The Use Of Hon.-Among the articles
which the French have sent to this coun.
country, is a new styled arm chair for par.
lor use, formed of fine iron wires, woven
together spirally. The seat of the chair
is formed of wire, continuous with the
back, or, if rocker, the sides back and
seat are all of one piece; that the fabric
is strong and thoroughly durable need
not be added. The seat, far from being
intractable, hard and unpleasant, is elias
tic and of handsome appearance, and can
be transported from place to place with
out damage. The weight of chair of
this description is considerably less than
one of rosewood or carved mahogany, and
the prices at which they are furnished are
very moderate.

Stronger than an Army acith BGnners.--A
number of smallpox patients in Oglethorpe
Georgia, made stampede from the buildings
in which they were confined by the civil au-
thorites, and, in different stages of the fearful
malady, fell upon the officers and put them
all to flight. Mayor Sorrell called out the
military 10 suppress the disturbance; they,
however, made but poor resistance to their
diseased opponents, flying in great confusion
at their approach. At last accounts smallpox
had the day, and the disorder was subsiding.

The hnlckerbocker is always welcome
visitor, and especially when it comes in

upon his table. The price has been re-
duced to three dollars, or if you want cheap
reading, send five dollars, and you will re-
ceive the Knickerbocker, Home Journal

Mr.. DARSIE called the attention to
the very large amount of appropriation

would strike Senators with surprise. The

the Commonwealth would be well rid of
these works. For his part he was sick of
them, and would be willing to give them
away, if the State cannot get rid of them
in any other way.

Crops in Horida.-We learn from Florida
that throughout Aluchua, Columbia and Mari
on counties, cotton is in an excellent state of
forwardness, and bids fair for a heavy crop,
the additional ground planted this season
warranting the estimate that the product of
this year will be double that of the last or
about 10000 bales. The tobacco, so far as
transPlanted, looks well, particularly in Ma
rlon county. The arrowroot which has been
set out looks well and consid cradle quanti-
ty will be manufactured the ensueing season.

Learn to sSDOuI.'

This is the first advice that female
whale gives to its young, and it is just
the advice that every American mother
should give her boy. In no country in
the world is there such field for off-hand
speakers to operate in, as in the United
States. A man capable of stirring up
multitude at mass meeting, can reach
any Office in the gift of the people-be-
ginning with comptroller of poultry, and
leaving off with the Presidency.
In the present Congress there are 60
Senators are, or have been lawyers.
leaving only 10 for all the other profes-
sions. Why is this? Why should 25,-
600 lawyers have eight times as many
representatives in the Senate as the whole
25, 600, 900 of other people? For no 9TH
er reason in the world than that the law
yers are generally good speakers. But
why should good speakers be limited to
one profession? We know not of a sim
gle good reason. Every School should
have defamation club connected with
it. Boys of all classes should be initiated
in the art and mystery of persuasion.-.
With early training, the mechanic and
farmer would become as successful 'on

Last Moments Of the. TIce Presidem-
The Southern Republic has received from
A1r. 7. X. Beck-a kinsman of the Vice
President-a brief account of the last
moments of Mr. King. 1t says -" He

he had seen for some time awaited him
Shortly before six o'clock on Monday e.
vening while a few friends were sitting
around his bedside-the only ones be
would allow in his sick room-he sudden
ly remarked that he was dying. The
watchers arose to their feet, under some
excitement, when the Colonel said Be
still-make no noise-let me die quietly"
lie refused to have the balance of his
household notified of his dying condition.
His physician came in and examined him.
The Colonel said to him Doctor, | am
dying. 1t seems as though shall never
get through with it. | am dying very
hard. Take the pillows from under my
head The pillows were accordingly ia
ken from under his head but affording
no relief, the doctor turned him from his
back on his side, when he died in mo-
ment." -

MOTORPATHY

Our Institution at lIalstcd Hall, Rochester,
" Y, is now i'll the successful treatment Of
Chronic diseases, by this system of Therapcu-
tics, which is simple, rational and reliable,
based upon new pathological principles, by
which the worst forms of PrOiapsus UieTi,
and other functional and organic dcrangc-
mcnts are cured without supporters, or any
of the usual treatment of the day. 1t con-
trolls with ease the most unmanagcaLlc and
long standing diseases, without pain or ncon-
vcnicncc. The principles of Motorpathy have
been thoroughly tested in the treatment of
some five thousand cases of female diseases,
some Of which have been cured in few DAYS
others in few weeks.
Moiorpafhg gives vitality and force TO the
functional powers of all the organs. 1t res
torres the constitution from the abuses of dis
sipation and sclt;indulgcncc, and is the only
agent which will cure spinal difficulties, pre-
vent abortion and obviatc stcrility. Ii is
equally efficient in the cure of incipicnt con-
sumption, bronchial affections, paralysis,
nervous arrangements, liver complaint, and
all troubles arising from ganic weakness, or
torpid circulation, as dyspepsia, scrofula,
painful periods, &c, &c.
This treatment has also been successful in
epilepsy, heart disease and dropsy. In those
eases of peculiar nervous cxcitablity, loss Of
memory, or slight alterations OF mind where
the Lunatic Asylum is furbidding the success
in this Institution is truly gratifying.
There is an extensive Water Cure attached,
with gardens, lawns AMI spacious accommo-
dationS, where kindness and pleasure

of spirits and cheerful enjoyment.
