newly married senator from Illinois:

seedy dress-coat, and had q decidedly shabby
look. Now his face is clean shaved, his collar
stands sii!f and glossy, his linen looks decidedly
respectable, he wears his hair much shorter
than usual, and, to crown an, he appears in a
new suit ofblack, a neat fitting frock. instead
of the shabby old dress-coat, and looks about
ten years younger than ever. On coming into
the Senate Chamber he was congratulated by
all, and by none more warmly than by his poll
teal opponents"
OF General Houston's last fancy II, the matter
of costume, it is said:
General Houston of Texas wears his speak

pants, and vest inside of the skin of a tiger-cat,
which the old General killed with his own hand.
From this indication, we expect soon to see him
on the floor.
Mr.. Buriingame appeared in the House to-
day for the first time since Tuesday. His health
is decidedly improving having recovered from
the ague and fever.

IMPORTANT TO MINERS, TRAVELLERS. ETc.--There
l. is no malady of deeper importance, either in
medical or moral point of view, to which the hu-
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As q medical man, it is the duty of every physi-
clan to look at disease il affects health and life,
aud his sole object should be to mitigate, far as
lies in his power the bodily suffering Humun ma
ture at best is but frai all are liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those of private nature. Dreadful as
1t is in the person who contracts it. frghtiul
its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and oathsome grave, il becomes of
still greater Importance when il is transmitted to
innocent offspring. Such being the case how
cessary it becomes that every having reason to
fear that they have contracted the disease, should
attend to it at once by consulting some physician
whose responsibility and education enables him to
warrant a safe, speedy, and permanent cure In ac-
cordance with this necessity, DR.. Young feels called
upon to state that, by long study and extensive
practice, he has become perfect master Of all those
diseases. which come under the denomination of We
nereal, and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other physician in the United States
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as ulcers swelling
in the groins ulcers in the throat secondary syphil
is cutaneous eruptions alterations tertiary syphil
is syphilis in children mercureal syphiltic atlec-
tons gonorrhGa, gleet, structures. false passages
| inflammation of the bladder and PROSTATE glands
excoratons tumors postules etc, are familiar
to him as the most common things of daily observa-
ton.
The Doctor effects cure in recent cases in n few
days, and finds no difficulty in curing those Of long
duration, without submitting the patient to such
treatment as will draw upon him the slightest sus
picon, or oblige him to neglect his business, wheth
er within doors or without. The diet need not be
changed, except in cases of severe Inflammation
There are in California patients amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could furnish
proof of this: but these are matters that require
the incest secresy, which he always preserves.
