nal seems to increase in value with each suc-

the Physicians of the South, it will doubtless
be the moans of elevating the profession in

ably with the profession in any part of

A Scree faun Historr. When Thomas Jefferson,
with a sagacity and statesmanship far in advance of
his contemporttRes, urged the.purchase of Louisiana
f fcoai Frauce,'"th1jjroject was assailed iiy his enemies
with uuexamplednttterness. The artdlery of the press
was levelled' against him, and congressional declaimers
laade the capltbl ring with denunciations.
Josiah Quincy, of Mass.,anable.tawyer, but violent
politician in a speech against. the purchase, said :
f If this bill passerine ionds of this Union are virtu-allWEditsolved-e.tates
.which .compose it will be
freejfrom their moral obligatiscs, and as it will be the
righ't,of ,alj, so it will be tbe duty ef some to prepare
.definitely for a separation amicably if they can vio-
lently if they must."
The Democratic party in sustainmg Jefferson, was
accused df wandering to the.very onds of the earth, in
search cf new.seltlemeuus.fvithtwbichto satiate their
Xarntfifiel voraciousness. New-Orleans was represented
as a dn of pollution, inhabjted.by aa Anglo Hispano
Gallo tmencan race, witn a contusion oi wugues
worse than prevailed at Babel,.whoxould never, lrom
theirdiversity of language andnativity, become assimi-
latedjojo jreelves. These wexe.the.declarations of the
"no-morc-ienilary-party"'Qf.that day.
But how has it resulted? Desjiite the predictions
and maledictions, Louisiana was admitted into the
Union , New Orleans inclusive. The catalogue of cal-
amities foretold by ;theprophet ftoincy, proved the veri
est hobgoblins that ever sprang irora aa ovewicaieu
imagination. The Union' which was soon to tumble to
j)ieces,ha3 survived, not-a.BUir erased, but some new
and .Jjfilliant ones added" to the -constellation. TW
ubused city of New Orleans hao proved the most im-
portant commercial point on tho continent, even to the
merchant princes of Boston. In our struggle witti
Mexico what should wo hare done without her 7 She
liaabeen, and is, the great dvpot for all oar implements
and means of war. Louisiana herself has sent as many
ehivlr'x spirits to the bttlfe field as any other State in
the Union, and it parsed jato a-rovcrb, that in the
national Congress she is invariably represented by men
distinguished for their brilliant intellectual endowments.
We need but to refer to her Senator of last year, who,
although, iy birth a Frenchman displayed the most pro-
fojnd knowledge of and devotion to our republican
institutions, and wbsojfeloqueuce carried him it a
single .bound to the eidoftflBenton, Calhoun and Web-
ster. Why evea now, some of'cur opponent are en-
dravoticg' to yet farther immortalize Louisiana, by
elevating one of her citizens to the Presidency of
the United Sttos1

American and English Women. The American
girl at eig'otcen is one oT the most beautiful of living
beings, but at thirty she i passe. . At forty the English
woman isiiiherpr.me. Whence comes the difference 7
From their respective habits 'of living. The American
women live in hot-houses, 'antflilke very little exer-
cise abroad, and when she does' she is ill protected
againstthe weather. TheEnglusbworaan rides, walks,
practices archery and other exercises in the open air,
and is always properly clad fo jnet the exigencies of
.tho weather. Hence her beanty is a periuial bloom.
Oneis a hot-house plant that'wihers on exposure; tho
other a hardy tree thit flourishes in every phaso of
veather.
Advantage of going itp law. (The advantage of
appealing to those dispensers of equal aud exact justice
to.all men, courts and-juxiej, in 'disputed and doubtful
eases, is forcibly ireuguthomt in tLo iulltrtvmg story

The following remarks are annexed to the table :
"The above account is not a vague calculation ba t J
is taken from such census, enuraoralions and muster
rolls as are undoubted; but as the same have berni
taken at different times, and none within seven years
past, there is a suitable allowance made for tS increase ,
and for which, in the above account, is made varum ,
deductions, so that it is 70,000 less than what are es
teemed tho.best computations."
Not a million in 1755, but now, in 1846, less than a '
century, tweuty-one millions of people.
Light from Electricity. Mr. Staite is lecturing u
England on his new mode of lighting by electricity. - '
At a soiree given by the Literary and Philosophic I
Society of Sunderland, Mr. Staite' mode oflighticij
was the principal attraction. The Newcastle Guar
dian says :
Tho light, which was of astonishing brilliance, aa d
beauty, was placed under an airtight glass vase.
When the gass was turned down it sufficieuty lighte 1
the spacious building, and bore the closest resemblanc e
to the great orb of day of any light we ever witnesses i.
The electric light was next exhibited in a vessel of
wajer witii equal success. Mr. S. stated that it w: as
the cheapest, as well as the best, for all practical
purposes; and the marvellous invention was haiti d
with rapturous plaudits. The expence is said to 'lie
much less than that of common gas.
JTave Respect for your Calling. Here is an illtt s-
tiation. A mechanic' passing aloug with his saw at d
axe in bis hand, came up with a master sweep talkie :g
familiarly with a smart looking boy.
" Is that your son J " he inquired .
" Yes," replied the sweep.
" You surely don't intend making a sweep of th at
little fellow, do you T "
"If he behaves himself," rejoined the father, '"I
6hall, but if he is not a good boy I will bind him a p-
prentice to a carpenter, or some such trade."
T7Ait tAe old Lady Said. An old Iadydown t
wards Speonk, (not far from Quogue) in Suffol k
county, on this Island, once said that to her notion a '
great man was " a man what is keerful of his clothe s, '
don't drink no spirits, kin read the bible, without spc 1-
lin'the words, and kin eat a cold dinner on wash day, to ,
save the women folks from cookin." ;
Watering Cattle. Many farmers suffer a loss "by
not providing good and convenient water for th- ?ir
cattle. Au annual that is compelled to go half a mi !e
over a slippsry road, and chased perhaps by dog s,
cannot cam in dosh by the operation. If a cow has to
travel twice a day half a mile to water, and retur n,
she travels two miles a" day : or ten cows perfor m
twenty miles of travelling per day, and two thousai id
miles each winter.
Meat and Bones. -Every minister is entitled to his
own way of makiug sermons, provided, always that he
fit them for his audience. But some seem to mistal :o ,
just at this point. A minister who prided himself up in )
his accuracy and precision of thought, had spent h is ,
hour on several labored and nice distinctions, and i a
he walked home, he inquired of a celebrated clergymai n,
who had heard him, whether he thought his distlnc -.-tions
full and judicious. I think them not full, was th e
answer, for oue important one has been omitted. "Wha t
can that be," said the preacher, "for I had taken
more than ordinary care to enumerate them all." " I
think not," said the venerable adviser, "for when
many of your congregation had travelled several miles
for a meal, I think yon should not have forgotten the
important distinction which must ever exist between
meat and bones."
' In making sermons, there is first what is commonly
called the skeleton, next the filling up. Some are found
to be especially skilled in skeleton making, not think-
ing perhaps, but what the audience will be delighted
with their beautiful frame-work. But generally, there
are large numbers who had come " for a moal," and
while the preacher may be exhibiting bis skeleton,
they will be thinking of " the important distinction
which must ever exist between meat and bones." A
hungry hearer will judge of asermon, much as the eco-
nomist does of animal food, that being perferred in which
the bones are small and few, in proportion to the
flesh.
A VENERABLE LADY.
The widow of Dr. Benjamin Rush yet lives and re-
sides in this city, at the age of nearly ninety years. She
retains the complete use of alf her faculties is active,
gay and cheerful in the bosom ofher family, and
commands tho profound and universal respect of a
large enele of admiring friends. We think she is the
only surviving partner of any of the fearless and pa-
triotic men who pledged life, honour and fortune in
Independence Hall who braved the power of a great
Empire, and by that act secured a distinguished place
for their names and their country among the nations of
the world. Phil Inq.,
THE CROWNED SKELETON.
Aix-LA-CiurELLE iu Germany derives its name
from the tomh of Charlemagne. He gave instructions
that when he died, be should be buried in a royal
position; not prostrato as slumbering dust, but seated
in the attitude of a ruling monarch. He had the
mausoleum erected over the sepulchre of our Saviour
at Jerusalem. In a tomb within this chapel he. was
placed upon a throne. Tho Gospels, which I suppose he
often read whilst he was living, he jyould appear
determined to study thoroughly after he was dead. He
directed they should be laid upon his knees before him;
by his side was his sword; upon his hand was an imperial
crown, and a royal mantle covered his lifeless shoulders.
Thus was his body placed, and thus did his body
remain for about one hundred and eighty years.
Ono of his successors resolved he would see how
Charlemagne looked, and what had become of the
riches that adorned hs tomb. Nearly a thousand years
after Christ, the tomb was opened by the emperor
Otho. The skeleton form of the body was found there,
dissolved and dismembered; the various ornaments I
speak of were all there too; but the frame had sunk into
fragments, the bones bad fallen disjointed and asunder;
and there remained nothing but the ghastly skuix
wearing its crqwk still ! and nothing to signify royalty
but this vain pageant of death in its most hideous
form!
The various relics were taken up, and, are now
preserved at Vienna J and they have often since been
employed in the coronation of tho Emperors of
Germandy, in order to sij;nify their grootness, and
their being Mtcci fairs to Charlemagne. Dr. Classic's
Summer Rawhh
Howfctnkmg a comment does the forty-ninth Psalm
afford to this btrange history J What became of the
monarch's bodv 7 It was again entombed, though
spoiled, till Frederick Barbarossa in 1165 interrupted
the silence of the cloomv place. He removed the royal
remains into a splendid receptacle he had prepared,
and placed the marble throne in the Church, where
it is now exhibited to strangers. But the body itself
is nowhere to be found ! its last resting-place is empty,
the limbs are dispersed in the (brm of relics. The
skull and one arm-bone are preserved as sacred relics
in the Cathedral.' But though scattered be his limbs,
Charlemagne shall yet hear tho voico of the Kinf: of
kings, and stand uncrowned In His presence, who we ars

From British Guiana Speculations concerning the
United States and Cuba. By the schr. Globe, from
Demerara, wo have a file of the Georgetown Gazette,
(Government paper) to Dec. 4th. That journal con-
templates with i.itibfactiou the succe.- of the Ameri-
can arms. The following was published, ou the 2Uth
of November:
The fall of Mexico, and the triumph of the Ameri-
can arms, are of importance to ourselves. The almost
uuparalleled ease with which, a nation, numbering ten
millions of souls, has been subjugated, cannot but pro-
duce a feeling of proud elation, in the United States.
The fear is, that the seiite oftriumgh and of power
will impel tho Americans to other conquests in tho
hemisphere, which they claim as their own. Victo-
rious in Mexico, and that too in defiance qf tho clamor
f a largo part of the civilized world, they will natur-
ally turn with more earnestness than, ever their eyes in
the direction of Cuba.
To uudcrtako and la exocnte is njmost the same
thing with a nation, ia which the faculties of individu-
als are freely developed, iu which there are none of
those harassingshackles uoiie of those servile fetters,
that retard the moveineuts, cripple the limbs, and dis-
gust tho minds of the inhabitants of so many other
lands. In America tho people- direct the government,
not the government tho people. Perhaps it is owing
to this circumstance that the Americans aro so nation-
al so sincerely attached to. their country and institu-
tions. Every man being free to think and act as he pleas-
w, there is none of that smothered venom, which is
tho curse and ruin of corrupt societies. Now it is well
known that tho American people have made up their
minds with regard to Cuba. Cuba they will have, and
the government must obey them. Such seems the
result of the military spirit engendered by the succes-
ses in Mexico.
That conquest will affect us in, this way : Cuba
annexed to the United States will be very difi'erent
from Cuba in the hands of the servile feeble Spaniards.
The resources of Cuba aro not half developed, and ne-
ver will be while Cuba remains a colony under tho
cold oppression of Spam. In the hands of America
that splendid island will bo what nature designed her,
aud will pour, with a prodigality of w.hich wo can
scarcely dream, her tropical treasures into, the marts
of the world. It is not to ba supposed that the Amer-
icans would abandon the African, slave trado ; but,
concurrently with the importation of slaves, no doubt,
would wo an immense stream ot iroe immjgraiion irom
nil parts of the world. This, it is. clear, would serious-
ly affect us; weshojdd be undersold every where, and
uot have a chance of regaining our station. Cuba
would monopolize the sugar trade of the world.

CHEERING NEWS FOR CONSUMPTIVES. ,
Miss Julia A. Woodford says, in a letter to Doctor
Jayne, dated ruaugatuck.Conn. Sept. 30. 1846.
"I am using your Alternative, wnh good effect for a
Scrolulous anectun under which I h-ive been suffering
for the last ten years '' And after describing her situ-
ation, and asking for further adytce, goe3 on to say .
"We have used a great deal of your medicines in my
father's family, and have known them to make great
cures. About five years since, my brother was very
sick with what was supposed to be Consumption.
The best physician in the place was called in, (we were
then in Cabotville, Mass.,) and he came I do not know
just how long, but for a great many days, and brought
with him other physicians but still grew worse.
They at last gave him over, said that they could do
nothing more for himthat he must die. Wc watch-
ed over him hour after hour, expecting that every
breath would be his last. At length one night a gen
tleman called to see him, and spoke of Dr. Jayne s
Expectorant ; said tnat ne tnougnt mat ne was ioo lar
yone to live, but that there could be no harm in trying
it. The same mcht wc sent to Springfield and obtain-
ed a boule, and givingit to him, without littlehopes of
its having any effect. His physician called next day
. it his usual hour, and the moment he entered the room
1 jronounced him better. We sent for m ire of the Ex
t jectorant, and gave him that and nothing e'se until he
vas entirely cured He took twenty seven bottles,
,i Jid his health has been belter since than it .was before
h as sickness. He is now in Hopkmsville, Ky., atten-
d ing to his business. Respectlully, yours,

Highly Important News from the South.
Tne following extract of a letter is from a very re-
3. lectable mercantile house, dated
Washington, Rappahannock Co , Va., )
May 26, 1846.
Dr. D. Jayne, Dear Sir, Our Mr Jones has been
in .a very low stale of health for more than a year; he
h as had the benefit of the best medical cdvice our
c ountry affords, and also visited your city during last
.-f ammer, but found no relief. On the Hth of April
1 ist, we purchased a half dozen bottles of your Tonic
'ermuuge, and a nail dozen boxes ot banative fins
1 through carelessness in packing the articles in a dry
joods box, one half the Vermifuge was broken. Mr.
. ones commenced with tbe Pills, and after taking a
1 iw doses, felt a decided improvement. The three
sottles of Vermifuge, which came safe to hand, bro't
from him, he thinks, not less than ONE THOUSAND
WORMS, and perhaps manj more. He is now in
better health than he has been in for years, and we
hope a few more bottles of your Vermifiige and Pills
will effect a permanent cure. All our physicians hac
entirely mistaken his case. Prof. Samuel Jackson of
your city at the head. Mr. Jones is most anxious to
get more of your Pills and Vermifuge, as Foon as pos-
sible. Respectfully, J B JONES &. Co.
Beware of thai Cough.
For coughing denotes irritation in the throat or
lungs, which is the immediate precursor of Inflamma-
tion, Abscess, Bronchitis, Consumption and death
Now, there is no need of coughing at all, for Jayne's
Expectorant will immediately relieve the cough, sub-
due the inflammation, cleanse the lungs and throat
from all irritating or obstructing matter, and effect a
speedy cure.

Cancer, Scrofula and Goitre.
Ample experience has proved that no combination
ot medicine has ever been so efficacious in removing
the above diseases, asDr. Jayne'a Alternative. It has
effected cures truly astonishing, noi only of Cancer,
and other diseases of that class, but has removed the
most stubborn diseases of the skin, swellings, Liver
coinplatnt, dyspepsia, etc., etc. This medicine enter3
into the circulation, and era licates diseases wherever
located It p irifies the blood and other fluids of the
inrtu mmnvps obstruction in thenores ot the skin, and
reducesthe enlargements of the glands or bones. It
increases the appetite, removes headache and drowsi-
ness, and invmorates the whole system, and imparts
animation to the diseased and dehihtatel constitution.
There is nothing superior to it in the whole materia
medica It is perfectly safe and extremely pleasant,
and has nothing of the disgusting nausea accompany
ing the ideaot swallowing nieuieine.

Haddonfield. N. J , Feb; 2d, 1846.
Dr Jayne: Sir I take great pleasure in informing
you that the bottle of Hair Tonic w hick 1 obtained of
you last October, has proved most satisfactory and
successful. My hair had for a long time been excef d
ihgly thin, but for two or three years past it had so
fallen out that my head had become almost entirely
bald. I was under the necessity of concealing, the
baldness, by combing the hair on the sides over it.
But now, after using a bottle of the Tonic, I kave as
luxuriant a growth of hair as I evtrhad. CC PARK
