Mike has made several important discov eries in his recent raid through the South west. He says he has just fouud out what a “ private hotel ” is. He has found sev eral of them in his travels, and they are truly very peculiar institutions. lie say 9 their bells aud gongs make as much clatter as if there was really some thing on the table to call the public to, but when ono gets there, he sees nothing but empty plates. Presently the waiters will be seen dispensing different articles of provender—pretty generally to the milita ry gentlemen with stars and bars oa their collars, and when you ask them to give you “ some o’ that, what that feller’s got,” the waiter will look at you just ae a faro deal er does when ho “rakes down your pile,” looks as if he had “ chewed ” you, and. in nocently says: “ That’s private, sir ! ” v Then you look around to see what else might suit your taste, and you see another chap with eggs. You think, “ eggs are common enough, dear knows ” “ Well, give me some eggs, then. ” “ Dein’s private, too, sir. I)e gemman fetch ’em here, and we cook 'em for him.” “ Give me some potatoes, then; I sup pose they're not private,” . I said, loud enough to attract all the eyes around the table. “ Yes, massa, deal's private, too —but I kin gib you some corn breads —an ,an here’s some salt, and here’s some corn bread.” “ Give mo some of that butter, you black rascal,” I said aggravated, as indeed it should make any body foci who was pay ing oi a .dAT.ifon-Yfififoman I Sparks’, Macon, or to Lieut.

Y\ ILL be at the following named places i at the times below mentioned for the B( J irpose of collecting’.lie State aud County [j; jhe > , (ij; ft “ I’s a private servant, massa! 1 ’ ‘ *“• 1 j ,* , This capped the climax, - and I deter j mined to finish my meal of corn dodger j and salt, and take the next train lor a [ change Grapo Canister. and Shell. j Grape consists of nine shot arranged in ] three layers, which vary in size according •to the calibre of the gun; they are held together bv two plates of about one-four teenth of an inch lees diam ter than the calibre of the gun, two rings, a bolt and a nut. The canvas bag arrangement is too j chi for this war ;it ia not so simple ’or j durable, and has not been used for years. j Canister ibr a gun contains twenty-seven j email cast-iron balls arranged in four lay- i ors, the top oi six. the remainder of seven ■ each; for a howitzer it contains forty-eight j small iron balls, in four layers of twelve 1 .each; for the same calibre you will see ! that the balls for canister is a tin cylinder, Closed at the bottom by a thick cast-iron pi\te or a wooden sabot, and at the top by ; a sbeet-iron plate, with a handle attached ; the interstices between the bails are closely packed with saw-dust, to prevent crowding when the piece is fired. Shrapnel consists of a very ibin shell, which is filled with musket balls \ the interstices are then fill ed by pouring melted sulphur; a hole ia theu bored through the mass of sul phur and bullets i’o receive the -bursting charge. Now to explain the difference be tween a “shrapnel” >N “spherical case” aud a “ shell.” The doetructive force of a shrapnel is what it receives from the charge in the gun, the powdeV in the shrap- j nel being only to break the envelope aud j spread the balls, they still moving forward by force of the impulse.they received from ! the charge in the gun. ■ A shell is made j very much thicker than the envelope <»f a shrapnel, and is nearly filled with powury, and will do great execution if it explodes on the ground, it having destructive qual- i ities iu itself, aside from the discharge of the gun. A shrapnel shell has only half of the charge of powder that a shell prop er has; thus a twenty-four pounder shrap nel contains one hundred aud seventy-five musket balls and six ounces of powder. A twenty-four pounder shell has twelve ounces of powder. “ Alabama ” is said to signify, in the Indian language, “ Here we. rest.” A sto ry is told of a tribe of Indians who fled from a relentless foe into the thickest for est in the South-west. Weary and travel worn they reached a noble river which flowed through a beautiful country. The j chief of the band stuck his tent pole iu the ground and exclaimed, “ Alabama, Al- \ abama, here we shall rest, here we shall l reel ! ” 1 . Diptheria. A physician of distinguished ahility gives us the following facts concerning this much dreaded disease: Ist. In its nature, it is not a local affec tion, as is usually supposed, but constitu tional, pervading the blood of the whole system before it makes its appearance m any part. It is of a nature kindred to ery sipelas, and though epidemical, is notatriet ly speaking infectious. 2d. Its most manifest symptom is a false meuibranee, of a white color which forma upon and around the tonsils, near the pal ate, and which thickens and extends, unless checked, until the patient dies from suffo cation. This false membrane is, however, not confined to the throat, but may aorm timc%.be seen upon the hand or arm, or in any offter place where the akin has been removed. 3d. Among the cautions to be observed are the following: Avoid all medicines and niodos ot treatment which shall exhaust the strength, and bo careful notSo injure the skin by blisters or counterirritants, par ticularly in the neighborhood of the throat 4th. To effect its cure, &iui to restore as rapidly and effectively us possible, the pa tient’s waning strength. For this purpose, let the cKot be of the most nutrious char , aoter, chicken soup, beef tea, etc. Give freely of egg-nog, made of good whisky, or use the stimulant in any other way that will combine nourishment with stimulation Add to the general strength by the use of mineral tonics, of which none is better than muriate of iron, which may be ad mistered as largely as ten drops every two or throe boms, for an adult. Between the doses of iron give from live to fifteen grains of chlorate (not ehlorid) of polish', or of so da. The chloride of may be used an an antiseptic gargle, but best gargle ia com mon salt. If the disease gives signs of periodicity, by regular remissions aud accessions, then bring to your aid the grea,t anti periodio quinine.
