they had been attached for many years, eloped,
went to Syracuse, and were united in wedlock.
The man had lived thirty eight years, without
ever having kissed a woman. The girl had
stood it seventeen years, and it is but gallant
to suppose with equal abstinence. Upon this
latter point, however, there is no direct testimo-
ny. When they reached Syracuse, the great
broad brimmed hat and Shaker dress was taken

TDR. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS

Were not, like the quack nostrums of the day,
got up with a view to profit, but were discover ed
after many years of study, by one of the first ply
slclans in the United States, and used in his pri-
vate practice. Their marked success elected the
most unqualified appreciation of physicians and
others who had witnessed their effects. Possess
ing all the sensitive feelings of a thoroughbred
physician, DR.. NcLane dreaded being c'assed with
the shallow pretenders who crowd the columns OF
the newspapers with pufis of Sovereign reme-
dies" and for a long time declined the requests of
many that he would proclaim his great remedy to
the public: but, finally, after much persuasion on
the part of physicians and others who had wit
messed the wonderful cures effected by the Liver
Pills. he consented to prepare it for general use.-
The following certificate from Df. Morgan will

medical testimony of the efficacy of these Pills.

The Legislature.--We must give up the idea
of giving regular proceedings of the LegisIa~
ture. Such a plan SO far, would only be throw
ing together a mass of confusion and stuff, not
worth the room it would occupy in our columns
A great deal has been said during the past
week about electing a u S. Senator, which
they never nciA do--and of removing the seat
of Government, which they cannot do. The
CapitoIian Vs-a-Vis thus sums up the pro-
ceedings of the Legislature thus far in a few
words, and for aught we can perceive, about as
true as they are brief:
at has as yet done nothing but to pass an act
to authorize the Governor to borrow money to
paw themselves-and judging from the "notice
of bills which have been given, it would pro"
badly be better for the State, were they to ad-
iourn without passing a single act"

Another Revolution in Merico.-Every veal
OR two since Iturbide grasped from Spain he,
dominion in Mexico, have we heard of pronun'
caados in that unfortunate land-rebeIline
against the Government and meeting in strife
on many sanguinary fields. For a long time
past a new revolution has been Matching in that
country against the Government Of AR1srA,
and by an article in another column it will be
seen that it is at length overturned, and a pro.
visional government established. The new
powers upon the surface are the friends of
SANTA ANNA, and it is thought that this noto-
rious chieftain and gamester will be recalled
and again restored to power. The Picayune
says:
Another revolution has paved the way for
another recall, and Santa Anna may tomorrow
sit supreme over the fortunes of Mexico. In
deed all the indications tend to give assur-
anee of his speedy recall. From chihuahua to
Yucatan, the sun shines only on the "broken
and dishonored fragments of a Union; on States
discovered, discordant, belligerent; on a land
rent with civil feuds" and distracted with d.
verse councils. The demand of Guadafaiara
tor diminished taxation and a removrl of prohi-
billions has been made by State after State, city
after city, regiment after regiment. Gen. IRA
ga, the acknowledged leader and head of the
revolution Isl strong friend of Santa Annals;
and Vol, who commands Vera Cruz, is his
known confdant. But beyond all these things,
his return is rendered propable by the conyie-
ton Of the Mexicans themselves, that he is the
only man whose hand can educe order from out
such a chaos, and restore public tranquility

A NoreI Statesnmn.-The Legislature Of
Indiana has elected one John Petis, u. S. Sena-
tor. He is a "pure~steel' Democrat, and be-
longs to a class Of politicians who never dream
of anything but the "party." Mr.. Pctis has
another qualification. He is an infdel. When
a member of the House of Representatives, he
used regularly to talk aud vote against the ap-
p%ointment of a Chaplain, the staple of hi,
speeches being abjurgation and bIasplemy. If
what Prentice says be true, Mr.. Pctis has still
more peculiar claims to The exalted station he
now occupies:
From the Louisville Journal
John Petis, who has just been elected to the
u ). Senate, by a unanimous vote of the De-
mocrats of the Indiana Legislature, possesses
some talent, but is perhaps the greatest beast
IN the State to which he belongs. There is
hardly a limit to the number of disgusting inci-
dents in his history that have been related to US.
1t was but a short time ago that he made, upon
a wager an indecent exposure of his person, in
an Indiana doggery, in the presence of a crowd
OF persons. at the same place and on the
same occasion, he "played steamboat" as he
called 1t, for the amusement of the crowd-that
is, he went down upon all tours, set a pan of
water upon his back, got a negro to put a hot
iron in ii, and then crawIed of, putting steamer
fashion. Perhaps he will 'play steamboat" at
Washington, for the entertainment of his broth
err Senators, and he will unquestionabIy make
as indecent an exposure of his mind in the Sem
ate, as he did Of his body in the Indiana grog
shop.
John Petis, elected to the U. S. Senate, is
John Petis still. 1t is not possible for an Indi-
ana Legislature to dignity John Petit, though it
may be very easy for an Indiana Legislature to
degrade itself.
