Abebst or Honaon Grxelet nr Paris.—
Horace Greeley was arrested in Paris, on the
2d of Jane, and kept in tha debtor's prison till
Monday, at tha instance of a French exhibitor
at the New York Crystal Palace, whose goods
bring broken and injured, thought proper to
sue for damages; the first director who presen
ted himself being Greeley, ha was arrested.
The suit was heard on tha 4th of Jane, when
Greeley was, of course, set at liberty. He is
frightfully wroth, and is arid to ba preparing
a document of toe most stirring sort for the
Tribune. His own aeeonnt will, of course, be
better worth eoppying than any other.
[From the N. Y. Evening Mirror.
Lug Diseases-Dr. Banter.
Our readers have, doubtless, all read the ae
ries of interesting letters contributed to the
Mirror, for some time past, by Dr. Robert Hun
ter, whose system of "Inhalation in too treat
ment of Diseases of the Chest”—though but
for a short time introduced to the American
public—has, by its uniform success, even in
cases pronounced incurable by other modes of
treatment secured a favor with the pobtie, and
the medical fraternity even, seldom vouchsafed
to an innovation on "Medical usages.” In
deed, we doubt if any greater revolution in the
treatment of a class of diseases, has ever occur
red in thisoountry.
To diseases of the longs and chest—consump
tion, bronchitis, Ac.,—the American people
bare a general and, it would seem, chronic in
clination. Whether it results must from care
lessness in dress, or in diet, or mainly from a
want of care in both, as wall as in habits of ex-
we cannot say—but wo know, from keep
ing an qye to the mortality bills, that long and
chest diseases are the ruling diseases of this
country. And wbat is more, they have, here
tofore, mainly baffled the skill of onr medical
faculty, tangbing tar-water, cod-liver oil, and
all it" sort of thing to acorn. The accession
of Dr. Hunter, therefore, to onr medical ranks,
with a system of practice that promises to re
does if not obliterate the triumphant power of
consumption and its cognates, is bailed with
more than satisfaction.
Dr. Hunter is a pbysition, who has ventured
into toe field with no less modesty than ability,
making no pretention that he was not justified
by sound argument and successful practice.—
Right hera* to oar midst, he has met toe ■'in
curables,” and restored them to pristine health.
He has so multiplied witnesses in bis behalf
that he might have rested on "testimonials,”
and been rare of practice to his heart’s content
But be has taken a broader and nobler view in
relation to his doty, as the institutorofa valua
ble new system in connexion with toe healing
art. He has desired not only to practice it
himnalfj hot to commend it to the medical fra
tornity, certain that, when their prejudices
should be overcome, they, too, would join with
him in its practice. He wished to serge the
poblieinthe largest way possible. Of coarse
we know nothing of the medicaments used by
Dr. Hnntor, nor can we discourse technically
upon bis mode of treatment; we only know that
by inhalation he reaches disease as it has nev
er before been reached, and that, to tha patient,
it has not only curative but at the same time
the most agreeable mode of treatment. Our
reader* have, however, been enlightened by Dr.
H/s letter* more than they would be by any
thing we could say. A very able article, or
summary of bis system, appears in toe March
nnmber of the American Medical Gazette, edi
ted by Dr. Meredith Reese. We have not space
here to copy this article, as we would like to
do, but is worthy of toe attention of every one.
In introducing the letter to his readers, Dr*
Reese says:
"We insert his (Dr. Hunter’s) letter with
pleasure, addressed as it is to the profession,
who will know how to appreciate it. It will
serve ns, moreover, as an answer to many of
onr distant subscribers who have written to ns
for information on the subject. They cannot
fall to discriminate between Dr. Hunter’s scien-
snd toe paltry ebariataotam of certain quacks,
whose grandiloquent advertisements of 'lung
vapor in packages,* Ae^ merit only contempt,
and whose employment of Inhalation is calcn.
lated to bring the practice into disrepute.”
The Herald says, in copying toe above men*
tioned letter;
"The article^* dear, well written end sensible,
and b addressed by Dr- Honter to bis brethren
of toe profession at large, as an explicit declar
ation of tfae principles on wbicb be practices
CuEtout Ttpographioal Error nt tm Bi
slx.—Prof. Trenoh, in hit tateat work on the
English language, points out a curious typo
graphical error in the 20th verse of the 23d
obapter of Matthew. The worde "which strain
at a goat and swallow a camel,'* the professor
thinks contain a misprint, whtoh having besn
passed over in the edition of 1611, has held its
ground ever sines. The translators intended
to say, "whloh strain out a gnat and swallow a
camel,” that bring tbs eorrect rendering of the
original, as appears in Tynsdsle’s and Gran
mar’s translations, both of whlob have "strain*
ed oat.” It was the custom of the stricter Jews
to strain thsir wine, vinegar, and other porta
bles, through linen or ganse, lest unaware!
they should drink down some little nnolesn in
sect as a gnat, and tons transgress the Levitioal
law. It was to this custom the Savior alluded
intending tosay that the Soribesand Pharisees,
while they strain out a gnat from their drink,
would yet swallow a camel at a gulp.
Editors in Court.—Mr. Sheriff, call Mr.
Howard of toe Atlanta Intelligencer.
A neat, well dressed gentleman, of fine ex
pre sion of countenance, indicating firmness and
intelligence, enters the oonrt-room.
"Call Britton of the Advertiser and Gazette.
"Here !” answers a tolerably good looking
fellow, with rather an impudent-air.
By permission of the public we shall eateehise
these gentlemen, in regard to too case of toe
people of the South vs. the Pierce Stock Job
bing Company.
"Mr. Howard, be good enough to give us your
attention. Are yon a Southern man ?
"Bone and gristle!” (This with toe air that
makes yon believe it)
Canyon inform us who is the Governor of
Kansas at the present time ?”
"Howard finsfaes ups little, and says that ha
cannot say with absolute certaioty.
"Pray give us your best impression on the
subject.”
"Well, sir, I believe—I fear—that Gov. Ree
der is still the Executive of that Territory.
"Ah, indeed!” Can yon tell, Mr. Howard,
who appointed Reeder to role over Kansas ?”
Brittain at this point begins to shuffle into a
corner, mattering very savagely. Mr. Howard
answers with a jerk:
"The Administration, sir!”
"The present able, constitutional, Democrat
ic Administration—is it?”
"The same, sir!”-
“Then, I suppose, Governor Reeder is a cor
rect exponent of the- principles and practice of
the administration, so far a* politics—and espe
cially the subject of stavety—is concerned V’
“Yon know he ain’t!” growls Britain.
Howard replies:
“He is not, in my opinion; and I beg to say
that only a short time since, I was assured by a
distinguished member of the administration,
that Reeder would be removed, and notauffered
to go back to Kansas.”
"Vety good. Mr. Brittain, yon say very em
phatically that Reeder is not a true exponent of
(he principles of the administration—pray, in
what does be fail to exhibit their views ?"
"He’s a d-d freesoiler, and imposed himself
on Pieroe. The administration, Hearn has for
ced him to resign f ”
"Ah. well wasn't toe administration forced
by the clamor of the South, to ask him to resign ?
Both Witnesses: “No! this constitutional
Democratic administration became satisfied that
e was a freesoiler and bad attempted to swin
dle the 8outh out of Kansas and told him, mere
motn. to walk the plank!” .
"Mr. Brittain, as yon hare some papers under
vonr arm. will yon be kind enough to examine
if you have any from New York, of the 26th
Jane, lost?*
"I have.”
"Any notice of Reeder, therein ?”
"I find,” says Brittain, actually blushing a
deep purple blush, '‘that Governor Reeder pass
ed through that city, en rente for Kansas, on
the 15th inst., accompanied by his private see
retary.”
“Then he hasn’t resigned nor isn’tremoved ?"
"Sposenot—but wbat the devil business have
you to do with whether this Democratic admin
istration removes Reeder or not—your’e no Dem.

"Holdon! Have yon heard any thing (*s
per correspondence of the Charleston Standard)
to the effect that bis associates, Judges John,
son and Elmore and Attorney General Isaacs,
will also be driven out, in order to place the
whole charge on toe absnrd pretence (as to
them) of “official speculation,” and to convince
the freesoilers that Reeder was not removed for
being a freesoiler?”
a "At this juncture, both editors hear a noise
in the street, and being afraid somebody will

empiricism, and bis rational diagnosis of all

continually parading toe names of LaFayette,
Montgomery, Pulaski, Koseinsko, DeKalb, Ba-

of liberty, came to this country and fought gal
lantly in the war of the Revolution. The mem
ory of these will be revered and their deeds re.
membered with gratitude as long as the Repub

names of tho few who fought for American lib-
srty—tbe right to think, to speak, and to act—
why don’t they tell us of the many who came to
this country and fought against American lib

of tha{gn thousand Hessians, who were not sub

A Word to Boy*.
Who is respected? It is the boy who eon.
duots himself well, who is honest, diligent, and
obedient in all things. It la the boy who is
making an effort continually to reepeet bis fa
ther, and to obey him, whatever be may direot
to bv done. It Is tbs boy who leaves no effort
untried to improve himself in knowledge and,
wisdom every day, who is busy and aetive In
endeavoring to do good acts towards others.—
Show me a boy who obeys bta parents, who is
diligent, who rospeots age, who always has a
friendly disposition, and who applies himself
diligently to get wisdom, and to do good towards
others; and, Tf he is not respeoted and beloved
by everybody, then, there is no such thing as
troth in this world. Remember this, boys, and
yon will be respected by others, and grow np
and become nsefal men.
A Yankee poet thus describes tbe excess of
his devotion to his tree love:
I sing her praise in poetry;
For her at morn and eve,
I ories whole pints of bitter tears,
And wipes them with my sleeve.

Latino in Liquor.—The New York Mirror,
says of toe approach of tbe day, the fourth of
July, on which the Law proposes to stop the
grog of toe New Yorkers :
As the day of doom to toe Liqnor Trade draws

Tax Beautiful.—Its realms are infinite, and
its reign is absolute. Reality and Ideality ac
knowledge its sovereignty, and meekly bow at
its throne. It is in the purest and noblest sen
timents that gush from the heart, and in the
inspiration of great thought. It hangs upon
the harp of poetry, and bursts forth from the
lips of eloquence. It is delineated on canvass,
and chiseled on marble* It is in the floating
clondlet, and in the "darkly bending wing of
tha tempest." It is in the little water-fall, and
in the thundering cataract. It is in the stare
that gem the "girdle of toe year," and in the
jewels in Flora’s orown. It sits upon a crimson
throne in the east at the dose of the day, and
dances with "rosy fingered Aurora” at the gates
of morning. Landscapes lie in the unbroken
forest, and beneath the dark rolling waves of
old ooean diamonds and pearls lie buried.—
Among the cragged rocks of the mountain,
woodbines and flowers grow, and down in too
black mud of the swamps toe beautiful face of
tbe lilly is seen. Wherever the eye turns, it
unfolds itself. Learning and science are keys
to its exhibitions. It is in the meekness of
Christianity; the hallelojahs and prayers
which go np as an incense to God. It is
in innocent chiihood, gay youth, grave man
hood, and helpless age. Heaven is the perfec
tion of the BeautifuL—Ex.

The old paradox about "beauty unadorned”
has much truth in it, and is very pointedly and

And she who meant no misohief, does it all I”
From tbe Texas Christian Advooats.
Tbe American Platform on Slavery,
Ths readers of the Advooate will find, In
onr Telegraphic intelligence, tha resolutions of
the recent American Convention at Philadelphia
on tfae subjeot of slavery. At tbe present
time—when we are threatened with civil war
in Kansas; when the Abolitionists arc succeed
ing in electing, in most of tbe Northern States,
Congressman pledged to the repeal of tbe Fu
gitive Slave law; when this whole array is also
pledged, not only to tbs repeal of tbe Nebraska-
Kansas BUI, but, also, to the prevention of the
admission into the Udlon of any more slave
States; and when, as all most see, their tncceae
would certainly resalt in a dissolution of the
Union, if not In civil war;—at suoh a time as
the present, such resolutions—embodying, as
thsy do, the only doctrines, on thU subjeot,
upon which this government can ever be ad
ministered, consistently with the Union of toe
Statee,—are of the deepest interest to every
true Christian and patriot, whether Northern
or Southern.
As a Christian journalist, we have nothing
to do with parties. Wo eare nothing for the
Whigs, Democrats, or Know-Nothings, as such.
But we do care for the integrity of the Union
of these 8tates. We do care for tbe welfare
of this great oonntry, given us by our Heaven
ly Father as a "heritage,” and now threatened
with ruin by a vandal fanaticism* We have
no more interest in the success of one party
than another; but we ore interested in tbeano-
cess of doctrines that will promote the peace
and harmony of our country; we are interested
in the otter ruling out of tbe slavery agitation,
whiob toe devil has incited the abolitionists to
throw, as an "apple of discord,” into onr midst;
and so are onr children, and onr ehildren’s
children, to toe latest generation. We are not
interested in parties; but we are interested in
the principles; and no party ongbt to be sup
ported by any national man, North or South,
that does not openly, unequivocally, and boldly,
take ground against tbe slavery agitation, and
in favor of the existing laws and compromises
on that subject
We have no opinion to express in reference
to other doctrines of this, or any other party:
and we do not approve these doctrines because
of the source from which they emanate. We
approve them because they are right and true,
and good; and because they are calculated to
save our country, and too cause of God in our
country, from great injury, if not from destine-
tion. We should approve them with equal
heartiness if they emanated from either of the
other parties; indeed we earnestly hope they
also Twill adopt them. We do not speak as a

It is time for the people of these United
States to learn, that the North and the South
never can, and never wiU agree on this subject,
and that toe only hope of peace is—to let the
whole subject alone, as these insolations de
termine—to let both slavery and free-soilism
have an eqnal ohanee in the settlement of onr
new territories, and to let new States come into
the Union, with slavery or anti-slavery const!*
tations, as they may desire. This is all toe
South has ever asked for. and this she will have,

nothing hut She sheerest tyranny and injustice

"OFT IN THE STILL NIGHT.”
That plaintive song, It thrills my son!,
With wild, with tad delight!
And makes my pulse more qniokly beat—
Ob, aing It o’er to night
Nay, smile not at my sadness now,
Nor at too falling tsar;
*Twaa snug to me in days long past,
By one I loved most dear.
Bach note b twined about my heart,
Like ivy round the trees;
When struch they move eaek fibre there,
Like leaves moved by tbe breeze.
So very sad, and yet so sweefa
And dearer far than life,
>be memories they bring to me
With love-lit pleasnre rife.
Love leaves a sadness when ’tie past,
Its meaning who can tell?
Tho’ sad, we treasure it with eare —
A holy, magie spell.
Tbe soft, low strain yon sang to me
Has touched life’s tenderest chord;
’Tie to this troubled heart of mine
Like healing waters poured,
It falls as early whispering dew
Falla on thq drooping flower,
And sends new life into my soul 1
Oh, sing it yet once more!

Douglas Jerrold's opinion of the Aner-
ican Partt.—In the columns of Lloyd’s
Weekly Review, edited by Douglas Jerrold,
one of toe ablest writers of the age, we found
the following interesting article. He says:
Parties are many in America. They rise
like mushrooms and fade like mist Every
Presidential election brings a crop of them
they rage for a day—are heard of for a week—
and forgotten in a month. Such are tbe Sew.
ards and tbe Fillmoroites—the Hards tbe Softs,
and many more. These come np with certain
men, and fall ontof right when the men do so
other parties remain—like toe Free-soilers and
Pro-slavers, because they represent ideas—per-
smify conflicts—which are Tpermanett on the
American soil.
Most of these parti** are well known in Eng
land, and they are all worth studying; for the
politics of America are the politics of the fu
ture. As toe French diplomatist observed tbe
other day, L’Avier set Anglo-Saxon.

olutions is toe refosal to express an opinion as
to whether or not Congress ha* tbe right to
legislate on slavery in toe Territories. This,
we think an inconsistency, though, there may
have been good reason for it The resolutions
as a whole, however, are as unequivocally sound
as they could possibly be. From the palpable
abolitionism of toe Northern wing of this party,
as manifested in the recent elections, we had
lost all faith in their adoption of such national
and conservative ground. As to the troth or
falsehood of tne charges made against it in
reference to other things, we know nothing;
known as the Know Nothing party—a name
whioh the party accepts in tbe large spirit of
contempt in which the Puritans received their
hietorical designation. All things considered,
the Know Nothings are the most impressive
development of American life.—Hitherto, A-
merica has been a refuge for tbe outcast of ail
nations—the home of all who fled from debt,
from tyranny, from starvation, from justice.
It has received all—rejected none. This was
grand experiment—bat has only partially
succeeded.

important national question of the day. sions and bad habits; and as ail were admitted
i to political power—to vote at elections—public
men had to stoop to their baseness to get sup
port; and hence a lower style of public morals
became too rale in large towns.—The Know
Nothing* who comprise toe most intellectual
and prosperous men of the American Democra
cy—say this evil mnst be stayed. Their cry is,
"America for the Americans!”—And surely this
cry is reasonable as "Italy for the Italians,”
or "Hungary for the Hungarians.” The new
party ta a protest against Irish political profli
gacy, and against Jesuit influence in America.
They seek to deprive the immigrant hordes of
the means of mischief. Their motto ta " Pro
tection to all,—Power to the American born.”
A Jollt Life.—Insects, generally, must
lead a truly jovial life. Think what it mnst be
to lodge in a lily. Imagine a palace ofivory
or pearl, with pillars of silver, and capitals of ]
gold, all exhailing each a perfume as never
arose from hnman censer. Fancy, again, the
fun of tucking yonrself np for the night in tbe
folds of a rose, rocked to sleep by the gentle
sighs ;of smntner air, nothing to do when yon
awake bnt to wash yourself in a dew drop, and
fall to and eat yonrbed clothes 1

The allusion to the Nashville Convention
suggests to ns to enquire, what has become of
the Nashville Convention men in Georgia.
Have they died out—left toe State—concealed
themselves in some cave, or have they, for the
sake of spoils, changed their principles? Can
anybody tell?—We think H probable, if one
coaid be found, his raae for the spoils has so
metamorphosed him, that he could not be iden
tified by any single prinoiplo, save his thirst
for the " pnblie plunder.” We repeat, where

squirrel and a robin. The squirrel ascended
an apple tree, with felonious intent and malice
aforethought, for the purpose of sucking the
eggs of a Robin that had built her nest there.
Fortunately, Mrs. Redbreast was upon tbe nest
at the the time, and sustained with valor the at
tack of her fonr.fuoted assailant, and Mr. Squir
rel soon found that he had rashly assanlted a
perfect Sevastopol of a bird's neat, defended
by a foe more terriblo to him than would be
the forces of tbe whole combined Russian Ar
my. In the fierce battle which occurred he was
sadly scratched and beaten, and at length re
tired in disgust and shame from the tree. This
squirrel was one of the striped variety—a ple
beian "chip-monk,” as a country schoolmaster
would say—and probably no sentiments of
ohivnlry or refinement had ever been instilled
into hta ignoble mind.

The Administration condemned by Dem
ocrats.
At a meeting of the National Democrats of
New York, Wednesday last, the following reso
lution was adopted:
Resolved, That we reiterate onr oplnfon for
merly expressed, tost to the course of the pres
ent Administration are due all the disasters and
defeats which toe Democrstie party has expe
rienced for the past two years; that the Ad
ministration baa insulted and outraged the
great national sentiment of the' American peo
ple, and tbat tbe only safety of tbe Democracy
and of toe whole oonntry now lies in an un
conditional repudiation of toe Administration,
in toe nomination for President by the next
National Democratic Convention of rom< sonnd
national man well known to and confided in by
the eoontry as suqh, and in the adoption of a
platform which shall famish farther guarantees
of toe rights and interests of every portion of
the Union, and which shall resist the aggress
ions of Northern sectionalism upon the rijebt*
of tbs Sooth and restore tranquility to the whole
nation.
Daniel S. Dickinson was unable to attend
the meeting, but sent a letter, in whieh he says
there never was a time when tbe return of the
party to power was more necessary for the wel
fare of the country, " from toe time the Presi
dential Chair wa* filled by Washington to ths
time it became vacant by the occupation of tits
present incumbent.” That ta what may be call
ed severe, especially as it comt* from a national
Democrat, a friend to the Sonth. And yet the

But farther: The Democrats of Maine held,
their State Convention last week, aod notnina*

their candidate of last year, declined a renomi
nation.—The Convention, according to ths
Portland Advertiser, encountered eomedfficnlty
in passing a resolution endorsing toe present
Administration for its adhesion to the ancient
landmarks of toe Democratic party. To this
resolution tbe chairman of the committee dis
sented, as implying an indorsement of the Mis
souri compromise. After several speeches bsd
been made, an amendment was adopted as fol
lows : " It being understood that this resolution
ta expressive of no opinion ntfon the repeal Of
the Missouri compromise.” The resolution was
then passed.
In January last, the State convention of ths
Pierce psrty in Ohio adopted the following ret-
elution: Savannah Republican.
Resolved, That the people of Ohio now, u
they have always done, look upon slavery as

Opening Letters nr the Mail.— Postmaster
General Campbell was applied to recently fay
the Postmaster at York, Pa., to know whether

lice authorities, in order that the money contain
ed therein might he identified as the same as
that passed by tbe prisoner, and that tons far
ther evidence might be famished to aid In hta
convietsion and punishment. The Postmaster
General replied, emphatically, faaths could not;
that he had no right, nor any officer under him,
to open any letter until it reached the Dead Let
ter office, and ‘that this principle mnst be al
ways acted upon by those in the employment of
the Department Judge Hall, of New York,
formerly Postmaster General, gave a decision a
few days ago that a letter in the mails oould net
be opened under any circumstances.

bu?. He was prematurely gray, his eye had
lost its fire; his form its manly grace; he was
a victim of intemperance. He advanced to
meet us with ao unsteady step and grasped onr
hand with the cordiality of Lang Syne, bnt hta
hand was hot with the liquid fire that preyed
upon his vitals. Looking ns in the face, tears

A most Melancholy Catastrophe.—Wo
fiind the following pathetic paragraph in the
Baltimore Sun:
Yesterday morning, about four o’clock, P. M.,
a small man named Jones, or Brown, or Smith,
with a heel in the hole of hta trowsere, com*
mitted arsenic by swallowing a dose of snlolde.
The verdict of the inquest returned a jury that
the deoeased came to hta fact in accordance to
his death. He leaves a child and six small
wives to lament the loss of his untimely end.
In death we are in the midst of life.
As tho fly that plays about the candle doth of.
ten burn his wings at last, so the Christian that
parleys with temptation, is in danger of having
the wings of his soul shortened to rise again to
ward heaven till God shall give him renewed af*
fections.
It Is a law which God himself has made, that
the arrow whioh is shot from the persecutor’s
bow shall rebound and pierce the persecutor's
heart.
A man will be what his most oherisbed feel*
ings are. If he enoourages a noble generosity,
every feeling will be enriched by it; if he
nuns bitter and envenomed thoughts, hta ewm
spirit will absorb tfae poison; and he will emwt
among men as a burnished adder, wheee life b
misohief, and whose errand is death.
Cuban Junta.—The N. Y. Sun asserts that
many of the chief men of the fillibnster party
have swindled tho Cabans out of all the money
sent to this country for the purpose of equipping
the expedition. Very grave charges are made
against Gen. Quitman, as a participant In this
nefarious transaction. We do not donbt, how
ever, that tho old soldier may he able entirely
to explain away any suspicions resting upon bis
conduct.
