tiathms In lee Water.
“ Cleanliness is tne next thing to Godliness.”
We Americans begin at length to believe this good
\ N w-a-days the gentleman who
builds a house for himself or to rent to others
MnUaa , think of dispensing with a parlor
or a front door as with a bath room. See at what
cost pure water is supplied to all our great cities,
and how bathing houses for public and the poor
begin to multiple. The American nnnd is keenly
alive to the fact that a clean skin, a clean con
science, fresh air, a plentv of agreeable work, a
sound stomach, aud a lull pocket, constitute all,
or nearlv aii, the esseutial elements of happiness,
here be tow, and e • far towards securing happiness
hereafter.
Perhaps we d > not carry matters so far as Mr.
Walk*’, the hvgvian liumorist, who, alter a
thor.u.g i course id baihiug, declared that
: , wit m deu that no impurity
•bon d s ick t - it, and maintained that it was
an absirditv to wash a face or a body that
Ml . : . -,-v always clean. Still we hare all
become or less converted to the doctrine of
pmvu. al hvdn path v at home, trusting less to “wa
tcr cur» >, «n a u iied • >.««/<?/, upon the system
: Pncuiti tl in to the daily application of water,
: i, i the wfa le peraon, and under the di
rect n fno d wti r hut our own common sense.
Os the hundreds and thousands of Americans who
accord to water ml the virtues claimed for it, the
aa i'-.-v incline t • water an natural, in preference
i wa cr heated, or at all medicated. It is also well
understood that the use of cold water must be
adapted to the strength <>! the constitution, and its
capacitv to react upon the shock occasioned by its
application. With this restriction, it is generally
t< d hat c id water ts beneficial alike to old and
v ur.g. tr i! the newly born infant to the “lean and
. i pun s' n,' sans teeth, sans eyes, sans
erervtbing
\ ery n-cently an entirely new doctrine has been
or. a. hed, and one of much importance. An anony
n,,iu writer in the last number of the Demx'ratn
Aft, contends that c Id water is good enough in
ts way. but that the edects of icc water upon the
drb iitated sistetn are peculiar, and not only pe
culiar still than ice water
is the ice itself, melted upon the naked person
when •: - strong enough to bear it. He
goes so f*r as to say “that ice, well used, would
prove not exactly the physical regeneration or
•, s- a the world, yet it would come very
near it.”
The wr ; • beyond question, a man of ability,
a t.-rarv i,.n. but no mere scribbler, a man ot
the wond. a t ghty hunter and fisherman, a prac
ncai nan, » • bases his conclusions, not upon
c. -set s i' ns, but upon his own personal,
b: g continued exj>erience. Attacked with pueu
n. s is. s» <*d. In k<u down in constitution,
.rrag - from the lungs, digestion
votw.iy c.. ranged, rheumatic aud neuralgic, he tried
n x-ata the remedies prescribed by American
p.hyso .at.s, t.. effects of foreign travel, the most
-md v. '. a: i the in st careful and systematic
Has ts ill. The most learned physicians of
L r.d r. Gen ... Miian, Florence, l'isa, and Rome,
could do him no good.
h,. ,: st St tl aards restoration began with the
Mol -oath of cold water, immediately'
«”er cetouc out ■ f bod. After trying this for ;
some time, with only a moderate degree of benefit, :
be became ‘V -nvioced by a close chemical analy- !
s> : cc. that it intained «nhin itself a power
0f in ;:g ;-hvs;. J vitality possessed by noth
ing r s i»> ginning with a lump of ice the size
,-fa walnut, in a bowl of water, he increased the
eiuant tv until a' ienjth he melted five or six
pounds'of ice upon his bodv every morning.
This i.'t.e lump of ice had a new effect—some
thing that cold water never produced—and the ul- j
titrate resi:lt was indeed marvelous. He gained
suit v-r.ve pounds of tiesb, was restored not only to
i-erlec: health, but to a slate of vigorous energy, |
pbva-.ca. UMigfh, vital power, unwasting glow of
- and an ability to endure any amount of
fatigue and exposure with apparent impunity. His
description of his present condition is ravishing, j
Ctbr.'ken sleep, perfect control of his nervous •
system, mind always serene and cheerful, muscles
firm and hi rJ, no consciousness of the existence
of his internal organs, ability to do with half the
sleep he formerly.required, appetite always good,
digestion perfect, no taste whatever for unhealthy
food; in short, a super-natural state of mind and
body, in which “every moment of his waking ex
istence seems to be consciousness of physical, in
teiiectual, moral and social happiness.” ' And all
this is due, under Providence, not to cold water,
but to ice mainly and chiefly.
Os course, the writer has his theory about the
chemical nature of ice—theory which wearefnmk
to say we do not understand. He talks about ice
containing “electric heat,” laughs at Ihe chemists
who laugh at him, and discusses the aurora bore
alis as dependent upon the electric heat confined in
end emanating from the vait tee fields of the Arctic
zone. \V ith all this we have nothing to do; it may
be *r may not be so. The important fact is, that
ttiere seems to be some extraordinary curative
property in ice when applied to the human ski*, il
lustrated not only in the writer’s case, but in the
case of many friends to whom he gave the advice —
“ try the ice.”
Especially is the case adapted to “nervous, pale,
lean, sallow, dyspeptic, tobacco-using, excess-in
dulging, authors, writers, teachers, and intellectual
men of all qualities.” To these the writer pro
mises that the use of ice, first melted in water, and
then applied in the solid cake to the person, will
bring unwonted power of mina and body, constant
cheerfulness, a power of moral control, “a blessed
clearness of thought, absence of all nervousness,
in fine, an ability to “ walk further, stand up long
er, work harder, and do everything better than
they could do it before.” “Existence will grow
brighter, and the flame of life will burn with more
calmness, security, glow and splendor, than you
ever dreamed of.”
This may be all enthusiasm, the writer’s case
may be exceptional, the ice cure may not suit
everybody, but the experiment may be made with
out injury. “Try the ice.”— Baltimore American.
From the Washington . States , May 2d.
A Pair of Diplomats.
It is reported in the New York journals that the
individual familiarly known to the public as “the
Chevalier Wyknff,” has been selected to return our
treaty with China to the capital of that empire. Be
sides the confidence implied in this trust, we be
lieve government pays eight dollars a day and ex
penses, for the service. “ A very nice appoint
ment,” the Chevalier may well exclaim.
Os course Mr. Buchanan is free to employ what
ever agents he may piease in the administration of
government. On bur part we claim the liberty to
protest against such appointments as are discredit
able to the character of the couutrv.
This Wykoflf is a notorious vagabond. If we
accept his own version of his exploits, he is about
as respectable as the persons whose portraits adorn
the ante chamber of the chief of police. He is a
“confidence man;” and he only differs from his
associates by his pre-eminence in the profession.
For years he has been peddling his pretensions
among the courts of Europe. It is his boast that
Palmerston once employed him to do the dirty
work of the British government. The utter profli
gacy of his character is well illustrated in the fact
that he turned the details of a penal imprisonment
into a money-making publication. Is such an in
dividual a fit representative of this government on
the theatre of his infamous exploits ? We know
very well what reply the Senate would return to
this inquiry, if they were allowed an opportunity
of pronouncing on the propriety of the Chevalier
Wykoff’s appointment.
But the chevalier is not alone in his glory.
Somewhat among the pimps and panders of Euro
pean prostitution he will encounter a worthy asso
ciate in the person of Francis J. Grund. This man
also boasts a commission from the Government of
the United States. The precise grade of his em
ployment has not transpired—the only certain fact
being that his service is such as will not require
the ratification of his appointment by the Senate.
There is a whisper that he reports on the conduct
of our ministers in Europe ; and the rapidity of his
movements among the continental capitals gives
color to the suspicion. Grund is no better than
Wykoflf; he is rather the more consummate villain
in proportion to his superior ability. Jeff Davis
drew his portrait hv a single stroke, characterising
bun as “ the basest Hessian of them all.”
If the thought were not too repulsive, we might
well imagine the excess of profligacy in which
these representatives of the great Republic will
indulge, at the expense of government, and to the
deplorable discredit of the national character.
Perhaps after all they are not in the employment
of the Administration. May we expect the organ
to inform an indignant public, if the patronage of
government has been so shamefully abused ? Noth
ing would give us greater pleasure than to relieve
a Democratic Executive of the infamous associa
tion.

lar remedies of the day. That it will cure liter complaint,
sick head ache, and dyspepsia, is now beyond a doubt. Read
♦ riiiAwinor tp S t!numv from a well known may and gentle
man of our own city :
New York, August 3, 1851.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams, No. 248 Seventh street, testify that
they have both been suffering with the Liver Complaint, for
about five years, during which time they have spent a large
amount of money and tried many remedies, but to no purpose.
Finally, hearing of Dr. M’Lane’s Pills, prepared by Fleming
Bros,, they purchased four boxes, which they took according
to the directions accompanying each box, and now pronounce
themselves perfect ly cured of that distressing disease.

A Great Remedy for Summer Complaints.—
To all who are troubled with bowel, stomach and summer
complaint, we would recommend Dr. Sanford's LIVER IN
VIGGRATOU, as an article that can be relied on asa speedy,
sure and effiacious cure. Its action is to remove the cause of
the disease in place of checking it without giving a permanent
benefit. The IN VIGOR A TOR, though a gentle cathartic,
w ill Instantly check the most violent Diarrhoea, until some
eighteen hours afterwards, when the cause of the complaint is
carried away, and no more discharges follow.
Dysentery in its worst form rarely ever fails to yield to treat
ment of the Invigorator, when taken often till the discharges
are checked, and rarely ever will there be any further dis
charges, after taking a regular dose, til tne operation ot the
medicine, which almost invariably checks the disease, and
ures the patient. Should one dose not give relief, there will
be no danger in taking a second or third till relief is found.

of Couchs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough,
Asthma, and Consumption, is umve;sally known as the best
remedy ever yet discovered for every variety of Pulmonary
disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so numer
ous the cases of its cures, that almost every section of the
country abounds In persons uublicly known, who have been
restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by it& use. When once tried, it* superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observa
tion, and where its virtues are known, the public no logger
hesitate what antidote to employ for tlxe distressing and dan
gerous affections of the pulmonary organs, which are incident
to our climate. By its timely u e many, nay almost any at
tacks of disease upon the Lungs or throat, are arrested, and
thus are saved many thousands every year from a premature
grave. No family should he without it, and those who do
neglect to provide themselves with a remedy which warus off
tliis dangerous class of diseases, will have cause to deplore it
when it is too late. Proofs of the surprising efficacy of the
