The Relived Phyulclan.
Dr. H. James, “the retired physican,
whose sands of life have nearly run
out,” proves to be a man named Oliver
P. Beown—who went to New York
about two years and a half ago, a
“strapped” journeyman printer, from
Vermont. He failed in several news
paper enterprises, among them, tin
*■ Empire City," the “ Golden Dollar,"
and the “Cheerful Visitor," and deter
mined to go into the medicine business.
He hired a penny-a-liner to assist in get
ting up his plan, and an old man name<
Kttvper to personate the “retired phy
sican” and opened with the “Cannabis
Indica”—a compound purporting to be
an extract from East Indian Hemp, a
rare medicinal plant, but really com
posed of liquorice, slippery-elm, honey,
and other simples. His success ind ucea
him to go into other medical enterprises, j
and we find him selling “Regulating
and Purifying Pills,” and the “Excel
sior Ointment of India.” He alsi
formed a partnership styled Monnet 4
Co., to treat private diseases. He go
up a fever and ague remedy, “discover

under the name of Madame Julie Mell

The Farmville (Va.) Journal notices
the return from Liberia of two slaves
.vho were emancipated by the late Juhr.
vVatson, of Prince Edward county. Tin
sum of $4,000 was left by Mr. Watson
in carry sixty of bis slaves to that “Ile
public.” VThey give a very discourag
ing account of the trip out and their
cieatinent after they arrived. The
Journal says:
“ Before leaving the ship, the agent
»f the Colonization Society induced the
emigrants to purchase quantities 01
cheap calico, brass jewelry, &c., assur
ing them that they would ueed such ar
licles in their new home, but on their
| arrival they found they had been de
ceived and defrauded out of their mo
ney. Tire provisions carried out fur
their support for the first six mouths,
were sold daily before their eyes, and
they were compelled to buy provisions
every day, often of very inferior quali
fy, and insufficient in quantity. The
igent employed by the Society would
>ell to the bakers, and the bakers to the
j migrants—their own provisions—at
exorbitant prices, the agent receiving
part of the profits.”
On their arrival they only received a
half acre of laud, instead of the live
icres promised. They found provisions
it exorbitant prices, and a good deal of
had treatment besides, from the authori
ties. They allege that the President of
the Colony, if not engaged in the slave
trade, connives at it. They have re-
turned to slavery, believing i f
“That freedom to the negro in Africa
is the greatest curse that could possibly (
oefall him ; and that had the Liberians ,
the means of getting away, seven-eights j
if them would gladly return to tile
United States, and serve the hardest (
masters to be found in flic South, feel- !
mg that the condition of tire slave here \
-s far preferable to that of the most j
favored of the inhabitants of Liberia.” ,
Hilly How legs In New Orleans.
The Now Orleans Delta has an amus- 1
ng account of the proceedings of Billy j]
Jowlegs in New Orleans. It says :
We called down at tiro Barracks yes- !
erday to pay our respects to the “ex- ]
ring of the Florida*,” hut found his
excellency drunk, fast asleep, with no j 1
me but l.is young wife by his side, |'

We were not surprised to see Billy thus, 1
(Mowing his weakness for “fire-water.”
We have had the distinguished honor i
if meeting the General on several pre
clous occasions, and the condition we j t
found him in yesterday was by no j
means a novel one. I -
The fact is, there has been no greater 1 1

mnscious of what is going on around,
vhen inebriated, can never be surprised
or made to answer questions which he
would not do when perfectly sober.
! The squaws were having a gay time of
it among themselves, and, from appear

although "ham Jones,” the veteran ,

riors, still remains and refuses to leave I

one hundred and seven years old, and
in li is dotage. He has lost the use of
his legs, hut is still powerful in the
arms, and is obliged to hop about on a

We learned that the Indians do n t
leave until Wednesday, during which
time Billy will show himself upon ma
nyof our principal streets, accompanied
by his best looking wife, and will be
prepared to give his autograph to those
who may he prepared to make presents !
to her We warn our readers —far Bit- j
ly, besides being the greatest drunkard, j
is the greatest beggar alive. He con- j
verses fluently, both in Spanish and j
English.
On Sunday he went up to the city, j
proceeded to the City Hotel, and aftei '[
having registered his name, repaired to j
the parlor and amused the ladies con j
gregated there by good-naturedly an j
swering the many questions put to him. j
The ladies were, of course, astonished
to find him so well posted, instead of
the wild savage they had taken him for. j
They plagued him considerably about
his small hands, hut Billy said it was j
the family mark, and ho was proud of ;
them.
One of the ladies asked him liow he I
came to be so brave. Hilly answered, ’
“1 was born so, madame.”
Dinner being announced, he politely i
withdrew from the presence of the la
dies, and taking the arm of one of the
clerks, walked into the saloon and drew
up a chair at the head of the table,
aud went into the eatables as if he had
fared sumptuously all his life.
Eiitaiicipallon of the Russian Seifs.
A detailed programme has been issued
at St. Petersburg regulating the labors
of the committees of the nobility con
cerning the Emancipation (If the Serfs.
In this programme three successive pe
riods are indicated for the completion
, of the measure. In the first period.
, embracing six months, the principles of
the emancipation are to be established.
In the second these principles are to be
-! applied to each property, and in the
third a common code of laws is to be
I drawn up for the rural population.—
j After that delay the peasants ore to oh
3 I taiu all the rights of other tax-paying

May Fashions for Ladies, f
Double skirts are worn in taffetons *
and other light material. They arc
both simply hemmed or ornamented by
a plaiting a ia vicllie. Flounces also
are much adopted, they are now often •*
arranged so as not to reach higher than
the knee. Sometimes live flounces are
so placed as to leave the front breadth
uncovered by them, and the interval
thus left is covered by bows of ribbon.
Plain skirts, which are always made ve
ry full, may be prettily trimmed by
placing a bow ol ribbon,with long ends
reaching to the bottom of the dress, on
each seam of the front breadth, about a
quarter of a yard below the waist.
During the summer, wide open sleeves
appear likely to be most in favor. Ba- »
•L'ge, grenadine, toile de sole, taffeta
de laine, in checks, stripes, or chine ;
Chambery gauze, primed muslins, ano *■
Pekin, with colored patterns on a white
ground, arc the materials which will It
in demand.
For full dress, moire antique contin- e
ues to be very much in use. Chinese j
ind plaid silks in large patterns are also r
much worn.
Some very pretty dresses are in large
/hecks—formed by stripes of two shades j
md in the centres small bouquets ol I f
>ne or several colors ; this is, perhaps, j f
the newest and distinque pattern.
The skirts of dresses are worn quite
is full as ever. Many bodies are made !
with bands, —and even when these have t
long ends, buckles arc invariably worn.
Low bodies will be very much worn this |
summer, with those pretty fichus so
much admired last year. *
Silk basqnines arc also much worn, <
ind will continue to be so. Thegrelot
trimming, headed by a plaiting a la ,
viele or gauffered, is the favorite.
Bonnets arc now worn decidedly lar
ger than they were in the winter,point- J
ed in front, some of them even bending ;
over the forehead. White crape cover
ed with black spotted net is much worn;
whilst others are made of white crape
or tulle, trimmed wiii lilac, pale green <
pink’ blue, or plaid ribbons.
For dress bonnets chip is most in fa
vor. One of these was trimmed with a
fringed bow, mauve and white, placed ; :
on the left side ; a blonde veil falling > i
over the crown and curtain.
Flowers and blonde are more used i
than feathers in trimming, audit is said j
that they will continue to be so during I
the summer.
Bonnets are much less trimmed than j
| they were.

The Wheat and Co tou Crops in j
Egypt.
In the late foreign nows we find a I
-tatemeut that the crops of Egypt are I
likely this year to he deficient". It was j
stated last autumn that the Nile had
risen imperfectly, and fallen rapidly.— j
In consequence of the inundation of the ]
land being deficient, and of short dura
j cion, it is now stated that the grain j
| crops in the provinces of Upper Egypt, I
and the cotton crops in the Delta and!
j the eastern districts of Lower Egypt,
| wifi be deficient in quantity and poor in !
i quality. It is known that the negleot
j ed state, for some years past, of the ca
! nals for rrigation throughout the coun-
I try, which have been allowed to get
| choked up by the mud deposits from
i the Nile water iwith which they are
tilled at the period of the inundation),
| has greatlycontribntedto this disastrous
| result, ’ihese canals, intended to serve
|as reservoirs for the water which is re
quired for irrigating more especially the
| cotton growing lands during the spring
jand summer months, are already near
|ly dried up, and the cotton plants—
i which require being wptebed constantly
jduring the hot season, which is done by
i raising the water artificially from the
canals—will either perish altogether or
produce little cotton, and that of a very
; inferior quality.
' This state of things will affect serious
, ly the fellahs of Egypt, as well as the
1 trade of Great Britain. Three fourths
of tiio exports of Egypt go to Great
Britain, and arc paid for the British
manufactures, chiefly cotton mauufae
• hires, coals iron and Machinery. The
' trade, too, is carried on almost exclu
sively in British vessels, and lire amount
of it, as shown by the Board of trade re
• turns, has been, for the last ten
years, larger than the British trade
1 with any one of the continental States,
j, except Russia.— Ex. Pa.

TO THE PUBLIC, i
THE EXTRAORDINARY course pur-1
sued by the rival Managers of different I
LOTTERIES to injure ua beca se our liberal j
■ schemes, and prompt mi' net* of doing business
. has materially affected them, compels u - to call j
special attention to the facts, which all who deal
1 with us know already. That is : that our Lot j
teries are legal, the managers and trustees hon
, est and honorable men, that we have sold more I
prizes in the last twelve months than all other
! Lotteries in the Union, and that they have been i
t promptly cashed in all cases, on presentation.
The effort to injure us is aimed not only at our
. bu-incss by our rivals, but is also intended to
; act politically on one oi our partners : and we
> j assure our friends and the public that
WITH OUR CONCERN
