Li iviu tliu seventh vo.uuic ot the “Live* oi the Queens of Scotland, by Agne* Strickland. ] The EsecnKen «f M-— ‘ irt. Aisix o'clock on the fat :.f . ::g of the 8th of Feb ruarv, Mary Stuart toid her ladies "‘she had hut too hours to live, and bid them dress her as for a festival.” Very minute particulars of that last toilette have been preserved, both by French and English historians, and a contemporary MS. in the Vatican contains a description of it from the pen of an eye-witness of her death. It is there stated that she wore a widow’s dress of black velvet, but spangled all over with gold, a black satin pourpoint and kirtlc, and under these a pet- ticoatof crimson velvet, with a body of the same color, and a white veil of the most delicate texture, of the fashion worn by princesses of the highest rank, thrown over her coil, aud descending to the ground; r.Iso, which is not mentioned in any other acconnt, that she had caused a camisole of fine Scotch plaid, reaching from the throat to the waist, but without a collar, to be prepared the night before, that when her upper garments should be removed, she might escape the distress of ap pearing uncovered before so manv people. While her ladies were assisting her to dress, she, with the femnine delicacy of a really modest woman, earnestly entreated them to be watchful over her in the last terrible moment, when, ob served she, “I shall be incapable of thinking of this poor body, or bestowing any care upon it. Oh, then, for the love of the blessed Saviour, abandon me not while under the hands of the executioner!” They promised, with streaming | nor ine,” said the Queen, “for know that 1 aui settled in the ancient Catholic and Roman faith in ' defence whereof, bv God’s grace, I mind to spend i my blood replied t. d ... “* . ! your opinion, and repent juu ot your former , wickedness.” “Good Mr. Dean,,’ rejoined she. “ trouble notyonrseif any more about this mattei. I was born in this religion, and am resolved to die in this religion The earls, perceiving her resolu tion was not to bo shaken, said. “Madame, will you pray for your Grace with Mr. Dean, that you may have your mind lightened with the true knowieogeof God and his word/’’ “Mv lords,” replied the Queen, if you will pray witli ine, I will even from my b?>irt thank you; but to pray with you, in vour mauner, who are not of the same religion with me, were a sin.” The eails then bade the Dean “say on according to his own pleasure.” This he did. not by reciting the beauti ful office for the dying, or the burial service from our Anglican Church, but in a hitler polemic composition of his own, tending neithet to comfort nor edilDation. Mary heeded him not but began ic pray with absorbing aud tearful earnestness from her own breviary and psalter uniting portions from the .‘list, 51st, and 91st Psalms. She prayed in Latin, in French, and finally in English, for God to pardon her sins and forgive lier foes; for Christ's afflicted church; for the peace and prosperi ty of England and Scotland; for her son, aud for Queen Filizabeth; not with the ostentation of a Pharisee but llie holy benevolence of a dying Christian. At the conclusion of her last prayer she arose and holding up the crucifix, exclaimed, As thy anus, O Christ! were extended on the fell Then she entered her oratory alone, and kneel ing before the miniature altar, at wh'ch her almonerhad been accustomed to celebrate mass, opened the gold and jewelled ciborium in which the Pope had sent her a consecrated wafer with a dispensation to do what had never before been permitted to one of the laity—administer the Eucharist to herself preparatory to her death, if denied the ministration of a priest It is impossi ble for a Protestant biographer to describe the feelings with which Mary Stuart performed her lonely communion, under circumstances so strange to a member of the Roman Catholic Church. No mortal eye beheld her in that hour; but the fol lowing Latin prayer is well known to have been extemporized by her during her last devotions, on the morning of her death: “O Oomine Deus! speravi in te; O care me Jesu, nuuc libera me. In dura catena, in misera pa-na; desidero Laeguendo, gemenda et genu flectendo Adoro, imjdoro, «t Hbores me!” “My Lord and my God I have iioped in Thee; 0 Jesus, Sweet Saviour, now liberate me. 1 have languished for Thee in afflictiansand chains; Lamentingaud sighing through iongyeai s of pains. Adoring, imploring, on humbly bowed knee, I crave of Thy mercy, by grace set me free.” Tiie wintry morning Lad dawned before Mary left her oratory. She then concluded her letter to her royal brother-in-law, Henry III. of France, by adding several earnest petitions rn bcltall of her faithful servants, and I lie final date: “The morning of my death, this Wednesday, 8tli Februry.— Signed Marie R.” She returned te her bed chamber, where, seating herself beside the fire, she began to console her weeping ma : ds, by declaring the comfort she felt in her approaching release from her long afflic tions, and reminded them “that her uncle, the late Duke of Guise, had told her in her childhood ‘that she possessed the hereditary courage of her race, and lie thought she would well know how to die;’” : yet he had never anticipated the possibility of her i suffering the terrible death by v. bicli she was 1 about to v< rify the truth of his prediction. She j spose of the transitory nature of human felicity. ! and the vanity of earthly greatness, whereof she eyes, to be near her and to cover hor body as she cross, even so receive me into the arms of Thy mercy, and blot out all my sins with Thy most precious blood.” ‘ Madam,” interrupted the Earl of Kent, “it were better for you to eschew such Popish trumpery, and bear Ilim in your heart.” “Can I,” she mildly answered, “hold the represen tation of the sufferings of my crucified Redeemer jo my hand without bearing him, at the same time, in my heart?” The two exeentioners, seeing her preparing to make herself ready for the block, knelt before her and prayed her forgiveness. “I forgive you ail and all the world with all my heart,” she replied,” “for I hope this death will give au end to all my troubles They offered to assist her in removing her mantle, but she drew back, and requested them not to touch her, observing with a smile, “I have not been accustomed to be served by such pages of honor, nor to disrobe before so numerous a company.” Then beckoning to Jane Kennedy and Elizabeth Curie, who were on their knees in tears below, they came to her on the scaffold; but when they saw for what purpose they were re quired, tiiey began to scream and cry, aud were too much agitated at first to render her the assis tance she required, so that she began to lake out the pins herself, a tiling to which she was not ac customed. “Do not weep,” said she, tenderly re proving them, “I am very happy to leave this world. You ought to rejoice to see me die in so good a cause. Are you not ashamed to weep/ Nav, if you do not give over these lamentations I must send you away, for you know I have promised for you.” Then she took off her gold pomander, chain, and rosary, which she had previously desired one of her ladies to convey to the Countess of Aiundel as a lasf token of her regard. The executioner seized it. and secreted it in his shoe. Jane Kennedy with the resolute spirit of a brave Scotch lassie, snatched it from him, and a struggle ensued. Mary, mildly interposing, said, “Friend, let her have it, she will give you more than its value in money;” hut he sullenly replied, “it is my per quisite ” ‘It would have been strange, indeed,” observes our authority with sarcastic bitterness, “if tliis poor Queen had met with courtesy from an English hangman, who had experienced so little from the nobles of that country—witness the Earl of Shrewsbury and bis wife.” Before Mary proceeded further in her prepara- cotnpellt-d to leave 1.under to his fate, aud tu thu disgrac** which he had deservedly drawn down on his own head * * The end was a vev- ' :i.- ’ ... _ id Land . : t this 1-, tin- lightest portion ot tue result How in- etfahle is the disgrace to a man of Mr. Lmdor’s ability and reputation at the close of a long life to be mixed up with so disgraceful a transaction!

Late English papers contain the following ex traordinary narrative, from the pen of Charles Reade, the well known author. It is to be hoped that the active resistance to the vile system of private mad houses will he successful, as it would seem tiiat nothing is easier than to declare a rela tive insane and then to defraud him of his prop erty. We have heard serious complaints of the private insane hospitals on our side of tiie Atlant ic. There is nothing so fearful to contemplate as that one may be declared insane, and thus really made so. The following is Mr. ICeade’s state ment : . On Friday last a talc was biougbt to me that a sane prisoner hail escaped from a private mad house, had just baffled a mad attempt to recapture him by violent entry into a dwelling house, and was now hiding in the suburbs The case was grave; the motives alleged for his incarceration were sinister; but the interpreters were women, and consequently partisans, and some of, though not all, the parties concerned on tiie other side, bear a fair character. Humanity said, “Look into the ease.’” I insisted, therefore, on a person’d interview witli Mr. . This was conceded, and we spent two hours together ; all uf which lime 1 was, of course, testing his mind to the best of my ability. I found him a young gentleman of a healthy complexion manner rif, but nut what one would call excited. I noticed, however, that lie liked to fidget, strings and other trifles between his finger and thumb at times. He told me his history for | some years past, specifying the dates ot several j events. Ho also let tue kuow that he had been subject for two years to fits, which be described to me in full. I recognized the character of these fits. His conversation was sober and reasonable. But bad I touched the exciting theme? We all know there is a class of madmen who are sober and sensible till the one false chord is struck.* I came, therefore, to that delusion which was the original ground of s incarceration: his no tion that certain of his relations are keeping “Old Hundred.” | If it be true that Luther composed that tuno. and if tiie worship of mortals is * tp- : -d »t lf , ! to Heave;., how of.ell lias he | heaid the declaration, “They are singing Old Hun ; dred nos. .” The solemn strain carries us back to ! times of the reformers—Luther and his devoted I band. He, doubtless, was the first to strike the grand old chords in the public sanctuary of his own Germany. From his stentorian lungs they rolled, vibrating not through vaulted cathedral roof, but along a grander arch, the eternal heav ens. He wrought into each note his own sublime faith, and stamped it with that faith's immortality Hence it cannot die. Neither men nor angels will let it piss into oblivion. Can you find a tomb in the land where sealed lips lay, that have not sung that tune ? If they were grey old men, they had heard orsung“Oid Hundred.” If they were babies, they smiled as their mother rocked them to sleep, singing “Old Hundred.” Sinner aud saint have joined with endless congregations where it has. with and with out the pealing organ, sounded on the sacred air The dear little children, looking with wood- riug eyes on this strange world, have lisped it. The sweet young girl w hose tombstoue told of 10 sum mers ; she whose pure innocent face haunted you u ith its mild beauty, loved “Old Hundred;” and as she snug it, closed her eyes and seemed commu ning with the angels who were soon to claim her. He w hose manhood was devoted to the service of God, and he who with the white Land placed over his laboring breast, loved “Old Hundred.” And felt satisfied Murphy could play as many games as himself.

This was the substance of his hallucination as he revealed it to me. His father was a member of a firm with his uncle and others. Shortly be fore bis death his father made a will, leaving him certain personalities, the interest of £5,1)00. and should he live to he twenty-four, the principal of ditto, and the reversion, after his mother’s death, of another considerable sum. Early last year ho began to inquire why the principal due to him was not paid. His uncle then told him there were no assets to bis father’s credit, and never had been. On this, he admits, he wrote “ahominably-passionate” letters, and de manded to inspect the books. This was refused him, but a balance-sheet was sent to him, which was no evidence to bis mind, and did not bear the test of addition, being £40,000 out, on the evi dence of its own figures. This was his own tale, which might be all bosh for ought I could tell. Not being clever enough to distinguish truth front f.ittey by divination, I took a c l*, and went off to Doctors’ Commons, determined to bring some of the above to book. Well, gentlemen, I found the will, and I discov ered that my maniac had understated the interest he takes under it. I also found, as he told me I teoed for almost in vain ?

He threw himself on his knees before lier, wringing his hands in an uncontrollable agony of grief, the violence of which almost shook the majestic calmness she bad hitherto preserved. “Woe is me,” cried he, weeping bitterly, “that ever it should be my bard hap to carry back such heavy tidings to Scotland as that my good and gracious Queen and mistress has been beheaded in England.” “YVeep not, Melville, nty good and arms with a pair of crimson velvet sleeves.

She raised her hand as she concluded, and made the sign of the cross, to bless him in his absence, and her eyes overflowed with tears. “My God,” continued she, “forgive them that have thirsted for lay blood as the heart doth for the brooks of water. O God who art the author of truth, and the truth itself, thou knowest that I have always wished the union of England and Scotland;” One of the commissioners, doubtless the pitiless Earl of Kent, here interrupted her by reminding her“fhat the time was wearing apace." “Farewell,” she said, “good Melville.

She bowed herself on bis neck and wept; and, with like sensibility as her cousin. Lady Jane Grey, bad kissed and embraced F eckenham on the scaffold, so did she vouchsafe, as sovereign might, without disparagement to regal dignity, or departure from feminine reserve, the like affectionate farewell to that true subject who liad shared her prison, and was following her to death. She who had experienced the ingratitude of a Moray, a Lethington, and a Mar could well appreciate the faithful love of Andrew Melville. Another gentleman came to kiss Mary Stuart's hand, and bid her farewell on uqr way to elocution, with demonstrations of deep gespqct aud tender sympathy, together with qxpressiotis “of regret and indignation that her blood should be cruelly shed w hile under his reqf.” TICs was Sir YVil- liam, of Milton, who at tiiat time held Fotheringliay Castle on lease from the Crown. Of a very dif ferent spirit from Sir Amyas Paulet, this fine old Lnglish gentleman had shown the royal prisoner all the kind attention in his power. Mary tiianked him for his “gentle entreatment of her while in hie Louse,” and begged him “to accept, and keep as a memorial pf her grateful appreciation of his courtesy,the.portrait of the King her son, which he would find hanging at her bed's head, beinglier last remaining po&ssession that she had not bequeathed,' The procession proceeded in the following order; I irst came the sheriff and his men: next, Mary’s keepers. Sir Amyas Paulet and Sir Drue Drury, | the Earl of Kent and Be^lg: then the Earl of Shrewsbury, as Eari Marshal, bearing his baton raised, immediately preceding the Royal victim, who, having rallied all the energies of her cour ageous spirit to vanquish bodily infirmity, moved with a proud, firm stem. She was folllowed by Melville who bore her train, and lier two weeping ladies,.clad in mourning weeds. The rear was brought up by Bourgoigne, Gourion, and Gervais, her three tnedical attendants. A plfoffonn twelve feet square and two and a half Ligb..covered with black cloth, and surrounded with a rail, bad been erected at ttie upper end of the great banqueting hall at Fotheringliay, near the fire-place, in which, on account of the cold ness of the weather, a large fire was burning. On the scaffold were placed the block, the axe, a thaii - covered also with black cloth, for the Queen, with a cushion of crimson velvet before it. and two stools for the Earls of Kent and Shrewsbury. About one hundred geatleman who had been ad mitted to behold the mournful spectacle stood at the lower end of the hall; but the scaffold was barricaded, and a strong guard of the sheriff's and earl marshal’s men environed it to prevent the possibility of a rescue. The dignified composure and melaneholj - sweet ness of her countenance.in which the intellectual beauty of reflective middle age had superseded the charms that in youth had been celebrated by all the poets of France and Scotland, lier majestic and intrepid demeanor, made a profound inipris- sion upon every ope present when Mary Stilartand her sorrowful followers entered the ball of death i his duty as earl marshal, to give the signal for the ! coup dt-grace, but lie averted bis head at the same time, and covered his face with his hand to conceal his agitation and streaming tears A momentary j arid me thus: “One of these is insane-said to be. pause ensued, for the executioner s assistant per-1 Which is it?” Dr. Ri.ttle.lge took the problem ce.ved that the Queen, grasping the block firmly j mifr l, lv cooilv, sat down bv me first, with an ejo wuh both hands, was resting her chm upon them,J )ik ,, a -di am o'ud; it went 'slap into mv mr.rrow- a test to Dr. Rutledge, which it would hav on many accounts unwise to apply to a i ordinary skill.

Died at Poor House and Hospital’ Dying from Fright.—A young lady, the daugh ter of Mr. Haywood, a gardner of John Jacob Ystor. .ir , whos" country seat is at Esopus, N. \'.. was Knied oil 1 uesday under the following cir cumstances, as we find them related in the Rou- dont Courier: “The people of the section in which Mr. Astor lives, intended to have a pic-nic in the neighbor hood on YY’ednesday. To obtain some things needed at the pic-nic, it was necessary to send to Poughkeepsie ; so Mr. Astor sent a wagon to that cityT The wagon was driven by bis hired man, an Irishman; the governess of Mr. Astor's chil dren aud the daughter of his gardner accompan ied him. While they were at Poughkeepsie, the Irishman got drunk, and when they had crossed the river and were on their way home, he become unable to keep bis sear, and fell out of the wagon Tlio governess then took loud of the reins and drove on. The Irishman followed, begging to be allowed to get into the wagon. Tiie governess, after going a short distance, consented to stop the wagon aud allow him to get in. on condition that be would uot attempt to drive. Alter the man got in the wagon, he took up the whip and com menced plying it upon the horse. I he animal commenced going at high speed, and by some misdirection of it by by the governess, who held the reins, he turned suddenly aside, and partially upset the wagou. The Irishman and the gover ness (ell out; the other lady remained in the wag on, and was carried away rapidly by the frighten ed and ungraded horse. After she was carried a mile in this way, some one caught the horse aud ar rested his flight. The young woman, at this junc ture, requested him to take her out of the wagon, she was dying. He carried her into a house near, and was instantly taken care of; but in a few minutes she breathed her Inst. It is quite certain that she died from the effects of fright. She was .•oting lady, some 18 or 19 years of age. 1'lie Irishman, soon after this occurrence, went to the house of Mr. Astor, but he was not al lowed to remain, lie received an immediate dis charge from service. It was fortunate that lie did so : for the neighbors, as soon as they beard of the affair, went in search of him, determined if they could find him, to apply something like a lynching process to bis case. They looked about for him some time, but after learning that he had crossed the river and gone to parts unknown, they returned to their homes. Duel in Virginia. Richmond, Y r a . Sept. 17 1858.

Not long since, the story goes, they were both at the Warm Springs, and met in the public room of the hotel. They had been sitting with other company, and alter a while the doctor rose and walked across the room with the usual limp ol his gait. Mr. Orr immediately recognized him and asked him if he was not the Chaplain at the University of Y r irginia at such a time, naming the year. The Doctor re- p!*ed that he was. “1 was there," said Mr. Orr, “a student at the University, and I knew you bvyour limp.” “YY’ell,” said the Doctor, “ It seems my limp ing made a deeper impression on you than my preaching. The joke placed Mr. Orr in an awkward predic ament and most men would have been unable to extricate themselves, but he replied with ready wit— “Ah, Doctor, it is the highest complement we can pay a minister, to say that he is known by bis walk rather than than by his conversation.” Three Comets.—The Charleston Mercury, of the 22nd iust., says that three comets are now visible at early morning They rise and set as follow’s: Donati's.—Iu the constellation Ursa Major— r ; ses —3h. 16ui. a. m., North-east by North.

The Poet, tnmktedof Slander. | YY’liat a strange and xoandIons story it is that j we published yesterday about the old age of YY’al- ' ter .Savage Landor! He must be so old that one is almost afraid to talk about his age. Ho has been so famous a writer in bis time that it would have been pleasant to think of him, if still alive j as surrounded by iroops of friends who were smoothing the last furlong of his long pilgrimage. He should have outlived the ill-will of others, and the animosities of bis own heart. It is with un feigned reluctance that we perform the duty which has been cast upon us of saying a few words about the trial which took place at Bristol on Monday last, in which Mr. Landor was defendant. The result was that the old man has to pay £1,000 as damages, besides his liability for cost. Who can read the report ,of.the proceedings without saying that it served Liim right? Mr. Landor, as is sufficiently notorious, returned to England many years ago,,v.uery of ids Tuscan expatriation. He fixes himself ultimateJy at Bath. In that city im made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Y’escombe. The lady was the plaintiff in the recent action. Acquaintance ripened by de grees into friendship, or.at least into intimacy, and for many years Landor and the Y'eseombs were in constant, aimostin dailv intercourserindeed it appeared that Landor was in the habit of dining with them about three times a week. In their family there resided for some time a young lady, to whose name, .although it was mentioned at the trial, we have no wish to give additional publicity. For some cause, unexplawved, it was judged right that she should leave the Y’eseombs aud be re moved to Cheltenham .arid this it was which roused Mr Lander’s anger, and led to the publication of the libels. Omitting the dirt, here are & few’ of the the points charged against a Jady by YY’alter Sav age Landor: he said that she had been guilty of perjury; that he liad given her £ 18 to pay for him. and that she bad stolen half the money.; that she took £5 out of a letter which lie-had given her to put the said Mr. has at no period of his life life labored under insanity. “He has occasionally bad epileptic fits.

For the following sketch of the career of the fa mous American chess player, we are indebted to the kindness of one of his oldest and most intimate friends: Paul Morphy is a native of the city of New Or leans, and was educated at Spring Hill Cottage, near Mobile, Alabama. His father was born in Charleston, South Carolina, of Spanish parents, and became one of the most eminent Judges of the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana. Uni ted to a French Creole lady of the latter State, the subject of our sketch was born outlie 22d June, 1837; and at the early age often years, learned the moves of chess from his father, at his own earnest solicitation. The family of Morphy has long been known in tlie South and West ofthe Republic for the eminence of its members in the mysteries of Caissa; and foremost among them stood the uncle of our hero, Mr. Ernest Morphy.— I bis gentleman is of equal strength with Mr. Rousseau, ot New Orleans, who has,.for manv years, been a frequent visitor at the leading clubs ot London and the Continent, and whose presence we are again happy to welcome in Europe. At a very early age young, Taul had played some hun dred games with Ills unde, and " about half as many with Mr. Rousseau; almost al! the games to wards the last being won by their youthful oppo nent YY’hilst stilla mere boy, he played 30 games with Mr. James McConnel, winning all but one; and on the 22d and 25th of May, 1850 (tint yet 13 years of age,) he encountered the celebrated Hungat ion, Herr Loweutlial, the result being, in some measure no doubt owing to Mr L's under rating his young antagonist—Morphy, 2; Lowen- thal v; drawn, P It is not unfair to suppose that the desire to wipe out this defeat had something to do with Herr Lowenthal s challenging liis youthful victor in match now pending. For several years past, Mr, Morphy had only played with amateurcs, to whom he gave the,took or kniglit—odds in which, from his brilliant style of play, and probably no one living can surpass him. But the meeting of the first Congress of America Chess-player last year in New Y’ork offer ed a field for the display of his extraordinary powers arid bis visit to the Empire city was bailed w ith satisfaction by nearly all the leading athletes in the States. Comparatively little is know in England of the strength of American plavers.

Doug las and the black republicans are for the admission of the state at the next congress, if it comes there with a freestate constitution. They both stand upon the iame platform in this respeit and the only reason why any quarrell exists between them is because Douglas and Lincoln canuot agree which shall be the candidate of tiie united, amalgamated, concen trated party, for Senator Douglas wants to stay in office; bo has been twenty-five years in office of some king, and if he were to return to the charac ter of a private citizen he would be like a fish out of water. Lincoln “wants my place.” i. e. the place which Douglas claims as belonging to him. That is precisely all the difference between them ou this point. Let us try them oil another tack. The Admin istration democracy sustain ths Dred Scott decis ion iu its length and breadth, hightb and depth.— They accept it iu all its parts as an authoritative exposition of the fundamental laws of the land— Douglas and the black republicans disavow its most essential features. The latter make no pre tence of sustaining if, and the former only profess to uphold it, that lie may inflict a more fatal stab upon its principal provisions. Let once this senatorial question be decided by sending Douglas and Lincoln both into retirement and they will he found fighting together in I860 against the National Democracy. It is not too late for the National Democracy of Illinois to unite and defeat both of these factions. Our cause lias the sy mputliy o! a majority of the voters, if we can only concentrate them as they were accus tomed to be concentrated before Douglas’ time, iu a united democratic phalanx. Douglas has done a wonderful deal of mischief to the democratic party of the North-west during the few years he lias controlled it. but his reign is over. He has fallen to rise never again while tlio sun moon aud stars arc silent witnesses of bis treachery, continue in their orbits. The time is at hand when he will be as effectually deprived of political vitality as Sisera was of natural iifo when the nail of Gael lodged in his temple. Tltc Comet.—The comet is now visible in the North-west quarter of the heavens. It may bo readily found by directing the eye, at about fifteen minutes past seven, on any clear evening, to the North-western horizon, and ranging with the two stars known as the 1 Vinters—the comet being n- bout as far to the left of the pointers as the North Star is to their right.

The Woblest Task of Rian. The Salvation of Human Life. It is something to discover a new planet iu the heavens, a new island, a new race, and the Sybarite offered a prize for the discovery of a new enjoyment. But how immeasurably does even the best of these achievements fall short of the discovery and application of new and successful remedies for disease. This great and good work 1ms been accomplished by Professor Holloway, who has eclipsed nil ms predecessors and cotemporaries and ren dered himself the “foremost man of nil this world,” so far us medical science is concerned, by the invention and universal diffusion of his Pills and Ointment.— Whole nations have been at war, and destruction, in voked bv ambition and jenlousv, has deluged the earth with blood, this hero of pence has been fighting pain and suffering in every region with weapons not obtained from the arsenal but" the lnhoiatorv, and conquering them in every encounter. The loud hurrah that hails t he successful warrior lord of the stricken field, is worthless in comparison with the grateful penns of re covered multitudes, who have been restored to health and usefulness by these matchless curatives. To dwell indetuil upon their virtues is unnecessary, when there comes a voice from every laud between the outer circle and the centre of civilization, declaring them to be ab solute specifics for all internal and external disorder*.— [Boston Traveller.

Interesting Co Newspaper Propriet >rs.—One of the Courts of the State of Indiana recently made a decision which is ofinterest toall newspaper pro prietors throughout the Uiiion. A controversy exis ted relative to a charge for advertising between the Commissioners of Hamilton comity and tlve Pa triot newspaper. It was held by the Judge that "the published terms of newspapers constitute a cun- tract. If work is given to newspaper publishers, w ithout a special contract contravening the nub- lished terms, tho publisher ca.i charge and ri ceive according to the terms so published. It is not necessary to prove what the work cost or was worth; the publishers have a right to fix the esti mate value of their columns, and ifsofixed.no other question need be asked, but the price thus charged can be recovered.” Holloway’* Ointment and Pith. —Ixxikont for Coun terfeit*'.— These can always be detected by the absence of YY’ater-maiks, which appears iu every leaf of the genuine book of directions. Unless the words, “Hol loway, New Y’ork and London,” are visible in semi transparent letters in eacli page, the medicine they en velope is spurious. To deplete the system by bleeding aud violent purging, is to deprive life’s macliinery of its motive power.
