SINGULAR DEVELOPMENTS

]
American Organ of the 18th inst, defunct
German Abolition paper in Washington City
was recently resuscitated by the aid of gov
ernment advertising, furnished to it by Col.
Fornev on condition that it should oppose
Know Nothingism-that said paper received
the advertisements proffered to it and had
extras" struck off at the Washington Union
Office, where the same advertisements had
been pubished--that said German paper
distributed these "extras" printed at the
Union office and preached anti Know Nothing
ism and Abolition.
The testimony in proof Of these develop
ments is given by witness whom the Organ
represents as gentleman well known i'll
Washington city-has long been resident
there and his character for truth and veraeity
viii! not he questioned by any man who knows
him. The witness says:
After the Democrat had died, the editor
told me he had bargained with Mr.. Forney,
and the President. to revive his paper on the
following conditions:
lie was to write against the Know Moth
ings and after discussion, it was decided that
he might cOntinne anti. slavery sentiments.
The party, or Forney, was to give him ad-
vertisements enough to sustain the paper until
Congress met, and then money would be rails
ed to continue his paper and he was employ
ed in translating documents into foreign lam
guages, to be sterotyped for the next Presiden-
tial campaign"
This is what the editor told me Fow,
all that know about the bargain is that saw
a letter. dated at Philadelphia from Mr..
Florence to the editor Of the Democrat,
saying that he had not been able to see
Forney, although he was then in Philadelphia,
| to get an order for the advertisements, but
would see him soon.
"A few weeks after, Schmidt (the editor OF
the Democrat )got an advertisement, making
| five (columns) Of the Union newspaper, com
ing to some seven or eight hundred dollars.
He had it printed as an extra" at the Union
office. 1t cost him S4S leaving the balance
profit. l saw Forney's check for $500 less
| SAT, the order the editor had given for his
printing. (These figures were in pencil on
the margin.
"Sehm idt told Jones (your clerk that he
had got $500, and | saw the Marshal hand
another draft payable to F. Schmidt, and had
is passed to Amos Kendalfs account in the
Bauk of Washington. Well this editor printed
two numbers of his paper and stopped"
| CoUGHISG IN CoNsuMrTIoN.-A gentleman
called upon us recently, who actually eseap-
ed from the fangs of consumption some years
ago; and we are induced to present the cir
cumstances
"You speak ef coughing constantly. Let
me suggest to you the query, whether this is
not unnecessary and injurious. | have long
been satisfied. from experience and observa-
ton. that much of the coughing which pro-
ceeds and attends consumption is voluntary.
Several years ago, boarded with man who
was in the incipient stages of consumption;
slept in n chamber over his bedroom, and
was obliged to hear him cough continually
and distressingly. | endured the annoyance,
night after night, till it led me to reflect
whether something could not be done to stop
it. L watched the sound which the mass
made, and observed that he evidently made a
voluntary effort to cough. After this !
made several experiments on myself, and
| found that could prevent myself from
coughing, sneezing, gaping, de-, in case ot the
strongest propensity to these acts, by siren
nous effort of the will. Then | reflected that
coughing must be very irritating and inju
ous to the delicate organs that are concerned,
in it. especially when they are in diseased
state. What can be worse for ulcered bron-
CHA, or lungs, than the violent wrenching OF
n coughl 1t must be worse than speaking.
A sore on any part of the body, II 1t Is con-
stantly kept open by violent usage, or MADE
raw again by confusion just when IL is
healing land of course begines to itch) Will
grow worse, and end in death. Certainly,
then, q sore on the lungs may be expected
to terminate fatally, if it is constantly lrritat-
cd. and never suffered to heal and this, 1T
seems to me, is Just what coughing does for it.
! On the strength of such considerations as
these, made bold to ask the man if he could
not stop coughing lie aswered no. told
him what / thought about it, as above. lie
agreed to make n trial; and on doing so, he
! found to his surprise that he could suppress
his cough almost entirely. The power OF the
will over it increased as he exercised 1T, and
| in a few days he was mostly rid of the dispo-
sition to cough. His health, at the same time,
improved and when | last saw him, he was
in strong hopes of getting out OF death's
hands"
This occurred eighteen years ago, and the
man comes round now, an active business
man, nverring that he has not had sick day
since.-Frorincidl Wesleyan.

speech on the 10Th November, the annivsr-
sary of the Polish Bevou'ion. lie ascribes

Of the 2nd of December, and says: "Take

that war in Poland is "the revolution IN
