Patent Elastic Saddles.
A WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part a just
and general one, and is really a great grie.
vance to those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn his mind par
ticulsrly I" that subject. with a view, il
possible, to remedy the evil. He can
with confidence assure the public that be
has accomplished il. The plan projected
is by means Of strong and well tempered
steel springs, so constructed as TO support
the saddle seat and give much greater ease
TO both rider aud horse, than saddles made
in the common way or any other that he
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely different from the English elas-
tic saddles with spring bars of steel,
whalebone, &c. and also from those with
wire springs, and he c~onceives much su.
perinr to either, as the elasticity is great
er, and the tree not being put out OF its o.
riginal form, will not be subject to hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
Of in the saddles with spring bars. A
number Of gentlemen have those saddles
now in use, aud but one sentiment. exists
among them in favor OF their superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable to
LADIES' saddles as to gentlemen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles and superior to
most, JAMES VANSANT.

*The cases at the Small Pox Hospital
were registered daily, and all the impor-
tant symptoms carefully noted. Among
the first questions, asked was that con.
corning the previous existence of the small
pox, or the vaccine disease. If the Pa
tient affirmed that either had previously
existed, its course and issue were par.
ticular questioned, and the limbs strictly
scrutinized to discover the scar. IL un-
der the assertion that either had been pro-
duced by innoculation, DO scar could be
found, the person was considered as un.
protected, and a note to that effect insert.
ed 10 The. register. IL fanny scar was pointed
out. this, in conjunction with the assertion
Of the patient, was esteemed good evil
dsnce, and the case SO registered. That
the plan pursued was a good one, is de-
monstrated by the event. In the statement
of no one case declared at the commence
nent to have been v~aUcinated, has the
word death been subsequently, written.
Even o pains were taken to ascer.
tain the previous existence OF small pox.
The opinion Of the patient and the sea-
il inoeulated, or the pits il npt, were ia

Having rendered probable the

here, before entering on the inquiry,
as it relates to the present epidemic,
I may state, that at all times, hen
small pox does not prevail as an cpl
demic, it is very difficult to convey
It to those who have been vaccinated.
AT this time, however, we find not
in it the same protection. Hun
dreds Of vaccinated persons have,
during the present season, been af-
fected by small pox ; and those who
have con6ded in its protecting pow
er have been betrayed into the hands
of disease. Why is this It may,
perhaps. assist US in our inquiry to

BEAUTIES OF HISTORY.
MAGNANIAlI1N.

As Alexander, after one of his victories over the
Pcr5ans, was sitting down to table, an account vas
brought him, that among the prisoners were the
mother and wife of Darius, and two unmarried
daughters; and that upon seeing his chariot and
bow, they broke out into great lamentations,
Guiding that he was dead. Alexander, after sone
pause, during which he rather commissioning
their misfortunes than rejoicing in his own success,
sent Lconatus to assure them, "that Darius was
not dead that they had nothing to fear from Alex
ander, for his dispute with Darius was only for en-
plre and that they should find themselves provided
for in the same manner as when Darius was in lis
greatest prosperity" If this message to the cap
tive prlncesses was gracious and humane, his
tons were sti!l more 50. lie allowed them to 90
the funeral honouls to what Pcrsans they pleased,
and for that purpose furnished them out Of the
spolls with robes, and All the other decorations that
were customary They had as many domcstics,
and were served, in ali respects, in as honorable
manner as before indeed, appointments were
greater But there was another part of his bella
viour to them Still more noble and princely. Tho
they were now captives, he considered that they
were ladies, not only of high rank but of great mo-
desy and virtue, and took that they should
not hear an indecent word, nor have the least cause
to suspect any danger to their honour. Nay, as if
they had been i'll holy temple, as, lum of VIZ
gins, rather than in an enemy camp, they lived
unseen and unapproached, in the mos sacred pr
vacy.
1t is said, the wife of Darius Was one of the most
beautiful women, As Darius was one of the t.,l.st
and handsomest men in the world and that their
daughters much rescmbed them, But Alexander,
no doubt, thought it more worthy Of king to con
quer himself, than to subdue his enemies; and,
therefore, never approached one OF them.
