Peak Silts : During a residence of some ten vears in Siam and CUiua, as a missiona¬ ry, 1 tound your Paia-Ki lot a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge the Cholera. Iu a lmit-istering the medic.ne 1 found it most effectual to give a tea-spoonful of Pam Killer in » gill of hot water sweetened with su ar ; then, alter about fi'tceu minutes, be¬ gin to give about a tablespoon I ul of the same mixture every few minutes until relief is ob tained. Apply hot the applications stomach with to the Pain ex¬ tremities. Bathe the Killer, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. Of those who had the Cholera, and took the medicine faithfully, in the way stated above, eight out of toil recovered. REV, R TELFORD. Missionary in China Dear S ns : Dicing a long ic Hence in China l haw used your valuable I’ein Kil¬ ler, both in my own family and among the Chinese, and have found it a most excellent medicine. In the Summer of 1802 and 1803 while residing in Shanghai, I found it an al m. at curtain cure for Cholera, if used iu time. Indeod, using it in a g.eat many iu stances, I do not remember tailing in a sin gle case. For three years I have been re¬ siding in this place, more than fif y mi’c* from a physician, and have been obliged of t- n to fad upon my own resources in cases of sicknva-. The Chinese come to us in great jiumbcrs for mcdicLae and advice.— Tin u,h wit ho it medical knowledge our¬ selves, Dio few- sniplo remedies wc can com¬ mand at e «o much in ndvance even of their physicians, that we have almost daily appli¬ cations We allow them to come, because it brings us in contact with them and opens a door of usefulness. In diarrhoea, colic, vomeiing, Killer choUr a , coughs, etc, your Pain has been *,y chief medicine. Yoms, ve-y Ilisv. trutv, T. I*. < RAW FORD. Tur.goWw, China. Those using Pam-Killer should etriciiy obs, rye the fol owing dir- clious ; At the commencement of the disease, take a tcaspooiilul of the P* in Killer, in su¬ gar and water, and then hatha freely across the s oniach and bowels w.tli the Pain-Kil¬ ler clear. bhould tbe d.nrrhea and cramp con'iuuc, repeat the dose every filtccu miu utis. In this way the drcadtul scourge may be checked and tho patient relieved in the course ol a very few hours. N. B.—Ho sure and get the genuine ar¬ ticle ; i nd it is ret'ommeuded by those who have used the Pain-Killer lor tho Cholera, that iu extreme cates the patieul take two (nr more) te .spoontrls instead of one.

On being brougit into the ante-room of the lodge (Greengrocer Touiplo, No. 101,) 1 was told that I had bet n bal¬ loted lor and accepted. My informant, who was securely masked by what I al terwards learned was a large burdock leaf, perforated with boles for the cyrs, told me that if I valued iny life it would bo necessary for me to strip, As I did consider that considerable worth to me, and as he italicised bis. wishes by care¬ lessly playing with a seven-shooter, I withdrew from ray garments with eagerness. My masked friend then furnished me with the regalia of the first degree-called the ‘‘Festive Plough boy”—which consisted merely of one large cabbage leaf attached to a waist¬ band of potato vines, in this airy costume I was conducted fo tho door, where my companion gave three dis¬ tinct raps. (I was securely blindfolded by binding a slioe of rutabage over each eye.) A sepulchral voice flora within asked : “Who comes ?” My guida auawered, “A youthful agriculturist who desires to become a granger.” voice—Have Sepulchral ? you looked him carefully over noble Guide—I have, gate-keeper, S.

In token that you arc one of us, you will now be branded. This cercmouy is very impressive, and consists of two brands. They are both applied ‘while the iron is hot,' and consists each. The of one first letter is letter of the S, alphabet which a on you will please sit while the other let¬ ter is applied to the stomach. T. p letter S iny chicken, signifies scooped, and refers to railroad monopolies. It is also supposed to indicate the seat of learning—the spot where the old-time teacher hunted for braius with the ferule The second letter is C, and is applied, as I said before, to the stom¬ ach. It has a double meaning. First, the application is an agricultural one, ( corn orib,’ and has reference to the stomach as being the great receptacle for Bourbon whisky. But, brother, do not be diligent in finding second a home market for your crop. The ap¬ plication ol the let er C, my distracted infant, is got hold of as follows When one granger desues to ascertain ‘for sure’ if there is another of the order in the room, he raises himself unmentionables gently by the alack of his—of his —scratches his off thigh with his near hoof, and remarks in a voice of thun¬ der ; ‘Are there any grangers about ?’ Tha answer is, ‘Jeese wax.' The in¬ quirer then says, fLet us see’ (letter 0) and the other party must immediately pull out his stomach and disclose the Lraod,’' These brands aro applied in such a manner that I am enabled to assuro you that they will wash. I was here interrupted, Mr. Editor, by a volley lived into the open window, evidently intended forme. Fortunate¬ ly I escaped without a scratch, and, whioh is of more consequence, in fetch¬ ing off iny precious manuscript. This is about all there is in the ceremony of any importance. I must leave the coun¬ try at once, armed men at my heels.— they know that I um writing to expose them. You may hear from me again by mail, if I should deem it best to expose the other degrees.

Origin of Familiar Words The word ‘-quiz,” to uiakefuu of, or poke fun at a person, was the coinage of the lather of lliohurd Brinsley Sher idan, at the time a theatrical mauager in Dublin, At a drinkiug party with his friends, ouo Saturday night, where the couversation turned upon the sub ject of words, he offered to bet the wine that he could then and there coin a word which would bo in the mouths of all Dublin next day. The bet being taken and the p rly dispersed, Sheridan called up his runners and call boys, gave them pieces of chalk, and ordered them to ruu all over the city chalking the word “quiz” one very door, shutter, and fence they came to. This was done, and as a mutter of course the new word was in everybody’s mouth the next day. The manager won his bet, and the word is now in all respect¬ able dictionaries. “Kicking the bucket,” the slang ex pression for death, had its origin from one Bolsover, in England, who com mitted sui.-ide by stuudiug on a bucket till he kicked it irom under him.

Its ses¬ sions are held only once iu four years, flio convention which framed the Meth¬ odist Episcopal Church South, at (lip time when the great division in the Methodist Episcopal Church took plaoG, met heie in 1 ^ 44 . thirty years ago.

It would be a gratifying coincidence if Louisvil)o, which was the phice where the division in this greatveligious body took definite and prominent form, should be tho place where a movemout for reunion was inaugurated.

A Washington letter to the Louis, vi 11 c Courier Journal says the friends of the measure for refunding tho cotton t ix are moving in Older to secure its consideration at Ihc picsent session of Congress. There session, is now, as conviction tliero was at tlie list a strong that this money was wrongfully and unconstitutionally extorted from tho cotton Statis at a time whan their prostrate condition dictated a wholly different policy. The great difficulty in the way of securing payment in tho last Congress was the strength of the sectional preju¬ dice still existing against those iStates for seceding fioni the Union ; but this feeding would probably not have proved sufficient to defcit the claim, if tho friends of tho refunding measure had been aide to agreo among themselves about tho payment of tho money. Tho associations of cotton factors who had spout their time and monoy Washington in pushing the claim in tho courts at insisted that the money should be paid to tho parties actually holding tho re ceipts for the tax paid. Some of tho planters were willing to let the matter tike this course, but others urged that they had really paid tho tax, as the factors had deducted its amount on paying them for their crops. At this time several schemes aro pending, Ope offered by Mr. Cooke of Georgia jure,, poses to give the money to the State® in which it was collected, which would probably ba a very agreeable solution of tho question to the negroized Legis¬ latures of Mississippi, South Carolina, and Louisiana. Another bill, offered by Mr. McKee, corresponds with tho old bill of last session, which proposed to pay the persons holding tho receipts itnposr for taxes paid. In view of the nihility of pasaing any measures unless its friends arc all united, some of tho most influential of tlm Southern repre¬ sentatives have been preparing a com' the promise bill, designed to secure and tho rights of both the planters equitable dtvis* factors by promoting an refunded and it ion of the sums to be ; is under-tood that such a bill wilt be proposeJ. It is certainly tbe only kind of a cotton tax bill which has a possi? bility of passing Congress.
