SHELBY COUNTY, State of Tennessee.
 This is to certify that my negro woman, Harriet, was for four years afflicted with a very bad cancer. which took of a consid- erable portion of her nose, ate through her upper lip, attacked her throat and destroy ed a part of the roof of her mouth and palate Several of the most celebrated cancer doctors tried to cure it, put in vain. Dr. B R. Thomas undertook it, but not with the expectation of performing cure, for he believed 1t to be too far gone, and out of the reach of remedy; but to test the power and efficacy of new remedy, he tried the experiment. He has removed all cancerous appearances and healed the lip, nose and throat, to all appearance perfectly sound and we'll, which consider to be the greatest cure 1 have ever seen in my life. Also, have three negroes afflicted with dropsy-one of them a woman about 50 years of age and bad case; all three were cured in a short time by Dr. Thomas. From my personal acquaintance with the doctor and his practice, most cheerful ly recommend him to the public and all those afflicted with cancers, chronic and lingering diseases, as gentleman and skill ful phy scian; believing as 1 do, if there is ahy cure for them lie he has the remedy.

The New Movement In Philosophy

There is a remarkable philosopher, recently
from Germany, who is now delivering a series
of lectures upon natural history and its wonders,
at the medical school of Crosby street College.
This distinguished saoant is professor of ply
siology and natural history in the alma mater of
New England, Harvard university-an institu-
ton distinguished by numerousripe scholars and
fully formed philosophers. Professor Agassiz is,
we believe, a native of Germany, a country
famed for philosophy and learning in all its de-
partments. He has been only few years in this
country but in that short time has acquired in
New England the highest reputation as a great,
learned and original genus. The lectures which
he is now delivering in this city are attended by
some of the most accomplished persons of both
sexes the apartment, it is true, is rather small.
but makes up for its diminutive size by crowdinp
into the smallest possible space. The professor
is listened to with profound attention, and is
admired with the deepest admiration. His ideas
are caught up with all the enthusiasm of youth
and both sexes, all ages, and all sects of religion
and literature in this city, listen in bursting
wonder and establishment TO the revelations
which he makes in science and natural history.
The philosopher himself is comparatively a
young man, but he is old in ideas and mature in
experience.
These lectures, and the popularity they have
attained in this city, indicate the intellectual
direction Of the age. The material world, with
all it's mountains and oceans and rivers and fos-
sill remains, are the results of minute and slow
processes, almost escaping the observation of
the human mind, or even the divisions of time
itself. The history of the human race is mark
ed by similar features General ideas are slow
in transition but certain ages of society are dis
nguished by particular movements, which lead

Both united pay the management better than they
do divided. There is ballet company at the
Broadway theatre, ofvery good materials, though
not Of the same rank as those which may be seen
in the higher institutions of Paris or London
The principal members have much more force and
power than they have grace. They may be
ranked with the second or third rate artists of
Paris; but by no means can be compared with
those in the higher ranks of the art. The mana
ger, however, who has brought them forward,
has shown much enterprise and tact, and de-
serves we'll OF the public for his efforts to please
But the great taste of the day, in this city,
seems to be for the highest style of Italian opera.
We have alluded to the one in operation;
another is preparing, and will be ready for
action in few weeks, in an opera house up
town. This company is represented to be
very complete, as whole, though it contains no
name OF great celebrity in the art. In Europe
every Italian artist of superior talent requires
the sanction of London and Paris, and then his
rank is undisputed. The Astor Place Company
must make Its way by its own efforts; but we are
sorry to hear there is little difficulty among the
members, which seems to affect all Italian CON-
panes beyond the discipline of the English DO
lice. The taste of this city for operate music is
improving every ia patronage bestowed
on IT proves the fact. In other branches of the
drama, the taste may be more varied, but it is
more general. The Bowery, the Chatham. the
Olympic, and all the other theatres of that class
are profitable concerns. They are far better than
the corn speculations of the last year, or the cot
ton speculatlons Of the present day,
