I had previously bathed in other seas, lakes and rivers, but never did J enjoy such a hath as this, The specific gravity of the waller is such from its holding in solution so large a propor tion of salt (251 per cent.) that "lie floats upon its "surface like u cork. At the time there was only a gentle ripple upon the sea, and being a, good swimmer t at once struck out into deep waiter.

At first ho was reluctant to follow me, but ho soon gained confidence on finding there was no danger of sinking, and he enjoyed the novel bath us much as if he had been an expert, swimmer. Should the Itather allow the water to get into hiseyes or mouth he would suffer con siderable abatement in his enjoyment on account of its extremely salt, bit ter, irritating nature.

The legislation of the coun try should, if it favored ono class more than another, favor the floriculturists first.. The mechanics, who are pro ducers from the raw mrterial, should next have the Government’s fostering care. The usurers should lie the last to receive especial favors and protec tion at the hundsot the Government. Itis the non-producing element. And yet it receives all the favors, and en joys a monopole which, the Govern ment crushes the other classes to maintain for It. Nashville Banner. -—. ♦ Col.

The rain con tinued, throughput Saturday night and!up (o nooiito-day. Tim imhvury fell to (id degrees. The four principal railroads running east from this city were either flooded in places or dam aged jto that Uaips can got mu, and most of ( lie railroads In tlie State are in a similar condition. Up to lust night tlie river had risen three feet since Saturday night, and was still rising at, (he rate of two inches por hour. Accounts from tlio upper Missisaip pi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers say that all those rivers are rising rapid ly, and the tributaries within 200 miles of here are all greatly swollen, many of them pouring out in floods. Dlspatcht-s from various parts of tills State say that immense damage has been dene to crops and farm pros pects generally. In Spring river bot tom alone the damages suffered by the funnels is estimated at $1,500,000. Tlie Osage, Lawrence, and Black water rivers are higher than ever be fore, and, in fact, all streams in the State are at flood height, and are causing great destruction of proper ty. The railroads are also suffering seriously from wash-outs, tlie loss of bridges and overflows. The trains are badly delayed or stoppied entirely. Tlie turnpike roads are also being washed away in places, bridges de stroyed, and travel of all kinds im peded. Probably there was never so widely extended damage by rains in the State. , , ~ Fliltslliri-N IN OHIO. LOSS OF PROPERTY.

A Herald cable from London says tlie O’Con nell demonstration is assuming un expected political nml diplomaticsig> nifleances embarrassing to the liber als, home rulers and the government. Tlio Lord Mayor of Dublin, supposed to bo at the instigation of the wiloy Cardinal Cullen a poor churchman, earing nothing for the memory of O’Connell, has given tlie affair an Ultramontane character, offensive alike to Irish and English liberals, the Protestant noblemen, the home rulers and the Fenians. The invita tions wepe mainly extended to Catho lic laymen and bishops of England, France and Oerbiahy, which lias drawn an indignant protest from an Irish peer, who claims that the Lord Mayor is unauthorized to use Ids office fora purely Catholic purpose. The homo rulers and Fenians will probably have independent celebra tions in honor of their liberator. They cannot co-operate in an Ultramon tane movement without endangering the Liberal alliance and alienating the Protestants, who sympathise with home rulo principles. Blr Henry James, Sir Win. Uarcourt, and other advanced Liberals, Sorrowfully op pose the demonstration. Although admirers of O’Connell’s career, they do not want identification with an anti-Bismarck demonstration, be cause if the Lord Mayor expressed sympathy with the bishops it will give Bismarck a chance tq complain that Englishmen are open sympa thizers with a government hostile to German unity. • ♦. I.(hmloii Times on Andrew Johnson. London, August 2. The Times, in its obituary article on Andrew John son, says ids career illustrates the slender and weak points of American social aud political systems. During his term of office ho showed himself wanting in tact, refinement, und knowledge of men; yet he hod some qualities which are not so abundant in the American peojilo as to be de spised when found.

APPLETONS’ American Cyclopaedia. New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on overy subject. Printed from new typo, and illus trated with Several Thousand Engravings aud Maps. The work originally published under the title of The New American Cyclop&dia was com pleted in 1803, since which time the wido circula tion which it bus attained in all parts of tho United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every brauch of science, lit erature and art, have Induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, aud to issue anew edition entitled The American Cyclopedia. Within tho last ton years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made a now work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace witn the discoveries of science, and their lruitfu application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience und refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions havo oc curred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the lust volume ui the old work appeared, has happily been ended, und anew course of commercial und industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical kuowl edge have been made by tho indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last de cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whoso names are in evory one’s mouth, and of whose lives every ono is curious to kuow tho particulars. Great buttles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the de tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in tho transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in perma nent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it bus accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possi ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the moat recent discoveries in science, of overy fresh production in literature, aud of tho newest inventions in the practical urts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun after long and care ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. None of tho original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in tact anew C'yclopiedia, with the same plan and compass us its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. The Illustrations which aro introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to tho explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural liiHtory, and depict tho most famous and remarkable features of scenery, architecture and art. as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embelishment, no pains have been spared to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of tho Cycloptedia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, aud with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.

NO. 170 MALARIA! Read, Reflect and Act. If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the cow’s udder aud kept dry for years, then mois tened, ami the keenest point of a Lancet dipped iu it aud drawn gently on the arm, so as not to draw tho blood, will so impregnate and change the entire system as to prevent the party so vac ciuated from taking the most loathaome of dis casoa (small pox) fbr an entire life; again, if the Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at mosphore the poison malaria, why will not tho proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thua enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with impunity? We claim that there is such a remedy, and that we have prepared it, and applied it, aud proved it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—and that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit the worst malarial districts without the fear of having any diseases arising from malaria; such as Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever, Yellow Fover, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem orrhoids, aud that it will cure all the above dis eases, except tho worst cases of Billious and Yel low Fever. This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt, as it corrects tho humors of the oody and produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys tem, and thus enabling it to per.orm its various duties without fearing the effects of malaria in the least. It has been tried iu thousands of cases without a failure. They can bo obtained lrom tho proprietors in any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of Broad aud Peachtree streets. Atlauta, Ga. Price for a siugle Belt $3, or $6 with a guaran tee that it will cure or the money refunded. N. B.—None genuine without tho trade mark is stamped upon them. Drs.

Love k Willson: Gentlemen—ln April last I was taken sick with regular Fever and Ague, having it every alternate day. Alter it had run on me for two weeks, I waa induced to try one of your Anti-malarial belts; so 1 discarded all medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc cessive timo thereafter for some three or four times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever have a Chill or Ague,l would want one of your Pads, and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be ho unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts, 1 am, respectfully, etc., W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga., June 3, 1875. Dun. Love & Willson: On the first day of December last I was taken with (Chills aud Fever in Thomasville, Southwes tern Ga.. and was treated for the same by three eminent physicians who were able to stop it only for a few days at a time. It made such inroads on my constitution that my physician pronoun ced me to be in tlie first stages of consumption, wh on I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will sou's Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured me. 1 have had but one chill since, and that was the first day after putting it on. lam now in as good health as I ever was in my lile, aud think this Belt a God-send to the afflicted. J. M. Mathews. Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1875. Rome nine years ago I contracted malaria iu Ravaunah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at times, ever siuco, until I met up with Drs. Love 4c Willson's Anti-malarial Belt some three months ago. 1 have worn it continually, and have had no chill since, and find my general health, which lias been poor, much improved. I would recom mcml it to others suffering with malaria. R. A. Wallace. Macon, Ga., June 4, 1875. Friend Hodgson: 1 received your letter of tho 26th nit., on yesterday, I have been off on a fish ing excursion aud just returned. The people of this town don’t chill worth a cent yet. I havo sold two of tho pads, aud that I did the very hour I first received them, one to one of our conductors, and to Mr. Vaughn, a Clork in the office.
