One of the New South Wales politicians Mr. David Buchauan to wit, has broken out iuto prose poetry. In his address to the electors of the Western, gold-fields, this gentleman says : — " A foul wind wrecked the little barque in which I breasted the billows of East Sydney, but, ' thank God, all hands ara saved, and, now that I am idle, should, the diggers of the West entrust me with a command, I promise them that I will steer their ship to the van, and pour every scrap of iron in her on the enemies of the people." ; A Remedy agatnst Flies. — A little very simple knowledge would go a great , way in warm weather. Here are a party of amateur sportsmen coming home in i disgust on account of mosquitoes, and there are thousands of stay-at-homes who s find life almost unendurable on any terms s for flies. If either party knew it, i carbolic acid is the sovereign remedy for • all their trouble*. -A few drops evaporated in a room or poured upon the clothes will i keep the winged pest at a safe distance ; : and if the pure crystalisei acid is used s no great annoyance will result to human beings. Restaurant keepers ought to know i this, and keep the swarms of flies away ; from their windows, where they settle and i buzz to the' torment of passers-by as als<> » to themselves. (
