him a singular resemblance to the beau
tiful head Of our Saviour. If they tried
to perplex him, and said, If thou art
Him whom thou pretendest; in short. If
thou art God, break thy chains and lib
crate thyself 2" He Immediately, with
pride and dignity, replied, "1n vain shalt
thou tempt thy Lord ?" The .sublimity
of human arrogance In arrangement!
The life Of this man was complete ro-
nance, in which religious enthusiasm
played the first part. He had made pill
grimages on foot to Cologne and Rome'
and had then embarked for America,
where, among the savages, he risked his
life in the hope of converting them to the
true faith. But all these travels, all these
VOYAGES had the melancholy effect Of
turning his ruling idea into a monomania.
On his return to France, he publicly an
nounced himself as Him whose gospel
he had been preaching far and wide.
Seized and brought before the Archbish-
op of Paris, he was shut up in the Bice-
tire as lunatic, his hands and feet were
loaded with heavy irons. and for twelve
years he bore with singular patience, this
long martrydom, and the incessant sar'
casms to which he was exposed.
Argument with such minds is useless
they neither can nor will understand it.
Pinel, therefore, never attempted to rea-
son with him he unclaimed him in ST.
lence, and loudly commanded that every
one for the future should initiate his re-
serve, and never address single word
to this poor lunatic. This line Of conduct
which was vigorously observed, produced
an effect on this self-conceited man fan
more powerful than the irons and the
dungeon. He felt himself humbled by
this isolation, this total abandonment ii
the full enjoyment of his liberty. A
length, after much hesitation, he begar
to mix with the other invalids. From
that time forward he visibly improved
and in less than year was sufficiently
recovered to acknowledge the folly of hi
former ideas, and to leave the Bicetre.
n
Fifty lunatics were in this manner re
leased from their chains in the space Of I
few days. Among them were individu
ais from every rank of life, and from ev
cry country. Hence the great anchor
alton in the treatment of insane patients
which, until then, have been looked or
as impracticable, or at least fraught with
the utmost danger

NEW ENGLAND JUBrLEE.

The Journal Of Commerce at the sug-
gestion Of a correspondent calls an as
semblage in New England, some time in
the year 1850, of all the natives of Yam
kee land, resident in all parts of the
world. That paper justly says that scat
tered as are the msmbers "of that great
family, far and wide over the country
and throughout the world, it is due to
each other and their ancient mother, to
gather around the old Hearthstone once
in half century, and recount their va
ried experiences. call up "reminiscences of
the past, and cheer each other on to fresh
achievements. Such meeting, in the
capital of New England, would be one
of the most interesting and memorable
assemblages ever convened on this
earth"
The communication which suggests
this novel Congress gives detailed plan
for perfecting the arrangement. 1t sug-
gests
/. Let New England emigrants return
| to their native counties in the third week
of August, 1850, and have such loca]
gatherings as county committees may
suggest.
2. On the fourth week of August
1850, let the New England Jubilee be
held in Boston 'and along Shore
3. Let as many eminent preachers as
there are New England States, be cho'
sen by the Boston Committee, to pre-,
pare and deliver discourses simultane'
ously on the first day of the Jubilee.
Let the afternoon and the evening o.
the first day be devoted to mutual greet
ings, at designated halls, and to socia
gatherings.
5. Let a grand procession move arounc
Bunker Hill, on the morning of the sec
ond day, and return to Boston Common
There let emigrants and residents gathe
around their several orators like Webster
Choate, Winthrop, Prentiss, Cass, Fill
more, &C., previously designated. If tn
Common won't hold the crowd, send ;
detachment to Plymouth, and another tt
Lexington and another to Bunker Hill.
\ 6. Let dozen collations be provided
for 5000 each, land all with cold Coch
ituate, and nothing else) around which
the tribes may gather in the afternoon
for eating, speaking, singing, laughing
or weeping, according to moods ant
tastes.
7. If fireworks and all that b
thought necessary to crafty the younl
folks, they may be INDUCED in ad tbitun'
We wish we could promise such thun
der storm finale, as put the crown o
glory on the Berkshire festival.
There is no spotin the world but Bos
ton where such plan could be realized
and none but New Englanders woul'
wish Or could appreciate such an occa
sion. This can be held, if the Yankee
will it.
We trust that some of the genuin
cold Puritan" stock will take the matte
in hand here, and fully second any ef
lo'oS from abfoau "a accomplish the ju
bilee.

LOUIS PHILIPPE'S RAMB1ES IN

Pleasing Incidents of his life, several of
which happened while he was travelling

are full of interest as matters of history,
and well adapted to the pencil. These
scenes transpired during the Kings
travels from Erie to Buffalo; to the vii
lagos Of the Seneca Indians, thence to
Canandaigua, padding his own canoe
through Senaca lake to Ithica, thence on
foot with his knapsack on his back, to
the Tioga river. where having purchas-
ed an Indian canoe, he descended that
river. and thence through the valley of
Wyoming. He also travelled among the
mountains of Pennsylvania and Virginia,
and in canoe descended the Ohio and
Mississippi to New Orleans. During
all this route, he and his companions
slept out under the open sky, and sub
sisted upon what they could collect from
the rivers and forests"

what it is supposed to be, it will instant

Yours, B.
The Buffalo Courier has upon this
important subject the following state
ments of a person whom the Editors
know to be of good character and Judge
ment
Our informant was by chance in Chi
cago, Friday, May 25th, when Dr. Bird
first administered his remedy to perso ms
attacked with the choleka. These ca
SEES were persons living twelve miles out
of the city, Irish laborers on the Chica-
60 and Galena railroad. In company
with DR.. Bird and DR.. Herrick and three
other physicians he visited, them for the
purpose of seeing the effect of the ex-
pertinent.
On arriving at the station it was found
that one of the FIVE patients was already
dead. Of those living. one was man.
two were women, and the remaining one
child four or five years Of age. The
man was pronounced by the physicians
to be in a collapsed state. Whether the
remainder were or not, our informant is
not positive. In the language of physi-
clans, the man had "no pulse" that is
to say, his pulse was hardly perceptible.
The women were vomiting and purging
excessively.
DR.. Bird Immediately administered
the pills. In the course of ten minutes
he gave one of the women three of them.
The limited time afforded to the visit
ers prevented fair observation of the
effects of the medicine. Their stay was
limited to three-quarters of an hour, the
time being the afternoon. Upon the ar
rival of the cars in Chicago the next NOR
ming the patients were all reported doing
we'll, with the fairest prospect of recov.
cry.
The next day, the remedy was tried
upon two cases in Chicago and both re-
covered from the attack.
The opinion or recommendation Of DR..
Bird is that in any locality where the dis
ease is prevalent, it is proper precau-
ton to take one of the pills in the morn.

| every two hours until relief il found

The Cholera cure i'm CHICAGO,

We annex a letter from a valued cor.
respondent at Chicago in relation to the
new discovery made by DR.. Bird of a
cure for the Cholera. If it be what is
claimed for it, DR.. Bird will long be re-
membered as one of the benefactors OF
humanity. We trust immediate meas
ures will be taken by the Faculty here
to test the true value of this discovery.
We have anothesl letter from Chicago as
suring us that the theory of Dr.. Bird
has been almost universally received:
Chicago, Hl;noss J
June, LIST, 1910.
Considerable excitement has been &C.
casioned here. recently, by the discovery
Of new and perfect remedy for the
Cholera. DIR. J. II. Bird, whose name
will soon be on every tongue, is the dis
coverer--he is practical physician of
this city. About six months since his
attention was called to the subject by
reading an article from German Chem
list In one of the medical periodicals,
in which it was commended that Influenza
depended upon the presence of ozone, and
chemical analysis proved that the num-
Der of attacks was always in proportion
to the amount Of ozone in the atmos-
phere.
DIR. Bird next set himself to work to
ascertain what agent would counteract
the influence and destroy the deleterious
properties Of ozone. His superior chem
zeal knowledge enabled him to suggest
suggest the well known substance, sal
lohaT, as possessing the properly of act
ing upon it in such measure as to neu-
tralize its influence. In his investiga-
tons he found that the Cholera had new
er prevailed in the vicinity of sulphur
springs, or in situations where sulphur is
abundant, hence the conclusion that sui
Phur might be, and probably is, the an
tidote for Cholera. DR.. Birds expert.
NETS have shown that ozone is present in
the atmosphere at this time, and that the
amount is in proportion to the severity
of the disease from time to time.
About a week since, DR.. Bird deter
mined to try the effect of sulphur upon
himself and others troubled with uneasy
slight pains, &c. in the d.
gestive organs. The result was entirely
satistactory-so much SO that he imme-
diately requested several of the first ply
sicians of this city to test its efficacy in
their practice. They have Just reported
that they are convinced of its efficacy.
They say :" the result Of the use of this
remedy is wonderful" All the premon- |
tory symptoms Of the cholera, such as |
palms, 9 sense Of fullness, UNNATURAL
movements. slight diarrhea. &c., have
