MILE. RACHEI-PUBLIc TAsTE.-It appears
that notwithstanding all warnings Mile. Rachel
is resolutely bent on coming to this country.
enced friends che had been advised that the
Americans at large did not understand the only
language she speaks, and are not generally
fond of classic tragedy; and for time these
warnings seem to have rendered her irresolute !;
but she has at last cut the knot, as she says,
and resolved cofae que coGte to cross the At
lantic.
The experiment does great credit to the lady's
courage. OF all the prime donne who have
sought laurels and dollars here since Jenny
Lind, Mile. Rachel has not the most fattering
prospects. Everybody knows that she is the first
actress on the French stage in her line. That
line is the old classic tragedy such as Corueille
and Racine and voltaire wrote, and Mile. Mars
played. 1t possesses unquestionable merits,
and when man is drilled to admire and grieve
and fight and die in alexandrines, male and fe-
male rhymes carefully intermixed, he can posi-
lively enjoy it on the stage. Frenchmen declare
that they experience lively sensation of plea
sure when Mile. Rachel is heard to declaim the
great speech Of Agrippine in "Britannicus" In
some more modern dramatic works, in which an
attempt has been made to compromise between
the old tragedy with the three unities and
modern melodrama, Rachel is undoubtedly
great and one can be strongly reused by her
without even understanding French. But at
the Fraheais, Corueille, Racine and Voltaire
are her great cards.
The question will arise when she comes here
whether the public taste is sufficiently refined
and educated to appreciate such very artificial
writer's as Racine. We have some doubts on
the point though we have none of Mile
Rachels talent, and very few Of the sincerity
with which Frencemen express their admire

The HARD DEMOCRACY AND THE Know
NoTHNos.-At their grand meeting the other
night, the hard shell democracy touched the
Know Nothings very gingerly. Upon the slave
ry question, il point Of fact the platform Of the
two parties B substantially the same thing.
In reference to the soft shells, on the other
hand, and the administration, the inaexible
hards appear to be as far from reconciliation
and reunion as they were year ago. These
are very significant points Of observation.
They indicate that there is strong probability
of fusion next November, as there was last
November, between the hards and Know
Nothings, and that the softs will again be
cut adrift. Where, then, will the deserted softs

me, and actually asked me to take her
youngster and dip him. She held him out

A CARD-FROM DIR. j. G. YOUNG'S PRI.
In FAVE1 MEDICAL OFFICE--To the NJ.
ficted.-In this age of progress, when science iv
developing itself in such manner as to apnear
almost miraculous, everything in common place
is looked upon as not worth notice In view NJ
this fact, DR.. Young, corner of Montgomery and
California streets, up stairs, has concluded to
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued bv rnost
scientific physicians, Chat of waiting for the pnb.
lie to find you out alone,) and publish to the
world, as much as may be, his knowledge of the
healing art, to let those who are in need of as
sistance know where they can find relief without
fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, DR.. Young
would say that for the past ten years he has puT,
sued the practice of medicine in one of the lar.
gest cities of the United States, with the highest
success, and that his standing as a physician is
without reproach, having at one time been lee
turer at the University of Pennsylvania on vene.
real diseases.
Upon all these considerations DR.. Young has
confidence in introducing himself to the public.
knowing that they will sustain well earned merit.
The following are few Of the many testimo.
malls which have appeared in the public Journals
of the last few years.
l3i IFrom the Boston Medical JournaL]
Although we are opposed to the system of adr
vertising, for good and sufficient reasons, still we
deem it but justice to say that Dr. Young is one
of the most industrious and intelligent votaries
of the medical science in the United States.
From Professor Jackson
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
DIR. Young, and has seen much of his practice,
and can bear testimony to his merits as practi.
tiOner.
TFrom the New York HeraId1
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman
in his profession, and the very extended opportu.
mites possessed by him for the observation of We.
nereal diseases, makes his services invaluable 10
those afflicted with the above complaints
TFrom the Whig and Advertiser.1
All afflicted with private complaints, should if
possible consult with Dr. Young, whose medical
education is not surpassed by any physician in
the country. In his skill honor and integrity all
may rely with safety while most of the medical
practitioners in the city are without honesty or
respectability, their pretensions being grounded
in ignorance and assumption.
