will do them no harm, and it is known that
physicians who had the honesty to make
the trial, have candidly admitted that it has
succeeded in every case they have known.
Then why not use it? 1t is the recipe OF
one of their most respectable members, now
deceased. Why refuse to use it? Because
it is sold as a proprietary medicine Is this a
sufficient excuse for suffering their patients
to linger in distress We think not.
Physicians shall be convinced that there is
no humbug rquackery about this article
Why then not alleviate human suffering?
lfthey wont try it before, let them after all
other prescriptions fail. Physicians are
respectfully requested to do themselves

However, a great quantity of this was stolen or
abstracttd IN some way surreptiuously from the
aaueducts by the oafers of ancient Rome, although
none Of them wore shoes, or stockings. or shirts
The total amount of water said To be delivered by
the public registers kept by the sdes, only amounted
ed to 14ols quinaria the deficient quantity has been
stated TO be equal to N,7i3l00 cubic feet English
ths then would give 50 cubic feetto eachperson and
still some incline to think that this calculation does
not include over half the entire quantity Of water
conveyed by the aqueducts 70 the city for Strabo
has compared il to rivers flowing through the
streets and sewers" The supply Of wells, in ad-
ditisn must have been considerable because when
vitigs besieged Rome some hundreds Of years after
wards he destroyed the aqueducts and yet the nhab
tants far from the river had plenty of water from the
wells.
In the foregoing estimate frequent reference is had

of by Piranes true definition Of seems to have
been gives by any writer. Peleni says IL is pipe
whose diameter Is equal to good sized finger ring,
or three fourths Of an inch. II this was precise

the usual surface the pipes were placed, any da-
tum 10 determine the velocity of the water The

measure, equal 10 five quarters Of the sextarius,
which was about pint but still there is no time
lini who quotes Frontnus says quind,ius is pipe
of the diameter Of five quadrantes, and adds that
quadrans 70 a quarter of pint
This certainly is a nonscnsical statement; for the
ancient re sains show that, on average, the sec
tion of each water could have exceeded an
area of 10 square feet And circular opening be il

There s one curious body of facts which we have

ed I" Regions and the following was the manner in
which the wards were supplied with water:-
Costello, or
Rese,p0irs.

From the reservoirs the water was distributed in
leaden pipes. The greater part sfthese reservoirs
who in the year of his edleship, built for the use
his fellow citizens l3O reservoirs of water and los
public fountains; and employed in adorning them
500 marble or brass statues, and 400 marble
lumns.
We have before alluded to the mana cement Of our
modern aqueduct; and it may not, therefore be to-
tally uninteresng to give account OF the manner
in which the Roman aqueducts were managed. The
care of them aaciently belonged to ediles and cen
sors. Afterwards, through the instrumentality Of
Agrippa particular magistrates were appointed to
manage them, (not sa-makers and shoemakers, like
Stephen Allen and Saul Alley) and these were called
" Curateres Aquarium" Messala was curator Of
the aqueducts under Augustus; and Julius SeXtus
Frontinus curator under Nerva. These had
72s men under them, paid by the public to keep them
in repair; these men were divided into two bodies
the enc called publica, first instituted by Agrippa
under Augustus. consisting of 200; the ether Fam
Tia C9saris, Of AGO. instituted by the Emperor Clau-
dus. The slaves employed in taking of the
water were called Aquarii Then there was a per-
son employed To measure the height whence water
might be brought and he was called Librdtor; the
instrument which he used was called 4guariG Iii
bra The curator, himself, or perJectes aquarium
was invested by Augustus with considerable auth@
rity; attended without the city by two or three c-
tors, three public slaves, architect, secretaries
&c. sc hence under the later enperors he was
called |" Corsuaris Aquarium
Whether aqueduct managers will ever arrive
at such honors and dignities those Of old Rene,
remains to be seen, but although we have means
of knowing what sums they paid and altho ugh
neither Frontinus, nor Vihuvius, nor Longinus nor
Livy nor Pliny, Procopius, any of them have

Capt. 5 upon boarding her, found her sails in bad

was sick, and all the white people had been washed

reported by the Joha f. Davidson with large eagle

He towed her until dark about 30 miles, when hear

She chased the Bark Hercules, also at Philadel-

Pines and attempted to board her, but fortunately the
Hercules escaped. She has been searly a
dozen times and each account corro5orates the one
previously given. According TO this last account
she has been for fourteen days in our waters.

but suppose this she has captured the slaver.-
