The New York Observer some lime
since remarked, in substance, that no anti
slavery newspaper in this country had
ever supported itself. Very true. How
could they expect that papers established
to effect moral reform-and not to make
money-would be sustained without con-
.lnual sacrifices! Do they not know that
money making paper will often succumb
TO popular prejudice-take an equivocal
part on the leading topics Of the day-and
frequently take the side Of eviI-doers, rath-
er than lose subscribers, or forego the
great object before them. viz, amassing

SPONTANEOUS Combustion.-A singular

Spontaneous Combustion singular

Cured at Hartford, Cou., in consequence
of the absorption of small quantity of
linseed oil by sponge. The oil had
been spilled on the floor of a store, and
was wiped up by coarse spunge, and
placed on the shelf; and in less than three
hours after, it was discovered to be on fire.
Since this extraordinary property of pro-
ducing combustion. by combination with
raw cotton or sponge, has been discovered
in linseed oil, it seems wonderful that ac-
cidents have not more frequently occurred
Through its means. And it can not be
doubted, that many of the fires. which
have been attributed to incendiaries, have
been occasioned by spontaneous combus-
ton. We hope people will learn, and

SINGULAR EPIDEMIC.

4 singular malady, which has recently
made its appearance among the ladies, has
excited much speculation in the medical
world As the victims of this complaint
obstinatey reject all advice, and deIcacv
forbids a close and accurate examination
Of the parts affected we have been com
PEELED to resort to conjecture, and to adopt
such conclusions as external appearances
would seem to indicate.
Judging by this imperfect mode Of OBJ
servation, we suppose that an enormous
tumor, Of the wart or wen species, has
been produced by the operation of some
unknown cause over the lower region Of
the spine.-That it is a calIous excresence,
may be inferred from the absence of all
pain and inflammation. which could scarcely
exist TO any great extent without affecting
seriously the general health; and it is a
remarkable feature in this disease, that
the fair sufferers seem to be utterly insen-
sibe 10 the danger Of their situation, and
indulge, without restraint, in their usual
amuscments. We have had no means Of
ascertaining the exact superficial extent Of
this tumor; but its apparent ma gnitude va
ries in different persons, and frequently
huctuatcs in the same individual. Neither
have we been able TO determine its con-
sistency, or whether the cyst, which con-
tains it, is connected with the BODY by a
narrow neck; or whether it adheres TO the
surface through the whole extent of its APP
parent clongation. In shape, it resembles
a cylinder stretching horizontally across
the back, with its truncated extremites
protruding on each side beyond the circum-
ference of the waste.
This uncommon affection, is confined to
the softer sex; and as, upon its first advent
in this country, it ragged principally in the
cities, its origin was hastily ascribed to
some floating miasma in the local atmoS-
phere, or 10 the habits of diet and exercise
peculiar to a crowded population. But be-
fore the truth Of this hypothesis could be
tested by experiment and observation, tie
hypothesis itself was completely exploded
BY the fact, that he malady had spread
with unexampled rapidity into the most
secluded districts of the country. Indeed.
some of the most gigantic specimens ofthis
portentous excresence which we have ever
encountered were found in very retired
situations; yet as the disease in the same
vicinities was by no means universally DIFF
fused, the cases in question were probably
sporadic.
Various coniectures have been hazarded
as TO the efficient cause Of this phenomo-
non.
The most plausible hypothesis yet pro-
posed as a solution OF the difficulty is, that
