed to Church Doors. —Mr.
Albert Way communicated the result of a cor
respondence relating to the tradition handed
down in several instances, thatthedoors of cer
tain churches had been covered with human
st in as a punishment of sacrilege. Sir Harry
Inglefield had first called* the attention of the
Society of Antiquaries to the existence of such
a tradition regarding the churches of iladstock
and Copford, in Essex, and the Hon. Richard
Neville, in his“ Antiqui Explorata,” had again
stated the record preserved by popular belief
in those parishes. It appeared that a similiar
tale was known at Worcester, in relation to
the great north doors of the cathedral—sup
posed to have been covered with the skin of a
person who had robbed the high altar. These
doors had been renewed of late years, and the
old wood work deposited in the crypt, but by
assistance of Mr. Jabez Ailiess, a portion of
the supposed human skin had been obtained,
clamps,—me SRfn 'tracing‘fevidemiy uefrn laid
upon the doors when first made. It proved,
on examination by a powerful microscope, to
be in fact human. Mr. Way stated, that
having obtained portions of the skin from the
church doors at Iladstock and Copford, these
had proved also, on scientific examination, to
be human skin.— Minutes of the Archaeological
Institute.
Great Fall of Aerolites. —A fall of fcrolites
occurred in the neighborhood of Seokerstown,
Pa., on the tUhinst. In one instance, a large
stone, some six feet in diameter, and resembling
a mass of sulphur, in its descent, went through
a large tree, crushing it to atoms, and entered
! to the depth of about twelve feet, from whence
I it was afterwards recovered by those who wit
j nessed its fall. The traces of several bodies
i of the same nature have been discovered in
that vicinity, within a short time, and are crea
ting considerably alarm. lam informed that
the Hon. Judge Reid, of our place, has obtain
ed permission from Joseph Drile, Esq,, the
proprietor of the farm where the stories fell,
j to remove the large one to his residence in
; York, where it will be exhibited for a while,
1 after which he contemplates taking it to Balti
| more for the purpose of placing it in the Muse
um. It is really a curiosity.— Cor. Baltimore

How to make Nice Candles.
The following directions taken from various
works, may serve as an answer to the inquiry
of Mary in our last, and prove of advantage to
others :
Saving Tallow. —Save all the beef and mut
ton tallow. Try it out from time to time and
make it into little cakes for preservation.
Candlewick, if steeped in lime and saltpetre,
and dried in the sun, will give a clearer light
and be Jess apt to run.
Good candles maybe made thus: Melt to
gether ten ounces of mutton tallow, a quarter
of an ounce of camphor, four ounces of bees
wax, and two ounces of alum ; and then run it
into moulds or dip the candles. These candles
furnish a beautiful light.
Another Method. —Take 2 lbs. of alum for
every 10 lbs. of tallow, dissolve it in water be
fore the tallow is put in, and then melt the tal
low in the alum water, with frequent stirring,
and it will clarify and harden the tallow so as to
make a most beautiful article for either winter
or summer use, almost as good as sperm.
Caution to Farmers.— ln Bucks county,
last week, a farmer lost his stock often fine
head of cows. They had broken into his corn
field and eaten heartily of the growing corn,
when their trespass was discovered by some
of the family and they were driven into an ad
joining field in which there was an abundance
of water. The cattle being feverish from the
large amount of corn they had eaten, immedi
ately drank freely of the water, and in a short
time the whole of them were dead. Cattle
are often killed eating green corn fodder, f ar
mers should exercise a great deal of care in tins
particular.
