SELLING AccoUNTs IN PAR1s.-The fash
ionable clubs in Paris have recently been
thrown into some excitement by the publ
cation of the names Of the most popular dan
dies, with their debts, which are to be put
up at auction, and sold to the highest bid
der. 1t looked at first like sort of 'blacll
list" and nothing was talked of but whip
ping the impertinent scoundrels who asked
for money which belonged to them. But it
soon appeared that this publication was mat
ter of form consequent upon the dissolution of
partnership all the unpaid bills being sold
at auction. 1t created a good deal of aston
ishment that such names should be found
with such bills; for men who were reputed to
have large fortunes were found to have bills
OF seven or eight years standing unpaid.
REMEDY FOR LooKJAw.-A correspon-
dent in an exchange writes, 81 have noticed
lately several deaths by lockaw, and for the
information Of all, l will give certain reme-
'dty. When any one runs a nail or any sharp
sron in any part of his body, take a common
smoke pipe, fill it with tobacco, light it we'll
then take cloth or silk handkerchief place
At over the bowl Of the pipe and blow the
the smoke through the stem into the wound;
two or three pipefulls will be sufficient to set
the wound discharging. | have tried it my
self, and five others, and found it gave i'm
mediate relief. If the wound has been some
days standing, it will open again if the to-
bacco is good. Try it, any one who may

The CRoP OF INDIAN CoRN.-It is stated
that recent investigations show that the In
dian corn crop Of the United States is of more
value than any other agricultural product,
not even excepting cotton. The culture Of
corn has wonderfully increased Of late years
its ratio of increase being far greater than
any other product. From 1880 to l849, as
per census returns, the increase was So per
cent. Wool is the next highest, its increase
being so per cent; cotton "a; oats 20; and
wheat IS. The cotton crop of 1851, 927,-
100000 of pounds, valued at $4,000, 900,
while the corn crop of 1850, was 592, 100000
of bushels, which, at the lowest possible price
at which it can be estimated, is of far greater
value than the cotton crop.

CERTIFICATE

The undersigned, desirous Of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarIe
afflicted where permanent relief of their sule y
ings may be obtained. feels it his duty to thus
publicly express his most sincere gratitude to DR..
l.. j Cazpkay for the permanent recovery of his
health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practice of uncomfortable
passions in youth; depressed in body and mind,
unable to perform even the most trifng duty i'm
posed upon the daily avocations of life. sought
the advice of many physicians who at first
garded my disease as of trfng importance-but
alasl after few weeks, and in several instances
months, of their treatment, l found to my unutter
able horror that, instead Of relief the symptoms
became more alarming in their torture; and. being
told by one that my disease being principally con
fined to the brain, medicines would be of little
consequence despaired of ever reganing my
health, strength and energy; and as last resort,
and with but a faint hope, called upon Dr.. Gap
kay, who after examining my case, prescribed some
medicine which almost instantly relieved me of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encour-
aged by this result resolved to place myself
Immediately under his care, and by strict obe-
dience to all his directions and advice, my head
became clear, my ideas collected the constant pain
in my back and grons, the weakness of my limbs
the nervous reaction of my whole body on the
slightest alarm or exciting; the misanthropy and
evil forebodings; the selfdistrust and want Of
confidence in others; the pcapabity to study,
and want of resolution the lrightful exciting,
and at times peasurable dreams at nj ght followed
by involuntary discharges. have all disappeared;
and in fact, in two months after having consulted
the Doctor, felt as if inspired by new life-that
life which, but short time ago, | contemplated
to end by my own.
With view to guard the unfortunate from
falling into the snares of incompetent quacks,
deem it my duty to offer this testimony to the
merit and skill of DR.. Czapkay, and recomend
him to all who may stand in need of medical
advice. being assured, by my own experience, that
once under his care q radical and permanent cure
will be effected

A Comparison,

The following we find in the New York
Journal of Commerce:
The Fremonters have much to say about
the large majorites Of their candidates in a
few of the States, particularly Massachusetts,
New York, Maine, and Vermont; but sup
pose we take look at the whole field. We
shall then find that Fremont is farther behind
in the popular than in the Electoral vote.
For it must be remembered that in fifteen
States of the Union he has no votes at all,
or SO few that they are not worth naming;
therefore the whole Buchanan vote of those
States is so much majority against Fremont.
We are inclined to think that the vote of
three candidates in the nation at large Count
ing South Carolina as 10000 for Buchanan,
and none for either Of the other candidates.
will be in the neighborhood of what follows
viz;
Buchanan, 100000
Fremont, 1.25O,OOO
Fillmore. 100000
The same paper makes out, from the
majorities in the several States, an aggre-
gate majority of 456, 900 for Buchanan over
Fremont in the nation at large, or say, in
round numbers, half Million 1t adds that
the Joint vote of Buchanan and Fillmore
that is to say the conversative vote of the
country--is about 2 2,500,O0O against 1,250,-
900 for Fremont, or in the proportion of
two to one. This is an encouraging fact and
shows that the nation is not wholly given
up to sectonalism.

A Need of Just Praise.

The ingratitude Of man to his fellow man is so
often met with in life that testimonials prompted
by the finer feelings of the heart oasis in the
life of those who sacrifice their best days in philan
thropc devotion to the allevation Of the ills of
irail mortality. Empricism floods the columns of
our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their own egotisti-
cal charlatanism. Below append letter
from a worthy man, who a brief period since,
seemed destined to ''shule off this mortal coil;''
who looked forward to his dissolution with that
pleasure which only those weighed down by the
heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope,

Is TIE Sun lNuAmrED?-Sr David Brews-
ter, says an exchange, states that so strong
has been the belief that the sun cannot be a
habitable world, that scientific gentleman
was pronounced 10y his medical attendant
insane because he had sent a paper to the
Royal Society in which he maintained that
the light Of the sun proceeded from dense
and universal aura, which may afford ample
light to the inhabitants beneath, and yet be
at such distance aott as not to be among
them: that there may be water and dry land
there, hills and dales, rain and fair weather,
and that, as the light and seasons must be
eternal, the sun may easily be conceived to
be by far the most b;ssful habitation of the
whole system. In less than ten years after
this apparently extlavagant notion was CON
sidered as a proof of his insanity, it was
manifested by Sir William Herschell as a ra-
tional and probable opinion, which might be
deducible from his own observations on the
structure of the sun.
