A TRAIT OF ABERNETHY.—One of the brightes
points in Abernethy's character was, that, however he
might sometimes forget the courtesy due to his private
patients, he was never unkind to those whom charity
had confided to his care. One morning, leaving home
for the hospital, when some one was desirous of detain-
ing him, he said—" Private patients, if they do not like
me, can go elsewhere ; but the poor devils in the hos-
pital I am bound to take of."—Macilwain's Memoirs of
Abernethy.
THE HORSE HACO.—This horse, which, it will be
remembered, won the Cesarewitch a fortnight ago, was
purchased of Sir Joseph Hawley, at the sale of that
gentleman's racing stud in 1851, by Mr. Wm. Barrett,
for 65 guineas, and was ridden by a lad named Palmer,
whose parents reside at Frilford, near Oxford, the
father being coachman to Mr. William Aldworth, of
that village. The lad's riding is thus spoken of in the
Sunday Times of the 16th inst. :—" Their success (al-
luding to the owner and party who backed the horse),
however, was not a little owing to the admirable and
patient-riding of Palmer, a very promising light weight."
On Monday, the 17th, the gratified parents of the lad
returned from a journey to Newmarket, whither they
had been invited, to receive, for the purpose of invest-
ment for the future use of their son, a handsome sum,
amounted to between 4001. and 5007„ which has been
given by the fortunate owner of the horse as a gratuity
to the lad for his excellent riding. Mr. Barrett, it is
said, has netted 20,000/. by the event ; while a few of
his friends in the north of England have also made
another 20,000/.

[ADVERTISEMENT,I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
for the Cure of Bad Legs are the most effectual reme-
dies.—Extract of a letter from Mr. David Smith, of the
Patent Slip, Arbroath, dated June 10, 1853. "To
Professor Holloway--Sir : I suffered the most excrucia-
ting pains for a period of eight years from a dreadfully
bad leg, which completely disabled me from performing
any kind of work during the whole of that time. I used
every available remedy, but derived no benefit whatever.
As a last resource I tried your ointment and pills, which
alone effected a complete cure, and have enabled me to
resume my employment with my former vigour and
activity."—Sold by all druggists • and at Professor Hol-
