Tne sclny Evening, March 9, 1858.
A Novel Excuse.
Among the thousand and one excuses
urged to rebut the appeals of newspaper
agents, the following recently told us
by one of our last year drummers,
“heads ’em all
A considerate knight of St. Crispin,
whose mission is somawhat congenial
with that of the editor, since both cater
to the understanding of their fellows—
was politely invited, when the Dispatch
first started, to subscribe for it.
“It’s meself that would take the pa
per, sure,” said he, “but the wee thing
is not large enough to wrap up a pair of
boots, at all, at all.”
This was a settler—and the said
agent hadn’t divil a word to say.
Since that time the paper has been
enlarged, and a pair of boots that could
not be enveloped in its ample pages
now. would be hard on creeping insects.
» Respcctnbly Connected. v
An exchange paper notices the arrest
of a young man implicated in some
crime, and says it refrains from giving
names as the individual is “ respectably
connected.” It is time that the press
should cease to he a respecter of persons,
and deal with crime on its own deserts,
and not according to the position of the
family to which the offender belongs.
“Kick him —he’s got no friends ” —is
the motto of the world toward the crim
al of low position, while fine cloth, and
fine kin, and money, prevent the ex
posure of many ajgenteel villian, and
shield many an obdurate neck from the
embrace of the halter. In every town
and city in the land,offences that“smcll
to heaven.” are passed over in silence—
not even gazetted as items of city news
—because the parties are “respectably
connected.” This is all wrong—it is a
subservience entirely at variance
with the true standard of elevated
journalism. A fear of exposure is
oue of the strongest preventives of
crime—and when an offence becomes
current in tire court room or on the
street, it is a subject of legitimate news
paper publicity, and the press that
chronicles it subserves the public good I
and should be sustained i,by the lovers
of law and order. We are no friends
of low personal abuse, scurrility or that
licentious journalism that gloats on de-1
tails of crime and social corruption—but i
as|i legitimate medium of popular influ
ence, the press may and should chroni
cle the results of false education,vicious
influences, and contempt for law, and
this is one of the channels in which we
have marked out a higher and bolder
path as a newspaper. If offenders do not
wish the notricty of printers ink, let
them avoid offences —respect the rights
of their fellows and obey the law.

Cure for Chapped Hands.
Most of our juveniles during the winter!
season are troubled with chapped hands ; j
for tire benefit of mothers, whoare obli-,
ged to listen to their endless complaints, I
we publish the following recipe for
chapped hands.
Take 3 drachms of camphor gum, 3]
do. white beeswax, 3 do. spermaceti, HI
ounces olive oil—put them together in I
a cup on the stove where they will melt j
slowly and form a white ointment in a j
few minutes. If the hands lie affected
anoint them on going to bed, and put i
on a pair of gloves. A day or two will j
suffice to heal them.

that Mr. Clark, the overseer of Mr. j

come it.”
P. T. Pa its cm (says the New York
correspondent of the Charleston Courier )

He is again actively at work and labor- j

the management of the Museum. I
hear that he is already making arrange- j
ments to rebuild his palace at Iranistan,
which was unfortunately destroyed by
fire. Barncm and his family are now
residing in this city. Erelong he will,
doubtless strike upon some novel scheme j
by which he can again mount the lad- i
der of fame and fortune. His adversi
ties have taught him prudence, and in
future he will take advantage of a very
painful experience.

The Committee on Revolutionary
Claims have prepared an interesting re

lineal descendants of Revoli tionary Of
ficers the pay for life which was granted
them during the revolution by the Con
tinental Congress, hut subsequently
commuted by five years full pay, part
of which was paid iu Continental mon

provides a reduction of commutation

similar to the one passed by the House
as its last session.
Washington, March s. —The move
ment in the Senate towards enacting a
general Bankrupt law,excites considera
ble atteu lion. It is regarded as a quasi
administration measure. It is said cor

and creditors, and regulate commercial
transactions throughout the Union. —
Members of all parties appear to favor
the measure.
A Legislative built Capital.
A Kansas correpondent of a St. Louis
paper writes as follows of the late Free
State Legislature The grand feat of j’
the season was the location of the capi
tal. Leavenworth, Lawrenc and Tope
ka were the contending points, but in
each of these there was hut little chance
for speculation. A plan was concocted
and carried into execution to lay off a
capital, in which each member should ;
bo au original stockholder. This was i
done i>rior to any vote being taken on ,
, the subject. Upon taking the first in
formal vote, llinneola came into exis-
I tence (it had never been heard of before)
1 and had one vote, the balance being j
very scattering. Atthe next balloting,
Minneola had more votes ; at the next, !
more still —, and so on, until she ob
tained the requisite majority. Every
member who voted for Minneola has
sixteen shares in the same. We have
■ sa n ome ait towns in Ivans is, InitMin
necla surpasses them all. And where
is it ? the people ask. Upon the naked
prairie, half way between Lawrence arid
nowhere. Who own the town ? The
members of the Free State Legislature
of Kansas own above two-thirds, and
hold the balance in trust, to be used in
buying out the next Legislature.
A plat of the town is already litho
graphed. It makes a good show, and
contains the State House and other pub
lic buildings, together with numerous
dwellings scattered here and there over
the whole fourteen hundred acres. The
only thing in the shape of a habitation
upon the town site at present, is a lone
tree, containing a crow’s nest. The
Governor will have to roost on that
tree, when he moves his office and ar
chives in March, according to law, in
his case provided.
Tile Money Glut.
| In the language of Wall street, there
jis a glut in the moiiey market. The j
j Banks cannot obtain enough good pa- j
1 per to meet their ability to discount,
| and the private discounting houses are
puzzled to find profitable employment
! for their funds. The money glut is
j even greater in London than here ; and
j at last dates, first-class bills were read
j ily negotiated at one half of one per
| cent, discount. This state of the mo
j ney market gives animation to the stock j
j market, but it indicates an unhealthy j
| condition of business. The capital I
! which should be flowing through all the j
i arteries of trade, commerce, and indus- j
I try, giving health and activity to busi-!
j ness enterprise, and employment to la
j bor, lias been drawn back into the great
! financial centres until its accumulation
| becomes oppressive.
But this conditren of things, the natu- j
! ral result of tire panic, cannot long con
| tiiiue, and when this accumulated capi-j
tal begins to circulate again freely j
through all the channels-of trade and j
industry, new life and new vigor will
be imparted to business enterprise, and
labor will find abundant and profitable
employment.
There is one satisfactory thought sug
gested by the money glut. It proves
that there is abundant capital in the
country to carry on its legitimate trade,
and all legitimate works of material
! improvement. It is not money that we
j want, hut a proper use of the money j
i that we have, to revive our prosperity. |
! There is plenty of money in the country j
to employ, and plenty of food to feed |
every willing worker in the land ; and \
,if our capitalists and merchants and !
manufacturers will use their means and |
tlieir opportunities wisely and well; j
they maj' make the close of 1858 as I
prosperous and promising, as the close I
of 1857 was disasterous and discourag
ing.- New York Sun.
The Maker of the Infernal Machine.
The shells used in the attempt to give
the Emperor and Empress of France,
their quietus, it has been accertain?d,
were manufactured by a Mr. Joseph
Taylor, an ingenius mechanic of Bir
mingham, England. They were made j
to the order of a mail who had been in- |
traduced to him by a respectable Bir
mingham manufacturer, as “his friend i
Mr. Allsop.” It is thought to have
! heen innocently done by Taylor, as he ,
spoke of the matter after their delivery,
in October last, and enquired at the
Enfield government manufactory of
small arms, if any instrument had been
invented in which such projectiles were
j used.

The London Times compiains, “Her
Majesty is no safe guide. Her disregard
of Lent is proverbial.” And now she
has “held her first royal drawing-room
after her [daughter's marriage, on the j
day of the martyrdom of the blessed
King Charles I.” Many rejoice, how-:
ever, at her disposition to sweep away ;
this and other memorials of ancient par-!
ty strife, and for an order in council to I
withdraw the last shadow of a pretext j
for reading services which have been i
generally discontinued for many years, !
and which would outrage the feelings j
of all parties in the Church and the
Commonwealth.
Exciting Incident.
The following item is from a late
English journal :
A few evenings ago, as the play of
Jesse Verc was being pefonned at Wool
whieh Theatre, and when a scence in
the third act had been reached,in which
a “ terrific struggle ” for the possession i
of a child takes place between the fond
mother and two “hired ruffians,” aj
large Newfoundland dog, which had by j
some means gained admittance to its
owner in the pit, leaped over the heads |
of the musicians in the orchestra, and
ffew to the rescue, seizing one of the as
sassins, and almost dragging him to the j
ground. It was with difficulty remov- j
ed, and dragged off the stage. The dog j
which is the property of the chief en
gineer of her Majesty’s ship Buffalo, has
been habitually accustomed to the so- j
ciety of children, for whom he has, on j
many occasions, evinced strong proof of;
affection.

I For Dyspepsia , Colds and Female Complaints
i arising from Colds.
LrSEFUL IN VARIOUS DISEASES'
J of the stomach, such as pain or an uneasy !
sensation in the stomach, caused by cold or t ie
indigestion of food, Heartburn, Flautulency, or [
wind in the stomach, various Female Complaints ;
peculiar to tin- sex, kc. They act upon the Li
ver and Secretions generally. They assist the di
gestion of food and strengthen the stomach ; tip- j
on the bowels they have a laxative tendency. •
FOR DYSPEPSIA.—If food causes pain in the j
stomach, a dose taken immediately after meals, j
or as soon as the uneasy sens lion is expori- j
encod, will relieve the pain and assist digestion. I
FOR COLDS—Taken at the commencing stage j
of colds, they will prove almost an infill ible !
cure in all cases. They are also valuable for the
prevention and cure of chills in their first stages, j
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM
COLDS.—If these Bitters were taken by females j
immediately after having been exposed in cold ,
or rainy weather, to prevent taking cold, or |
w**re taken for colds at the commencement ot ,
being unwell. and their use continued through,
that period, they would save a great amount ol ;
suffering, and often prevent diseases which Ire- j
quently terminate fatally, especially with young t

(sf A Liver .Remedy.—Wei
{wish to say to every person who reads this that
there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's In
! mgoralor, or Liver Remedy, which can be relied
jon as certain to cure liver complaint i•; any ol
• its forms, such as Jaundice. Dyspepsia. and nu- i
meroua other Complaints, described in another |
* column, besides which it is one of the greatest \
1 preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
(early stages, that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has pr t
ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally I
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated |
1 system, caused by the improper action of the i
| liver, which reduces the power of the lun. s to j
! resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and ;
J irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this
| disease, because the liver has incapacitated
them from performing their proper action *»f
i throwing off diseased matter caused by cold,
i Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver
j and keep the system strong enough to throw off
) slight diseases of the lungs.
! There is not in the world a better liver reme
dy or a cure fur debilitated system than Dr. j

jin a large and extended practice till its results

j Solved .’-DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-
I MAL. —The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
j has lost the power of duly converting food into a I
l life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single;
: course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric j
fluid re acquired its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
j the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
j paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
j wholesome revolution created in the system, the
! basis of activity, st rength and health,
i The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
i acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcux
j or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- j
j rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with ;
| paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that!
i terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
! or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
ticn and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous iu
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands o!
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ot'
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual sull'.ring from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent relit f from j
the u-e of this incomparable renovator. To j
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it ,
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many I
perhaps who have so trifled with their cons tit u- j
lion that they think themselves beyond the reach j
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The ;
Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re !
ieixncc to the causes, and v. iii not only remove j ’
