MK. MILFORD, Of Saint Johns College,
Cambridge, in his very pleasing narrative of
a visit TO Norway, gives the following &C
count of his encounter with u family OF
Laplanders
The next morning, 9th August, was
rainy, and the hills were covered with clouds;
we breakiasted at four, on broiled caper-
cailzie, and brandy and water, but were
weather bound at Rovignon till three clock,
p. NJ, when We embarked in two small and
crazy boats OH Lake Lmingen. There
was far more motion than liked, the ma
ture of Our vessels being duly considered -
We were, however, safely landed on some
rocks, after row of ten English miles, and
then set off to walk four more, partly
through woods. In our route we passed
by setter hut, where, as | have before
remarked, the peasants who pasture theil
cows in the neighborhood, keep theil
milk, cream, and cheeses. We mex
crossed some barren mountains, and, a
about halfpast seven, our guide Ohe Lapp,
desired us not to fire at pack of ptarmigan

A group Of five African dwarfs, OF the
tribe OF Bosesmans, or Bush People, are
now exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, in Pic
cadilly-and are the most curious of all the
human curiOsities that in an age Astounding
in such impor,ations have solicited the at
tention Of the sightseers or scientific mqni-
rers of the metropolis. They are Of the
very lowest type Of humanity-lit,le above
the monkey tribe-and with habits and pro-
pensities scarcely distinguishing them from
the brutes. Here, in the very midst of an
overdone civilization, is the natural man
caught in his very lowest stage Of develop
ment; and the moral philosopher may specu-
late usefully on the analogies between the
brutes whom civilization in its excuses
makes, and those who are so for want of it.
On the first introduction of these dwarls to
an English public, DR.. Knox lectured on
their nature, properties, and habits, at Exc
ter Hall; and in their present exhibition
room they exhibit such feats Of activity and
methods Of warfare as grow in the g bush,
and are gathered by pigmies. - London

For the Removal and Permanent Cure OF all

Lepra or Leprosy is a cutaneous disorder, APP
pearing on various parts of The body in whilish
dry scabs, which continue to spread until it be-
comes continent, and the parts swell TO an enor-
nous extent. II is Of ancient origin, and was well
known to the Romans, Greeks and Arabans, be-
ing considered disease inflicted by lransgres-
sion. A Leper was looked upon as an oucast
from society. Leprosy bears close resemblance
TO Scrofula; hence il is transmitted from sire TO
SON, and many lepers may be saen even al the
presen, day. Its peculiar characteristics are
white scabs, which, being displaced, leave red
spot, and another scab is soon formed, varying in
size, depressed in the middle, but always having
nearly circular form.
II is believed there is no disease without an
appropriate remedy. The truth in this instance
is fully verified, and the facts are amply proved.
SANDS'S SARSAPARILLA has laid The mon

rendered, this medicine will exert its healing and
restoring powers, by displacing diseased action,
