A school-teacher, who has been en gaged for a long time in his profes sion, and witnessed the influence of a newspaper upon the minds of a family of children, writes as follows : I have found it to be - the universal fact, without exception, that those scholars of lx>th sexes, and of all ages, who have access to newspajiers at home, when compared to those who have not, are: 1. Better readers, excellent in pronuncia tion, and consequently read more under standingly. 2. They are better spellers, and define words with case and accuracy. 3. They obtain practical knowledge of geograghy in almost half the time it requires of others,' as the newspaper has made them acquainted with the location of the impor tant places of nations, their governments mid doings on the globe. 4. They are better grammarians; for, hav ing become so familiar with every variety of style of the newspapers, from the common place advertisement to the finished and clas sical oration of the statesman, they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text, and constantly analyze its construction with accuracy. 5. They write better composition, using better language, containing more thoughts, more clearly and more connectedly ex pressed. Those young men who have for years been readers of the newspapers arc always taking the lead in the debating societies, ex hibiting a more extensive knowledge upon a greater variety of subjects, and expressing their views with greater fluency, clearness and correctness in the use of language. The Plirenogolical Journal.

Beautiful Fancy Cloodw, . hi great variety, at 190 Broad street —Never speak lightly of religion. Don’t Read This- When trade grew slack, and notes fell due, the merchant’s face grew long and blue; his dreams were troubled through the night with sheriff’s bail iffs all in sight. At last his wife uuto him said : “ Rise up at once, get out of bed, and get your paper, ink and pen, and say those words unto all men: “My goods I wish to sell to you, and to your wife and daughters, too; my prices are so very low that each will buy before they go.” He did as his good wife advised and in the paper advertised. Crowds came and bought off all he had; his notes were paid, his dreams were glad, and he will tell you to this day, how well printer’s ink docs repay. He told us, w ith a knowing w ink, how he was saved by printer’s ink. < + City Coart. This Court met yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, Judge Snead presiding.

Seven verdicts and eight awards were declared on the Common Law’ Docket. In addition to the usual busi ness of the Court, some thirty citizens were naturalized. The Court meets again at 10 o’clock this morning. The Paraguay Affair.—We pub lish this morning the most important parts of the official correspondence be tween ex Minister Washburn and the Paraguayan Government, and with these some letters from the unfortu nate Porter C. Bliss, who was torn away from the shelter of the American flag by the savage, Ijopcz. The letter of confession, in which Mr. Bliss is made to implicate both Mr. Wash burn and himself in a conspiracy against the tyrant, is so manifestly either a forgery from beginning to end, or a falsehood, dictated by Mr. Bliss’ jailors, and forced upon his accept ance by threats, if not actual tortures, that a mere perusal of it is enough to convince anybody of the entire inno cence of the accused man, and the probability that, as Mr. Washburn be lieves, the whole plot was a fiction. The details that now reach us set the conduct of Lopez in a still blacker light than the first intelligence, and represent the outrage to the American flag as even more atrocious than we at first supposed. Punishment and repa ration must follow without delay. We hope soon to hear of a naval force in the River Paraguay which will be able to bear a bolder front than the little Wasp could present when two attaches of the American Legation were seized under its very guns. If we fail to avenge this crime W’c shall be forever disgraced. York Tribune. ■♦♦♦• A Singular Incident.—A well known gentleman of this city related to us the following singular incident, which we think will bear publica tion : In the early part of Spring he pur chased for his wife a full grown mock ing bird, which had been captured in a trap, and which he forthwith confined in a cage. In the cage this bird re mained during the entire summer. Some two wdeks ago the gentleman discovered that his bird was suffering under an attack of that scourge of the feathery tribe—the pip—and not knowing any means of relieving his little captive, suggested to his wife to let it free, saying that it would proba bly cure itself. This was done and nothing more thought of the bird until last Sunday when, greatly to the sur prise of the entire family, the identical bird made its appearance, entered the house through the window, alighted on his old cage, and suffered himself to be again placed therein. The most singular feature of the case, however, was the fact that the pip had entirely disappeared. The gentleinan informs us that there can be no pos sible doubt as to the idenity of the bird, he having been able to recognize it at once by several peculiarities.— Charleston Courier. Suspended.—We see it announced that the Charleston Mercury has sus pended publication. There could scarcely be a more suggestive fact. The Mercury has always been the organ of the Aristocracy of the South, and has always represented the ex treme sentiment of Southern slave driving aggrandisement. Before the the war, it was the earnest enemy of the Union. During the war, it cham pioned the harshest measures; and since peace, it has been the implicable foe of every honest attempt at recon struction. Edited by a member of the noted family of Rhetts, it has fully represented every principle of which the Rhetts have so long been intrepid ami consistent advocates. Its suspen sion, therefore, indicates that the “Aristocracy” is dead; that the “First Families” of the South can no longer support an organ; and that as a politi cal fact their empire is past. Wc are sorry for Mr. Rhett, and for the sus pension of his enterprise; but the death of the Mercury is a sure sign of the dissolution of all that remains of the proud and exclusive class that dwelt for so many years in South Car olina, and reigned over the whole Republic.— M. I'. Tribune. —Peacock feather in bandit hats are the latest female display in New York. UnkHunk I Mu. Editor—l have a little bird, which is as watchful and tenfold more truthful than the Ku-Klux owl of that rabid chronicler of malicious misrep resentation and barefaced lies. A few nights ago, my little bird was out pretty late, and struck up with two of the sa-called unterrified, who, as they were returning home from an Alder manic nominating meeting in a certain ward, were discussing the incidents, etc. The following colloquy ensued, a true report of which my bird gave me in language less blasphemous than the original: A. —-Well, did you ever see the like, or hear of such stamp down impu dence ? B. —You mean the attempt of that chap to get the nomination, eh? A.— Yes. B. I never did. A. —I was shocked; yes, more than that—astonished. The unblushing effrontery of that chap was deservedly rebuked. He be our candidate for Council ? I say it!” B. —But, I tell you, be liked to have raised us. He sorter demoralized the meeting, sure. A. —Yes, it was cut and dried—he came, sure of success. B. —But he partially failed. A—N onsense! What do you mean ? B.—l mean we squashed him; the pressure we brought to bear was of the conscript kind—he had to give in I A. As I said, I was shocked; the idea of that fellow for nomi nation ; the ballots of Tuch poor trash —they belong to the third class—are good enough, but that’s all the use we will ever have for them.. B. But he will break from us, and you know we need every vote at this time. We must run our ticket, made up of monied men, to a successful issue. We need the support of the third class, and of negroes, too. So we will have to soft-soap him a little. Don’t you think so? A. —Oh! yes, anything. Just promise anything to secure his vote and the votes of all such poor devils. It will, however, be a promise to pay at some eternally distant day. B. —We must wake the slumbers up. "Wealthy men are alone entitled to honor and office. W.e must see that that proposition is carried out by adopting clap-trap plans enough to elect the People’s party ticket! A.—All means are fair.. It won’t do to call our party the Democratic party —that will kill us dead. It is too Ku-Khixy for the negroes. We will gull the fools, if we can, and if we succeed, we will make our influence felt, sorely felt. S. W. November 19th, 1868. De Kebs makes de War ob Racers. Mas Editor:—Wen tic secossioners whip deniselves by extorsion, speck erlation, an blockade running, an Generil Lee had to give up, it was thought that de shivalry was whipped, au den Generil Grant, like au honest-hearted old soger, said, “Zef hs hub peace." But Mas Andyjohns son say no; by de external, lam de mans to make peace. To make de treeson ojus de rebels must undergo de pressure of de goose, so wen de jonny rebs gets away from de triangle steal, dey comes home an waits for de goose. I)e goose, howsotnever, turned out to be a fighting gander, and de more he try to whip de rebs de more it made cm mad, an den dey try to whip de nigger, de karpet bags, an de talawags, cause dey had no triangle steal, and dey pitched in under de pressure of de goose to get up a war of racers. I did not feel oncasy bout dis, cause I uoes dat any nig can beat a buckra running any time. Ilowsonievci’, de uomenatiou made by de secessionors shows dat I was mistaken ; instead of a war of racers, it turns out to be a war of razors— dam sharp ones at dat; for dese fellers have shave de buckra an de nigger, an de womens and de children, till dey is got rich, ami if dey is electcred to the Citty Council, ‘ llcll an scissors” will bo only a cirkuin stance wen do wooly heads comes to be maniperlated; dey won’t leave a hair on cm; dey will shave even where de tail ought to be for a greenback. Hallelujah ! dey can’t be electcred. Sambo. A I’oiHin Case.—A little darkey was recently found sitting on the step of a fashionable house, not far from Saratoga, crying pitifully. “What’s de matter wid you ?” asked a colored woman. “De matter’s ’nuff—double trouble all over the house. Fadder am drunk —mudder am gome home wid cloze—siss broke do looking glass wid de broom stick—de baby got her eyes full of kyan pepper, and little Ned Anthony put de mustard on his head for goose grease—l put salt in my tea for white sugar, and it makes me sea-sick —de dog licked Ned’s face, and got his motif full of mustard, and lies under de bed a howlin’—de kitten got her head in de milk pot, and I cut her head oft’ to sabe de pitcher, and den I hab to break de pitcher to git de head out, and de way I’ll git licked, when mud der comes home for setting de bed afire, will be a sin. —The Italian banditti carry their predatory excursions to the very gates of Rome. Recently a band of them entered the country residence of the pupils of the Scotch college at Rome, in the Campagna, and carried off the Abbe Campbell to the mountains, de manding a ransom of 100,000 francs for him. But the Papal troops fol lowed them up so closely that they were constrained to set him at liberty without going through the formality of receiving the ransom, and beat a hasty retreat to the mountains. - -Tiie Deseret AVirs, Mormon organ at’bait Lake City, thinks that the lessons of the recent earthquakes is, that the people should adopt Mormon ism, polygamy, and the prophecies of Joe Smith. News from Washington, Washington, November 23. Cuban fillibusteringisin has not become sufficiently tangible to warrant a proclamation, but it is understood that the Federal Marshals and Attorney Generals have been ordered to be watchful. Forty Englishmen and two Americans have been arrested in Syria, charged with smuggling arms into the interior of the country, for the purpose of overthrowing the Government. The prisoners claim that they were surveying for a railroad, and that the arms were to defend the employees. The American Consul is active in behalf of the Americans, but the English Consul appears indifferent as to the fate of his countrymen. Fullerton will have a hearing by the President on Wednesday, when he will submit additional evidence. All the Government offices will be closed on Thursday. McCulloch’s estimates for the coming fiscal year will show a decrease of forty to fifty millions. * ■ • ■ - —— Interesting from New Orleans. New Orleans, November 23.—A part of the gang who were lately depredating on the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, were arrested here on Saturday night last. The Times this evening copies from the Brownsville Ranchero, dated the 12th, letters from Monterey received the previous night, which state that Escobedo, having gone from Tampico to Victoria, for the purpose of commencing the Tamaupila campaign jointly with troops from Mata moras, was surprised by the entire forces of Vargos at Hacienda de Alamitas. Es cobedo was defeated, barely escaping with a few of his Staff to Monterey. Escobedo’s forces fought badly, and before the fight was over, hurrahed for Vargas and Canale, and finally declared in favor of the rebels. Escobedo attempted to collect his forces at Monterey, but failed?- the soldiers refusing to march without first being paid, and afterwards openly refusing to fight against their Tamaulipas brethren. Escobedo, seeing this complicated state of affairs, sent his resignation, declaring him self incapable of putting down the Tam aulipas Revolution. The forces at Victoria, under Lopez and Montesinas, becoming demoralized, disbanded themselves, a large portion joining Vargas’ command. It is believed by this time Tampica has pro nounced, as well as odier towns in the State, and soon the entire State will be in the hands of Vargas. , Caban Intelligence- Havana, Nqyciuber 23.—The Republi cans claim that the Revolutionists arc receiving. dis|y 'retoferccments, but the GovernmeffiiO dHTefont information. The revolutionary districts arc suffering for provisions. The reported rising in Vuelta Abajo is a hoax. The Revolutionists are badly armed, and lack ammunition. The Government dispatches state that Valmaseda holds Puerta Principe. Val masedn ridicules tbe idea of being attack ed. On tbe' contrary, Valmaseda says he has commenced operations against tbe Revolutionists. —■ Killed with a Poker- Philadelphia, November 23. - Mrs. Mary E.

Telford, Missionary in China, now visiting his home in Pennsylvania: „ Washington, Pi., June2s, 1860. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son. Providence, R. 1.: Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes, begin tn give a table spoon fnl of the same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Killer, clear and rnb the limbs briskly. Os those who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Yours, truly. r Telford. If an attack with Diarrlicea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don't delay the rise of the Pain Killer. Sold by all-medicine dealers. Price, 25 cents, 50 cents, and fl per bottle. Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866. Gentlemen— * * * I want to say a little more abont file Pain Killer. I consider it a very valuable medicine, and always keep it on baud. I have travelled a good deal since I have been in Kansas, and never without taking it with me. In my practice 1 used it freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any other medicine; I also used it here for cholera in 1855, with the same good result. Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D. Swato, China. Choleia I * * * I regret to say that the cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to fifty or sixty fatal cases each day bus been re ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, sent recently from the Mission Monse, has been used with considerable success during this epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual in check ing the disease, Rxv. CHARLES IIARDINIG. Sholapore, India. [From lite Portland Monthly.] Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints scent just now to be the prevailing element, and atty medicine that is every where acceptable, and that is reliable, is n very desirable acquisition. From what we have seen,beard, and experienced,, we believe Davis' Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best method of using it, we quote from the directions: "For common bowelcomplaints, give one tea spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the done for children, according to the age. If the pain be severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of the cholera morbus, suddeh stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every hour. “The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery enred was by taking one spoonful of the Pain Killer in one gill of milk aud molasses stirred well together and drank hot. nt tbe same time bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let the dose be repeated every hour nntil the patient is relieved.” If every person who has reason to fear this disease would provide themselves with a bottle of this medicine, and use us occasion required, we believe a great amount of suffering and sickness would be saved. jel2—2m BRITISH PERIODICALS THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conservative), THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig), THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Radical), THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church), And BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGA ZINE (Tory).
