Citizens of North and South America, To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D., cf Germany, [Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor o 1 adding anew and precious doctrine to the science of medi cine —a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed D y many of the faculty, (of which he i* a valuable member,) be proves to be as well founded in truth as any doctrine of Holy Writ —a doctrine, upon the verily of which are suspended the lives, of millions of our race, and which he boldly challenges his op posers to refute, viz: Consu option is disease ai wavs occasioned by a disordered state of V ls V it<e (or*Life Principle) of the human body) often secretly lurking in the system for yeajs belore there is the least complaint of the Lungs \A —and which may be as certainly, though not so|q(iickly, cured, as a common co dor a simple heahaihe. An invaluably precious doctrine this, as an important lesson to the apparently neaUbjj of both sexes, tear nag them that tnis insidious foe may be an unobserved inmate of their -‘ clayey.[houses” even while they imagine themselves secure from its attacks, teaching them that the great secret in the art of preserving health is to pluck out the disease when in the blade, and not wait till the full grown ear.

Goehck’s new doctrine we are happy to say that we* deem his Sanative too valuable not to be generally known—for what our eyes behold and lour ears hear, we must believe. J We Hereby state, that when Dr. Loim, Offen Goelick tirst came oefore the German public, as the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a new medicine, we held him in the highest con tempt, believing and openly pronouncing Pina to be a base impostor and the prince of quacks. Rut, on hearing so much said about the Sanative, against it and for it, we were induced, from motives of; call osity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and we now deem it our bounden duty (even at the expense of self-interest publicly to acknowledge its efficacy in curing not only consumption, but other fearful maladies, which we have heretofore believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the discoverer ot this medicine was at once svyaijtowed up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected results; and, as amends for our abuse of him, we do frankly confess to the world, that we believe him a philanthropist, who does honor to the pjrotes skn, and to our country, which gave him form. The recent adoption of this medicine into some of our European hospitals, is a sutficient guaranty that it performs all promises. It needed not our estiraony, for wherever it is used it is its owfobest wi ness. HERMAN ETMULLER, SI.MB. WALTER VAN GAULT, MJ D. ADoLIHUS WERNER, M. fr. Germany, December 10, 1886. {3 k t!

MILLER, adm’r. From the Portland Transcript. W e have read some little poetry in our day and have been variously aflected by it. hut our feelings were never so wrought upon as in reading the following lines. We do not believe there is to be found in all the poetry that has been written, either ancient or modern, three stanzas containing more of the‘real ore’—the pure unadulterated essence than will be found in the article below. This is high praise, but we unhesitatingly submit our better opinions tc the better judgment of our brethren. Our correspondent has oui thanks for this exquisite production : Stanzas. When the cold storm howls round your door, And you by light of taper. Sit cozi y by the evening fire, Enjoying the last paper— Just think of him whose work thus helps To wear away the winter, And put this query to yourself— Have I paid up the Printer ? From east and west, from north and south, From lands beyond the water, He daily, weekly, brings you news From every nook and quarter. No slave on earth tods more than he Through summer’s heat and winter: How can you for a moment then Neglect to pay the Printer ? Y r our other bills you promptly pay. Wherever you do owe sir, The butcher for his meat is paid, For “sundries” is the grocer ; The trader and the shoemaker. The hatter and the vintner. All get their pay—then why neglect To settle with the Printer ? Woman. I admire in woman that innocent expression which wins by its simplicity and unaffected ness, that artless unadorned beauty with which the God of Nature has been pleased to mantle her. I admire that sparkling internal gem, the jewel of intelligence, which shines dispensing light and diffusing its all-poweiful influence to the soul, in fdcinatmg and virtuous allections and kindly char ities, which never looses their reward. I admire an emulation of that taste for whatever refines the manner, enlarges the mind, strengthens and purifies the heart; thus engaging the attention by the vivacity and spirit which it gives to ihe per son and conversation. I admire that ingenious ness of disposition which makes her society so attractive, pleasing, and at all times desirable; throwing around those within its kindly influence a charm and a facination which the face, the in dex of the heart, unceasingly makes manifest, through the unwonted smiles of pleasure, made irresistable by its captivating charms. I admire her for those humble, retiring and unobtrusive virtues, wc.ich although their lights may not he dazzling and resplendent, yet throw around hu manity a soft and heavenly radiance, which, in woman, is particularly to be admired and imita ted. I admire to contemplate her as the swift winged messenger of love bent on errands of mer cy, in which character and altitude she so bright ly shines, being charity’s loveliest almoner, where ‘The poor’s her client, and heaven’s smiles her fee,’ as well also in that sphere where thfe warm and generous impulses of a susceptible heart throb in listless joy at the happiness its own presence cre ates within the domestic circle. I admire woman for her virtuous influence upon society. Wheth er at home or abroad, at all times and in all pla ces, like the genial influence of the sua, her ra diating virtues are every where to be seen and felt, enl vening, refreshing and invigorating the noblerpulsation of society-—thus quickening into new and active energy by her presence, her beau ty, her affection and her love. I admire and love her. when elevated by a religion capable of being so personified in her as to discover its truly noble and animating principles, the full sjhlimhy of its faith, and the invigorating aspirations of its hope, causing the outpouring of the heart, first, to deep en in subdued reverence and gratitude to God, and next, to overflow in unbounded love and be nevolence to mankied; thus in the life and ac tions, teaching and informing us, that the great object of existence ought to be, in view of that one event which liappeneth un.o all, manifested in the advancement of human happiness, which we have the divine assurance, will not fail to meet its just reward. I admire her for these, and all other virtues; but let me pause here to inquire what is it that gives to woman these, so much to he admired, fascina ting, virtuous affections, kindly charities, refine ment of manner, ingenuousness of disposition, controlling moral influence in society, and the suchlike'? It is education ? It is the cultiva tion of the latent powers of the mind, that is to be found in those brilliant hues that enchant the world ; it is in this rich casket that is contained the precious elixir, by which may be transmit ted that witchery to the eye» benignity to the countenance, and grace to the gesture. To fair and beaufeo is woman I would then say cultivate the n ind ; then, though beside her may he seated the daughter of nobility enrobed in all the richest taffeties of the Indies, displaying the most precious of Golconda’s riches, without the jewel of intelligence, still will she but the more conspicuously shine, outvieing her in that jewel of the head, which emits its heavenly lus tre and thrilling beams of intellectual fire.

From the Raleigh Register. Vixcennks.—We have la'ely been favored with an able, well written Address by Judge Law delivered before the Vincennes Historical and Antiquarian Society, which contains some stri king and intere-_ ing facts in relation to the his tory of that valuable portion of the Union—some of which we extract for the entertainment of our readers. Clouds and darkness (says the Judge) rest on the early history of Vincennes. It is almost im possible to determine at what date it first became a military position. In the latter part of the 17th century the French attempted an union of their Settlements watered by the Ohio and Mis sissippi and their tributary streams, with their possessions in Canada. To effect this, they es tablished a cordon of posts from the ] akes to the Baiize, including a military station or two on the Illinois and Wabash. The project was a good one, and but for the concurrence of circumstances usually attendant on national schemes when col onies are to be formed at a distance, might have been successful in forming a territory which they meant to have called New France. But the War with Great Britain, which was concluded by the peace of 1763, transferred Canada to the Brit ish dominions, and Louisiana, by a secret treaty with Spain in 1763, to the latter power, which stripped France of all her possessions in the new world. It appears from a work, entitled “Edifying and curious Letters,” published at Paris in 1761, that Vincennes and Kaskaskia, were at that time oc cupied by French troops; butthe tract of country, lying to the e stward, now abounding in ail the materials which constitute a great nation, and which contains upwards of two millions of in habitants, was then all but a desert, to the banks of the Delaware. During our Revolutionary war, in February, 1779. Gen. George Rogers Clarke, aided by Col. Francis Vigo, and a comparatively small number of troops, took possession of Kaskaskia, Vincen nes and some other posts on the Wabash and Ohio, and was the means of securing to us thtf whole territory now covered by three great flour ishing States,lndiana, Illinois and Michigan, and yet, great as were the consequences of these con quests of Gen. Clarke, we scarcely find a page of our Revolutionary annals filled with an ac count of the important events. The act of Virginia, transferring the Northwes tern Territory to the United States, passed in De» comber, 1783, and in 1787, the celebrated Ordin-- ance for its government, which came from the pen of Nathan Dane, of Massachusetts, was pass ed by Congress—an ordinance, which for its wise and wholesome p ovisions, and for the blessing* which it will carry down to posterity, is unequall ed by any legislative act ever framed here or else where. In 1800, Congress passed the act dividing the Indiana Territory, from what was called the Ter ritory Northwest of the river Ohio, and in 1801, General Wm. H. Harrison was appointed its Gov ernor. The whole population did not then ex ceed 5.000 souls. The census which is about to be taken of the several States, wil: soon show the present population of the three States. They have in the present Congress six Senators and 1 eleven Representatives! An Extraordinary Trial. — A trial took' place nut long ago, before the Criminal Court of; Grenada. For some years past there had been' residing in the village of Ugijar, a charitable in dividual, named Don Vincente de Bentaval-y Sa xar, whose fortune was devoted to improving the condition of the villagers and relieving the poor- Tosuch an extent did Don Vincente carry his charity, that he denied himself almost the neces saries of life in order to succor the necessitous, and he has been known to take the cl >ak from his own back to cover that of a poor female who* was without one. Suddenly, the peaceful* inhab itants of this village were alarmed at accounts of murders committed in their neighbourhood, and; all attempts to discover their origin were vain. It* was merely known from the circumstances at tending them, that they must have been com mitted by the same hand. Suddenly, however,, the mystery was to be revealed. Two peasant’s* who had entered a recess to shelter themselves from the sun. and eat their mid day meal, were startled by the firing of a gun, and running out, they saw the body of a murdered man, and the murderer standing over him rifling his pockets. They threw themselves upon the assassin, and having secured him, were in the greatest aston ishment at seeing that it was the charitable Don- Vincente. As the denial of the crime before him was impossible, he admitted that he was the au thor of all the murders which had been commit ted, and stated that his only motive was to obtain money—his own resources being exhausted—for the poor. In his defence before the Judges, he declared that his first murder, that of a wealthy priest, took place under the following circum stances : In Pon Vincente’s village, two young persons were oetrothed to each other, but a sudden ca lamity which occurred to the father of the female prevented his paying the promised portion with, his daughter, and the marriage was on the point of being broken off. Don Vincente, hearing of the circumstances, resolved to raise the money, and applied to several of his acquaintances for a loan, but received a refusal from all. Shortly afterwards he met the priest on his road, and. asked him to lend hi n 30 ounces of gold;-the priest, wh>» knew him well, said he had 100 oun ces in bis portmanteau on the back of his mule, and that he was welcome to it ail; but Don Vin cente having afterward, in his joy, told him for what purpose the money was intended, the priest laughed at him, and said he was mad, and that foi such a purpose he should not have a single ounce. Don Vincente, irritated at this, shot him' dead : and having taken his gold, gave the wed ding dowry, and distributed the rest in various acts of charity. Having committed this murder, he resolved to make the robbery of the rich the means of supplying the continual demands of his poor pensioners; and as this*was only to be done by taking life, he committed murder after mur der until he was detected. On hearing, the sen*.- tence of death pronounced upon him by. his Judg es, he exclaimed, “ Oh, my God !'. who will now take care of my poor I”— Galignani's Messen ger.
