JUDGE CURTIs-This gentleman gives the
following reason for his resignation of his
Judgeship, in private letter to a friend:
"If / had consulted only my own wishes, l
should probably have retained the place. II
had added to these the implied obligation 1.-THE
force of which feeD to retain permanently
an Office whose tenure has been made permar
nent for wise reasons, / certainly should not
have resigned il, save from considerations
which seemed to me imperative.
"The salary attached to the Office is utterly
inadequate to afford a comfortable home for
my family at Washington, while in attendance
on the Court there, and to pay my other neces-
sary expenses. There has not been one year,
since was in Office, that have not expended
my entire private income, and some years have
exceeded it; and certainly You will agree that ct
Washington 1 have not lived extravagantly.
Indeed, / have lived in such a way a. neither
my family nor myself have ever been sccus.
toned to, and, l must be allowed to think, IN
such way as is not consistent with the dlgni-
ty of the Office have held"
1t will not reflect credit upon this nation
abroad, the fact that one of its Supreme Judges
has resigned Office because his salary is 80
small that he cannot support family upon it.
Either the Judge is in fault, or the country is.
DOUGLAS JERRoLD.-The literary friends of
the late Mr. Jerrold have succeeded in raising
the sum of $4,000 for the widow and daugh'
ter of the distinguished writer. The sum vil
be expended in purchasing an annuity for them.
1t seems that Blanchard Jerrold, talented
son of the better-known Douglas Jerrold, does
not like the Remembrance performances"
and according to his story there was little need
of them. He says, in card to the British
public:
"My father left property sworn at Doctors
Commons at FL 500. Ia addition to this sum,
my mother held policy in her own right on
my fathers life, value fl,000; other items
raise the total sum to $4,000. The copyrights
Of my fathers plays realize an average income
of fl00. More, the position of the members
of my fathers family would have enabled them,
had there been need for their exertions, to sup
ply any deficiency the above property could not
cover. 1t is due to the memory of my father
that the public should know that he left suf-
fciency for my mother and sister; and that
the love of his own kindred, in any case, would
have insured this Efficiency"
The son objected to receive anything wear
ing the appearance of charity" but we pre-
sumo will not refuse to receive the money COL
lected.

The South and the Tract Society.

The Southern papers are not content with
the course Of the American Tract Society, in
ignoring the relation of master and slave, and
even the existence Of Slavery, and in expurga-
ting from its publications the writings Of even
Southern men upon the subject that everybody
talks about, that all the papers write about,
that all the people think about. The fact is,
the Southern people know that such abject sub.
mission cannot be honest; they accept the act,
but they will not trust the men who perform it

Boyer's Compound Extract Of

HOREHOUND CANDY!!!
DREPARED WITH GREAT CARE
L from sundry articles, principally Ex-
pectorants, or remedies used by physicians
for cleaning the throat or air passages, and
producing healthy action in those parts.
This candy is confidently recommended
for Colds, Coughs, Hoarseness, clearing
the throat, difficult Expectoration, in ca
ses ofPhthysic, Whooping Cough, Chronic
Asthma and Bronchitis. 1t may also be
used as palliative in severe cases ofthese
and other affections. 1t is strong rec
ommendation of this candy, that it contains
some of the best remedies, in q convenient
and pleasant vehicle, in which they can be
exhibited to adults and children, who have
an aversion to taking medicines alone
Tb inventor relies on the intelligence of
an enlightened public to test the virtues of
his candy, by fair trial. He does not
pretend that it will necessarily and infal.
libly cure all the affections in which he
would recommend it's use; but he believes
it will be found pleasant, safe and useful
remedy, in those affections, when they are
not sufficiently acute to require medical at
tendance and there are hundreds of such
cases in all communities.
