MFRS. SMITH set her TEAPOT on the

Wouldn't stand the fire" till she it run. She
screamed as it disappeared and fell back in convul-
sions. Every remedy was administered, but nothing
would restore her. At last her husband said he
would call at FRANCISS, on Seventh Street, and
buy her one of his Fre-proot ea-Pots when she was
observed to smile. In the morning, after starting
away, Mr. Smith looked back, and saw her standing
in the door, For moment he listened. 1t was that

TESTIMONY From NORTH CAROLINA.


Certificate of DR.. w. Smith, of Pine Hill, Rich
mond County, North Carolina.
PINE HILL, March 4, 1854.
DEAR SIR: have been subject of Dyspepsia in
its worst FORM for the last five years Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die. While in this con-
dition was carried TO the watering places in Vir-
ginia Tennessee, and North Carolina, but not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home, stopped week at Ruthertordton,
O small village in North Carolina, to try the effect of
some Chaybuate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
icine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store and of them
seemed to take some interest in my case and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the of
"Hoofand's German Bitters," prepared by yeu and
he insisted that would try the Btters He also
called the next day at my room, and insisted so much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it, and commenced taking ii US
directed and was more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one of my neighbors came to
me for a prescription and medicine Che dyspeptic
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his lie has often called
on me for more of the kind of medicine, saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken but have not been able TO get any more for
him or myself since Will you, therefore, please ship
me dozen or more as soon CD possible.
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.

Men Wearing shRyIs,

1t is said that young man has lately been ar
rested In ST. Louis, Missouri, and fined $50 for
wearing shawl on the ground that it was not
the apparel of his sex. The story is PROBABLY
hoax, but if true, there are many who would agree
that the young man was served just right,
There is no country in which there is little
freedom of action in dress, drink, &c, as in Amer
lea. There are many localities in which man
who wears moustache beard, if not fined
$50, is generally considered a fool and would be
tarred and feathered, if such an operation could
be safely performed We do not desire to put the
beard movement" par with that of the
shawls. The former is a Distinguishing mark of
the lord of creation and can plead the universal
custom of antiquity and the almost universal
usage of the modern world The latter is dis
tinguishng article of female attire We dislike to
see women deprived not only of their rights but
their garments and consider il no apology for Dor
rowing the shawl, that they sometimes wear the
breeches However, we do not deny the perfect
right of male or female persons to dress as they
choose. Ii the latter see fit to wear boomers or
mems hats, and the former shawls or petticoats
let them do so in peace. Every individual has
right to consult his taste in dress, and is GER
tainly the best Judge whether a man or q woman's
apparel Is the more appropriate for him

Prospects Of Peace.

The Paris correspondent of the National Intelli-
gencer sceuts the idea that Russia will consent to
such terms OF peace it is alleged have been pro
posed through Prince Esterhazy. Russia, he de-
clares will never consent to the naturalization of
the Black Sea, the destruction of her fortresses
there or elsewhere, or any terms which will in the
least compromise her independence and strength.
The stand she has made at Sebastopol is one
which may well fill her with courage and conf
dence, instead of dependency. 1t win require
another, a more terrible and far more successful
campaign, to subdue her proud heart
