An Amusing Incident. Avery amusing and well told story is to he met with in one of the last letters of the Courrier des Mats Unis’ European correspon dent. The scene is laid at Baden Spa, in the height of the fashionable season. Os course the hotels arc filled to overflowing with occu pants. A gentleman, an Englishman by the cut of his coat, arrived about midday at one of the principal hotels, followed by a c>mmis sionnaire, carrying his portmanteau. He ap plied for a room. The polite host was sorry not to he able to accommodate him : his ho tel is full. The stranger would not take that for an excuse : he had been to six hotels and received the same answer. “I cannot help that, sir.” “But you imist help it: you must give me a room.” “It is impossible, sir.” “Oh! don’t try to humbug me; I want a room, and a room I will have.’ “\oti will have to slay in this passage way then. ’ “Very well. You will not find mo a room, I’ll find one for myself.” And off lie stalked jp stairs, followed by the host and the com missionnairc. The stranger proceeded in his search in the most direct and persevering manner, lie took every story and wing in order, tried ev ery door and occasioned tiie greatest scan dal and disturbance thereby. Imagine the consternation and affright ot the ladies, who, whilst they were engaged in the duties oi the toilet, saw the door of their chamber opened, and a strange, peering, imperturbable face thrust in ; of course they shrieked an alarm. The gentlemen disturbed in the same manner showed their anger by expressions not at all consonant with polite usages. The stranger moved on from door to door, undis turbed by the storm he had raised, and not heeding in the least the entreaties and impre cations of the panting and indignant host. At length one last door remained to lie es sayed ; it was opened; and a room ol com fortable dimensions was disclosed to view, unoccupied by aught save the trunk and a few scattered garments of some traveller, then little aware of his fate. “I’ll take this room!” said the stranger, placing his portmanteau on a chair, paving the carrier and motioning him away. “But tliis room is taken, sir!” exclaimed the host. “The occupant should he here then. He is not here and l take his place, replied the j stranger, throwing the scattered garments out \ of the window. “How dare you throw | those things out?” said the host, now exas- j perated beyond measure. “I ll throw you out if you stay here two minutes longer! answered the other fiercely. “Irv it! re plied the host savagely. “I will!’ said the stranger coollv, and the next moment the in furiate little hotel-keeper found himself forci bly ejected into the passage-way. ‘in a short time he returned with a crowd of servants, all armed with sticks ami brooms, determined to turn the insolent stranger out of the house. They rushed into the room. The strang er was shaving himself. Ho turned round, razor in hand; coolly surveyed the array and asked the gentlemen what they wished. Something in his look and attitude kept the crowd of waiters back. lie laid down the razor; took up a pair of pistols; leisurely cocked them, and took aim at the little host, j “[ give you just one second to leave the | room,” he said. The affrighted servants rush- j ed out of the door way, carrying along with , them, the struggling host, more infuriate than ever. The gensdarmes were sent, for, and pre sently tlie door, now double locked, was be sieged by the police and their armed emissa ries. No answer being returned to repeated j summons, the gensdarmes battered open the : door and entered at a charge, ‘I lie strung- j or, one cheek shaved and the other lathered, i presenting a very comical aspect, stood be- j hind a small barricade of furniture, sur- i mounted by his own portmanteau and his pre- 1 decessor’s trunk, and, holding out his pistols, ; swore he would shoot the first man who ap- ; proached his fortification. The gensdarmes : hesitated ; the valiant host, hidden behind j the door, cried out “charge!;” ‘I he stranger : fired at the door; the little man sank on his | knees, almost frightened out of his wits; the brave gensdarmes ruahed at the barricade; bang! went the other pistol, fortunately in juring no one, but still more frightening the little man behind the door; the stranger, fighting like a lion, was knocked down, , bound and carried off in triumph to the chief j magistrate’s office, followed by an immense : crowd who sacred their intense hatred ot the per fide Albion and their intense admiration of j the brave Baden-Baden gensdarmes. The stranger was committed to jail, the magistrate then being at dinner and not wil- j ling to disturb digestion. Black-eyed and bloody-nosed the hero of the day sat in his j cell, cursing his fate and resolved on burning the hotel and murdering its inhabitants so soon as he could be set at liberty. Meanwhile the police opened his portman teau and examined his papers. Imagine their astonishment and the surprise of all Baden- Baden on learning that the fighting stranger was no less a personage than a member of the Congress of Peace on his return home from j Frankfort So much for profession and prac- j tiee. The Russian, the Pickpocket and Jenny Lind, j A young and wealthy Russian officer was sent over here, in May, 1817, on an affair of 1 much importance. A few days only were al- j lowed him to transact the business. It was the eve of that musical insanity, the debut of: Jenny Lind. Onr Russian shared the anxie ty of the million to lie present; but, on ap plying for a ticket, lie found they had been all eold. He tried the music shops, *Ac., but without success. He offered 20/ for a stall, to uo purpose. This was desperate. He was to leave London the next day ; therefore the offer of procuring a stall for Jenny Lind’s second appearance was useless to him. The j stranger was no common-place person ; he j resolved, cowte qui conic, to try every possible j means to gain his object, and accordingly went early, and stationed himself at the prill- i eip.il entrance to her Majesty’s Theatre. • Here he addressed several who were waiting j for the opening of the doors, and offered a handsome sum for the relinquishment of their admission in his favor; but all wore inflexi ble. Money was no object; no Russian gold could have atoned to them for the loss j of the Swedish Nightingale’s rich notes: and ; pur friend had almost begun to despair, when, all at once, he felt an attempt at his pocket. He quickly put his hand behind him. in time to catch hold of the thief, who had fully suc ceeded in extricating his note-case, as it was actually in his possession. Our friend, who was a muscular young man, immediately seized the delinquent bv the collar, and, be ing a tolerably good English scholar, signi fied his intention of delivering him over to the police. .The poor wretch pleaded extreino poverty ; but this would not do ; a wife on a bed of sickness; but this was equally un successful; at the details of three-starving children (the traveller was a young father,) the pickpocket completely succeeded in mol lifying his raptofi “Well,” said he, “I give you, but only on one condition. As you are so expert in the extraction of property, you must immediately procure for me one o( these gentlemen’s pocket-books. If it should contain an admission for the opera to-night, I will allaav you to depart unmolested, with the addition, perhaps, of a trifle for your wife and children ; hat mind, I shall have my eye upon you, and at the least appearance of your attempting to escape me, 1 shall give you in charge of the police.” The man cheerfully undertook the commission; and in a few minutes our Russian friend was in pos session of a handsome pocket-book, contain ing the much-craved-for stall-ticket. Ad monishing the light-fingered gentleman to be more honest in future, and presenting him with a handsome gratuity for his wife and family, he very soon lost sight of his profes sional friend, in the opening rush into the theatre. The next morning, Mr. —, a respectable old merchant, retired from busi ness, was at breakfast, and was describing to a friend his disappointment, the night before, in not hearing Jenny Lind, in consequence of’ Lis having been robbed ot his pocket-book, at the entrance to her Majesty’s i heatre, when the servant brought in a small parcel, accompanied by a note. On opening tiie parcel, what was Mr. ’s astonishment, when he discovered the stolen pocket-book, exactlv in the same state as when he lost it, except that, in place of the single-stall ad mission, it now contained a ticket for n box on the grand tier, for the next night of Jenny Lind’s performance. The note contained the following words: “Sir, —Pray, accept the enclosed box-ticket, as a small atonement for your disappointment yesterday evening. Having offered the sum of twenty pounds, unsuccessfully, for a stall, 1 enclose you that sum for the use of yours. Hoping v’ou will enjoy the treat of which 1 so unceremonious ly deprived you, believe me, dear sir, your very obliged, Faxatico.” The noto con- J O 7 tained a cheque for twenty pounds. Tiie Basest Kind of Swindling. The basest kind of swindling yet practiced is noticed in the New York Courier. Some mean-souled scamps advertise “500 girls wanted to work on shirts,” and when appli cation is made, the girls are told that a de posit of one dollar is required as a guarantee for the safe return of the garment. This de posit is made, and the cloth is taken, to be made into shirts at a sixpence each. In due time they are returned, and the girls are told to come next day, after their work has been examined. They go next day for their pay, and are then told that their work was not well done—that the cloth was spoiled—that they cannot have their pay, and that the dol lar which they deposited will he kept to pay for the cloth they have spoiled! Thus these men get the work for nothing, and make a dollar besides ; and next day the} 1 advertise, as before, “500 girls wanted;” and so go through the same operation. And this swin dling is systematically pursued, the Courier says, from week to week, throughout the year, by many establishments which transact an immense amount of business with the tra ding public; and what is still worse, these villainous frauds are not dealt with legally, because the magistrates are unwilling to of fend the wealthy and influential parties against whom the complaints are made, at the instance of the friendless and moneyless fe males from whom they come. A fine set of public magistrates, and a nice sense of jus tice ! “Zat is my Trunk I” In the days of coaching over the Provi dence turnpike, before railroad cars were in use, and baggage crates existed, and when travellers had to keep a sharp look out for their luggage, some forty or fifty passengers had just stepped on board the old “Ben Frank lin,” and got under way at Narragansett Bay. A gentleman, who had occasion to get some of his wardrobe, had just hauled out from an immense pile of baggage stowed amid-ships, anew black leather trunk of port ly dimensions, studded with brass nails, when a little withered Frenchman, of a mottled complexion, and fashionably dressed, darted from the crowd, and interposing between our friend and his property, exclaimed, courte ously, but positively— ‘l beg your pardon, sare—mais pardonnez mai—you have got ze wrong cochon by ze oreille—zat is my trunk !’ ‘Not so, monsie’r—l hope I know my own traps. ‘Restez tranquille—hold on—dans un in stant, I vill prove 1113’ props ?—aha! you see dis key, eh V Applying it to the lock, he threw up the lid, and then struck a triumph ant altitude. ‘My key unlock you trunk, eh! tell me zat V ‘Stand out of the way!—it’s m3’ trunk, I tell you.’ ‘Hold on von little minute! zose 3’our sliurrts, eh V ‘To he sure they are!’ ‘Zose you drawaires, eh?’ ‘Certainty!’ ‘Vait a moment —I vill prove me props, sare,’ and the little Frenchman, rummaging beneath a pile of shirts and socks, produced a bottle, and said deliberately, with a hideous grin. ‘Zat vour bot-telie of Don-frees Ish (Itch) ointment, sare, eli l Ave you got von lectio Ish ? Zis 3’ou remedy forze lepros (leprosy,) eh! Ah! be tarn ! I know it was my trunk ?’ It is needless to remark that our friend im mediately ‘opened a wide gap’ between him self and the interesting victim of two of the most unpopular disorders known to suffer ing humanity. “ James, what are the olfactory organs?” asked a teacher. “ Tlnw’re the machinery’ in factories where oil is made,” was the prompt reply. The master lifted his cowhide, but the next instant went into spasms. “ I don’t like to patronize this lino,” said a culprit to a hangman. “O, never mind this once,” was the reply', “it yvill soon suspend its operation.” Jenny Lind Guards, is the title of a vol unteer company of soldiers in Ncyv York.

Miss Rosina Melinda Annette Mariana Ophelia Hobbs, a young lady, died in this city’ on Wednesday evening last, from grief, caused b3’ the death of an old and cherished lap dog. She is to be buried in a romantic valley, and a weeping willow planted over her grave. “Shall I help you to some of the tomatus sus,” inquired a young exquisite of a venera ble phy-sician, as he sat opposite to him at one of our hotel tables, “No, sir.

We are happy to remark that our recent chapter on beards has met with approval bv all writers yvho have noticed it, except one of our citv T editors, yvho thinks that a moustache must seriously interfere with eating soup. Our reply is, that moustaches have the ad vantage of soup hr priority’ of invention; and that no authentative mandate is or has been given us to cat soups, while it is true that Moses commanded the men ol Israel to let their beards grow; and under the Christian dispensation certain backsliders yvere com manded to tarry at Jericho until their beards had grown. It is true that a person should be neat who wears a moustache. A barber is ver3’ useful to a slovenly person yvho sel dom washes his face, and yve think that even good Moses did not mean his injunction to apply to the uncleanty. Does the editor of the Boston Post seri ously consider the representations of human ity left to us in the statuary of Michael Ange lo as resembling goats or monkeys ? Does he think that the portraits of illustrious men bv Raphael and Vandyke, with those of all other highest artists that the world ever knew, are so hideous as to disgust women of refined and hitrlily cultivated taste? If he does, what does he think of the portraits ol our Puritan fathers in Funeuil Hall ? Do the3 T resemble “goats and monke3*s —to the disgust of women and tho terror of children?” — Mir ror of Fashion. Boilino a Watermelon. —Some time since, a Jad3’ of Philadelphia, having received some company", ordered the cook to serve up a large watermelon which she had just pur chased in the market, at a specified time in the evening. Time roiled on, and the period came, and passed, in which the aforesaid melon was to have been served; and the mis tress looked towards the door, every’ minute expecting Bett3’, with the mel on. Finally, as her anxiety could no longer be kept within the bounds of silence, she rang the hell; and presently, a round-faced, rosy-cheeked, dumpling-shaped sort of a paddy, yvhosc appearance betokened a green ’un from the Emerald Isle, thrust her open countenance in at a narroyv aperture between the door and the door jam, and gave notice of her appearance by asking her mistress— “ An’ yvhat yvould you lie afther havin’ ?” “ Why don’t you bring up the melon, as I ordered you ?” asked the mistress. “ An’ faith, an’ it’s gone.” “ Gone ? gone yydiere ?” “ An’ troth, an’ I put it in yes pot to bile, an’ faith, an’ 1 b’lave the witches hev taken it up the chimney ; for the crather’s all gone!” The poor girl received a good tongue-lash ing for her ignorance.

His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca ses, in which it has been used within the above named period,and in no single instance has it come to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when perse roved in. -Many of the cases were from four to ten years stand ing : and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex traordinary, is, that when the patient has been once re lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re turn. All ha weald atk for this remedy ie a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains ne ap prehension. L T p to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress, and character of this dis ease, and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, and had used ail the remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and science of tiie most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country.

Josr.s’ Hotil, Philadelphia, March 3d, 1850 Col. A. B. Kagan — Sir : It affords me great pleasure to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Dr. de Graffcnrieds Jiheumatic Liniment. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with, what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced. Rheumatic gout,for several winters past i have loen confined to my room and bed nearly all the time. In January last, I had an attack as violent if not more *0 than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks; on your receonnnendation I commenced the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene ficial from its first application. In a few days my hack, wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling's reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. 1 have been in the discharge of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease which I have ever met with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all who may be afflicted with it. Respectfully Your*, N. W. BRIDGES. Jones’ Hotel. Baltimore March, 30 1350. Dr. de Graffenried — Dear Sir For the last twelve year* 1 have anficred very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to my hod by it. I have had the best medical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer at the Wliitc Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return home, fso far recovered,as to be able to walk about a lit tle. About six weeks since, I had a very severe attack which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain and scarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of mine called and informed mo that you had discovered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu matic Linament, and take pleasure in infomiinig you that in less than twenty four hours from the first application I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to tins time. lam now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflicted, as 1 have been, may be as sneedily relieved, as I have been with your medocine.— Wieliing you all the Blessings you deserve Dearsir.

Oot. 20, 1849 Dr. De Graffenried—Dear sir: I take pleasure in giv : ing you tho particulars ofmy affliction by, and relieffrom Rheumatism. During the spring 0f1844 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism. I employed al! the most celebrated remedies then known and used in similar cases,aided by medical advice, until September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever. I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured him : and in one month, from the time I commenced the application, I was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as 1 e ver was, and have continued *o to this time. Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON, FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. do Graffenried—Learning that yon arc about to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Liniment, I take pleasure instating that I believe it one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that common and most distressing disease, having witnessed it effects upon a negro man of mine, who had been af flicted for four years, until almost every joint was en larged, and the body otherwise emaciated.

Dear Sir —About th* first of April last. 1 came to Co lumbu* to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you, as having a remedy that would afford mo speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints *0 badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the lingers contracted and swollen; tiie right knee swollen and stiffened, so that 1 could not bend it hut very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu matic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room —I could also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which the previous day, I could not have done if my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use. open and bond my fing ers, wich was an imbossibility the day before. I ro*c in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu matic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I would not have been in the condition which I had been, ten days before I called on you, for any nmout of money which'eould be given me ; for what is life worth when in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in tho world. I am, dear sir, vour friend. J. H. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1549. Dear Sir—Air negro woman Patience, a cook, had a itilffneck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven years, and could not turn her neck except with tho body.

Being at tacked in one joint ofrny finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with hut little benefit. I made application of two bottles of your Liniment, which lam happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re commend its use to all persons affected in like manner. . Very respectfully, F.

During the last summer, a son of Mr. Abraham Crabill, of this county, was very se riously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his distressing malady, that lie procured another bot tle, and is restored entirely to health.” Read Further a Fete Facts. The “Philadelphia Democrat,” the leading Gor man journal of Philadelphia. The editor said, No vember 24th: “We again call attention to the removal of th* German Medicine Store, the principal depot fi r the sale of Dr. Ilooiland’s German Bitters, from 278 Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.— Owing to the increased demand for this medicine, and for the accommodation of his numerous patients, Dr. Jackson lias been compelled to occupy a la* ger store. Wc wish him success in his new quarters; he is deserving it The Bitters Mixture is without doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the Liver and Bowels. A stubborn case of Chronic Diarrhoea has come under our notice, wherein tli* patient had exhausted the Materia Medieas f the different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit. He was induced to use these bitters, and a few bottles of them have entirely cured him. Many such eases we could refer to. We hope our readers will recol lect this groat restorative, should they b* so unfortu nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possesses th* original unpublished receipt of Dr. Iloofland, and he prepares this medicine with care. Those pur chasing should call at his store, or set that his name it written upon tilt wrapper outside, aad blow* it th* battle, as imitaties* of good articles art ttnamtt.” Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great ati entifie and literary attainments, said in his “New York Weekly Messenger,” January 8. 1850 : “Dr. Hoof and's German Bitters. —Hero is a pre paration which the leading presses in the Union ap pear to be unanimous in recomending, and the rea son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern times, the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Iloofland, Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician to the Ivingof Prussia, and one of the greatest medi cal writers Germany has ever produced, lie was emphatically the enemy of humbug , and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser may be perfectly relied on. lie specially recommend ed it in Liver Complaint,Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all com plaints arising from a disordered condition of the stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Phila delphia papers express their conviction of its excel lence. and several of the editors speak of its effects from their own individual experience. L'mler these circumstances, wc feel warranted not only in calling the attention of our readers to the present proprietor’s (Dr. C. M. Jackson's) preparation, but in recom mending th* article to all afflicted.” More Evidence. Th* “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” the best family newspaper published in the United States, the c litor says of DR. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. “ It is seldom that we recommend what are termed Pate nt Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our readers: and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Iloofland's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinct ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos trums of the day that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their gnility race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally prized, and which has met the heaity ap proval of the Faculty itself.” Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos trums combined, a fact that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when presented even in this form. That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, after using it as direct ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver— it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases —the effect is immediate. They can be administered to female or infant with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. Beware of Counterfeits. This medicine has attained that high character which is necessary for all medicines to attain to in duce counterfeiters to put forth a spurious article at the risk of the lives of those who are innocently de ceived. Look well to the Marks of the Genuine. They ban? the written signature of C. M. .JACIC tSON upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle, without which they are spurious.

Th* Faculties, for intellectual ahilitiee, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our country. The medi cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them are able lecturers and tire beet of teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt *a to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city has more. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to th* place of studying medicines; those who intend practicing among the diseases of the West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty ara particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may b* satisfied oftb* permanency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal organization whieh connects them, cannot be interrupted.
