Of the murder, requested permission to see the
daughter of Mrs Cunningham. He said the
published description Of the younger accorded
with that of a young woman who called on
him late last Thursday evening to have a
tooth extracted. He performed the operation
Her gums bled profusely, and the young lady
screamed so that she elected the blood upon
her dress. He said if this were the same per-
son, the blood found upon the dress of one of
the Misses Cunningham might be accounted
for in this way. As he was unable to describe
the color of the dress, for the present bis wish
was not gratifed.
Mrs. Cunningham was said to be seriously
ill, which condition any woman, whether she
was guilty or innocent, could scarcely afford
being in, under the circumstances She is, of
course, still closely confined to her room by q
guard of police cons family kept on the premi-
ses. Her daughters are with her, also pris-
oners, to await the result of the inquisition.
Mrs Cunningham protests innocence of hav.
ing any knowledge of the murder. Previous
to the funeral she requested and obtained per-
mission to see the corpse. When she entered
tho room she sank upon her knees, and throw.
ing herself upon the open coffin and exclaimed

A Nut FOR THE DOcToRs One of the most
eminent French physicians and physiolo gists
says medicine Is great humbug Magendie,
whose treatises are regarded as standard
works the world over, says he knows nothing
about medicine, and don't know anybody that
does know anything about it! LII one of his
lectures he asks:
WHO can cure the gout or disease Of the
heart? Nobody o. you tell me the doctors
cure people. l grant you people are cured
But how are they cured Gentlemen, nature
does great deal Doctors do devilsh little
when they don't do harm. Let me tell you,
gentlemen, what / did when 1 was the head
physician at the Hotel Dieu Some three or
four thousand patients passed through my
hands every year. divided the patients into
two classes; with one followed the dispensary
and gave the usual medicines, without having
al idea of the why or wherefore /; to the other
gave bread pills and colored water, without,
Of course, letting them know anything about
it; and occasionally, gentlemen, l would cre-
ate third division, to whom l gave nothing
whatever. These last would feel they were
neglected, (sick people always feel neglected,
unless they are we'll drugged-the fools.) and
they would irritate themselves until they got
sick, su. nature invariably came to the rescue,
and all persons in this third class got we'll.
There was little mortality among those who re-
ceived but bread pills and colored water, and
the mortality was greatest among those who
were carefully drugged according to the dis
pensary

go. French horror is excited by the speech,
styled a lecture, on Moscow, which young Sir
Robert Peel delivered to library meeting,
near Birming ham. Sir Robert is young m an,
and his speech is described as phenomenon
of bufoonery and slang In it he uses the
phrase " soft sawder;" and it is amusing to
see the explanation Of this Americauism which
the puzzled Paris editor gives in a note ::
We are unable to translate 1t literally I;
but soft SGtoaer means, word for word, saw
yer leaning listlessly on his saw and doing lit
tie work. A soft sawder is what is called, in
the dialect of wOrkmen-a drone, great lazy
rascal-a lily.livered lubber, sloth."

party We can see but little benefit that the
p arty could derive from two Democratic Jour-
q ais, with all the dangers of collisions and
ShminstiOns and recrminations which would
oe inevitable. Two such organs, however,
Ialght suit the views of the Enquirer. if the
Jongresslonal organ should happen to be
elected printer, and if that printer should
happen to be the favorite candidate of the
enquirer. We trust however, that the En-.
quirer will not be driven, If Congress fails to
adopt Its suggestions, to carry tut its threat as
to removal of the Federal seat Of govern
ment When such removal takes place, We
hope it will be resorted to for better reason
than that Congress chooses to have its printing
done in the city Of Washington"
This controversy is in nut she'll. Writing
politicians in all sections of the country are
ambitious of sharing in the alleged profits of
the public printing. There is hardly a con.
ductor of a provincial paper in any quarter
who would not be highly grAti6ed on waking
up some fine morning and finding himself a
"public printer" This is natural. and We
presume that no man in his senses wonders at
it. Others, too, long for share in the public
printing-persons who speculate directly or
indirectly On legislation, State and National,
schemers desifing the use Of money from the
treasury on which to trade, and people gener-
ally whose hats are always in hand ready to
catch ali sorts Of windfalls. Indeed, the Union
must calculate upon being set upon by
many parties, some of whom will ssuander
somebody's money like water in so doing.

it is said Mr.. Wallach put the price of the Star

The New York Murder.

The funeral of DR.. Burdell took place at
Grace Church, New York city, ON Wednesday
afternoon. The relatives and friends of the
deceased, members Of the medical and dental
profession, and representatives of the press,
were admitted to the church but all other
persons, as far as possible, were excluded
The crowd outside numbered probably not
less than three thousand people-a great pro-
portion Of them ladies. When the doors were
opened there was a general rush to gain ad =
mission, and largo force Of policemen were
required to keep back the crowd The ser.
vices commenced about two o'clock when all
the doors were locked, and no persons were
admitted except for the most urgent reasons
The church at that time was about half filed
The religious exercises were conducted by
Rev. DR.. h. II. Taylor, Rector Of the church.
who pronounced the full burial service The
choir sang the lssth hymn, commencing +" And
l heard voice from Heaven" The audience
throughout the services appeared to be deeply
impressed with the solemnity Of tho occasion
Among the relatives of the deceased present
were Dr. VIM. Burdell, and DIR. Bulen, a bro.
ther-in-law As ths coffin was on its way to
the hearse, the curiosity of the thousands out
side to obtain glimpse of it was intense, and
it was with great difficulty that the procession
coming out of the church effected passage
and obtained seats in the carriages. The pro-
cession then moved down Broadway, attracting
much attention from persons in the street who
were cognizant Of the occasion Of it. The
oody was taken to Greenwood Cemetery for
interment.
