From the (London) John Bull
THE RA.HSBOTTOM NARRATIVE
PANS TAM 90 1904

PARIS, JAN. 60, 1924.
To Mr.. Bull,
SIR-As my daughter Lazy, who acts
as my amaranttus, [amanuensis,1 is Ill
disposed with a. cold and guitar, Tca-
tarrh, contracted by visiting the Heca-
tonobs last week, send this without her
little billy which she usually sends.-My
second daughter has sprained her tender
hercules in crossing one of the roues--
and my third daughter has got a military
fever, which, however, hope by put
ting her through regiment, and giving
her few subteJvges, will soon abate. /
am, however, good deal Embrace, as
the French would say, with so many ill.,
valids.
Since | wrote last, have visited the
Hutto6aIto0, or corn market, so called
from the noise made in it. Mr.. Fulmer
told me | should see the .tloSOer of the
French nation there, but only saw "a
crowd of old men and women. Here is
Pillo10 made for judicious astronomy,
but which looks like sun-dial.
We went on Tuesday, to the symme-
try [cemeteryl of the Chaisepcrre, as
they call it, where the French and En-
Massachusetts spy and Worcester advertiser. [volume] ([Worcester, Mass.]) 1823-1825, 1824-11-03

married, being country people invited
from the adjacent parts, each Of whom
was one hundred years of age.
Such an instance of longevity in eight
persons met together, probably before
was never equalled.
TcHeson Sologogsteen, and his wife Kelie.
Jern Ger, and his wife Inger. H.
Ole Bessebar, and bis wife Nejah-- III
Hans Forlasken, who brought with
him; as has partner, Joran GalIen: she
9'as sci his wite, but being above one
hundred years of age, he had borrowed
her for this very extraordinary core
mony.
These eight persons made themselyek
extremely merry at THO jubiice-weL
ding the women, according to the Gus
tom of the country, danced with green
wreaths on their heads, which. in Nor
way, are always worn by brides ohqheiE
wedding-day. They had each gen
teel present 10 defray their expenses
home. Aels
Norwegians are sparing in their hab-
its, and hardy in their constitutions.
They, like the Swedes, have sumptp-
sry-laws TO prevent luxury; and their
beneficial consequences are evident
from the circumstance, that so many
persons could be DESTROYS TO enter into
the connubial state, at an age wher =
crepituds generally takes pace Of the
vigour OF msturity in the inhabitants rs
other countries. This viii affOrd an
important lesson TO those who are now
living single, asweiI as to those already
married.

Newly invented, Self-adjusting
Spiral Spring
TRUSS.

VESHIS Truss possesses the prln-
ciple, so long sought for in vain, by men
of science, and falsely claimed to have been
discovered by Salmon Oddly 4 Company, of
London, and by Amos G. Hull, of New York,
yiz.--thc sELF-ADJusTINa PRINCIPLE.
The Trusses Of these Preten6ers embrace the
Ball and Socket, and hinge joint principles,
which admit Of loose wabbling motion, back
ward and forward, of the rupture pad; but
possess no restoring or self-adjusting principle,
by which an equal pressure on all parts OF the
pad is constantly maintained.
The Truss now offered to the public, by the
insertion of SPIRAL SPRING in the Pad,
possesses the REAL sELF-ADJUSTlNG
POWER. This spring allows to the Pad not
only lateral motion in every possible direc-
ton, but also a rotatory motion upon its cen
tire, thus adapting itself to all the various mo
tons of the body, and causing an equal pres.
sure upon all parts OF the Pad, in every posi-
BILE position of the patient.
The following Certificates aoiL sbow the supe.
rtority of this TRUSS TO all others now IN
use.
At Meeting of the CHEN.4NGO COUJV:
TY MEDICAL SOCIETY, holden al III.
Village Of Norloich, Jday I'M, 1924,
RESOLVED, That in che opinion of this Socie-
ty, the SPIRAL SPRING TRUSS, presented
by Mr.. bella FAIR, is superior to any one in
use and we recommend it as such to the
faculty and public. Fl. STORRS, Sec'y.
ALBANY, Oct. 18th, 1923.
Having examined Mr.. FARR'S newly in
vented SPIRAL SPRING TRUSS, by which
the Pad is regulated and adapted to the parts
with perfect ease and safety, in the different
positions Of the body, do believe it an i'm
provement surprising any thing Of the kind

Iglish are miscelldneogsly inferred; and
amused myself by copying epigranss OIL
the tombstones-one Of them which
looked like large bath, Mr.. Fulmel
told me was sark Of gooss, [sarco

my friend Mr.. Rogers call Mr.. Hune's
Shirt.
In the afternoon we went to dine al
Beau Vitlier's-not the Mr.. VilIiers who
owes our government so much money
but The smell of the postillions which
were burning in the rooms quite over
powered me. got better in the
evening, and as the girls were not with
US, Mr.. Fuiper took me round the Pal
ais Royal. which is a curious place in
deed. We saw several Russian car
houses, and went into the "Cqfec de
MAX atone," so called because when
Buonaparte coniiscated the cargoes from
the West-Indies, and qropagGted the use
of coffee, the lady who kept this place
made mixture with milk alone, which
answered all the purpose cf coffee.
The room is surrounded by looking
glasses, so that the people are always
multiplying who go there.--The lady
herself was very beautiful, but Mr.. Full
mer told me she was constantly reflected
upon. Mr.. F. look some melted glass,
upon which | did not like to venture,
but contented myself with tumbler of
caterpillar and water.
Wednesday, we went to the Sha,npde-
mars, which is opposite 70 the Pere Eli
see, and saw review Of the Queerdsses

returned to their quarters.
We went, yesterday, TO what is their

Mr.. Fulmer, and am afraid is a fretting
about il; but it is quite Get dire be-
tween us, Mr.. B. He says her figure
is liks the Venus de Medicine; which is
no doubt owing to the pulling down she
has had of late. We are going next

a Printers remarkable dream. The.
Printer of the Farmers Advocate, saws
-" We do not pretend TO believe in
Dreams" but we had one few nights
since, of such a singular character that
we cannot resist an inclination 10 give il
publicity. We dreamed, (for printers
are subject TO dreams, that all our de-.
linquent subscribers hocked in and paid
up their old accounts-conseauentIy, VI,
Immediately procured new type from,
New York, enlarged the Advocate, and
paid off the paper maker. In this we
were exceedingly, delighted-but Just
as we were about to render host or
grateful acknowledgements TO eur pat
rons, an unlucky, laundering little in
sect, (Which we do think might have
found better Iodgings) gave Us such
friendly grip between the shoulders, that
we awoke under The dreadful apprehen-
sion that the sheriff had fayoured Us
with call--But twas all dream--all
but the bite.''

Selections from English Papers.

Venice was anciently famed for its ad-
mlrable police. 1t happened one day
that a French Nobleman, in taking few
turns in the square Of ST. Mark, had bis
pocket picked ola valuable watch. In
stantly on ascertaining his loss, he re-
paired TO the police department, aud ex-
pressed, with little discretion, and inim-
measured terms, his surprise that, under
IFS Wanted regulations, such circum-
stance should have occurred in the mid
die OF the day, and in so public a place.
/" BE careful how you speak of the po-
lice OF VeDice," said the Commissary to
whom he had addressed himself. /" Your

Deposi; here four Zechins, and repair
Tomorrow morning at the same hour,
to the spot where you lost your watch,
with an assurance that it will be restor-
ed to you" The Frenchman was pune
tual, and waited three hours without a.
ny tidings of his watch. Still more en-
ragged than before, be again presented
bimselfto the Commissary, venting the
bitterest imprecations, and swearing he
had been most shameiuily Numbered and
duped, having not only lost his watch,
but his zechins, together with bic time,
which he held to be equally valuable.
Look 10 your fob, = said the Commissa-
ry, and there, 10 his utter astouishaleat,
he found his watch "You have still 10
learn something further of the Venetian
police" added the Commissary, q for
which purpose here is an officer who
will accompany you." Having descend
ed TO subtcrraneous apartment, his
guide led him by several gloomy vault
ed passages, in crossing which he be-
came more and more anxious as TO what
was TO befal him, TO chamber, dimly
lighted by a lamp; where 10 a recess,
the curtain of which was drawn aside for
his inspection, suspended by cord be

GOOD ADVICE.

A certain Cham Of Tartary going a
progress with mobiles, was met by IA
Dervise, who cried with loud voice,
whoever will give me hundred pieces
of gold will give him piece Of ad, ice.
The Cham ordered the sum: upon
which the DeTvise said. 6 Begin moth
ing Of which thou hast not well consid-
cred the end"
The courtiers, upon bearing this plain
sentence, smiled, and said with a sheer,
" the Dervise is well paid for his max
im." But the king was so well satisfied
with the answer that he ordered it 10
be written in gold letters in several
places of his palace, and engraved on
all his plate. Not long after, the kings
surgeon was brlbed TO kill him with a
poisoned lancet at the time he let him
blood. One day, when the kings arm
was bound, and the fatal lancet in the
surgeons hand, he read on the basin,
I" begin nothing of which thou hast not
we'll considered the end.n He imme
diately started, aud let the lancet fall
out of his hand. The King observed
his confusion, and inquired the reason :
the surgeon fell PROSTATE, confessed the
whole affair and was pardoned, and the
cOnspirators died. The Cham, turning
to his courtiers Mo heard the advice
with contempt, told them, "That coun-
sci could not be too much valued which
saved kings life"
