LIEUT.. WIN. LEWIS HEHADON, u. S. N, the
commander of the steamer Central America,
was born 10 Fredericksburg, Va, in October,
1918, and had been twenty-eight years in the
navy. He was brother-n-law Of Lieut.. Maury
lie successfully cruised in the Mediterranean,
in the Pacific, aud off the coast Of Brazil. In
the Mexican war he commanded the IRIS, under
Commodore Perry. lie is extensively aud ia
vol ably known throughout the country as the
leader Of the Amazon exploring expedition,
whose interesting report was published by Con-
gress. This expedition occupied eleven months.
Two years ago he was appointed to command
the Central America, then the Geo. Law. His
conduct during the trying times that preceded
the wreck Of the steamer, is spoken of by the
rescued passengers as worthy OF all praise. 1t
was principally owing to his coolness and heroic
exertioRs that the lives Of all the women and
children OH board we're saved. He stood OH the
whee-housc when the steamer went down, and
was last seen about IL o'clock, struggling mau-
fully for his life. There is possibility that he
may have been picked up by the unknown
schooner spoken of by some or the passengers.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN THE EAsT.-At last ad-
vices financial affairs in the Eastern States were
in an unsettled condition and fears were enter
tained Of . general smash-up throughout the
country. The New York Independent publishes
list Of l57 failures and suspensions. which had
occurred in the two weeks previous to the 18th
of September, 40 Of which were in New York
city. The money mar"et was tight. aud the
loss o: at least two millions Of treasure by the
wreck Of the Central America must have been
sensibly felt. The New York banks had mate
rally contracted their discounts, deposits were
being rapidly drawn from their vaults and in
terest was ranging from two 10 four per cent
per month.

CERTIFICATE.

/, the undersigned having been under the treat
ment of DR. l.. j. Czapkay, although unsolicited.
feel called upon to give publicity TO the efficacy of
his treatment hoping that by so doing, may be
instrumental ia preventing others from the fearful
suffering and misery which experienced, and
which often result from the perncious practice
of pretcnders. My disease has been that Of physi-
cal and mental debility, which follows in conse-
quence OF the ndiseretion of youth. The agonies
to detail; they are known to those who have expe-
rienced them. Suffice it to say, that having called
the services of DR.. l.. J. Czapkay in requisition,
all my expectations which may have formed of
him were more than realized would, therefore,
recommend DIR. Czapkay to all who may find them
selves afflicted with that dreadful malady. my OBJ
iect in so doing being sympathy for suffering hu-
manty, and heartfelt desire of relieving them.

Prompted by an honest desire of my heart. wish
to lay before the public which deserves q
high commendaton, not only as an act of scientific
skill, but that of humanity also. About two years
ago | suddenly and from causes unknown to me,
was seized with fit Of epilepsy, which, owing to
my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon
thorough medical treatment and the discourage
ment which met with on attempting it, soon be-
came such (as was then led to believe) as to defy
the skill of physician was frequently, while in
pursuit of my calling, thrown down to the ground
without the slightest warming and although insen.
sible to the agones yet despised the miseries of
life, and learned to look upon those who would
render me assistance or shelter me from danger as
enemies, who sought to prolong the misery of my
existence While in this state, and having previ-
GUS to my affection tasted the sweets of life was
once more induced to attempt seeking aid of ply
sician and by recommendation called upon DR.. l..
j. Czapkay told him my circumstances and my
inability to reward him for his services. regardless
of which, however he at once undertook my case
and, with the blessings Of God. was once more re-
stored to perfect health. Unable to reward him for
the boon which enjoy at present, and get conscious
of my Indebtedness, consider ii due to myself and
to all afflicted, to make the case public in order
that those in need of medical advice may find
physician in whom every confidence may be placed
