Hstory.-Pulvermach Chains were first in
troduced into this country about one year since,
in the city or New York, where they were sub
jected 10 the most rigorous and thorough trial in
every hospital in that city, by Professors Valentine
Mott. Van Buren,, Post, Carnochan, who at once
discovered that they possessed strange aud ,ron-
derful power in almost instantly relieving all ner-
vous pain, WhFrerer located and so satisfactory
were the results produced in every case that their
opinions were published through The public press.
and thousands have been induced to try them, and
in no single instance have they failed TO perform
all we advertise to do. They are patented in tbis
country, France, England, Germany, Austria and
Belgium, and are in use in every hospital in Eu.

No other Medical Agent can produce so Ianv
well .8uthenticated Certificates of cure-not only

"IScREAsE OF THE SauADRoY IN THE
WEST INDIES AND NoRTH AMERIcA.--From
the preparations actually made and in pro-
gress, it would appear that some work las
been cut out for the Butic fleet during the
winter. Orr Transatlantic friends, true TO
their characteristics, have begun TO be ,rou-
blesome, now that they fancy we have got
our hands full but it would seem that Eng
land has not yet entirely given up the fish
ing grounds 10 brother Jonathan; they have
not fallen in with the notion that Bermuda
and the West India Islands should be out
side States of the great republic; nor will
they permit any more flibustero invasions
of Cnba, or cowardIy piraical attacks upon
unoiiending, and VIC regret 10 add, unpro-
tectcd independent territories. Our Yankee
friends have grown saucy with IMMUNITY
and insolent with Indulgence, and especially
so the men-of-war's men with their puny
shadow OF fleet. B cause they do not ST c
so many line-o'-5attle ships and frigatcs
knocking about the West Indies as they
were wont TO see some ten or dozen years
since, they fancy that, like the frogs in the
fable, they can puff themselves up as Zig as
John Bull himself.
The piratical affair Of Cuba, and the bull
lying and staggering about the fisheries, the
British government could afford TO treat
quietly and indulgently; but now in q state
of war the case is altogether different
Great Britain has naturally become more
jealous Of her dignity and more tenacious Of
her rights.
The affair at Greytown, as cowardly an
act as ever disgraced man.of war, and the
insult TO the British flag on that occasion
followed up by the shameless Dragging Of
the captain Of the Cyone seem to have
brought matters TO climax; and these little
circumstances taken into consideration will

With our hands full with the Baltic and

"uNMITIGATED CuRsE."-The Charles
ton (South Carolina) Evening News, thus
discourses about the Nebraska Bill
"There never was competer or more
disastrous miscarriage than the Nebraska
bill. 1t has not only blasted every expecta-
ton that was originally formed OF it, but it
has proved to its authors positive and un-
mltigated curse. Instead OF strengthening
the harmony Of the country, it has given rise
TO the intensest resentment an dscord. H.
s cad o gi,in effect and confirmation to Il @
compromise Of 1850, it has blasted that com
promise into Willingness. Instead Of secu-
ring two additional slave States to the Ur-
ion it has secured two additional free States.
And instead of putting an end to The freesoil
doctrine, it has given that doctrine power
and espectablity which it never possess
ed before, and which we believe, it could
never have attained through any other me-
iium than that opened by this bill.

Tom CorWin's Wit.

Willie this capital Joker was member Of
the General Assembly Of the State Of Ohio,
he brought in bill for the abolition of pub
lie punishment at the whipping post. He
made y speech thereon, to which an elderly
member replied somewhat as follows:
7 "Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is not as
cd as | am, and has never seen so much Of
the practical operation of the system OF pun
i>hment which he desires TO abolish. When
lived in Connecticut, if fellow stole a
horse, or cut up any other rusties, we used
to lie him right up, and give him a real good
thrashin', and he always cleared right out
and we never saw no more OF him. It's the
best way of getting rid of rogues that ever
was tried, and without expense TO the
State"
Corwin rose in reply: "Mr. Speaker, ]
have been often puzzled TO account for the
vast emigration from Connecticut to the West
but the gentleman last mp has explained it tc
my entire satisfaction" The bill passe
without further discussion.

MAGNIFICENr FARM AND FARMER.-A
Vermont paper says: Among the conspic-
uous men in the Vermont Legislature is Mr.
b. q. Brigham, of Fairfield. He owns and
cuitiyates 300 acres of land. Among his
barnyard items are two hundred and twenty
cows, twenty horses and five yoke of oxen.
The average yield of butter from the milk of
each COW is one hundred and fifty pounds.
Two hurge 'daSher' churns are kept in mo-
ton by two horses and the butter is 'wor-
ked' by the old-iashioned paddle His
stock of cattle consumes about five hundred
tons Of hay annually. 10000 lbs. of pork
500 bushels of wheat, from 400 to 500 bush
els Of corn, 900 bushels of oats, and from
l,O0Oto 1000 bushels potatoes, are among
his yearly products. The Man of w. in
his best estate, could not do better than this.

Col. Hamilton acted as presiding officer,
Dr.. BraiDard, (who had just been appoint

very appropriately assisting him.

Douglas was called up, aud made long
able, but laborious speech. He adhered to
the ghost of squatter sovereignty, notwth-
standing its brains were scattered all around

their own errors, and concluded with the
remark that tornadoes were necessary 10

memory Of the defunct democracy, and in
dividually TO that Of its standard bearers
who had fallen in the contest, not forgetting
John Petit, OF Indiana!

THE TYPE-sETTER.
WMTrEN ON HEARING FRIEND CALLED "TAL-
ENTED ron A MERE Type SETTER"

ga mere type-setter"-still man
The world may yet perchance revere;
Unknown, unnoted, one who can
Have naught TO hope and not TO fear;
Yet where's the kingly sceptred hand,
The brow that wears princely gem,
That yields so well wide command
Whose "sTicKs" may match diadem?
"a mere type-setter"-let us see,
Who gave the glorious stripes TO air,
That marked the banner of the free,
And bound the stars that giimmer there?
Who turned the bolt of Heaven aside,
Aud conquered its ETHEREAL fire?
Who bade the lightning harmless glide
Along its magic wand Of wire?
"a mere type'setter''--search the past,
The records of each battlefield,
Who nailed our colors TO the mast?
Who died because they would not yield?
Who taught our hand to strike the blow,
Through toll and danger and distress,
That severed the tyrant's chains of woe
Who, but the master OF the Press?
"a mere ype-setter"-name of fear,
To bid the name of freedom wake
That tyranny shall quake to hear,
And old oppression's empire shake!
Is FRANKLIN forgotten name,
That man no longer may revere?
Has Prentice lost his soul Of flame?
Or GREEDY dropped his pen Of fear?
"a mere pe-setter"-honored name,
That ages yet unborn shall bless,
When empires crumble, and their fame
Has sunk in worse than nothingness.
Show Inc the things whose leers deride
The mere type-setter's humble school,
And I'll show you an ape of pride,
A branless, or dandy fool.
