SCENE IN CoURr.-Hon. David Paul
Brown, of the Philadelphia Bar, relates the
following good story in late work of
his:
A quack had instituted suit for med
ical services against one ofhis neigbbors and
the suit being bro't for the use of another,
became himself the witness. A Mr.. Will
liams, who was employed to defend the
suit and 10 expose the quackery and igno-
rance ane worthlessness ofthe Doctor to the
following cross examination:
Counsel-Did you treat the patient ac-
cording to the most approved rules of sur
gerry?
Witness-By all means = certainly L
did.
Ceunsel-Did''you decapitate him?
Witness-Undoubtedly did-that was
matter of course.
Counsel-Did you perform the Cesa-
rean opertion upon him?
Witness-Why of course; his condition
required it, and it was attended with great
success.
Counsel-Did you now, doctor, subject
bis person to autopsy!
Witness-Certainly; that was attended
with great success.
Counsel-Well, then, doctor, as you first
cut off the defendants head, and then de-
sected him, and he still survives it, have
no more to ask; and if your claim will
survive 1t, quackery deserves to be iminor-

Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE

murdered by her two insane brothers near
Detroit, has been examined by physicians.
The number of external wounds found on

Of these twenty-eight were in the face,
nine were in the neck, tifty-fve were in the
chest, nine were in the right leg, ten in the
leftleg and thirty-three in the right arm and
hand, and thirty -one in the left arm and
hand, thirty-six upon the back, and one on
the right shoulder. These wounds ranged
from small wounds to wounds of consider
able extent. Some of them in the face
were from two to three inches deep on each
side of the nose. The one on the should
er was very large, being one or two inches
in depth. Seven ribs were broken on the
right side, and five on the left. The liver
was torn from the fractured ends of the ribs
half in two. OF the wounds in the head,
but one entered the skull, though the top
and back of it was beaten to perfect jelly.
The breast was also badly bruised.

Buchanan's persistent demands for more
money, do not sound much like his pro-

way with Democratic Presidents. Mr.. Van
Buren, when he came in, found our annual
expenses seventeen millions, and almost
doubled them before he went out. Mr..
Polk found them twenty-five millions, and
he doubled them. Gen. Pierce found them
forty millions, and he very nearly doubled
them. Mr.. Buchanan, probably, is only try

again.-AD. Journal.

what Senator Douglas Borrowed
Money for, Last Summer.

The Chicago Times of Friday, has the fol-
lowing
During the campaign q few of the lower
class of Republican papers and all the DANTE
papers of this State, parad d in their columns
two mortgages, executed by Mr. Douglas in
July last, upon which he borrowed $4,000 of
certain persons in New York, and these
same papers, destitute of all respect for truth
declared that this money had been raised to
be used in the Illinois election. A few of
the more denraved orators of the Opposition
used these mortgages upon the stump for the
purpose of establishing their argument that
Douglas was seeking to bay votes.
The facts of the case are these. In the sum.
mer of 1857, Senator Douglas purchased u
valuable tract of land in the city of Chicago
at cost of about Sl60. 900, one-fourth of
which was to be paid, with interest on The
whole, in one year. In two months after the
purchase the panic of 1857 commenced, and
when the year had expired its disastrous effects
upon the business of Chicago had not ceased
TO be felt. The land had been purchased to be
sold again in smaller lots, but during the fin
ancial trouble there was ofcourse bat little or
no sale of nnimproved real estate in this city.

performed every day by all men who own or

InsurrectiOn.

On Thursday last, when the Overseer of Col.
cambridge of DeSoto county, Miss, was about
to chastise one of his negro men, he was re-
sisted, and the spirit of rebellion seemed to
take possession of all the negroes on the plan
tation, numbering in all between fifty and one
hundred Both Col cambridge and his over
seer were compelled t. take refuge in the
house and bar the doors for safety. Court be-
ing in session at fernando, Judge Cushman,
on Friday, directed the deputy sheriff to sum-
mon posse for the purpose of reducing the
negroes to subsection. The sheriff returned
on Saturday, having arrested five, who were
placed in jail Others are still at large.
Those arrested will probably be brought to
trial at the present term of the court and it
is believed that under statute of the State,
they will be condemned to death

The Facts of the Amistad Case,

Some twenty years ago a slave ship landed
cargo Of African negroes on the Island OF
Cuba. They were there sold in lots "to suit
purchasers" A lot was bought by two Span
iards named Ruiz and MendpZ, who subse-
quently chartered small vessel TO take them
20 another part of the island. When ont of
sight of land. the negroes arose and took pos
session of the vessel, and demanded to be ia
ken back to their native homes in Africa.
They committed no assault upon their pur-
chaSers, further than to demand uf them
their release from bondage and their restor-
alton to home, kindred aud liberty
They knew nothing of navigation and the
vessel finally found it's way into the Long ISL
aud Sound, and was formally possession of by
the Revenue Cutter and brought into New
Haven. where the cases were tried. and the
conrt decided that they were entitled to their
freedom, and they were subsequently set at
liberty, and the two Spaniards lost their
property.
II we mistake not, the late John Quincy
Adams volunteered to be the counsel for the
negroes, and went to New Haven and argued
their case. They were declared free by the
District Court ofthc United States, from which
AN appeal was taken 10 the full bench of the
U. 5, Supreme Court, where the decision was
affirmed.
Afterward the Spanish Government claimed
from our Government remuneration tor the
loss which its citizens had sustained by the

Southern Salt.

About twelve months since allusion was
made by this journal to- the practicability and
profits of salt production by solar ey aporation
in Louisiana and other portions of the South
ern coast. The view then briefly presented
has beencorroborated by gentleman of some
scientific requirement and much practical
knowledge of salt manufacture, who presents
series of strong inducements for the estab
lishment of this new species of industry. : ?
The cost of the production Of the best sea
salt by new process for Increasing the ra-
pidity of solar evaporation. is placed at about
two cents per bushcl. Ii this estimate of first
cost is correct, home manufactured salt could
successfully compete in our markets with the
imported article-whieb is not delivered at
our wharves at less than twenty-five cents.
The South consumes about two million of
dollars worth of of salt. The manufacture of
this necessary article for home consumption
would save that amoCnt of money for other
purposes. 6 - AS
Furnished in any considerable quantities,
at so trifiing cost, il would doubtless soon
enter into use a fertilizer. as it issnow esta-
blishcd that. distributed judiciOusly over cot

Sea.salt must he used for curing meats and
fish. The Government stipulate that all salt

so cheap rate, would ineviatebly give the

which are sold more than million bushels of

the subject study that portions of the coast
of Louisiana are peculiarly adapted to the
production of salt by solar evaporation. The
Results promised render the examination OF
the plans worthy the attention of capitalists
and public men. AT some future day, doubt
