Training for Prize Fifth*.' A Cincinnati journal gives the fol lowing account of the manner in which a man is trained for a prize fight : MeCoole is now in training for his fighi with Allen. He sleeps on a good mattress, with plenty of warm cover ing, rises promptly at five o’clock in the morning, rain or shine, and imme diately proceeds to a shed in the rear of the lot, about ten by twelve, where he exercises with the dumb bell, a sus pended sandbag weighing about four hundred pounds,cannon balls, and two heavy bags attached .to cords running over a puily. This exercise is con tinued for about half an hour, and is done to develop the muscle of the arm, the flesh on which now feels like buck skin stretched over marble. After this he wraps himself up as warm as pos sible and- mu files up Ids face so as to be hardly discernable, for ihe purpose of producing profuse perspiration, and starts out fur Ids four mile \Y*alk:—two in and two out. Returning he under goes a salt-water bath and a pretty se vere scrubbing process; sufficiently rough, indeed, to take the skin off al most any other man but him. After the bath he dresses warmly again aud rests awhile, ar.d then breakfasts mod erately on beef or mutton, with trim mings—the meat, of course, always rare. His diet is substantial, and va ries but little from that of a laboring man, although, probably he does not eat as much. After breakfast comes a rest of an hour or so, until 1 o’clock, when he dons his walking shoes, each weighing about five pounds, and, ac companied by one or both of his train ers, and well muffled up, he starts out on a walk of from thirteen to sixteen miles, and as a walkist he is a decided success. A day or so ago, when the Natural Bridge road, and indeed all roads about the suburbs of the oily, | were in a muddy slippery condition, ; he walked fourteen miles in one hour and fifty minutes, loaded down as he was with the heaviest clothing, and said he felt so little fatigued that he could have repeated it in the same lime. His powers of endurance are astonishing. On lls return from the walk he enjoys a f^iort rest, then eats supper, and a shoft time after supper comes another walk of two or three miles. He never ventures out after the dampness ot evening sets in, and is in bed promptly at 8 o’clock. These are his everyday exercises rain or shine. How a Chinese Emperor dels Mar ried.—The Emperor of China is 1-5 years old, and is to be married this year with immense pomp to his first and chief wife—the Empress. He will bo simultaneously provided with second and ihird wives; and from all parts of the Empire, victims are being collected to swell the list of his liaretn. Evrry Tartan family, we believe, is obliged to contribute its quota. Local seclectious are first made, and the ho locaust is sent to Pekin where a fresh selection takes place, and a “chosen” number are condemned to a life long seclusion. They are not allowed to see their ielutions ; many never see their lord and master, and in the event of his death, they are still condemned to perpetual isolation and celibacy. A fantion !o Smokers. A writer in the British Medical Re view says : Dr. Decaisne, in the course ofinvesti- gaiion on the influences of tobacco, on circulation, has been stiuck with the large number of boys, agpd from nine to fifteen years, who smoke ; and has been led to inquire into the connec tion of this habit with the impairment of the general health. He has observ ed, thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to fifteen, who smoked more or less.— Of these, distinct symptoms were pres ent in twenty-seven. In twenty-two, there were various disorders of circu lation—bruit desouffle in the neck.pal- patation. disorder of digestion, slow ness of intellect, and a more or less marked taste for strong drinks.

Two Men Decapitated and Restored to •Life—The Wrong Heads Stitched on the Trunks, hut no Matter— The Dead- Live Men Walk, Feeling a Little Stiff- The Stvnningest Story of the Period.

The Ital ian paper, tor reasons easily to be gath ered, does not give implicit credence How to Keep Rats from Destroying Harness.—Almost every person who uses a harness has been more or less annoyed by having them injured by rats. We give a few hints as to how this may be avoided, though everbody knows, or ait’eciing to know what is best. The receipts here given aie col lected from different sources : Take about a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, mix it thoroughly with a quart oi oil and rub the harness with ihe mixture.— This it.is claimed, will not only keep rats and mice from gnawing the har- trom to this statement, nor lend it. the etliio- j ness, but it will rial sanction : jand colts On the 18th of April, ISOS, in the j halters, prison of Villa Rica, (province ot Minas Geraes) in Brazil, two mer. najned A- veiro anti Carines were executed at the same time. In Brazil executions take place with closed doors, in ihe in terior of the prison. Dt. Lorenzo y Cartno, of Rio Janeiro, well known by savants for his remarkable works on electricity applied to physiology, his surgical skill, and his success in auto plastic operations, obtained permission to profit by this event, in order to ex periment on the power ol electricity, and illustrate its analogy with some of the phenomena of life. The numerous experiments hitherto attempted have been made on the head ami trunk separately. Dr. Lorenzo y CarmoV design was, jf possible, to unite the head to the neck after de capitation. The heads of the two crim inals fell within a few minutes of each other into the same basket; first that also prevent horses chewing the lines or A little benzine rubbed over the har ness after it has been oiled is said to be a sure preventive, but is not recom mended by many, on account of the idea that it injures the leather. .One ounce ot aloes to one gallon of oil will prevent rats from destroying ihe har ness. It is also claimed that by mixing a small quantity, say a tablespoontul, ol pine tar to one quart of oil, harnesses will be most effectually protected from any injury ; but if too much is put on the leather will not absorb it. It will collect dirt deside making the harness unpleasant to handle. — Carriage and Harness Journal.

His aston ishment Yvas great when he saw that at the end of tsvo hours not only did respiration still continue under-the in fluence of the electric current, but that circulation had even resumed a certain regularity. The pulse beat feebly, but sensibly. The experiment was contin ued without intermission. At the end T here is a fungus, just like a rump- steak in flavor, which abounds on oak trees; there is the puff-ball, flavored like s weet-bread, and the hydna, which reminds one of oysters ; and the ast- aricus delieiosue, lasting like lamb kid neys.
