HoilopayS Ointment and Pills haze
cured an liberated Leg, and Preren-
ted Anp'tatiOm--The wife of Mr.. P.
Baylis, of s, Court, 7 House, Cheapside,
birmingham, suffered for more than
eight years from dreadfully liberated
limb; during great portion of that
time she was under medical treatment at
Birmingham, where she was frequently
told that amputation must ultimately
take place, as it was impossible to heal
the wound. However, under the advice
of her friends, she tried Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills, which have effected a
perfect cure, and she strongly recon-
mends others similarly afflicted to use
them after this proof of their efficacy in
one of the worst of cases.

Doctor GREELEY.-Thec COM
ments of the press on the erroneous
announcement that Horace Greeley
was made Doctor Of Laws, at the
late commencement at Burlington, are
amusing, very. This is streak of
good fortune, in the way of gratuitous
notoriety, that Horace never dreamed
of. The degree of LII. D. conferred
upon Horace Green, NJ, D., of New
York, probably led to this mistake.
The following comments of the Albany
Register, nevertheless, are too good
to be lost:
Our excellent cotemporary is getting

one of the most enterprising and ener-
getic men of the age has been

sign. Proud men, arrogant men, arts
tocratic men are never known by any
such familiar title. 1t is only your
clever fellows, men that have in then

ELoQUENcE OF CHoATE.-A writer
in the Chronicle, in an article relating
to the oratorical powers of Rufus
Choate says:
"Ilis voice is unequalled in capacity
and richness of tone. Now it is shrill,
fierce and denunciatory, now it is
hooking and sarcastic, and now it
sinks into tender, tremulous mono
tone, when its master would appeal 10
the passions and emotions of his listen.
ers. Choate's eloqucnce falls under
the head of that which the ancients
were accustomed to call the Asiatic.
1t is rich, forid, and arabcsque. His
sword, like those of Harmodius and
Aristogiton, is wrcathed with flowers.
but it is none the less keen and trench
ant for that reason. There has always
been q prejudice in minds of a certain
cast against a consummate rhetorician
like Choate. But those who pretend
that his arguments are wanting in log
ical strength and precision, are not
over fond of casting themselves in the
way Of his blows. Never was there a
greater mistake than to suppose that
Choate is simply rhetorician, mere
Gorgias from the isles. His arguments,
though overrun with tropical luxuri.

They are clothed, like green bank, with
