It up that a lady of the Crescent City had id ami received an artificial leg from anufucturer costing $250, and after declined paying for the same. The had a writ issued, requiring the fto take the leg into his possession, rentlemnn gave his Deputy the disa ble job, and the latter functionary, iome trouble, obtained the litigated and is now in the Sheriff’s office. Let as Alone and mind your own Business. In reply to this exhortation of liquoi dealers, Dr. Burns, of England, says : I cannot let the traffic alone. I have never sold, bought, given, tasted, or re commended, or sanctioned it in one form or another. And yet, sir, this traffic won t let me alone. It attacks my pocket. — Who pays the increased tax of drunken ness ? The sober and the virtuous. And it is a shame that the whole community should be taxed for one class. I know some persons have said, “why don’t you let our traffic alone ? We don’t interfere w'th you —you may go on with your teetotal speeches, only don’t come out in this pro hibition law manner.” I might say in re ply, “if you let me alone, 1 might be tempted to let you alone ; but unfortunate ly you won’t.” And where is a man in the country who has his ej r es to see and ears to hear, and a heart to feel, and bow els to yearn, and sympathise with moral wretchedness, that must not be disturbed beyond utterance every day at the calami ties produced by the strong drink traffic? It moves me in every power of ray mind. It distresses every emotion of my soul. — Am Ia man, and can I see the manhood of my fellow’ creatures annihilated out of them ? Am Ia Christian, and can I see the mouth of hell gorged with drunken victims ? Is not every man in the com munity iny brother? is not the drunkard my brother? (Loud cheers.) That degra ded wife of bis is my sister; those orphans have a claim upon my sympathies; and I do not deserve the name of a man —I should be put down as a monster —if I were not shocked, and distressed, and grieved, and pained and martyred by this traffic. — Therefore, though I am a teetotaller, and have no connection with the drinking hab its of the country, I suffer in body, pock et mind and conscience, and all the powers of my soul, by this evil and destructive thing. Stick to One Thing. “I have found a gold mine,” said an old man to his sons, a gold mine richer than California. “Where is it?” they asked, eag rly. “It is in these four words,” lie answered; “stick to one thing.” The old man was right. More persons are mined by despairing too soon in busi ness, and changing to something else, than by almost any other error in life. One of the first essentials for success in any pur suit, is to have a perfect understanding of it. Every year, nay, every day, adds to one’s capacity in this respect, so that, all things else being equal, he who has been longest of a business is sure to have the advantage over his rivals. A good carpen ter would make but a sorry mechanist, and a first-rate farmer hut an indifferent me chanic, The difference between the old merchant and the young beginner is less in intellectual capacity than in any supe rior experience. The grey-headed lawyer excells the new-fledged student in many things, it is true, hut principally in the store of well digested cases at his com mand. Wellington won Waterloo in a great measure, because he bad served an apprenticeship in fighting the French, for seven years, in the Peninsula. To be chang ing one’s calling frequently is always to be learning anew alphabet. Keep r<> one language. Stick to one thing. If there is such an affair as luck, perse verance is sure to win at last, for the chan ces cannot forever run against a man. — Backgammon players know that it is im possible to throw double aces all the time. Fortune tires of persecuting those who bear up bravely against her assaults.— Washington, when he discovered the su perior discipline of the royal troops, deter mined to carry on the war with the spade that is, to act entirely on the defensive until his soldiers could be traine i to man oeuvre in face of the enemy without falling into disorder ; and to this resolution—to which be adhered for years, in spit** of the clamors of the factious, and even of the advice of Congress—we probably owe our independence. He choses the Fabian line of policy as best suited to his condition, and by steadily following it, triumphed at. last. Like him, select your line of policy and keep to it. Stick to one tiling. In all ages and countries the idle weav er has been considered a traitor or a fool. That one ‘cannot carry water on both shoul ders’ has passed into a proverb. Needless ly to change friends, party or religion is to lose the confidence of one’s follow men. “Be sure you are right,” as Crockett said, “then go ahead.” Or, as we have phrased it—“stick to one thing.” —■ Sours or Acids. The sourness of the juices of a lemon ami the acidity of vinegar are so well known, that the mere mention of them is sufficient to convey a knowledge of the chiet qualities of sours or acids in their nat ural state. There are so many acids that two or three pages of an index to a chem ical book are taken up to enumerate them. Every fruit contains an acid; nearly all the metals are capable of forming acids.— When coal, wood, paper, rags, charcoal, brimstone, phosphorus, and many other substances are burned acids are produced. A Hint stone is an acid. There is an acid in our window glass, and in many of the most costly precious stones. Tlu; air we breathe contains an acid. We create an acid in the lungs by the act ot breathing.— By a very slight change sugar can be eon veited into oxalic, acid, which is a strong poison. Sugar, by another change is con verted into vinegar. These two illustra tions show that a sweet can he converted into a som, but when sour fruit sweet it proves almost to demonstration that a sour can become a sweet acid. The most powerful acid is that derived from burning sulphur. It is called sulphu ric acid, and is one of the most important articles of manufacture. Its acidity is so great that a tea-spoonful is sufficient to make a pailful of water quite sour. Nitric acid, obtained from nitre or saltpetree, is of the next importance in the arts, it is so corrosive that it has been distinguish ed by the name of aqua jortis, that is strong water —strong, sure enough, for a nrdle of iron, lead, or silver, in it like sugar placed in water. From The number of acids which we find in nature, and the tendency of many artificial substances to become sour it is evident that acids Bnd sours are essential to our well being.— Acids assume all forms and colors; some are liquids, some gaseous, others solid. — The acids of fruits when separated from the grosser particles that accompany them are very beautiful and ehrystalizable sub stances. By the ingenuity of the chemist, the sour of unripe apples, grapes, tama rinds, lemons, tfec., may be chryetalized into beautiful snow white bodies, which; however, when touched by the tongue, at once indicate their origin by their flavor. — Septimus Pi esse.

Stephens will please accept our thanks for a copy of his Speech, delivered in Con gress on the 31st of July last. —- W e return our thanks to Mrs. B. M. Sanders for a charmingly beautiful boquet of flowers. They were none the less acceptable that they could only be smelled or looked at, not eaten. Public Opinion. “The voice of the people is the voice of God,” is au old sentence, the pointed brevity of which has struck, and its sophistry deluded many generations. That the people cannot err is as false an idea as the transatlantic doctrine that ‘ the king can do no wrong.’ It is right enough that a mere shadow of royalty, the possessor of the semblance without the substance of power, should be free from responsibility as he is incapable of influence. But this notion of the infal libility of public opinion dethrones Deity himself, and clothes that nondescript character, the populace, in robes of immaculate purity. If the erroneousness of such an idea required an exposition, we have a practical demonstration of it continually before us. How many antagonistic systems are there now in the world, all of which are supported by public opinion, and are consequently emanations of the Divine Mind? That nations are less subject than individuals to mistakes and misapprehensions, is a proposition which we readily admit. That they frequently cling to errors with a fanatical bigotiy unknown to individuals, is a fact which no one at all conversant with history will deny. The history of the past is a history of nations, not of individuals If here and therq a personage rises high above the common mass, it is only because he has so far made his impress upon the age, as to be considered the impersonation of popular sentiment. And what does this history present but a dark record of vice, crime, wickedness, error, bigotiy, and fanaticism. One generation rises up to condemn the faults of the preceding, yet be comes itself no more holy than the condemned.— Men frequently, with all confidence, leave the merits of their actions and characters to be decided by the voice of public opinion. This may be known to day; to-morrow, it may be not only something very dif ferent, but perhaps entirely antagonistic. It is as variable and unaccountable in its phase as the dic tates of fashion; or, rather, fashion is only a tangi ble illustration of what public opinion is in every instance. Like every thing else controled by caprice, public opinion is exacting and oppressive in its rule. So ciety lays a claim to inflallibility, which, however much at variance with reason, is one which it never resigns. Before this idol, every man is required to bow down, and he who dares to disobey has to pass an ordeal more dreadful than the sevenfold heated furnace of Babel’s king. The racks and fires, and all the infernal machinery of the Spanish Inquisition are trifling when compared with the tortures of this fell tyrant. They are aimed at, and injure only the body—the mind they cannot harm. The mind has gone undisturbed through the fires of Smithfield, and ascended with calm serenity to the deadly guil lotine. But when man contends with public opin ion, it is a moral conflict, and every stroke aims di rectly at his mental peace and happiness. There is a fate more piteous than that of the Siberian exile, a tyranny more oppressive than that of Russia or Turkey, a slavery more degrading than that seen in the darkest regions of Africa. It is when every sen timent of the heart, every principle of the man, is locked in by the triple hands of public opinion, and the poor soul dares not, if it could be free. “Follow not the multitude to do evil,” is the rule of action prescribed by the Highest of Law-givers; yet how few there be who yield this an unreserved obedience. Tlow many might adopt the language of the ancient “I know the right, and 1 approve it too, condemn the wrong, and yet that wrong pursue. That high-toned moral courage which prompts a man to follow the dictates of his conscience, in open defiance of public opinion, is a quality very rarely found. Rather than this, men will freq ently pur sue a course, winch they are aware will bring them to ruin and death. They yiold to men in every point their inferiors, and fall from positions which they have taken in the calmness of their judgments, without one adverse reason having been brought to bear upon them. It is thus that some of the most brilliant intellects which the world has ever seen, have been stri; t of their powers, and lost in the darkness of an endless night. If you wish for a happiness of intrinsic worth, a peace of mind which the world cannot give or take away, you must think, decide, and act for your self. Bow not in servile reverence to the dictates of public opinion. In this way you may hope to form the stamina of an independent character, to arrive at the stature of a perfect man. But there is a high er reason even than this. When you come before “the Judge of all the earth,” you must stand or fall upon your individual merits, and your simple apol ogy, “I did it because others did,” will be no pallia tion of your guilt. * Interesting and Instructive. If yon wish to acquire enlarged and comprehen sive views on all subjects, take your seat before the door of a Village grocer}', with the crowd of idlers who daily assemble there, for the purpose of social enjoyment. The meeting is not one of castes; so you need have no fears on that point. You will find there lawyers, doctors, merchants, farmers, and va rious other classes whose vocations are either sine cure, or they expedite their business so much as al ways to have an abundance of leisure. Yon need en tertain no doubt that you will bd instructed and benefited. Each one professes to know everything, and it would be a great insult were you to hesitate in believing it. Should one of them express his own ignorance upon any point, it would be considered a fault for which nothing but drinking half a gallon a day could ever expiate. Being thus introduced to this council of sages, prepare yours If to learn valu able lessons of wisdom. The topic under consideration as you enter is the all-engrossing one of politics. They seem quite ani mated, several talking at a time, and you readily sup pose they are engaged in a discussion. But you mis take. You soon find that each excited combatant is making furious strokes at the air, under the delu sion that he is dealing deadly blows upon his antag onist. You are fully convinced however, that were such an intimate knowledge of public aflfeirs to be found among governmental officers, there would exist quite a different state of things. You almost regret for the moment, that these worthy wights are not Congressmen, forgetting that they are but hmnble types of three-fourths of that august body, when reeking with the hellish fumes of the Washington Liquor Saloons. The topic changes, and they enter upon a subject entirely different, with which they seem equally con versant. Religion now becomes the theme of their discourse, though treated as would seem to a stran ger, fn a rather irreligious manner. They condemn bigotry and fanaticism in all their forms, and very modestly confess themselves far more pure in heart and upright in intention, than the hollow-priest craft which holds its reign in the temples of the Most High. The tenets and doctrines of all sects pass under their notice, receiving the due amount of stricture or condemnation. Their spirit of belief wanders forth, but like the Dove that was sent from j the Ark, it finds no spot on which it may rest its weary wings. Their liquor or their good sense, (we will not say which) has delivered them from all sec tarian illiberality, and they may go untrammeled through the broad field of speculative enquiry. Is it not an advantage which cannot be too highly prized, to sit with such a sage council, and imbibe sentiments of unadulterated purity ? Is it not one for which any one might willingly sacrifice his bus iness, and allow his affairs to go to wreck and ruin ? Surely, no one would retire from such a place, with the reflection that “a fool is wiser in his own con ceit than seven men who can render a reason.” * Ambition in Little Things. Small acts in children, display principles which produce great deeds in grown men. The branches and leaves of the forest monarch are delicately sha ped in the narrowed circumference of the small acorn. So those high passions which incite the man to deeds of noble daring, lie in taint embryo in the breast of the boy. It is here perhaps, more than all else besides that “coming events cast their shadows be fore.” With feelings of deep interest, we behold all that is noble or commendable in children, and hail it as an indication of what will be in manhood.— But it is only as signs that such things give us pleas ure. We never fail of being disgusted when we see a boy affecting the airs and manners of a man.— The sensation is not less painful, when we behold a man feeling and acting like a child. To see a boy engage in any game with a keen anxiety for success, is judged an indication that he will strive to excel in whatever be may engage. For a grown person to indulge in the amusement, with the same feel ings would be thought unworthy the dignity of manhood. There are some persons, who though they may acquire the physical stature of men, remain forever in a state of mental ohildhood. Their thoughts, motives and ambition are all childlike. They are en tirely subjected to their own whims, and the dic tates of sound reason are unheard, perhaps un known. The trifles of life engross their attention and are the objects for the attainment of which they exert all their energies. To these, they subject ev erything, however important it may be. To grati fy their feelings in a private pique, the? would bring ruin and misery upon a whole community. Nor is this class composed wholly of the weak minded and simple. They frequently possess talents in other re spects which entitle them to positions of honor and trust. In these cases this ambition in little things becomes more contemptible, and far more dangerous. We may now see an exhibition of this spirit upon a largo scale in our country. Fanatics, with a bigot ed zeal to gain certain trivial ends, are entirely ob livious of the highest interest or mmihmo, uua •- dy to plunge into the miseries of anarchy and war fare. * Do Something. Yes, do something. Never indulge in the degra ding, body-ruining, soul-destroying practice of do ing nothing. Let not idleness fix its foul curse upon you. Tt is the prolific source of vice and crime, *f moral and physical death. Honesty, dignity and honor, are incompatible with a life of idleness; hap piness can never be attained by it; the mind stag nates, and is a worthless talent to its possessor, and the whole system of the man becomes a complete wreck under its influence. An idle man is an im pediment to progress, a clog in the machinery of the worlds action, a living reflection upon his Makers wisdom. He is a public nuisance; for like the death dealing Upas, he sends out his fatal influence upon all around him. Do something. What though fortune may have released you from the absolute necessity of actual labor. Does that render the claims which nature makes upon you for exertion less imperative, or does it diminish the pleasure of menial cultivation. There is still a task before you, which your duty to your self and to your fellow men command you to peform. The world which has yielded you sustenance, socie ty which has granted you privileges and immuni ties demands from you some service in return. You have a mind whose capacities you should enlarge and improve, and fit for the enjoyment of that bliss to which a life of virtue will entitle you. Do something. There are many things necessary to be done. Despair not, though you see hundreds ami thousands idly waiting for some propitious an gel to stir the waters of success. The day of mira cles has long since passed, and that mysterious vis itant will never appear. If you would aim high, you must work vigorous’y, and boldly strive to wring success from an unwilling world. Shrink not be cause you find every profession crowded ; when you see a pedagogue enthroned in every wayside school house, whose pile of “teachers assistants” scarce enables him to conceal his ignorance; when you see excellent plow-boys converted into wretched Doc tors, or good hod-carriers into blundering “Attor neys at Law,” you need not fear. Your contest will not be with them, They have mistaken their cal ling, they are at war with nature, reason, and com mon sense, and success in this struggle is hopeless. They are madly striving to make themselves some thing for which they were never designed. Go not to work in this manner. God has given you talents of a certain order, and for a certain purpose, and for this alone you can exercise them successfully.— Choose your business not with a reference to which is most pleasant, or most lucrative; hut consider carefully, prayerfully what you are fitted for, and when you have ascertained, go to work diligently, faithfully, patiently. Then, and only then may it he said that “there is no such word as fail.” - Admitted.

The Savannah papers state that Habersham’s Rice Mills were destroyed by fire early on Saturday morn ing. Over 20,000 bushels of Rice were either burnt up or injured. Three prisoners, L. R.

Extraordinary Developments,-Extensive Medical Forgeries. We learn from the Philadelphia papers that the exnnination of Pelham D. Hollis, of that city, on a charge of counterfeiting the labels of Holloway’s cel ebrated Pills, has resulted in the committal of the prisoner to take his trial for that offence. The tes tirnony disclosed some facts. It appeared that Hol lis had closely imitated the original wood Cuts and lithographic plates used in Professor Holloway’s bu siness; that his nefarious preparations had been on a gigantic scale, and that the immense popularity of theMcdicine justified him expecting vast returns in case of success. Fortunately the active and ener getic agents of Professor Holloway, (who may be said to constitute a special police for the protection of his interests in all parts of the world,) soon dis covered the fraud and procurred the aiTest of the perpetrator. The Central Office in New York, act ing under instructions from the parent establishment in London, next proceeded to trace out the where abouts of the counterfeits, and it is believed that they have all been discovered snid destroyed. Frauds of this n dim- arc atrocious. They imperil health and life, by substituting for a genuine cura tive something that is either ineffective or positively noxious. To counterfeit a- bank bill is merely t-o cheat the pocket, hut to counterfeit, a great medicine is to rob the sick not only of their money but of the chance of cure. It would seem that the boundless success of Pro fessor Holloway’s remedies in this country has arous ed to an unwonted extent the cupidity o! that class of harpies who watch the progress of a grand discov ery for the sole purpose of robbing the discoverer and deceiving the public. The author of “Lacon” says “ITvpocrisy is the homage which Vice pays to Virtue,” and it may with equal truth be affirmed that the counterfeiting of a world-renowned medicine is the unconscious tribute which villainy pays to skill, Hcieucc and success. We rejoice that, the villainy basin this case been promptly unmasked, and that there is every proba bility of justice being dealt out to the offender. We would suggest fhnt Ibe trade, warned by the detection of this scheme of fraud and robbery, should exercise the utmost vigilance in guarding against theiike impositions licreafter. —‘Boston Tut(Jligewer.

We learn from undoubted authority, (says the Savannah Republican,) that this unfortunate man, whose name has become quite notorious in Georgia, and who, our readers will recollect, was arraigned recently before the U. S. Commissioners in this city, for forgery upon the Pension Office, ami made his escape, committed suicide in the jail of Sparta, Co necuh county, Alabama, on Wednesday, the 27th ult. The facts, as obtained by us from Deputy U. S. Marshal, Laroche, are as follows:—Ramsey was arrested some weeks ago in the neighborhood of Spuria, on a charge or charges of forgery, and com mitted to jail. His friends in Georgia, preferring to have him stand his trial here on the charge upon which he was arrested some months ago, obtained a warrant from the U. S. District Court, and proceed ed to Alabama, in company with the Deputy Marshal, for the purpose of demanding him from the authori ties of the latter State.
