A few days ago some strollipg women,
more generally known as " organ grinders"
posted themselves at the corner OF the st.
Charles charaelhouse, and commenced
grinding music that would take the life of
all the cats in the Metropolis; but the tunes
were SO sweet, and the air so exhiirating
that an Honorable Member of The Coagress
OF the United States, commenced a regular
dance on the street and euen tired out the
hage arm of the organist! This is not ro-
nance-it is sober truth, and was witness

expected from American legislation when

Mr.. EDITOR: If you want bird's-eye
view of human life, come to this city, and
you will be gratified. You will here see
human nature in all its phases, its dignity
as well as its degradation. The sin of in
temperance prevails here to very great ex-
tent, and its blighting influences are seen
in almost every quarter. A few choice
spirits have come up boldly to the work,
but the human license law is more than
sufficient TO defeat the inhumane exertons
of those enlisted in the good cause.

New York not long since analysed bottle
of imported champagne, sold as pure, and
found in il one quarter of an ounce of sugar

that liquor dealer admitted to him that on
one occasion he purchased of country
merchant lot of whiskey, and before the
merchant left the city sold him back part
of it manufactured into various kinds of

NTASHIN GTON MEDICAL INSTI-

Y n T.
w TUTE.--Thc Undersigned pruprietors Of
the Institute having completed arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress, are now ready
to receive students.
This institution is intended to afford instruction
to Medical Students not only by the common mode
of private pupilage, (by which the preceptor, by
more imperous calls on his attention. is denied time
sufficient TO do more than to direct the students in
course of study, and perhaps to as few gen.
eral questions on each author, but Is designed to
offer the student all those facilities to acquire med
ical education, which are afforded by daily lee
lures and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to instruction. as iIIustra-
TIoss by drawings, dry and wet anatomical prep
arahons, pathological specimens, and chemical ex
periments; also, demonstrations by manual and in
strumenal operations the obstetrlc phantCme, and
the application OF surgical apparatus and bandages.
lhe art OF prescribing and compoundng medicines
will be practically taught; and especial care will
be taken to give the student practical acquain-
tance with the modern mode Of investigation and
diagnosis by ausculation and percussion, sc.
The course of instruction is intended 10 equal
the highest standard of medical educ in this
country, and every incentive and facility TO an
dent and persevering cultivation of the principles of
the science will be afforded, to beget spirit
of inquiry that will rest satisfied wi the acqu
sition Of the period of pupilage.
The annual course of instruction will embrace
two sessions. The first, from the scco nd Monday
OF November till the last of February, will be de-
voted wholly to full examinations on the subjects
lectured on in the Columbian Medical College.
1 ne second session will commence on the second
Monday of March and terminate the las t of Octo-
Der: during which instruction will be gi, zen on the
various branches OF medicine by lectures and daily
examinations students may enter for on or both
sessions Terms 500 per annum paya BILE in adj
