Hebrew Plaster is becoming popular in this

for some time with an enlargement Of the
Spleen, which gave her a great deal OF pam,
tho swelling and pain had extended nearly up
to the arm pit, and occasionally she could
scarcely breathe. She was confined tor a con-
siderable time, during which she was attended
BY some Of our best physicians, but they gave
her no relief, she procured a box Of the Hebrew
Plaster audit relieved her almost Immediately.

pRETENrIoUs DIGNITY.

Among the countless deceptions passed
off on our s!am-ridden race, let me direct
your attention 10 the deception Of dignity,
as il is ore which includes many others.
Among hose terms which have long ceas
ed to have any vital meaning, the word
dignity deserves disgraceful promnence e.
No word has fallen so readily as this into
the designs Of cant. impc sture and pretense:
none has paved so we'll the part OF verbal
scare crow 10 irinh,en children OF all ages
and both sexes. 1t is at once the thlnnest
and most elective Of all the coverings un-
der Wi ) N0cedom sueaks and skuks.
Most Of ift n!en OF G'cniiy. who a,.e'sor
bore their more genial brethren, are simply
men possessing the ar, Of passig off their
inaensibiIi,p for wisdom, their dnl'ness for
depth. and Of roncealing imbeciity Of in
tellect under harchiinpss OF manner. Their
success in this small game is one of the
stereotype satlrrs on mankind. Once strip
from these pretenhers their stolen garments,
once disconnect their show OF dignity frum
their real meanness, and they would stand
shverlng and delenceless object, of the
tears Of pity, or target. for the arrows of
scorn. Butt, IS the misfortune Of This
worlds affairs, that offices, filly occupied
only by talent and genius, which dasp'se
rrerence, should be filled by respectable
stupidity and dirniticd emptiness, 10 whom
pre'encn is the very soul Of life. Manner
riumphs over matter; and throughout so.
cety, politics, letters and science, we are
doomed TO meet a swarm Of ounces and
wind-bars, disguised as gentlemen, states
men. and scholars. Colaridge once saw.
a, dinner table, a d;cnified man with a
face wise as the moons. Tho awful charm
of his manner was not broken until the
muflins appeared, and then the imp of

"Them's the Jockeys for mel" A good
number ofsuch dign,arians remain undis-

THE PACIFIC RAIL RoAD.-Books have
been opened at ST. Louis for subscriptions
to a Rail Road, to run from that city west
wardly to the western limits of the State
of Missouri, so that l, may strike the Inc
of Rail Road that may be established TO ex-
tend TO the Pacific. On closing the books
on Saturday evening, the 9th INST, it ap-
peared that the amount of S305,50O had
been subscribed in the course Of the week.
The books were to be re-opened on the
Monday following, and confident expec-
ta,ion appears 10 be entertained, that the
subscriptions there would amount 10 half a
million. The city authorities also were
expected 10 subscribe similar amount TO
the project. Books were also 10 be opened
at various other places in the State. and
the most sansuine hopes appear to be en-
tertained Of the success OF this enterprise,
which is pronounced 10 be "IRc Great

GADDERS AND VISITANTS.

We are willing 10 barter our good time

a Genuine guest and the visitant. This
latter takes your good time and gives you
his bad in exchange. The guest is domcs
tic TO you as your good cat or domestic
household bird; the visitanl is your fly that
flaps IN al the window and out again, leav-
ing nothing but sense Of disturbance, and
victuals spoiled. Visi,ants always show
their genius, in knocking the moment you
have just sat down to book. They have
peculiar compassionate sneer, with which
they "hope they do rot interrupt your sta

next student that they can call their friend.

notice a mis.s,aIemnnt has crept into
the columns of the Gazette. The men
murdered were William p. Barham and
John G. Ellbeck-not Thomas.
The murder occurred about Il-perhaps
a quarter after, on Sunday night. They
were walking up Nam street.-The proof
seems TO be that they had turned above the
Episcopal Church, and were returning
when they saw negro crossing ever from
the same side Of the stree, they were on.
with load of some kind on his shoulders.
He was crossing between the Academy lot
and the Presbyterian Church; one Of them
remarked, "we must look into this" They
crossed over themselves and were seen 10

the other colared him. rlen'y of npcroe $

three or four were standing on Dr.. Ewing
corner, not exceeding so steps from the
place they occupied. A few worAs--a
slight scuGle, and EIlback was seen TO
hump himself and start down the street. -
He proceeded about so steps and 'el! dead.
Barham raised stick, made a few steps
and fell in the act Of striking.
Both were stabbed 10 the heart; one blow
each was all that was given. There are
negroe, that know who did 1t, but will
not tell.
The supposed murderer is in jail, a negro
Of Benneu's. Spots of blood were found
on the righ, arm and collar of his coat. HIS
dress on ,ha, night, was just such as de-
scribed by those who saw the murder com.
mitted. He was close to where his wife
lived and going in that very direction. 1t
was necessary. in order to reach his wile's
house, that he should 60 the very street he
did. He boards himself; hence the temps

the boy is tanner and may have got the
blood on his clothes by handling green
hides.

will spare no pains to ierrc, out the guilty
party and bring him to justice.

QrEsTIoN.-I have several bills for
clothing against young gentlemen whose
fathers are able to pay but refuse. AS they
are minors, cannot sue them, but are moi
their fathers responsible?
ANswER.-No. They must provide for
their maintenance, but are not answerable
for debts otherwise contracted. The fault
is entirely with tradesmen and storekeep-
ers, who give credit TO a minor on the
strength of his fathers capabiliy of pay.

if they were 10 say 10 the son, "Brng me
an order from your father and will sup>
ply you with what you require, and not
without it," there would be no difficulty
Half of the follies and extravaganza Of
young men arise from the facility Of OBJ
tanning credit on their fathers name; and
many fathers, rather than have trouble,
pay the bill when they should refuse 10
pay it firmly, as it only encourages young
men in lie of idIeness and extravagance.
Any person trusting a minor without an
