| A MnpScAr DlscovERY.-Ay young doc
,pr Of ths Pans Faculty of Medicine has
ust made discovery which we deem Of
Importance to communicate TO our readers
NeuraIc affections are, ofall others, the most
impervious tothe art Of medicine. NJ. Der
terne, profoundly convinced of the insult
fciency Of the science in those affections, SO
common and SO terrible, has devoted him
self zealously TO the researches upon the
physiological action Of the nervous system.
Taking, for the starting point ofhis re-
searches, the remarkable results ofthe cure
of Neuralgia by the cauterisarion Of the"he-
lix" he has discovered method of curing,
instantaneously, and without disturbing any
organ, all Neuralgia affections of the head,
attacks of megrium, and pans resulting
from teeth In an advanced state of decay
VIVA, renders this discovery truly marve-
lous, is the promptness, at once, ofthe cure,
and its perfect success in more than two
hundred cases, which havepresented them
selves since the 22nd ofDecember, the date
of the first experiments.
M. Dcsterne purposes presenting to the
Academy of Medicine memoir upon this
important discovery. The presentation of
the memoir is oniy retarded by the hope
which the author entertains of preventing
by the same means, hystericaland epilephc
attacks, and his desire to make more COM
plete work. Courier des Etats Umis.
ANOTHER FUGIrIvE SLAVE CASE AT
PmLADELPHn-An negro woman and her
child, claimed as Improperly ofJohh Per-
due, of Baltimore county, Md were arres-
ted at Columbia pa on Thursday OF last
week, and taken to Philadelphia for hear
ing before United States Commissioner In
graham. They ran away in 1919. A ha-
beas corpus was taken out before Judge
Kane, of the United States District Court
upon the hearing of which many witnesses
on both sides were examined, presenting
much contradictory testimony, The mat
ter was eventually disposed of yesterday,
when the Judge decided that the slaves
should be remanded to their owner, and
they peacefully left Philadelphia for their

DOCTOR TOM CORWIN.-The wing pa
pers of the country have generally published
n story put in circulation, at Dayton, by Mr..
Corwin, to the effect that he had cured the
clerks in his department of a chronic laziness
which prevailed there extensively under the
name of sickness, by prescribing as remedy,
death or resignation, after a given notice. The
Union, at Washington, takes the wit out of this
prescription, and turns the tables with crushing
severity upon the buffoon secretary, by show.
ing that Mr. CoRwIy has absented himself from
his official duties, full three ffths of the time
since his appointment, under the pretext Of
sickness! and that at the very time when he
waspromulgating the story, he was on furlough
in Ohio, as an invalid, where he still remains,
as such! According to his own prescription,
therefore, as established in his own department
he is expected to either die or resign" But
he won't do it. The'copper-colored gentleman
is too gooda quack, financially and every other
way, to take his own medicine, especially
where the loss of an Office is involved.

HAYTI-Who are the Dominicans?-
War has again broken out in this
Island, the scene of SO many massa-
cres. From the time when Charles
X. acknowledged the independence
of Hayti--which from the expulsion
of the French to that period, had been
looked upon as a revolted colony
there has been nothing like stable
government or permanent peace in
that fertile country. The soil yields
its valuable products all but sponta-
neously; but the indolent blacks are
almost to lazy to gather them. The
present Emperor Solouque, who
changed the republic into a despo:ism
one fine morning, without saying by
your leave to the people, is said to
be man Of more talent than often
distinguishes the Individuals of his
race. But he is cruel and arbitrary,
and seems to have an itch for con-
quest. The occupation of COM
paratively small portion Of the Island
by rhites and half breeds, principally
the latter, who live under a free gov
eminent, and call themselves the
Dominican Republic, ofends the
swarthy despot it seems. He wishes
to enlarge the area of his sovereignty
to be absolute throughout the Is
land. He has waged war with the
Dominic once with that object;
but failed to accomplish it. His
forces are now in the field second
time, and they have sustained de-
feat in the very first battle, which
took place on the It'll inst, and the
blacks are reported to have lost 40
killed. The number of their wounded
is not stated. Possibly the table may
be turned on the imperial negro, and
Hayti conquered by the Dominicans.
This is scarcely probable, however,
as the blacks are by far the most nu-
merous.

BLACKBERRY SYRUp.-The following
is correct receipt for making a syr-

for children:
Two quarts of Blackberry juice,
Half or. Nutmeg powdered,
Half or. Cinnamon, do
Half OF. Allspice, do.
Half or. Cloves do
Boil them together to get the
strength of the spices and to preserve
the juice. While hot, add a quart OF
fourth proofFrench brandy and sweet
en- it with loaf sugar. Give child
two teaspoonful three times a day
and add to the quantity, if the dis
ease be not checked. Increase the
dose according to the age.

The Cholera

We ANNOUNCED in our last, had,
just previous to our going to press, at
tackled Mrs. Stripe, wife of w. c..
Stripe, Maj. Jacob Hunor, and Mr.. A..
G. Beamish, of Keokuk, at the Eagle
Hotel. Before we had SC arcely COM
pleted working off our edition, they
had ceased to livc-having in a few
hours been swept off by that dire
pestilence, the cholera. Another
person Mr.. X. Curr formerly of Quin-
cy, was taken about that time, and
died the next morning, at 3 o'clock.
The funeral of the four took place
about 8 o'clock, A. M. the same day,
Saturday. After the funeral, in the
afternoon, we believe, Miss Iowa An
derson, sister to Mrs. Stripe and an
old lady, Mrs. Adamson were attack
ed. Miss Anderson lived until the
next day, Sunday, when she died.
Mrs. Adamson fingered until Monday
afternoon when she expired. On
Sunday, George Cronwall, hostler
at the Eagle Hotel started down in
the country, two or three miles, but,
before he had reached the house
where he had designed going, he
was attacked, and was carried to
the house, Mr.. Church's, where he
died early Monday morning. A wild
ow lady by the name of Simmons, re-
siding at Mr.. C.'s was attacked the
same day and died Tuesday morning
She had previously lived while at
the Aagle Hotel, and, it is said,
Mr.. Cornwall and her were en-
gagged to be married the first of Au-
gust. Mrs. Church was taken down
on Wednesday and died on Thurs
day morning. A son of w. b. Ad-
amson was taken on Thursday about
l o'clock and died sometime near
the same day. These are
all the cases, we believe, which have
come to our knowledge, and, from
present appearances, we think there
will not be any more.-Ft. Madison.

AN IMBECILE ADMINISTRATIONS
cry mail and express arrival from the Rio Grande
frontier, is loaded with complaints of Indian
dcfencelese citizens. From all accounts the in
habitants there enjoyed better protection under
the Mexican government than from our own.--
This state Of things reflects deep and lasting
disgrace upon the executive administration at
Washington. whose members have spent the
whole summer in frolicking and electioneering
excursions; the more especially SO, as the last
Congress increased the rank and file of the
army by several thousand men, for the express
purpose Of more effcctually protecting this same
frontier. A day Of severe reckoning is at hand!
