with an infant in her arms, approached the ONCE
The babe was screaming to the top Of its voice,
but the mother appeared wholly unconscious OF
it's cries. Her face was flushed with the hope
that she should hear the success OF her favorlte
numbers. But she was doomed to disappoint-
ment On entering the office, she was told that
the figures she had bet upon were unsuccessful
We never saw such a change OF expression In so
short a time. AS she escaped the threshold oil the
Office her countenance was pallid, her whole as
pect bore the marks Of deepest anguish. The
cries of her child now first seemed to attract
her notice. But every other emotion was Sxal'
lowed up in her keen sense Of the lOss OF her adj
venture We were anxious to know her condl-
ton and followed her home. 1t was in the base
ment of miserable tenement In Pearl-st. she
had four other children. the eldest OF whom was
not more than eight years OF age. They were al
most naked. They had nothing to sleep on but
one wretched straw bed, and few old rags. Not
aspark of fire was in the room. There was no
food, but a scant supply OF cold fragments, fur
nished by family that lived in the next room,
and which they were devouring with the voraclty
of starving pigs The mother, we found on IN
qury, to be hard working woman, OF temperate
habits and addicted to no vice but her fatal pro-
pensity to lottery gambling The father was In
temperate, and spent all Of his earnings for rum.
We left this scene of squalid misery, with fresh
sense of the untold evils, which emanste from the
fashionable sources, to which we have alluded
And are they to remain in the high places of eur
city, in defiance of the law Of the land, in con-
tempt of public morality, in outrage OF the dear

leve our social state Of the intolerable nuisance
Must the reeking mouth of the bottomless pit be
daintily concealed with flowers, through sickly
aversion to beholding the horrible reality in all its
naked and loathsome ghastliness Forbid it, We

The Suppression Of Quackery.

A cores pondent in whose integrity we have
full confidence sends US detailed account of i'm
positions upon and distractions of money from
the people of Middetown Point, NJ. by a self
proclaimed NJ D. from this City, who promised
to cure every thing yet really cared nothing, Jun
less perhaps, credulity,) boasted of his high So
cial standing here, his magnificent wedding, resi-
dence in Broadway, carriages, &c. whereof moth
ing but the remembrance seemed to have been
preserved, and, having thus cut a swell for some
weeks and harvested whatever dollars were come
at able, finally left probably to resume his City
practice, such as it was. The Doctors story would
undoubtedly be quite other than this but this is
our correspondents, narrated with much feeling,
and vehemently urging the necessity of further
legislation and legal nquisition to protect the
simple and unwary from the brazen arts of med-
cal charlatans.
We beg leave to demur. The measures recon-
men ed by our correspondent are quite vigorous,
but we have high authority for believing that even
braying in q mortar will not prevent some peoples
acting like geese, and our correspondent proposes
no action so decided as that. The real evil has
its seat in popular ignorance and credulity. If
man advertises Resurrection Pills certain to
cure every thing from cancer to the hopping
cough, the least grain of common sense should
suffice to assure the reader that he is quack to
be marked and avoided. So when q strange doc
tor drops into town or village, and boasts of his
immense success in some city, he writes himself
down an unequivocal humbug for if he were
any thing short, who don't know that he would
have stdid where he had done such great things,
and where tho popular fame Of his achievements
would have won him far more patients than his
own report Of them can gain for him elsewhere
And If he vaunts his ability to cure nearly every
thing, including diseases given over by others as
past hope, he is quack Of course. man might
possibly do that but If he did, no would never
aitorwerd seek patients among strangers.
The single remedy, then. for the outrageous
uuackory now so rife, especially in the Healing
Art il Common Sense guided by Intelligence.
DO not blindy shrink from innovation. for Medt
cine like other sciences il progressive. hut be
ware Of staggering pretenders. beware Of cure
alls who desert IN scenes of their astounding
achievements beware Of exceeding brass II ia
not a wholesome metal

and relatives, and accomplished such crimes
without the least remorse, without the excuse of
a saDguinary temper or violent passion. 1t was
q political measure, necessary 20 the success OF
their schemes, and quite accordant with the state
of Mohammedan society, such as Mohammed had
consciously created it, Another curious fact that
I must consider as enforcing this view OF the sub
ject, is that all the Mussulman Princes who have
entertained thoughts of introd acing the Ottoman
nation into the civilized ORDER have directed their
first steps toward religious reform; so well did
they know their religion to be Numerically OPP
posed to all progress in the way Of peaceful i'm
prOYements such as morals, industry and knowl-
edge. The corps of Janizaries was the last
powerful depository of Mohammeds spirit and in
tent, fanatically devoted 10 a religion which
turned mankind into enemies, and made them
useless except for slaughter.
When Mahmoud overthrow that first and most
important pillar Of Turkish ancient regime, when
he broke into open hostilities with that true re-
preventative of Mohammeds thought, he was I'M
derstood by all to be weary Of the Mohanmedan
principles and faith, because the warlike spirit
after the Janizaries fashion, and the Moham-
medan religion were but one identical thing.
The last part of Mohammed's apOPhthegm, be
warriors, or be nothing, is actually fulfilling for
ceasing to be warriors and conquerors, the Otto
man nation such as it is now constituted, is fast
falling into nonentity. How this doom is actually
accomplishing ITSELF will be the subject Of my
next letter.
