Dr. Stillman's ideas on Geology are somewhat diff
ferent from those of Dr. Sliman. He adaptshis his
ocal theory of the earth to the science of medicine
and proves most conclusvely that Adam and Eve ne
yer had any of the disorders which now affiict hui
mainly III consequence of a natural regimen which
they followed, entirely conformable to the principles
on which the crust of the earth and the atmosphere
around are formed. The learned Doctor proves by
species of mathematical data, that medicine IS only
shoot from geology, and that the physician who does
not fully understand the nature of the earh-ihe
character OF its changes-the principles of its chemi-
cal and vegetable action-can never have true idea
of physiology or the science of human health ACTON
of all kinds, whether chemical vegetable, ANIMAL VI
tai or electrical springs from the same general prin-
clple which he calls the occult essence Of the Unt-
rerse." human beng-even the beautiful female,
arayed in all her loveines in the ball room, is as
much the result OF all these principles as the whole
universe. She combines, in single work, chemical,
animal, VITAL and electrical action all operating under
the same occult essence intellectual action which IS
part of the essence Of the Gedhead or Divinity. An
analysis of these very movements, separate and dis
tinc forms what we call the circle OF the sciences,
but the occult essence has never yet been nvesti-
gated or Analysed till Dr. Stllman has undertaken II.
He is now engaged in several curious experiments,
and in short time will be ready to asonish the world
with his philosophical discoveries particularly in
gard to human health.
Tsis singular and extraordinary lecturer kept his
lovely female audience in a state of breahess aten-
ton, almost tending TO excitement for thespace of one
hour and ten minutes by ST. Pauls clock. The cOun-
tcnances of the ladies were flashed with enchanment
their bosoms palpitated with joy-thelr fine hands
trembled with rapure-iheir pretty little feet patted
the floor with pleasure-and their whole forms trsm-
bled with delight The secrets Of real science
observed always to produce on the female mind,
species of pleasure almost amounting to delrium,
showing, beyond the possibility of doubt, that wo
man, lovely, enchanting adorable woman, possesses
of the rays of the Divinity Of the great
of the Godhead than any other Being yet in exist
ence on this earth. What sort of beings they have in
the other planets we cannot tell, but here Woman was
the last and best Creature that sprung into existence
Her frame-her composition-her mind-her body
her whole Being combines all the better elements of
the principal substances of nalurs after millions Of
years of preparation, mingled and mixed in due proper
TONS with the "occult essence" which, in the Holy
Scriptures is called in the beautiful oriental metaphor,
"thc Breath of Life" Whether superior Being may
not in the lapse Of ages, yet be generated on earth is
problem that yet remains to be solved. 1t highly
probable that many of the combinations of which the
occult elements of Nature are capable have never yet
been made
At the close of Doctor Shllmans lecture, the whole
auditory burst forth in peals of applause The ladies
waved their handkerehiefs- many Of them burst
into tears, while the sunny smile, and the arch dimple
stood upon their cheeks at the same moment We
never saw such an excited audience. Theatres pro-
traced meetings, public orations, political assem-
blaecs were mere circumstances" as they say in
Wisconsin, to the wonderful delight created by the
tonishing first scientific lecture Of the celebrated and
wonderful Professor Sullman, ID. ID. d.. l.. D.
and B. A. H. The Transcript" or any other misera-
bic penny paper, cannot injure Doctor Sdllman by
calling upon him to cure their disorders.
Aueusrks BESEFrr.-The benefit of this distn-
guished artistic was overfowing. Augusta appeared
in a melo-dramatc entertainment called 1.-TWO
Words, or the Silent not dumb"-in which she sang,

During La Bayadere wreaths were thrown upon the
stage, which she received with evident grateful emo
ton She was called for at the conclusion, and was
led on by Mr. Richings, who addressed the audience
on her behalf Not content with this, the delighted
audience called on Simpson, who was warmly cheer

has evinced in his engagements and the plays he has
selected.
