That this Catholicon is in every way vvor- | tl.y of the confidence of the afflicted as a suc cessful, safe, and cheap remedy, is vouched for by the fact of its having received the apprsbat tion and, liberal patronage of many pmninen- members of the MED-GAL FACULTY in the United States; and also by the volunta ry testimonials given in the pamphlets, from Ladies and Physicians of the highest respect ability, as certified by the most satisfactory authority. This preparation Is not a “cure all,” but is intended expressly for the above-named com plaints, so very distressing in their nature and consequences, and which have heretofore re* sisted the skill and exertions of the most ac complished Physicians of all countries, toa degree beyond that of perhaps any other ma lady to which the Human family is heir.

He feels esnfident that his prices will be found low enough to induce those who desire to purchase anything in his line to give him a call. He chal lenges any other establishment in the State, in point of cheapness and durability; and he Will warrant his work to stand equal to, if not better, than the best northern work.

Any who may doubt this assertion are invited to test its truth by a trial of the markets. He is determined to- sell a eheapt as any one else in the State.

MISCELLANEO US, A Clean Back Out la a flourishing village, Wot more than three hundred miles from Mobile, Alabama; live two individuals, whom we shall call Jim and Joe. The latter is a quiet, good natured, inoffensive sort of a chap—one of those who will stand “running upon” as long, if not longer, than the most of men, but who is a perfect “Bengal Tiger” when his passions are once aroused. On the other hand, Jim was a blustering bullying braggadocia—one of that particular class of men whose voice is always loudest in a brawl, hut whose feet have a wonder ful nack of carrying them out of the way of hard knocks. For a? great length of time the latter had made-a butt of Joe—and time and again, by dint of much blustering and swaggering, completely cowed him.— An opportunity finally occurred, however, of showing the two men up in their proper colors. In the course of warm dispute, Jim let out some offensive remark which produced a more than ordinary caustic rejoinder from Joe. The former tried the “bluffing” sys tem at once ; but Joe, as he himself remark ed, had “stood enough,” and would “put up” with no more insults from his bullying neighbor. “Perhaps yon want to fight,” said Jim, buttoning his coat, and looking pistols and bowie knives at the calm but determined face ofbis opponent. “Fight I will,” rejoined Joe. “Yon have been in the habit of crowing over me for a year past, and I intend putting a stop to it at once.” Jim could not for a moment believe that his neighbor had the least disposition to carry out his threats, and accordingly went at him louder than before. “Well,” said he, “I’ve been trying to get a fight out of you for the last six months,” and, slapping his hands together, and commencing to square off, he concluded with, “At last there is a small chance ©f making something out of you.” “Walk with me out of the corporation limits, where we can avoid the law, and you j shall be gratified. I’m not in the habit of bragging, Jim, but it is my candid opinion that in about ten minutes you’ll be so badly licked your own mother won’t know yom Come along.” There was an air of determination about Joe that rather staggered his adversary, but he still thought be could frighten him out of a tight, and with that intention started off down the street that led out of the village. “Whoo!” said Jim, “I feel so much like fighting, I can hardly hold myself.” “Glad to hear it,” coolly rejoined Joe. They had now nearly reached the corpor ation limits, and Jim’s courage like that of Bob Acres, was oozing out at every pore. He had tried to frighten Joe out of the no tion of fighting, but finding himself disap pointed, he now tried to creep out of the scrape on another tack. They were passing the last grocery in the village, and an open lot which had been chosen by Joe as the field of combat, was in plain sight. “j oe _ a -hem—Joe,” said Jim, nervously, “can’t we compromise—a-hem—can’t we settle this thing somehow Joe ?’•! “No.” “Well—a-hem—a fair show—that’s all I want, Joe—a fair fight.” “Never you fear—you shall have a fair show.” They were now upon the ground. Joe commenced taking off his coat with a pro voking coolness and self-possession. “A-hem—Joe can’t we come to some un derstanding—can’t we, as I said before, com promise this little matter without—a-hem —a fight, eh ?” ‘‘I am here to fight.” rejoined Joe, throw ing down his coat* and commencing rolling up his shirt sleeves. “You will—a-hei»—you will fight; Joe l” ‘T will, Jim.” “Well here's a dean tack out! I shan’t fight, its all nonsense.” It .is almost unnecessary to say that, from that time out, Jim has been one of the qui etest and most peaceable citizens in li-is neighboi hood, and the severe lesson Joe gave him will not soon be forgotten. What a pity that every “Jim” lias not Lis Joe!” [from the federal union,] Aggregate Vote. W & are indebted to Col. Arthur Hood of the Ex. l)ep’t. r for the following aggre gate vote for the Ejectors.

Fratsklin and the B»rbcr. f On Dr. Franklin’s arrival at Paris as Plen- | ipotentiary fropThe United Slates, daring the Revolution, the King expressed a wish to see him immediately. As there Was ito going lathe Court of France in those day 8 * without permission of the' wigmaker, a wig- maker of course was sent for.- Ift « few minutes a richly dressed Mon sieur, with his arms folded in a prodigious muff" of furs, and a lobg sword by his side, made Lis appearance. It was the King’s wigmaker, with a servant in livery, a long sword by his side loo, and a load of sweet- scented band boxes, full of “de wig,” as he said, “de superb wig for de great Dr. Frank lin?’ One of the wigs was tried on, a' world too 1 small 1 Band box after band box was tried, but with small success. The wigmaker fell into a most violent rage, to- the extreme mortification of Dr.- Franklin, that a gentle man so bedecked with silks and perfume; should, notwith standing, be such a child. Presently, however, as in the transports of a great discoverer, the wigmaker cried out that be knew where the fault fay—not in his wig ais too small! “O no,” said lie, “my wig no too small, but the doctor’s head too- big—great deal too- big, by gar 1” Franklin, smiling, replied, that the fatrft could hardly lie there; for that his head was made by God- Almighty himself; who was- not subject to err, Upon this the wigmaker took- iff a little ;> but still he contended that there must be something the matter with Dr. Franklin’s head. It was at any rate, out of fashion.— He begged Dr. F. would pfeRse for remem^ her, dat his head had not de honcer to be made 1 in- Paree. No, by g/tr 1 for if it had been made iu Paree, it no* bi» more dan- half such a head. None of the French No bles, he swore, had a head anything like his. For de great Disk ©‘’Orleans, nor the grand mcmareh himself, had such ahead as Doctor Frankli#, And he did not see, he said, what business any body had wida head more big dan de head- of the grand- mon arque. Pleased to see the poor wigmaker recover his good humor,©r. Franklin could 1 not find it in his heart to put a check to his ebildish rant, but related one of his fine anecdotes, which struck the wigmaker with such an idea of his wit; that as lie retired, which he did bowing most profoundly, lie shrugged kia shoulders, and; with a most significant arch look, said ; “Ah, Doctor Franklin ! Doctor Franklin I I no wonder your head too big for my wig. By gar, I fraid your &ead too big for all de French nation.” The following anecdote, illustrative of railroad facility,|is very pointed: A travel er inquired of a negro the distance to a cer tain point. “Dat ’pends on circumstance,” replied the darkey. “1/ you gwine a foot it’ll take you about a day; if you guine in de stage or de homneybus, you make it in half a day; but you git in one of dese smoky wago®, you be almos’ dar now. A Giant Girl is now exhibiting in Charleston, who is represented^ be “only 18 yearn old, weighing 512 pounds, meas uring 2 feet 4 inches around the arm, 5 feet around the waist, and remarkably well pro portioned.” The exhibition of such a spe cimen of mortality in fulI Bloomer Costume, California.—This, State contains four hundred thousand square miles. This would in which she is advertised to appear, mus friva fiicrht States aa laro-a ns New Ynrlr Ka on a.. , give eight States as large as New York State, fifty as large as New Jersey, and fifty seven as large a Massachusetts. With a population equal per square mile to that of New Jersey,,California would support eigh teen millions ofinhabitants ; if equal to New York, twenty millions; and if equal to Mas- sachusets, forty millions—or fifteen millions more than the present population^ of the en tire United States. Additional by the Black Warrior.—Ad vices received at New York by the Steam ship Black Warrior from Havana, state that the Captain General was moving his array consisting of twenty thousand men, and or ganizing them for active service. It is a bad action that success cann 0 ^ be an interesting Chronicle. spectacle. — Auyuetee Curious Suit.—A few days since, in St. Louis, Missouri, a game chicken escaped from his owner, ran into a drug store, flew against a bottle, upset it, aDd thus set evap orating eight ounees of otto of roses. The druggist has sued the owner of the rooster, laying damages at $65, the value of the perfume wasted. A man, praising porter, said that it was so excellent a beverage, that taken iu great quantities it always makes him fat. “I have seen the time,” said another, “when it made yon-Tean.” “When, I should like to know?” asked the eulogist. “Why, no longer ago than last night—agaiust a wall.” A Close .Race. It would be well if all passengers could keep themselves as firmly aloof from ex citement in a-steamboat race, as a venera ble Friend of Rhode Island did, on the oc casion of a race between two- contending steamers, on one occasion, ra Long Island Sound. The boats had been ranmng with no visible advantage on either side for a great distance,- and groups of excited per sons were on the deck, discussing their sev eral ekances of triumph, and finally appeal ed to the “Friend” in question: “Don’t you think we’ve gained ©n her in coming the last forty miles?” “Yes,” replied the Quaker, with imper turbable gravity, “I should-say, from- pres ent appearances, that we had!" “Do you? Well, Mr. Brown, how much should you think Ave have gained-upon her? 4t “I may be mistaken,” replied our “Friend,” “for I have small gifts at correct ly calculating differences of distance; but I should think that in the last fifty miles we had gained upon her about half an inch!" He was tqo“clo8e” an observer t-o be both ered with any further questioning, from the exeited by-standers. Well Informedf.—The-New York Sunday Times says that one of the “upper ten” or eodfish' ariatoeracy and a gentleman in- “fair and regular standing” in the congregation of one of our city cb u rehes,- entered Tohnan’s music store a day or- two since, and stated his wishes in this wise: “Have yon Solomon’s Song?; I< want to get a copy.” “No, no,” said the salesman, not being able to recolleet at the moment any litho graphed sheet with that title,- “No, I- am a- fraid not.” “Ah,” said the amateur, drawing on his kids, “perhaps it isn’t out yet. Our pastor spoke of it last Sunday as a production of great genius and beauty, and I want my daughter to learn it. The shopman- with what gravity he could command, regretted that he had no copies in yet, and the customer left just in time to save the vest buttons of the book-keeper at the desk. A witty lawyer once jocosely asked a boarding house keeper the following ques tions— “Mr.——, if a man gives you $500 to keep for him, and dies, what do you- do; do you pray for him?” “No, sir, replied Mr. :——“I pray for another, like him. M “Gentlemen and Ladies,” said the show man, “here you have a magnificent painting of Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Daniel can easily be distinguished from the lions by the green cotton umbrella under his left arm.’ It may be necessary sometimes to hold a candle to the devil. It is batter to be happy than wise. It is a long lane that has no turning. m yagi
