HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—For the Effectual
Cure of Bad Legs.—(Extract of a Letter from H. Watkinson,
Esq., Proprietor of the Spalding Free Press, dated Dec. 15th,
1853.)—" Dear Sir,—A cottager residing at Moulton has re-
quested me to send you the particulars of the almost miracu-
lous cure effected by using your Ointment and Pills. The
sufferer's name is Hewdie, who injured his leg about fourteen
years ago, and although he was under medical treatment for
weeks together, he derived no benefit. At the age of sixty,
another accident happened to the already injured leg, which
left it in a fearful condition ; however, by the use of your
medicines alone it has been perfectly cured."_. _ _

FRAMFTON'S PILL OF HEALTH is a medicine of long-
tried efficacy, and its celebrity as a gentle aperient medicine
is daily increasing. For bilious and liver complaints, denoted
by sick headache, pain in the forehead and over the eyes,
dizziness, singing noise in the head or ears, heartburn, loss of
appetite, indigestion, and weakness of the stomach, drowsi-
ness, sense of fullness after eating, wind, spasms, &c., they
are admirable, and for elderly persons, where an occasional
aperient medicine is•required, nothing can he better adapted.
The manifold advantages to the heads of families from the
possession of a •medicine of known efficacy, that may be
resorted to with confidence, and in cases of temporary sick-
ness, occurring in all families more or less every day, are so
obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its impor-
tance to every housekeeper in the kingdom. Sold by all
medicine vendors, price is. lid. and 2s. 9d. per box. See the
name of Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," on the
government stamp.

A GREATER MAN THAN THE EMPEROR
OF ALL THE RUSSIAS.

(Fuom PuzicH.)

OUR old friend Madame Tussaud's Exhibition will be
very incomplete, without the addition of the extraordinary
model mentioned in the subjoined paragraph from the
Liverpool Standard:—
" A MODEL CABMAN.--The other night James Lomas, a
cabman, received half. a-sovereign from his fare, in mistake,
which he duly returned next day to his employer, Mr. Hamer,
stating from whom he had it. We believe that Lomas, who
has been 10 years in Mr. fiamer's employ, has been frequently
known to do similar acts. Some little while ago, one of xiur
merchants, residing in Aigburth, had a sovereign returned
him by Lomas which had been given him in like manner by
mistake. ' Such traits of honesty in a class who are too often
known as affording examples of an opposite line of conduct,
cannot have too much publicity, inasmuch as it gives an ex—
cellent incentive to others to follow the like example."
• -

-- Lomas is really a much greater man than the majority
of those of whom likenesses are made in wax, or even in
marble. In any well-ordered collection of images, molten
or graven, his figure would be placed in a high position.
His bust would be put along with the good heads ; and
not in the same row with Courvoisier and Daniel Good.
At what a height it would be classed above the Emperor
of Russia's ! That, indeed, could not be suffered to stand
on the rank of common cabmen ; fellows who are guilty
of mere extortion and insolence, and not of absolute
robbery : much less of murder. It would have to be
ranged with that of_ Nero,
_and the casts of Burke, and
Bishop, and Williams; differing frOm these only in want-
ing—for the present—perhaps only for the present—a
certain groove around the neck.

Why compare the Emperor Nicholas with Lomas, the
Cabman ? Because, the comparison between the two
individuals, conspicuous at the same moment, is natural.
Nicholas and Lomas appear in the papers together : both
remarkable; one as au honest man, the other as a villain;
Lomas with his twenty years of good character, and good
life : Nicholas with his more than twenty years of infamy,
and evil reign. Lomas is the greater man. He has more
in him of that which constitutes man. All the magni-
tude of Nicholas consists in what is bestial. If a boa-con-
strictor were endowed with a little intellect, and had
great power given it over men, the reptile would act just
as the Czar does : that Russian serpent, whose head is in
the Baltic, and tail in the Black Sea, whence, unless it is
chopped off there, it will coil round Europe.
Ascend, mentally, towards Heaven, some little way
higher than you can soar in a balloon : then look down at
Lomas restoring the coin, and at Nicholas trying to seize
the territory, which, respectively, did not belong to them.
Then see which is the finer thing. Observe, as you rise,
how the acts of the two men come more and more largely
into moral contrast. How, by degrees, all the greatness of
the Czar's rascally enterprise, as apparent to the eyes of
snob and flunkey, decreases. The thunder of the cannon
gets fainter and fainter till you cease to hear it, the death-
fires dwindle to sparks, and the glimmer of a rushlight.
But the act of which the noise and blaze are accessories
remains neither more nor less than an attempt at burglary,
aceonipanied with murder. As the planet beneath you
grows more and more like a star, the crime gets divested
of all the dignity which it derives, in that planet, from
affecting a large part of it ; loses all the importance
attaching to the robbery which is extensive : and appears
as petty as any larceny that does not arise from want, and
pettier than that.
On the other hand the upright conduct of Lomas in-

creases in magnitude as you regard it from higher regions.
You see the half-sovereign not in its proportion to the
riches of the Bank of England, but in its relation to the

earnings of a cabman. It then seems a great enough
thing to part with : and you perceive that, as a work of
indefinite charity was done by a widow, with a mite, so
may a considerable act of justice be performed by a cab-

ten-shilling piece
